Chapter 507 Doubts
How could Zhao Yi not know what the Emperor of Northern Qi was thinking?
The wise king is dead.
Now he is the only son left.
The Emperor of Northern Qi was concerned about his background and was unwilling to let him inherit the throne.
However, the Emperor of Northern Qi was unwilling to adopt an heir to the throne from the royal family.
After all, the adopted child is not his bloodline.
The Emperor of Northern Qi urgently summoned him to the palace, simply to discuss the matter of attacking the Great Zhou, to test whether he was on the side of the Great Zhou, or wanted to seize the throne of Northern Qi and then annex the Great Zhou.
However, he didn't want to enter the palace at this moment.
Ever since the incident in Yongqing County broke out, he has been busy running around on the emperor's orders and has never had a good rest.
Zhao Yi said wearily, "When you go back, tell them that my injury has worsened, triggering my old illness, and I've already fallen asleep."
Jiang Chao said "Hey" and turned to reply to the person who came from the palace.
Shen Qingtan pulled Zhao Yi's sleeve and led him into the house: "It's okay for you not to go to the palace today, right?"
She knew that Zhao Yi had a methodical approach and would not act recklessly.
He may have some plans for not entering the palace tonight.
only……
Shen Qingtan said worriedly, "I'm afraid His Majesty's temper will become unpredictable, and he'll get angry with you tomorrow for disobeying him."
"It's okay." Zhao Yi let her lead him to the inner room, and naturally opened his arms: "I still have some value to him, he won't make things difficult for me."
"That's right." Shen Qingtan told Tingxue to prepare some hot water while taking off his outer robe. "When the news of the virtuous king's death reached the palace, His Majesty was so shocked that he fainted. When he heard that he had woken up, he immediately summoned the Imperial Preceptor."
"The Imperial Preceptor fell ill after returning to his residence after his last visit to the palace. His Majesty's usual behavior would have been to send his trusted aides and the imperial physician to the Imperial Preceptor's residence upon hearing of the Imperial Preceptor's serious illness. Unexpectedly, this time, he actually went there himself."
"It turns out he's always been suspicious. Now the court situation isn't favorable to him. The Imperial Tutor, who has always assisted him, has been ill lately and has repeatedly rejected his proposals. I'm afraid he's been suspicious of the Imperial Tutor for a long time."
"Even if he's a bit dumb, he can guess that the Xian Wang's misfortune was caused by a spy. The timing of the Imperial Preceptor's illness is too coincidental. He must have suspected the Imperial Preceptor and went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence in person to find out the truth."
Zhao Yi knew that the imperial tutor was planning a big game. From the fact that the imperial tutor was pushing Feng Zhihuan's case behind the scenes, he had already tailored an ending for the wise king.
He couldn't help but wonder about the real motive behind the Emperor's actions.
With the methods of the imperial tutor, he could have made the virtuous king die in a thousand ways without letting the Northern Qi emperor suspect him, but he was willing to take the risk of being exposed and let the Northern Qi emperor personally send the virtuous king to his death.
Could it be that the Imperial Teacher has a blood feud with the Emperor of Northern Qi?
He lurked beside the Northern Qi Emperor just to seek revenge?
The Emperor of Northern Qi had always been in poor health and could not stand any stimulation. In order to support the virtuous king to ascend the throne, he removed all obstacles for the virtuous king, even if it meant killing his own son.
However, the imperial tutor designed a plan for the Northern Qi emperor to send the virtuous king to hell with his own hands. This incident was a fatal blow to him.
He could not think of any other reason except deep hatred.
The next moment, other doubts arose in Zhao Yi's heart.
If the imperial tutor had a blood feud with the Emperor of Northern Qi, why did he support him?
After all, he was also the son of the Emperor of Northern Qi.
"Husband." Shen Qingtan held a cup of warm tea in her hand and gently called Zhao Yi, who was lost in thought: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Yi came back to his senses and was about to reply to her when he caught a glimpse of a wooden box on the Duobao Pavilion, which looked like a new item.
He pointed to the wooden box and said, "I wonder what's in it."
