Chapter 230 Shot (one more)
Emperor Jingxuan was pondering the content of the imperial decree when he heard the report of the little eunuch, and Concubine Xian asked to see him.
Emperor Jingxuan frowned inadvertently.
Eunuch Fu calmly glanced at Emperor Jingxuan, considered it for a while, but didn’t say anything.
The little **** Fu lowered his body and waited outside, not daring to breathe.
Emperor Jingxuan was very fond of Concubine Xian. Generally, Concubine Xian asked to see him, and Emperor Jingxuan met directly, but Emperor Jingxuan was not in a good mood today.
Emperor Jingxuan sighed: “Forget it, let Concubine Xian come in.”
“Yes.”
The little **** withdrew.
Not long after, Concubine Xian came to the imperial study with a worried look.
Her frowns, smiles, and even every look in her eyes were carefully designed to ensure that Emperor Jingxuan looked at her beyond measure from any angle.
“Your Majesty!”
She bowed in tears.
Emperor Jingxuan knew that Concubine Xian was going to do it again when he saw this situation, but he didn’t think it would really be an earth-shattering event.
He guessed that he went to the Queen’s Palace and sat down, making Concubine Xian jealous.
The harem never lacked women, and there was no shortage of jealous women, but only Concubine Xian had the courage to show jealousy.
Emperor Jingxuan liked Concubine Xian’s straightforwardness, which was occasionally annoying, but generally harmless.
“Is your body better?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.
Concubine Xian said aggrieved: “Your Majesty still remembers that the concubine is not feeling well, did you forget that you haven’t been to the palace of the concubine for a few days?”
Emperor Jingxuan smiled: “I’ve been too busy these days, I neglected my concubine Ai, it’s my fault.”
Concubine Xian came to Emperor Jingxuan delicately.
Eunuch Fu made a gesture to the palace people in the imperial study, and everyone understood and withdrew one by one.
Eunuch Fu couldn’t leave, he had to serve Emperor Jingxuan.
Unless Emperor Jing Xuan ordered him to avoid it.
Concubine Xian said: “Your Majesty, the concubine came here today to tell me something important.”
“Oh?” Emperor Jingxuan put down the book and glanced at Eunuch Fu.
Emperor Fu understood and immediately brought a stool over and asked Concubine Xian to sit next to Emperor Jingxuan.
Concubine Xian said, “I don’t dare to sit down.”
Emperor Jingxuan smiled: “What is it that makes Concubine Ai so solemn?”
Concubine Xian’s grievance carried a trace of worry: “Does your Majesty think that your concubines only know how to fight and be jealous all day long?”
Emperor Jingxuan smiled helplessly: “I didn’t say that.”
Concubine Xian said solemnly: “Your Majesty, the matter that the concubine wants to report is very important, and I hope your majesty will forgive the concubine first.”
Emperor Jingxuan said: “I love the concubine but it’s okay to say that I will not punish you for your sins.”
Concubine Xian said: “Your Majesty, it is now spread all over the palace and outside the palace, Qin Che of Duke Huguo’s mansion is not Qin Canglan’s real son-in-law.”
Emperor Jingxuan nodded: “Yes, he is Qin Canglan’s half-brother, and I hereby give him the name Qin Jiang.”
Qin and Su did not deliberately conceal the news, and it is not surprising that it spread.
Concubine Xian is really suspicious.
Concubine Xian continued: “I also heard that Qin Canglan’s son who was living in the people is now named Su Cheng. He has a son and a daughter, who are the same age as Qin Yanran’s sister and brother.”
Emperor Jingxuan asked, “Is Concubine Ai worried about the marriage between the third child and the Duke Protector’s Mansion?”
“Of course the concubine is worried, the concubine only has such a son… I wish I could give him the best woman in the world…”
Concubine Xian did not deny that, the more straightforward she was, the more she appeared to have no scheming, the more favored her by Emperor Jing Xuan.
The queen always acted like a leak-tight, but it made Emperor Jingxuan unhappy.
Emperor Jingxuan was also having a headache about this marriage, so he didn’t speak for a long time.
Concubine Xian said again: “It stands to reason that Your Majesty has decreed that His Majesty the Third Highness will marry the eldest young lady of the Duke Huguo Mansion. The girl Su who grew up in the folk is the one.”
Emperor Jingxuan frowned and said, “She got married in the countryside.”
Concubine Xian said: “The concubine is here for this matter. Your Majesty, do you know who her husband is?”
Emperor Jingxuan asked, “Who?”
Concubine Xian said sternly, “Jun Wu’an’s youngest grandson Wei Ting!”
Emperor Jingxuan was startled.
Concubine Xian complained: “Your Majesty, the concubine also only heard about it. It turned out that the Wei family boy refused to marry Hui’an because he was interested in the daughter of the Duke Huguo! He already has a sweetheart, so why not speak up? Lied to go to the temple to practice—”
Concubine Xian’s words seem to be complaining about Wei Ting’s ruthlessness, but in fact, she is exposing Wei Ting’s deception of the king, and Wei Ting’s secret relationship with the Qin family.
Emperor Jingxuan frowned: “Where did you hear it? Is there any evidence?”
Concubine Xian said firmly: “If Your Majesty doesn’t believe it, just call Wei Ting over to question him! He has cultivated well in the temple, and he doesn’t return to Beijing early or late, but the three members of the Su family came to Beijing to recognize their relatives. He came back with him, Your Majesty, don’t you think it’s too coincidental?”
Eunuch Fu was also shocked.
That lady Su’s husband… is actually the youngest son of the Wei family?
The Qin family and the Wei family are mortal enemies!
How could they be together? Besides, isn’t Wei Ting practicing in a temple?
If what Concubine Xian said was true, then Wei Ting was not only guilty of deceiving the king.
Secretly win over the Qin family and the Su family, what does Wei Ting want?
Rebellion?
Emperor Jingxuan immediately sent him to the Wei family, and Xuan Weiting entered the palace.
Wei Ting was not in the Wei family, but Yuchi Xiu was there.
When he saw the situation, he immediately went to Lihua Alley.
Wei Ting entered the palace after finishing his clothes.
Concubine Xian didn’t leave, she was waiting to confront Wei Ting.
Emperor Jingxuan had no other nonsense and asked straight to the point: “Tell me honestly, did you stay in the temple before returning to Beijing? I can send someone to the temple to investigate, but once I investigate, you will not beg for mercy. There is room.”
Wei Ting asked calmly: “Why did your majesty say this?”
Emperor Jingxuan said solemnly: “Some people said that you got married in Qingzhou, and your wife is the eldest lady of the Duke Huguo’s house.”
Wei Ting pretended not to see Concubine Xian, who was beside him, and asked unruly, “I dare to ask Your Majesty, who are you listening to?”
Concubine Xian coldly snorted: “This palace told His Majesty! Wei Ting, you won’t deny it, will you?”
Wei Ting asked lukewarmly, “What does Concubine Xian want me to admit?”
“Stop pretending to be garlic in front of Your Majesty and Ben Gong!” Concubine Xian said coldly, then turned to look at Emperor Jingxuan, “Your Majesty, in order to prove the identities of Su Cheng and the three of them to Qin Canglan, Zhenbei Hou’s Mansion specially brought a couple of them from the village. If you have a personal certificate, if Wei Ting married someone from their village, call them over to recognize him!”
Wei Ting’s eyes sank.
Emperor Jingxuan pondered for a moment: “Xuan!”
…
Old Master Su and Su Dalang have been under house arrest in Zhenbei Hou’s mansion since they came to the capital. The two were frightened for a long time, lest they would be silenced by the people of Zhenbei Hou’s mansion.
Knowing that Su Cheng’s life experience is so powerful, they would never secretly pick up Su Cheng’s jade pendant.
Forget it, what’s the use of regretting it now?
“You can go!”
The servant of the Su Mansion opened the door and threw the burden of the two back to them.
Su Dalang couldn’t believe it: “I, we really… can leave?”
The little servant sneered: “What? Want to eat and drink in the house for a lifetime?”
Su Dalang hurriedly said: “No, no, let’s go now!”
Su Dalang was also a famous figure in the village, but when he came to the capital, he realized that he was just an ant on the ground.
They couldn’t afford to offend even the lowest servant in the house.
The two grandfathers staggered out of the house, ready to ask for directions and see if they could find a cheap caravan to go back together.
The two were stopped by a carriage before they took a few steps.
