Chapter 332 The concubine pleads for mercy
  Ning Hou said slowly: "Your Majesty, there are rumors from the people outside that the Queen sent an assassin to kill King Ning. When the people heard the news that King Ning was dead, they were all angry.

They entangled themselves in the Duke's Mansion of Qi State and wanted to arrest the Queen and take her to prison for questioning and to avenge King Ning. Of course the Queen refused, so she sent her guards to suppress the people. During the conflict, she accidentally killed a citizen, which angered all the people.
  Now the people are gathering more and more, and they want to avenge the dead people. The queen is young and energetic, and she even takes the military talisman of Duke Qi to mobilize the army and prepare to suppress the people.
  Now there is a commotion in front of the Duke of Qi's mansion. The people are fighting with the guards. Many people are injured. The people also say that you connived at the queen to kill King Ning.

It is said that the late emperor entrusted Prince Ning to your care, but you asked the queen to kill him. However, I sent people to Prince Ning's Mansion to check and found that Prince Ning was still unconscious and not dead. "

In fact, what the people said was even worse. They said that the emperor ordered the queen to kill King Ning in order to eradicate King Ning.

Everyone scolded the emperor for repaying kindness with hatred and feeling ashamed of the late emperor. Some of them were even bolder and even said that the emperor had killed the late emperor and usurped the late emperor's throne.

But Ning Hou did not dare to say these words.

However, the emperor could guess that he was the king of a country and naturally saw many things very clearly.

When the emperor heard this, his face was filled with anger. He slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "This queen is so ignorant!

She doesn't know how to prioritize things, and she doesn't know how to control her temper. She is such a dignified queen, but she is so brainless that she dares to cause such a big thing.

Eunuch Jiang, why don't you send someone to the Duke of Qi's mansion to bring the queen to me? I want to teach this queen a lesson today. "

Now, I am afraid that the people think it was him who ordered the queen to kill Chu Lixuan!

After Eunuch Jiang responded, he hurriedly walked out.

Ning Hou took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. When I learned the news, I had already sent people to deal with it. I hope this crisis can be resolved as soon as possible."

"Remember, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately or hurt any more civilians, otherwise this matter will become even bigger." The emperor said solemnly.

His face was full of inscrutable expressions, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the people sent by the minister have gone to appease the people. The queen is inevitably impulsive. Moreover, she may have fallen into someone else's trap this time." Ninghou said.

"Why don't I know? How can ordinary people have the courage to go against the royal family? Someone must be planning and instigating this matter behind the scenes. However, if the queen is not so stupid, he will not be fooled by others. "

The emperor hates the way that iron cannot become steel.

"Your Majesty, the people behind this must be Prince Ning. I didn't expect that Prince Ning would be so capable when he was already lying on the bed.
  He is obviously not dead, but he is claiming to be dead. He kidnaps public opinion, uses people, and incites people in this way. He really deserves death.

Ninghou narrowed his eyes. Of course he wanted Ning Rourou to become the queen. Listening to the emperor scolding the queen for being stupid and dissatisfied with the queen, Ninghou felt very happy now.

It would of course be best if Chu Lixuan could be killed first and then Ning Rourou could be helped to take the back seat.

The emperor nodded, "But now that public opinion has been controlled by his people, this matter is becoming more and more difficult. I have to deal with it well."

"This shows that Prince Ning has many helpers behind him. If these hidden dangers are not eliminated for one day, there will be endless troubles."

Ning Hou continued to speak.

The emperor said with a gloomy face, "I originally thought that if he just drags him to death, this matter will be over, and I will be able to solve a major problem in my heart.
  Unexpectedly, things turned out like this. The hatred of the common people has been incited, and it is not easy to calm it down. Ning Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?"

"Today, only the news that Prince Ning is still alive can be spread out to calm the anger of the people. Your Majesty, please rest assured that the people sent by me will release the news and temporarily calm the public's anger." Ning Hou said.

"What happens after that?" the emperor asked.

"We pretended to send the imperial doctor to work with Princess Ning to save King Ning, and let the people know how much effort the emperor put into saving King Ning. Only in this way can we calm the anger of the people. In the end, of course he still has to die, okay? It’s easy to seize this opportunity to get rid of him, your Majesty must not waste it.”

Ning Hou said viciously.

"Even if the public anger is calmed, the queen will be ruined because of this incident. She will become the person who killed Prince Ning in the hearts of the people. I am afraid no one will accept her to continue to be the queen."

"Does the emperor want the queen to continue to be the mother of this country?" Ning Hou asked.

In fact, he had already guessed the emperor's thoughts, but he just pretended not to know.

Seeing Ning Hou ask this, the emperor did not hide it from him, "I had intended to let Rourou be the queen, but now it is really difficult for the queen to take on the big responsibility. After this matter is over, I decided to abolish the queen. It is only the responsibility of the queen and the prince." Choice, I am still young, I will postpone this matter for now and talk about it later."

"Yes, the Queen does act without consideration." Ning Hou said.

At this time, Eunuch Jiang came in again, "Your Majesty, several ministers sent memorials to the palace overnight, saying that they wanted to join the Queen. They said that the Queen killed Prince Ning, which had aroused public outrage. They asked the Emperor to find the Queen to question the crime. He gave the people an explanation."

"Bring the book here." The emperor raised his eyelids.

Eunuch Jiang walked in and handed over a dozen thick books.

The emperor picked up these papers and glanced at them casually, his face became darker and darker, "These people are so brave. They dare to say that I condone the queen, and ask me to question the queen's crime and give Chu Lixuan justice."

Marquis Ning said: "Your Majesty, calm down. Haven't you always wanted to get the list of Prince Ning's connections? Now these people have jumped out. Look at which ministers have written the notes. Write them down one by one. You can settle accounts with them later. .”

Most of these ministers were former ministers of the late emperor during his reign, and they were all his confidants.

Unexpectedly, as soon as something happened to Chu Lixuan, these people would jump out.

It seemed that once Chu Lixuan died, it was time to eradicate these people.

……

At this time, Eunuch Jiang came to report again, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su is here. She was carried in a sedan chair."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sedan carrying Concubine Su had already entered the emperor's bedroom.

Seeing this, Marquis Ning retreated first.

As soon as the emperor raised his head, he saw Concubine Su leaning on the sedan. He hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Concubine, your illness is not cured yet, how can you go out and run around? If you want to see your son, let me My son can just go over and see you."

"Emperor, I have been restless recently. I don't want to drink tea or eat. I always feel that something is happening. Just now, I heard someone said that something happened in Prince Ning's Mansion and Duke Qi's Mansion. Li Xuan and the Queen have always been at odds with each other. What happened to them? What happened?" Su Taifei asked with red eyes.

When the emperor saw this, he quickly stepped forward and held Su Tai Fei's hand, "Mother Concubine has been restless recently? Come here, please bring a bowl of soothing tea to Su Tai Fei."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, Eunuch Jiang withdrew.

After a while, he ordered the eunuch to bring over a cup of soothing tea.
