Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh mobilization of troops and horses
Princess Jian was shocked when she heard this. How could she not have thought of this? Not every case in this world can be investigated, and even if it is investigated clearly, there may not be any good results.
Just like the case of King Wei's rebellion, there were clues about the clan at that time. If King Wei really rebelled, why didn't he send the whole family out of the capital, and not wait until the late emperor went to accompany the capital before taking action, and rashly took a few soldiers from the capital guard with him?
Entering the palace to murder the late emperor is simply a matter of striking an egg with a stone.
Although the court said that it was because of An Yihou's whistleblower that the late emperor was able to suppress the generals who were preparing to raise troops, the later behavior of An Yihou seemed more like he had no choice but to admit the fact that King Wei had rebelled.
The King of Wei's family was killed, and many officials and even merchants in the capital were involved and lost their lives. If we really want to turn this case over, what will happen to those who used the cover of the King of Wei's case to exclude dissidents and consolidate their own interests?
Princess Jian murmured: "According to what the prince said, neither the queen mother nor the emperor... would want Miss Xu to investigate further."
King Jian sighed again: "Miss Xu is still too young to think so long-term. I thought Marquis An Yi would remind her."
Princess Jian's hands and feet were cold. She liked Miss Xu very much, and of course she didn't want to see the little girl suffer: "She will get married soon." She also prepared a lot of congratulations.
Princess Jian said: "Now we can only ask the Queen for help. At worst, we persuade Miss Xu not to investigate anymore. Even if we find out, what can we do? The dead cannot be resurrected, so losing one's life is really not worth the gain."
…”
"Go ahead," King Jian frowned, "I think the clan and several other adults can intercede for Marquis An Yi. The emperor cannot ignore anyone's words."
Princess Jian nodded.
King Jian whispered: "Go to the Xu family again and comfort Mrs. Xu."
Princess Jian walked out of the study.
King Jian walked to the window and sighed again.
…
Inside Kunning Palace.
The queen sat on the couch and listened to the words of the eldest princess of Jiashan. After a while, she coughed lightly and looked very weak.
"Your Majesty," Princess Jian said with concern, "how is your health? Has it improved?"
Now the doctors at the Tai Hospital are busy recuperating the Queen. I heard two days ago that the Queen's illness has recovered. Today, it seems that she is no different from before. It seems that even if she can survive this winter, next year will be difficult.
.
The female officer stepped forward and gently patted the Queen's chest, and the Queen's complexion gradually improved.
The queen panted and calmed down before saying, "It's much better than before."
She was telling the truth. She didn't have to worry about being accused of being feigning illness. The medicine from Tai Hospital was gradually getting the symptoms right. Even if it couldn't cure her disease, at least it wouldn't make her feel too uncomfortable. It would be good to spend her last days like this.
.
However, she wanted to do something more before leaving.
The queen looked at Princess Jian, the eldest princess of Jiashan and the princess of Shunyang County: "I have asked someone to ask. Although Miss Xu is provided with food and clothing in the palace, I heard that it is for the convenience of investigating the case. Xu will be transferred to her in a few days."
Miss, send it back."
The eldest princess of Jiashan and the princess of Shunyang County looked at each other. This must be an excuse made by the court.
"I'm afraid it's not good," Princess Shunyang County said, "Miss Xu has not left the cabinet after all. If she stays in the palace for too long, she will attract criticism."
The queen nodded: "Speaking of which, I may not have seen Miss Xu for a long time. If Miss Xu can come out of the palace, I also want her to come and talk to me."
In other words, the Queen will intercede for Miss Xu.
Princess Jian and others all looked happy.
"However, I don't know what the situation is outside," the queen said. "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone inside and outside the palace is very busy. I hope there won't be any more commotion."
Princess Jiashan understood what the Empress meant and this case could not be investigated under any circumstances.
The eldest princess of Jiashan immediately smiled and said: "Miss Xu is about to get married. At this time, she should prepare the dowry at home instead of running around here and there."
The Queen nodded: "I will do my best."
Having said this, Princess Jian and others stood up and left.
The hall became quiet again, and the queen looked at the female official: "I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some of the emperor's favorite dishes. You go and invite the emperor to Kunning Palace."
The female officer responded.
…
The emperor sat on the throne and listened to Feng Shun repeat what the queen said.
"They are really anxious," the emperor said calmly, "but after locking Mrs. Xu in the palace, these people could no longer sit still and moved around for her. People who didn't know the inside story thought she was an important figure in the Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, she is just a female family member."
The emperor said with a knowing look, Xu was really good at winning people's hearts, and now many members of the royal family are on her side.
"Your Majesty," Feng Shun said, "how do you want to get back to the Queen?"
After the queen was poisoned, he also visited the queen several times. However, the queen looked gloomy and was unwilling to talk to him. Now she invited him to Kunning Palace for Xu Qinghuan.
The emperor said calmly: "I am busy with government affairs these days and have no time to go to the harem."
Feng Shun hesitated.
"What?" The emperor looked over.
Feng Shun then said: "This is your reply."
The queen begged for mercy.
The emperor's face became even more gloomy. Who else would submit a memorial to ask him to let Xu go?
Before Feng Shun left, the emperor said: "Let people keep an eye on the people coming from the southeast. I just want to see how much trouble they can cause."
"What if..." Feng Shun was a little worried.
The emperor looked sharply: "Isn't that just right? I just want to lure those people out and see what they are going to do."
…
The streets and alleys throughout the capital have begun to be decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Although New Year's Eve is still more than half a month away, the New Year atmosphere is everywhere.
Xue Chen walked quickly on the street, not wanting to appreciate the scenery. At this moment, he was in a state of confusion. Ever since Miss Xu was sent to the palace, he knew that something big might happen.
Xue Chen quickly walked to the back door of Anyihou Mansion. The door opened immediately and a steward came to greet him.
The steward whispered: "Master Hou and Master Song are waiting for you in the study."
Xue Chen nodded. He was afraid that someone would follow him, so he turned to look behind him. Even if someone found out, he wouldn't be able to care so much. It has reached this point, and covering up can't solve the predicament at hand.
The atmosphere in the study was gloomy.
After Xue Chen walked in, the steward immediately closed the door.
An Yihou looked pale and frowned. When he saw Xue Chen, he immediately stood up and said, "Master Xue..."
When Xue Chen saw Li, he immediately looked at Song Chengxuan. Song Chengxuan was sitting there, his whole face seemed to be in shadow.
"What are you going to do, young master?" Xue Chen said, "The princess of Shunyang County and others entered the palace, but there was no movement. Maybe... the empress's plea for mercy did not make the emperor change his mind."
Song Chengxuan did not hesitate and said calmly: "Are there any troops near the capital that can be mobilized?"
