An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 352: Prince Guo’s Plan
Prince Guo used the country as bait, betting that the emperor would not let go of those who went against his will. When he heard that the emperor had relented, he immediately told the emperor the news he had found out.
"Are you sure it's from the Guarjia clan?"
"Yes, I dare say, there is nothing wrong with that."
The emperor nodded, seeming to agree with Prince Guo's words, "Zhen Yuandao's secret collection of Qian Mingshi's poems was done by Guarjia Emin."
"Yes, I'm afraid that this matter was framed by Lord Guarjia. He was afraid that the emperor would find out the truth in the future, so he took the initiative and ordered people to murder Zhen Yuandao and his wife with plague."
Prince Guo's tone became more and more indignant. He held the fan in his hand, and his tone was quite certain, "This plague is so dangerous, the person who did it wanted to kill Zhen Yuandao and his wife, so he used it.
The officers and soldiers and the daughter of the Zhen family were afraid to step forward to help, and could only watch them being sealed to death in the cellar.
Your Majesty's method is really bad. If you allow such people to do evil in the court, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger soon, affecting the foundation of the court."
"That being said, it is indeed dangerous."
Prince Guo nodded repeatedly. Seeing that the emperor's expression had eased, he continued to add fuel to the fire, "If this plague is introduced into the palace by someone with ulterior motives, who knows how much trouble it will cause."
"Don't exaggerate. There is no rat problem anywhere right now. Even if you really have that evil intention, it is not easy to carry it out."
Using plague to kill people will often affect innocent people due to its high contagiousness. If it is not controlled well, the entire village can be wiped out within three to five days.
Therefore, even if a war was launched, such a cruel and inhumane method would rarely be used. After all, a city had to be captured and garrisoned. With the plague raging, how could a city be defended after being captured?
"It's my fault," Prince Guo hurriedly bowed his hands to apologize, he took a deep breath, "I am also worried about the safety of the emperor. After all, the important officials in the court have ulterior motives, so we have to be on guard.
Moreover, in the harem, there is the daughter of the Guarjia clan as a concubine. This conspiracy is the most dangerous. I really feel the same way. "
"Forget it. I have no intention of punishing you. You don't need to worry so much."
The emperor said that he would not punish Prince Guo, but in his heart he was considering whether Prince Guo still had helpers in secret.
Since ancient times, the harem has used various means to interfere in politics. I'm afraid that Prince Guo's mother is also connected with certain aristocratic families.
It seems necessary to investigate. The emperor had a plan in mind, and his expression relaxed a lot. "Well, I will assign you some more people to investigate the whole story.
If you do a good job on this matter, it is not impossible for me to let Huanbi come back."
“If you can let the daughter of the Zhen family return to the capital, I will certainly be grateful.
Your Majesty, within three days, I will thoroughly investigate the whole story of this matter."
In fact, Prince Guo had already prepared all the evidence. Three days later, he brought the officers and soldiers involved in the incident to see him. The officers and soldiers could not bear the beating and quickly explained the whole story - it was Guwalgiya Emin who sent someone to bribe them and handed him an earthenware jar sealed with mud.
He didn't know what was inside, but the man named Chen Si instructed him to take the Zhen couple into the cellar and then smash the jar.
It was not until the jar was broken that they realized that it contained nothing but rotten rats. The moment the jar broke, a fishy smell hit them in the face. The officers and soldiers were so disgusted that they almost vomited and closed the door without thinking.
"I'm afraid that mouse was caught in a place where plague was rampant and placed in a jar sealed with mud, so that not a single bit of smell could seep out.
Thinking of such a method to harm someone is so cruel that it makes my scalp tingle. Even if the two of them had a grudge and wanted to kill someone to silence them, they should not send someone to retaliate with such extreme means.
The plague is no small matter. If it is not handled properly, it will spread to the whole city. The people will then be in panic. How can they live and work in peace?
This shows that the Guarjia clan’s heart is indeed not right. If it were not for the mercy of God, they would be in dire straits by now.”
What Prince Guo said does make some sense. If there is even the slightest omission in any link, innocent people will be involved.
The plague is difficult to cure, and people’s lives cannot be used as bargaining chips.
Prince Guo has a very accurate grasp of the emperor's inner thoughts. As an emperor, he has to consider not only the safety of one person, but the stability of all people in the world.
Now that things have come to this, the emperor must continue the investigation no matter what. Otherwise, the civil servants and censors will continue to poke at his spine, making him restless day and night.
"Who is the Chen Si you are talking about?"
"Your Majesty, I have checked and found that Chen Si is a member of the Guaerjia family's residence, but he does not hold any important position in the Guaerjia family's residence. He seems to be just an ordinary servant."
"To do something so evil, how could you possibly use the people around you who are so influential? Once it's exposed, you won't even have a chance to defend yourself.
None of these ministers are fools."
Seeing that the emperor began to follow his ideas, Prince Guo was secretly delighted. Huan'er had predicted everything, even the emperor's reaction. He continued to persuade her calmly, "If what the officer said is true, the emperor must investigate it thoroughly.
I am afraid that the Guaerjia family and the Zhen family have had a grudge for a long time, which is why they framed her and caused her to lose her job first, and then murdered her. "
"Old Seventeen, are you suspecting that the matter in Zhen Yuandao's family was deliberately framed and slandered by Guarjia Emin?"
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of clearing Huanbi's name. Her mother is indeed the daughter of a guilty minister, and I cannot deny it. Zhen Yuandao should also bear the blame for this matter.
I am just wondering whether the case of Qian Mingshi's poetry collection was a deliberate slander, and the person who really harbored the intention of disloyalty was not Zhen Yuandao, but Guarjia Emin. "
The emperor stared at Prince Guo for a long time without saying a word. As for the case of Qian Mingshi's poetry collection, even if the poetry collection was wrongly accused, it was a fact that Zhen Yuandao was unwilling to write poetry, and it was not wrong for him to privately help Qian Mingshi.
It turns out that Old Seventeen is not interested in finding out the truth, but in overturning the verdict for the Zhen family.
It was indeed a deep evil fate that he refused to let go even at this moment.
The more Prince Guo spoke, the more annoyed the emperor became with Zhen Huan. He completely forgot how he was attracted to Zhen Huan, how he forgave her again and again, and how he made everyone in the harem resent her.
He was only concerned about Prince Guo being tempted by beauty and foolishly going through fire and water, completely disgracing the royal family.
When the emperor mocked Prince Guo, wasn't he also mocking himself?
"I will find out the truth. You have had a hard time recently. You haven't been with your wife for a long time."
Prince Guo wanted to say a few more words, but the emperor brought up other things, so Prince Guo had to respond.
"The wife is in good health, and the child is not making trouble. I have done a lot to help the emperor solve his problems, and the children's personal feelings should be put aside."
You should put your personal affairs aside for now, but why are you so impatient about the Zhen family's affairs that you rushed to Ningguta even before the confinement was lifted.
"I was thinking that you have been running around for the Zhen family's affairs for a long time and are already exhausted both physically and mentally. I wanted you to have a good rest.
But I never thought that Old Seventeen was still as concerned about the country as before."
Prince Guo was not a fool. When he heard the words "country and land", he was worried that the emperor would become suspicious of him. He immediately cupped his hands and expressed his loyalty to the emperor. "I am ashamed to say that before I did this, I only wanted to bring the women of the Zhen family back from Ningguta.
But as the investigation deepened, I began to worry about Guwalgia Emin's rebellious intentions.
It is precisely for this reason that I am not willing to return to the land of comfort and put Your Majesty in danger. "
"In that case, this matter will be left to you to handle."
After all, he is dealing with a big Manchu family. If he can keep his hands clean and preserve his reputation as a monarch, it is not a bad idea to use his brothers, especially this Prince Guo. The emperor will use him without any guilt, and even cruelly thinks that it is a good thing to let him and the Guaerjia family suffer losses together.
"The forces in the palace are intertwined, and you are the only one I can trust at this moment. As for Mrs. Meng, I will ask the Queen to send some supplements to comfort her, but as her husband, you should also go back and take a look."
The emperor's instructions were exactly what Prince Guo wanted, and he agreed without even thinking about it. The opportunity to turn things around for the Zhen family was right in front of him, and he would definitely not give up.
As for Meng Jingxian, it would not be too late to return home after the matter was resolved. Huan'er was still suffering, and she could not wait a moment longer.
Only by clearing the Zhen family's charges can Huan'er become the clean Huan'er again and live the life she wants.
If she was willing to be with him at that time, he would not care about his status as a prince. No matter where we are, there will always be a home that belongs to us alone.
"I will investigate Chen Si thoroughly. If I can find evidence of Guaerjia's crimes, I will immediately hand it over to the emperor for decision."
"Remember to save Chen Si's life, otherwise this powerful evidence will be lost again."
"I understand, but there is one thing that worries me." Prince Guo recalled Zhen Huan's request, and he sighed awkwardly, "I wonder if Concubine Qi knows about this. Your Majesty should be careful in the palace. I am afraid that as I investigate, the Guarjia family will become desperate and force Concubine Qi to do many unfavorable things to my brother for the sake of the family.
If possible, Your Majesty could investigate this noble lady Qi, at least it would make me feel more at ease."
Safe? The emperor doesn't think that Prince Guo has such good intentions, but he still needs to investigate Concubine Qi. The emperor doesn't want another Cai Ping to appear among his bedmates.
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself. I won't say more. Once you find out the truth, I will naturally fulfill your wish."
"I thank the Emperor."
Prince Guo was delighted. This way, he could send a message to Huan'er, and they would be able to escape from the sea of suffering soon. Huan'er must be very happy.
After finally sending Prince Guo away, the emperor immediately sneered. He pondered for a moment and then called Su Peisheng in.
"Your Majesty, this servant is here."
"How's Shen's?"
"In reply to the emperor, Shen has been depressed since she was taken back to the Forbidden City. When the nanny mentions the emperor, her face becomes cold and she is unwilling to ask any more questions.
But she never tried to escape, but occasionally asked about the Shen family's situation. After learning that the Shen family was doing well, she would burn incense and pray to Buddha, sometimes not eating a meal for the whole day.
He was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. I went to see him the other day and was quite shocked.”
"How can she have such a good life in the cold palace?" When the emperor heard about Shen Meizhuang's current situation, his heart was not at all moved. Shen Meizhuang colluded with the Shen family, used medicine to fake her death and left the palace, and did all kinds of things to deceive the emperor, which made people angry when they heard about it.
Now she and hundreds of other members of the Shen family are being saved simply because they still have some value.
"Send a message to Shen Zishan, saying that you saw Shen Meizhuang in the capital, and ask him if he has done anything to deceive the emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Peisheng neither thought nor asked any more questions. He walked out quickly and luckily met Cui Jinxi.
"Eunuch Su is in such a hurry, but which lady's palace are you going to?"
"It's something else. The emperor is in a bad mood today and I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to go to Suiyuxuan." Su Peisheng revealed the emperor's news to Cui Jinxi, who immediately understood and nodded to prepare to go back.
"It seems inappropriate to send this sweet soup over. I still have to go back to take care of the young lady, so I will leave first, Eunuch Su."
When the two passed each other, they did not forget to look at each other. Su Peisheng was in a particularly good mood at this moment, and he was not nervous at all in front of the emperor.
After just two steps, Su Peisheng bumped into Ling Rong. Cui Jinxi's figure was still visible in the distance. He knew in his heart that Concubine Sheng must have seen their interaction clearly.
"Your servant pays respects to Concubine Sheng. Are you...going to look for the Emperor?"
"I was taking the princess for a walk and only walked here." Ling Rong glanced at Cui Jinxi in the distance and immediately smiled knowingly, "Eunuch Su, don't worry. I promised you to keep the secret and I will not break my promise."
"Your Majesty, your kindness is so great that I will never forget it." Su Peisheng bowed quickly and repeated to Lingrong what he had just said to Cui Jinxi.
But he told Lingrong more, even telling her that Prince Guo stayed in the Yangxin Palace for two hours.
"It's a pity that I don't know what Prince Guo and the Emperor talked about, so I can't tell Your Majesty more news."
Su Peisheng smiled sincerely, but he did not say everything. In fact, he knew a little about what Prince Guo and the Emperor talked about, but he did not explain it to Lingrong in order to save his own life.
In this palace, no matter who discovers what secrets, the most important thing is to be loyal to the emperor. As for other people, they are only forced to do so by the situation, just like Concubine Sheng now.
"Then I would like to thank Eunuch Su for informing me of such an important matter."
