Chapter 205 Leak
Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows in surprise at the news.
"Xiang Zheng's father was King Yu's personal guard? Then why did the emperor promote Xiang Zheng to the Minister of War?"
Su Qingqing knew exactly how the emperor had seized the throne from King Yu. It was no exaggeration to say that the coup was a river of blood.
However, she did not expect that King Yu, who was hacked to death by the emperor himself and fell in a pool of blood, was actually alive, and Xiang Zheng's father was actually his personal guard.
Rong Que gently stroked Su Qingqing's hair, "I still don't know how King Yu managed to escape death, but Xiang Zheng's original surname was Qiao."
After Rong Que said this, Su Qingqing understood.
Beside King Yu was a close guard named Qiao Xueya.
King Yu was deposed by the emperor. After a life-and-death battle, King Yu disappeared. Qiao Xueya's son changed his name, passed the imperial examination successfully, and became a pillar of the country and the Minister of War.
Before the fact that Xiang Zheng was on the side of the Third Prince was exposed, he was even a key figure in the Zhenguo Gong Party.
I have to say this person's ability.
In the darkness, Su Qingqing looked at Rong Que. Their auras intertwined, but there was no more lustful desire. "Since Xiang Zheng is Qiao Xueya's son, then he should assist the Third Prince..."
"Either the Third Brother has something in the hands of King Yu, and he has no choice but to submit to King Yu, or," Rong Que paused, his voice becoming a little colder, "he may not be the son of the Emperor at all."
It was exactly the same as Su Qingqing had guessed.
"Then let's reveal this news to the Queen Mother, okay?" Su Qingqing suddenly hooked Rong Que's neck, and her breath sprayed on his neck.
Rong Que tightened his grip around the man's hand, "Okay."
Su Qingqing laughed, "We two will be struck by lightning, sitting on the bed all day thinking about how to hurt others."
Rong Que laughed, "If you get struck by lightning, there's someone taller to support you. I'm taller than you, so if I get struck by lightning..."
Without waiting for Rong Que to speak, Su Qingqing stepped forward and blocked the second half of Rong Que's sentence with her lips.
If lightning strikes, let it strike her.
She was a person who died and came back to life, which was against the laws of nature. When she returned to this land, her heart was filled with hatred.
If Rong Que and Jixiang had not become two different beauties in her life, her new life would have been filled with nothing but hatred.
Hugging and kissing each other, Su Qingqing closed her eyes and just wanted to have deeper and deeper contact with Rong Que.
Xiang Zheng's death sentence was announced three days later, but the guilt of the eldest son of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion has remained undetermined, just like the Duke of Zhenguo. They are all clearly people who deserve to die, but for some reason, their cases have remained unresolved.
As long as the charges are not determined, the people outside
Marquis Rong'an was traumatized by the imprisonment of his son, and his health deteriorated rapidly. In desperation, his wife had to go to the palace to plead for mercy.
As a woman, she couldn't plead with the Emperor, so she could only go to the Empress Dowager and the Queen.
The matter of the Duke of Zhenguo still made the Queen Mother anxious. After the palace servants sent the wife of the Marquis of Rong'an away, the Queen Mother asked the Queen Mother in confusion: "Before the incident at the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion, I wanted to form an alliance with them, but the Queen Mother disagreed. Why is it that now that something happened at their mansion, the Queen Mother wants to get close to them again?"
When the wife of Marquis Rong'an came to the Queen Mother for help, the Queen Mother thought that the Queen Mother would not even want to see her. She never expected that the Queen Mother not only met her, but also agreed to the request of the wife of Marquis Rong'an and promised her that she would release the prince within ten days.
"We can't even release the Duke, so how can we release him?"
The Queen Mother had given up hope on the Queen's stupidity. She glared at her and sighed, "I didn't want to make friends with them before because we didn't know the details of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion. If we rashly formed a marriage alliance, it would be hard to tell who would be in control. Now we are forming a marriage alliance because the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion is at the bottom of the valley. If we can get a piece of it, there will be plenty of benefits in the future.
The queen was puzzled.
"If the Rong'an Marquisate can't even save its own prince, what good can we do?"
The Queen Mother was so angry that her heart ached. She poked the Queen's head fiercely and said, "You are also a mother of two children. Why don't you use your brain a little bit?"
The queen's body trembled backwards after being poked, and she smiled awkwardly, "Mother, teach me."
The Queen Mother said angrily: "Let me ask you, why didn't the Emperor kill the Duke of Zhenguo?"
The Queen blurted out, "Of course they are afraid of our military power."
The Queen Mother asked, "What's the matter with the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion? Why is the Emperor also keeping the Crown Prince hanging?"
The queen was startled.
The Queen Mother said, "The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion is an old family. It has been handling the affairs of the imperial merchants since the last emperor, and there has never been any problem.
If the prince had not obtained a fur shop from the Nanchong County Magistrate and aroused your majesty's suspicion, and then there was the explosion of the shop, do you think they would have overturned?"
The queen shook her head subconsciously.
The Queen Mother asked, "Where did the money go after the Rong'an Marquisate was embezzled for so many years?"
The queen suddenly opened her eyes wide.
All the money that could be used was basically used for military expenses.
"My Queen Mother means that they have a private army?"
The Queen Mother said, "I'm not sure, but I know that when Su Qingqing died, Rong'an Hou also contributed to it. If he was clean, why would he be afraid of Su Qingqing?"
"But, if the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion is so powerful, even if we rescue the prince, relying on the relationship between the prince and the Rong'an Marquis, or relying on the relationship between the third lady and the prince..."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to the Queen, the fool.
"Do you think that Marquis Rong'an really only cares about Rong San and not the Crown Prince? If he didn't care about the Crown Prince, then the account book wouldn't have fallen into the Crown Prince's hands. In other words, if he didn't care about the Crown Prince, then why did the Crown Prince target the Crown Prince instead of Rong San?"
The Queen opened her eyes wide.
The Queen Mother spat at her, "Fool, Rong San's brain is clearly used as a decoy by Rong An Hou. You are the only one who is stupid enough to give her to the second brother."
As the two were talking, the Queen Mother's trusted nanny came in from outside with a serious expression.
"My lady."
She rarely looked so solemn. The Queen Mother's eyebrows jumped immediately, "What's wrong?"
The mammy looked around.
In fact, when the Empress Dowager and the Queen were talking just now, those who were able to stay and serve were all considered their confidants and there was no need to be too shy.
But the nanny's behavior made the empress dowager feel uneasy, and the queen also pinched her hands.
When the attendants left, the nanny immediately said, "Madam, I have just received news that King Yu is still alive."
The Queen Mother was holding a cup of tea in her hand. When she heard the words, her hand trembled and the cup rolled down.
The Queen Mother stood up and asked, "What did you say?"
She stood up too quickly, and the moment she stood up, her vision went dark and she fell heavily backwards.
The queen was so frightened that she hurried to help him, "Mother."
The Queen Mother pushed the Queen away with an unpleasant expression, put one hand on her forehead and pointed at the Nanny with the other hand, "What did you say?"
