Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 253: Trying to Frame King Chen
After dinner, the two sisters sat in the flower hall for a while.
Bai Qianqian held her stomach with both hands and said contentedly, "This hot pot is really something you never get tired of. Big sister, we should eat it more often in the future."
Bai Jinyan smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you want to eat, we can arrange it anytime."
As the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside. It turned out that the butler came in.
"Miss Eldest, Miss Fourth, someone from Prince Chen's Mansion just came and said they have something important to discuss." The butler said respectfully.
Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan looked at each other, both feeling confused.
"Do you know what it is?" Bai Qianqian asked.
The housekeeper shook his head: "The visitor did not say clearly, just asked the fourth young lady to go to Prince Chen's Mansion as soon as possible."
Bai Qianqian frowned, wondering what urgent matter could happen in Prince Chen's Mansion so late at night.
But since she was invited by Prince Chen's Mansion, she couldn't refuse to go.
"Big sister, let me go and take a look." Bai Qianqian stood up.
Bai Jinyan warned, "Be careful. If anything happens, send someone back to tell them."
Bai Qianqian responded and went out.
At present, Qingqing and Qingyan have been arranged by her to take care of the victims outside the city.
Therefore, there was no one to serve her.
When they arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion, Bai Qianqian was taken directly to the study by Uncle Fu.
King Chen was sitting at his desk with a serious look on his face.
"Your Highness, why did you call me here so late?" Bai Qianqian asked in confusion.
King Chen glanced at her and said slowly, "I just received news that someone is secretly obstructing the preparations for the girls' school."
Bai Qianqian was shocked: "What? Who is so bold?"
King Chen shook his head: "It is not clear yet, but this matter must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise the girls' school may be difficult to build."
Bai Qianqian bit her lip and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will think of a solution when I get back."
King Chen nodded and said, "Be careful when you go back. Tell me any situation at any time."
After Bai Qianqian left Prince Chen's Mansion, she kept thinking about this matter along the way.
When she returned to the Bai Mansion, Bai Jinyan was still waiting for her.
"What's going on? What happened in Prince Chen's Mansion?" Bai Jinyan asked.
Bai Qianqian told her what King Chen said.
Bai Jinyan also frowned.
"What should we do?" Bai Jinyan's face was full of worry.
Bai Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, big sister. Let's start by checking the people around us to see if there is a traitor."
In the next few days, Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan investigated secretly but still had no clue.
Just when they felt helpless, Chu Yuxuan brought an important news.
"Qianqian, I heard that a powerful official in the court did not want the girls' school to be built because he was afraid that girls' knowledge would threaten their status." Chu Yuxuan said with a grim expression.
Bai Qianqian's eyes turned cold: "No matter who they are, I won't let them succeed."
Chu Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Building a girls' school was more difficult than they thought.
Bai Qianqian clenched her fists and said firmly, "Sister Chu, we can't just give up like this. We have to find evidence to prevent that person's conspiracy from succeeding."
Chu Yuxuan nodded: "I know, but that person has great influence in the court, so we have to be careful."
Bai Jinyan said at the side: "Let's not alert the enemy yet, let's slowly collect evidence."
So the three of them began to investigate more carefully.
Bai Qianqian used her connections in the capital to try to find clues.
Chu Yuxuan used her family connections to find out some inside information.
However, as they worked hard to investigate, they found that their actions always seemed to be known in advance by the other party, and they were obstructed at every turn.
"There must be something wrong within us." Bai Qianqian said with a frown.
Bai Jinyan also agreed: "That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence every time."
Chu Yuxuan pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Could it be that when we were investigating the people around us, someone noticed us and tipped off that person?"
Bai Qianqian thought it made sense: "It's very likely. It seems we need to review the previous investigation process."
After careful recollection, they discovered that the behavior of an usually inconspicuous servant was somewhat suspicious.
"Don't alarm him yet, let's observe secretly." Bai Qianqian ordered.
Sure enough, during a tracking session, it was discovered that the servant was secretly meeting with a strange man to pass on messages.
Bai Qianqian and others caught him on the spot, and after some interrogation, they finally learned about some plans of the powerful people behind the scenes.
"With these clues, we will have a way to deal with them." A hint of excitement flashed in Bai Qianqian's eyes.
However, before they could take action, the powerful man took the initiative.
In the court, Prince Chen was falsely accused of plotting a rebellion, and the girls' school was just a cover.
There was silence in the court.
When the Crown Prince and the Second Prince heard what this adult said, their eyes were filled with smiles.
And he stood up.
"Father, I think what Lord Guo said must be believed."
"Father, the idea of a girls' school is nonsense. How can there be a school for girls? I'm afraid that my fifth brother has other intentions!"
When the two of them said this, a minister immediately responded.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, his eyes sweeping over everyone.
King Chen stood up and said, "Father, I have no intention of rebelling. This is a pure false accusation! The girls' school is also for the benefit of the people and to allow women to have more knowledge. There is no other intention."
At this time, the Left Prime Minister Bai Qingsong also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I know the character of King Chen very well. He would never commit a rebellion. There may be a misunderstanding. Please investigate it carefully."
Upon seeing this, Lord Guo quickly said, "Your Majesty, they are all in the same group, so they will naturally protect each other."
Bai Qingsong looked at Lord Guo with indifference in his eyes and sneered, "You keep accusing King Chen, what is your intention?"
Lord Guo was speechless for a moment.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the Sixth Prince, who had been silent, spoke up: "Father, I believe that my Fifth Brother will not rebel. Father and the Queen were poisoned before, thanks to my Fifth Brother. If it weren't for my Fifth Brother, Father's poison could not be cured."
The Sixth Prince was telling the truth.
The situation was very urgent.
If Xie Mochen had not called Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan, but relied on the imperial physician.
At this moment, there was no Emperor Xuanwu sitting on the dragon throne.
After hearing what the Sixth Prince said, the Emperor's expression eased slightly, but he still did not express his opinion.
The Crown Prince saw this and said, "Father, you should not listen to the Sixth Brother. He has always had a good relationship with the Fifth Brother, so he will naturally favor the Fifth Brother."
Bai Qingsong shouted angrily: "Prince, please stop slandering me!"
The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense.
At this time, the Minister of Finance, Lord Chu, also advised, "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be considered carefully, and King Chen should not be convicted lightly."
The second prince said, "Father, the evidence is irrefutable. How can we tolerate this?"
The emperor finally said, "Let's put this matter on hold for now. I will send someone to investigate in detail."
