Chapter 329



329 Xu Pingzhi, just you two wait (1)

“However, one year, for some reason, Imperial father flew into a rage and banished Imperial mother to the cold Palace. He even wanted to depose her. However, the civil and military officials admonished him and sent him back. At that time, I hadn’t even started to remember.” Princess huaiqing said helplessly,

“Even though mother came out of the cold Palace the next year, Imperial father no longer went to mother’s Palace. The fourth Imperial brother was also given the cold shoulder because of this. And bengong has never been liked by Imperial father since I was young.

“Noble Consort Chen is actually a very jealous and narrow-minded person. Even though the first Prince was later made the Crown Prince, she was still worried and has always been hostile to me and my fourth Imperial brother.

“This isn’t my narrow view. Do you know why Lin ‘an and I are at loggerheads?”

“Did noble Consort Chen instigate this?” Xu Qian’s heart stirred.

Huaiqing nodded slowly,”Lin ‘an is deeply doted on by Imperial father, and he indulges her in every way possible.” In the first few years, imperial consort Chen was worried that the crown prince’s position would be unstable and often incited Lin ‘an to stir up trouble and make things difficult for me. ”

Poor Lin. an, you must have bullied her very badly … Although it was Lin ‘an who started the trouble, Xu Qi’ an still felt sorry for Lin ‘an. It was not that he liked to frame Lin’ an. The first wife and the second wife, the palm and the back of the hand were all meat.

She only felt that with her status, she would be bullied to death by huaiqing.

On second thought, this might be what noble Consort Chen wanted. The more she understood her daughter, the more she would provoke her, and only then would she achieve the effect.

Just think about it, Emperor Yuan jing doted on Lin ‘an, but was repeatedly bullied by huaiqing until he cried. How could Emperor Yuan jing not hate huaiqing?

“What’s the reason for Your Majesty’s deferment?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“There was no reason, so the ministers remonstrated to the death.” Huaiqing shook his head.

The dethroned Empress was the same as the dethroned Crown Prince. It was the emperor’s family matter and also a National matter. Even scholars and physicians could not divorce their wives easily, let alone the Empress, the mother of the world.

There was no reason for the officials to agree to Emperor Yuan jing depose the Empress.

However, if there was no reason, why would Emperor Yuan jing suddenly fly into a rage and depose the Empress?

There must be a hidden story behind this.

“How many years did this happen in the yuanjing realm?” After Xu Qi ‘an asked, he felt that he was being too nosy, so he added, ”

It might be related to the fu Fei case … Ah, no, this humble servant did not mean to doubt the Empress.”

Princess huaiqing turned her head and glanced at him.”If you’re curious, just ask. Why do you need so many reasons?”

……. Xu Qi ‘an was a little embarrassed.

“The 13th year of yuanjing.” Huaiqing retracted his gaze and looked into the distance.”I don’t know the reason. Even after I asked mother many times, she didn’t answer.”

The 13th year of yuanjing. It sounded familiar … “Thank you for telling me, Princess,” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

He had thought that Emperor Yuan jing did not appoint the fourth prince because the Crown Prince was stupid, but now it seemed that there was a deeper reason behind it.

That’s right, although the Crown Prince wasn’t particularly smart, how good could the fourth prince be … Well, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that the fourth prince was hiding his strength … He would turn around and ask the Duke of Wei. With his sharp eyes, the fourth prince would do as he said.

After taking a few steps, huaiqing suddenly said, “”Why did you end it in a hurry today? With your ability, you don’t need to go home and “consider.””

Xu Qi ‘an felt that since huaiqing was more honest with him, he should be more honest with him as well. This would help maintain a good relationship.

“I’m just trying to buy some time.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“Buy time?” Huaiqing frowned.

yes, ” Xu Qi ‘an said helplessly as he sniffed the eldest princess’s faint body fragrance.

“I have offended too many people in the Sangbo case and the Yunzhou case. His Majesty does not like me, so he originally planned to confer upon me the title of Viscount. However, it was cancelled due to my resurrection.

later, His Majesty promised that as long as he investigated Consort Fu’s case, he would reappoint me as the son of Changle County.

It’s too difficult for me.

“Do you think that father will go back on his word?” “That’s a good plan,” agreed Princess huaiqing.”You’ll delay the appointment for one day.”

Xu Qi ‘an looked at her in surprise. As expected of Wei Yuan’s disciple, her thoughts were synchronized.

The so-called ‘a King does not play with his words’ did not mean that the Emperor would not lie. It described the state policies and imperial edicts issued by the Emperor.

Therefore, as long as Emperor Yuan jing did not confer a title of nobility, Xu Qi ‘an would delay it for one day, in case the dog Emperor went back on his words.

“It’s getting late, this humble servant will return to the residence first.” Xu Qi ‘an looked at the sky. If they went back now, they could still make it for lunch.

“Yes.” Huaiqing nodded.

……..

On the other side, in Emperor Yuan jing’s bedroom.

An hour before lunch, Emperor Yuan jing, who had finished his meditation, returned to his chamber. His companion ran in happily and said with a smile, ”

“Your Majesty, there’s been major progress in Consort Fu’s case, major progress!”

Emperor Yuan jing was stunned. He immediately put on a serious expression and said in a deep voice, “”Speak,” he said.

The old eunuch relayed the information reported by the young eunuch to Emperor Yuan jing without missing a single word. The latter listened in silence and did not express his opinion.

“Your Majesty …” “May I ask if the Crown Prince is innocent?” the old eunuch lowered his head and asked.

Emperor Yuan jing shook his head slightly and said,”it’s too early …” In just two days, he was able to get a preliminary understanding of the case. Xu Qi ‘an is indeed a talent, but he’s a little more cunning.”

Hmph! he snorted coldly. go and urge the cabinet to draft the edict as soon as possible. There’s no need to choose an auspicious day.

Last time, he had asked the old eunuch to go to the cabinet to deliver the edict. The cabinet accepted it, but it was delayed on the grounds that there were no auspicious days recently.

“Yes, sir.”

………..

Second uncle Xu, who was in charge of the day patrol, returned to the manor with his helmet in his arms. The saber at the back of his waist swayed with his footsteps.

There was an hour of rest at noon. As the centurion, Xu Pingzhi would return to the manor at this time to eat and drink tea.
