Bilan nodded, "The Emperor did say so. If the Imperial Concubine doesn't forgive you, you will have to stay in the cold palace."
Concubine Shu was so angry that she threw the notebook in her hand to the ground.
"The Emperor really dotes on that old bitch Zheng Qiuyan! She must have framed me!
She deliberately let her nanny say that it was me who ordered the poisoning, just to have me banished to the cold palace by the emperor!
It is obvious that Zheng Qiuyan and I have never had any other conflicts before!
Why did she frame me like this? "
Bilan leaned over and picked up the storybook and placed it on the table, “Your Majesty, it’s not necessarily the Imperial Concubine who framed you.
After all, the person who said you were the mastermind behind the scenes was the nanny serving the Imperial Concubine.
It is also possible that the nanny deliberately framed you.
Now that the nanny is dead, there is no evidence, so the queen can only feel wronged."
Concubine Shu knew that Bilan was right, but the anger and resentment in her heart still bubbled up in waves, "Damn it!"
"It's been a while since the last time the Queen asked Princess Ning to go and plead with Princess Kang.
But Princess Kang never entered the palace, and probably didn't tell the Royal Concubine about this, let alone persuade the Royal Concubine to give in.
While the Empress was having a hard time in the cold palace, Princess Kang and her family were still planning to go to the Jinchan Temple to burn incense and meet the monk.
Whenever I think of this, I feel really bad for your Majesty."
Bilan lowered her eyebrows and spoke slowly, as if she was really speaking up for Concubine Shu.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu's eyes turned, "Princess Kang and her family are going to Jinchan Temple to meet the monk?
What kind of eminent monk could allow King Kang and his entire family to go together?"
"I'm not sure about that. I only heard that the monk is very powerful and usually travels around the world and rarely returns to Jinchan Temple."
"Oh? Do you know when Prince Kang and his family plan to go to the Golden Cicada Temple?"
The calculation in Concubine Shu's eyes was quite obvious, without any concealment.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know."
"It's okay. If you don't know, then you don't know. Tell me what has happened in Prince Kang's Mansion recently."
Bilan looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't know. It was just a coincidence that I knew Prince Kang and his family would go to Jinchan Temple.
As for what happened in Prince Kang's mansion, it is even more impossible for me to know."
Concubine Shu curled her lips in disgust and asked Bilan to leave.
Concubine Shu rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while before speaking, "Someone come."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in black appeared in front of her silently.
"Go and find out when Prince Kang's family went to the Golden Cicada Temple. Also, send someone to ambush them on the road and kill both Princess Kang and the baby!"
Shu Fei's eyes were filled with hatred, and she almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth.
"yes."
Bilan returned to Kunning Palace and briefly reported Shufei's situation to the Queen.
After hearing this, the queen was speechless.
"Since she's living so comfortably in the cold palace, why is she still nagging about coming out? Never mind. I actually hope she can stay in the cold palace forever, so that I can have a few more days of good life."
The Queen's words made Bilan at a loss for words, and she could only agree with him, "Your Majesty is right."
At this time in the imperial study, the old emperor learned from Ankou what had happened in Kunning Palace and the Cold Palace.
The old emperor played with the jade ring on his thumb, his cloudy eyes filled with smiles.
"Shu Fei really loves to stir up trouble. Since she wants to do this, let's help her.
By the way, are you sure King Kang got the evidence you left behind last time?"
“Reporting to the Emperor, I have confirmed that the fire was avoided by the two young masters of Prince Kang’s Mansion. They also took away the evidence that I deliberately left it at the inn.
Prince Kang already knew that it was Prince Gong who wanted to harm his two sons, but Prince Kang did not take any action for the time being.
Not long ago, Prince Gong even went to Prince Kang's residence to drink with him."
An Yi explained.
Hearing this, the smile in the old emperor's eyes faded a little.
"Why hasn't any action been taken yet? Could it be that because his two sons are still alive and unharmed, King Kang wants to pretend that this incident never happened?
That’s right, King Kang has just such a personality.
Then as his father, I have to help him even more.
Help Concubine Shu and achieve her goal, and remember to keep evidence of Prince Gong.
It’s time for Prince Kang to see Prince Gong’s true face.”
The old emperor spoke meaningfully, his old face smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"yes."
.......
Two days after Prince Kang received the news from Prince An that the Minister of Rites was a great philanthropist, the guards he sent out to investigate finally came back to report to him.
However, the information the guards found out was almost the same as what Prince An said.
Now King Kang decided to put the matter aside for the time being and just accept it as a loss he suffered in silence.
"Your Majesty, you previously asked me to investigate the background of General Ye and his wife's youngest son, but I am incompetent and have yet to find any clues.
But I know one thing."
The guard's words made King Kang stunned and he rubbed his eyebrows. He was not in a hurry to know what the guard knew, but asked about what he was asked to investigate.
"Still can't find out anything about my brother-in-law's affairs?"
"Yes." The guard looked ashamed, "Although this happened fifteen years ago, it's not too long ago, but there are no clues now.
All we can find out is that there was nothing unusual going on when the General's wife gave birth."
King Kang sighed secretly. He really wanted to ask his daughter Ye Shu directly, if Ye Shu was not his mother-in-law's biological son, then who was her mother-in-law's biological son?
After repeated investigations, I still couldn't find out my brother-in-law's background.
Is it because his guarding ability is too poor, or is there some conspiracy behind his brother-in-law's life experience that he can't find any clues?
"Your Majesty, I know something."
The guard said this again.
King Kang hummed, and finally spoke, "What's the matter?"
"I accidentally learned that General Ye wrote a letter to the Emperor, asking for permission for his family to return to Beijing for the New Year and to visit the young lady.
The Emperor also replied. Although I don't know what the letter contained, seeing the messenger's cheerful expression, I guess the Emperor must have approved General Ye's request."
"Oh? That's a good thing!"
King Kang stood up joyfully and asked the guard again, "Are you sure?"
The guard scratched his head. "Your Highness, since you asked this, I'm a little unsure. But I am certain that General Ye did write the letter, the Emperor replied, and the messenger was very happy."
"Okay, that should be stable."
Prince Kang touched his chin and planned to tell his wife about this as a surprise.
This year, my wife can finally have a good reunion with her parents and brothers!
