Chapter 683 What Mr. Chu and the Queen Mother had to say
Song Jiuyuan took a step forward and grabbed the assassin's body on the ground with both hands.
At the same time, he tore off the clothes on the other person's arms, revealing a mysterious eagle pattern.
Elder Chu showed an expression of astonishment, "This is the mark on the Queen Mother's secret guards."
He took a few steps forward and knelt before the emperor, "I ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Jin family."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. I will not let go of anyone who wants to harm Dafeng Jiangshan."
The emperor immediately issued an order for the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation.
"emperor!"
When Minister Jin of the Ministry of Rites heard this, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Jin family. It was all the Queen Mother's own decision!"
When what happened on the altar just now, he kept pretending to be a coward and disagreed with the Queen Mother's plan.
"Sister Wanwan."
Song Jiuli was secretly excited. If the Jin family was thoroughly investigated, could her marriage to Jin Congwen be called off?
"Don't be so obvious."
Jiang Wan's mouth twitched, "Originally, the emperor had already taken note of them when they supported the second prince last time.
Now that I have ascended the throne, I will naturally settle accounts one by one."
The Jin family is smart, and even though they wanted to support the second prince, they did not do it themselves.
The emperor had been looking for something to hold against him, and now the empress dowager had delivered it to him personally.
"Don't be afraid, my dear."
Although the emperor was young, he was very steady, "If you hadn't participated.
I believe the Dali Temple Minister will also give you justice. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"emperor!"
Minister Jin knew that someone had to be sacrificed for the Jin family, so he kowtowed quickly.
“These totems are indeed the symbols of the Jin family, but they have nothing to do with us because they were given to the Queen Mother by my grandfather when she got married.
From then on, the Jin family had nothing to do with it, and the Queen Mother herself was in charge of these secret guards."
"How does the Queen Mother train in the deep palace?"
The emperor smiled sarcastically and did not give Minister Jin a chance to argue. He directly ordered the Dali Temple to drag the man away.
For a time, people were in panic. In the court, only Song Jiuyuan's people supported the current emperor from the beginning.
Those who had supported other princes were now in danger, fearing that the emperor would take revenge on them later.
"The emperor is frightened."
Song Jiuyuan bowed slightly to calm the emperor who was about to become furious.
"I believe the Dali Temple will give a result soon. The most urgent task is to comfort the injured ministers."
"I know."
The emperor did not blame Song Jiuyuan. He waved his hand and asked the imperial doctors to treat everyone's injuries.
Jiang Wan and the others were all fine. After everything was settled, the emperor allowed everyone to leave the palace.
Song Jiuyuan and his men stayed behind to clean up the mess.
Chu Qi said goodbye to Song Jiuchi reluctantly with a distressed look on her face, while Mrs. Song couldn't stop smiling.
"We're going to have another wedding soon."
"Mom, my eldest brother and sister-in-law's wedding hasn't even taken place yet, I can't get ahead of them."
Song Jiuchi was quite humble, and Mrs. Song twitched her lips speechlessly.
"I know, we can get engaged first, silly son."
Ever since they found their lover, both of their sons have become silly, but Mrs. Song is still quite happy.
"Yes, mother is right."
Song Jiuchi slapped his thigh and accidentally pulled the wound on his arm, causing Song Jiuli to laugh at him mercilessly.
"You are gloating."
"You're still laughing at me."
Song Jiuchi said in a heart-wrenching voice: "It is a done deal between Chuchu and me, but I don't know when you will be able to..."
"Shut up and put your mouth on me."
Song Jiuli was irritated and subconsciously looked at Sheng Yi not far away. They were a little far away, so she didn't hear what they said.
"The Queen Mother is courting death. This time, I'm afraid it will implicate the Jin family. By then, your marriage will be cancelled, Li'er."
Jiang Wan was happy for Song Jiuli from the bottom of her heart. Ever since the death of the late emperor, Jin Congwen had been visiting the Song family from time to time.
Even if Song Jiuli was not around, he still enjoyed it.
I guess the Jin family must have anticipated this day long ago, and now they want to rely on the big ship of the Song family.
“Hey.”
Song Jiuli sighed sadly. So what if she broke off the engagement? The person she liked didn't like her.
"After Li'er's engagement was broken off, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to meet someone else."
Speaking of Song Jiuli's marriage, Mrs. Song was also a little worried.
However, Ji Qian didn't want to expose Song Jiuli's little secret, so she could only pretend that she knew nothing.
After chatting all the way out of the palace, Mrs. Song invited Jiang Wan to go to the prince's mansion, but Jiang Wan refused.
After all, the Song family has not been peaceful during this period.
After the previous emperor passed away, Song Jiuyuan became the new emperor's trusted minister. The Song family members who had once treated them like trash wanted to get involved with him again.
So Mrs. Song did not force Jiang Wan, and just let her deal with those troublesome things.
Jiang Wan wanted to go back home directly, but unexpectedly Chu Qi called her, "Sister Jiang."
Now that they can finally openly express their good relationship, Chu Qi smiled happily.
"Why are you alone?"
Jiang Wan knew that the Chu family was a large family, but the Chu family members had no desire for power, so the only ones who came today were Old Chu, Chu Qi, and Chu Qi's father.
Chu Qi curled his lips and said, "Grandfather and father asked me to go out first."
"You're not happy driving it?"
After all, Jiang Wan and Chu Qi had been together for such a long time, and Jiang Wan had even been her master, so she was keenly aware of Chu Qi's emotions.
"Not yet the Queen Mother."
Chu Qi was very angry. She and Jiang Wan rode side by side on the horse, speaking in an indignant tone.
"When I came out just now, I vaguely heard the Queen Mother's people say that they wanted to see my grandfather."
Jiang Wan:!!!
This news seems to be quite explosive.
There was a fire of gossip burning in her eyes, but some questions were difficult to ask.
Chu Qi probably saw through her thoughts, so she said, "Sister Jiang, I'm afraid you want to ask about the old things between the Queen Mother and my grandfather, right?"
She snorted, “There’s nothing wrong with this actually. The Queen Mother was indeed engaged to my grandfather before she got married.
But later on, the Jin family disliked my grandfather for being a lowly official, so they broke off the engagement and sent the Queen Mother into the palace."
After saying this, she laughed at herself, "Perhaps they didn't expect that my grandfather would be so important and become the teacher of the late emperor."
Jiang Wan: ...
This is really shocking! She was very curious and asked, "So Grandpa Chu... really had a relationship with the Queen Mother..."
"How is that possible?!"
Chu Qi curled her lips in disdain, "In the beginning, the engagement was arranged by the parents and the matchmaker.
My grandfather said that he was ignorant at that time and had no idea about the relationship between men and women until he met my grandmother.
So he has no resentment towards the Queen Mother. On the contrary, it is because the Queen Mother sees that my grandparents have a good relationship that she frequently targets our Chu family."
Perhaps it was regret or imbalance that caused the Queen Mother to go crazy.
"Even when she was about to die, she still wanted to see Grandpa Chu. I think she loves Grandpa Chu very deeply."
Jiang Wan sighed, and this time Chu Qi was the one who was surprised.
"Sister Jiang, you are so bold. You should know that these old things are secrets. We in the Chu family dare not mention them. In fact, I think so too. Every time, my grandfather would say that I was talking nonsense."
