Chapter 46 My Mind Reading Cheat
Outside the palace, the Qi family was in chaos.
The guards sent out from the palace directly surrounded the entire Qi Mansion. The Qi family members did not understand why at first, until they heard that Mr. Qi was imprisoned for assassinating the emperor. Everyone was shocked to the point of almost losing their souls.
No one would have thought that the timid and cowardly second girl would dare to do such a treasonous thing, assassination, which is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family!
Qi Mingyuan was so frightened that he went to the palace to plead guilty that night, but Helian Yue did not see him and left him kneeling outside the palace gate all night.
The next day, the Secret Guard Camp presented Qi Guiren and Yu Chuhe's secret memorial to Helian Yue.
The Secret Guard's spies are spread all over the capital, and investigating a person's life only takes a night.
Another reason why it was so smooth was that the death of the woman named Yu Chuhe was related to another person whom the emperor had previously ordered to be investigated.
According to the secret memorial, Yu Chuhe was an artist who made a living by performing arts. The dancer who attempted to assassinate Yu Chuhe at the family banquet that day was her junior sister. A year ago, due to the palace election, the Qi family, fearing the reputation of being a tyrant, could not bear to send their little daughter to the palace to suffer, so they brought Qi Guiren who lived far away in Beishan back home. Qi Guiren was unwilling to enter the palace, and wrote to Yu Chuhe for help, hoping that she would help her leave.
Yu Chuhe regarded Qi Guiren as her own sister, and brought her junior sister to the capital at night to try to rescue Qi Guiren. Unexpectedly, because of her beauty, she was noticed by the son of Duke Dingshan and forcibly abducted. When she was sent out, she was already a corpse.
The junior sister was extremely sad, but could do nothing because the son of Duke Dingshan used the emperor's name when he captured people. He claimed that he was collecting beauties from all over the world for the emperor and sending them to the palace. It happened to be a palace election at that time, and there were rumors about the tyrant's atrocities, so the junior sister believed it to be true.
After that, Qi Guiren learned of Yu Chuhe's death and was filled with hatred. He decided to enter the palace to avenge his sister. The junior sister also entered the palace under Qi Guiren's arrangement.
This is the whole truth about Qi Guiren's intention to assassinate Helian Yue.
Helian Yue never thought that he was the one being blamed. After reading what was written in the secret memorial, his face became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it. He raised his hand and threw the memorial to the ground.
"What a mess!"
This is a complete mess!
Helian Yue was always restrained and rarely showed anger. Fu Tai was shocked and was wondering what to do when Helian Yue seemed to calm down again and ordered,
"Go, bring Mr. Qi here."
Fu Tai hurriedly agreed and was about to leave when he heard Helian Yue say, "Wait, bring Lang Guiren over as well."
Although everything Guiren Qi did was caused by his own fault, nothing in the world is absolute, and who can be sure that there are no other forces behind it? Helian Yue still decided to bring Si Linglong, the mind-reading plug-in, along.
Fu Tai was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice. He understood why he called Mr. Qi, but why did he call Mr. Lang?
Although he was confused in his heart, he did not dare to ask more questions, so Fu Tai hurriedly asked someone to pass on the message.
At this moment, a man dressed as a eunuch came in with a bowl of porridge and whispered, "Your Majesty, please have some food."
Helian Yue was worried about something, so he just waved his hand to put it aside. But the next second, he suddenly felt that the eunuch's voice was not right, so he immediately reached out and grabbed the other party, "Who is it?!"
The young eunuch was frightened, and his hair fell down like a waterfall, revealing Bai Qianqian's soft and fair face.
Helian Yue was stunned for a moment.
Bai Qianqian thought that the emperor was impressed by her.
Because of the frustration she had felt these days, Bai Qianqian was eager to gain Helian Yue's favor, but she had never found a way. Coincidentally, yesterday she accidentally heard a method of cooking porridge with bamboo strainer water, and also accidentally captured the assassin who had committed the assassination that day.
Bai Qianqian felt that the emperor should be most relaxed when he caught the assassin, so she decided to come and invite him for favor. In order to ensure her success, Bai Qianqian even used the method she used to attract the prince, dressing herself up as a little eunuch to create surprise and interest for the emperor.
Bai Qianqian was originally very nervous. After all, she had never looked down upon such means in the past. However, at this moment, seeing the emperor's "stunned" look, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but feel happy that she had made the right bet!
With a blushing face, she pretended to be frightened and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. I was just worried about you and wanted to see..."
However, before Bai Qianqian could finish her words, Helian Yue's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Before she could react, there was already a rage as strong as thunder. "I don't know what to say!"
Helian Yue was indeed stunned just now, because he did not expect that a concubine would dare to do such a bold thing!
Which noble lady would use such an unethical method?
Bai Qianqian used it!!
Helian Yue was already angry because of the secret memorial. When he saw Bai Qianqian dressed like this, he was furious and shouted, "Someone come here!"
When Fu Tai came in, he was shocked to see Concubine Lian, who was dressed as a eunuch but was obviously frightened.
Before he could ask more questions, he heard the emperor pointing at Concubine Lian and saying, "Concubine Lian entered Xuanzheng Palace without permission and plotted against her will. From today on, she will be demoted to Lian Shurong and banished to the cold palace. I don't want to see her again!"
When Bai Qianqian heard that she was going to be sent to the cold palace again, she was really dumbfounded.
And this time, not only was she banished to the cold palace, but her rank was also demoted!
How can this be?!
Bai Qianqian wanted to beg for mercy, but seeing Helian Yue's expression, Futai didn't dare to say a word. He hurriedly asked someone to take Concubine Lian away, and urged Lang Guiren to come quickly.
Lang Guiren, please help the emperor calm down, otherwise this is too scary.
