Chapter 447 Changes
Cheng Yun left soon, and Xuanyuan Ling was left alone with Shen Qing.
"You were frightened just now and you still thought so much."
Chen Qing said: "I am afraid that this child will be biased in his future actions after being frightened by the poisoning incident."
Poisoning once would have been enough to motivate the child, but this time it was so blatant. It would be bad if he saw everyone as an enemy. After all, we cannot let him be so nervous at such a young age. The concern that the child cannot defend himself on the surface is secondary. We should be afraid that he may go astray in his heart.
Appropriate reminders are necessary, especially in front of Xuanyuan Ling, to let him know that he still has time to grow, and in the future he will also know what it means that Xuanyuan Ling protects them and their son. It is good to plan before taking action, so that you can be stable in everything you do and be able to handle anything.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Shen Qing and raised her hand to touch her face, her eyes deep: "When he grows up, he will naturally know what an outstanding mother he has."
Xuanyuan Ling hugged the man closer and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you."
Shen Qing leaned against him for a while, listening to him say calmly: "I will personally interrogate this matter, you take a rest first, ok?"
Shen Qing paused, but didn't say anything and nodded.
Xuanyuan Ling helped her lie down, watched her close her eyes, and then turned and left, his face looking very bad.
In fact, Shen Qing opened her eyes again after he turned and left. What will be the outcome of this matter?
It would have been fine if Lady Qiao hadn't said anything about the harm she had done to her, but now she was accused of harming her entire family. Under the circumstances at the time, she didn't think that Lady Qiao was talking nonsense, and she must have had some basis. But what basis could make Lady Qiao pin the entire family's blood debt on her for no reason?
Chen Qing believed that there must be some conspiracy here, and someone was targeting her. This matter was related to the previous dynasty. She could really think of the queen as the one who had influence in the previous dynasty and could do such a thing quietly.
However, Shen Qing thought about how he had people keeping an eye on Fengyi Palace these days, and no one from Fengyi Palace had left the palace at all.
So is she the queen or not?
If she is really the queen, I wonder how Xuanyuan Ling will deal with her?
Xuanyuan Ling said he would interrogate him personally.
Did he notice something? Of course, how could he not notice it? But if he did notice it, what would he do? That was the queen... What if there was no evidence pointing to her doing it? The probability of this happening was very high. After all, the queen always did things very cautiously.
Shen Qing was thinking about this, so naturally he couldn't fall asleep, but he just lay down and didn't get up.
After Xuanyuan Ling left Zhaohua Palace, he asked someone to call Zhao Hai over: "What did Qiao confess?"
Zhao Hai then repeated Lady Qiao's confession.
Lady Qiao was trying to drag Shen Qing into the water and make it difficult for her to go there, so naturally, all the problems of her family were pushed onto Shen Zhizhuo's head.
Xuanyuan Ling sneered: "Send someone to Jinzhou to find out the whole story for me. Also, no one of the palace maids and eunuchs who served her should be killed. Their backgrounds must be fully investigated for me."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he felt a little anxious.
In fact, when Lady Qiao said this at the beginning, everyone would think it was slander. This Concubine Xian had never been seen to torture the concubines in the palace. How could she deliberately torture your whole family? How could it be possible? It was obvious that she was courting death and wanted to throw dirty water on Concubine Xian before she died.
But as Lady Qiao's confession came out, Zhao Hai began to wonder in his heart, this matter did not seem to be false.
However, the mountains in Jinzhou are high and the roads are long, making it difficult to verify at the moment. In fact, if the emperor really wanted to investigate, he would not be surprised to let him do it. But he actually specifically ordered that no one serving Concubine Qiao should be killed, and his origins should be investigated.
Ouch, Zhao Hai realized what was going on. It was obvious that something was wrong. Lady Qiao was probably being used as a knife by someone.
Zhao Hai didn't dare to guess further and could only respond quickly.
After leaving the imperial study, Zhao Hai shuddered as he thought about it. This was a terrible thing. He originally thought that Lady Qiao was just jealous and crazy, but he didn't know that there was something else going on!
"I don't think the harem is really going to change."
Zhao Hai thought silently in his heart and hurried to do his work.
Xuanyuan Ling just sat there, thinking about Chen Qing's appearance just now, thinking about how she taught Xiaoliu in front of him, and then he actually thought of the queen. If he had to say that the only person he had ever married in his life was the queen, it was naturally the queen. The only one who entered the palace through the main gate in a proper manner was the queen. In terms of nobility, the queen was also noble, second only to the emperor.
He is the Son of Heaven and the Empress is the mother of the country. In order to keep the Empress in line, he has been suppressing her all these years. If it weren't for the Empress's shameful behavior, he would not dare to make a fuss, for fear that he would be criticized in the court.
At that time, he was still young, what was his intention in marrying the queen? He had no intention, it was just a matter of interest, and the queen mother said that most royal families married like this, but the royal wives were respected a lot, and he wanted to respect the queen as well.
But he didn't like the Queen from the beginning. She was too well-behaved and, in some ways, too much like the Queen Mother. Not to mention that the Queen Mother urged him and the Queen to have a child, which left him with a psychological trauma. So he was not willing to give her even a child. But even if he didn't like her at first, he would still give her face and thought, let's wait and see. If she behaved herself, he wouldn't really refuse to give her the child. After all, she was the Queen.
He didn't pay much attention to the harem. To be honest, he didn't take the concubines' fighting in the harem to heart at the beginning. He had plenty of time to spend in the previous dynasty and he had too many things to do. The harem was just a place for him to expand his family. He didn't even feel that he had few children at that time.
But later, he discovered many things, those things without evidence but which made people guess that the Queen was behind them, one after another, were placed in front of him, and now, there was one more thing.
Xuanyuan Ling was in an atmosphere of impending storm, but Zhao Hai came back again. This time he really didn't dare not kneel. He knelt down in front of Xuanyuan Ling and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. One of the maids of the Qiao family named Jinse committed suicide."
He had not expected this to happen. It really cost him his life. The emperor had just mentioned that these servants were all alive, but not long after he went out, he got the news that they were dead. He had no choice but to come back and apologize.
Xuanyuan Ling was not surprised at all. Or rather, his guess was further confirmed when he was really dead: "Continue investigating."
Zhao Hai was a little bit incredulous when he heard Xuanyuan Ling didn't blame him, but he went down anyway.
The Queen knew that Jinse was loyal, but she was still worried because Jinse knew a lot. Now that Jinse was dead, the Queen was relieved. Naturally, there would be no evidence in this matter. She had arranged the matter in Jinzhou very well. Even if she really wanted to investigate, it was too late to investigate now after all, it had been so long since the incident.
As for the twists and turns in the palace, it is easier to investigate inside the palace. It is naturally complicated to investigate outside the palace, especially since Jinzhou is far away and people have to be sent specially to investigate.
This matter was related to Shen Zhizhuo, who found out about it not long after. People in the palace came to investigate the matter. According to Concubine Qiao's daily confession, it was Shen Zhizhuo who harmed their entire family in one fell swoop. However, when Shen Zhizhuo was really questioned, he found out that he only knew about the Qiao family after Concubine Qiao's family had died.
