Xuanzheng Hall.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince stood in front of the imperial desk and reported everything that happened in the Cining Palace.
"So, the phoenix that accompanied Baozhu's birth was captured by the Queen Mother's people?"
The emperor had a gloomy face.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the Crown Prince's guards and the guards arranged by me have secretly set up control of the Cining Palace...
No trace of the phoenix was found.”
The emperor changed the subject, "How is Baozhu? Are you scared?
Is she sad that the phoenix is missing?"
Before the Crown Prince and the Second Prince answered, the Emperor had already gotten the answer from the expressions on their faces.
At this time, the emperor may have figured it out. The gloom between his brows gradually faded, and his eyes showed a kind of sudden enlightenment and determination.
"Prince, regarding Baozhu's full moon banquet tomorrow...
You discuss the arrangements with the Second Brother, and at the same time, go find the Imperial Censor, Lord Fan, and tell him about my instructions.
There will definitely be many stories at the full moon banquet tomorrow. You have cooperated in the previous two rounds and already have experience.
It’s just that this time, many things we can’t figure out may have unexpected answers.”
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince looked at each other and saluted respectfully.
"Father, I am secretly keeping an eye on the people in the Cining Palace..."
The second prince was a little hesitant. He had always been resolute and would not bend. However, seeing his father recently thinking that the Queen Mother was hurt, he was deeply shocked...
Only then did he become a little more tactful.
"explain!"
"The guards reported that Nanny Qin, who was beside the Queen Mother, sent a message out of the palace after we left the Cining Palace...
The men followed the clues, and the other party was very successful, and left in several groups...
But after checking with the guards at the city gate, no unusual people left the city...
Therefore, I infer that these people sent the information to many places in the city."
The prince added, "It so happens that I, as your son, have checked the list of officials who will be attending tomorrow according to your father's instructions...
I found that there were several officials who were not allowed to take leave by the emperor's order, but there were still some who took leave and asked their families to attend on their behalf...
Soon after my dear nanny spread the news, feedback was available again...”
The emperor's expression was meaningful. "Could it be that they thought...
The reason why Baozhu can predict certain things is because she has the help of the phoenix.
After catching the phoenix, they thought that they would be safe at the full moon banquet tomorrow and would not be exposed, so they felt relieved to attend...
I am really curious..."
The emperor stood up and said, "What does the Queen Mother need that I won't satisfy her? Have I never satisfied her?
Do I need her to go behind my back and collude with my ministers, so that I will be attacked from all sides in the end?"
The prince's face was solemn. Although no concrete evidence had been found yet, if one was determined to investigate, he would always be able to find clues.
Now, all that’s missing is one piece of evidence, but it seems that they already know the answer.
"Father..."
The second prince was a little worried, "Will the Queen Mother make any other moves at the full moon banquet the day after tomorrow?"
The second prince expressed his opinion evasively. After all, the empress dowager is her grandmother and elder, and cannot be treated in the ordinary way.
If it were anyone else, even if there was a slight possibility, the Second Prince would restrict the other party's actions before the other party made a move.
A look of determination flashed across the emperor's face, "From now until tomorrow, you should pay more attention.
The next morning, he found an excuse to send Nanny Qin away and arrested the man.
Whether you can ask something useful depends on you, Old Two! "
The second prince was nervous and a little excited. It seemed that his father was already prepared to turn against the Queen Mother. What else did he have to worry about?
He also understood that the emperor chose to hold the full-moon banquet early in the morning the day after tomorrow because he did not want to alarm the ministers who obeyed the empress dowager, lest they notice any disturbance and ask for leave again.
The Empress rearranged the Xuanhua Palace according to the Emperor's intention, and all the palace servants were borrowed from Concubine Duan and Concubine De.
Less than two days passed in a flash.
On the morning of the full moon banquet, Jun Baozhu changed into new clothes made by the Queen, which made her look delicate and lovely, and softened people's hearts.
Before attending the banquet, Concubine Li fed her daughter first. Jun Baozhu drank milk and listened to the latest information revealed by the system in her sea of consciousness as usual.
[What? Eunuch Li personally came out to tell Nanny Qin that the emperor had summoned him? ]
[Madame Qin was afraid and didn't dare to go, but Eunuch Li used both soft and hard tactics, saying that the emperor was concerned about the Queen Mother's daily life, and urged Madame Qin to go while the Queen Mother was going to the toilet in the morning? ]
【Finally, did Nanny Qin go there? 】
[Yes! The emperor is here, and he is in the palace, how dare she not go? ]
[Think about it, how domineering was Aunt Gui in the past? Now, someone is controlling them! ]
[What? Father didn't want to see her, but as soon as she left the Cining Palace, Nanny Qin was arrested by the Second Prince and taken to the interrogation room? ]
[Did Father ask for this? Yes! If it wasn't Father's arrangement, after all, he is the Queen Mother's confidant and the second prince's brother, so he wouldn't dare to be so careless. ]
[What? Torture? Ouch!]
Jun Baozhu stopped drinking milk and said in an indescribably excited voice, [Exciting! Father is so mighty! ]
[The second prince is so powerful! ]
[Falling out, falling out! 】
