Chapter 337 Scolding
This time Xuanyuan Xiao died suddenly, and Emperor Wen of Qi sent people to investigate the cause of Xuanyuan Xiao's death.
Yuan Ziyu was meticulous in his work and did not leave any clues. The final result of the investigation was naturally that Xuanyuan Xiao fell into the lake and died after getting drunk.
Xuanyuan Xiao was drunk? Where did he get drunk?
After checking, it became clear that it was in the room of concubine A'man!
When Emperor Wen of Qi learned of the situation, he naturally became angry and ordered that A'man be captured and buried with Xuanyuan Xiao.
However, when the people who came to capture Ah Man arrived at Ah Man's yard, they found that Ah Man had disappeared.
How can this be tolerated?
A woman who had been staying in the backyard of the prince's mansion for many years disappeared without a trace.
Emperor Wen of Qi was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of A'man. He was determined to capture A'man and give an explanation to his son.
However, the results of the investigation made Emperor Wen of Qi extremely angry!
This Ah Man was actually the Chi Le woman that Tuoba Hun brought last time!
His most beloved son actually took that Chile woman into his palace without his knowledge. If it was said that Xuanyuan Xiao and Tuoba Hun had no relationship, Emperor Wen of Qi would not believe it at all.
He was a suspicious person by nature, and after learning about this, the seeds of doubt in his heart could not be stopped!
However, now that Xuanyuan Xiao has passed away, he has issued an oral order to bury him with the rites of a prince. As a king, he cannot go back on his word.
Emperor Wen of Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and his fatherly love for Xuanyuan Xiao also faded a lot.
At this moment, seeing Liu Zhaoyi's hysterical appearance, he felt even more annoyed and could not help but shout angrily: "Enough!"
Liu Zhaoyi's heart and eyes were now filled with the desire to avenge Xuanyuan Xiao. When Emperor Wen of Qi scolded her, she was stunned: "Your Majesty!"
"Xiao'er fell and drowned by herself. Where do you want me to find the murderer for you?" Emperor Wen of Qi glared at Liu Zhaoyi and scolded.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Zhaoyi cried, "Xiao'er must have been murdered. I really think Xiao'er was murdered. Your Majesty, you must stand up for Xiao'er and me!"
"I'll make the decision!" Emperor Wen of Qi said angrily, "I'm already being magnanimous by not punishing him!"
"Your Majesty!" Liu Zhaoyi was stunned. She didn't know why Emperor Wen of Qi was so angry. He was clearly grieving for Xiao'er the day before.
Emperor Wen of Qi was not in a position to discuss the affairs of the court with a concubine, so he stood up with a flick of his sleeves: "Anyway, you raised a good son, huh!"
After saying that, he turned and left Yongfu Palace.
"Your Majesty!" When Liu Zhaoyi saw Emperor Wen of Qi leaving without looking back, she was shocked. Now that her brother and Xiao'er were gone, if the emperor disliked her again, what way would she have to survive in this deep palace?
"Empress!"
The maidservant beside her hurriedly supported Liu Zhaoyi and said, "Your Majesty, you should focus on taking care of your health!"
"Tell me, what's wrong with the Emperor?" Concubine Liu was puzzled, unable to suppress the panic in her heart. She ordered, "Quick, go and find out!"
"yes!"
The news of Xuanyuan Xiao's death spread like wildfire.
Xuanyuan Xiao's funeral was also held in a grand manner. He was buried with the ceremony of a prince, which was the highest honor for a prince.
Ah Man, wearing a veiled hat, looked at the wanted warrant for his arrest from afar, glared at it fiercely, secretly hating Xuanyuan Xiao for dying at the wrong time.
If Xuanyuan Xiao hadn't died, he could have stayed comfortably in the backyard of the prince's mansion, doing his own things with peace of mind. How leisurely and comfortable would that be?
But now, not only are there notices everywhere trying to arrest me, but many things I do are also hindered.
After thinking about it, Ah Man turned around and went back to a remote yard.
It was not until it got dark that Ah Man put on her nightgown and quietly left the yard.
In the Huainan Marquis's mansion, Han Chi was reading in the study, with a charming woman beside him. The two of them exchanged glances from time to time, looking very comfortable.
Suddenly, the charming woman stiffened and fell limply to the ground. The Marquis of Huainan was startled and was about to call for the guards when Ah Man's voice rang out faintly, "Lord Han seems to be enjoying himself!"
Han Chi looked up when he heard the voice and saw that it was Ah Man, so he stood up quickly and said, "I didn't know it was Miss Ah Man who came. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
Ah Man sneered and sat down on the chair. He looked at the fallen woman with disdain and sneered, "Lord Han is willing to eat such a piece of trash. He really has a good tooth."
Han Chi smiled awkwardly: "A vulgar woman will not be in the eyes of Miss A Man."
Ah Man didn't respond, but only asked, "How are the preparations for the witnesses going?"
"We're preparing!" Han Chi felt sweat dripping down his face and said with a smile.
"Lord Han!" Ah Man sneered, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but no wonder the eldest prince looks down on you. Is it so difficult to find a witness?"
Han Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Miss Ah Man, you don't know that my title of Marquis is just an empty one. I have no say in military power. Yuan Qifeng has been in the frontier for twenty years and has an excellent reputation. Finding a witness will be difficult!"
"If we can't find it, then just create a witness, right?" Ah Man snorted.
"The current emperor is suspicious, so we must be careful in our actions. Moreover, the eldest prince has not given the order to start any action. Therefore, I plan to search slowly and strive for perfection!" Han Chi said hurriedly.
"Hmph!" Ah Man looked at Han Chi and said, "Are you going to slack off until the Grand Prince gives the order? If the Grand Prince gives the order and you're not prepared, how are you going to explain it to him?"
"This..." Han Chi laughed awkwardly and said hurriedly, "Miss Ah Man, calm down. I will definitely speed up and get things done!"
"The eldest prince asked me to come here because he knows that you guys are unreliable. If you were all capable, why would you need me to come here?" Ah Man glared at Han Chi with dissatisfaction and contempt.
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Miss A'man!" Han Chi hurriedly apologized.
"Hurry up and prepare all the evidence and witnesses before the Grand Prince gives the order. As for Yuan Qi Lei, I have paved the way for you. You just need to find an opportunity to contact him!" Ah Man said.
"Yes, thank you Miss A'man for your help!" Han Chi poured A'man a cup of tea with a flattering look on his face.
Ah Man took the teacup and drank a sip of tea, then said, "Also, prepare a secret house for me. Everyone is looking for me outside now, so it's not appropriate for me to show up for the time being. When you find a place, come find me here!"
As he spoke, Ah Man gave an address.
"Don't worry, Miss A'man, I will definitely see to it!" Han Chi said hurriedly.
Ah Man nodded in satisfaction, turned around and left.
Han Chi looked at the dead woman on the ground and sighed. What a pity! She wasn't fresh enough yet.
"Someone come!"
"My Lord!"
"Drag him away and bury him!"
"yes!"
