Chapter 300 Serious
Su Qingqing was stunned for a moment.
This was not the first time she had heard Wang Yu being asked to send someone.
Jixiang suggested that Wang Yu send someone to add a few guards to Su Qingqing's palace so that she could feel at ease.
Nanny Xu suggested that Wang Yu send someone to add a few palace maids to Su Qingqing's side so that she could use them with peace of mind.
Rong Que had mentioned before that he wanted Wang Yu to send some reliable men from the Su family army to come here...
Now Rong Que said again.
She looked at Rong Que, and Rong Que allowed her to look at him with a frank expression on his face, not revealing the fact that she was pregnant and had a little miscarriage.
"No matter how many people I deploy, they are just taking things from one place to fill another, which is easy to be detected. Once they are detected, the other party will definitely make other preparations, and then there will be no point for us to keep an eye on them.
Take this incident for example, there was one Minghe missing from my side, and the other party should have guessed that Minghe was the one sent to guard the cold palace.
What are the results?
This was something that caught us off guard.
So, I can’t send anyone, it’s too obvious.
It would be best if I send someone to watch them openly. You can pick two more people from outside to come in and watch them secretly. Once the other party makes a move, we will be able to clearly find out how they succeeded."
Su Qingqing understood Rong Que's meaning . She didn't think much about it and just thought it was for the current matter. "Okay, I'll let Wang Yu arrange it."
Rong Que was silent for a moment, "If there is a girl, it would be better if there is none."
His plan was very simple. This time he would bring in a group of people, and then keep them in the palace. He would gradually add more people to the palace and then replace them one by one.
Until everything used in the entire palace is reliable.
He wanted to clean this huge palace inside and out.
Concubine Qi was put under house arrest, which caused an uproar at the morning court the next day.
Duke Xue considered himself a wealthy and idle man and did not attend the morning court, but the thing that was most lacking in this court was children of aristocratic families.
Led by the Minister of Rites, Lord Xu, under the banner of establishing peaceful diplomatic relations between the two countries, they demanded that Rong Que release Concubine Qi.
As a staunch royalist, He Chao would of course stand on Rong Que's side. Standing in the court, He Chao, dressed in an official uniform and looking dignified, looked at the Minister of Rites intently.
"May I ask Lord Xu, is the reason for releasing Concubine Qi because she is a princess of the Great Qi or for some other reason?
If you say that because Concubine Qi is a princess of the Great Qi, and we don't have such a rule in the Great Yan Dynasty, then should we pardon her crime just because she is a princess of a neighboring country?
Not to mention the distant past, even during the reign of the late emperor, Concubine Xin was also a princess of Southern Liang. At that time, Concubine Xin was suspected of poisoning concubines, and it was the Empress Dowager who personally ordered Concubine Xin to be thrown into the Sky Prison.
The Sky Prison is much more serious than house arrest.
Concubine Xin was only suspected of poisoning, but Concubine Qi was different. There was a word "Qi" on the name of the concubine at the crime scene.
Someone has died. Your Majesty just confined her to investigate the case. How could Lord Xu be so excited? If you don't know, you would think Lord Xu was following the laws of Da Qi!"
The Minister of Rites turned pale when He Chao accused him of treason.
"Lord He, please be careful with your words. I proposed to release Concubine Qi because I am loyal to the emperor. There are only two queens in the palace. The queen has put Concubine Qi under house arrest. How will the people of the world view the queen? Can the reputation of being jealous be imposed on the queen without any reason?"
Huang Zhaozhong, the Jingzhao Yin who was standing beside him, muttered, "If you don't tell the people of the world, who in the world has the ability to see and hear things from afar and know what's going on in the palace?"
"Don't be so unreasonable!" said an official from a noble family nearby.
Huang Zhaozhong rolled his eyes. "How is this nonsense? I want to ask you, you said that the people of the world are accusing the Queen, but how do the people of the world know what Your Majesty had for breakfast today?"
The official from the aristocratic family was stunned by his question.
Huang Zhaozhong said, "They don't know what your majesty eats for breakfast, so how do they know that Concubine Qi is under house arrest? Hasn't Concubine Qi been staying in her own courtyard since she entered the palace?
There is not much difference between those who are under house arrest and those who are not, so how do the people of the world know so much about it?
I think that whenever a rumor is spread, it must be deliberately instigated by someone.
Anyone who proposed to release Concubine Qi in the court today will be a suspect!"
Huang Zhaozhong finished speaking, then turned to the emperor and said righteously: "Your Majesty, as the father and mother official , I have the responsibility and obligation to help Your Majesty solve problems and arrest those who spread rumors and trouble and put them in jail for strict interrogation."
This is clearly stated.
If there is any rumor, I will deal with you!
Huang Zhaozhong is quite different from He Chao.
He Chao likes to play dirty tricks and play tricks.
Huang Zhaozhong was different. When the Duke of Zhenguo was still in power, Huang Zhaozhong, a small official in the capital, dared to go against the Duke of Zhenguo. He was an extremely stubborn man.
And whoever he wants to kill, he will do it openly and directly!
Ever since he became the Jingzhao Yin, he would arrest anyone who was guilty without giving anyone face.
But the evidence in his hand is all in order, so even if you want to beg for mercy, you can't open your mouth. This man doesn't want money and has no weaknesses. He has no parents, no wife, and no children. He is all alone and very stubborn.
What’s even more infuriating is that he has a bodyguard with pretty good kung fu skills. No matter where he goes, this bodyguard follows him, making it impossible to assassinate him.
The few young men from noble families who had just been shouting suddenly backed off. Lord Xu glanced at Huang Zhaozhong and said, "Lord Huang, what you said is strange. How can we say that we spread the rumor? As officials appointed by the court, how could we make up rumors and cause trouble? If there is a rumor, couldn't it be spread by the palace people?"
He Chao smiled sinisterly, " I'm sorry, but the palace maids can't leave the palace, so how can we fly a kite? Just fly a kite and send it out? You must have read too many storybooks."
The Minister of Rites, Lord Xu, was choked to death. He could not defeat Huang Zhaozhong and He Chao, so he directly attacked the Emperor.
"Even so, Your Majesty, the Hundred Flowers Festival is coming soon. Can Concubine Qi not attend the banquet?"
Rong Que sat there expressionless, like a tool without emotions . "Maybe there will be solid evidence before the Hundred Flowers Festival? At that time, I will not be considering whether Concubine Qi will show up at the Hundred Flowers Festival, but who among you will escort Concubine Qi back to Da Qi."
After a technical pause, Rong Que continued, "Besides, we have found some clues now. Sir Xu, don't worry, it will be done soon."
The Minister of Rites, Lord Xu, felt a chill in his heart.
Found any clues?
Is the emperor trying to help him or is he serious?
