Qingzhi squeezed the handkerchief excitedly, while Qian Ertong was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
"Great, great!"
Qin Rushuang looked at the excited couple and showed a kind smile.
When she heard the two talking about the recent situation of Qingzhi, she felt that the situation was vaguely familiar.
The situation seemed very similar to when she was first pregnant.
I have a bad appetite, my mood fluctuates too much, and I feel like crying from time to time.
Seeing that the young couple was happy and excited, Qin Rushuang quietly retreated, leaving space for the two of them.
Also going out with Qin Rushuang was Xie Xun.
"Were you like Qingzhi when you were pregnant before?"
Xie Xun's tone was filled with distress and guilt.
He could no longer remember what Qin Rushuang looked like when she was just diagnosed with pregnancy.
He only remembered that at that time, he thought the person he liked was Qin Fanghao, and thought that the whole night was all a design, and he was immersed in his anger towards Qin Rushuang.
I hate her for designing him, and I hate her for forcing her to marry into Prince Huai's palace.
When he heard Qin Rushuang say that she was pregnant, the first feeling in his heart was irritability, and a trace of panic that was not easily noticed by others.
Everything in the past can only be made up for in the future.
"It was my fault in the past. If there is a chance in the future..."
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows and said, "Allow me to remind you, Your Majesty, that our relationship is just a cooperative relationship now."
It's just a cooperative relationship, so where is the chance for her to get pregnant again?
Xie Xun never expected Qin Rushuang to give birth to another child for him. What he just said was out of emotion and he blurted it out.
At this time, Qin Rushuang clearly rejected him and even warned him to pay attention to his identity. Xie Xun felt that the thoughts in his heart were like someone pouring a bucket of cold water on him, and he suddenly calmed down.
All topics related to the past seem to be taboo between two people. No matter who brings it up, the relationship between the two usually ends sadly.
Xie Xun had to change the topic abruptly.
"Do we need to send a few people to Qian Ertong's side to follow him, just in case the fourth child jumps over the wall and hurts him?"
Qin Rushuang thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Having Qian Ertong lose his legs during the border crossing was already the thing she regretted most. She didn't want to see any accidents happen to the people she valued around her.
In the following days, Qian Ertong got Qin Rushuang's approval and came to Prince Huai's Mansion more and more unscrupulously.
Regardless of Emperor Qi's increasingly cold expression towards him, he almost always went to Prince Huai's Mansion every day after returning home from court, sometimes by himself, sometimes with his wife in person.
What followed was that Emperor Qi's attitude towards Qian Ertong became colder day by day.
But Qian Ertong didn't seem to notice Emperor Qi's cold attitude toward him at all, and continued to run to Prince Huai's Mansion all day long.
The change of things happened one day after going to court
Some people joked with him, saying that he was so diligent when returning to Prince Huai's Mansion, as if Prince Huai's Mansion was his second home.
Qian Ertong not only did not avoid suspicion, but said to the man very calmly, "I came from Prince Huai's Mansion, and what this gentleman said is not wrong."
Then a smile flashed across his face and he said: "That day, I took my wife to Prince Huai's Mansion, and when I came back, I was diagnosed to be pregnant. My wife had hugged the little prince before, and I think it was because of the concubine and the little prince.
The joy of the prince."
He was so straightforward and did not shy away from his relationship with Prince Huai's Mansion. On the contrary, those who wanted to ridicule him had nothing to say.
What Qian Ertong said reached Emperor Qi's ears word for word in less than an hour.
Emperor Qi's face became increasingly ugly.
He previously promoted Qian Ertong, thinking that this person was very popular with him. Although he came from Prince Huai's Mansion, he was not devoted to Prince Huai, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The news that Emperor Qi had inquired about Qian Ertong soon reached the ears of the fourth prince Xie Yang.
The staff around him gave him advice.
"Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now is the time when Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Qian Ertong, why don't we get him away from His Majesty!"
So, the next day, the memorial to impeach Qian Ertong was placed in Emperor Qi's hands.
The person who was impeached was Zhao Xin, whose wife had been embarrassed by Qin Rushuang before and was almost disfigured.
Zhao Xin had long been dissatisfied with Qian Ertong.
He also worked in the Hanlin Academy. He was from a famous family and had good knowledge, but he was not favored by Emperor Qi. On the contrary, Qian Ertong, who was from a lowly background, won the favor of Emperor Qi.
In addition, he already knew that the fourth prince and Prince Huai were not getting along, and that Princess Huai had made things difficult for his wife...
The combination of old and new hatreds allowed Zhao Xin to get the approval of the fourth prince, and when he was asked to impeach the first two, he wrote a large memorial without hesitation.
In the memorial, he spoke sincerely, and his sentences were impassioned, and he wrote heartily.
Let's start with Qian Ertong's life experience. It is against the rules for a slave to become an official in the court. Later, it is said that he was a lowly businessman who did not even study for a few days and actually entered the Hanlin Academy, which is regarded as a holy place by students all over the world.
Later, he said that after he entered the Hanlin Academy, because of his poor talent and learning, he did not do his job well, so he was transferred to Emperor Qi to serve on pen and ink, and he was probably not qualified for the job.
He also listed some of the bad things about Qian Ertong in the Hanlin Academy like he was nitpicking. In short, he was said to be useless.
Emperor Qi had been dissatisfied with Qian Ertong recently, and Zhao Xin's memorial just touched his heart. He also wanted to see Qian Ertong's attitude, so he issued an imperial edict.
An imperial edict to transfer Qian Ertong back to the Hanlin Academy.
The imperial edict strictly stated that Qian Ertong was short of pen and ink in serving Emperor Qi, so he was transferred back to the Imperial Academy and would leave after handing over the duties at hand in seven days.
While the imperial edict was being read out, Emperor Qi had been secretly observing Qian Ertong's attitude. He wanted to see from Qian Ertong's face what he was thinking in his heart.
But Qian Ertong's face was calm.
There was no anger, no sadness, and no excuses.
He accepted the imperial edict in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and after thanking Emperor Qi, he said: "Thank you very much for your teachings these days, and please your majesty to select a successor as soon as possible so that I can take over with him."
There was no feeling of reluctance at all.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, Xie Yang was the happiest, and he immediately sent someone to give the order.
"Keep an eye on Qian Ertong and the people in Prince Huai's Mansion. I don't believe that they managed to push Qian Ertong to my father's side, and how easily everything before was wasted. Keep an eye on them! If there is any
Report the news to the king immediately."
…
Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang also received the news that Emperor Qi had recalled Qian Ertong to the Hanlin Academy.
Xie Xun felt relieved and said to Qin Rushuang: "Father is really getting more and more confused now. It's just like rain when someone hears the wind. It's just a few provocations from others and he fell into the trap."
Qin Rushuang said lightly, "It's understandable. My father is old and his health is..."
Qin Rushuang didn't explain the rest, but Xie Xun also knew what she meant.
That's how people are.
As I get older, my suspicion becomes more severe, and I always feel that everyone around me is trying to harm me.
"Did everything go according to the previous plan?"
Qin Rushuang nodded and said, "Go and inform Qingzhi and ask her to come to Prince Huai's Mansion now. I will find a chance to go to the palace to see my father tomorrow."
So, half an hour later, the fourth prince's people who were watching in the dark saw Qingzhi running out of his mansion in a hurry.
He didn't even tidy up his appearance, so he hurried to Prince Huai's Mansion. His eyes were red along the way, as if he had been crying, and he kept wiping his eyes with a handkerchief.
The news reached Xie Yang's ears, and Xie Yang slapped the table: "Okay! This Qingzhi must have gone to Prince Huai's Mansion to ask Princess Huai for help! Then let's see if Princess Huai will go to the father's house for these two former subordinates.
The emperor is circling!"
The second day.
Qin Rushuang went to the palace to see Emperor Qi.
After receiving the news, the fourth prince almost looked up to the sky and laughed.
Qin Rushuang, Qin Rushuang, I didn’t expect that she is such a person who values love and justice.
He actually had to confront his father and question his decision for the sake of one of his subordinates!
Her father had just issued the decree, so for her to be in such a hurry, apart from making her father disgusted and making rumors about the unclear relationship between Qian Ertong and Prince Huai's Mansion, what other benefits would there be?
Really confused.
An aide on the side said, "After all, Princess Huai spent so much effort to push Qian Ertong into the court. Now that she sees that the only chess piece she has is about to be used, she naturally goes to His Majesty to beg for mercy.
"
After speaking, he looked at Xie Yang, "Then Prince, here we are..."
Xie Yang's face was full of a villain's triumphant smile.
"My father must have been furious after seeing Qin Rushuang today. I will go into the palace to make my father's anger burn brighter!"
