After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 409: Helping to fight for favor

 When the things were delivered to the emperor, the emperor was thinking about how to punish Li Ziqin.

For the emperor, it is very normal for officials to exclude dissidents and attack others. However, now that Gu Mingda is the one he has to rely on, Li Ziqin's actions can be said to be particularly shameless. In order to cover up the truth, he even resorted to violence. Killing an official of the imperial court can be said to be outrageous and outrageous.

The emperor didn't care that Li Ziqin framed Zhang Yunniang for He's death, but he, an official of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Industry, had to find a reason to take action even if he wanted to, but Li Ziqin's men took action as soon as they were told.

Naturally, such a scandal cannot be made public, but he was unwilling to let the emperor cover up Li Ziqin like this.

The emperor couldn't help but think about how these two unrelated people could develop a grudge. After thinking about it, the emperor naturally thought of the beautiful lady in the palace.

Li Meiren is narrow-minded, and it seems reasonable if she holds a grudge against Niu Niu and wants to destroy the Gu family.

But the emperor still couldn't help but feel that Li Ziqin was stupid for being able to be manipulated by Beauty Li. He vaguely felt that there was something that he seemed to have overlooked.

Miss Li San did not see the emperor. The things were sent in by Qian Rongsheng, interrupting the emperor's meditation.

"Your Majesty, Miss Li is still waiting outside. I just want to say that it was Empress Li who said it herself. All the unspeakable things in the past were really because she had no choice but to do so. I beg Your Majesty to remember the past and not embarrass her too much." Qian Rong Sheng said in a low voice, as the emperor's internal steward, Qian Rongsheng knew better than anyone else the status of Li Meiren in the emperor's heart. Because of this, even if Li Meiren's status dropped again and again, Qian Rongsheng would not dare to do anything. Any slight.

"Your concubine..." The emperor paused as soon as he spoke. The habits he has developed over the years are not that easy to change. He sighed and said, "Since Mr. Li has even taken out this thing, I will let Li Ziqin go this time. "

Qian Rongsheng listened to the whole story. Although it was Da He and Lu Long who died, the tip of the iceberg was revealed about Li Ziqin. What was a military attache like him doing in buying people in the Ministry of Industry in advance? Is it just the Ministry of Industry that has the manpower? What is he planning?

Qian Rongsheng felt that the emperor could not be unclear about things that he could figure out, but it seemed that the emperor still wanted to expose them lightly.

"Order Li Ziqin to inspect the capital of the nine provinces and inspect the borders according to orders." The emperor gave the final order.

The nine provinces are under inspection, and he seems to have great power, but in fact he is just a glorified official. If nothing happens to the nine provinces, that's fine, but if something happens, he will bear the brunt.

Moreover, there are nine border provinces, far away from the capital, and running around here and there can even be said to be a chore.

Qian Rongsheng bowed and retreated.

Miss Li San was still waiting outside, and when she saw Qian Rongsheng, she immediately came over to greet him.

There was actually an information gap between her and Qian Rongsheng. The governor of Jingzhao reported it secretly, and the Li family's aunt and nephew had no idea that Li Ziqin had been exposed outside.

"Miss Li San, please go back. Your Majesty has agreed to what Empress Li asked for," Qian Rongsheng said.

Miss Li San asked: "Father-in-law, can my aunt be lifted from the ban now? Can she return to her position as a noble concubine?"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Rongsheng looked at her, and she looked at Qian Rongsheng with clear and innocent eyes.

Qian Rongsheng felt troubled for the first time in so many years in front of the emperor. What the hell, Li Meiren came out with a big killer weapon of unknown nature, not to save Li Ziqin's life, but to lift the ban for herself?

This was the first time that Miss Li San saw the chief eunuch, with so many expression changes on her face.

"Does your aunt want to ask for the ban to be lifted and reset?" Qian Rongsheng asked.

Miss Li San nodded. Although my aunt was demoted to Zhaoyi before, she was still the head of the first palace, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation conditions were not bad. However, after being demoted to beauty, she moved directly to Guanju Palace and was tormented by various people.

After being demoted one after another, the Queen Mother was not happy, and she had not seen the emperor for many days. Li Meiren was used to pampering herself. She was not used to such a life. From the moment she learned that Niu Niu left the palace, she felt that others could not do things well, or You have to do it yourself after the ban is lifted.

She pinned all her hopes on this old purse.

"Third Miss, Your Majesty has already promised to give the Li family other favors when he saw the purse. If you want to change it, you should tell His Majesty in person." Qian Rongsheng said.

Miss Li San was so frightened that she took a step back. She had no ability to face the emperor directly.

But when I think about it, if I mess up the errand, I will be tortured by my aunt when I go back, which seems to be just as uncomfortable.

"Father, can you please go and see my aunt?" Miss Li San begged Qian Rongsheng.

Qian Rongsheng shook his head and said, "If your Majesty wants to see her, he will go see her when he sees the purse."

Qian Rongsheng had a vague feeling that if Li Ziqin's case had not been found out, the emperor might go see someone when he saw the purse. But now that this happened, although the emperor had forgiven Li Ziqin, he might not want to see him these days. people.

It happened that at this time, Grandma Sun also came.

"Excuse me, Manager Qian, let me know that Concubine Shun has vomited again since she got up early. Although the doctor has diagnosed and treated her and it is not serious, the Queen Mother still wants to ask your Majesty to go and comfort her." Grandma Sun said in a matter-of-fact tone.

If Concubine Shun wanted to compete for favor, Qian Rongsheng might still hesitate for a moment, but when the Queen Mother came forward, Qian Rongsheng could only nod to Miss Li San before turning back.

Not long after, the emperor's support came out, and a group of people went in the direction of Shoukang Palace. The emperor did see Miss Li San waiting on the roadside, but he did not stop.

In the Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was still comforting the frightened Concubine Shun.

"Your Majesty is busy with political affairs, why should you disturb His Majesty's closeness because of a trivial matter like this?" Concubine Shun was fine. She just suffered from morning sickness due to routine, and she did not expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly make a fuss out of a molehill.

The Queen Mother said: "Your pregnancy is precious, no matter how small it is, it is a big deal. Only when you are in a good mood can the child in your belly be healthy and lively."

Although the Queen Mother was using Concubine Shun as a raft, she had arranged this event since she received the news that Miss Li San was going to deliver something to the emperor. She wanted to make the emperor remember that Meiren Li had ordered Meiren Liu to use witchcraft to murder Concubine Shun. .

As for whether the witchcraft incident was instigated by Li Meiren, it doesn't matter. Li Meiren has done too many wrong things in the past, and it can be said that there are many murders. Even if she did not do it, the emperor will believe that she can do it with her character. This kind of thing.

The Queen Mother was also very satisfied with Concubine Shun's attitude at this time. After all, as a concubine, it was her duty not to disturb the emperor with matters concerning the harem.

The emperor came in a hurry, and the queen mother was immediately satisfied. It seemed that Li Meiren's gift this time did not have much impact on the emperor.

"Emperor, take a look, Concubine Shun's little face is so pale. The Ai family feels really distressed when they see her." The Queen Mother pointed at Concubine Shun and said.
