Book with Emperor

Chapter 228 Chaos in the Sleeping Hall
Although Daxi established the crown prince early, Ning Zhao was only in his 30s and in his prime, so no one thought that the crown prince would ascend the throne in a short time.But now that Ning Zhao's injuries are repeated, so serious that he has been out of court for three days, everyone will inevitably think about the crown prince.

However, Qin Guanyue, as the emperor's teacher, acts as an agent of the government, and Ning Zhao is likely to entrust all the arrangements for the afterlife to her.

As the prince, Ning Chen was naturally not in a hurry, because he was already convinced that Qin Guanyue was on his side.The only ones who were really panicked were those on King Ke's side.

However, in the side hall, what Manager Wang told Qin Guanyue was another matter.

"Let me write a letter to Fuyun Mountain... Is this Mr. Wang's own initiative, or is it His Majesty's order before he fell into a coma?" Qin Guanyue asked.

Director Wang sneered, "Your Majesty didn't give orders, but His Majesty has been writing letters to Fuyun Mountain all these years, but Mr. Gong never replied to one letter, and His Majesty never forced it. Sad and troubled, so that he was unconscious, the imperial doctor said that he could ask someone close to him to try to call His Majesty, maybe..."

"A close person?"

Qin Guanyue asked casually, "There are two concubines of His Majesty outside, two biological princes, isn't it okay?"

Manager Wang said with a mournful face, "Master, aren't you pretending to be confused by pretending to understand? Those few people outside are not as close as the one on Fuyun Mountain? It's not like you don't know."

Qin Guanyue didn't speak, turned around and walked to the window of the side hall, and she could see the imperial garden behind her in her blurred vision.

Director Wang paused, took out something from his sleeve, and brought it in front of her, "Your Majesty orders our family to return it to its original owner."

Qin Guanyue glanced at it, she gave it to Lin Hong for safekeeping, and then asked Xie Heng to reverse the case for herself. The white jade ring used to face the saint was also given to her by Gong Yue after she left Qin Tianjian.

"There are three Longquan jade rings, and each has an engraved inscription on the inside, which is the name of Your Majesty, Mr. Gong, and... the Qing King. Your Majesty cherishes this jade ring very much, but gave it to Mr. Gong at the Emperor's Grand Ceremony. Give it to Mr. Gong."

Manager Wang offered the jade ring with both hands, "But Mr. Gong's jade ring is not willing to give it to His Majesty, but Mr. Gong gave it to you, the emperor."

That day Xie Heng brought the jade ring into the palace for an audience. Director Wang personally watched how Ning Zhao got up from the hospital bed, and how he eagerly asked about the origin of the Longquan jade ring.

When Xie Heng said that the jade ring was entrusted by Qin Guanyue, Ning Zhao was silent for a long time before saying to Mr. Wang beside him——

[He not only gave Qin Guanyue his name, but also gave her all the friendship he had back then. If I kill Qin Guanyue, he will never forgive me in this life. ]
He didn't call himself Zhen, he just talked about me, but Director Wang was used to it, he just listened quietly, and then ordered Qin Guanyue's death penalty to be withdrawn.

Director Wang gave a deep bow to the woman in front of him, "Your Majesty is in a high position, so it is inevitable that you will be suspicious, but in the face of Mr. Gong, Your Majesty has treated you extremely leniently. Besides, Mr. Gong has treated you well, please... ...to turn around from it."

Qin Guanyue took the jade ring with a calm expression, "Master, he is in poor health and cannot leave Fuyun Mountain, which is why His Majesty never insisted."

"If you really can't come, you can write a letter!"

"I try my best."

"Then I would like to thank the emperor! If His Majesty knows, he will definitely thank the emperor!"

Qin Guanyue turned to look at him, "Director Wang is as loyal to His Majesty as ever."

Manager Wang laughed, "Our family has been with His Majesty since we were in the palace. To put it bluntly, it can be regarded as watching His Majesty grow up. Naturally, our whole heart is only for His Majesty."

"Then you must also know about the fact that His Majesty and my master went south that year?"

"..."

Manager Wang's smile faltered slightly, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask about this?"

"It's nothing, just talking about my master and his old man, I remembered that I was adopted by my master and His Majesty back then. At that time, New Moon City was hit by a plague, and the whole city was wiped out. I was the only one left, and I happened to meet Master and Your Majesty are really a coincidence."

The cold wind outside the window blew away the last flowers in the garden. The petals were rolled up and scattered in the soil, and they were trampled into mud by the passing palace people in an instant, and only one piece was left in Qin Guanyue's palm on the window sill. .

Director Wang felt relieved, and smiled, "It's really a coincidence. At that time, the Cangzhou Dashui, Your Majesty was just sent by the late Emperor to relieve the disaster. I thought that I happened to meet you, the emperor's teacher, on the way there. It is really fate."

Qin Guanyue clenched the petal in her palm and said lightly, "Yes, it's really fate."

In the sleeping hall, King Ke saw that no one had come out of the door of the side hall, and his heart began to lift.

Concubine Yun saw her son's nervousness, and quickly comforted him softly, "It's okay, Si'er, your father has always loved you the most."

Before King Ke could speak, someone beside him smiled and opened his mouth.

"Chen'er, your father's body is not in good condition this time. Although the emperor is acting as an agent of the government and the phoenix is ​​supporting him, as a prince, you still have to shoulder your due responsibilities. Don't slack off, you know?"

Concubine Liang spoke to the crown prince, but she looked at Concubine Yun's mother and son with a rather proud expression.

Concubine Yun endured and endured, pretending she didn't hear those words.

However, Concubine Liang didn't want to stop here. She laughed and asked, "I heard that the emperor was wrongly imprisoned earlier, and a Lord Zhou accused the prince of colluding with the emperor and treason before His Majesty. I don't know if King Ke knows This matter?"

Concubine Yun herself could bear it, but she was unwilling to bear it in the slightest when it came to her son, "Concubine Liang, what do you say? Whether Mr. Zhou made a false accusation or a false accusation, what does it have to do with King Ke?"

"What's the relationship?" Concubine Liang was also angry, "Who doesn't know that Zhou Mian and King Ke have always been close, so what can he do with false accusations in front of the emperor?"

Previously, the emperor's teacher was imprisoned, Ke Wang's party fell into trouble, and the prince almost lost his life. Concubine Liang was in fear day and night in the harem, washing her face with tears. She had a long-standing grudge. Now that she has the opportunity, she naturally cannot see this concubine Yun's arrogance.

"Concubine Yun, let me tell you, now that the emperor's master has cleared up his grievances and returned, His Majesty even entrusted Lou Binghe's life to her, let alone you mother and son!"

When the word "dishi" was mentioned, Concubine Yun's slender body trembled slightly, "The emperor is a subject after all, and King Ke is a prince. Without evidence, no one can touch my son..."

Concubine Liang smiled contemptuously, "Didn't you hear His Majesty repeating whose name you came in just now?"

"Shut up!"

Concubine Yun slightly opened her peach blossom eyes, and argued, "Your Majesty won't like her!"

Before the words were finished, Director Wang's panicked and angry voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"My lady, be careful!"

Several people in the hall were startled, and turned their heads quickly, only to see that Qin Guanyue and Director Wang had returned from the side hall at some point, and were looking at themselves at the door.

Concubine Yun's expression changed immediately, and she quickly looked at Concubine Liang, but seeing her calm expression, she immediately realized that she had provoked her on purpose, and couldn't help feeling remorse in her heart.

"Master Emperor... I am just an ignorant woman and child, and I made a slip of the tongue for a while, please don't argue with me..."

Concubine Yun has been soft-tempered for half her life, even though she was jealous of the much younger woman in front of her at this moment, she did not dare to offend her, because she held the power of life and death for everyone in Daxi.

Ever since Qin Guanyue came back, the grievance in King Ke's heart has been increasing day by day. At this moment, when he saw his mother and concubine being submissive to the woman in front of him, he finally broke out.

"My concubine mother is in the position of concubine, but she just said a few gossips, it's not worthy of the emperor's anger!" He suppressed his anger and looked at the people outside the door.

Qin Guanyue ignored him, but slowly walked up to Concubine Yun, looking indifferently at her pair of watery eyes.

"Your Majesty once said that His Majesty brought Your Majesty into the palace because of these eyes, but does Your Majesty know that these eyes resemble an old person His Majesty knows?"

"...I don't know."

Concubine Yun hurriedly lowered her head, but she remembered that the emperor's teacher had nothing like her own eyes.

"That person's eyes are like peach blossoms, but there is a hidden sharpness. Although the empress is similar in appearance, there are only three points."

Qin Guanyue met her frightened gaze with lowered eyes, and said slowly, "Your Majesty should be tired of watching it for so many years."

Concubine Yun's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down like beads of broken thread.

"Emperor Master...Master Emperor, I just made a slip of the tongue..."

She reached out to grab Qin Guanyue's clothes, and Lihua pleaded with rain, "Thousands of mistakes are my fault alone, don't implicate King Ke, Zhou Mian was ordered by others that day, and has nothing to do with King Ke, the emperor's teacher Mo You have to listen to Concubine Liang's nonsense..."

"Concubine Yun, don't worry, it's the duty of officials to participate in the performance, how can I vent my anger on others?"

Seeing the woman kneeling in front of her, Qin Guanyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said leisurely, "But just now, I was assassinated on the way into the palace, and almost died. The assassin seems to have something to do with King Ke..."

Concubine Yun's face changed drastically, and she looked up at her, "Master Emperor! Master Emperor, you can't—"

King Ke also changed color, and said angrily, "You spout blood! When did this king send someone to assassinate you!"

"There is a messenger to testify, and the rest will be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple."

Qin Guanyue rubbed the center of her brows impatiently, then slowly turned and walked out of the bedroom.

"Come here, take King Ke to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
