After returning to Prince Huai's Mansion, Xie Xun told Qin Rushuang what happened in the palace today in a few words.
There was some emotion in Xie Xun's tone, "I saw you pushing Qian Ertong into the court before, and I once questioned your decision. Now it seems that your ability to judge people is indeed much better than mine."
After Qin Rushuang heard this, she was actually very surprised inside.
She did not expect that Qian Ertong could handle the things she ordered so well, nor did she expect that he would be so comfortable in the court.
Before, his expectation for Qian Ertong was only to have someone of his own above the court who could report the happenings in the court to her at any time. It would be great if he could inquire about Emperor Qi's affairs by the way.
Unexpectedly, Qian Ertong far exceeded her expectations and was even able to help them shake his mind in front of Emperor Qi.
An idea suddenly came to Qin Rushuang's mind.
She said to Xie Xun: "Perhaps... Qian Ertong's position can be moved again. We can improve his position so that he can have more say in the relationship between the court and his father."
There is actually another reason why Qin Rushuang wants to push Qiandao upward.
As Emperor Qi's health became worse and worse, he might die at any time, and her and Xie Xun's power in the palace was no longer as powerful as that of the fourth prince Xie Yang.
Therefore, it is especially important to arrange for someone to stay by Emperor Qi's side when anything unexpected happens. This is especially important in the palace.
Xie Xun nodded, "Even if you didn't tell me, that's what I planned. It would be too unfair for such a talent to only stay in the Hanlin Academy."
But after Qin Rushuang finished speaking, she hesitated in her heart. She thought for a while and said to Xie Xun: "The higher you stand, the harder you fall. I can let Qian Ertong go further, but I hope the prince can promise me to protect his whole body in the future."
And retreat."
Xie Xun smiled and looked at Qin Rushuang helplessly.
He knew that Qin Rushuang only regarded her as a partner and a collaborator to achieve her goals, but didn't she understand what he meant?
Although Qin Rushuang regarded him as a collaborator, he always regarded Qin Rushuang as his beloved.
"Does this kind of thing require you to come to me personally to ask for this promise? Since you regard Qian Ertong and Qingzhi as relatives, they are also my relatives."
"No matter what the road ahead is, if he likes to make achievements in the court, I will naturally give my full support; if one day he feels tired and tired, I can also protect him and escape. Let him and Qingzhi return to the garden and live in the fields.
, enjoy the rest of your life in peace."
With Xie Xun's promise, Qin Rushuang felt relieved.
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun wanted to use Qian Ertong, and the fourth prince Xie Yang also wanted to do the same.
It's just that they want Qian Ertong to go up, while Xie Yang wants Qian Ertong to fall into a place of no return.
Xie Yang Fuzhong.
A man with sinister features and stern eyes, wearing a Taoist robe, was standing in front of him uneasily.
"Daozhang Liu, how about it? Can you do what I told you?"
This Daochang Liu was the person whom the Fourth Prince Xie Yang came to find after Emperor Qi fell ill.
He knew how to practice some elixirs, and after taking them, Emperor Qi became 100 times more energetic, but he only achieved this by burning his longevity.
He was the one who gave the elixir to Emperor Qi, so he naturally understood that Emperor Qi only had about two months to live.
Liu Daochang had a look of panic on his face, "Your Majesty, this matter is really true... Your Majesty only has two months to live. If you want to give His Majesty that thing again and then save it... you can save it, but you will lose some lifespan."
ah!"
It turned out that Xie Yang's idea was to let Daochang Liu poison Emperor Qi.
He had a plan in mind to kill two birds with one stone.
That is to poison Emperor Qi first, and then blame the poisoning on Qian Ertong, who is currently serving personally.
Finally, he took Daochang Liu to detoxify Emperor Qi.
In this way, he not only got his money back, but also got himself a reward from Emperor Qi, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the matter that will damage Emperor Qi's longevity...
Xie Yang's eyes darkened. He wouldn't live for long anyway. Father, don't blame your son!
But Xie Yang was determined, but Daochang Liu was still hesitant, "My lord, this is a crime of decapitation!"
Xie Yang glanced at him lightly, his tone full of threats.
"It's okay if Daochang Liu doesn't want to do it. Then you have to carefully consider the safety of your wife and children."
That's right, this Taoist priest Liu is a fake Taoist priest.
It cannot be said that he is a fake Taoist priest.
Daochang Liu did have some adventures when he was young. He became a disciple of an outstanding person, but later that person saw that he had an impure heart and expelled him from the disciples.
After no one restrained him, Taoist Liu completely let go. Not only did he deceive and kidnap the people, but he also married a beautiful woman and gave birth to a son.
Later, when the Fourth Prince Xie Yang recruited his staff, Daochang Liu developed a medicine that burned longevity and boosted people's energy for a short period of time as a stepping stone, and officially joined the Fourth Prince's command.
Xie Yang's threat was very effective, so Daochang Liu had no choice but to comply.
"Okay, I can develop that medicine for Your Majesty, but I developed that medicine. If Your Majesty drinks it and something goes wrong, Your Majesty will have to protect me!"
Xie Yang nodded: "That's natural. You are the most useful person under my command. Of course I want to protect your life. Not only that, when I shift the blame to Qian Ertong, you can take my father's place again."
Detoxification requires your reward."
Daochang Liu was originally a weak-minded person. When he heard what Xie Yang said, he was also attracted by the big cake drawn in his mouth.
His eyes revealed an evil light: "Okay, I'll go back and develop it right now!"
This time Xie Yang was determined to remove the thorn in the side of Qian Ertong.
Therefore, in addition to killing two birds with one stone, he also made other preparations.
For Emperor Qi, the reason why he likes Qian Ertong is, on the one hand, because Qian Ertong is indeed a good talker. He was born in that kind of status and can tell people what to eat.
On the other hand, it was because of Emperor Qi's observation that although Qian Ertong came from Prince Huai's Mansion, he never said a good word to Prince Huai in front of him after entering the court, nor did he say anything
Any bad words about the prince.
Although he did not ask Qian Ertong explicitly, Qian Ertong showed that he was only loyal to Emperor Qi and did not occupy the ranks of any other princes.
This is the most valuable thing for Emperor Qi, and it is also what he values most about Qian Ertong.
In addition to drugging Qian Ertong and framing Qian Ertong, the other thing Xie Yang wanted to do was to expose the relationship between Qin Ertong and Prince Huai's palace in front of Emperor Qi.
At least he wanted to know that Emperor Qi, Qian Ertong and Prince Huai were like grasshoppers on the same rope and had many personal relationships in private.
It is very simple to achieve this goal.
Emperor Qi was a very suspicious and ill person, so Xie Yang chose the most straightforward but most effective method, which was to turn a deaf ear to Emperor Qi.
From Qian Erzhong to Tong Qin Rushuang's side, he shared weal and woe with King Huai at the border;
Later, Qin Rushuang stood up for Qingzhi;
One by one, the four princes all talked to Emperor Qi again and again, consciously or unconsciously.
Emperor Qi lived up to expectations and planted seeds of doubt in his heart.
Xie Yang did not do things strictly this time, and Xie Xun soon got the news that he had turned a deaf ear in front of Emperor Qi.
He asked Qin Rushuang, "Should we arrange for Qian Ertong not to go to Prince Huai's Mansion these days?"
Qin Rushuang thought for a while, but rejected his suggestion.
"He can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime. He doesn't have to avoid the people following him, nor the eyes of others. If he has something to do, he can come to Prince Huai's Mansion as usual."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any way to deal with it?"
"Xie Yang, doesn't he like to sow discord? Then let's convict him of this crime."
"And as I said before, it is an inevitable fact that Qian Ertong often comes to Prince Huai's Mansion. Rather than letting my father continue to be so suspicious, it is better to take advantage of this time and solve his suspicion once and for all."
