520 The Queen's Plot, the Emperor's Fury (Fourth Update)
The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. The Queen has always hated Feng Qingchen. When the Emperor ordered Princess Anping to marry to Beiling, her hatred reached its peak. She wished she could have Feng Qingchen executed by slow slicing.
In the eyes of the Queen, Feng Qingchen is a disaster star. If it weren’t for Feng Qingchen, her Anping would not have to go to Beiling to marry.
Not to mention the empress's legitimate daughter, even the daughters of concubines rarely married off. Most princesses who married off were selected from the royal family and were named princesses. Looking at the four countries, Princess Anping was the first and only empress's daughter to marry off.
Besides, Feng Qingchen was originally the fiancée that Dong Ling Ziluo didn't want. He accused Feng Qingchen of losing her virginity and now wants to marry her back. Doesn't this mean that everything they did and said was wrong? Dong Ling Ziluo is willing, but the Queen is not.
She couldn't afford to lose face. There was more than one Feng Qingchen in the world. There were many women who could help Dong Ling Ziluo and who were better than Feng Qingchen.
"Humph, Wang Jinling and Yuwen Yuanhua, does Feng Qingchen really think that these two people can be trusted? The Wang family will not participate in the fight for the throne. The Wang family never cares who sits on the throne. They only care about who can give them the greatest benefit. If you want the Wang family to contribute, it is better to marry a girl from the Wang family than to take Feng Qingchen as a concubine.
As for Yuwen Yuanhua, this man has been disliked by the emperor. How can he allow others to sleep soundly under his bed? Yuwen Yuanhua has violated the emperor's taboo, and he will not have a good end. Don't think that the emperor will let him go just by hiding in the North Gate. The emperor will kill him sooner or later, and Feng Qingchen will not have a good end either."
"Your Majesty is right." The nanny was a tactful person and stopped persuading her.
"Feng Qingchen is a beauty who brings disaster to the court and causes quarrels between uncles and nephews in the royal family. Even the emperor can tolerate such a woman, but the people of the world cannot. Feng Qingchen will not have a good ending. I am sending her away in advance to preserve the reputation of the Feng family. I am also repaying Madam Feng for saving my life." Thinking of this, the queen felt a little more at ease.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful." The nanny said respectfully.
The queen showed joy on her face, but her happiness did not last long, as the eunuch came to report that the person who went to the zoo to inquire about the news had arrived.
"Hurry, announce it." The queen walked back quickly and sat down quickly to hide her uneasiness.
"Greetings, mother..."
Before the eunuch could finish his words, the queen interrupted him: "Okay, what happened in the zoo?"
"To reply to your Majesty, the zoo has been closed. I have tried my best but cannot find out the situation in the zoo..."
"What? The zoo is closed. Who gave the order?" The queen was furious. The prince simply didn't have the courage to do that. Zi Luo would never do such an overstep, and no one else would do that either.
The eunuch was so frightened that his heartbeat went out of control. He kowtowed quickly and said, "It was Uncle Nine. Uncle Nine suddenly showed up at the Beast Garden for some unknown reason. As soon as he arrived, he ordered the garden to be sealed off. Only people were allowed to enter but not leave. I spent a lot of effort to find out that Uncle Nine had detained the Crown Prince, Prince Luo, Crown Prince Lei, Young Master Ye, and Miss Su Wan. He said he wanted to thoroughly investigate the incident of the giant python appearing at the Beast Garden."
Snap...the nail on the Queen's little finger was broken.
"Have you found out who was injured?" The Ninth Prince made such a big fuss, could it be that Feng Qingchen was bitten by a poisonous snake?
Thinking of this, the queen calmed down again. As long as Feng Qingchen died, everything would be easy.
"I don't know." The eunuch lowered his head and trembled.
"You useless servant, you can't even get any information. What's the point of keeping you?" The queen was angry. She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at the eunuch.
The young eunuch panicked and shrank back, but thinking of the Queen's temper, he endured his fear and knelt down, closed his eyes, and endured the blow.
Snap...
The cup fell on the red carpet and rolled several times. Not even a corner was broken, but the eunuch's forehead was broken. Blood flowed down his cheek, but the young eunuch didn't even dare to cry out in pain.
The queen was annoyed: "Go away..."
“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty…” The young eunuch, having saved his life, ran out quickly.
The queen was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Mammy, please deal with all the people. I don't want this matter to involve me."
"Please rest assured, Madam."
The old nanny left. That night, several maids in the palace jumped into a well, several young eunuchs offended the nobles and were beaten to death, and several guards died suddenly...
Regarding the matter of the Beast Garden, the Queen did not alarm the Emperor. She directly issued an edict, reprimanding the Ninth Prince for his behavior and asking him to lift the ban on the Beast Garden and release Crown Prince Lei, Young Master Ye, and Su Wan. However, the Ninth Prince detained both the people and the edict.
"Ninth Prince, aren't you afraid that the Queen will sue you for disrespect?" Feng Qingchen was increasingly confused about what kind of person the Ninth Prince was. Being so arrogant, wasn't it obvious that he was giving the Queen a handle?
"She can't even take care of herself, what can she tell me?" The Ninth Prince looked as steady as a rock.
Seeing this, Feng Qingchen said nothing. Seeing the Ninth Prince's expression, he should have a trump card, but...
They interrogated for a long time, but none of the people involved in the case confessed. If this continued, it would be extremely disadvantageous to them.
The best time to solve a case is within 24 hours. If it exceeds 24 hours, the clues and evidence will be destroyed. The longer they delay, the less they can find.
Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Uncle worriedly. What happened today was an accident, and it happened so suddenly that the Ninth Uncle might not be able to prepare in advance.
"Okay, don't worry. Even if the matter of the Beast Garden cannot be uncovered, the Queen will not be able to sleep well tonight. Since you are worried, let's continue to investigate the case. We have one night, so there is no rush..." The Ninth Prince saw that Feng Qingchen was a little tired and wanted to let her rest.
But seeing how worried she was, I knew that if I didn't explain things clearly, she would definitely not be able to sleep.
Just as Feng Qingchen guessed, the Queen was not angry when she heard that her people were detained. Instead, she put on her formal clothes with a smile.
"Let's go. I want to see the emperor."
The lights were on in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The emperor summoned his important ministers to discuss important matters. The atmosphere in the hall was tense. Several ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak. The emperor had a gloomy face and did not say a word.
When the young eunuch came in, he didn't even dare to breathe. The emperor's personal eunuch saw this and walked over quietly, scolding him in a low voice: "You tactless dog, don't you see that the emperor is discussing matters with the others? Don't disturb him if there is nothing to do."
The young eunuch said with a bitter face: "Eunuch, the Queen said that she has something important to report, and I dare not not report it."
"Empress? Okay, you can go out now." The eunuch walked back to the emperor with a gloomy face and whispered in his ear.
"Queen? She is well-informed. As soon as I ordered people to arrest someone, she received the news. Well, my good queen!" The emperor's anger finally erupted at this moment.
"Let the queen come in. I want to ask her how I treated her so badly that she dared to do such a thing."
Several old ministers didn't even dare to breathe. They lowered their heads, stared at the tip of their shoes and didn't dare to look up. At this time, anyone who opened his mouth to plead for the queen would be a fool.
"Empress Xuan is here to see you!"
"Empress Xuan is here to see you!"
…
The queen had a graceful smile on her face, but she didn't know that the emperor's wrath was waiting for her in the Hall of Supreme Harmony...
