Chapter 698 The Dust Settles
When the palace was full of chaos, Xuanyuan Che had already returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

He followed Nanny Li for several days. When Nanny Li and San Niu were hiding in the cellar that day, it was the ventriloquist guard he brought with him who imitated Qin Jian's tone of voice, which made Nanny Li finally make up her mind. Want to go to the emperor to expose the queen's crimes.

On the way back, Xuanyuan Che had already been lured by San Niu, and heard that the real culprit who killed his mother and concubine was the queen.When he heard that the mother and concubine had two dead bodies, he really wanted to go directly to the palace to kill the empress, that poisonous woman with his own hands.

But in the end he was persuaded by Wang Jia.

After returning home, Xuanyuan Che didn't want to see anyone, and didn't want to say anything.He went straight to the study and fell asleep after getting drunk.

Two days later, when I woke up, I saw Wei Qingluan who was half-sleeping beside the bed.

For a moment Xuanyuan Che felt guilty in his heart.I was sad because of the matter of my mother and concubine, but this girl was silently guarding me.

And when he moved a little, Wei Qingluan woke up.

Stretching out her hand to touch his forehead, she found that his original scalding temperature had gone down. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered Liu'er to bring over the porridge that had been warming on the stove.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Xuanyuan Che suddenly felt warm all over his body, and his originally resentful mood felt unprecedentedly calm at this moment.

"You go and wash first." Wei Qingluan looked at him and said, "We will have lunch together later, and then let Wang Jia report to you what happened in the past few days."

With a hum, Xuanyuan Che stood up.Although the weather was not yet in midsummer, he had a high fever all day and night, and after sleeping for two days, it was time for him to wash himself.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped again, looked at Wei Qingluan and said, "Let Wang Jia come over and report for a while, and we'll have lunch later."

Tomorrow he still wanted to know the emperor's punishment for the empress earlier, Wei Qingluan nodded.

When Xuanyuan Che came out of the clean room refreshed, Wang Jia was already waiting at the door.

Wang Jia told Xuanyuan Che that the Queen had originally thought of dying when she saw Li Mama bumped into death in front of him that day.But unexpectedly, the emperor directly told the queen that death would make her easier.From that time on, not only will the empress not receive any obvious punishment, she will also not move out of Qifeng Palace.But from then on, the Queen is not allowed to intervene in everything in the palace.And without the permission of the emperor, the queen is not even allowed to go out of the palace gate.All the people serving the queen were replaced by the emperor's people.The emperor wanted the queen to fall directly from her high position and power, to the point where she couldn't even order the people around her.

As soon as Yin Zhengde's letter of resignation and return to his hometown was submitted, the emperor approved it.Yin Quan asked to go to Beijing to become an official, and the emperor agreed.They were also given three days to leave Beijing, and if the deadline expired, they would be considered violating the will.

Due to time constraints, Yin Zhengde's side is fine.It is said that even Yin Quan's most favored Aunt Yao will be left in this capital mansion and will not be taken away.

There is another piece of news that the emperor has agreed to the marriage proposal of the prince of Xirong, Ge Han.Ge Han had already postponed his plan to return to Xirong, and only waited for the envoy from Xirong to bring Xuanyuanfen's betrothal gift from Xirong, and then the two returned to Xirong to hold their wedding together.

The prince didn't show anything on the surface, but according to the news from the informant in the East Palace, the prince smashed the porcelain in the main hall after going to the Yin mansion to see Yin Zhengde and others off.In the evening, he favored a court lady, but early the next morning, he disliked the maid for being ugly, and was directly beaten to death and thrown out.

After the report was over, Wang Jia did not leave immediately as usual.He looked at Xuanyuan Che, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The emperor said something, saying that sometimes people are better off dead than alive. Although he wished to execute the queen, he wanted her to pay for the sins he committed. Atonement."

Seeing that Xuanyuanche looked normal on the surface after listening to Wang Jia's words, but his hands were tightly clenched into fists, Wei Qingluan naturally knew that he was unwilling.He also signaled Wang Jia to leave, and then sat beside Xuanyuan Che.

Knowing who the enemy is, but not being able to take revenge, especially since this hatred was once the hope of survival, anyone would be unwilling to do so!

Wei Qingluan hugged Xuanyuan Che distressedly.

Xuanyuan Che froze, and then directly hugged Wei Qingluan to his side.He buried his head on Wei Qingluan's shoulder, took a few deep breaths, and then said sullenly: "I didn't expect him to hide this matter."

Wei Qingluan knew that Xuanyuan Che was referring to the emperor, and knew that Xuanyuan Che was probably full of disappointment with the emperor at this moment.

Originally, Wei Qingluan also complained about the emperor's handling, but somehow she thought of Concubine Xin.Thinking of the unconcealable madness in Concubine Xin's eyes when she saw her palm, she couldn't help but jump.

Thinking about it again, if the empress is abolished, the fourth prince will definitely overwhelm the prince.At that time, if Concubine Xin regained her freedom, she would be even more unscrupulous in doing things.

Thinking about it this way, I felt that the emperor was right to maintain a balance between the two parties.

Thinking about it, she sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "The emperor also has a reason for doing this!"

When Wei Qingluan's words reached the emperor's ears, the emperor was stunned for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "Old Wu, I really didn't misunderstand the person. Wei girl, you know my embarrassment! With her in the fifth By my side, I can rest assured."

In the future, even if he goes underground to meet Concubine De, he can also reassure her.

The emperor strictly ordered all those involved not to mention the matter of the queen.Although the emperor didn't say anything on the surface, he took advantage of Wei Qingluan's reputation for taking care of Princess Beihu and the princess, and rewarded the fifth prince with many items, which can be regarded as tactful compensation.

And Xuanyuanche naturally disdained the emperor's compensation, the first thing he did after waking up was to watch the day, and took Wei Qingluan to the Xiangyun Temple on the outskirts of the city, where he made a seven-day water and land dojo for Concubine De.

Everything seems to have settled and passed.But there is one person who can't make it through.

After the prince bid farewell to Yin Zhengde and Yin Quan and left the capital, after two days of dullness, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the queen had become a stumbling block for him to become a great treasure.

No matter what happened to Concubine De, the Empress should not admit it.Didn't that old godly mother Li prove her innocence by dying? Why didn't the queen prove her innocence by dying?

If the empress died directly, the emperor might not believe that she did what happened back then.At that time, the emperor felt that someone had framed and framed the empress, so grandfather and uncle would not have to be forced to leave the capital.

Even taking a step back, the queen's death is better than being detained in the palace and ringing the alarm bell for the emperor at the moment when she is open-eyed.

Thinking of Yin Zhengde repeatedly telling him to be calm and composed before he left, the prince became even more irritable.The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, how can he calm down.
