Chapter 213 Bo Qiaohui 25
"What do you know? Queen Mother has been partial to Wu'er for so many years. Even when Father was seriously ill, she only summoned Wu'er to Chang'an. Can't you see what she is planning?"
Guantao gritted her teeth, thinking that after hearing the news from the palace maid today, she immediately sent people to investigate, but the results she found out shocked her.
The emperor's father was too ill to attend court, but the queen mother remained silent and refused to recall the crown prince. However, there were unusual movements from Prince Liang's side.
"Where did Your Highness Princess get this information?"
"Of course it's the Weiyang Palace maid. You still have the mood to ask this? The most urgent thing is to find a way to protect my brother's throne!"
Bo Qiaohui remained unhurried, even in the mood to ask, "Your Highness, what is there to worry about? Wasn't Prince Liang also raised by the Empress? If he really does become the Crown Prince, wouldn't you be the Grand Princess, who has nothing to blame?"
"How can that be the same? Liu Wu and I have had no feelings for each other since we were young. If he becomes emperor, with my mother's partial attitude, I'm afraid I won't have a say in this palace anymore." Guan Tao raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the pillar. "He's a son of a concubine, so isn't he just trying to please my mother? He's dreaming of climbing over our heads! "
"I just want to ask you, will you help me with this?"
"So what's your plan, Princess?"
Qiaohui was also a little curious. This time, without that Li Miao person to interrupt, what kind of brilliant plan could our princess come up with?
"Come closer and listen..."
As she listened to Guan Tao's idea, the surprise in Bo Qiaohui's eyes grew stronger and stronger. When she finished speaking, Bo Qiaohui looked at her almost as if she were a rare animal.
Oh my god, where did she secretly learn this? How could she come up with such an idea?
"Why? You don't want to?"
"That's not the case. I just have a question." Bo Qiaohui didn't wait for her to refuse and asked directly, "Whose idea was it?"
"Chen...it's none of your business. Just say whether you will do it or not."
Chen, Chen what? If there was anyone with the surname Chen who could strike up a conversation with the proud and arrogant Princess Guantao, it would naturally be her husband, Chen Wu.
But the Chen Wu in this drama is kind and simple, as Dou Yifang herself has approved. He is not good at being an official, so he can only be his Zhongcheng Ling honestly. Although Dou Yifang's judgment of her children is extremely bad, her judgment of others is still reliable.
Apart from this, who else would get involved in these matters, and have such a vicious look in his eyes, and directly choose the easiest one to deceive among all the parties involved?
Chen, Chen...
Chen Yong!
The more Bo Qiaohui thought about it, the more familiar it felt. Looking at the pavilion not far away, she suddenly remembered that more than a month ago, among the three people Liu Qi invited to a banquet, the third one had always tried to interrupt the conversation between Liu Qi and her second brother but never succeeded. It seemed that his surname was Chen, and his name was Chen Yong.
Where did he say he was from?
It seems to be... Guangling?
"Hey, I'm asking you a question."
Guan Tao shook her with a slightly unhappy look. Qiao Hui's calm eyes flashed a sharp light for a moment, and then returned to calmness. "Your Highness Princess has taken so much trouble to consider His Highness the Crown Prince. As the Crown Prince's consort, I naturally cannot let you down."
After a few perfunctory words, Qiao Hui immediately returned to the palace. Her face was no longer as gentle and harmless as before. "Le Chi, go check who the princess has been in frequent contact with recently, and who spread the rumors in Weiyang Palace."
"Ah Man, you took my badge and left the palace. Check someone for me."
The lingering summer heat had not yet dissipated, and the cicadas still alive in the trees were still trying to complete their final songs. Sitting in the deep palace, Bo Qiaohui was truly curious about how long this grand drama would last.
Rumors in the palace intensified, and Dou Yifang's attitude grew increasingly hard. Half a month later, Guan Tao and Liu Qi suddenly appeared in the palace, accompanied by Empress Dowager Bo. They accused the Empress Dowager of taking advantage of the Emperor's illness to seize power in order to welcome Prince Liu Wu of Liang into the Weiyang Palace.
Guantao ignored the Queen's objections and tried to lift the veil from the Emperor's head. However, in front of everyone's eyes, he found that it was actually Liu Heng who was on the throne, already dead.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a man suddenly jumped out from the end of the ministers and shouted that the queen was plotting to murder His Majesty and had rebellious intentions.
Everyone was shocked and saw that it was the newly appointed censor, Chen Yong.
"Chen Yong, what are you talking about? When did our mother ever try to murder our father? She just wanted Wu'er to be the emperor."
Guantao looked at Chen Yong strangely, not understanding why he suddenly went crazy and why he didn't do as they had agreed at the beginning.
"As the Imperial Censor, I am merely reporting the truth of what I have heard. I would never dare to speak without reason. I have the Imperial Physician Liang in the palace as my witness."
For the first time, Chen Yong became the center of this hall, no longer an insignificant third person or a small censor.
He pointed excitedly at the head of the table and said, "The Queen has plotted against Your Majesty by forging an imperial edict to pass the throne to Prince Liang. The forged edict is on her person. Prince Liang has already entered Chang'an, and his troops are stationed outside the city. His evil ambitions are obvious!"
The Queen didn't even look at Chen Yong, but stared at her two children: "Is this what you meant?"
Empress Dowager Bo, who had been helped here by them, also realized that something was wrong. She sighed, and said solemnly, "First, arrest this person who is making such a noise in the hall, gag him and drag him away."
Then he looked at Dou Yifang and said, "No matter what you are planning, you must give me an explanation for what happened today."
Dou Yifang knew she must have fallen for someone else's scheme, and feared the two children were mere pawns. But the person had already called her out in the main hall, so she had no choice but to go to a side hall, where, under the supervision of the Empress Dowager, the Crown Princess and other palace servants searched her.
Guan Tao kept giving Bo Qiaohui glances, fearing that she was unaware of the reversal that had taken place in the hall today. He still searched for the imperial edict that had been sewn on the phoenix robe in advance as planned.
Seeing the side hall door open, she hurried in: "How is it? Didn't they find anything on Mother?"
"You seem even more anxious than I am?" Dou Yifang's expression became a little strange, but if you looked closely, you could see that she had completely relaxed. Empress Dowager Bo beside her also looked tired. "I'll leave the rest to the Empress. Sigh... When will these intrigues and deceptions end?"
After seeing off the Queen Mother, Dou Yifang was about to speak to Liu Qi when Rong'er suddenly ran in, "Oh no, Queen! His Royal Highness Prince Liang heard that you were being coerced by the ministers, so he led his troops into the palace and blocked all the city gates. Now General Li Guang is leading his troops to confront them."
