"Grandson knows he was wrong." Bei Mingye and the eldest prince admitted their mistakes honestly.
At this time, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Chang'an again, "Chang'an, although you are a woman, you should know when to stop joking. Right now, your father is the most important thing."
"Yes." Chang'an lowered his head, "Grandma, I know I was wrong, but Chang'an..."
"Any reason is just a reason." Bei Mingxuan turned his head and glanced at Chang'an, "Don't joke with Big Brother anymore. You must also remember what the Empress Dowager said."
Chang'an nodded obediently, his big eyes seemed misty, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Stand up and sit down." The Queen Mother felt exhausted. "Hong'er, Ye'er, you can't blame Chang'an entirely for this. She said she was joking with you, so it must have been half true and half false. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so flustered."
Bei Ming Hong and Bei Ming Ye remained silent.
The Queen Mother didn't point at them and explain anything. She looked at Lin Shangde and Feng Zhengmin with certainty, "Do you two Prime Ministers think what I said is right?"
"The Queen Mother is right."
"Hmm." The Queen Mother understood their little thoughts, but she hinted at them without revealing them. "Those things behind your back, you said you were worth ten thousand before, but it was all for that chair.
It is perfectly normal for the descendants of the royal family to have such thoughts.
I don’t care about these things. What I care about is my son, the emperor of Shuzhou. Why did he suddenly disappear?
Please tell me how to investigate this matter, where to investigate, and who to ask for help."
"Grandmother, your grandson still believes that Eunuch Cheng is the biggest suspect." The eldest prince said, glancing at Chang Ah with lingering fear.
Everyone could see the look in his eyes clearly.
"Your suspicion is normal," the Queen Mother said. "Even if Xiao Chengzi is not suspected, he cannot escape the charge of dereliction of duty."
"Your Majesty, I understand." Eunuch Cheng knelt down immediately. "This servant has failed in his duty, but I guarantee that the Emperor disappeared in this Imperial Study. I guarantee with my own head that the Emperor did not leave the Imperial Study even once during his coma."
"Tell me in detail how you discovered that our father was gone," Bei Mingye asked. "Think back carefully and don't miss a single detail."
"Yes." Eunuch Cheng replied respectfully, "It all started after the Empress came to the Imperial Study."
"When the Empress and the Emperor were in the Imperial Study, I..." Eunuch Cheng said, glancing at Bei Ming Ye with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Just say whatever you want to say and see what this prince does."
In front of the empress dowager, Bei Ming Ye didn't like the way this servant looked at him.
It seems to be dread, it seems to be fear.
"I was guarding outside the door and heard the Emperor and the Empress arguing.
The voices were quiet, but one could tell they were arguing about the throne. The Queen was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's succession to the throne, and the Emperor, believing the harem was interfering in government affairs, was furious and even beat the Queen.
Then the queen's crying was heard, and she seemed to be saying that even if it was the eldest prince or the ninth prince, no matter which prince succeeded to the throne, it would be better than the crown prince.
He also said that the emperor was in his prime and did not need to abdicate the throne to the prince early.
If the emperor insisted on passing the throne to the prince, the queen would shave her head and become a nun to oppose the prince's succession to the throne... The two quarreled fiercely, and the emperor broke things. When the queen left, the servant planned to go to the room to check, but when he opened the door, he heard the emperor's voice,
The Emperor was scolding me and not letting me in... After about half an hour, I felt that there was no sound in the Imperial Study. When I went in again, I saw that the Emperor had fainted. He must have been angry..."
"When you speak, you need evidence." Feng Zhengmin felt uncomfortable after hearing this. It felt like all the blame was on his sister. He frowned and said, "Eunuch Cheng, don't be like the eldest prince and speak without thinking."
"How can you talk like that, Prime Minister Feng?" The eldest prince glanced at Feng Zhengmin with anger in his eyes.
"Enough!" The Queen Mother stopped them and looked at Cheng De, "Xiao Chengzi, continue."
"That night, I was worried about the Emperor, so the entire Imperial Study was staffed. There were three people inside the Imperial Study, three servants outside, and the Emperor's personal guards. We took turns on duty, but in the middle of the night, when the person on duty went in to change shifts, they discovered that the Emperor was missing."
Eunuch Cheng said, "After the Emperor disappeared, I immediately ordered a thorough inspection of all the doors and windows of the Imperial Study, but found nothing unusual. It was only just then that I discovered this that the Empress Dowager arrived."
Prime Minister Feng asked, "Where was the person on duty in the Imperial Study at that time?"
"Waiting outside."
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at the three young eunuchs who came in. "You were guarding the Imperial Study at the time, and the Emperor disappeared. Didn't you know?"
"I always thought the Emperor was asleep on the couch," one of them said. "Eunuch Cheng instructed us not to get too close to the Emperor's bed. We took this to heart, so we stayed three meters away."
"Three meters away? How can you see the emperor's face clearly? If the emperor wakes up, especially when he is weak, how can you take care of him in the first place?" Bei Ming Ye looked straight at the three people.
The three people looked at Eunuch Cheng.
Everyone looked at Eunuch Cheng.
"The Emperor has always done this," Eunuch Cheng said with a matter-of-fact expression. "This is the Emperor's personal order. Ever since I began serving the Emperor, whenever the Emperor sleeps alone, this is how it is done."
Bei Mingye looked at the three people again, "Are you sure you'll stay in the imperial study the whole time?"
"Yes. I dare not lie."
"Besides this, is there anything else you think is strange?" Lin Shangde asked.
"No."
"No, how could the emperor disappear in the imperial study for no reason? In my opinion, you guys are not the ones who can be blamed." Feng Zhengmin shouted anxiously.
Lin Shangde glanced at Feng Zhengmin with dissatisfaction, then said, "Don't be anxious. Think carefully and take your time."
"They look very unfamiliar to me. They're not regulars in the Imperial Study." Feng Zhengmin looked at them. "Tell me! Who ordered you to bring the Emperor there?"
The three eunuchs immediately looked horrified and said, "We were transferred from the Queen's Palace."
“…The Queen?”
"Call the Queen!" The Queen Mother frowned, her eyes sweeping from Bei Mingye's face to Feng Zhengmin.
Soon the queen arrived.
She was very surprised. Why were so many people looking at the emperor's imperial letter? What happened? Why didn't anyone tell her?
What about those eyeliners?
There is also his son Bei Mingye and his brother Feng Zhengmin.
The queen glanced at them, especially when her eyes fell on the three servants kneeling on the ground, her heart trembled violently.
