"Prince Chen has only told me a little about Crown Prince Xuanyuan Rui. As for the other things that can be considered to be classified as royal secrets, I have guessed them myself." Xie Qingrong shook his head and replied honestly.
Actually, it's not hard to guess. Since the mother Gu was named as the mother, it would definitely suppress the other party and absorb him.
If he understood this point, he could naturally guess why Emperor Xuanyuan was able to extend his lifespan.
"Since Little Xie is so intelligent, why don't we guess who buried this mother Gu inside the empress's body?" Emperor Xuanyuan was interested as he further probed Xie Qingrong.
He wanted to test Xie Qingrong.
As expected, Xie Qingrong did not disappoint him. After a moment of thought, she gave the most accurate answer, "If my guess is not wrong, the person who planted the mother Gu in the Empress's body should be the Snow that is currently imprisoned in the cold palace."
Emperor Xuanyuan could not resist praising, "Little Xie was only half right, but he has already guessed the most important step."
Xie Qingrong finished the rest of the medicine, "The person who gave the Snow's mother Gu should be the Imperial Consort Ye."
Emperor Xuanyuan clapped his hands, crisp and clear applause sounded out from the imperial study, praising Xie Qingrong in great delight: "Xiao Xie, it's his fortune that Chen Er was able to marry you."
Xie Qingrong was not pleased with the praise of the Emperor Xuanyuan, she only smiled and accepted the praise.
"How did you know that the Snow had planted a mother's Gu in the Empress's body? Almost everyone who knew about this went to see the King of Hell." Although the Emperor Xuanyuan admired and appreciated it, the bewilderment in his heart still existed.
Xie Qingrong stood up, and suddenly knelt in front of Emperor Xuanyuan. Emperor Xuanyuan was slightly shocked, as he didn't know what Xie Qingrong wanted to do, and thus didn't stop him from doing so.
knelt on the ground and respectfully explained everything she knew to Emperor Xuanyuan.
At this point, there was nothing to hide.
Back then, after Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Jing had exposed the case of the shocked buyers, they went to various places to plunder the homes of corrupt officials. After finishing their plundering, they returned back to the capital.
At the Emperor Xuanyuan's banquet, Xie Qingrong felt that the banquet was very boring and went out to relax. Unexpectedly, she was attracted by a white cat named Huan Xue and chased after her, accidentally entering the vicinity of the cold light.
After meeting the Snow, they had a chat with him.
Xie Qingrong narrated what had happened between her and the Snow to the Emperor Xuanyuan, and indicated the biggest part of it that caused her to be suspicious, "The Empress of the Snow had once said a sentence to this son of hers. She said that she was merely a shield pushed out by the Emperor to protect her loved one.
But as far as I know, the Emperor has never used that concubine as a shield. Therefore, this son concludes that Snow is lying. Moreover, this son naturally has a heavy burden in his heart between the Snow and Empress. "
The Emperor Xuanyuan laughed and said: "I didn't expect Little Xie to be able to speculate a lot from those ordinary and ordinary words. She is just like your mother, an extremely intelligent woman."
Xie Qingrong only smiled slightly upon hearing this and continued, "This son thanks Your Majesty for his praise. As for the matter regarding the fourth prince, although this son of mine is still young, I have heard of it. Since the Fourth Prince appeared from the Snow, then this matter must have some sort of important connection with the Snow.
It's just that why Snow is safe and sound, I presume the Emperor wants to get the antidote for the daughter Gu too. It's a pity that Snow doesn't have the antidote on him. The Fourth Prince has also become the scapegoat, and the real mastermind is still at large. "
Even Xie Qingrong could guess that the Fourth Prince was the scapegoat, but Shang Huaiyue's daughter was not someone to be looked down upon. It was a pity that she was not Xie Jing's daughter.
"Oh?" The Emperor Xuanyuan's interest was piqued. He turned to the side and continued to ask: "How do you know that the Fourth Prince is the scapegoat?"
"Because of the Emperor's indifference to the Lord of the King Jing and the hatred that he frequently exposes towards the Imperial Consort Ye." Xie Qingrong proposed to cut straight to the point.
Long ago, she had seen Emperor Xuanyuan occasionally look at Imperial Consort Ye with a hint of hatred, but that hatred flashed extremely quickly and she had only caught it a few times.
As for the Lord's indifference, it was completely her guess. If the Emperor hated his concubine, then he wouldn't care too much for the prince that his concubine gave birth to.
Emperor Xuanyuan took a small sip of hot tea and placed the teacup on the table beside him.
Standing up, he was somewhat skinny, but he could not conceal the imposing aura exuding from his emperor. "Little Xie is very intelligent, and I believe he understands the principle of the Worm of Hundred Feet dying without being stiff. The Ye Family had been thriving for hundreds of years, but behind their prosperity, their ambition had only grown.
Although Emperor Taizu had written that the Xuanyuan empress had to come from the eldest grandson's family, the eldest grandson's family was after all only a generation of civil servants, and could not compare to the Ye family's flourishing branches. The empress's thoughts were simple, I don't want her to be troubled by these matters.
"However, the Ye Clan has stretched out their hands too long. They are looking at the harem and trying to seize Linglong's position. How can I bear it? I have to endure it. Even though the Ye Clan is no longer as prosperous as it was before, it still frightens me."
Xie Qingrong continued, "So the reason why Your Majesty has been unconscious for a few times, is to let the Prime Minister Ye see the light, and then catch you all in one fell swoop. If necessary, we can even sacrifice some people. "
His expression was cold and his tone was very indifferent, but the words he said were actually quite outrageous.
"Is Little Xie blaming us or Chen Er? To use you as bait and lure a snake out of its cave? " Emperor Xuanyuan asked.
This question was very good, Xie Qingrong herself also wanted to know.
He had clearly told himself countless times in his heart to believe in Xuanyuan Chen. Even at the very last moment, she was indeed saved, and he was able to save his in time.
However, no one knew that when she unhurriedly extended her noble head towards the guillotine, it was actually because she wanted to die.
In this past half a year, she had repeatedly risked her life with Xuanyuan Chen, and had long given herself to Xuanyuan Chen in an extremely calm manner.
If Xuanyuan Chen didn't make it in time, it could also be considered as having loved him with all his heart.
It was truly strange that she would have such thoughts. At that time, this was what she felt in her heart.
He risked his life for revenge.
Xie Qingrong closed her eyes. She did not know how to answer Emperor Xuanyuan's question, and could only answer it in silence.
With regards to Xie Qingrong's silence, Emperor Xuanyuan only smiled slightly. Whose wife would he be coaxed by?
Xie Qingrong pondered for a while, and finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most. "Your Majesty, you summoned me here today, not just to talk about this with your son, right?"
"Oh?" The Emperor Xuanyuan asked: "Then what does Little Xie think I want to talk about?"
Xie Qingrong suppressed all the hostility in her heart, lowered her head, and said coldly: "Your Majesty's actions are just to invite this son to a good show, a good show of coercing a palace."
