Chapter 175 It’s time for Yun Qing to meet the Emperor
During her years in the harem, she was a beauty but had no one to serve her. She spent her days making snacks and delicacies. Fortunately, her unselfish nature made the person behind the scenes relax their vigilance against her, and at least she saved her life.
"And me, I will learn the craft from you. Once I learn it, won't I be able to take better care of the princess?"
Xue'er said with a smile.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
While everyone was talking, they heard the guards' report.
Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet them. Princess Yunqing and her mother, Concubine Song, followed behind them without even raising their heads.
"Qing'er wasn't hurt, was she? How dare they! They even poisoned Prince Yu's mansion! Once I investigate, I'll kill all of his clan!"
After receiving the news from Fengying, Prince Jiajing rushed here without stopping. Seeing the lifeless cook lying in a pool of blood, he glared at him fiercely and yelled to Chang Tianli who was following beside him.
"Who exactly is this person colluding with the Xiao Nation?! We still have no clues! He's getting a very comfortable salary, isn't he?"
Chang Tianli hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
"I have been investigating this matter..."
"I'll give you another seven days. If you still can't find the answer, you might as well go to Ningguta and find Nangong Xun to keep you company!"
Prince Jiajing was so angry that his nose was crooked. Liu Fugui, who had given false testimony, finally told the truth. In addition, the ghost-catching farce in Prince Qi's mansion and the people from the Mingye Palace of the underworld surfaced. The rumors among the people that Fang Qingqing was possessed by an evil ghost and could bring disaster to Dayan were finally suppressed.
Originally I thought that with the Dali Temple fully investigating this matter, Qing'er could rest assured and take care of her pregnancy in the palace. However, I didn't expect that they were still so determined that they even poisoned Prince Yu's palace!
Qing'er is pregnant with twins, they are his royal grandchildren. Now Ting'er is injured, how can Prince Yu's Mansion allow any more trouble!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be extra careful. Please don't worry too much."
The coroner has already started the autopsy. The Dali Temple will deliberately spread the news. Even a person with such a hidden identity can be investigated and punished. The murderer has now committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The mastermind behind the scenes must have become a frightened bird.
After the strangers had left, only Prince Yu and his wife, Chang Tianli and the Emperor were left in the room. Fang Qingqing then told them what was going on in the palace.
"Qing'er, you're saying that someone started plotting to harm the royal heirs more than ten years ago. This person wasn't Lv Shufang, but someone else! His goal wasn't wealth or power, but the Great Yan Empire!"
"Come to think of it, why have I been suffering from abdominal pain for years? But the problem is, my diet and daily life are all taken care of by the imperial kitchen. Before I eat, Eunuch Zhao also tests for poison. Why hasn't anyone found it yet?"
"Li Huating and the Third and Fourth Princes' food and drink were all tested for poison. How could they have been completely unaware?"
Prince Jiajing said with a look of shock that he couldn't understand it.
"What he wants to do is to achieve his goal quietly and without anyone noticing! If he rushes into things, he'll be easily exposed. From what the cook said, his family is in that person's hands. His methods are indeed sinister."
"He also asked His Majesty to take a closer look at the people around him. So this person must be a member of the royal family. Father, please take a look..."
Fang Qingqing took out the blurry letter and expressed her doubts.
"A careful consideration of the timing reveals a problem! The princess's ability to discern and analyze things far surpasses that of everyone in the Dali Temple..."
Chang Tianli looked at Fang Qingqing with admiration. The emperor had shown him the letter, but he hadn't noticed anything in it! No wonder the emperor admired Princess Yu so much, risking the public outrage and dissatisfaction of the officials to protect her.
"When the Minister of the Temple of the Temple of the Lord Chang was searching the Kunning Palace, did he find anything unusual..."
Li Zhenting asked in a deep voice.
Chang Tianli thought for a while and shook his head. After the ghost-catching incident in Prince Qi's mansion, Lu Shufang went crazy that night. The next morning, he led his troops to search Kunning Palace. During that time, the gates of Kunning Palace were closed and there were a large number of guards guarding the front and back. Not even a fly could fly in.
How did this person manage to sneak this letter into Kunning Palace?
"To sum up, this person has the following characteristics."
"First, he's skilled in poison. Whether it's Father, the Third Prince, or the Fourth Prince, they all carry slow-acting poisons. These poisons are difficult to detect and cannot be detected by ordinary poison detection methods. Second, this person is within the palace and has a special status, allowing him easy access to Father and the princes."
"Now, his target is me on the surface, but his real target is Prince Yu! His ultimate goal is to cut off my father's lineage so that the Great Yan Empire can be taken over by a new ruler!"
"So, Qing'er is willing to take the initiative and lure him out!"
Fang Qingqing said decisively. So far, there's no other way but to take this risky tactic.
Prince Jiajing's face turned pale and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
When he thought about how there had been jackals lurking around him for many years, and that he, the king of a country, could not even protect his own princes, causing his few children to be persecuted and mute, some to be stupid, and Ting'er, the only one who grew up safely and healthily and hoped to inherit the great cause in the future, to be harmed and become in this miserable state, he felt like his heart was being cut open.
After hearing Fang Qingqing say that she would host a banquet at Prince Yu's Mansion in three days to find the mastermind behind the scenes, Prince Jiajing felt mixed emotions, relieved but also extremely nervous.
After all, Fang Qingqing is pregnant now. If this were normal, she should be given full attention and care to nurture the baby. However, because she is the Princess of Yu, she is repeatedly plotted against by others!
He must do his best to protect her personal safety!
After Chang Tianli left, Fang Qingqing saw Prince Jiajing looking around with anticipation on his face. She immediately understood and accompanied him to Qingzhu Residence.
Since we are here, we might as well take him to meet Yun Qing.
Ever since Yun Qing returned to Prince Yu's mansion from Nianci Temple, she had been taking the medicinal food prepared according to her physical condition, and her health had gradually recovered. However, until now, she had never mentioned meeting the emperor.
It's time for Yun Qing and the emperor to reconcile. Everything that happened before was beyond their control.
Yun Qing was sitting at the table with Concubine Song, writing. According to what she learned from Tong'er, she wrote down the princess's eating and living habits one by one, so that it would be easier for her mother to take good care of the princess.
"Mother, my second sister-in-law is a sleepyhead. We don't need to have breakfast too early. Unless there are special circumstances, breakfast can be served at 9:00 PM."
"Second sister-in-law likes candy and snacks, so don't make it too sweet."
Yun Qing's profile as she was writing at the desk was truly beautiful. She was wearing a moon-white long dress and had a simple bun on her head. Although she had no accessories on her bun, she looked even more beautiful and dignified.
As if he had noticed something, Yun Qing looked up and suddenly looked panicked!
