Chapter 63 Arrange a meeting
"I am the emperor! How can I allow others to have a say in the people I want to kill!"
Emperor Qingling was extremely emotional. He raised his hand to grab the tea set at hand and threw it to the ground.
Wei Xin did not move, allowing the tea and teacup fragments to splash on him.
The sharp fragments scratched his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
He said nothing, and even because he ran too fast just now, blood began to seep out of his shoulder, and the silver armor became shocking.
Emperor Qingling glanced at him and said solemnly, "How is your injury?"
Wei Xin lowered his eyes and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
Emperor Qingling looked away, his face cold and frowned, "Continue to investigate Foshan Temple. I don't believe that he can clean up everything!"
"Yes, Your Majesty... there is one more thing..."
Emperor Qingling glanced at him, "Tell me!"
Wei Xin nodded, his voice became a little quieter, "When I went to Foshan Temple to investigate, I ran into the Prime Minister going to burn incense. After the Prime Minister left, his servants have been sneaking around outside Foshan Temple, asking everyone about Prince Heng. I guess the Prime Minister is also investigating." Emperor
Qingling waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, he probably feels sorry for Concubine Shu."
Wei Xin raised his eyes unexpectedly.
Doesn't the emperor hate the connection between the former dynasty and the harem the most? The prime minister openly helps Concubine Shu Gui. Before this, the emperor was already furious. Could it be that the emperor really fell in love with Concubine Shu Gui? He
tolerates her and the prime minister's residence like this.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Emperor Qingling frowned: "What's the
matter?" Wei Xin nodded: "Nothing, I will check it out now."
Emperor Qingling hummed sullenly, and then said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the prime minister's residence. If he finds out anything, tell me immediately. Also, notify the prime minister and his wife to go to the palace and meet Concubine Shu Gui at Guangling Palace."
"Yes, I will do it now."
After Wei Xin withdrew, he stopped Wei Weiran outside the study.
"There shouldn't be any special situation with Concubine Shu Gui, right? Why do I see that the emperor is in a bad mood today?" He frowned.
Wei Weiran sighed, looked into the distance and said, "Don't mention it. This is the fifth set of tea cups that the emperor has broken. The queen just said something bad and the emperor heard it. Now the emperor is upset. From now on, all matters related to Concubine Shu Gui will be mentioned first. I think Concubine Shu Gui's blessing has come." Emperors
have been passionate since ancient times, and their Emperor Qingling is no exception.
When Concubine Shu Gui was gentle in nature, the emperor just doted on her. Now that Concubine Shu Gui is unwilling to pay attention to the emperor, given the emperor's temperament, I am afraid that the fire of love will be rekindled and it will be out of control.
There is a sentence in the folk story book that is particularly suitable for now.
What you can't get will always be agitated.
Wei Xin said calmly: "I thought something happened to Concubine Shu Gui."
Wei Weiran waved his hands: "What could happen to Concubine Shu Gui? You go and ask the Prime Minister first. I will inform Concubine Shu Gui and let her prepare well. Now it's not time to visit relatives yet, but the Emperor has agreed to let the Queen meet his family. This is the supreme honor. The Prime Minister's Mansion will be prosperous again."
Wei Xin smiled and said nothing. He left Yu's study.
Inside, the voice of Emperor Qingling came out: "Wei Weiran, go to the cold palace and take Ying'an to Concubine Shu Gui to see, and send her back in the evening."
After Wei Weiran responded, he went directly to the cold palace.
Outside the cold palace, Yu Linjun surrounded it in three layers.
Wei Weiran's heart shuddered when he arrived.
No wonder Concubine Shu Gui was so disappointed. The emperor was so cautious, but he was afraid that he might hurt Concubine Shu Gui's heart.
Although it was for the protection of the princess, there was really no need to make such a fuss.
If he didn't know the emperor's intentions, he would probably guess the emperor's intentions like the harem.
After he went in, there was only a slightly fat eunuch dozing off outside the main hall where Nanny Xiang and the princess lived.
He frowned: "Where is Nanny Xiang?"
The little prodigal was awakened by this voice. When he saw Wei Weiran, he was so scared that he immediately stood up, stepped forward and nodded: "Eunuch Wei, what brings you here!"
He raised his voice deliberately and glanced at the backyard.
At this time, "Nanny Xiang", who had just crawled in from the dog hole, heard this voice and her heart jumped into her throat.
[Why is Eunuch Wei here again! Quick! Go over there!]
She couldn't let Eunuch Wei find out what she did. If he complained to her scumbag father, her fun would be over.
She had just figured out how to avoid all eyes and leave the palace after going out of the dog hole, but she was discovered now. That would be such a shame!
"Madame Xiang" immediately carried Ying'an out of the backyard. When she saw Eunuch Wei, Ying'an retracted her puppetry and was carried on Madam Xiang's back, chewing her hands.
"Eunuch Wei, why are you here again?"
Ying'an couldn't help but curl her lips on Madam Xiang's back.
She really liked Madam Xiang more and more now. She
was outspoken and kind-hearted, but the key was that her way of thinking was too unique, and she thought the same as her in some aspects.
Wei Weiran coughed dryly, glanced at the princess on Nanny Xiang's back, and frowned: "Nanny Xiang, you are an old lady in the palace, and you actually took the princess to such a dirty place in the backyard. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be angry with you."
Nanny Xiang said quickly: "The scenery in the backyard is beautiful, and the princess is very happy every time she goes there. The princess just asked me to wear this sling. When I just carried the princess on my back, she giggled. In order to make the princess forget about the queen, I..."
She was also wondering how this sling appeared in the cold palace, but the princess kept holding on to it, so she didn't investigate the root cause.
Maybe Nanny Chen was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to carry the princess in the cold palace alone, so she stuffed the sling into her bag so that she could carry the princess to do things.
Her words made Wei Weiran silent.
The princess was alone in the cold palace, so she couldn't help but miss her mother. Nanny Xiang was trying to make the princess happy, so her intention was natural.
"Give me the princess. The emperor has ordered the prime minister and his wife to reunite in the palace today. The emperor asked me to take the princess away. I will send her back to you in the evening."
Nanny Xiang was happy that she was finally going to leave the cold palace, but Wei Weiran's last words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down her head.
The light in her eyes went out.
"Okay."
Life in the cold palace is hard, and it would be good for the princess to go out and live a good life.
It doesn't matter where she lives.
Wei Weiran took Ying'an off Nanny Xiang's back and carried her away.
After he left, Ling'er opened the door, folded her arms and sneered at the door: "Why are you two still here when the princess is out? Humph, you are really flattering the horse's butt. If the emperor really cared about Shuguifei and the princess, he would have ordered to move the princess out of the cold palace long ago. In my opinion, the emperor has long stopped caring about Shuguifei, and it was only because of the prime minister's power that he had to take the princess away to see the prime minister. You just wait and see, Shuguifei has already... It's late. When the time comes, don't beg me to ask the Empress to transfer you out of the cold palace! Tsk!"
The little prodigal pointed at Ling'er and said angrily: "How dare you guess the emperor's intention! Do you know that this is a capital crime!"
Ling'er snorted coldly: "This is the cold palace, where is the capital crime? Forget it. In the cold palace, only the Empress can control me. Where did you come from? How dare you say that to me!"
