Chapter 221 The person is lost
At noon, I went to Xie’s house.
Liyun Courtyard.
There were many people standing outside the main house. In addition to the head of the Xie family, Jiang's mother and son were also present. Even Qi Zhan, who came later with doubts, was waiting to know Xie Rongying's situation with a serious look.
Not long after Concubine Chen returned to the palace, she sent someone to Kaifeng Prefecture to inform Qi Zhan that the prince who went to Kaifeng Prefecture was not the real prince.
After hearing the news, Qi Zhan was shocked and was wondering who was so bold as to impersonate the prince.
It seems that this is not difficult to guess. The reason why the Yongyi Marquis Mansion has fallen to its current state is because of Xie Rongying's exposure, and Xie Rongying has fallen into such a fate because of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
The only difference between them is that Xie Rongying has completely left the Yongyi Marquis Mansion. From now on, as long as the Xie family is loyal to the emperor, Xie Rongying will enjoy endless wealth and glory in her life.
Only the Yongyi Marquis Mansion and Qin Junyi, whose whereabouts are still unknown, have become the rats crossing the street that everyone wants to kill.
Moreover, the entire family of the Yongyi Marquis will not survive for several days.
Under such circumstances, how could Qin Junyi, the only one who had not fallen into the hands of the government, let Xie Rongying go?
Since he would not let Xie Rongying go, he would naturally kill her.
Just because people in the palace say that he is not the prince, does that mean he is really not the prince?
The Xie family was very dissatisfied after hearing what the person sent from the palace said.
Xie Rongying's life is hanging by a thread, and Emperor Ren De is so anxious to prove the prince's innocence, as if he is covering up something, or deliberately distancing himself from the matter.
Qi Zhan looked at the expressions of everyone in the Xie family and knew that the Xie family did not believe what Emperor Ren De said.
Fortunately, he was not implicated in this matter.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhan slowly exhaled, and was just struggling over whether to say a few words of comfort to Xie Jing.
At this time, the door was opened.
The doctor came out of the room, frowning and saying, "The bleeding has stopped. The girl has a strong desire to live and her pulse is stable. She's just lost too much blood. Don't let her have any more accidents."
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved.
Old Madam Xie raised her head, which had been lowered, with joy in her eyes. She immediately put her hands together and bowed devoutly towards one side.
Among them, Yan was the most anxious. She walked forward and asked, "Is she awake?"
"He's awake." The doctor said, looking down at the blood on her hands: "I'll go clean up first."
"Mother Sun, take the doctor downstairs." Mrs. Xie ordered.
Mother Sun nodded and gestured to the doctor, "Doctor, please come this way."
Seeing this, Jiang also said to Madam Xie and Yan: "Since Rongying has woken up, I will take Chengli back first."
"Thank you very much for your gift today." Mrs. Xie said gratefully.
Shen Chengli said gently: “You are too polite, old lady. I will say goodbye to my mother first and come to visit Rongying another day.”
Yan looked at Yan Lan and said, "Xiaojiu, please see Zhu Lan and Cheng Li off for me."
Yan Lan smiled and said, "Okay, elder sister."
After Jiang and Shen Chengli left, Mrs. Xie said, "I'll go see Rongying."
After saying this, Madam Xie walked towards the door. However, after taking two steps, she seemed to remember something and glanced at the silent Xie Jing. "There's a case of someone impersonating the Crown Prince and attempting to kill someone right under the Emperor's feet. You should go to the palace to meet His Majesty. How could you let that beast from the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion escape!"
Xie Jing lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, mother, I am waiting here to hear the news that Rongying is safe."
How could Xie Jing not understand what his mother meant?
Xie Rongying narrowly escaped death, but Emperor Ren De did not care about Xie Rongying's injuries at first. Instead, he was trying to prove something for the prince. He really did not regard the Xie family as human beings.
After Mrs. Xie's gaze lingered on Xie Jing for a moment, she sighed and walked into the main house.
Xie Jing's face turned slightly cold, thinking about how much the Xie family had done for Dayin and Emperor Ren De, but at this moment, Emperor Ren De was so disappointed.
When he turned around and left, Yan's gaze did not even fall on Xie Jing.
After Xie Jing left, Yan Lan also came back. When passing by Xie Jing, murderous intent flashed in Yan Lan's eyes.
Xie Jing felt disgust towards everyone in the Yan family, so he walked straight out of Liyun Courtyard.
Yan Lan glanced back at Xie Jing's back, and when she turned back, she saw Qi Zhan still standing there. She stepped forward and asked, "Master Qi, do you also want to see our Rong Ying?"
"I am also following orders." Qi Zhan had a hard time expressing his feelings. Although he had some guesses in his mind about who was impersonating the prince, he still wanted to give the emperor a definite answer.
But Qi Zhan also understood what the Xie family meant. They obviously did not believe that the person who attacked Xie Rongying was an impersonator who pretended to be the prince.
Yan looked sideways at Qi Zhan and said, "I'll go in and talk to the old lady and ask what's going on with Rong Ying so that Master Qi can go back and report."
"Thank you, ma'am." Qi Zhan said gratefully.
When Yan walked into the room, she saw Old Madam Xie holding Xie Rongying's hand and sobbing.
"Grandma, I'm fine." Xie Rongying said softly.
When Madam Xie was about to say something, she heard footsteps behind her and glanced sideways at Yan who had walked in: "But Master Qi hasn't left yet?"
Yan nodded.
"Rongying, did you see clearly who hurt you?" asked Mrs. Xie.
Xie Rongying said, "Isn't he the prince?"
Madam Xie and Yan were stunned for a moment. Madam Xie said, "Just now, there was news from the palace saying that the Crown Prince did not go to Kaifeng Mansion at all."
Xie Rongying laughed: "Not the Crown Prince? If not the Crown Prince, then who is it? Your Majesty thinks this matter can be dismissed with just a casual remark that he's not the Crown Prince?"
Old Madam Xie knew what had angered Xie Rongying: "Don't worry, I've already asked your father to go to the palace to meet the emperor. This matter won't end like this."
Xie Rongying stared upwards and said, "Grandmother, I have a feeling the emperor wants to use this incident to test our Xie family."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie glanced at Yan and said, "Wanlou, go and tell Lord Qi that Rongying saw the Crown Prince, not anyone else."
Yan nodded: "I'll go right away."
After saying that, Yan walked out of the room.
Qi Zhan saw Yan come out: "Thank you, Madam."
Yan stepped forward and said, "Master Qi, Rongying saw the prince."
Qi Zhan was not surprised at this answer at all.
"Master Qi, when you go to reply to the emperor, please also give him a message. Ask him why, if the crown prince is fake, he went to Kaifeng Prefecture with the imperial concubine."
After hearing this, Qi Zhan was stunned for a moment and then said goodbye.
Of course, Qi Zhan only sent someone to tell Emperor Ren De what Xie Rongying said. He naturally would not tell Emperor Ren De what Yan said. After all, it is better to have less trouble than more.
At the end of the Wei hour, at the Imperial Palace.
Yanhe Hall.
When Emperor Ren De received the news from Qi Zhan, he sent the people who followed Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing to report to him the whereabouts of the two.
"What do you mean by 'lost them?'" Emperor Ren De was furious. "Does that mean these two are still in Bianjing City?"
