Chapter 543 Forgiveness (one more)
Prince Xiang was still busy in the official department, seeing Qin Wubing and the others coming in a hurry, he knew that something was serious, so he quickly ordered someone to vacate a room and put someone outside to guard it.

Qin Wubing handed the letter to Prince Xiang, after reading it, Prince Xiang didn't see any change in expression, he returned the letter to Qin Wubing, and said:
"Yesterday, the emperor was delighted to hear your inference and arrangement. I'm afraid he will be angry if he reads this letter again today."

Qin Wubing did not expect Prince Xiang's attitude to be so relaxed, he glanced at the eldest princess, the eldest princess shrugged and said, "I don't know why brother Jiu is not in a hurry."

Prince Xiang smiled and said:
"It's not that I'm not in a hurry, it's that this matter was discovered early, and it won't have any impact on the government and the public... It's normal for the emperor to be angry. The queen has always done a good job, and the emperor doesn't allow his relatives to interfere in politics. Duke Qin's family is also peaceful. , Now this kind of thing happened suddenly... But when the emperor calms down, he will understand that this may not be a bad thing."

The old monk asked Qin Wubing: "Do you understand?"

Qin Wubing shook his head, and then asked: "Since it's not a big deal, then there's no need to investigate further?"

Prince Xiang snorted and said: "You think beautifully! If the Queen Mother doesn't speak about this kind of thing, the Queen will just bite to death without knowing it. In the end, it's not the same. It's the investigation? Do you think the Emperor will let this matter go unnoticed?"

"If that's the case, then Brother Lao Jiu will enter the palace and hand over the letter to the emperor. Let the emperor ask the queen first. If the queen is virtuous and righteous, and tells the reason why Madam Xu left the palace, wouldn't everyone be happy? At least the emperor said Some secrets are not known to outsiders, and you can solve your own family affairs behind closed doors."

Qin Wubing said as he handed the letter back to Prince Xiang.

Prince Xiang did not refuse, he took the letter and thought for a while and said:
"You also said yesterday that the people left behind by Concubine Yu'er are just guarding the exit, without any malicious intentions, and they don't want to break Guan Xue's previous promise, so it's inconvenient for you to continue to search for them, and the emperor also obeyed you, and now it's the other way around To check the queen..."

"Ninth brother, don't get me wrong! The reason why I didn't check the people left behind by my concubine is because I don't want to go against my concubine's wishes, and because it's useless to check. This letter is all they know. If they find them, they won't know what Madam Xu did when she left the palace, Madam Xu died on the spot, and those who responded ran away, how would they know the reason? Who to ask?"

Prince Xiang nodded and said: "That's right! Well then, I will go through this for you! I hope the queen can understand the general situation!"

……

The old monk wanted to follow Prince Xiang into the palace, but was stopped by Qin Wubing.

On the way home, Qin Wubing told the old monk the story that curiosity killed the cat. The old monk fell asleep listening to it, but the eldest princess listened carefully.

Back home, Princess Dachang found an opportunity and secretly said to Qin Wubing: "Let's go to Le County to see grandma!"

"What? Grandma's condition worsened?" Qin Wubing was shocked.

"No! I think you're right. It's not good to know too much about some things. It's impossible for the emperor to abolish the queen easily. It's okay if the queen can explain it clearly. If she refuses, or if she really doesn't know, it's okay Didn't I ask you to investigate? How do you investigate this matter? Duke Qin's Mansion cannot cooperate with you, and you will be offended if you don't find out the matter by then!"

Qin Wubing had the urge to hug the eldest princess into his arms, he smiled and resisted the urge, but still said with emotion:

"My Yu'er finally knows how to tie me to a rope!"

The Eldest Princess rolled her eyes at Qin Wubing and said: "Although this matter has not been clarified, but after thinking about it, I know that it has something to do with the prince's succession. How can we not offend others if we find out about this kind of matter? Who knows who the emperor will let you know?" succession?"

Qin Wubing joked: "The emperor is not allowed to discuss such an important matter with you?"

"The emperor has only been on the throne for a few years? Now start planning for the succession? The queen is too confused! Besides, she gave birth to two concubines. How can the concubines pass her? This is the same as the emperor's brother." The time is different, the emperor did not set up a queen, and the princes do not occupy a title, so naturally Li Xian..."

The eldest princess didn't seem to hear what Qin Wubing said, she babbled for a while, and finally remembered the business: "Tell me, if the queen doesn't say anything, the emperor really asks you to investigate, what should I do?"

Qin Wubing listened with a smile all the time, and now he said seriously:

"Public and private, the emperor has nothing to do. If you entrust me with the errand, I will try my best to investigate! But you are right, you are not afraid of offending anyone, and the loss outweighs the gain if you offend the prince, but then again, Li Chu It's still early, and the princes are all young, so to say that offending Duke Qin is really offending, I thought about it, if a high-ranking official makes a mistake, the emperor wants me to investigate, there is no one I dare not investigate right now, And these royal relatives, distinguished families... Marquis Wu Ding does not count, if I really say who made a mistake, do I dare to investigate? Dare!"

Qin Wubing straightened his waist and continued:
"This time, the emperor's father-in-law and his own mother were investigated. After the investigation, have I completely become the emperor's lonely minister? In this way, no matter who commits crimes in the future, as long as they report my name, they will be guaranteed to let me go." He diapered his pants! I am the iron-faced son-in-law, and I have a banner in the criminal lawsuit. If I don’t say anything else, I will ask who dares to pat his chest and say, "I am not afraid of whoever comes!" Come the iron-faced son-in-law, I wonder if he is afraid! This is a reputation that will last forever, and our children will also have glory in the future."

The eldest princess smiled and asked: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill the donkey, after you find out, find an excuse to deal with you?"

"I don't know if it will happen in the future, but not now! The emperor wants to be a wise king, and there are not many people around him who can do it. How can he suppress those old moths? Brother Nine before, and now I have me, I think in the near future There will be others in the future, such as Xie Yu, Song Fu, and Gu Qinghe, and only in this way can the unhealthy trends in the court be corrected, the emperor understands this truth in his heart!"

"Then, what if the queen tells the truth? You have no chance to be famous forever." The Eldest Princess laughed.

Qin Wubing instead sighed and said:

"I said it nicely, but I hope that the queen will understand the general situation and take into account the overall situation. Don't think that no one can do anything about it. How easy is it to be a lonely minister? They are all relatives of the family, and they have to meet each other during the holidays. , why bother, isn't it? Isn't it fun?"

……

Obviously, the Queen's family didn't think so.

The next day, the queen fell ill and the news that the imperial concubine would manage the harem on her behalf arrived at Qin's house together with the eunuch who had entered the palace without illness.

On the way into the palace, Qin Wubing almost scratched his scalp. Anyone can say bold words, and everyone is willing to think of a happy ending, but who will go through the annoying process?
