Chapter 150 Qichuan's Death
The emperor didn't care about any regulations or ceremonials, but it was a different matter when it came to the imperial concubine.
It took more than two months to prepare the items needed for the queen's coronation ceremony.
On the day of the empress's coronation ceremony, he personally offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country, praying to the gods to protect his queen.
The subsequent ceremonial procession, enthronement, conferring of titles, audience with the emperor, and issuing of imperial edicts continued without interruption until late at night.
Luo Fu sat on the bed, the phoenix crown and pearl curtain swaying in front of her.
The tall figure walking towards him seemed to be swaying.
He finally came over and raised his hand to push aside the bead curtain.
Her vision was no longer obstructed, and she could clearly see his handsome face and his narrow, deep, and loving eyes.
This man loves her with all his heart.
Murong Jin stroked her sparkling peach blossom eyes and sighed, "The Queen is so beautiful."
Love didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Murong Jin held her face in his hands: "What are you thinking about?"
Luo Fu raised her hand and covered his big hand: "I'm thinking of you."
Murong Jin's lips curled up, and his narrow phoenix eyes were filled with joy: "I'm right beside you, and you still miss me. It seems that the Queen loves me very much?"
Love didn't say anything, just rubbed her cheek against his palm.
The joy in Murong Jin's eyes turned into lust, and he lowered his head, ready to kiss those red lips.
"His Majesty!"
Suddenly someone called out from outside.
It was Gao Bin's voice.
Being disturbed at this time, Murong Jin's face instantly fell.
Luo Fu kissed the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Eunuch Gao must have something important to do. Go and see. I'll wait for you here."
Murong Jin's expression relaxed slightly. He pinched her earlobe, then stood up and walked out.
"What's up!"
Gao Bin knew that he was unhappy, so he didn't say anything more. He lowered his voice and said directly, "Your Majesty, someone has trespassed into Yongning Palace."
Murong Jin's unhappy and irritated expression gradually turned gloomy: "Have you caught the person?"
Gao Bin said, "They have been apprehended, and his accomplices have also been apprehended. They were the people planted in the palace by the Prince of Jin. The man's smooth journey was thanks to them."
Murong Jin stopped talking and strode out.
Yongning Palace, which had been abandoned for many years and was a forbidden area in the palace, was now brightly lit.
A man was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied.
Murong Jin walked over and slowly circled around him.
The man raised his head with great effort, saw the bright yellow hem, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty! I am innocent!"
Murong Jin squatted down in front of him and said, "It's you, the guard of Prince Duan. He recommended you to the Northern Pacification Division. Why are you in my mother's palace?"
When Qi Chuan heard that he recognized him and saw his gentle expression, he felt relieved and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am here to look for my sister. We have been separated for more than ten years, and I have been searching for her all this time. So when I heard that my sister was here, I rushed in in a moment of desperation. Your Majesty, please spare me. I know I was wrong."
Murong Jin looked at the old palace and asked, "What about your sister?"
Qi Chuan paused: "No, I don't know..."
He didn't know what was going on either.
Today is the ceremony of enthroning the Queen.
He also had the opportunity to join the ceremonial procession. In the evening, when the Queen's enthronement ceremony was over, the entire palace was filled with joy and the guards relaxed.
He took the opportunity to find it according to the drawings given by Pei Ji.
The journey was smooth and he thought he was about to be reunited with his sister.
But he searched the entire abandoned palace, and couldn't find his elder sister, let alone the palace maid named Qiuyun.
No one lives there at all.
When he was confused, someone suddenly came from outside and subdued him.
Then His Majesty came.
He really didn't know what was going on...
Murong Jin snorted and slowly stood up: "Why would that bastard Prince Jin send an idiot like you in here?"
Qichuan's face changed drastically. He worked in the Northern Pacification Office, so he naturally knew who the Prince of Jin was. He also knew that the Prince of Jin had been colluding with officials and attempting to rebel!
The emperor thought he was the King of Jin's man!
He struggled to get up and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this is unfair! I don't even know that Prince Jin, how could he have sent me? I really only came here to look for my sister!"
Murong Jin took the knife from the eunuch and stabbed it straight into Qichuan's chest.
Qi Chuan's body suddenly froze, staring blankly at the emperor's handsome face being sprayed with some bright red liquid.
These bright red liquids made him look even more handsome, but also more distorted. "Are you saying that my mother is your elder sister? Or do you think I'm as stupid as Prince Duan? Tonight is the day when the Queen and I get married. What do you want to do by targeting my mother? Are you going to let the Queen know that I personally sent my mother away? Oh! Really? Really!"
He was breathing heavily and looked crazy. The knife that was inserted into Qichuan's chest had already penetrated deep into the hilt.
"His Majesty!"
Gao Bin saw that Murong Jin was not in good condition and knew that his brain disease had relapsed. He quickly walked over and stretched out his arms to block his chest: "Your Majesty, don't fall for their tricks. The Queen is still waiting for you in the palace..."
Murong Jin was breathing heavily, and his hand holding the hilt of the knife loosened a little. He was stopped by Gao Bin and stepped back.
Qichuan lost his support and fell heavily into a pool of blood, feeling weak.
His eyes were already somewhat unfocused, and he struggled to speak as his lips moved: "Your Majesty... I, I really am not... Sister, Sister..."
He called out "Sister" twice and then fell silent.
No one paid attention to him.
Gao Bin supported Murong Jin and looked at his distorted face, feeling regretful.
With the Empress by his side, the Emperor had been doing fine for so long, and he thought his brain disease had healed.
I don’t want what happened tonight to still stimulate him and cause his brain disease to attack.
He really shouldn't have reported this!
"Your Majesty, please return to the Empress."
Gao Bin was anxious and regretful. He helped Murong Jin walk out quickly, helped him sit in the sedan chair, and went to Kunning Palace.
Murong Jin's forehead veins bulged, and he gasped, "Go, take a shower first! Don't let the Queen see me like this!"
Even in this situation, he is still thinking about the Empress.
Your Majesty!
Gao Bin sighed, but could only respond.
Murong Jin washed off the blood on his body, changed into a normal robe, and then returned to the inner hall of Kunning Palace.
The sweet floral scent enveloped him softly.
The queen, who was originally sitting on the bed wearing a phoenix crown, has taken off all the luxurious burdens and is now wearing casual clothes and a silk skirt. She is sitting in front of the dressing table and combing her long black hair.
When she heard the footsteps, she turned around immediately. Seeing that it was him coming back, she immediately smiled: "You're back."
She stood up and came over, then the smile on her face turned into a nervous look: "Why do you look so bad? Do you have a headache again? What happened?"
Murong Jin didn't say anything, but just leaned over and hugged her, buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath.
Her sweet scent seemed to have some magical power, quickly soothing his pain.
He hugged her tighter.
Love didn't know what happened, but she knew he was feeling uncomfortable, so she stopped asking and let him hold her.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Fu's cheeks turned red from being held tightly, and she was almost unable to breathe. Murong Jin finally loosened his hands slightly and lifted his face from her neck.
Love didn't have time to catch her breath and just looked at his face.
Seeing that the veins on his forehead had disappeared and his lips were no longer as dark as when he first came in, he felt a little relieved: "Chang Jin, what's wrong with you? How come you have a headache again after going out? Did someone make you angry?"
Murong Jin lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers: "He is the King of Jin's man. He is my royal brother. He knows where to poke me and it will hurt. But it doesn't matter. Since he showed up on his own, he won't survive."
Luo Fu also knew King Jin.
The prince who failed in his bid for the throne luckily escaped Chang Jin's pursuit and hid in southern Fujian.
There was no sound for a long time.
I didn’t expect that there would be action tonight!
Love had to cheer up.
She softly comforted Murong Jin, "Then, Your Majesty, please don't leave me before the King of Jin is executed. You'll feel better if I'm by your side."
Her words wiped away the sinisterness in Murong Jin's heart. He said nothing more and hugged her again.
Gao Bin, who was in the outer room, was finally relieved and quietly walked out of Kunning Palace.
An eunuch came to report, "Master, those people have confessed. That man is indeed one of the Prince of Jin's men in the Northern Pacification Division. His real name is Lu Chuan. He broke into Yongning Palace during the Empress's enthronement ceremony in order to find some... evidence to show the Empress, so as to alienate His Majesty and the Empress, and cause His Majesty to become seriously ill and die."
Gao Bin sneered, "It's so easy to place people in the Northern Pacification Division. There's one before the New Year, and another after the New Year. If we don't properly reorganize the Jinyiwei, I'm afraid they'll become the Jinyiwei of the Prince of Jin."
Gao Bin was also the governor of the East Factory, in charge of thousands of guards in the East Factory and the Jinyiwei of the Northern Pacification Office.
In his rage, the Northern Pacification Office also suffered a huge shock.
Qichuan’s direct general was implicated and imprisoned, and the pacification envoy was replaced.
Others will not be spared and will be thoroughly investigated by the East Factory.
When the Dongchang thugs were rampant in the Northern Pacification Office, Wen Xiangjun was still confused.
Qichuan, is the King of Jin's man?
And then, he just died like that?
She had a feeling it wasn't real.
Qichuan is a simple-minded man who lacks wit. How could he be involved with King Jin?
Are you afraid that you might be implicated or framed?
But who would plot against an insignificant little flag like him?
The Marquis of Wuqing?
I heard that Qichuan beat up Wuqing Hou's men.
Wu Qinghou is a very petty person, and he is vindictive. Qichuan is a member of the Imperial Guard, so it is difficult for him to touch him, so...
Is this really the case?
While Wen Xiangjun was in deep thought, Pei Ji was also full of thoughts.
The Prince of Jin did place someone in the Northern Pacification Office, but it was not Qichuan, but him.
After learning that Qichuan was Luo Fu's uncle, he had a plan in mind.
Regardless of whether Luo Zhen’s dream was true or false, he was unwilling to be just a small flag for the rest of his life.
I am even more unwilling to never see that Jiaojiao again.
Therefore, that tyrant must die.
He has a way to kill him.
He had such a serious brain disease. If Fu'er hadn't been by his side, he would have died long ago.
So Fu'er shouldn't be by his side.
Then just let him kill Fu'er's uncle.
To avenge his uncle's murder, he didn't believe Fu'er could still love him and stay with him!
He also wanted to use this incident to surrender and seek a better future.
So he took the initiative to find the King of Jin's people and surrendered himself.
Through the message passed by the informant, Prince Jin was persuaded to frame Qichuan at the cost of the lives of the few remaining palace servants in his palace.
Let Qichuan die at the hands of that tyrant.
Now it seems that the great thing has been accomplished.
Next, all we have to do is let Fu'er know the truth.
The Dongchang guards didn't know what Pei Ji was thinking, so they were quite polite to him.
Although Pei Ji and Qi Chuan were acquaintances, they knew that he was the Queen's brother-in-law.
The Queen Mother once protected him.
Now the Queen's sister often visits the Old Lady.
The old lady was the Empress Dowager's closest relative, and the East Factory officials did not dare to touch her.
When he was off duty in the evening, Pei Ji walked out of the Northern Pacification Office unharmed.
Wen Xiangjun followed him and said, "Brother Qi is gone just like that. Brother Pei, what do you think?"
Pei Ji stopped, turned around and said, "I don't believe it."
Wen Xiangjun was stunned.
She thought he would avoid suspicion, but she didn't expect that he would say such words when everyone in the Northern Pacification Office was in danger.
Pei Ji asked in return, "What about you? Do you believe it?"
Wen Xiangjun shook her head and became more friendly towards him: "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
Pei Ji said, "After the rumors die down, how about you and I investigate secretly?"
Wen Xiangjun actually looked at him with new eyes: "That's exactly what I meant!"
Pei Ji nodded, said nothing more, clasped his fists, and turned to leave.
When the storm has passed, Fuer should know the truth.
He returned home and went straight to Luo Zhen's yard.
Luo Zhen has been visiting the old lady every day recently, and her spirits have improved a lot.
Seeing Pei Ji again wasn't so daunting anymore.
She had just finished bathing and was sitting behind the dressing table drying her hair with a towel when she saw Pei Ji come in and asked, "No one comes to my house for no reason. What do you want me to do?"
Pei Ji didn't waste any words and said directly: "I want you to see Fu'er and tell her that your uncle was killed by the emperor."
Luo Zhen paused while wiping her hair. She turned around and asked, "What uncle? Who was killed by the emperor?"
Pei Ji suddenly laughed: "Qi Chuan, haven't you seen him?"
Luo Zhen thought of the man who helped without saying a word. Her expression was complicated: "He, he is Luo Fu's uncle? How... did you know? And how did he die?"
Pei Ji looked at her with a smile: "You don't need to worry about how I know this. You just need to know that I am doing this to align with your dream. You are quite smart. You should know what to do, right?"
Luo Zhen felt uneasy when she saw his smile, but he finally wanted to do something, and she couldn't help but support him.
"I understand. The old lady will be entering the palace in the next few days. I will find a way to follow her."
Pei Ji smiled and said, "Okay, go to bed early. I'll wait for you to come back with the victory report."
He still did not stay overnight. After explaining everything, he turned around and left.
Luo Zhen felt angry and a little scared.
In her dream, the tyrant's brutal acts were still vivid in her mind, and she had a deep fear of the palace.
Especially since what she was going to do would make the tyrant lose control.
Fortunately, she knew what kind of person Love was.
She was kind enough to tell her uncle about it, and she would definitely protect her.
And the old lady will protect her, so she won't die.
But this was a matter that could potentially cost one's life, yet Pei Ji just moved his mouth.
He knew that she wanted to be queen and wanted a child even more, but he remained indifferent.
Not even a consolation.
This beast!
