Chapter 124 It turns out that you have been able to hear your sister's voice for a long time . The
queen felt her heart beating like thunder after hearing her daughter's voice.
No wonder the remnant forces of Liang State have been growing like weeds for so many years.
The court tried to wipe them out several times, but failed. It turned out
that there was such a spy hidden in the harem.
The queen became more and more anxious. She was just trying to find an excuse to go to the study to discuss with Xia Zhengqi, but she heard the voice of eunuch Debao: "The emperor has arrived!" "
Is Miao'er okay?"
Xia Zhengqi strode in, followed by the prince.
Seeing that Xia Miaoyuan was in good spirits and was chewing an apple, Xia Zhengqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I guess the child has a short memory. There was nothing unusual after waking up this morning." The queen raised her eyebrows.
"Let your brother take a look!" The prince strode forward and picked up Xia Miaoyuan.
"I'm glad you're okay. I'm so scared." The prince looked his sister in detail.
[Thanks to the jade pendant given to me by my elder brother. If it hadn't blocked the knife for me, my life would have been over. ]
[Who let this princess have the protection of the golden armor god? I happened to wear the jade pendant, and the knife happened to stab the jade pendant. ]
Xia Miaoyuan became more and more proud as she spoke, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
The prince's expression was like riding a roller coaster. After listening to this voice, his mood was tense and relaxed, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. No matter how hard he tried to suppress his emotions, he couldn't suppress it.
Xia Zhengqi just wanted to hug his daughter. When he stretched out his hand to the prince, he saw the prince's uncomfortable expression.
Could it be that the prince could hear his daughter's voice?
Xia Zhengqi saw through the prince's thoughts in an instant.
"Fortunately, Chengnian arrived in time." Xia Zhengqi said as he hugged Xia Miaoyuan.
After kissing Xia Miaoyuan's little face, he said to the queen: "By the way, I have issued an edict to strengthen the guards in the palace. Let the Akabane Army led by my second uncle be responsible for the safety of the palace."
In fact, Xia Zhengqi had long been suspicious of the eunuch guards. He suspected that the guard group had been infiltrated.
Originally, he wanted to carefully screen the eunuchs and eliminate those with problems.
This time, the princess was stabbed, so he just used this as an excuse to make a major change.
The queen curled her lips and said, "That's good. Second uncle is a family member and can be trusted. The newly formed team is also clean."
The queen was anxious to tell Xia Zhengqi about Concubine Xian, but was afraid that her daughter would discover the secret that they could hear her thoughts. She looked at Xia Miaoyuan, but found that she was dozing off with an apple in her arms.
Xia Zhengqi made a gesture of silence and whispered, "I guess she didn't sleep well because of the noise at night, and she's sleepy again now."
Then he carefully handed Xia Miaoyuan to Yingxue, motioning her to take Xia Miaoyuan to the room and have a good sleep.
"Cheng Wan, you haven't finished your work yet, have you?" The Queen looked at her son cheerfully, obviously wanting to send him straight away.
Xia Zhengqi guessed what the Queen was thinking, but did not cooperate with the Queen. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Let him stay and listen together."
The Prince was confused.
Xia Zhengqi dismissed all the palace servants, and then slowly said, "Cheng Wan, there is actually one thing that your mother and I have never told you."
"Since your sister was born, we have been able to hear her inner voice."
The Queen was shocked to hear Xia Zhengqi say this.
"What? You can hear it too?" The Prince looked surprised.
The Queen stared at the Prince's face and murmured, "Can he?"
"That means you can hear it too!" The Queen suddenly realized.
The prince blushed, lowered his head silently, and whispered: "Yes, I could hear it too. But I didn't dare to say it because I was too worried."
Xia Zhengqi laughed: "Hahaha! Well, now we are happy, and the family doesn't have to hide it anymore."
"I am afraid that you will think my sister is a monster..." The prince hesitated.
"How can that be? Your sister is obviously a little fairy. I heard her say with my own ears that she is a fairy who came down to earth, and she is protected by a golden-armored god who can turn danger into safety." Xia Zhengqi looked very proud.
"She admitted it herself, and she has the ability to see through the world and predict the future. How can she be a monster?"
Hearing Xia Zhengqi say this, the prince's expression eased.
The Queen said gently, "However, we should not show it in front of Miao'er in the future. I am afraid that she will not be willing to speak freely after knowing that we can hear her inner voice."
Xia Zhengqi and the Crown Prince both nodded in agreement.
"Ruoyu, did you hear any secrets that you want to tell me?" Xia Zhengqi came back to his senses. "
That's right. This morning when the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian and others came to visit Miao'er, she recognized Concubine Xian as a spy."
The Crown Prince and Xia Zhengqi were both shocked and their eyes widened.
The Queen continued, "The real identity of Concubine Xian is Liang Chaozong's biological sister. Because the Niu family secretly had good relations with Liang Chaozong, they helped Concubine Xian to forge an identity and let her participate in the selection of concubines to enter the palace."
"How dare you!" Xia Zhengqi's chest was filled with anger, and he clenched his fist and punched the table.
Seeing Xia Zhengqi's anger, the Queen quickly grabbed his arm and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't be angry yet. It's important to think of a solution now."
The Prince also echoed, "Father, calm
down!" Xia Zhengqi calmed down.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Was she the mastermind behind the assassination of Jiang Qiqiu?"
Ever since the assassination happened at night, Xia Zhengqi has always thought of the Queen Mother.
It was normal for the Queen Mother to hate the Empress, and by extension, Xia Miaoyuan.
But he couldn't figure it out. If the Queen Mother ordered Jiang Qiqiu to assassinate, wouldn't it be easy to expose himself if the matter was exposed?
Moreover, after the secret guards investigated overnight, they did not find any clues about the Queen Mother.
But if the mastermind behind the scenes was the power of Liang State, it would make sense.
Then, Xia Zhengqi secretly ordered Cheng Feng and Ying Chen to investigate Concubine Xian.
Late at night, in Shoukang Palace,
Concubine Xian and the Empress Dowager sat opposite each other.
"Mother, Qiqiu is gone, you still need to take care of Feng's health and don't be too sad." Concubine Xian said softly.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Xian gloomily and said slowly: "I have lived for such an old age and have let go of everything."
"But I am surprised that Qi Qiu has been in the cold palace for no reason, but how could she become so crazy in just half a year?"
"Fang Fei, your methods are really extraordinary!"
Concubine Xian still had a gentle smile on her face: "Mother, since she has entered the cold palace, she is a useless person. Instead of being a useless person and keeping her alive, it is better to make use of her."
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager could no longer control herself and cursed: "It's really you! It's really you! You poisonous woman!"
"You actually had the heart to poison her into a madman with medicine!"
"At first, she was your best friend!"
