Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 238

All the ministers also looked at the emperor's appearance. Due to the pressure that the prime minister put on them, they also wanted to speak, but if they talked about this situation now, they would definitely be imprisoned.

In the entire hall, there was only one person who appeared from the beginning to the end without saying a word, as if he had no sense of existence at all, and this person was His Royal Highness the First Prince.

He secretly observed Que Ruoyu, feeling that he had grasped Que Ruoyu's secret, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the emperor waved them away, Que Ruoyu didn't care about other people's strange eyes on her. Many people knew her identity and were a little confused about her relationship with His Royal Highness, but only some maids in the palace knew about her. Relationship with His Royal Highness.

But only Cuizhu and Hongchan know how far it has progressed.

Arriving at the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already woken up, but his face is pale and his body is weak, but his spirit has improved a lot. This time, I really want to thank Concubine Xiang.

"Finally woke up, almost scared me to death, no more." Sitting at the bedside of His Highness the Crown Prince, Que Ruoyu said while drinking the medicine for His Highness the Crown Prince while taking the medicine bowl from the servant girl.

Looking at her worried look, His Royal Highness felt sweet in his heart. After drinking the medicine, he saw that Que Ruoyu wanted to go out, so he stopped her.

"Let them go out, I have something to tell you."

Hearing what His Highness the Crown Prince said, all the maids who were serving at the side went out, leaving Que Ruoyu alone in his room. Que Ruoyu looked at him and wondered what to say. Could it be that the Queen's medicine Did you eat it on purpose?
Seeing Que Ruoyu's suspicious expression, His Royal Highness sighed, and said, "Where did I go, how could I possibly harm myself!"

But what he's going to say next is indeed harmful to his own signs, so he has to be careful, Quan Xiaoli thought so.

"Actually, what happened was like this. When I got the result from the interrogation that day, Ben Gong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Cai Heng immediately went to find the father."

"But because there is no complete evidence for the results obtained, and I was afraid that the queen would not admit it, so I wanted to find evidence, so I lied to them that the evidence was in the hands of this palace. I didn't expect that the queen was really fooled and sent someone to assassinate me. .”

"You will understand the next thing, because the empress jumped over the wall in a hurry, and now she bribes that maid to drug her, thinking that the gods don't know it."

"I still want to find a scapegoat to hurt me, but now, the evidence of the crime has been found, and all of them have fallen into the hands of the emperor. This time, she must not be allowed to pass the test easily."

Hearing what His Royal Highness said, and remembering how he was when his drug addiction broke out just now, Que Ruoyu felt a pang in his heart, and felt that he would never let Quan Xiaoli be tortured like that again.

"You know, what you did just now almost scared me to death. I lost my mind at all, do you understand? But don't worry, the Empress Dowager must be doomed this time, because the emperor has ordered that if anyone comes to intercede, the result will be It’s always a crime.”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded. He was naturally satisfied with the result. It was worthwhile to suffer this time, and it was not in vain.

In the end, Que Ruoyu did not leave the Crown Prince's East Palace, but stayed in the East Palace to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince.

But the next morning, when Que Ruoyu and His Highness the Crown Prince had just finished breakfast, the Emperor sent someone over to discuss something with the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left in a hurry. His body has almost recovered after a night, and there is no major problem now.

And what about Que Ruoyu?When returning to the place where he lived, he met a familiar father-in-law.That person is a close minister next to His Highness the First Prince, and he didn't know what was going on when he came to look for him this time.

When I came to the imperial garden, I saw a man, dressed in a moon-white python robe, tall and tall, very gentle.Quite like everyone else, isn't this the First Prince His Highness Quan Langyuan.

Moreover, Que Ruoyu found out that as soon as she came in front of His Highness the First Prince, that little eunuch left by himself. Could it be that there is something to say that should not be known to others?
"I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to come anyway. You are so smart, do you know why I asked you to come this time?"

Hearing what His Royal Highness said, Que Ruoyu raised his brows, but did not answer.

Not hearing her answer, the eldest prince felt a little impatient in his heart, which rarely appeared in his heart, especially after feeling all the things she did for His Royal Highness yesterday, his heart became more and more irritable.

"I called you here today, I just don't understand something, and I want to hear your opinion."

Que Ruoyu was a little surprised when he heard what he said, did he catch him by what he did, didn't he?She has always acted carefully, except for losing her mind yesterday, she has no problems at all.

His Highness the First Prince looked at her like that, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I feel that you have a deep relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't understand this point, so I want to hear your opinion."

"You are the princess of the previous dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of this dynasty. What do you think the father will do if he knows the news? And his officials in the East Palace, what are the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thinking?"

Que Ruoyu already understood what the East Palace officials said. Cai Heng and Wang Bo didn't object to her at all. It's just that His Highness the First Prince was right, and now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty don't know about it.

And the emperor didn't know about this matter, even if the emperor could treat the former princess preferentially, he would not treat the former princess so favorably that he would become his daughter-in-law, and even become the master of the middle palace in the future, the mother of the world.

Such a thing has never happened before, and His Royal Highness is now in an unstable situation in the court.

Many ministers supported His Royal Highness the First Prince. His Royal Highness was already weak. If Cai Heng and Cai Heng's uncle were not standing beside him, he would be even weaker.

If my own affairs are exposed, it is estimated that it will cause some backlash, and it will be troublesome at that time.

So when Que Ruoyu heard it, her face was quite ugly. She was already ready to leave.

After all, the remnants of the previous dynasty have come to her twice, and she knows that if those people come for the third time, then she will have no way out. The first two times are just stepping stones, the purpose is to make her mentally prepared .

And she had explained to Concubine Xiang last time that at that time, she was actually ready to leave, but she never thought that on the eve of her departure, His Royal Highness the First Prince would come to find fault with her.

And she didn't know what to do. Although His Highness the First Prince had a good temper, he was full of conspiracy, so she was very worried about her situation and His Highness the Crown Prince.

"As long as you cooperate with me, I can give you whatever you want. How about it, you can think about it carefully, and I found out a few days ago that someone from outside the palace came in to look for you. I didn't expect that there would be someone beside you. There are quite a lot of people.”

Hearing what His Royal Highness said, she felt cold, why did that person let others find him?
She knew the abilities of those people. If those people didn't want others to discover them, others would not be able to discover them. It seemed that those people wanted to force her to express her opinion.

What crime did I do? No matter what I did, others were watching, and it was not just one or two. The Queen finally stepped down, so I can breathe a sigh of relief, but the troublesome things continued to come again.

"Are you threatening me? Your Royal Highness?"

He was indeed threatening her, but hearing Que Ruoyu's unkind words still made the eldest prince feel uncomfortable.

But Que Ruoyu didn't intend to continue to entangle with the eldest prince here, because she didn't intend to talk about things that had no results.

"I am indeed threatening you. I will give you two days to think about it. If you don't get a result in these two days, I will help you make a choice. I hope you will not regret it at that time."

After saying this, the eldest prince turned around and left, his movements were chic and elegant, which would make people think that he was a handsome gentleman.And when you really realize what kind of person he is, you will say a word, hypocrite.

She is still a hypocrite with a hobby and scheming, Que Ruoyu sighed in her heart, although she is capable, she can only protect herself, now that the queen has fallen, the one who is threatened by the crown prince in the palace is the eldest prince.

As long as this thing is done well, then she can leave. Thinking of this, she sighed again. For some reason, she didn't feel it before, but now when she wanted to leave, she felt a strong feeling in her heart. Don't give up, there will never be before.

But there are some things, even if you don't want to, you still have to do it.

In the afternoon of the next day, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, who was building a palace in the distance, hurried back to Beijing. After arriving at the palace, he did not stop for a while, but immediately went to the upper study to speak to the emperor.

The emperor also had a bit of a headache for this son, he was kind by nature, just the opposite of his mother.Hearing that he was coming, although I didn't want to see him, I had to explain to him.

"Father, what big mistake did the mother make to treat her like this?"

As soon as the fourth prince came in, he knelt on the ground and said.It seemed that he was really in a hurry, he didn't even remember the most basic salutes, but the emperor didn't care.

Eunuch Gao went down to help him stand up, and then lifted a chair for him.

"Your Highness, the emperor didn't do this alone. Don't worry, Your Highness, just listen to the servant's detailed explanation."

This matter was explained to him by His Majesty the Emperor. It was not easy for His Majesty to explain it to his son, so he asked Eunuch Gao to explain it to him.

"It's like this, yesterday..., and then...."

Afterwards, Eunuch Gao finished the whole thing. In the middle, the fourth prince wanted to interrupt several times, but the emperor all signaled him to let him continue listening.

When Eunuch Gao finished speaking, the fourth prince knelt on the ground, looking at his father who was sitting in the upper seat with tears on his face.

"Father, the queen mother has been with the father and husband for dozens of years? Can you save her life?"
