With the assassination, the banquet will definitely not be able to continue.
General Xue ran over and knelt down to apologize, "Your Majesty, it was all my fault. Please forgive me."
"General Xue, although you are the commander of the Imperial Guard, you cannot do everything yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you just need to find out."
Xiao Hanyi personally appointed Xue Ren as the commander of the Imperial Guard because he had absolute trust in him.
My silly father, this assassination was planned by him. You really have a keen eye for talent. I entrusted my safety to him. It’s a miracle that you’re still alive today.
What?
Xiao Hanyi raised his eyebrows and thought carefully about what Xue Ren had done. It seemed that there were no flaws.
Since the little guy knows about the assassination tonight, she needs to consider her words carefully.
"Then put him in death row first," Xiao Hanyi said.
kindness?
Xue Ren's emotions fluctuated, leaving only shock. He thought his disguise was flawless, and in order to gain Xiao Hanyi's trust, he even blocked an arrow for Xiao Hanyi.
Ah, my tyrant father is smart. Hurry up and put him in death row.
Xiao Hanyi's heart actually moved slightly when he received Xiao Jiayun's praise. She praised him, praised him.
He stroked his beard and said, "Come here, put Xue Ren in the death cell and keep him under strict guard."
"emperor"
Xue Ren wanted to struggle a little more, "Your Majesty, please give me a chance to make amends."
Xiao Hanyi ignored him and waved his hand for the guards to take him away.
[Great! Daddy is awesome! Hurry up and check him out! This Xue Ren is the former crown prince's man.]
Hearing Xiao Jiayun praising him, Xiao Hanyi's brows relaxed. He was going to be an emperor throughout the ages, of course that was not bad!
Queen Wang had calmed down after watching these unexpected events, but she vaguely felt that something was not right when Xiao Hanyi suddenly attacked Commander Xue.
Prime Minister Wang stepped forward and knelt. "Your Majesty, Commander Xue has defended the Imperial City for so many years. You understand his loyalty to you. This time, why not give him a chance to make amends and let Commander Xue investigate the case thoroughly?"
The other officials were in turmoil, not knowing whether they should plead for mercy. Based on their understanding of Xiao Hanyi over the years, they knew that when faced with such a situation, it was better to remain calm than to act.
Therefore, no one stood up to speak, and everyone waited for Xiao Hanyi to deal with them.
[Daddy, no, don’t listen to him, don’t listen to him]
"Let's go home today," Xiao Hanyi pulled Guo Cairen aside and strode away.
Queen Wang and Concubine Heng were left in shock.
The two of them had been fighting fiercely for the throne. If the emperor suddenly passed away at this time, for a while, neither of them would be completely sure that their son could ascend the throne.
Queen Wang was from the Wang family of Langya, a century-old noble family. Although her eldest prince had all the advantages by enthroning the legitimate heir, no one in their family currently held military power. When Xiao Hanyi was still a prince, Heng Luosu dared to break into her palace with a sword. If anything happened to the emperor, no one could say for sure whether their Heng family would use force to help the second prince ascend the throne.
Didn’t the current emperor Xiao Hanyi ascend to the throne through a military coup?
Although Concubine Heng's brother was a general with military power, they did not have a formal status after all, and did not have a complete chance of winning for the time being.
Therefore, neither of them wants anything to happen to Xiao Hanyi now.
Seeing that Xiao Hanyi had already walked away, Queen Wang stood up and said to Concubine Heng, "What do you think about what happened today, sister?"
Concubine Heng's eyes darkened, and she didn't respond to Queen Wang's words. She muttered to herself, "Why did the emperor suddenly attack Commander Xue?"
Queen Wang frowned after hearing this. Yes, what happened to Xiao Hanyi today?
Although he has the reputation of being a tyrant, he is not a moody person.
"Judging from today's situation, the emperor is very concerned about Concubine Guo. Your Majesty should take more care of Concubine Guo's fetus. Didn't the emperor say that nothing must happen to Concubine Guo's fetus? There is no need for the imperial physician you recommended. Hey, it seems that the little prince in Concubine Guo's belly is a lucky star," said Concubine Heng with a smile.
In this palace, she was the only one who knew that Queen Wang was not a virtuous person, and she was the only one who knew that those aborted children were the result of Queen Wang's tricks.
Of course, she didn't want another prince to be born in the palace. If the other party could take action, it would save her trouble. From this perspective, she was still very grateful to Queen Wang.
Queen Wang's heart sank, but her face remained calm. "I hope Concubine Guo can give birth safely. However, I don't know what happened in the palace, but the children haven't been born yet. Sigh, when we have time, we should go to the Purple Palace and burn some incense."
"yes".
After saying this, Concubine Heng turned and left.
Queen Wang's eyes gradually became fierce as she looked at her back. This woman, relying on Xiao Hanyi's love for her, really didn't take her seriously at all.
In full view of everyone, she was the queen and didn't say goodbye, but she, a concubine, left without saying goodbye.
She sighed softly and said, "Let's all go away."
"yes"
The concubines had long been accustomed to the open and secret struggles between Queen Wang and Concubine Heng. After paying their respects to Queen Wang, they dispersed one after another.
------
Xiao Hanyi held Guo Cairen's hand and walked all the way to Weiyang Palace.
Guo Cairen followed him all the time and didn't dare to speak.
Xiao Hanyi took off his heavy coat and changed into casual clothes, seeing that Guo Cairen was still standing there without moving.
"You are all dead, hurry up and help Concubine Guo change her clothes," he growled at the palace maids with a cold face.
The frightened palace maids hurried forward to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Seeing Xiao Hanyi waving his hand and signaling them to stand up, he hurriedly asked Guo Cairen to stand up and helped her into the inner hall.
Guo Cairen had never received such care. When she was a lady, although she had a palace maid serving her, this palace maid was serving three ladies and could not take care of her in everything.
