Although it happened more than ten years ago, the incident involving Chu Xiu's beautiful girl did not spread outside the palace, but it caused a big fuss inside the palace.
The fact that a beautiful lady was framed was a big or small matter, and many masters in the palace were worried about it all day long, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of those beautiful girls.
When Qin Jiyan mentioned this matter, several old ladies around the Queen Mother were impressed. However, they did not dare to say some things, so they could only vaguely say: "I don't know what happened back then.
All I know is that the Supreme Emperor was very angry and executed hundreds of servants in the Chuxiu Palace. All those beautiful ladies were sent back, and the Supreme Emperor didn't leave any of them behind."
The old grandma only told the situation at that time without adding her personal opinions, but her words also meant something.
Chu Xiu Palace's beautiful girl Chi Guo was lying on the bed. Someone must have planned to frame someone. The Supreme Emperor executed a large number of slaves, but did not investigate the mastermind. This shows that the Supreme Emperor must know who the person behind the scenes is, and maybe he also knows the person behind the scenes.
Whoever takes action wants to frame someone.
The purpose of executing the servants of Chu Xiugong was to warn the people behind the scenes and to scare the monkeys. But how could it not be to erase the evidence for the people behind the scenes so that the victims could not find the evidence?
The Supreme Emperor has always been partial in his treatment of the former prince, not in favor of the former prince, but in favor of those who were against the former prince.
Sometimes Qin Jiyan wonders if his father is not the son of the Supreme Emperor? Otherwise, why would the Supreme Emperor be so cruel to his father?
Simply killing them all!
If it weren't for the death of his parents, no help from his maternal grandfather's family, and no available power around him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have ended well.
His mother burned herself to death that year, largely not because of love, but to protect him, and he knew this very well.
Qin Jiyan was not interested in who was responsible for what happened at Chu Xiugong, and had no desire to investigate. The incident had passed and his father had not suffered any loss. So what if he found out who was behind the scenes?
Besides, there are only a few people on the left and right of the so-called masterminds. They are all mortal enemies anyway, and they must be dealt with one by one. One more crime or one less crime is not important at all.
What Qin Jiyan was concerned about at this time was who was the person who had sex with Concubine Gu that night?
"Who were the men who appeared in the harem that day?" Qin Jiyan tapped the table and asked in a calm tone, as if he was casually asking, making people unable to be defensive.
This is also true. Hearing Qin Jiyan's gentle voice, the defensiveness of several old ladies gradually disappeared. After thinking about it for a while, they said: "That night, the emperor hosted a banquet for the number one scholar in the Zhonghe Hall. The only other men who could come to the harem at that time were the emperor.
Outside, there are only a few princes. Those princes seemed to have appeared in the harem, but the late emperor seemed to have left the palace early due to drunkenness."
The late emperor mentioned by the mammy was Qin Jiyan's father. Qin Jiyan had posthumously named the former prince the emperor, so the palace people naturally wanted to call him the late emperor.
"The late emperor left the palace early? Did anyone see it?" Qin Jiyan's tapping on the table did not change, but Gu Qiancheng knew that he was in a good mood at this time, because... the intensity of his tapping was more than a little soft.
This man...is really serious sometimes.
Gu Qiancheng shook his head, with a smile in his eyes.
Although they didn't believe what Concubine Gu said, it would be better if they could prove that the first prince was innocent.
No matter how you talk about this kind of thing, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Let alone Qin Jiyan, even she feels uncomfortable listening to it.
Although I have never met the first prince, I can tell from various signs that the first prince is a noble and noble person. It is really unpopular for people to like Concubine Gu for slandering the first prince like this.
That is to say, that stupid woman Gu Guifei would think that Qin Jiyan would take care of the fifth prince after knowing that he was his half-brother.
According to Qin Jiyan's temper, if the fifth prince was really his half-brother, it would be a good idea for him not to kill the fifth prince.
Qin Jiyan's question was not easy to answer. Although there was a big fuss that night, the prince did not show up from the beginning to the end. Although smart people knew that this was a plot against the prince, they did not dare to talk about the prince's affairs.
.
Several old ladies thought about it carefully, and finally shook their heads: "I don't even know about this." What they know are some shameful things, and those things that are on the surface, they really know.
not much.
"Is there anything unusual that night?" Qin Jiyan continued to ask, looking at the old ladies with sharp eyes...
This question was very simple, but it was the hardest to answer. The nuns frowned tightly, and after thinking for a long time, they said: "The next day, some eunuchs met in the Imperial Garden.
King Zhou, the palace gate has not yet opened at that time."
It still doesn't say much, but the amount of information is large enough.
When King Zhou appeared in the harem early in the morning, it was definitely not possible that he entered the palace early in the morning. The most likely reason was that he did not return all night.
"Mind my own words and step back." Qin Jiyan had no intention of killing anyone. There were only a few people around the Empress Dowager, and he believed that the Empress Dowager would be smart enough to manage people well.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live. Long live long live." The old mama hurriedly bowed and left, turned around and returned to the palace.
The nuns arrived first, and as soon as they saluted the Empress Dowager, before they had time to ask questions, Qin Jiyan's gift for the Empress Dowager arrived.
Qin Jiyan asked the eunuch in charge to send a batch of jewelry and jades to the Queen Mother. He also hinted to the Queen Mother that although her natal family was unreliable, for the sake of the Queen Mother, Qin Jiyan would not treat the Chen family
After he came to the throne, his title was just going to be downgraded, from Duke Chengen to Uncle Chengen.
In addition, Chen family disciples must also retire from their original official positions and are not allowed to serve as officials in the court for three generations.
This punishment is very severe, but don't forget that the children of the Chen family colluded with Prince Rong and committed the death penalty of treason. Qin Jiyan's actions were already wide-ranging.
The Empress Dowager originally only wanted to keep the Chen family, but when she saw that Qin Jiyan was willing to give the Chen family a title, she would not be dissatisfied.
Although the Grand Empress did not say any words of gratitude on her face, after this incident, she summoned Gu Qiancheng to meet with her every now and then, teaching Gu Qiancheng how to be a queen without leaving a trace...
Of course, this is a later topic, so let’s not mention it for now.
Gu Qiancheng was still living in the palace these days under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries. He lived a life of sleeping when he was full and eating when he was full. He couldn't be happier.
The other "injured patient" was not so happy. Qin Ji pretended to be injured and did not go to court for two days, but he was so busy every day that he even had to go to court "with injuries" because...
Zino suddenly jumped out from behind and faced Da Qin head-on!
