Chapter 410 Impersonation
It was already late at night when Xie Guimo returned to Prince Jingyang's Mansion.
The room was brightly lit. Xie Guimo walked in and saw Chen Tang leaning on the big pillow. He asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"
How could she sleep at such an exciting time? Even if Xie Guimo came back at dawn, she would wait until dawn.
Chen Tang looked impatient, "Is everything going smoothly?"
Xie Guimo sat down beside the bed, "Concubine Ye was banished to the cold palace, and Prince Yu is on his way to raid the Marquis of Changping's mansion."
Very satisfying!
Chen Tang had been looking forward to this day since the day she was reborn. Finally, she had waited for it and felt relaxed all over.
It's a pity that she is still in confinement and cannot go out, otherwise she would definitely go to the palace in person to see how Concubine Ye's evil deeds were exposed and how she was condemned to eternal damnation by the Emperor.
After seeing the result, Chen Tang felt relieved, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness and yawned continuously. Xie Guimo said, "Go to bed first. I'll take a shower and come back soon."
Chen Tang really couldn't bear it anymore. Xie Guimo didn't want to sleep on the bed, so she went to sleep on her own first.
Xie Guimo went to the bathroom and took a shower. When he came back, Chen Tang was already asleep. He glanced at the small couch and decisively chose to go to bed.
But he soon regretted it. Chen Tang was sleeping soundly, leaning into his arms. He hadn't touched Chen Tang for more than three months. God knew how hard it was for him to endure. Thinking that he had to endure it for another month, the gentleman's eyes were filled with resentment.
Here, Xie Guimo hugged Chen Tang and fell asleep quickly. Over there, Prince Yu was working hard. He led people to surround the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, no, it was the Earl of Changping's Mansion.
However, Prince Yu enjoyed it. Confiscating property was a lucrative job that others could not even hope for. But Xie Guimo was different. He would rather go home to be with the Crown Princess and leave this job to him.
He had been fighting with the King of Qi for so many years, and he had no interest in raiding other people's houses, but for the Changping Marquis's Mansion, the King of Yu had the best chance.
The personal guards lit torches, illuminating the Changping Marquis's mansion as bright as day.
Earl Changping was awakened from his sleep by the sound of banging on the door. The maid told him that Prince Yu had brought people to search the house. Earl Changping thought he was dreaming. When he went out, he saw Prince Yu and his men outside the door. Earl Changping's face was pale.
The Changping Marquis's mansion was large and wealthy, with countless rare treasures in the storehouse. The house was searched until dawn, and Prince Yu did not even have time to attend the morning court.
Prince Yu, "..."
No wonder Xie Guimo threw this task to him, it is really tiring.
Looking at the things that were constantly being moved out of the warehouse of the Earl of Changping, Prince Yu selected some, had them packed into boxes, and sent them to the Prince of Jingyang's Mansion for Xie Guimo.
The person didn't come, but the benefits could not be missed. Without Xie Guimo's help, he didn't know when he could overthrow the King of Qi. No, he was not sure whether he could overthrow the King of Qi.
The Taoist priest said that he wanted to worship the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Jingyang, and he dared not forget it for a day.
Prince Yu ordered people to pack eight large boxes in one breath, and then the corners of his mouth and eyes twitched. If we talk about a smart person, it has to be Xie Guimo. There is no need to be tired. If Xie Guimo had come to search the house himself, he probably wouldn't have taken so much.
As for the civil and military officials, no minister knew what happened in the palace at night, but at dawn, those who were well-informed knew it. When they learned that Prince Yu had brought the emperor's personal guards to raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight, the Prince of Qi's party received the news, but they were frightened on the spot.
The Yu Wang party wanted to know what happened, so they went to the palace in advance to gather information, and the Qi Wang party became even more panicked.
Civil and military officials arrived two quarters of an hour earlier than usual and gathered outside the Council Hall, whispering and discussing matters.
However, there were also some people who did not arrive early, such as the prince, old prince Ning, Marquis Pingyuan and others, who arrived at their place at a leisurely pace, just like usual.
Prince Yu was still in the Changping Marquis's Mansion. Prince Yu's party wanted to find anyone to ask, but couldn't find anyone. They couldn't ask the Queen, as they couldn't enter the important harem. Prince Qi's party couldn't find anyone to ask either. Prince Qi did enter the palace, but he went to Changchun Palace. The palace people didn't know what happened. They only knew that Concubine Ye had angered the Emperor and was sent to the cold palace.
The King of Qi's heart was trembling like a sieve, and he suspected that his mother had committed regicide.
But if they wanted to kill the king, not only would the Changping Marquis's mansion be searched overnight, but even he would not be spared.
What exactly happened? !
The King of Qi could only go to the cold palace to ask Concubine Ye.
The emperor usually goes to bed early. Last night, he was invited by Xie Guimo and Prince Yu to watch the fun in Changchun Palace, so he returned to Hanyuan Palace very late. In addition, the emperor was angry because he had been deceived for twenty years, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
He went to bed late and got up late. The emperor was angry and Eunuch Xi did not dare to wake him up, so he sent someone to the Council Hall to tell the emperor that he went to bed late last night and might take another half an hour to attend the morning court, and asked all the ministers to wait patiently.
After half an hour, the emperor had not yet gotten up, so Eunuch Xi stepped forward and called the emperor to get up. There were so many ministers, and he couldn't keep them waiting. He had already called the emperor half an hour late, and the emperor couldn't be angry with him.
The emperor woke up with a slight headache, but he still went to court.
Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, all the civil and military officials became even more uneasy.
Although there were many civil and military officials in the court, few dared to ask questions to the emperor when he was angry.
Old Prince Ning asked everyone's puzzlement, "What happened in the palace yesterday? Why was Concubine Ye banished to the cold palace, and why was the Changping Earl's mansion raided overnight?"
The emperor said, "More than 20 years ago, Concubine Ye murdered General Ye's daughter, impersonated her and entered the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and then entered the palace."
There was deathly silence in the Council Hall.
Everyone was shocked by the news.
Concubine Ye was not the niece of the Duke of Zhenguo, and was even the murderer who killed the Duke of Zhenguo's niece...
However, this happened more than 20 years ago, but it was still found out. I don’t know who did it, but it takes real skill.
But the Emperor doted on Concubine Ye, and this incident had happened so many years ago, so the Emperor could have suppressed it if he wanted to. He did not banish Concubine Ye to the cold palace, and he did not even raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight.
The ministers looked at each other, thinking that things might not be that simple.
Then the emperor continued, "Noble Consort Ye and the Earl of Changping poisoned the Duke of Zhenguo and his son as well as Princess Jingyang, causing them to die tragically on the battlefield."
Gasps came one after another.
They all knew that Princess Jingyang had been poisoned for ten years and almost died from the poison. However, they did not expect that it was Concubine Ye who poisoned Princess Jingyang. Even the death of Duke Zhenguo and his son on the battlefield was the work of Concubine Ye and Earl Changping.
The Duke of Zhenguo was a brave and skilled warrior. His death on the battlefield was a huge loss to the Great Qi State. It led to the loss of several cities. It took Prince Jingyang several months of fighting to recapture the cities.
No wonder the emperor was so angry that he wanted to raid the Changping Marquis's mansion overnight. They were filled with indignation just by listening to it. Such a cruel and ruthless person would never be relieved unless he was cut into pieces.
The party members of Prince Yu sympathized with the Zhenguo Mansion and invited a wolf into the house, but Concubine Ye and Earl Changping committed such a crime and were doomed to die. Prince Qi could not even save himself and had no chance to compete with Prince Yu for the position of crown prince.
The Qi Wang's party members were so scared that they were about to hit the target with their legs. If they knew that Concubine Ye was a fake and that the Duke of Zhenguo and his son were killed by Concubine Ye, they would never support the Qi Wang even if they were beaten to death, and would never seek the merit of following the dragon.
When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. They are finished.
