Chapter 143 Doubts
"Your Majesty is right. I will spend more time with you in Yu's study in the future."
As the crown prince, Chu Chengyi often helped Emperor Yongping read memorials in the study.
Now it wasn't surprising that he wanted to stay in Yu's study longer.
"It's good to have Shu'er accompany me, you can go and do what you need to do."
Emperor Yongping would not be fooled by Chu Chengyi.
Wouldn't it be nice for him to enjoy all the good things his granddaughter would bring out from time to time by himself?
Why let your son get in trouble here?
Those memorials can also be read if they are sent to the Eastern Palace.
"I will listen to you, Father. Once the Murong family's affairs are settled, I will come to help you review the memorials."
Chu Chengyi thought of the Marquis of Loyalty and his family who were still suffering in Youzhou, and decided not to tease Emperor Yongping anymore.
The old man didn't seem to be affected by Yue Fei, so he felt relieved.
"Go ahead and get things done properly."
Emperor Yongping waved his hand, and Chu Chengyi did not stay any longer.
He also collected some evidence from the case five years ago.
However, to overturn the verdict would mean slapping Emperor Yongping in the face.
This does require some thought.
"Shu'er, let the emperor take a look at what happened last night."
Not long after Chu Chengyi left, Emperor Yongping asked Chu Qinshu to show him the video of Concubine Yue hanging herself.
In that book, Concubine Yue did not hang herself.
Instead, he used some leverage to gain many benefits from the Empress.
He wanted to know why Yue Fei would do such a stupid thing.
“Ahh.”
[The hanging Yue Fei is not a pretty sight, so please don't watch it, my Lord.]
Chu Qinshu didn't see what Yue Fei looked like after she hanged herself, but she knew it wasn't a good look just by thinking about it.
"Nothing, Your Majesty, just look at what happened before she hanged herself."
Emperor Yongping patted Chu Qinshu's swaddling clothes, signaling her not to worry.
"oh oh."
[Okay, I will show it to the Emperor now.]
The video could not be played in a few moments, so Chu Qinshu used the "consciousness projection symbol" to let Emperor Yongping see as much as possible.
She also knew what Emperor Yongping wanted to see, so she showed him the part where Chu Chengsong met Concubine Yue as well.
"Lin Fu, go and carefully examine the senior palace maid named Shuixian who is by Concubine Yue's side."
After watching the video, Emperor Yongping easily found the suspicious points.
Because Concubine Yue's death was unnatural, all the servants in her palace were taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and interrogated overnight when the incident happened.
So far, no valuable clues have been obtained.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
After Lin Fu reported back, he hurried downstairs to do his work.
Although the harem has been unstable in recent years, this is the first time such a big thing has happened.
“Ahh.”
【Grandpa, drink coconut milk. 】
Seeing that Emperor Yongping had a frown on his face after watching the video, Chu Qinshu consciously went into the space to get a coconut, cracked it open and took it out.
"Shu'er, be good."
Emperor Yongping was stunned for a moment when he saw the "wooden bowl" of water suddenly appearing on the swaddling clothes in his arms.
The inside of the bowl is as white and smooth as bone china, but the outside is green and looks like fruit peel.
What new species is this?
Of course, the most common one is the nest of hearts.
Whenever he was in a bad mood, his granddaughter would take out rare things for him to try.
He knew that his granddaughter did this to make him happy.
He loves his only granddaughter, but why shouldn't his granddaughter love him?
“Oh.”
[My Lord, coconut milk is sweet and fragrant. After drinking it, you can hear the sound of the waves, which can calm your mood. ]
Chu Qinshu coaxed Emperor Yongping obediently.
Apart from anything else, just listening to her soft and sweet voice can instantly make people feel seven points better.
"Okay, Your Majesty, drink it and try it."
Emperor Yongping put the coconut on the table, picked up the spoon and drank the coconut juice.
To be honest, I was a little uncomfortable with the first bite.
But after drinking a few more sips, I could indeed taste a kind of distant sweetness.
“Ahh.”
【Your Majesty, let Shu'er have a taste.】
Chu Qinshu looked at Emperor Yongping's throat swallowing and her mouth became chewy again.
Saliva kept flowing out and soon wet his chin.
"Okay, Your Majesty, let Shu'er have a taste of it."
Emperor Yongping had gotten used to his granddaughter's gluttony.
Seeing that the coconut milk was almost the same as water, he dripped two drops into her little mouth and let her taste it.
"Ah, ah, ah."
[Very sweet and delicious. ]
Chu Qinshu smacked her lips and made some moaning sounds while interacting with Emperor Yongping.
After drinking a coconut, she mixed about a spoonful of it.
“Ahh.”
[Grandpa, the white layer inside the coconut is the coconut meat. It is not easy to take out, so I will keep it for now. I will make coconut bread for you when I grow up.]
Chu Qinshu had her fill of talking nonsense, and Emperor Yongping's mood also improved noticeably.
"Okay, Your Majesty, please listen to Shu'er."
Emperor Yongping had never seen a coconut before, so he had no idea how to take out the coconut meat.
When Chu Qinshu said that she would use coconut meat to make delicious food for him in the future, there was no reason for him to disagree.
"Your Majesty, Narcissus...bit her tongue and committed suicide."
Lin Fu came back very quickly, but of course he didn't bring any good news.
Narcissus committed suicide, wasn't it just a case of trying to cover up one's own misfortune?
"Has the Fourteenth Prince entered the palace today?"
Emperor Yongping did not ask about Narcissus anymore, but asked about Chu Chengsong.
Chu Chengsong did not speak up for Yue Fei, nor did he ask him to find out the truth.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
"In reply to the emperor, the Fourteenth Prince and his family entered the palace early in the morning and are currently guarding the coffin for Concubine Yue in Yilan Palace."
Lin Fu reported truthfully.
In my heart, I just felt that Concubine Yue's death in such a way brought shame to the royal family, and I felt sorry for Emperor Yongping.
"Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of it first."
Emperor Yongping spoke in a flat tone, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Lin Fu agreed and went out to run errands again.
Then, Emperor Yongping patted Chu Qinshu to coax her to sleep while he began his daily review of memorials.
"Little Hulu, do you think my Royal Highness wants to investigate the cause of Yue Fei's death or does he not want to investigate the cause of Yue Fei's death?"
Chu Qinshu quickly closed her eyes and entered the space.
In fact, if you want to find out the cause of Yue Fei's death, you can just watch the video.
But she was unsure of Emperor Yongping's attitude and could only make wild guesses.
"Master, this little gourd doesn't understand."
Little Gourd shook his head to show that he didn't understand.
"He has even sent people to interrogate Concubine Yue's maids. He must be trying to investigate, right?"
Chu Qinshu asked again.
"Master, I really don't know, why don't I..."
The little gourd wrinkled its eyebrows, as if thinking about how to help its master.
Alas, in the past it could complete its tasks by just lying flat.
Why is this owner so difficult to lead?
It was already tiring enough taking care of the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard and harvesting crops from the ancient trees.
Now it has to use its brain to come up with a solution.
"Master, is there a possibility that your Royal Master wants to verify what was written in the blood letter written by Concubine Yue?"
Little Gourd didn't come up with a solution, but it provided a new idea.
"The queen was originally a fake queen, someone appointed by the emperor himself, there is no need to verify it.
The evidence that the Empress had gotten Magistrate Sun to do something bad was already in the hands of the Emperor when he arrested the Empress. "
Chu Qinshu remembered that Xiao Hulu had told her the contents of Yue Fei's blood letter.
In fact, these are of no significance to Emperor Yongping.
"Master, you forgot one thing. Concubine Yue said she knew the secret of Fenghua Palace."
Xiao Hulu watched the video and remembered the contents of the blood letter.
