Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 223 Returning to Beijing privately, the prince cited criticism
Xie Siru's words made Xuanyuanming look puzzled, and asked, "Is it really not you?"

"I swear to the sky, I really didn't do it. If I knew that the girl that day was someone His Highness liked, I would never dare to conflict with her, and I would treat each other with courtesy!" Xie Siru said sincerely .

Although Xuanyuan Ming didn't fully believe Xie Siru's words, he was not as suspicious as before, he just said: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, if it is found that what you said is what I said, I will definitely not let you go lightly!"

"Your Highness... Give this concubine a hundred guts, and I will not dare to set fire to it. You must know that even the emperor has been involved in this case, because more than a dozen people were burned to death!" Xie Siru said.

Xuanyuanming asked: "Then... what about Yingying? Does...she have?"

"I don't know about this concubine, but I think Miss Yingying is a lucky woman, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. Your Highness might as well look for her. Maybe Miss Yingying escaped, and she is waiting for Your Highness somewhere now!" Xie Siru said, of course she just wanted to It's just to comfort Xuanyuan Ming, if Yingying is really allowed to escape, is that okay?

Xuanyuan Ming was already panicking in his heart. The fire burned so many people to death late at night, but none of the people he sent to protect Yingying was there. Is there any hope for Yingying to survive?
Xuanyuan Ming took a few steps back trembling, and said, "No, I'm going to find her, I'm going to find her!"

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." Xie Siru called a few times, but Xuanyuan Ming couldn't care about anything and ran away!
Xie Siru gritted her teeth and looked at Xuanyuan Ming's leaving back.

"Your Majesty, you are so witty, I admire you!" Haitang said behind her, applauding Xie Siru's performance today in her heart.

Xie Siru looked at Haitang, and said viciously: "Excellent wit? I was almost killed by him!"

"Hey...Your Highness is really too cruel to hit you like this!" Haitang looked at Xie Siru's swollen face, and was very sad.

Xie Siru touched his face, and said: "This slap is worth it, at least... that Hu Meizi is dead, and from now on, anyone who dares to compete with me for favor will die!"

"Your Majesty..." Haitang had never seen Xie Siru look so vicious, and Bi He was too frightened to say anything.

Xie Siru restrained his expression, and said: "Bi He, don't go get me medicine yet, and please ask the imperial doctor to come over and check my pulse!"

Bi He quickly complied, and ran out with her head bowed, fearing that if she walked too slowly, she would become Xie Siru's punching bag.

Xie Siru didn't know that Xuanyuanming actually found Yingying.

What she didn't even expect was that Xuanyuan Ming's return to Beijing this time would cause such a storm, so that all her dreams were shattered!

After Xuanyuan Ming ran out of the East Palace, he didn't know where to find Yingying, so he had to turn back and let the guards of the East Palace go out to find Yingying.

And such a crazy move, of course, attracted the attention of the emperor. When the emperor heard that Xuanyuan Ming had returned to Beijing privately, he was very angry, but he didn't say anything.

But the emperor didn't want to pursue it. It doesn't mean that the royal officials didn't pursue it. Xuanyuanming sneaked back to Beijing before completing the disaster relief errand.

So the Zhezi who participated in Xuanyuanming rushed to the emperor's study like snowflakes, pointing out sharply, pointing out that the emperor should not appoint such a prince as the crown prince, it would be a disaster for the people, a disaster for the Dashun Dynasty!

The emperor tried his best to suppress these papers, but he still couldn't stop the ministers from talking. This time, the ministers who were impartial and neutral all wrote a letter requesting the emperor to punish the prince!

Sitting in the main hall, the emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue who had been silent all the time, and asked, "King Jing, what do you think about this matter?"

The emperor felt that this incident was likely to be caused by his hidden son who led the courtiers to attack the prince.

Xuanyuan Jue just said indifferently: "I have never met His Highness the Crown Prince, so I dare not speak nonsense. Is it possible that someone misunderstood it? His Highness obviously left Beijing not long ago, how could he return so soon?"

The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Jue and frowned. This was a well-known thing, but he didn't know it?It's unlikely, is it?
But in front of the ministers, the emperor can't admit that he also knows about Xuanyuan Ming's private return to Beijing.

"I saw with my own eyes that His Highness the Crown Prince led the guards of the East Palace around the streets, and seemed to be looking for someone!" The one who spoke was Qi Wanming, the prime minister of Yushi Zhongcheng.

"The minister also saw it!"

"The minister also saw it!"

All the ministers expressed that they saw His Highness the Crown Prince with their own eyes.

Xuanyuan Jue frowned, and asked: "If His Royal Highness really returned to Beijing, maybe he is doing some important errand under the order of his father?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, he really couldn't come down, he couldn't admit that he sent Xuanyuan Ming out of Beijing to relieve the disaster, and then suddenly called him back to the capital, doesn't it show that he is an emperor, he is inconsistent and capricious?
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xuanyuan Ming returned to the capital privately.Xuanyuan Ming's looking for people everywhere with such great fanfare was not at all a secret mission, the emperor didn't need to secretly recall him!
Seeing that most of the courtiers were attacking Xuanyuanming, Xie Chongguang was a little panicked, so he hurried forward and said, "Perhaps His Royal Highness has already dealt with the disaster of the Yellow River, that's why he rushed back to the capital!"

"Then why didn't His Highness go to court immediately and report the disaster relief situation to the emperor?" Qi Wanming questioned.

Xie Chongguang looked at the emperor, and said: "Your Highness naturally has his considerations, I believe the emperor must have received His Highness's note!"

The emperor thought for a moment, if he stopped showing his attitude, then Xuanyuan Ming would definitely suffer more criticism, although he was also angry and disappointed with Xuanyuan Ming's behavior, but now is not the time to change the crown prince.

The crown prince is a matter of national importance and cannot be easily shaken. The most important thing is that if Xuanyuan Ming collapses, then... Xuanyuan Jue is the one who is most likely to get the position of crown prince at present, and he cannot make Xuanyuan Jue the crown prince!

The emperor thought about it again and again, and still said: "The crown prince has already submitted the memorial. I also knew about his return to the capital earlier, so it is not considered a private return to the capital!"

The ministers of the court looked at the emperor and fell silent. Qi Wanming was about to speak, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Jue with a sneaky wave of his hand.

It's not the time yet... because there will be bigger somersaults waiting for Xuanyuan Ming!
The more the emperor tried his best at this time, the more he would hate Xuanyuanming in the future. He was just waiting for the moment of reckoning!
Xuanyuan Jue knew his father very well, but the emperor might not know his sons too well!
Xuanyuan Ming's private return to Beijing was temporarily suppressed by the emperor, but the ministers in the court knew very well that this was the emperor's protection, and they could not say anything, but the prince's reckless behavior and dereliction of duty have already made the ministers dissatisfied.

He is the crown prince, the future emperor, if he behaves like this, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country?

At this moment, Xuanyuanming didn't know that when he was so focused on looking for Yingying, such a shock had already occurred in the court.

And it was at this time that Xuanyuanming found the joy of coming out to fetch medicine for Yingying.

"Huanxi..." Xuanyuan Ming saw Huanxi's person from a distance, and his excitement was beyond words. Huanxi is still alive, which means Yingying is not dead!

Huanxi heard Xuanyuanming's call, tears welled up in her eyes, she fell to the ground and cried: "Your Highness, you are back, Miss is almost dead!"

Seeing Huanxi crying with tears all over his face, Xuanyuanming hurriedly asked, "How is Yingying?"

"Miss...Miss was seriously ill and just recovered a little bit. The fire almost killed her!" Huanxi said.

Xuanyuan Ming quickly grabbed Huanxi and said, "Take me to see her!"

Huanxi naturally nodded desperately, Xuanyuanming ran all the way to the inn, and finally saw Yingying who was still on the hospital bed, pale and fragile.

"Yingying..." Xuanyuanming's call made Yingying very pleasantly surprised, but at the same time burst into tears.

Yingying looked at Xuanyuanming and asked incredulously, "Your Highness? Your Highness...is it really you?"

"It's me, it's me... Yingying, you have suffered!" Xuanyuan Ming looked at the much thinner and more pitiful Yingying, and his heart ached to death.

Yingying flung herself into Xuanyuanming's arms and cried for a long time. Xuanyuanming kept coaxing her, and it took a long time for Yingying to stop crying.

"Yingying, tell me, what happened?" Xuanyuan Ming asked nervously after seeing that Yingying finally stopped crying.

Yingying shook her head and said, "Your Highness, it's great to see you again, Yingying doesn't want to mention the past anymore!"

Xuanyuan Ming frowned, and then said: "No, I must investigate this matter, is someone trying to harm you?"

Yingying shook her head, but Suxin finally couldn't help but stepped forward, bowed to Xuanyuanming, and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, this servant has to complain for the girl, the girl escaped from death this time, it is really God's blessing! "

"What happened, Su Xin, you just say it's okay!" Xuanyuan Ming said.

Yingying hurriedly said: "Suxin, don't talk about it, we have no evidence for this matter, so don't make things difficult for Your Highness!"

"What happened? Su Xin, tell me!" Xuanyuan Ming was not willing to listen to Ying Ying's words, insisting on telling the truth from his heart.

Su Xin then said while weeping: "Young lady won't let the servants say it, but the servants will also say it. The girl and the servants almost died in the fire. If it weren't for several guards who tried their best to save them, now that His Highness is back, I am afraid that even the servants will die." The girl's body was nowhere to be found, it was not an accident as Jing Zhaoyin said, it was arson!"

"Arson? Do you know who it is?" Xuanyuan Ming asked angrily.

Su Xin said: "Your Highness, please forgive this servant for the death penalty. This servant believes that this incident was done by Concubine Xie Shu. She had a conflict with the girl that day, but within a few days, the house was burned down. It was not her, but who?"

Yingying looked at Xuanyuanming, and then said: "Your Highness, don't listen to Su Xin, Concubine Xie Shu has no grievances or enmity with me, there is no need to harm me, there must be a misunderstanding, besides...even Jing Zhaoyin can't find out the truth. Whoever set the fire, we have no proof, and we cannot wrongly concubine Xie Shu!"
