Duan Rongxuan, perhaps he is just a cover for her, or even a pawn?
She had apparently abolished one of her sons before, so she had to choose her own fourth prince to continue competing for the position of the new crown prince.
But how could she not know what kind of person Duan Rongxuan is?
He was no match for the other princes, and he had no talent or virtue, and was even incompetent. Although Emperor Yan doted on him on the surface, he had never asked Prince Yun to do even a single important task.
Moreover, Prince Yun has not held any position in the court so far.
Therefore, it is impossible for Emperor Yan to really give the throne to him.
Therefore, everything the Queen did was just to pave the way for the deposed Crown Prince to return...!
There were many things in Li Qingluo's mind that he didn't understand before, but now they gradually became clear, as if they were connected one by one.
Perhaps yesterday's birthday party for Duan Rongxuan, the bizarre and coincidental assassination, and Prince Yun's misconduct were all part of a setup?
Where is Emperor Yan?
Could it be that he and the Queen have the same idea, so he just does many things to go with the flow?
At the palace banquet on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Princess Qinyu clearly made a serious mistake, but both the empress and the emperor tried to cover her up.
They knew that Qinyu was working for the prince, right?
Therefore, even if Qinyu killed the Pan family's legitimate daughter, she would never be punished.
Being shut up and reflecting on her mistakes without any serious consequences actually gave her the opportunity to leave the palace and act more conveniently for the prince.
Also, regarding the jade pendant that Princess Qinyu had argued with Pan Li about, Prince Su said that the jade pendant was originally awarded to the prince by the emperor.
So it should be that Pan Li's original body knew some secret between Qin Yu and the prince, which is why Qin Yu intended to kill him to silence him!
But...if the emperor is really protecting Qinyu, does he know that Qinyu is the leader of the Lotus Sect?
No, the emperor definitely doesn't know about this!
Perhaps deep down he also wanted to reinstate the deposed crown prince.
That's why he tacitly allowed Qin Yu to join the prince's party.
But if he knew that Qinyu was the leader of the Lotus Sect, he would never let her live to this day. After all, between a prince and a cult that threatens the court and the country, which is more important? Any emperor would make a real choice.
But Emperor Yan didn’t know, what about the crown prince?
Is he aware that Qinyu is the leader of the Lotus Sect?
If he understood clearly and used Qinyu's power to return to the court, wouldn't it be easy for Prince Su, who knew the truth, to use this as a handle to expose him?
Li Qingluo couldn't help but shudder.
She looked at Duan Rongshi deeply again.
But she knew that she couldn't ask him in front of Uncle De at this time.
Li Qingluo had no choice but to temporarily suppress the numerous questions in his heart and asked Uncle De, "Apart from this concubine, have you investigated the Jiang family affairs that I asked you to handle earlier?"
Uncle De quickly replied, "It's been so long since I last heard what the young lady ordered. I do have some clues on what to do."
"Miss, after Deputy General Jiang's death, his concubine left Jinling City with his concubine."
"The place they were going to wasn't far away. They settled in Yangzhou."
"A few years ago, this concubine participated in the martial arts champion selection, but was deliberately framed and failed to be selected. It was someone under the Crown Prince who recommended him."
"This concubine is quite talented and intelligent, so he has climbed the ranks and is now the crown prince's personal bodyguard."
Close bodyguard?
Just like the status and position of Zhuiyu and Pofeng beside their master?
But didn’t he say before that he was only doing business in Nanshan Villa?
Uncle De: "Miss, there's more. It's said that the secret letter that Vice General Jiang sent home that year was not sent to the Jiang family at all, but to this concubine."
"This time, the person who took out the letter was also this concubine."
Li Qingluo punched his palm hard.
"No wonder the Jiang family has been silent for so many years, but suddenly appeared again."
"If they really had this letter, they would have revealed the truth back then."
"Even if the concubine's son and his wife had this letter, they would have no connections, let alone the status, to sue Li Chaojing."
"Now the Crown Prince has made the decision for them, asking this concubine to produce the letter. This letter must be handed over by the Jiang family in order to legitimately blackmail and threaten Li Chaojing."
“That’s why things have become what they are today.”
Therefore, the real chess players behind the scenes are the Queen Mother and Crown Prince Duan Rongyin!
Prince Yun was nothing more than a discarded figure that his brother brought back to the palace.
Li Qingluo shook his head.
"Even if Liu Qingzhu returns to Prince Yun's Mansion now... no, the Fourth Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid her dream will be completely shattered."
She dreamed of entering the palace and becoming a noble lady.
Now, let alone entering the palace as a noble lady, even being a concubine safely is probably impossible.
But all this was her own fault, and it was the retribution she and Duan Rongxuan deserved.
After Uncle De left, Li Qingluo stood up and personally made tea for Duan Rongshi.
"Your Highness, you haven't answered my question just now."
"Why do you say that Li Chaojing will definitely die this time?"
"Could it be that someone wants to silence him and let him die in prison?"
Duan Rongshi looked at her while drinking his tea: "Why couldn't it be that my father found out that he really had gained fame and power, so he was sentenced to death?"
Li Qingluo took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
Spread it out for Duan Rongshi to see.
"Because I have found a way to get the letter from home."
Duan Rongshi's face instantly showed disbelief.
