Qin Rushuang's questioning of Concubine Li has come to an end.
When he saw her flustered expression, he stopped questioning her in time.
Concubine Li finally had a moment to breathe, allowing her to put away the panic look on her face.
"Since the prince is not in good health, I will take Prince Wen away first and don't disturb the prince's rest."
After saying that, he bowed hastily to Qin Rushuang and left with the obedient King Wen.
As I walked, my steps staggered, as if I had been greatly frightened.
Qin Rushuang gently shook her head at the backs of mother and son.
After Concubine Li left, it was already late at night, and the day finally passed. No one came to see Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun again.
After closing the door of the palace, layers of guards protected the palace.
The Shadow Guards even stood guard around Xie Xun, and from behind the curtain, Qian Ertong came out.
When Qin Rushuang took Xie Xun back to the palace, she had already sent people to notify Qian Ertong.
If there is anyone in the court who she can trust the most and who can tell the truth, it is Qian Ertong.
In fact, there are many people loyal to Xie Xun in this court.
For example, Right Prime Minister Yang Jingxian, such as Mr. Lin Ge, etc.
Many old ministers were loyal to Xie Xun.
However, just because they were veterans of the two dynasties and loyal to Xie Xun, Qin Rushuang was unwilling to let them get involved in this dirty dispute.
Because there are some private things that should not be discussed with them.
Qin Rushuang hopes that these courtiers are the pillars of the country and can become pure ministers instead of counselors.
She hoped that these veterans could spend all their energy on running the country instead of spending their energy with them and these villains behind them.
Just let her deal with these dirty things and let her and the trustworthy people around her deal with them.
What Xie Xun needs around him are loyal pillars of the country, not political aides.
After Qian Ertong came out from behind the curtain, he asked Qin Rushuang: "Princess, there may be some problems with Concubine Li and Prince Wen. Why did the princess let her go like this?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head and said: "Look at Concubine Li's temperament that can't hide her worries, and look at King Wen's cowardly character that cannot be used in any way. They are not the masterminds behind it. Even if they are involved, they are just
It’s just someone else’s chess piece.”
Qin Rushuang called two shadow guards and ordered: "Follow Concubine Li and King Wen and monitor them closely. Report to me everyone they have seen and what they have said in the past few days! By the way,
Also, I remember that the prince once placed his spies among the concubines in the harem, and asked them if there was anything unusual about Concubine Li recently and who she had been in contact with."
The two shadow guards saluted and took the order and left.
After the shadow guards left, Qin Rushuang showed a look of exhaustion on her face.
When Qian Ertong saw him, he naturally offered some words of comfort.
Qin Rushuang smiled bitterly and said to Qian Ertong, "I didn't expect you to come to comfort me. Qingzhi is about to give birth, right? I want to trouble you to come to the palace to accompany me every day. Have you strengthened the guards in your house?"
This is a matter of course, we must not let Qingzhi get involved."
Qian Ertong said quickly: "Qingzhi is fine. The doctor said she is in good health. I originally wanted to hide the news about the prince's injury today, but I didn't hide it from her. She immediately rushed me into the palace.
, let me stay by the princess’s side and help her, she will take good care of her in the house.
After Qian Ertong persuaded Qin Rushuang, he went to find a place to rest outside the palace.
Only the shadow guards were left in the dark, guarding Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun.
At this time, Xie Xun was lying motionless on the dragon couch.
His face looked very haggard, his breathing was very light, and he looked like he was seriously injured and would never recover.
Qin Rushuang looked at his face in trance, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his deep eyebrows, and the straight bridge of his nose.
"It's better for you to just fall asleep and leave all the mess to me. When you wake up, you have to compensate me well..."
Qin Rushuang took back her hand.
At this time, there was no one in the palace.
She began to slowly speculate about the connection between the events that happened one after another in the past few days.
First of all, the gangster mission's purpose in going to Beijing was impure. It was instigated by Ke Ga behind the scenes. The purpose was to stuff the princess of the gangster mission into Xie Xun's harem. Once a hole was opened, it would be convenient for other countries later.
, seeking benefits from Da Qi in the name of marriage.
Secondly, the Jiang family of the Minister of Industry was also involved in this matter. The starting point of the Jiang family was that they were frustrated with buying an official position and resented Xie Xun, and the other was that they wanted to marry their youngest daughter into the harem, so as to
Protect the honor of the family.
Now that Jiang Shilang and his family have been sentenced to exile, and the rogue prince is detained in the palace, there is no possibility of spreading the news to the outside world.
Well, regardless of whether they were involved in Xie Xun's injury at the Royal Courtyard, at least they were not the masterminds.
So who could be the mastermind?
Thinking of Concubine Li who looked strange just now, and the King Wen she brought with her, could this be another conspiracy in the harem?
Qin Rushuang thought for a while and felt her forehead pounding.
But he couldn't sleep, so he asked the chief eunuch to get a pen and paper and carefully recall the courtiers who had visited Xie Xun during the day.
He wrote down a list of those who had impure thoughts and were deliberately testing them, and sent loyal shadow guards to investigate to see if there was anything strange about these people's actions.
Then a group of shadow guards were sent, and their men were ordered to guard the homes of several important officials in the court to protect their safety, in case someone took advantage of this troubled period and disturbed the foundation of Da Qi.
Now that Xie Xun, the pillar of Da Qi, has fallen, these loyal courtiers are the cornerstone of Da Qi.
If the pillars fall down and the foundation stone collapses again, then Daqi may be on the verge of ruin.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already late at night.
Qin Rushuang could only hope that the shadow guards who would be guarding Concubine Li tomorrow could bring her some useful news.
The eunuch who was guarding outside the palace came in and urged her a third time: "Princess, it's time to rest. It will be dawn in a while."
After being reminded by the chief eunuch, Qin Rushuang realized that it was already midnight.
Thinking of this, she thought again that Xie Xun had fallen, so how should she arrange things to go to court?
Although Xie Xun said that the entire Xie family's empire would be in her hands, she couldn't risk the world and host the court meeting as a woman in Xie Xun's place, right?
In this way, I'm afraid that before Xie Xun wakes up, he will be drowned in the saliva of those courtiers.
This is another problem...
Until then, problems came to Qin Rushuang one after another. Qin Rushuang looked at Xie Xun in a coma and realized how hard Xie Xun had lived every day since he took over the heavy responsibility of Da Qi.
But he still had to take time to accompany her and Linbao and take care of their feelings. Xie Xun's life was indeed not easy...
