"You go back and look after the Queen Mother and tell her not to act rashly. I'll go find the Emperor. Do you understand?"
Xiao Conghui said to Nanny Biyun.
He must protect his mother!
Biyun nodded without hesitation, maybe there is a way to save him.
......
After returning to Huiqing Hall, Xiao Conghui and Liu Qian lost interest.
Liu Qian asked the palace maids to leave. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Conghui. "Tell me, why is father so anxious?"
Why did he have to kill the queen tonight? She had heard some rumors, but what she didn't understand was why the emperor was so anxious.
Xiao Conghui took the tea and sighed softly, "It's not easy for my father to endure until today."
Given the emperor's temper, he wished he could get rid of Queen Wang the night Chun'er died in front of him.
Liu Xi stopped talking. What could she say now? She couldn't interrupt in the royal affairs. She just stood quietly in front of Xiao Conghui and kept him company.
Two big red candles illuminated the bridal chamber with warmth...
Xiao Conghui took a pen and ink and copied a document, "You go to sleep first, I'll be back soon"
After saying this, he strode out of Huiqing Hall and headed towards Weiyang Palace.
Liu Qian lay down on the bed silently, not feeling sleepy at all. She didn't know what was going to happen. The father and son in the royal family also have father-son affection, right?
She was very upset. If Xiao Conghui contradicted the emperor and was deposed, both of them would die...
......
Weiyang Palace.
"Hey, Your Highness, why are you here at this time?"
The chief eunuch Li Lai trotted over to meet him.
Xiao Conghui stopped and said, "Please tell the eunuch, I want to see the emperor."
When Li Lai saw Xiao Conghui rushing over in such a hurry, he knew what was going on. He was doing this for Queen Wang, but the Emperor had already made a decision on Queen Wang's matter, and it would be difficult to change it!
"Your Highness, the Emperor has gone to bed. Look, this..."
As long as they can get through tonight, Queen Wang's "death of illness" will mean that Xiao Conghui will have one less big obstacle on his path.
Li Lai knew that it was wrong for him to think this way, but his reason told him that Queen Wang had murdered the heir to the throne, and allowing her to leave in such a dignified manner was already a great favor from the emperor.
Xiao Conghui had done him a favor, so he hoped that tonight would go smoothly.
Xiao Conghui pronounced the word "go" word by word.
He must see it.
Before Li Lai could reply, a voice came from the inner hall, "Who is outside the hall?"
Xiao Hanyi was also uneasy after returning from the Pepper Room. He had a lot of emotions in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. He drank a calming soup and lay down. He was always troubled by nightmares while he was in a daze. He woke up at the slightest movement outside.
"Your son has important matters to attend to with your father."
Xiao Conghui raised his voice.
Li Lai sighed slightly in his heart, trotted into the inner hall, and whispered in Xiao Hanyi's ear, "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Hanyi glanced at him and said, "Do you think I'm blind? I can't even recognize the prince's voice?"
Li Lai's whole body tensed up, and he quickly helped Xiao Hanyi up, put a pillow behind him, and then took two steps back unnoticeably. The emperor was in a bad mood, so stay away, stay away!
......
Xiao Hanyi frowned and stared at Xiao Conghui who was kneeling on the ground.
Li Lai had already retreated tactfully.
Xiao Conghui said, "I beg you, father, to spare my mother, even if she is guilty..."
"Shut up, shut up!" Xiao Hanyi slapped the bed, his face turning pale with anger.
If it weren't for his son, he would have executed Queen Wang long ago. Now this outcome is the best one. It preserves her dignity as queen and does not expose what she has done.
He has done her enough.
Now you want him to show mercy again?
Xiao Conghui faced the emperor's anger and said, "Your Majesty, I understand that this is all for me, but I would rather not be the crown prince..."
Before he could finish his words, a pillow hit him in the face. He ignored it and continued, "Your son is willing to take your mother to a distant fiefdom..."
"You, shut up," Xiao Hanyi interrupted again.
Granting a prince a fiefdom? What about all the years of cultivation he's put into practice?
At this moment, Xiao Hanyi was really angry, and a thought flashed through his mind.
The image of the Second Prince appeared in his mind, and Xiao Hanyi immediately shook his head. No, no, his second son could not defeat the Northern Liang. If he handed the throne to him, then unifying the Daliang would become a dream.
Xiao Conghui, "If there are mistakes, there should be punishment. What about merits? Shouldn't the emperor reward them?"
He had already thought about it on the way here. He decided to give the credit for bringing the spy to Northern Liang and planting him in the court to the Queen. Wouldn't that offset the credit?
Xiao Hanyi stared at him. He wanted to hear what Queen Wang had accomplished.
Xiao Conghui said slowly, "The day before yesterday, my mother discovered that Wen Luo, a maid in her palace, was acting suspiciously. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Wen Luo was from Beiliang... She also learned about Wu Lao San Restaurant from her, and following the clues, she found a list of Beiliang's spies..."
Xiao Hanyi was immediately overjoyed. He sat up straight, his eyes sparkling, and asked anxiously, "Is it true?"
Over the years, he has killed so many people just to find out the spies from Northern Liang, but with little success.
With this list, we can destroy Beiliang’s intelligence system in one fell swoop, which is simply equivalent to an army of 100,000!
Xiao Conghui handed over a list with both hands, "This is part of it, please read it, father."
He quickly copied some of them down and specially selected a few people that Xiao Hanyi trusted.
Xiao Hanyi got out of bed, ran to Xiao Conghui without putting on shoes, and snatched the list.
When he opened it, some familiar names jumped into his eyes, and his joy immediately dissipated and was replaced by anger.
quiet!
The only sound in the hall was Xiao Hanyi's breathing!
Thousands of wild horses were galloping in his heart.
These people...
