Chapter 178 Grievances
The emperor felt extremely uncomfortable with this reason, but he could not deny it.
The truth is, it is clear how difficult Su Qingqing's life has been since she came to the Kingdom of Yan. Not only the emperor, but even the people in the capital know it clearly.
He doesn't care about Zhao Guo's attitude, but he has to save face!
"It's freezing outside now, and the roads are difficult to travel. Let's wait until spring ." The emperor waved his hand, trying his best to be patient and pleasant.
Su Jinghe's murder case had just happened, and he was so upset that he wanted to curse.
Su Qingqing seemed not to understand the emperor's expression and pouted.
"If Father doesn't want me to go back, then can you please give me something as a reward?"
Emperor: Huh?
The emperor looked at Su Qingqing in confusion and surprise.
This was the first time he had seen someone asking for a reward so blatantly. He was almost amused by it. "What do you want?"
"When the prince and I were providing disaster relief in Nanchong, the Nanchong County Magistrate Zhao Bingchun gave His Highness a shop. Your Highness and I asked for it several times, but Your Highness refused. I would like to ask Father to agree..."
Before Su Qingqing could finish, the emperor interrupted her in confusion, "The magistrate of Nanchong County gave the prince a shop?"
Su Qingqing looked calm and said, "Yes."
"What shop?"
"It's a fur shop. I see the materials there are really good, better than the ones I own. There's a set of fire fox fur, which looks really nice when made into a scarf.
I miss my family so much that I want Your Highness to agree to send a cart of gifts to Zhao State, but Your Highness is stingy and refuses to agree.
This is expensive, but as a daughter, marrying far away, shouldn't I give something more expensive when I send it back?"
Su Qingqing was still muttering about Rong Que being stingy, but the chief eunuch saw that the emperor's expression had visibly turned cold.
The chief eunuch coughed hurriedly, trying to interrupt her, but Su Qingqing didn't notice.
The emperor looked cold and asked, "Why did Zhao Bingchun give the shop to the prince?"
Su Qingqing paused for a moment, and seemed to realize what the emperor was asking. She said, "Maybe it's because I was almost poisoned to death?"
The emperor, who had just been stimulated by Su Jinghe's affairs, was shocked again.
"poison?"
Su Qingqing stared with a puzzled look on her face, "Did His Highness not mention this when he came back to report?"
emperor:……
Su Qingqing looked at the emperor's reaction and sighed, "That's what I said. I have suffered so much injustice, why doesn't your Majesty comfort me?
At that time, Qin Wanru was poisoned, and the emperor gave her a small Pekingese. I was almost poisoned to death, but the emperor didn't even ask me. "
Just now, Su Qingqing suddenly mentioned the little Pekingese. The emperor was puzzled for a moment and guessed why Su Qingqing mentioned the little Pekingese.
But now everything becomes clear.
Is this a psychological imbalance?
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince have always been hostile to each other, and as a result, the relationship between Su Qingqing and Qin Wanru is not good either.
Qin Wanru received a lot of gifts to calm her down, but when it came to Su Qingqing, there was nothing...
No wonder.
The emperor smiled bitterly, his eyes softened a little, "What happened at that time? Tell me in detail."
Su Qingqing said, "When I and the prince arrived in Nanchong, Zhao Bingchun pretended to let me and the prince eat coarse food, saying that the government office had no food, and they lived like this every day.
As a result, I discovered that they had plenty of fish and meat, and when I asked for better food, they gave me their leftovers.
I started to make a scene, and in order to stop me from making a scene, Zhao Bingchun promised me 500,000 taels of silver as compensation.
Five hundred thousand taels!
The emperor snorted heavily.
Su Qingqing continued to exaggerate and make up stories, "Father, you know that too. I like the time. Your Highness went to suppress the bandits. I was bored, so I took Jixiang to the local..."
She was suddenly stuck and looked at the emperor a little embarrassedly.
The emperor immediately understood where she was going.
A few days ago, this daughter-in-law went to Suihonglou to have fun.
The emperor pinched his brows in dismay, "You continue."
"I had my eyes on a few dancers at the time. I thought life was hard, so I took them home to have some fun. Zhao Bingchun happened to have promised me 500,000 taels of silver. Although the silver had not yet arrived, I used it to buy the dancers.
Then the local brothel owner would definitely ask Zhao Bingchun for money .
I don't know whether she wanted to get money from Erchen, but after Erchen brought the dancer back, a few days later, Zhao Bingchun's wife said she would hold a banquet and invite Erchen to appreciate the flowers.
I can't stand the loneliness, so of course I have to go.
As a result, at the banquet, when the dancer toasted, Zhao Bingchun's wife was poisoned and died on the spot. Later, I heard from Jixiang that the wine was originally intended for me, but Jixiang thought the wine pot was not as good-looking as the previous one, so he changed it casually when no one was paying attention.
Fortunately, Jixiang changed at that time, otherwise it would be me who died.
My God, it was a perfect throat. "
When Su Qingqing said this, the emperor's expression changed several times.
"I don't know who wanted to poison me. Zhao Bingchun tried the case himself and didn't find anything. But when we were about to leave, he gave Your Highness a shop and said he hoped Your Highness would not mention this matter.
Your Highness really kept his promise . For the sake of a shop, he actually did not mention it.
I was wondering why Father didn't comfort me. "
Su Qingqing said so, but the emperor understood that the reason Rong Que did not mention it was definitely not to keep his promise.
But there was something wrong with the shop.
Rong Que didn't mention it because he hadn't investigated it clearly yet and didn't want to bring trouble to himself.
After all, Rong Que knew in his heart that the incident involving Su Yunhe had happened before and that the grievance had been cleared, but doubts would always be recalled inadvertently.
The emperor felt a rare pain in his heart.
He felt sorry for the prince who lost his mother at an early age.
And about this rumor...
No matter who started it and who was the target, he, the prince, was always pitifully implicated .
The emperor sighed inwardly and said, "Is the prince ill these days? Why does he look so bad all day long?"
Su Qingqing pouted, looking unhappy, "Since the rumor, His Highness has not returned home for several days, and has been staying at the manor in Fengtai every day."
The tone can be as sad as possible.
The emperor was stunned and asked curiously, "Why?"
Su Qingqing said angrily, "How would I know why? Father, please ask him. I dare not say anything. Didn't they say that Your Highness has always had General Su in his heart? Didn't they say that Your Highness and that traitor are deeply in love?"
She felt so wronged that she almost cried.
The emperor did not ask any more questions, so he just said, "If you like any of the finished furs in the shop, just have them loaded onto a truck. I will give you some more gifts and send them back to Zhao State."
