At this time, the maid Xing'er hurried in and looked at Shen Jiao with some worry, "Princess, are you feeling better?"
Myolie is Fu Youan’s person.
At that time, Shen Jiao entered the palace without anyone. Fu Youan was really worried and sent Xing'er to the palace the next day.
Xing'er is quite capable, and at least Shen Jiao can use it with ease.
Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "It doesn't matter, have you accomplished what I asked you to do?"
"nature."
Xing'er nodded.
Shen Jiao nodded lightly and looked at the sky with a smile, "I don't know what's going on with You'an. I've been in the palace for many days and I really miss him."
"The prince must be thinking about the princess."
Xing'er responded, thinking that based on the current situation, the day when the princess would leave the palace would probably be far away.
When they mentioned Fu Youan, Fu Youan was also anxious.
He originally felt that letting Shen Jiao enter the palace was not a good choice, but now that he could not find out much about the palace, he felt even more wrong.
In the past two days, my temper has become increasingly violent.
"Chu Dingkun...is also anxious."
Qiao Chen glanced at Fu Youan and said, "Now is not a good time to take the princess back."
After all the calculations, Shen Jiao entered the palace for only half a month, and Chu Dingkun and Fu Youan have been in tit-for-tat recently. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the palace will never let him go.
"I know, it's just that Jiaojiao has a gentle temperament. I'm afraid she will have to endure some hardships after entering the palace."
mild?
Qiao Chen remained skeptical of Fu Youan's words.
Although he had only met Shen Jiao once, the woman who could single-handedly bring Fu Youan out of the palace, the woman who scolded Chu Dingkun and her grandson, was by no means a gentle person.
That means Fu Youan is blind.
But Qiao Chen would not say this.
A few days ago, he was pretending to be ill and not going to court. Chu Dingkun asked Xia Xun to intercede with him one after another, asking him to come forward to help, at least not to let Fu Youan dominate the court.
But the more this happened, the colder Qiao Chen's heart became.
When he pretended to be ill, Chu Dingkun said nothing, but now that Fu Youan suppressed him, Chu Dingkun came to beg him again.
Qiao Chen didn't like this kind of behavior.
He was not a loyal person to begin with, and after careful consideration, he decided to side with Fu You'an when it came to matters involving the family's wealth and life.
As for Chu Dingkun... the most he could do was save his life for the sake of the late emperor.
"If you want to succeed, Mr. Li, the Minister of War, must be transferred."
Qiao Chen said firmly.
Fu Youan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Qiao Chen continued to explain, "This person is an extremely staunch royalist. If he is not transferred, it will definitely ruin everything for you and me."
The power of the Minister of War is not small, and Chu Dingkun relies heavily on him. If he is not eliminated, he will be an extremely troublesome figure.
Fu Youan nodded lightly, "It's not difficult to do. We are human beings and we always do things wrong sometimes."
The two of them negotiated in the study room for a long time. Since the former court and the harem had difficulty communicating with each other, they had no idea that when they were preparing to make plans slowly, Shen Jiao made a move from the rear to remove the firepower.
One of the queens was borrowed the knife by Shen Jiao to kill people. After getting the medicine from her, she retreated to the left and right sides of the palace and meditated for a long time.
She didn't believe everything Shen Jiao said.
But she didn't know much about the situation, and couldn't communicate with the Chu family. She only knew that Chu Dingkun had become increasingly irritable recently, and even Xia Xun became depressed twice.
This means that he has always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Fu Youan.
And this is enough.
Of course, one of the reasons why the queen was able to take action was because she really had no feelings for Chu Dingkun. Shen Jiao gave her a little hope, so she dared to take the gamble.
However, she didn't dare to believe Shen Jiao too much. After getting the medicine, she chose an eyeliner sent by other concubines in the palace to test the poison, and deliberately called the imperial doctor she trusted for diagnosis and treatment.
Finally, she realized that Shen Jiao had not lied to her. The doctor could not diagnose the poison, and it only took effect on the fifth day.
The queen's heart turned towards Shen Jiao.
She didn't do it secretly, so Chu Dingkun naturally received the news.
Seeing that the maid was from the middle palace, it was impossible for Chu Dingkun to suspect that it was the queen. His first reaction was that someone was arrogant and wanted to harm the queen.
Then he became cold-faced, called Xia Xun in, scolded him, and accused him of not doing things well.
Xia Xun was also wronged. After shouting a few times, he was scolded by Chu Dingkun.
"I leave the power of the palace to you. Someone poisoned a little maid today. Who knows if someone will poison me tomorrow. Isn't this your fault?"
Chu Dingkun stared at Xia Xun pitifully, "Fu Youan was staring at me outside the palace, hoping that I would die. You dare to make such a big mistake. Shouldn't I blame you?"
I really don’t blame Chu Dingkun for having a bad temper.
Recently, he was really driven crazy by Fu Youan.
Especially after Fu Youan and Qiao Chen joined forces, the court gradually had no room for him to speak.
Few of the documents that could be sent to him were related to important government affairs, and almost all of them were insignificant greeting documents.
This is not the result Chu Dingkun wants.
Xia Xun also knew that he felt aggrieved, and he sighed when he heard him say this, "It's a slave who failed in his duty. Please punish me, the emperor."
After Chu Dingkun took a few deep breaths, he reached out to help him up, "I hope you will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Xia Xun agreed, and when he walked out of the door, his heart was still hanging.
He checked here and there, but he couldn't find any clues!
Who on earth could send poison into the palace under such tight guard?
Difficult~
He was so worried that he couldn't sleep well for several nights, and his eyes were black and blue. He felt sleepy and a cup of tea was brought to him.
He turned around and saw that it was Degui, one of his godsons.
"Godfather, isn't this difficult for you, Your Majesty?"
Degui complained in a low voice.
Xia Xun shook his head, "There is no other way, we still have to investigate."
If it was someone Fu Youan planted in, then the emperor would be in danger.
His current status is all thanks to the emperor. If the emperor dies, he will not end well.
"The Emperor is in trouble for you, so you might as well find a scapegoat first... I heard something here."
"tell me the story."
Degui bowed and said in a low voice, "The imperial guard Song Shi lived in Concubine Lan's house when he was young and had some friendship with Concubine Lan."
Concubine Lan was arrogant, favored, and had help, so it was not surprising that she would do something like this.
After Xia Xun thought about it, he looked at Degui silently without saying a word.
Degui immediately knelt on his knees and lowered his head, "Godfather, my son would never lie to you about something like this. It's just that my son has some old grudges with Concubine Lan, so he brought it up on purpose."
"Well, get up."
Xia Xun felt that Degui was right. He should first find a scapegoat to stabilize Chu Dingkun, and then continue to investigate. As for Concubine Lan~
Thinking of how Concubine Lan had embarrassed him over and over again after being favored, Xia Xun acquiesced in choosing her as his replacement, but then he gave Degui a few words of praise.
But to Degui, his beating didn't matter at all.
After leaving the door, all the humble flattery on the noble face disappeared, leaving only a cold and sarcastic look.
Chu Dingkun and Xia Xun were exhausted, and he was just waiting for Xia Xun to fall into his hands. He would definitely 'repay' Xia Xun for the 'preferential treatment' he had received over the years!
Thinking of this, the smile on Degui's face became even colder.
