After Emperor Qi ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, Xie Yang's first reaction was to get rid of the spy who hid the poison in Qian Ertong's room.
But if he can think of this, others can naturally think of it too.
So when he was about to bid farewell to Emperor Qi and prepare to leave, Xie Xun called him.
"The fourth brother has not yet explained to his father why today's events are such a coincidence. Why did Daochang Liu happen to appear in the palace?"
It was not that Emperor Qi had never doubted Xie Yang, but he felt that his son should not be so courageous.
But he thought so, but couldn't resist Xie Xun's insistent questioning.
So Xie Yang had to explain clearly with a dry mouth, why Daochang Liu appeared in the palace so coincidentally, and why he and Daochang Liu were so clearly separated.
When he had finished talking and was about to deal with the aftermath, he suddenly discovered that Qin Rushuang had already disappeared when he and Xie Xun were arguing.
He chased Emperor Qi out of the palace in a hurry, trying to find his informant in the palace.
But no matter how he searched, he couldn't find that person.
He did not dare to ask other palace officials, fearing that others would doubt him, so he could only return to the palace worriedly.
He had just returned to the palace when the housekeeper came over in a hurry.
"My lord, you are back! Mr. Zuo Xiang is waiting for you in the study!"
Hearing these words, Xie Yang's mind was buzzing.
He had never been afraid of anyone in his life. His mother and concubine loved him very much. In addition to his smooth personality, Emperor Qi also loved him very much.
Only this grandpa made him frightened when he talked to him.
Another point is that he thought that the design was perfect this time and he did not inform Xiao Shan about the whole thing. When he heard that Xiao Shan was in his house, his first reaction was...
It's over, it's over, grandpa is coming to punish me!
Xie Yang's guess was correct. He had just walked into the study when something suddenly hit him head-on.
Fortunately, he had also practiced some martial arts. When he saw something flying towards him, his first reaction was to get out of the way.
As a result, a teapot flew past his ear and exploded with a bang beside him.
Xie Yang knew that grandpa was really angry.
So he immediately walked in and knelt down in front of Xiao Shan with a trembling voice.
"Grandpa...Grandpa, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, you will kill yourself!"
Xiao Shan has never been so angry.
He knew that his grandson was quite clever, but he was not as good as King Huai in important matters.
But he was unwilling to do so!
Why are other people's children so outstanding, but my own grandson is just a mess and can't stand up to the wall?
Although he was dissatisfied with Xie Yang in his heart, he still loved his grandson in the end. He had overwhelming power in the court. As long as Xie Yang followed his path, he was very sure that he could win the battle for the heir.
But he never expected that this confused grandson would do such a thing behind his back!
"And short-sighted!"
Xiao Shan scolded: "Qian Ertong is just a humble servant who entered the court only after Qin Rushuang's recommendation. At most, he can only speak a few words around His Majesty. What are you going to do with him??"
"Grandpa...grandpa, I know I was wrong. Could it be that grandpa still has other arrangements for Qian Ertong? Is it possible, kid..."
"I don't blame you for tampering with money, but I blame you for making such a big circle and even putting your own life at risk against His Majesty..."
Xiao Shan's words were abruptly cut off in his mouth, and he snorted coldly and continued, "I'm angry because you are useless!"
"Since you don't like him, you should do things neatly and neatly! You should arrange everything! Instead of letting people hold on to you for nothing like now!"
Xie Yang said quickly: "Grandpa, don't be angry! Although the Qian Ertong was not taken out from the father's side this time, no one will know that it was the child who did it, and people have been sent to find people in the palace.
That eyeliner..."
Xiaoshan became even more angry when he talked about this.
"Confused! I just got the news and immediately sent someone to the palace to find that person! But someone moved faster. When I went there, the person had already been secretly picked up!"
Xie Yang was really scared now.
"Then! What should we do if he gives the child away..."
Xie Yang was anxious and quickly grabbed the corner of Xiao Shan's clothes, "Grandpa! Grandpa! It must be that King Huai! King Huai held me back just now, and Princess Huai left first! You have to save the child!"
Seeing him begging for mercy, Xiao Shan felt even more disappointed.
When something goes wrong, he doesn't want to solve it, so he only comes to him for help!
Why did you give birth to such a grandson!
But even so, he is his only grandson, and he must be saved no matter how reluctant he is.
"Don't panic. Since the person has been rescued by Prince Huai's Mansion, and they have not brought this matter directly to His Majesty, it means there is still room for negotiation."
Xiao Shan waved his hand and looked several years older.
"Don't worry about this matter. I'll go negotiate with Prince Huai's Mansion."
At the same time, in Prince Huai's Mansion.
Qin Rushuang took advantage of Xie Xun to drag Xie Yang in the palace, and secretly sent people to find Xie Yang's informant who stayed in the palace to frame Qian Ertong.
Fortunately, Qian Ertong treated the palace people well before, so she found the little maid who had just spoken for Qian Ertong.
After asking her about the cleaning day in Qian Ertong's room, she tentatively set her target on a young eunuch.
It's just that when she went there, the little eunuch had disappeared. She just didn't know who took him away.
When Xie Xun returned to the palace, the old housekeeper immediately reported to him that the princess was waiting for him in the study.
He went to the study room, where Qin Rushuang was already waiting for him.
"How's it going? Has anyone been found?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head regretfully.
"I determined that the person's identity should be a young eunuch who was on duty in the palace and also lived in that courtyard. His name was Xiao Dengzi. However, when I went there, he had already been taken away."
Thank you for frowning slightly.
"Could it be that the Fourth Brother sent someone to take him away in advance?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head.
"Not necessarily. Looking at the way the fourth prince looks confident of winning today, he must think that he can accomplish this matter in one fell swoop. With his arrogant personality, it is impossible for him to think of this in advance. Besides, it is very important to have an informant in the palace.
Difficulties, he can't bear to part with."
"Then who took the person away? Could it be Left Prime Minister Xiao Shan?"
Qin Rushuang still shook her head, "It's hard to talk about this matter. Let's be stable first."
"If the person was taken away by the Fourth Prince or Xiao Shan, then this matter must have been reduced from a big deal to a trivial matter."
"But if he was taken away by others, then we might as well wait. After all, no matter how stupid the fourth prince is, he should have reacted just now. I went to find his informant in advance."
Xie Xun thought for a moment and said: "You mean...if the fourth child didn't take the person away, we should make the fourth child mistakenly think that the person is here with us?"
Qin Rushuang nodded, with a smile on her lips.
"Your Majesty, let's play the White Wolf with empty gloves."
