The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 138 Two in One
"Oh, tell me, Your Highness, what's the difference?"

Xie Tinglan's smile was condensed, and he pressed on step by step, "I had cooperated with the deposed prince in my previous life, but it was after he fell down that he came to me as an internal response. The two of us have always exchanged letters and never had direct contact. But you, Your Highness, have been with Xie Luoyao all the time, compared to being close, I am afraid that His Highness is more close to Xie Luoyao."

Fu Min originally wanted to question Xie Tinglan, but unexpectedly he became the one being questioned.

But he himself was wronged, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

Xie Tinglan narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the room, "Since your highness doesn't believe me, let's go. Just pretend that the Qingzhou incident never happened."

"Xing'er!" Fu Min panicked, caught up and grabbed Xie Tinglan's wrist, but she slammed it away.

Fu Min quickly explained: "Xing'er, I didn't want to test you, nor did I want to tell you about it, it's just that the situation is urgent and I haven't found the right time!"

Xie Tinglan gave him a look, and Fu Min said: "I originally wanted to get rid of the Qiu family as before. However, since I have the opportunity, it is safest to get rid of the prince, so I arranged these things. At that time, you I have already returned to Beijing, I was afraid that it would not be safe to deliver the news to the capital, so I did not tell you in time."

In order to appease Xie Tinglan, Fu Min could only open his eyes and talk nonsense, "Xing'er, I really don't mean not to believe you. And get rid of the prince, there will be no barrier between you and me, right?"

"Then how does His Highness plan to deal with Xie Luoyao?" Xie Tinglan said slowly, "No way, Your Highness still wants me to compromise, let's see her show off in front of me."

Fu Min breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as the crown prince is removed, I have the handle of King Qi in my hand. After I become king, there will be no obstacles in the way. At that time, Xing'er can deal with Xie Luoyao as he wants."

Xie Tinglan looked away, a trace of understanding flashed across his eyes, and then he said: "Can Your Highness ensure that the plan is foolproof? If something goes wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"Naturally, the prince will never get up again." Fu Min showed a sinister smile.

Ever since Fu Pingye and Qiu Sinian conspired to plot the land enclosure case, there was chaos in the court, especially the ministers of the princeling party, who were trying their best to find a way to exonerate the prince.

Listed out the reasons why the prince could not cooperate with Qiu Sinian, but there was no clear evidence, on the contrary, the evidence for the cooperation between the prince and Qiu Sinian was more obvious.

This section has been going on and on for several days. Today, a group of people knelt down in front of the Fengtian Gate to listen to the government.

The leading British prince held a fluorene board and repeated the prince's crimes loudly, then knelt down with all the officials behind him, and shouted: "The prince's virtue is not worthy, please the emperor abolish the prince and choose a new prince!"

"The emperor, please abolish the crown prince—"

The British public responded, except for the princelings and the neutral party, only a few speakers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood still.

Ever since Fu Weichen overthrew his relatives who were in chaos, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has belonged to him, and Wei Qing, the leader, had been in touch with him a long time ago and did not participate in this matter. Naturally, neither did the other officials headed by Wei Qingyun. Say more.

Officials of the princelings stood up to fight for Fu Pingye, and the ministers of the two different parties quarreled, and the situation was stalemate.

After they had finished arguing, Fu Weichen said with a cold face: "We will discuss this matter later. Let's retreat."

After finishing speaking, he got up and was about to leave, but the Duke of England said loudly again: "Your Majesty! The prince's virtue is not worthy, and the fish and meat people, if you don't abandon it, the law of heaven will not tolerate it!"

"I said--we will discuss it later!" Fu Weichen glared at the British Duke. The old man was becoming more and more open-minded, thinking that he didn't know, so why did he feel at ease?

Fu Weichen took two steps, stopped, turned around and said, "The prince's matter has not yet been settled. There are still doubts in it, and I have sent people to continue to investigate further. Naturally, I will not let the real culprit go, but I can't wrong myself. Son! Retire!"

Fu Weichen left in a huff. After the civil and military officials left, they stood up tremblingly and walked towards the palace gate.

Wei Qingyun walked halfway, but was stopped by a person. He glanced at the person and nodded slightly, "Aunt Fang."

"Master Wei." Aunt Fang bowed and bowed, and said softly, "The imperial concubine would like to say a few words to Your Excellency."

Wei Qingyun thought for a while, then nodded.

Aunt Fang led him into a small path and turned into a remote pavilion, where the imperial concubine was sitting and waiting.

Seeing Wei Qingyun, she immediately stood up. Wei Qingyun was about to kneel, but she stopped him directly.

"Your Majesty Wei, there is no need to be too courteous. I have rashly invited Master Wei here today. Thanks to Master Wei's stall, I am still willing to see you."

Now that the crown prince is suffering, she, the imperial concubine, is favored, and the emperor has been unwilling to question the crown prince for a long time, so she has also received a lot of criticism, and the rumors in the court that she is a demon concubine have intensified.

At this moment, it seems that it is not good for anyone to have a relationship with the prince or the imperial concubine, but Wei Qingyun is willing to see her.

Wei Qingyun said: "Your Majesty, I have somewhat guessed what your majesty means. Don't worry, my majesty, the emperor has told me to do my best to keep His Highness's seat before the truth of this matter comes to light."

"I'm not talking about that." The imperial concubine hurriedly interrupted him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Wei's younger brother is the prefect of Qingzhou. I heard that he also returned to the capital with the six kings. Lord Wei, the crown prince must He was wronged, I can't trust others, Master Wei is the most upright and honest, I want you to help me see if there are any omissions in those evidences."

"Actually, the officials have seen those evidences early in the morning, but..."

The imperial concubine's face turned pale, and Wei Qingyun hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, it is still possible to keep His Highness the Crown Prince."

The imperial concubine swayed and leaned against the stone table behind her.

"Your Majesty!" Aunt Fang stepped forward to help her, but she raised her hand to stop her.

"That's all." The imperial concubine felt powerless for a while, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for willing to see me. Please, Mr. Wei, please help the crown prince. I thank you, Mr. Wei!"

Wei Qingyun hurriedly knelt down to return the salute, and when he raised his head again, the imperial concubine had already staggered away with Aunt Fang.

The imperial concubine returned to Yongle Palace in a daze, but just as she reached the gate of the palace, she heard a burst of noise.

She stopped and listened for a while, and a faint cry for help came to Gu Nanyu's ears, she felt familiar, so she quickly asked Aunt Fang to stop her.

A moment later, Aunt Fang walked over with Fu Zhaoyao, whose face was full of tears and disheveled.

The two guards escorted the two nuns behind them, and when the two nuns saw the imperial concubine, they began to cry out, "Your Majesty, it was the fifth princess who ignored His Majesty's orders and ran around at will, and the old slaves came here to take the princess back. !"

Seeing Fu Zhaoyao, the Imperial Concubine's eyes were a bit complicated, she and Fu Pingye were no different from Concubine Xian and the three of them.

Fu Zhaoyao was much more haggard than before, she stepped forward, knelt down in front of the imperial concubine, and cried: "Your Majesty, please save my concubine mother, concubine mother, she is not well."

The imperial concubine was startled, "What did you say?"

Not caring to ask any more questions, she quickly called Aunt Fang, "Whatever you want, quickly go get the signboard of this Palace, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask someone to go to Zhongcui Palace!"

After finishing the order, the imperial concubine looked at the two nuns, and seeing that they were sweating profusely from fright, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Okay you guys, Concubine Xian is just grounding her feet, so you dare to serve like this. If it continues, hit thirty big boards first, if Concubine Xian is fine, let it go, if there is something wrong, beat her to death directly."

"Ma'am, please forgive me—"

The imperial concubine ignored the cries of the two, and stepped forward to help Fu Zhaoyao up personally.

He stroked the scattered temples for her, and said in a gentle voice, "Go into this palace and rest for a while."

"Thank you, ma'am, I'm just showing off, I'm still worried about the safety of my mother and concubine..." Fu Zhaoyao wiped away his tears, choked up and said.

The imperial concubine thought about it, the accident happened to Concubine Xian for so long, and she and Fu Pingye were the ones who implicated her, so she should go and see it out of reason.

The imperial concubine had someone prepare a sedan chair, and went to Zhongcui Palace with Fu Zhaoyao.

The imperial physician arrived earlier than them. Aunt Fang was guarding the gate of the palace. When she saw the imperial concubine and Fu Zhaoyao approaching, she nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty and the fifth princess, don't worry. The imperial physician just said that the body heat of the empress virtuous concubine can go away, It didn't hurt the root, and it will be fine after a while of rest and recuperation."

Fu Zhaoyao wiped away his tears and entered the bedroom.

In the sleeping hall, Fu Rui knelt on the edge of the footrest in front of Concubine Xian's bed. His eyes were still red, and there were still obvious tear stains on his face, but his cheeks were tense, as if trying to hide his sadness.

Seeing Fu Zhaoyao coming back, he called out to Miss Huang in a hoarse voice, and seeing the imperial concubine from the corner of his eye, he immediately stood up and saluted the imperial concubine.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress."

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down." The imperial concubine raised her hand and looked away at Concubine Xian.

But in about ten days, Concubine Xian's already thin cheeks were sunken, and her eyes were very black and blue, which was quite different from her previous appearance.

The imperial concubine was speechless for a moment, and then furious, "How did the people in Zhongcui Palace take care of the concubine Xian! The land enclosure case has not yet been settled, and they dare to serve the master like this!"

Afraid of disturbing Concubine Xian, she lowered her voice very low. Concubine Huang gave Aunt Fang a look, signaling her to go out and deal with this matter.

Turning his head, the imperial physician said: "Madam, Concubine Xian is awake."

The imperial doctor pulled out the gold needle, but Concubine Xian was still in a trance, Fu Zhaoyao and Fu Rui rushed to the bedside and called Concubine Mother several times, Concubine Xian came back to her senses.

She glanced at the two children, then raised her eyes to look up, only then did she realize that the imperial concubine was here.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Xian struggled to stand up and salute, but Gu Nanyu pushed her back.

"Resignation, my servant." The imperial physician tactfully put away his things and left the bedroom.

The imperial concubine said: "You are too weak, so don't be too polite. This palace is also negligent. The queen is ill, and this palace is in charge of the sixth palace, but I didn't realize that you can..."

"How can this be the empress' dereliction of duty? The concubine feels the pain of the empress, so how can I blame the empress." Concubine Xian burst into tears when she said that she was sad.

The imperial concubine looked at her bloodshot eyes, and smelled the strong fragrance of sandalwood in the bedroom. She knew that the concubine Xian must have been unable to sleep for more than ten days.

She thought for a while and said softly, "Don't worry about it. Your brother and the others are in prison now, and there is nothing wrong..."

Concubine Xian felt bitter, she never expected that her elder brother would be involved in the land enclosure case after taking a trip back to Beijing.

Not only that, but some people even said that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and sold the city of Southern Qin.

Concubine Xian has heart palpitations every day and can't sleep at night, because she is afraid that one day she will get news that her brother will be beheaded by the emperor.

Concubine Xian never had a chance to complain to her elder brother. She had already been grounded by the emperor when she learned about it. She couldn't even get out of Zhongcui Palace.

The news was blocked, and she didn't know what happened to Qiu Sinian.

Now that the imperial concubine said she was safe, the concubine Xian couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

She buried her face in the quilt and suppressed her crying. After a while, she insisted on sitting up and said to the imperial concubine: "Please help me, my concubine, and my elder brother's family. My brother will not do collusion with the enemy." For treason, it is even more impossible to exploit the common people. His Highness the Crown Prince and his elder brother must be innocent. The concubines are incompetent, so they can only pray for his elder brother’s family and His Highness the Crown Prince by chanting scriptures every day, but they can’t do anything real to help. Your Majesty..."

The imperial concubine looked at her with a wry smile, and said powerlessly, "If I had a way, my sister would have already come out. There is not enough evidence now, although it is not enough to convict, but delaying it is not an option..."

Fu Zhaoyao was really anxious, so he couldn't help interjecting: "Then, can you tell me, what else can I do to help uncle investigate this case!"

"If you want to investigate again, you can only trouble Wei Pingsheng, the prefect of Qingzhou. It's just that I met his elder brother Wei Qingyun just now. He said that he has carefully checked the evidence in the files, and he really can't find any evidence that can exonerate the two of them. .He has exhausted his benevolence and righteousness, and I really can't say anything more."

The imperial concubine stayed with the concubine Xian until dusk, until Eunuch Zhao sneaked over and passed on Fu Weichen's words, indicating that the situation was special and she could not stay any longer.

The imperial concubine just left, but fortunately, a large number of servants in Zhongcui Palace were disposed of.

But the person who instigated this matter behind the scenes, now is not the time to investigate such a matter.

After the imperial concubine left, Fu Zhaoyao stood up in front of the concubine Xian's bed, and said firmly: "Concubine mother, I'll go find Hui'er. Hui'er is also the granddaughter of the Wei family, and she has the same sisterhood as me. I beg her to let her Find Lord Wei Pingsheng, and then help uncle to see if there are any clues that can help uncle get rid of the crime!"

Concubine Xian looked at her daughter, she didn't really have any hope in her heart, but she couldn't bear to hit Fu Zhaoyao again, she opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "That, that's good."

Fu Zhaoyao just did what she said, actually she had such an idea early on, but she had to, she still didn't want to drag Xie Shuhui into the water, after all, she is also a half-convicted person now.

But she is really desperate, she can't just watch her uncle's family die.

As long as Xie Shuhui asks Wei Pingsheng again, as long as the prefect of Qingzhou checks again——

Fu Zhaoyao bribed a palace official, wrote the news that he wanted to meet Xie Shuhui on a note and uploaded it.

But three days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no news.
