Chapter 78 Catching the Adulterer King Qi
Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, reached out and pinched Su Yuheng's chin, and whispered: "Sure enough, Heng'er still has the idea."
"That's an excellent idea."
In fact, Huo Xingzhi had long known that Princess Yan Ning and the King of Qi often came to this abandoned palace to discuss matters.
I've heard a lot of their conversations.
He was certain that they would come here tonight.
Huo Xingzhi was hugging someone and heard Princess Yan Ning's voice coming from the main hall again.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with Zhang Nanyi. Her father is the Minister of Works."
"If my aunt remembers correctly, the matter you asked the Su family's eldest son to plan now will definitely require the use of the Ministry of Works."
The King of Qi lowered his voice and said, "Aunt, you are talking about fire and powder."
Princess Yan Ning nodded slowly and looked at King Qi again.
"Jing Che, listen to your aunt's advice and marry Zhang Nanyi. If you really don't like her, you can think of a solution when the time comes, wait until she gives birth..."
Princess Yan Ning stopped talking and subconsciously looked at King Qi.
The King of Qi immediately knew what it meant.
The two spoke very quietly in the main hall, but Huo Xingzhi had extraordinary hearing and heard almost everything.
On the contrary, Su Yuheng could only hear part of it.
The Prince of Qi and the eldest princess are both members of the royal family. Now that the battle for the throne is very fierce, the eldest princess and the Prince of Qi cannot have any relationship openly.
Otherwise, if Emperor Showa knew about it, he would definitely suspect that the two had ulterior motives.
The two could only use various banquets as a cover to discuss their ambition to seize the throne.
Huo Xingzhi carefully protected Su Yuheng and went to the north of the side hall, then turned around and left.
When she reached a quiet place in the palace, a palace maid in pink came.
"Your Majesty."
Huo Xingzhi said: "Send the princess back to Prince Li's mansion."
As he was about to leave, Su Yuheng grabbed Huo Xingzhi's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, I want to see a good show."
Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and whispered, "I'll take care of this matter."
Su Yuheng: "You go and do it. I also want to watch the show. I won't go back to Prince Li's Mansion yet. I want to go to the front of the palace to watch the fireworks."
Huo Xingzhi nodded, then looked at the palace maid beside him.
"Protect the princess as she goes to the front desk of the palace."
The maid nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
Su Yuheng followed behind the pink-dressed palace maid and observed her carefully.
The palace maid had calluses on her hands, so she must be a martial arts expert.
Under the protection of the young palace maid, Su Yuheng arrived at the front desk of the palace and saw Emperor Showa and the Empress helping the white-haired retired emperor watch the fireworks.
As she walked towards Liu in the crowd, she heard Liu's questioning voice.
"Heng'er, where have you been? Mother has been looking for you for a long time."
Liu glared at her, with a hint of blame in her tone.
"Are you going to meet Yanqiu again..."
Su Yuheng sneered in his heart.
It seems as if everyone cares about his precious son.
"What did mother say? Why don't I understand?"
Liu snorted coldly and lowered her voice: "You'd better put away your thoughts, don't ruin Yanqiu, and don't covet him."
Su Yuheng laughed angrily.
Liu treated Su Yanqiu as her own treasure.
Su Yuheng ignored Liu and just looked up at the fireworks in the sky.
In her peripheral vision, she saw a pink figure.
Over there, Prince Rui and Shen Wan were quietly watching the fireworks filling the sky.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was some movement behind the palace stands. Su Yuheng looked back and saw that Huo Xingzhi had come behind him.
The fireworks exploded in the night sky with a bang.
Huo Xingzhi reached out, gently squeezed her palm, and then let go.
After a while, the eunuch in charge came hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I just saw some movement in Changqiu Palace..."
Emperor Zhaohe frowned: "This Changqiu Palace is not the palace where the late queen stayed. It has been abandoned for a long time. What could be going on?"
The eunuch in charge stammered, "This servant seems to have seen someone...doing something shameful in Changqiu Palace."
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Showa's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Doing something shameful? Who is so bold as to dare to do such a dirty thing in Changqiu Palace, which is the former residence of the late queen?"
"Can you see clearly who it is?"
The eunuch in charge knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
"Slave...slave dare not say."
"If there is anything you dare not say, just say it when I tell you to. Speak!" Emperor Showa's voice was so loud that the eunuch in charge trembled.
"Who is it? I want to see who has such courage!"
The eunuch in charge said: "It is... it is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and..."
"With whom?" the queen asked anxiously.
The eunuch in charge lowered his head and stopped talking.
The Empress looked at Emperor Showa and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi has always been known for his virtue. He would not do such a ridiculous thing."
"Besides, wasn't he just granted marriage today?"
Emperor Showa's face turned pale. He flicked his sleeves and strode towards Changqiu Palace.
"I want to see how many ridiculous things Jing Che can do!"
"I just promised him a marriage, and he did this ridiculous thing in Changqiu Palace. I'll chop him up!"
"This Changqiu Palace is the former residence of the late queen. How dare he desecrate the late queen!"
After Emperor Showa finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and hurried to Changqiu Palace with all the concubines and female relatives.
"Your Majesty, Jing Che would not do such a thing. It must be that the eunuch in charge made a mistake." Concubine Gao said anxiously.
Now the King of Qi has lost the trust of Emperor Showa. If Emperor Showa sees anything again, the King of Qi will be completely finished.
Emperor Zhaohe looked at Concubine Gao and said coldly: "Concubine Gao, this is the good son you taught me. He is surprising me more and more."
At this moment, Prince Qi and Princess Yanning in Changqiu Palace did not know that Emperor Showa was coming here.
Inside Changqiu Palace, the atmosphere was particularly ambiguous.
A faint fragrance filled the bedroom, and the King of Qi and Princess Yan Ning felt so hot that even the shadows of the people in front of them gradually became blurred.
Gradually, the two felt so sleepy that they fell asleep.
Bai Ze came in through the window and dragged the two of them onto the bed.
He then reached out and stripped the clothes off the Prince of Qi and Princess Yan Ning, letting them lie on top of each other in an ambiguous position, and then pulled a quilt to cover them.
After everything was done, Bai Ze turned over and escaped through the window.
Two people were sleeping soundly in the hall, and the area outside Changqiu Palace was soon lit up by torches.
When Emperor Showa and his men hurried over, they smelled a faint sweet scent of osmanthus flowers, and the bedroom in the Changqiu Palace was tightly closed.
"Someone, open the door of Changqiu Palace for me!"
After saying this, two guards walked over and smashed the door open with a bang.
The hall was pitch black, and Emperor Showa asked the eunuch to light the lamps.
Concubine Gao said, "Your Majesty, how about I go in and see if it's Jing Che? If the eunuch in charge is wrong, wouldn't that be an injustice to Jing Che?"
Emperor Showa glanced at her coldly, and ignoring her pleading, he walked inside with the empress.
When the two of them walked around the screen and saw the two people on the bed clearly, the queen exclaimed in surprise.
"You...what are you doing?"
