The Empress is Always Unambitious

Chapter 523: give up

Views:

Without family members, he didn't care.

Naturally, it's not easy to exploit his weaknesses.

So it went around like this over and over again, but we couldn't let him die.

The Sixth Prince listened for a while and then frowned. Even though he was still young, he understood that this person was talking nonsense.

He stood up angrily: "Just listen to his nonsense?"

"Your Highness, please calm down. Of course, you can't do this. Although he has no family, it is impossible not to interact with people in the forty years since he entered the palace. There are well-documented records from when he entered the palace of the Queen Mother and when he took charge of affairs. It just takes some time. Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will not fail to do my best.”

The sixth prince snorted and left.

Zhu Sizheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the sixth prince was not big yet, but he had a lot of momentum.

Qi Yixiu here knew that the Sixth Prince had gone to the Criminal Division and didn't say anything. Now after hearing Zhu Sizheng's report, he frowned slightly.

"Check carefully and dig deep to find out who he has been in contact with and who he is friendly with. Don't let it go. Investigate secretly as soon as possible." Qi Yixiu looked at Zhu Sizheng: "Remember, I want the truth."

"Yes, I will do my best." Zhu Sizheng's heartbeat accelerated, and he knew in his heart that the emperor's last words meant that even if she was really the queen mother, at least the emperor would know.

Qi Yixiu dropped the things in his hands and stood up: "Go to Jade Palace."

In the Jade Palace, Shen Chuliu was naturally not in good spirits, so he leaned on the couch outside and read a book.

When the emperor came, she did not get up, but just stayed on the couch to say hello.

It was getting cold today, and she had already lit a fire here because she was ill. Although it was just a pot of fire and it was set far away, it was warm and cozy in the palace.

"How are you today?" The emperor came over and sat down, picked up the book she was reading and took a look at it and asked.

"Much better. Why is the Emperor here at this time?" Shen Chuliu yawned: "Oh, I missed the time. It's already late. Is the Emperor hungry?"

"Prepare the meal as normal, I have something to tell you." Qi Yixiu waved his hand to express that he was not in a hurry.

"Huh?" Shen Chuliu tilted his head.

"Yan'er, Yan'er went to the Criminal Division today. He is worried about you." Qi Yixiu laughed.

"Oh, I know this. Yan'er also has a sense of proportion and didn't do anything, right?" Shen Chuliu narrowed his eyes.

"No, he listened to the interrogation for a while, but he was probably dissatisfied and said he got angry when he returned to Ruiqing Palace." Qi Yixiu said amusedly, "This kid's temper is up to you."

"It's normal to follow me. The emperor doesn't need to care. He is just angry that I suffered a disaster. But this matter is difficult to find out?" Shen Chuliu blinked, looking like he trusted the emperor.

Qi Yixiu hugged her and said, "You'll know in a few days, don't worry."

"Okay." Shen Chuliu smiled: "In that case, there is no need to talk about it. Although I have no strength today, I have a good appetite."

With that said, he started talking about food and drink with the emperor.

After all, she is still taking medicine, so her food should naturally be lighter, but she can also arrange light meals and always feel comfortable.

It's not boring for two people to chat about this. Kneeling at Su Xiuyi's feet was Aunt Peng, a steward of the Personnel Bureau in the harem.

She didn't look good at this moment, and she was kneeling beside Su Xiuyi, her whole body tense.

Su Xiuyi drank tea leisurely and gently put down the tea set. After a long time, she sighed: "Get up and answer."

"Thank you, Madam Xiuyi." Aunt Peng stood up and said with a dry throat.

"You are different from them. They are people with no roots and no family, so naturally they are willing to die. Although you have never married in your life, there is no one in your natal family." Su Xiuyi sighed again: "You are hiding this matter. I can do it, but since you are all in my hands, I can’t ignore it.”

"Ms. Xiuyi, help me. This is really not what I want to do." As she spoke, Aunt Peng knelt down again.

"I know." Su Xiuyi didn't rush to shout this time, but just said: "It's just that there must be a charter for this matter."

"Please help me, your Majesty." Aunt Peng swallowed: "Whatever your Majesty says, this slave will listen to you."

"This matter is easy to say and difficult to say. Since you are afraid of being found out, you have to do something." Su Xiuyi looked at her: "Since Zhao San is the person left by Empress Dowager Feng, someone must prove it. At this point, otherwise, the blame will be put on the Queen Mother? Not to mention whether the Queen Mother should bear the blame, the emperor is willing to ask his own mother to bear it? "

Aunt Peng sighed: "Empress Xiuyi is absolutely right. Please make the decision and give me some advice."

"Well, I said, it's simple. Zhao San did this behind his back, and you are the easiest to be picked out. But if you want to save yourself, you have to do your best. If you want to protect yourself, just You can't pity others, do you understand what I mean?" Su Xiuyi looked at the kneeling person below.

"What your Majesty means is... But... But Your Majesty, these people are still useful, you..." Aunt Peng was shocked.

"If you keep breaking things off, you will get confused. If there are several things in succession, both the emperor and the queen mother will be suspicious. I will not talk about the distant ones. The queen mother is frightened. The queen mother has something to ask for. I want to call Zhenchong The instrument is reset, so I don’t want to go into it openly, but what about secretly? "

"The emperor is also following the trend, and now it is impossible for them not to investigate secretly. The people left behind by Queen Mother Feng are certainly a good thing, but I am not her. I am just a cultivator. Having these people for too long is not necessarily a good thing."

Su Xiuyi finally said it clearly: "Empress Dowager Feng died too quickly and directly, without any disturbance. In the past few years, have the higher-ups really not suspected anything?"

Taking this opportunity, it is better to remove most of these forces. It may seem like a loss, but it is actually beneficial.

"But if this happens, will it involve you?" Aunt Peng's heartbeat accelerated.

"Then it's up to you, aunt. If you're fine, you won't involve me. How many others know about my existence?" She only met two people at the beginning, one was Eunuch Lin from the Personnel Bureau. One is Aunt Peng in front of me.

Although Zhao San knew of her existence, Zhao San was deeply favored by Empress Dowager Feng and would not betray her.

He also expected Su Xiuyi to do many things for Empress Dowager Feng.

Isn't this, Concubine Qianshu and her son are still fine

"But... Eunuch Lin..." Aunt Peng bit her lip.

"Aunt Peng, you have been in the palace for thirty years. You should know that people will be punished if they don't do it for themselves, right? Zhao San is strong and strong, but can you guarantee that there are others who are like this?" Su Xiuyi asked.

Aunt Peng lowered her head, no, she didn't dare.

She herself is afraid of the punishment of the Criminal Division, let alone others

"If you want to survive, you must have means. I believe in you. No matter how many people are captured this time, you will be my confidant in the future. Empress Dowager Feng has gone, and you loyal people should change your way of life. Isn't it?" Su Xiuyi smiled.

Aunt Peng bit her lip: "What the Queen said is that the Queen just waits for the good news and it will be solved today."
