Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 340 Qu Fulan made the right move

After returning from the palace, Qu Fulan fell ill.

Even if you exercise diligently and have good physical fitness, you will inevitably get sick after catching a cold.

It's just not that serious, just coughing all the time, and occasional runny nose, but they are all within the tolerable range.

Pei Ji'an couldn't stay at home, not to mention how could he stay at home every day as a courtier, but he still hasn't found out about Qu Fulan being framed.

There are always many things to be busy.

It's just doing things for the emperor, and it's over if you let him do what he wants. Pei Ji'an checked and checked Qu Fulan's being framed, but he couldn't find out why.

Besides, this kind of thing is not suitable for making a big fuss, and not many people know about it, so it is even more difficult to investigate.

But it was not without a breakthrough. Pei Ji'an heard that on the day of the cleansing banquet, after Qu Fulan's maidservant fell into the water, the empress asked to investigate the matter. Afterwards, although she asked about the court lady who bumped into her, she couldn't find anything. She only said that she was not careful. If you hit him, you can't torture a maid for the sake of a maid.

A court lady who accidentally spilled Qu Fulan's soup was also temporarily imprisoned.

Only the next day, the court lady died, and the queen didn't even have time to investigate.

The thread is broken.

Coincidentally, the palace servant who splashed Xiao Shiqing's soup that day also died.

Obviously, the people behind knew that these two people were the key breakthrough, so they silenced them immediately, and the death of two insignificant people in the palace would not cause much commotion at all.

The clues became confusing.

But it's not hard to guess that this is related to the party struggle, some people want the Pei family and the Xiao family to completely turn against each other.

The Pei family and the Xiao family were originally rivals, but they were not completely separated, and seeing that Pei Ji'an and Xiao Shiqing can still cooperate and work together can explain the problem.

If Xiao Shiqing did something to Pei Ji'an's wife, then as a man, could Pei Ji'an save Xiao Shiqing's life?The other party must die. In the end, no matter who dies or who lives, the emperor will lose.

The balance of the emperor's court was broken, and it was easy for others to take advantage of it.

Who is the person who wants to take advantage of it?Basically, anyone who wants to sit on the throne is possible.

This range is too big. As a prince, who doesn't want to be an emperor?Those who say they don't want to are duplicity, and no one has ever said that.

The emperor has many heirs, and there are more than ten princes alone, and as long as they are princes, even if they are just born, they may inherit the throne, let alone those who are adults.

Apart from the prince, other princes are not out of the question, the most likely one is King Jie, if he is not being imprisoned now, he would be the most suspect.

But does this matter really have nothing to do with King Jie?

If it's irrelevant, how dare these concubines and princes in the palace make trouble at the reception banquet that the emperor values?

After so many years of not making trouble, but at this time, what is the reason?
If it was related to King Jie, how would he arrange things outside when he was in prison?
Unless he responds.

If there is King Jie's support in the prison, then there must be one in the palace too, what can't be done if we cooperate with each other inside and out?

Thinking of this possibility, Pei Ji'an knew the seriousness of the matter.

Prince Pei didn't dare to delay for a moment, went to the palace to meet the emperor, dismissed all the servants, and only the two of them talked about things in the imperial study.

Since it is necessary to clarify the matter, it is impossible to conceal the fact that Qu Fulan was plotted against.

"...The matter happened like this. After a little inquiring, the emperor found out that after the welcome banquet, two palace servants did die, and they were all palace servants who had been splashed with soup."

The emperor had a dignified expression, and immediately asked someone to investigate, and the result was indeed as Pei Ji'an said.

"King Jie's minions are all over the court?" The emperor sat down on the dragon chair.

"It shouldn't be that rampant, but I have to guard against it. If there is no one, let it go. If there is, I'm afraid I have to plan carefully and calmly lure the snake out of the hole."

……

Qu Fulan had just finished drinking the medicine when he heard that Princess Zhuyu was coming.

A mouthful of medicine was almost sprayed out, she looked at the maid in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Bi Cao said, "Go back to Young Madam, Princess Zhuyu has come to visit Young Madam."

Qu Fulan: "... quickly wait for me to change clothes!"

A quarter of an hour later, Qu Fulan dressed and came to the flower hall, and saw a woman wearing a cloak and holding a stove sitting inside, looking out the door from time to time, and got up immediately when she saw her arrive.

"Princess, why did you come here?" Qu Fulan didn't even care about other things, and the first thing he asked when he entered the door was this.

Princess Zhuyu bit her lip, and said aggrievedly, "The palace is too boring, and you don't talk to me, and I heard that you were sick, so I came out."

"Does the emperor know about you coming out?" Qu Fulan asked.

Princess Zhuyu shook her head.

Qu Fulan was taken aback, "You actually sneaked out of the palace? How did you do it?"

Princess Zhuyu said, "There are not many people who know me. When I came out, I was dressed as a court lady. I said I was doing something for the princess, so I came out."

Qu Fulan just felt like he got a piece of hot potato, and he couldn't lose it, "Princess, you are too nonsense, what if something goes wrong?"

"There are guards following, it's all right."

After all, Princess Zhuyu grew up in a farmer’s family. She also did naughty things when she was a child. She climbed over walls and climbed trees. It’s just that when she grows up, she has to be sensible. It’s just that her cognition is limited. How can she know the power in the palace? .

She thought it was all right, but in fact it was a big deal.

Qu Fulan felt that if she wasn't sick, she would be scared to get sick, but now she just feels dizzy, probably also scared.

"I just catch a cold occasionally. I'll be fine after two days of rest. Then I have to go to the palace to see you when I'm free. Now you have to go back to the palace immediately, otherwise if you let other people know, many people will follow suit."

"I want to come out by myself, why do others have to walk around?" The princess was puzzled.

To be honest, Princess Zhuyu's personality is simple and simple in a farmer's house, which is what the elders like, but it is not enough to be seen in the palace.

"Because the princess is a daughter, if there is a slight mistake, all the people who serve her will be punished. If it is light, it will be beaten a few times, and if it is serious, it will be dead. This is the rule of the palace." Qu Fulan explained to her while trying to figure out what to do. Send the princess back.

Otherwise, let the other empresses in the palace know that it's not a joke to make things worse with uneasy and kind intentions.

Princess Zhuyu was startled when she heard this explanation, "Is this so serious?"

"Yes, it's very serious. Where the princess is going in the future, I have to tell the emperor in advance and get permission. Otherwise, like today, people will die sooner or later." Qu Fulan didn't say good things to coax her, but let her know the matter Seriousness will do.

Princess Zhuyu was indeed intimidated, she dared not say a word, and let herself be punished.

This matter cannot be kept from the emperor, Qu Fulan already had a countermeasure in mind, braved the wind and cold and sent the person to the gate of the palace, took the princess token, and asked the person to send the princess to the emperor.

This is the safest way. Otherwise, if you are caught by some empress on the way, or if you have been caught in advance, you might as well go to the emperor to confess and ask for a confession.

Facts have proved that Qu Fulan made the right move.
