wealthy queen

Chapter 374 Dog bites dog!

Lingyu's real master is Concubine Xu. She is the mastermind behind the murder of the royal family's heirs. Rumors swept across the imperial city as quickly as she had grown legs. The popularity of Ling Yunyi's marriage has not yet passed. The censors with the authority of Feng Erzao have impeached Concubine Xu and the prince more than once in court, and the five princes and their party took the opportunity to yell for grievances.

Of course, the princeling party is not a soft persimmon. They insisted that there is no evidence, someone must have deliberately framed it, and this person undoubtedly pointed to the fifth princeling party. Therefore, the princeling party and the direct son party are biting each other. , The fight was dark.

The emperor didn't stop the fight between the two sons and their henchmen, but he didn't help Qin Yuntian secretly like before. The poisoning of Ling Yulin's child finally separated the father and son. He didn't show any abnormality, his paranoia still made him choose to guard against Qin Yuntian.

In order to curb Qin Yuntian and Qin Yunshen's influence from spreading and growing, the emperor issued several imperial decrees in one day, first promoting the sixth prince's concubine, who was already a virtuous concubine, to the imperial concubine, and bestowing the eldest daughter of the Minister of Officials as the sixth prince's concubine, The seventh prince's mother and concubine were promoted to virtuous concubines, and the eldest son of the Marquis of Jiangyin was given the seventh prince's concubine, the eighth prince's mother and concubine as a good concubine, and the concubine of the eighth prince's concubine Chen Yuzhen, who was about to return to report at the end of the year Concubine, the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Yang family was given the title of concubine of the ninth prince, and the mother families of the several princes also praised each other. After the sequel, in a short while, the power of the remaining seven princes who are capable of seizing the heirloom gradually became equal again, and the crown prince's biological mother Xu Concubine, her concubine position, still remained unchanged, even if the fourth concubine still had a vacant concubine.

"bump!"

Qian Yuanzheng Palace declared to the outside world that she was contemplating her mistakes behind closed doors, and the empress who had donated and copied the Diamond Sutra to atone for her sins smashed out the teacup in her hand, and the delicate and expensive teacup was broken into seven or eight pieces, and the tea spilled all over the floor: "What a concubine Xu, so For many years, Ben Gong has really misjudged her, always thought that she was a safe person, but I didn't expect that she was secretly plotted against Ben Gong."

Empress Sun's expression was gloomy and distorted. After several days of interrogation, Wang Momo finally learned from a cleaning eunuch today that he saw Lingyu avoiding the person she sent to make him stop that day. If she was really her, How could it be possible to avoid it?Combined with the rumors outside, it is not difficult to confirm that Lingyu is indeed not his person, but a dark thread placed by Concubine Xu beside her.

"Madam, calm down."

Grandma Wang secretly winked at the serving maids and told them to clean up. Empress Sun was furious and growled: "How do you let this palace calm down? She, Xu Qian, is just the daughter of a fourth-rank official. The empress has been in charge of the harem for many years, but in the end she was playing around with her, secretly he might know how to mock this palace, damn it, this palace will never let her go."

The more Empress Sun thought about it, the more angry she became, and she wished to cut Concubine Xu into pieces, but the other party was also a concubine after all, if she wanted to mess with her openly, she had to have evidence, if she came secretly, it would definitely take longer, she couldn't wait So long.

"Lingyu's matter is buried so deep, we're afraid we won't be able to find anything, ma'am, the only way is to attack Lingyu, but now she..."

Grandma Wang didn't finish her sentence, but looked at her cautiously and hesitantly. Empress Sun couldn't help being stunned, and her anger faded a little: "If it wasn't for the third child, this palace would have been abolished by now. The palace is in limbo, and in order to show his attitude, he has broken away from the imperial family at all costs, if I disturb you again, it will be a bit of revenge."

Even she couldn't do it to this extent. After all, Qin Yunyi, no, Ling Yunyi no longer threatened them, and the Ling family also showed a neutral attitude and had no conflict with them.

"But ma'am, we can't arrest Concubine Xu for interrogation. The only person who can testify against Concubine Xu is Lingyu."

Seeing this, Wang Momo frowned and continued to persuade, Empress Sun also pondered, and said after a while: "Why don't you send someone a message to Yuntian, asking him to find a way to get in touch with Yunyi, if he is willing to hand over Ling Yu, we can promise to do something for him that won't harm our own interests. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. I am the queen after all, and Xu Qian is just an ordinary concubine. Even if his son is the prince, I still have to be under the jurisdiction of this palace, and killing her slowly is a refreshing thing."

"Yes."

Wang Momo bowed and was about to step back, but the queen suddenly stopped him: "Go, find a way to disclose to Qianyang Zhenggong that I have confirmed that Lingyu belongs to Concubine Xu without arousing suspicion." People, Xu Qian is using more than me this time, with the character of the emperor, he should not let her go easily."

"Yes."

After Wang Momo left, Empress Sun leaned back, closed her eyes and tried to calm down the anger in her heart. She had already suffered a loss before, and she had to be calm and calm when she did anything in the future.

At the same time, the study of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, so Lingyu really belongs to Concubine Xu?"

Qin Yunshen, who just came back from the palace, briefly talked about the fact that he went to the palace to seek evidence. Ye Tian and other counselors all frowned when they heard the words. At first they all thought that the rumors were malicious slander, but they didn't expect it to be true. Concubine Xu, who looks so weak and has no sense of presence, is actually such a ruthless character. Her scheme should have been seamless. If it hadn't been for the sudden intervention of the Wei family and Prince Qingping... It's a pity that she lost a queen and fifth prince. best chance.

"Well, find a way to kill Lingyu. Once Lingyu dies, there will be no proof of her death. No matter how ruthless the rumors spread, no one can really shake our foundation."

Qin Yunshen, who was sitting behind the desk, rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. Before that, he really didn't know that Lingyu was one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have watched the third child take him away so easily that day. , even if he took it away, he could still order someone to intercept it halfway, so as not to cause many subsequent incidents.

"This... is easier said than done?"

Although the General's Mansion is not as impenetrable as the Zhenguo General's Mansion and Prince Qingping's Mansion, it is not so easy to sneak in, not to mention finding Lingyu who was imprisoned there and killing her, the degree of difficulty is not ordinary.

"It's not easy but you have to do it."

Qin Yunshen rolled his eyes. Although the mother concubine was very sure that Lingyu would not confess her, he only believed that the dead would not betray her. Lingyu must die!

"Yes."

Seeing this, the counselors had no choice but to bow down, Qin Yun waved his hands deeply: "Mr. Ye stay, everyone else go down, I'm not in the mood to discuss serious matters for the time being."

Recently, the five princes and one party are biting them like mad dogs, and the father seems to have a lot of opinions. He stopped him for several days to hand in the signboard to meet the mother and concubine in the palace. Today, I finally saw it, but it was confirmed In addition to the authenticity of the rumors, there is one more tricky and necessary thing to do for no reason.

"Your Highness, there has been no news about Lingyu since she was brought back to the General's Mansion. Do you think it is possible that she is dead?"

When there were only the two of them in the study, Ye Tian tentatively asked, Ling Yunyi has been hiding very deeply these years, it is really difficult for him to grasp his scale.

"impossible."

Qin Yunshen denied his guess without even thinking about it. He looked up at him and said, "Have you ever thought about one thing, why are there such rumors? According to the concubine mother, Lingyu is his person, Including him and Lingyu himself, there are absolutely no more than five people who know about it. The other three are also confidantes who have followed the concubine mother for many years, and they have always been by the concubine mother's side. It is impossible for them to betray the concubine mother. What is the rumor? Come here? If it was just a coincidence, it would be too coincidental."

"Your Highness means that someone knows that Lingyu belongs to Concubine Xu, but she doesn't know who this person is, or that Lingyu has already confessed?"

After his eyes flickered several times, Ye Tian put forward the two most likely hypotheses, and at the same time, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

"If Lingyu has really confessed, then what we are facing now is not a rumor."

Qin Yunshen directly ruled out one of the guesses, but... the other guess is also unlikely. If there is really someone who knows that Lingyu is the concubine's mother and releases this matter, why not go to Qin directly Yuntian or Father Emperor?Instead, make it so complicated?You know, if there is no strong evidence, the rumors will only have some impact on their reputation at most, and it is impossible to shake their foundation substantially. What is the purpose of that person?Or, he has no proof?

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you, don't be unhappy."

"Say."

Not in the mood to play charades with him, Qin Yun gave him a cold look, Ye Tian bit the bullet and said: "Your Highness, it is said that the Nether Dark Guard is omnipotent, there is no news they can't find out, and there is no opponent they can't defeat, since Xu The imperial concubine is so sure that it was not her who leaked the secret, and we have ruled out the possibility that Lingyu has already confessed. Do you think it is possible that the dark guards found something, and Princess Qingping asked them to release it? As for the purpose, it is very simple. One is to vent our anger on Ling Yulin and Wei Xuan, and the other is to let us and the emperor and his descendants bite each other, so that none of us will have the time to disturb them."

The more Ye Tian talked, the more he felt that his guess was very reliable. Looking at the world today, who else has the ability to find out this kind of thing, except the Nether Dark Guard?

"Is it cool?"

That's exactly what he would do.

Qin Yunshen leaned back, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, and unexpectedly he was not angry. If he insisted on saying something, he would only be full of helplessness. If Liangliang really did this, then he would really find trouble for him, whether it was The father is still the fifth prince, but neither is easy to deal with.

"Your Highness, Princess Qingping..."

It's too dangerous, it's best to get rid of it as soon as possible!

Ye Tian didn't have a chance to finish the rest of the sentence, Qin Yunshen raised his hand to stop him: "I should have warned you not to make up his mind, send a message to that person, let him find a way to make sure, this matter is If it wasn't Liangliang's doing, it would be fine, I'm afraid it's not him, but some brother of this palace, now the emperor has promoted them all, we have to be more careful in the future."

His good father, the emperor, never thought of handing over the throne from the beginning to the end, right?He didn't believe that he could still bring the throne into the imperial mausoleum!

"Yes."

Ye Tian sighed heavily and had no choice but to agree. In his private heart, he really felt that Princess Qingping was too scary. If he was not eliminated, he would become their most difficult enemy sooner or later. However, the crown prince was as bewildered as a demon, but he simply acted As far as a man is concerned, he can also understand his mood. Who wouldn't like a Shuang'er like Princess Qingping who is top-notch in all aspects, regardless of family background, appearance, figure and personal ability?It's just that most people don't even have the qualifications to like him.
