Upon hearing this, Lord Du glanced at Yang Wen.
Yang Wen immediately understood that Qi An couldn't be sleeping so soundly for no reason, so he turned and walked out.
Soon, Yang Wen came back after investigating Qi An's cell.
"Your Majesty, my lord, Qi An has been drugged."
He noticed the white powder when he went to investigate the cell.
[I have to say this guy is quite nice. He didn't attack Qi An.]
[However, this murderer must be quite resentful. He must have such a deep hatred and resentment that he doesn't want him to live even for one more day.]
The emperor stood up and said, "Report to me as soon as you find the murderer."
Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Qi An quickly said, "Your Majesty, I have lived here for some time, and now I want to leave."
It’s not safe here anyway, so we might as well go out.
The emperor thought it was insignificant and was about to agree. At this time, Yu Yiluo's voice was heard.
Qi An is quite useful. The tyrant has dismissed him from office, but he will be reinstated sooner or later.
emperor:"……"
He’s just a minister. Could it be that he is still short of another minister?
This is what I thought in my heart, but I still had to believe Luoer's words.
Adhering to the principle of leaving a way out for others, the emperor agreed to Qi'an's request and sent people to protect Qi'an.
Since it wasn't Prince Yueqing who did it, would Prince Yueqing take action if he let Qi'an, the bait, leave the Dali Temple?
Qi An didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He was so moved when he heard the emperor ask someone to protect him that he almost cried.
After Qi An left, the emperor asked Lord Du to release Shen Yu.
Lord Du didn't dare to ask any more questions and just did as he was told.
…
Shen Yu returned to Yueqing Palace without saying a word.
After getting off the carriage, I saw Prince Yueqing waiting at the door.
Seeing Shen Yu like this, King Yueqing raised his eyebrows and stepped forward.
"Why, are you unhappy to see your parents?"
Shen Yu didn't know where he got the courage from, so he smashed the food box in his hand directly on King Yueqing.
"Your Highness is really calculating. He put poison in the food box?"
King Yueqing's expression changed. How could Shen Yu know?
Logically, the poison shouldn't take effect so quickly.
He planned to use Shen Yu to get rid of Shen Huai, and then kill Shen Yu when the time comes.
But how could Shen Yu know that the food was poisonous now?
Outside was not a suitable place to talk. King Yueqing stared at Shen Yu coldly and asked his subordinates to take Shen Yu to his study.
The subordinate unceremoniously carried Shen Yu and followed Prince Yueqing to the study, and threw Shen Yu to the ground as soon as he entered the door.
"What happened in Dali Temple?"
Prince Yueqing sat on the chair and looked down at Shen Yu who had fallen to the ground.
"As the prince wishes, my parents are dead." Shen Yu slowly raised his body, stood up and repeated, "My parents are dead."
She didn't understand it before, but when the people from Dali Temple said that her food was poisoned, she understood everything. Her father must have had something going on with Prince Yueqing, otherwise Prince Yueqing would not have used her to kill people to silence them.
The funny thing is that someone got there before her.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yueqing was surprised and relieved at the same time.
He didn't care who killed Chen Huai. After all, Chen Huai was dead and his threat was gone.
Just when Prince Yueqing was about to deal with Shen Yu, he heard someone report that Madam Yao had arrived.
Shen Yu knew that Prince Yueqing really wanted to kill her this time because she was no longer useful.
She was originally disheartened, but when she heard this name, she felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Because of the reaction of the Queen of Yueqing when she heard about this person, she realized that this person was of great importance.
Prince Yueqing stood up, without taking care of Shen Yu.
"Bring my mother-in-law to the main hall. I will go there now."
The person who came to report hesitantly said, "But Madam Yao will be in the study soon."
As he was speaking, he saw a lady in luxurious clothes and a maid walking to the door.
"Mother-in-law, why didn't you tell me you were coming so I could go out to greet you?"
Prince Yueqing put on a smile and walked up to Madam Yao.
Madam Yao had a gentle smile on her face. "The prince just returned to the capital not long ago, and I thought of coming to visit him."
Mrs. Yao could not find any fault with her son-in-law.
Not only did he not remarry for several years after his daughter's death, he was also very devoted to the Yao family.
"That's my fault. I should have come to see you, but I just arrived in the capital and was too busy."
Shen Yu secretly looked at Madam Yao. It seemed that Madam Yao liked Prince Yueqing from the bottom of her heart, and Prince Yueqing also respected Madam Yao very much.
So could she ask Madam Yao to save her?
"It's okay," Madam Yao asked the maid to hand the food box to Prince Yueqing, "Xuan'er said before she died that the prince liked to eat osmanthus cake. I made some and sent it to you."
Prince Yueqing took the food box with a sad look on his face.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of Xuan'er."
Madam Yao sighed and shook her head, "Your Highness, there's no need to blame yourself. It's Xuan'er who is unlucky."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Shen Yu who was standing beside her.
"Is this girl the prince's concubine?"
Prince Yueqing was nervous and was about to explain, but he heard Madam Yao say:
"Your Highness has been alone these years, so it's good for him to have a lovely woman by his side. If Xuan'er knew about this, she would probably hope that Your Highness would live a better life."
Is Shen Yu also a lovely person?
Prince Yueqing felt sick in his heart, but smiled and said, "This is a girl sent by someone else."
"Your Majesty, our Yao family truly hopes that you can find your own happiness."
The daughter is gone, but the living have to continue living.
They were happy that Prince Yueqing loved his daughter so deeply, but others would inevitably think behind her back that the Yao family was overbearing and was not allowing the prince to marry.
"Okay, the stuff has been delivered, Your Highness, please get busy!"
