The queen hated Hou Shi very much now, especially when she heard that the prince could not eat well in prison and could not sleep well, she even wished to peel Hou Shi's skin and cramp to relieve the hatred in her heart.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world, when they were just about to leave, they heard the palace maid's scream, and then saw the palace maid's answer that covered the surface and made people suspicious. Although the prince is beautiful, he also knows that the Taoist temple is not a place for him to have fun, not to mention that the beautiful woman is the emperor's woman, even if the prince has that lust, he will not have that lust.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world, the palace maid found that the prince and Li Meiren were disheveled in the room, then Li Meiren slammed into the wall and committed suicide, and then the prince appeared in everyone's sight, as if someone was deliberately waiting for them to find out, And deliberately let so many people see it, so that they can't even protect the prince.
Li Meiren is the last straw that broke the camel's back. The emperor loves Li Meiren very much these days, so she has brought her to pray for the queen mother. Many concubines in the harem who are older than her have never had such an important thing. honor.
For such a woman with means, the first thing she should think of when encountering such a thing is how to solve it, instead of hitting the wall and dying, this really doesn't look like Li Meiren's temperament. However, the aunt in the palace said that Li Meiren does have the aura of after love. Who is this cruel hand
The queen thought about Hou Shi's miscarriage, and it was indeed her handwriting in the middle, but the matter was very concealed, and Hou Shi should not have noticed it. If it weren't for this, why did the Hou family retaliate against the prince so madly
But apart from Prince Sheng and his wife, who else would have the ability to set such a big trap? Although King Xian has quite a reputation in Beijing, he doesn't like to be involved in political affairs. Even if he wants to play this kind of conspiracy, he doesn't have such a large network of contacts.
So... Shengjun Wangfu!
That bitch of the Hou family, the queen was so angry that she smashed several teacups at her hand. If it weren't for this bitch, why would her son have to suffer so much? Is a place like Tianjing a place for the prince who has lived in fine clothes and food since he was a child
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. The queen smashed a few more pieces of china, and then she remembered the suspicious palace maid. The palace maid's scream did not seem to be frightened, but seemed to attract the attention of their female relatives, so she screamed. Extraordinarily sharp.
"Empress Empress," Zhao Dong hurried in from outside, as if he didn't see a lot of broken porcelain on the ground, he respectfully bowed to the Empress, "Empress Empress, the identity of the palace maid has been checked out, but..."
"But what?" The queen had a bad premonition in her heart, and her eyebrows couldn't help jumping several times.
"This palace maid is gone," Zhao Dong lowered his head, not daring to look at the queen's face. "This palace maid was found to have committed suicide in the house early this morning, and she also left a suicide note." Zhao Dong Conghuai He took out two pages of letter paper, "This letter is a copy that I copied from Dali Temple, please take a look at it."
After the queen took the letter and looked at it, she was so angry that she rearranged the letter on the table: "Why didn't she see the prince and Li Meiren lying together, and what did she mean by exchanging a mere life for the safety of her family?!"
This letter seemed to excuse the prince, but in fact it pulled him into the quagmire. Whoever looked at this letter seemed like a palace maid could not bear the threat of their prince's lineage, and she was afraid of hurting her family, so she simply committed suicide to apologize.
"Okay, very good," the queen said after taking a few deep breaths in anger, "These people just don't want to give my son a way to survive, right? Ben Gong will see who is so capable of stealing this book from me. What belongs to my son."
The Empress knew in her heart that after this incident, even if the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, he would leave a stigma in history. The whole capital knew about this incident, and it was impossible to hide it. What she is more afraid of is that after her son takes the throne, those ambitious princes will rebel under these banners. If this matter is not properly investigated, there will be endless troubles.
But even if this matter is found out, will the common people believe it
Thinking of this, the queen's anger dissipated a lot, and she turned to ask, "Who is the person in charge of this case?"
"Reporting to Empress, it is Master Zhang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Master Huang, Minister of Punishment."
"Master Huang?" The Queen pondered, "But Huang Wei?"
"Hui Niangniang, it is this person. Zhang Shaoqing used to work in Weiwei Temple before, but because of the assassination of a horse in Linping County, he was dispatched to Dali Temple to start a thorough investigation of the horse case in Linping County." He showed his ability, so he deliberately inquired about things clearly before reporting to the queen.
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Huang Wei was originally from their faction. As for Zhang Shaoqing, it seems that he is not an important person, otherwise he would not have been pushed out when he was topping the pack. How difficult it is, everyone in the capital knows that he was sent to investigate this kind of case at this time, which means that there is no one behind him to help him, otherwise why would he have to take such drudgery.
She was also relieved of such a person, so she sighed and said, "Bengong knows, you bring some things to the prince. I am worried that the prince is not used to the things in the heavenly prison."
"Yes." Zhao Dong stepped back.
After he left the door and there was no one around, he tossed his sleeves. Could it be that someone was born accustomed to the things in the prison
Although there was the case of the horse assassination in Linping County, the life of the common people during the day was not affected, and the lively things were still lively as usual.
In order to avoid disturbing the people in the carriage, Yan Jinqiu simply let the carriage go around the alley to return to the house, but when the carriage was halfway, there was a carriage coming towards him in front of him.
"Weichen Zhang Hou has seen Prince Xian." Zhang Hou didn't seem to expect to meet the carriage of Prince Xian's mansion in the alley, so he got off the carriage and came to salute Yan Jinqiu.
"Zhang Shaoqing doesn't need to be more polite," Yan Jinqiu stepped out of the carriage, stretched out his hand to help him, and then stepped back a few steps: "Master Zhang looks a little worse than the previous days, and it's been hard work recently."
"Being able to share the worries of the king is the honor of being a minister, and a small minister is not suffering," Zhang Hou's case should not be too close to someone in the royal family, so when the two talk, they are separated by a few steps away." Thank you, my lord, for your concern."
After a few words, the two of them got into the carriage and left. No matter who looked at it, it was just a coincidence, and both of them were very estranged and polite, almost unfamiliar.
Although such a big thing happened, Hua Xiwan became more relaxed. No one posted a post to invite her to the banquet in the past two days, and no one came to chat with her. She was happy and relaxed.
But it didn't take long before she saw Bai Xia walking in.
"Master, Princess Shengjun is here."
Hua Xiwan was stunned. Princess Shengjun had never posted to her before, so why did she come suddenly? This is really not like Hou's style. In the past, the princess of Shengjun was comprehensive in everything and would not make mistakes in this kind of etiquette.
Thinking of the unusually bright eyes of Princess Shengjun when she went to the Sanqing Temple, she helped Bu Yao, who was holding her temples, pursed her lips and said, "Hurry up, please."
People have already arrived at the palace, and she can't drive them away. If she does, the capital will be even more lively.
She thought about it for a while, and then called a few more maids to serve in the reception room.
