When Concubine Chun passed away, Jun Qianche sent someone to notify Concubine Chun's family immediately. After Concubine Chun's family learned about it, they immediately rushed to the palace, but they encountered an assassin on the way. Fortunately, the emperor sent the Royal Guards to greet him. , otherwise Chun Fei’s parents and brother would have died on the roadbr>
Concubine Chun's father is a second-rank official in the court, and her brother is a third-rank official. They are usually very close to the Mo family.
Concubine Chun's parents and brother were brought to the imperial study in embarrassment and met Jun Qianche.
Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Jun Qianche asked in shock: "Two He Aiqing and Mrs. He, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Chun's father He Guangyuan said sadly and angrily: "Back to the emperor, we received news from the palace people that Concubine Chun had passed away unfortunately, so we hurried into the palace in a hurry. Who knew that on the way, we met an assassin and wanted to Assassinate us. Fortunately, the imperial guards sent by the emperor to greet me arrived in time, otherwise the lives of me and my family would not have been saved."
Jun Qianche said angrily: "It's unreasonable. These assassins under the Emperor's feet dare to act so boldly. I will definitely send people to arrest them."
Concubine Chun's brother He Mingchang asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear about you."
Jun Qianche looked at him and said, "If He Aiqing has any doubts, just tell him."
"Your Majesty, I am confused. Concubine Chun died suddenly of a hidden illness. Why would an assassin want to assassinate us, and why did the Emperor send the Imperial Guard to meet us? Could it be that Concubine Chun died of a hidden illness?" He Mingchang's eyes were filled with confusion. Shining with shrewdness and guesswork.
After hearing this, Jun Qianche shook his head and said sadly: "He Aiqing is indeed a young and promising minister in the court. He observes things meticulously. Yes, Concubine Chun's death was not caused by a hidden illness, but by someone poisoning her."
Chun Fei's family was shocked.
Concubine Chun's mother couldn't accept what she heard. She knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun died unjustly. You must find out the murderer for Concubine Chun and restore Concubine Chun's innocence."
Jun Qianche ordered: "Here, help Mrs. He up quickly."
"Yes!" Two palace maids stepped forward and helped Chun Fei's mother up.
Concubine Chun's father said sadly: "Your Majesty, who dares to be so bold and poisoned Concubine Chun in the palace?"
Jun Qianche said sadly: "I have sent people to investigate this matter secretly. In order not to alert the snake, I announced to the public that Concubine Chun died of a sudden hidden illness. According to the results of the investigation I sent people, Concubine Chun died of poison against her will." ."
"Poison against one's will? What kind of poison is this?" Concubine Chun's family asked in confusion.
Jun Qianche glanced at Eunuch Lin.
Eunuch Lin stepped forward and explained to them the toxicity of the heart-breaking poison.
Concubine Chun's family was shocked after hearing this: "There is such a bad poison in the world."
Concubine Chun's brother asked: "Since this kind of poison is caused by people who betray their loyalty, I wonder what Concubine Chun did to violate her will?"
Jun Qianche's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "Concubine Chun added musk to the snacks given to the queen in an attempt to poison the child in the queen's belly. When I learned about this, I went to ask her, and Concubine Chun knew that she had done something wrong. , I admitted my mistake, thinking that she was the first offender, and decided to be grounded for a month as punishment. Concubine Chun was grateful and wanted to tell the person who was behind her, but she died of poison before she could tell her. "
Concubine Chun's family members were shocked and worried when they heard this: "How could Concubine Chun do such a thing?"
Concubine Chun's family still had some resentment towards Jun Qianche. They felt that he had failed to protect his daughter and had betrayed her. After hearing this, they became frightened. The queen was pregnant with the emperor's first child. , I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to it. If the Queen's child has any shortcomings, I am afraid that the whole family will be questioned and beheaded.
Seeing their nervousness and fear, a sneer flashed across Jun Qianche's lips, and then he said in a gentle tone: "He Aiqing, Mrs. He, you don't have to be afraid. If I wanted to implicate the He family for this matter, I would have announced it long ago. Out, the reason why I didn't say anything was because I didn't want to implicate the innocent He family, because I knew that Concubine Chun must have been instructed by others."
Concubine Chun's father immediately followed Jun Qianche's words and said: "Your Majesty is wise. Concubine Chun has been kind-hearted since she was a child. She would pity even an ant. How dare you kill the prince! Someone must be threatening you behind the scenes. .”
"I also feel that this matter is not trivial, so I have not made it public. The people behind the scenes must also be afraid that He Aiqing and you will know the truth, so they will ambush assassins on your way into the palace. It is because I am worried about this that I send the Royal Forest Army. I'm going to pick you up. Fortunately Concubine Chun is here to protect you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. The person behind the scenes is really cruel." Jun Qianche said angrily.
Concubine Chun's brother said angrily: "The people behind the scenes are afraid that we will know the truth. From this point of view, the person behind the scenes may be someone from the court."
Jun Qianche nodded: "He Aiqing is just as I guessed. The queen is pregnant with my first child, so someone has had his idea. This person must be a member of the former court, and I will secretly send him Someone is investigating this matter.”
Concubine Chun's father said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for concealing this matter and not making what Concubine Chun did to the public. Not only did it take into account Concubine Chun's reputation, but it also showed kindness to our He family. I will definitely be a minister in the future." Be loyal to the Emperor and repay His Majesty’s favor.”
"What He Aiqing said is too serious. Get up quickly! Concubine Chun is my concubine, and the two He Aiqings are my ministers. I will tolerate them both emotionally and rationally. It's just that the person behind the scenes has not been caught. Live, not only does Concubine Chun die with her eyes open, but she is still a danger to the child in the queen's womb. I am really worried that he will threaten other people in the harem to harm the child in the queen's womb."
Concubine Chun's father comforted her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty and the little prince will definitely be in harmony with each other."
Jun Qianche nodded and called the commander of the Royal Forest Army outside the door to come in and ask him if he had caught any assassins alive.
The commander of the Royal Forest Army reported: "Back to the emperor, the assassin was too cunning and did not catch anyone alive, but the general was there.
