Chapter 366: Growing Smart
The guards carried Ji Tong to the clinic first, and Jiang Wenjing and Shi An followed behind.
Hearing Shi An's question, Jiang Wenjing said in a calm voice: "It must be some Mobei people who stayed and took the opportunity to take revenge on me. Your Excellency, don't take it to heart."
Does this mean that there is no need to investigate?
Shi An's eyebrows were immediately overjoyed: "Then, what about the emperor?"
"I will report it myself."
With his guarantee, Shi An immediately seemed to have taken a tranquilizer, and his tone became calm.
...
"Committing violence in the street?"
The emperor raised his voice slightly: "Is anyone injured?"
The thousand households shook their heads: "No civilians were killed or injured, only the people who went out with Jiang Wenjing to call Ji Tong were trampled by the startled horses and were seriously injured."
The emperor nodded and said no more.
The captain did not wait for the emperor's order and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty?"
Logically, shouldn't such a heinous crime committed in the street be investigated thoroughly?
Why is Your Majesty so indifferent?
The emperor obviously did not realize what he wanted to ask, and hummed in confusion: "What else?"
The captain's mind was in a state of confusion. When he looked up, he happened to see Chao En making a gesture to him, and immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, nothing happened. I spoke too quickly."
The emperor looked at him with some displeasure, but perhaps because he was in a good mood today, he did not say anything, but just waved his hand.
The captain withdrew, but stayed outside the palace.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Chao En finally walked out of the palace.
"Thank you for your help, eunuch."
Chao En bowed to him: "You are too polite, Master Qian Hu."
The Qian Hu had been waiting here for more than just to thank him. The two walked into the dark together, and the Qian Hu put the thing in his hand into Chao En's hand: "Thank you for your help these days, Master Qian Hu. Please say a few good words in front of the emperor."
Chao En looked surprised and refused repeatedly: "What are you doing, Master Qian Hu? This is not allowed."
He refused, but his hand was not loosened.
The Qian Hu's smile became even more intense, and he pressed Chao En's hand without saying anything: "You are not polite, Master Qian Hu. There are still many days in the future when I need your care!"
...
The high palace walls were covered with weeds and tiles.
There was a dead silence in the palace. Concubine Duan sat on the ground with dishevelled hair and tattered clothes, and faint purple scars could be seen on her body.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were supposed to serve her turned a blind eye.
Xiao Siyuan stood outside the door, his face full of anger, his eyes red, and there seemed to be a faint flame hidden in his eyes.
He rushed over, untied his robe, put it on Concubine Duan, and hugged her tightly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
How could this be? !
He knew that his mother might not be living well, but he didn't expect that they would bully her to such an extent!
She was just demoted! At worst, she still had the prince by her side!
How dare they!
Seeing Xiao Siyuan coming, several palace maids and eunuchs knelt down in fear.
Xiao Siyuan's sinister eyes swept over them one by one.
Concubine Duan raised her hand, and Xiao Siyuan grasped it, but felt Concubine Duan shudder.
Xiao Siyuan realized something and lifted her sleeves. What he saw were all purple whip marks!
The arms that were originally as white as jade were now full of scars, both new and old.
It was shocking to look at.
Xiao Siyuan's breathing suddenly became heavy and rapid, his body tensed, and he was shaking with anger.
The kneeling palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but hold their breath.
Xiao Siyuan frowned, clenched his fists, and his knuckles stood out with obvious whiteness. Then, he picked up Concubine Duan by the waist and rushed to the Imperial Hospital.
While the imperial physician was treating Concubine Duan, Xiao Siyuan ran quickly into Yu's study.
At that time, the emperor was reviewing memorials and heard a commotion outside.
"What's the matter?"
Chao En took a few quick steps to open the palace door, and saw Xiao Siyuan rushing in angrily, with the eunuchs blocking him behind him. Xiao Siyuan
knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
The emperor frowned and waved.
After the eunuchs went out, Chao En closed the palace door and stood back beside the emperor.
"What a great prestige! You dare to barge into my study?!"
The emperor's voice was full of displeasure. He was about to continue speaking when he heard a sob.
The emperor was slightly startled.
Then, Xiao Siyuan raised his head, his handsome face full of tears.
The emperor was completely stunned.
There was a dead silence in the palace.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Xiao Siyuan's face was covered with tears, and he sobbed, "Father... please, please do something for me!"
Since his children became adults, the emperor had never seen anyone crying so hard. It was a bit new, so he didn't pursue the matter of him intruding into the study room without permission, but asked, "What exactly happened?"
"I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I wanted to go and see her today, but when I entered the courtyard, I saw my mother lying on the ground in tattered clothes, with whip marks all over her body. Those servants didn't care, and even laughed and made fun of her!"
The more Xiao Siyuan spoke, the more angry his tone became: "Father! My mother is your concubine after all, not to mention that you only took her position and didn't banish her to the cold palace. How dare they do this!"
"This is clearly showing that you don't take me seriously!"
The emperor looked at him with a gloomy face.
He has grown his brain.
Without knowing why he punished Concubine Duan, he did not mention the so-called love, but focused on blaspheming the majesty of heaven. In this way, even if he didn't like Concubine Duan, he would punish those evil servants.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt somewhat relieved.
"Where is Concubine Duan now?"
"I sent my mother to the Imperial Hospital, and the Imperial Physician is treating her."
The emperor nodded and stood up: "Let's go and take a look."
Xiao Siyuan followed him closely.
...
"Treasure from the previous dynasty?" Xiao Chuji was making poison, and was a little surprised when he heard it. A drop of poison fell to the ground, making a sound instantly.
The person who reported it couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looking at the ground that was corroded by the poison for almost half the size of his palm, he began to stutter when he spoke: "Exactly, exactly, I have heard that... Song Shiwei does have clues about the treasure from the previous dynasty."
"It is said that whoever gets this treasure will be rich enough to rival a country!"
Xiao Chuji looked thoughtful.
The subordinate waited patiently by the side. After a long time, he heard Xiao Chuji say, "No wonder, no wonder Jiang Zhaorong was willing to sever ties with several other people to protect this adopted daughter, so that's why."
"If that's the case, then we really can't let her die."
"What's the situation in the palace?"
The subordinate replied, "The emperor released her from the sky prison and continued to lock her up in the palace. Every day, someone would take her to Cining Palace."
Xiao Chuji's eyes flashed with surprise, "She is quite capable to be able to get the emperor to release her from the sky prison herself."
"What did the emperor let her do in Cining Palace?"
The subordinate hesitated and said, "It seems that he is making calming incense."
