Chapter 7 Will Concubine Chen die? !

This was his plan as well.

Use Master Yunxing as bait to lure out the big fish, Concubine Xian.

Tang Xing couldn't help but nod and praise: "Your Highness is really too smart!"

Shangguan Jue shook his head, "It's not me who is smart, it's my fifth sister."

If his fifth sister had not reminded him of this matter, he would probably still be kept in the dark by Xiao Yun and die from the bowls of poison she brought him.

He had little royal connection, and his relationship with his brothers and sisters was not close, and they seldom saw each other.

But he didn't expect that there was still someone who treated him sincerely.

"Tang Xing, did the Queen Mother send a box of Dongzhu last time?"

"Yes, Your Highness. This oriental pearl is very precious. Even the Queen only has one box of it."

Shangguan Jue nodded and ordered, "Send it to Concubine Chen tomorrow and tell her it's for the Fifth Princess."

Tang Xing opened his mouth, his face full of shock.

ah?!

Shangguan Jue turned around and asked, "Do you have any opinion?"

Tang Xing immediately shook his head, "I dare not."

But he was still very confused. When did his Highness like the Fifth Princess so much?

I haven't seen them talk to each other?

Linqing Palace.

As Concubine Xian listened to the report from her maid Hongyu, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Hasn't Master Yunxing been traveling outside? Why did he suddenly come to the capital?"

"What did Xiao Yun say? Does the eldest prince suspect her now?"

Hongyu bowed her head, "Xiao Yun said that the eldest prince is now in love with her and obeys her in everything without any doubt."

Concubine Xian let out a long sigh and nodded, "That's fine."

"On the day Master Yunxing came to the capital, we sent our people to kill him. The eldest prince's illness must not be cured, otherwise how can my third prince ascend the throne!"

Hongyu nodded, "Your Majesty is right."

"Where is the emperor? Who did he visit tonight?"

Hongyu shook her head, "The emperor didn't go anywhere today."

Concubine Xian pursed her lips and said, "This is normal. The emperor doesn't come to the harem often."

Hongyu: “But…”

"But what? Just say it if you have something to say."

Concubine Xian's voice revealed a hint of impatience.

Hongyu: "But the emperor went to the Chenfei Palace to eat again tonight, and it has been three days in a row."

"And even if Concubine Rou went to invite the emperor in person, the emperor would not go to her place, but would stay in Concubine Chen's palace. This has never happened before."

Concubine Xian frowned, "Concubine Chen is usually very quiet, but I didn't expect that she is such a scheming person."

"My Queen, should we…"

Hongyu gestured at her neck with her hand.

Concubine Xian smiled softly and opened her thin lips.

"Of course."

The next day, Shangguan Sui slowly raised his eyelids.

I found myself in Yu's study again.

She pursed her lips.

[I don’t know why my dad always brings me to his study. It’s acceptable once or twice, but this is the third time!]

[Wuwuwu, I want to sleep in my beautiful mother's arms! 】

[I don’t understand. I’m just a three-year-old kid now. I have a sore throat and can’t speak. Why did my dad bring me here?]

Shangguan Lin, who was reviewing memorials at the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He handed the cakes sent from the kitchen today to Suishun.

He coaxed, "Are you hungry, Sui Sui? Have some cakes."

Shangguan Sui's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he picked up one and started to eat it.

[Delicious, delicious! The cakes sent to my father by the kitchen are ten thousand times more delicious than those sent to my mother's palace! ]

[Hehe, if there are delicious pastries, then it seems like it would be nice to come to Yu's study~]

Shangguan Lin's mouth curled up when he heard this.

His little daughter is indeed a foodie.

It was worth it that he specifically instructed the kitchen to send the most delicious pastries in different ways every day.

Shangguan Lin continued to review the memorials, and when he saw a name, his brows wrinkled slightly.

"Lou Changqing, murder in the wine shop..."

When Shangguan Sui heard the name, his hand holding the pastry suddenly stopped.

Building evergreen?

Isn’t that mother’s younger brother, her uncle?

It seems that the plot is still developing according to the original book.

Shangguan Sui immediately became anxious.

But her throat wasn't healed yet, so she could only hum and complain madly in her heart.

"Ababa Aba——"

[Daddy! My uncle is innocent! He didn’t kill anyone!]

[It was Lu Yuan, the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who killed him. He deliberately framed my uncle! ]

[Lü Yuan and his uncle were about the same age and they served in the army together. However, his uncle had made great achievements in the war and his abilities far exceeded his. Lü Yuan had always been jealous of his uncle and that’s why he looked for an opportunity to frame him! ]

[The man was killed by Lu Yuan, but Jingzhao Prefecture was afraid of the power of Zhenbei Hou, so they followed Lu Yuan and pushed the blame onto my uncle! ]

[Under pressure from the Marquis of Zhenbei, Jingzhao Prefecture quickly closed the case and my uncle was sentenced to death]

[After my uncle died, my grandfather became depressed and my mother was even more upset. Soon, they both passed away...]

Shangguan Lin felt nervous when he heard this.

The Concubine will die?!

No, you can't do that.

This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Shangguan Lin gently patted Shangguan Sui, who was still mumbling excitedly.

He said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Sui Sui. Father believes in Lou Changqing."

Then he turned around and ordered in a sharp voice: "Drive, I want to go to Jingzhao Prefecture in person!"

Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Lou Changqing, do you plead guilty?"

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture leaned lazily in his chair and asked casually.

In the lobby, a man in white was kneeling in the middle, his upper body was tied tightly with hemp ropes, but his back was still straight.

There was no trace of surprise on Lou Changqing's cold and handsome face.

"I deny it. I didn't kill anyone."

The prefect said: "There is a witness. What else can you say? It is clear that you killed Xing Shao!"

Meng Tian on the side also hurriedly bowed.

"Yes, sir, I was right there at the time, I saw it all! It was Lou Changqing who killed Xing Shao!"

The floor manager Qing said with disgust: "This Meng Tian is Lu Yuan's man, and he just says whatever Lu Yuan tells him to say."

Lu Yuan, dressed in brocade clothes, stood lazily beside him with a smug smile on his face.

So what if Lou Changqing has great martial arts skills?

In front of the Lu family, he is just an ant.

He can trample to death if he wants!

Upon hearing this, the prefect scratched his ears and spoke in a disrespectful tone.

"The criminal Lou Changqing refuses to plead guilty, but the evidence is conclusive, so I hereby sentence him -"

Lou Changqing became excited instantly and roared out all his dissatisfaction.

"Just beat me to death! Even if you beat me to death, I won't admit it! I won't give in!"

"Lü Yuan relied on his father being the Marquis of Zhenbei to bully the people in the capital. Every month, civilians die at his hands, one after another. Have you, as the official of the capital, ever taken care of it? Have you?!"
