"Is this person reliable?" Shi Qing sat up in shock and asked.
"Mother, didn't you say that? You can't trust people who don't belong to you, and you can't trust people who betray your master, but you can use her. That person is Concubine Rong's personal maid Yi'er."
Cai'er said calmly, but these words made Shi Qing nod with satisfaction.
However, I still sighed in my heart. Cai'er followed him and seemed to be led astray by him. The person who was so simple before is now quite scheming.
Shiqing waved her hand, signaling Cai'er to go to bed early and wait for the good news tomorrow.
--
A bloody hand stretched out from in front of the bed. Shi Qing suddenly opened her eyes, but her neck was tightly squeezed by the hand. A woman covered in blood and with disheveled hair was approaching Shi Qing.
The bloody mouth kept bleeding, and the face as pale as paper suddenly lifted up, "Give me back my life."
The thing frightened her so much that she hurriedly yelled. It was Meng'er, the one beside Feng Yuan, who turned into a ghost and came to find her.
"No, no, it's not me."
Shiqing waved her hands desperately and closed her eyes hard, but she felt her hand being held tightly.
"Empress, empress, it's me, it's Cai'er."
Shiqing woke up when she heard a familiar cry in her ears. She looked around the house and saw that there was something ghost there. It turned out to be a dream.
What a terrible dream.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Madam, Cai'er is here." The young lady is kind-hearted. Even if she hurts anyone, she will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Cai'er hugged Shi Qing tightly and patted her back gently. It took a long time before Shi Qing finally calmed down.
He hurriedly took off the handkerchief from his waist and wiped it with Shiqing. He was sweating so much.
"What time is it now?" Shiqing suddenly remembered something and immediately grabbed Cai'er's hand and asked.
"The cockcrow hasn't come yet, my dear, you haven't slept long."
"Oh." Shiqing replied in a low voice, and then asked Cai'er to get something to wash herself up with.
"My dear, it's not good. Prince Mingyi and Prince Qingran have both been imprisoned. They said they killed Prime Minister Yu, the official of the imperial court, in the Palace of Eternal Life. Long Yan is furious."
Jiazi hurriedly came to report early in the morning, causing Cai'er to tremble and Shiqing to be startled, but immediately calmed down.
"Is Prime Minister Yu dead?"
"She's dead. Her body is riddled with stab wounds. Now Concubine Rong, wearing obscene clothes, kneels down to the Palace of Eternal Life, begging the emperor to kill the two princes immediately and avenge her father."
Jiazi was furious when he said this, and Shiqing also felt a surge of anger in her chest and slapped her palm on the coffee table.
"Did the Emperor go to the morning court?"
"I just went." Jiazi replied. At this time, the three of them were nervous. How could this matter develop to this point? Didn't Mingyi do what he said?
Why are you in jail?
"You, hurry up and go outside the court to listen to what the ministers are saying. Remember not to let anyone find out. Also, try to call Xiao Lizi to ask questions. Call the emperor when he is taking a nap."
Shi Qing was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, and she suddenly became anxious. She didn't know how Ming Qingyue would deal with the two princes.
Even if he had the intention to let the two princes go, it would be in vain as the pressure from the ministers was probably too great.
Ministers, now I want to turn the mouths of the ministers.
"Cai'er, hurry up and go to Chaofeng Palace to ask the Queen Mother to come to the court. Hurry up, just say something happened to Prince Qingran. There is no need to explain. I just ask the Queen Mother to rush to the court as soon as possible!"
