After leaving the side courtyard, he ordered people to keep an eye on Qin Fanghao. He was also in a confused mood, so he simply returned to the study.
He needs to do something now to calm down.
Qin Rushuang today frightened him so much, and at the same time, he felt a secret worry.
"My lord, why didn't you tell the princess that you came back today because you were worried about her?"
"There's no need to talk about this anymore, and there's no need to tell her specifically."
What should he say?
Could it be that I was worried that Qin Rushuang was addicted to acid and that she would eat hawthorn by mistake? For the sake of that very slim possibility, I left the soldiers in training and rushed back home.
Halfway through, I remembered that the food in the palace was not that careless at all, but I still wanted to go back to the palace to see her, so I stubbornly wanted to come back and see her again.
Will Qin Rushuang believe it?
Xie Xun immediately rejected this guess in his heart.
No, she won't believe it.
In this case, what else is necessary to say...
As secret guards, Ying 1 and 2 were supposed to obey orders in the dark, but the recent events in the palace's back house were too confusing, and they couldn't help it.
"My lord, who do you think is lying between the princess and Miss Qin today?"
Xie Xun frowned. According to his understanding of Qin Rushuang, it was impossible for Qin Rushuang to do such a desperate thing without being completely sure.
But now that things have broken out, many people will know about it soon.
If Qin Rushuang was allowed to drink the bowl of abortion pills, it might not end well later.
Xie Xun suddenly realized that what he thought he would be worried about was the child in Qin Fanghao's belly, but now that things really happened, he was more worried about Qin Rushuang's situation.
If others knew about this matter, Qin Rushuang would probably be punished.
Thinking of this, he said: "Go to the palace and ask an imperial doctor to diagnose your pulse. Don't ask the imperial doctor Cao, and don't ask the imperial doctor Qin Fang knows well. Find someone with a handsome face."
"Let's send a few people to guard the side courtyard from now on. This matter cannot be rushed. We will naturally find out in four or five months."
"By the way, if we can hide this matter from the noble concubine, then we should hide it first and let the people below not talk too much."
Xie Xun gave this order because, firstly, he did not want to worry about his mother-in-law worrying about this matter, and secondly, he was afraid that his mother-in-law would blame Qin Rushuang.
The same thing happened to Qin Rushuang. She also wanted to hide it from the imperial concubine and the emperor.
It's not that she doesn't trust the imperial concubine and is afraid that the imperial concubine will favor Qin Fang, but she knows that the imperial concubine and the emperor are old after all. As this person gets older, his heart softens and he pays more attention to his children.
There is no room for mistakes in the matter of Qin Fanghao.
Because of the tacit understanding between Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang, a gag order was issued in the palace and no one was allowed to mention what happened that afternoon.
It's just that Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun's orders can control the mouths of their servants, but they can't control Qin Fanghao's mouth.
Qin Fang didn't know what trick he used to get the news to Aunt Liu.
General's Mansion.
"Master! Master! Qin Rushuang is killing someone. How can she doubt her own sister!"
Aunt Liu really went all out today. She broke into General Qin's study and started acting up, regardless of the servants' obstruction.
"Get up quickly! Look what you look like!"
"I can't afford it! My daughter will be killed when I get up! You said they are all sisters of the same compatriots. Why would Qin Rushuang harm my daughter to such an extent? Even if she cannot see that she is pregnant with the prince's child, there is no need to be so cruel.
Methods!"
"Master, do you know that she didn't ask anything and just gave Fang Hao the abortion pill? Can the pill be drunk casually? Even if she suspected that there was something wrong with the child in Fang Hao's belly, she should provide evidence before speaking.
!”
"I don't care! Master, you must take Fang Hao back to the palace. I'm afraid she won't survive in the palace!"
Upon hearing this, General Qin's first reaction was to refuse.
"Confused! You stupid woman, are you really confused? How can a married daughter be taken back to her parents' home? If she is taken back, how can she go to the palace again? Are you going to raise her for the rest of her life?"
"Let's not talk about all this for now. Fang Hao went back to his parents' house for no reason. For those who don't know, he thought he was divorced by the prince. Where do you want to put the dignity of the General's Mansion?"
Aunt Liu finally understood that General Qin was at odds with both sides, and neither side wanted to help!
I just want my two daughters to make trouble in the palace by themselves, and I don’t want to get any fishy smell from them!
But how can there be such a good thing in this world?
"Master, don't blame me for not reminding you. Now Qin Rushuang covers the sky with one hand in the palace. If she is found guilty of Fang Hao's crime, it will bring trouble to the emperor's heirs. When the Holy Spirit blames Fang Hao, Fang Hao will not be able to save his life.
Our whole family will also suffer!"
General Qin was stunned.
Yes, how could he forget this!
Both of them are his daughters. No matter who loses, he will not be able to get away with any crime related to Huang Si!
If the child is fake, then it is his concubine who has done something to bring trouble to Huang Si;
If that child is real, then it is his legitimate daughter who killed the royal heir for no reason!
Both are felonies!
"This... what should I do?" Seeing that Aunt Liu wanted to bring his daughter back to the house again, he waved his sleeves and refused: "It is absolutely impossible to bring Fang Hao back to the house! Think of another way!"
Aunt Liu didn't originally have such an idea. She received her daughter's letter and knew what her daughter wanted her to do.
"Master, Fang Hao risked his life to hand over the letter to me. She said that she really couldn't stand this kind of unwarranted slander. Qin Rushuang suspected that the child in her belly was fake and wanted her to take abortion pills. Now the prince has given her the right medicine.
He said that he wanted to let her have peace of mind to raise the baby, and only wait until four or five months later to see if she is pregnant."
"As long as the master finds a way to separate the two sisters, no one can harm the other. Then won't the truth be revealed in four or five months?"
General Qin looked hesitant, "Are you really sure that Fang Hao has a child in his belly...?"
Aunt Liu was almost so angry that she couldn't even come up!
"How can you be a father like this! You are really out of your mind! How can a father doubt his daughter?! Would Fang Hao joke about something like this?! Even if no one in the world believes in Fang Hao, you
As his father and mother, I should also believe her!"
General Qin knew that he was wrong, so he said sarcastically: "Then tell me how to separate the two of them?"
Aunt Liu's eyes turned, "Of course we can't be the masters of the prince's backyard. Why don't you go and ask the noble concubine to come up with a solution? After all, it is a matter of the heavenly family, and it must be decided by the people of the heavenly family.
yes."
"Then I'll talk to the noble concubine first. It's better not to let the emperor know about this matter."
"No!" Aunt Liu blurted out immediately. She didn't want to make her purpose too clear, so she changed her words.
"Master, think about it, the emperor has paid more and more attention to the issue of heirs in recent years. If the emperor is the last to know, will he blame the master?"
"Furthermore, a former important minister of the dynasty went to find a woman in the harem... Even though he is an in-law, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"
Aunt Liu secretly observed General Qin's expression, and Qin Fanghao told her in the letter that she must let His Majesty and the noble concubine know about this matter.
Aunt Liu herself knew that the imperial concubine was too fond of Qin Rushuang, so she had to let the emperor know about it. After all, the emperor valued his heirs, and only if Qin Fang had a chance of survival.
General Qin thought about it all night and finally agreed.
So the affairs between Qin Rushuang and Qin Fanghao were found out by the emperor and the imperial concubine the next day.
When the servants from the palace came to inform them, neither Qin Rushuang nor Xie Xun reacted.
"What did you say? Let us enter the palace?"
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty and the imperial concubine have an invitation. They are just talking about common things. The princess does not need to be nervous."
Although the little eunuch said this, Qin Rushuang's heart skipped a beat.
She guessed that the good news between herself and Qin Fang was reported to His Majesty and his mother-in-law by someone who was interested.
Qin Rushuang signaled Qingzhi to give the little eunuch some silver. Qingzhi immediately took a heavy money bag and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand: "Father-in-law, how are the emperor and the noble concubine these days?"
She asked about the body, but actually what she wanted to inquire about was the attitude of the emperor and the concubine.
On a normal day, the young eunuch would accept such an innocuous little money with a smile, and both parties would be happy.
But this time, he slowly handed the wallet back to Qingzhi's hand.
"The princess and the prince will know after they go there."
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun looked at each other, and they had a rare agreement: it seems that the emperor and his mother-in-law attach great importance to this matter this time.
