Chapter 24 Taking the Blame
Luo Qinghan pursed his lips slightly.
He should have known that his mother didn't care whether he was poisoned or not, or whether he was living a good or bad life.
The only thing she cares about is the position of crown prince.
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes, hiding the changes in his emotions, and said respectfully: "I have sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."
Queen Qin looked at him coldly: "Will there be any results tomorrow?"
"able."
"You were raised by me. I have invested so much effort in you. You know it in your heart. Don't let me down, understand?"
"I know."
"Back off."
"Please have a good rest, mother. I will take my leave."
The conversation between mother and son ended here.
There wasn't even a simple greeting during the whole process. It was so cold and made people feel like they were not a living person but an object.
After leaving the Pepper Room, Luo Qinghan exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to exhale all the cold air he had just inhaled.
He returned to the East Palace and asked people to call all his confidants.
Eunuch Chang reminded quietly, "Your Highness, you haven't had lunch yet, would you like to have lunch first?"
"No need, I'm not hungry."
The position of crown prince may seem glorious, but it is actually extremely risky.
As the crown prince, he should let more people see his talents, but he cannot be too close to the court officials, so as not to arouse the suspicion of his father.
Therefore, Luo Qinghan actually does not have many people he can use. In addition to the Prince's Grand Tutor, Prince's Grand Preceptor, and Prince's Grand Guardian who teach him, there are also the Prince's Junior Tutor, Prince's Junior Preceptor, Prince's Junior Guardian, as well as Zhao Xian, the commander of the Yulin Army, and young prince Nie Changping.
The first seven people are all in the same boat with the prince. They have common interests and must stand on the side of the prince.
Only the young prince Nie Changping is different. The reason he can stand in the prince's camp is entirely because of their friendship as they grew up together.
He and Luo Qinghan are very good friends.
In order to find out the truth of the poisoning as soon as possible, Luo Qinghan called them all to the East Palace.
The Prince's Grand Tutor is old and in poor health, often sick, and has rarely come to the palace recently. He did not come today, but he asked his eldest son to come, which also showed his support for the prince.
A group of people discussed the matter in the study.
Upon learning that the Queen had asked the Prince to find out the result tomorrow, Nie Changping could not help but sigh.
"The Queen has always set high standards for the Crown Prince."
The Prince's tutor said, "This shows that the Queen thinks highly of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Nie Changping sneered and showed disdain for it.
He had been playing with Luo Qinghan since he was a child and knew a lot about Luo Qinghan. The Queen Qin seemed to have high hopes for Luo Qinghan, but in fact she just wanted to use Luo Qinghan to gain the position of crown prince.
Luo Qinghan's biological mother died when he was very young, and he was sent to the Pepper Palace to be raised by Queen Qin.
Queen Qin had a miscarriage in her early years, which hurt her body and she could no longer get pregnant and have children. Luo Qinghan happened to have lost his biological mother, so he had no one to rely on in the harem and could only rely on her. So she did her best to train Luo Qinghan and help him win the position of crown prince.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are just using each other.
Luo Qinghan was listening to Zhao Xian’s work report.
"I have checked it out. It's not the wine that is poisonous, but the wine glass. The wine glass was poisoned. So out of the wine poured from the same wine pot, only your glass is poisonous."
In other words, even if the eldest prince did not come to pour wine for Luo Qinghan last night, he would be poisoned as long as Luo Qinghan drank the wine.
The eldest prince's actions were purely a scapegoat.
