Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 125 Amazing Inside Story

After leaving Wang's house, Qiao Xi did not take the carriage again, but walked with a group of people to the Dali Temple.

This was the first time in the five years since the prince's accident that she walked the streets of the capital in such a high-profile manner as Qiao Xi.

The crowd of people watching the fun, in addition to inquiring about the Wang family's affairs, inevitably discussed her illness.

"Princess Chaoyang looks healthy. She doesn't look like someone who has been ill for years, does she?"

"Doesn't the King of Jiangbei have a doctor who can detoxify him? Perhaps it was that doctor who cured Princess Chaoyang."

Yongshou, disguised as an old man, said, "Hush, I heard from the cousin of my old woman's nephew's third aunt's sister-in-law's husband that..."

He looked around, and the people nearby, whose attention had been drawn to him, urged him, "Speak up."

It's unethical to keep people in suspense with gossip.

Yongshou protected his lips with his hand and whispered to the people around him in a genuine Beijing accent, "My old woman's nephew's third aunt's sister-in-law's husband's cousin just came back from northern Xinjiang a few days ago.

I heard that when Princess Chaoyang got married, porridge was distributed at the gate of Jiangbei City, and Princess Chaoyang also showed up. She was in good health and had no illness at all.

He was so sick in the capital that he couldn't even leave the palace. How come he got better once he left the capital?

Could it be that all the doctors in the capital, as well as the skilled imperial physicians in the palace, are not as good as the doctors around the King of Jiangbei?

From my perspective, there are probably too many twists and turns here.

Poor Qiao Jiashi, who replaced Dayou to guard the border, was killed in battle. The girl who finally survived had to live such a difficult life. What a sin!

"You damn old man, you're not going to live anymore, and you dare to talk nonsense to others."

Yongshou's ears were suddenly twisted by someone. It turned out to be a tall old woman with a fleshy face.

The old man, Yongshou, begged for mercy, "Master, please be gentle. I have lived a peaceful life for many years thanks to the Qiao family. I am now speaking up for Princess Chaoyang and the Qiao family."

"It's no use complaining about it. The princess knows who you are. Besides, she was bullied and plotted against. What does it have to do with us ordinary people?"

The old woman glared at Yongshou and threw him in with several people who were talking to him.

He cursed, "You can't even live your own lives, and you still have time to watch the fun here. Don't you know your own weight?

You are such a bunch of incompetent people who only care about the things that matter to you. Do you really expect you to help that orphan girl? Come home with me, you bastards."

After saying that, he pulled the old man Yongshou's ear, cursed at him, and walked away quickly.

Yongshou seemed unable to break free and sighed, "Alas, it's my own fault that I'm useless. I've let a shrew like you take charge. You've even lost your conscience..."

Those who were scolded were inexplicably scolded and were extremely angry.

What do you mean they can't live their lives well?

What do you mean they don’t know their own weight?

Why do you call them incompetent?

Also, the people of Dayou are all protected by the Qiao family. Now that they know that Princess Chaoyang has been bullied, how can that old woman have a warm body and say such cold and hard words?

Several people were indignant at the old woman's scolding and started complaining.

They had not heard clearly what the old man said, but seeing this, they became more curious and asked, "What did the old man say?"

Judging from how nervous the old woman is, I'm afraid there's some shocking news.

The people who were scolded for being incompetent looked at each other, and when their blood boiled, they said what Yongshou had said, and asked everyone to help spread it, in order to seek justice for the orphan girl of the Qiao family.

Didn’t the old woman say they were useless? They wanted to let the old woman see that they, the common people, could also do things.

Besides, they are not as heartless as the old woman.

But there were also some people who remained rational and asked, "We don't know if what the old man said is true."

Dressed in men's clothing, Xiaoman, who had been silent all this time, raised her hand timidly. She pinched her throat and imitated the eunuch's tone, "I heard, I heard it.

Last night, Princess Chaoyang was bullied by Chief Steward Cao as soon as she entered the palace. Fortunately, she was protected by King Jiangbei.

However, after they rested, Manager Cao used the excuse that there was an assassin in the palace and took people to search the houses of Princess Chaoyang and King Jiangbei.

That’s not all. After searching the house, they also searched the two men’s bodies, treating them like thieves.

Generally speaking, Princess Chaoyang grew up in the palace, and the Second Prince's return to the palace is like returning home..."

She didn't continue with the rest of the words, but everyone understood that the two people who returned home were bullied by the servants in their own home.

Xiaoman seemed very scared and looked around.

“I heard that the King of Jiangbei also suspected something fishy about Princess Chaoyang’s illness.

The King of Northern Xinjiang is able to help us drive away the barbarians, so he is definitely not stupid, and he must have seen something to say so."

She cleared her throat, as if trying to appear normal.

He added to the crowd, “I also heard about it, I don’t know if it’s true or not.

I just think what the old man said just now makes a lot of sense. People should not be without conscience."

Everyone understood what she meant, so she took the risk of revealing the palace maid's secret.

As for her identity, everyone knew it well: she had a fair complexion, no beard, and a shrill duck voice.

A little eunuch in the palace.

This is much more realistic than the old man's just now.

"Are you going to leave or not? You'll get scolded if you're late." Everyone saw another tall and thin young man pulling the little eunuch's clothes.

The young eunuch flattered, "Listen a little longer."

The tall and thin boy complained, "Anyone is as stupid as you, daring to reveal any information."

"I don't like to hear that."

A young man said angrily, "Who hasn't got a bit of justice yet?"

He also looked around and beckoned everyone to bow their heads with both hands, "The year the Qiao family was in trouble, I was eight years old. I offended my stepmother and she kicked me out in the middle of the night.

I had no place to sleep, so I decided to stay at the back door of Qiao's house for the night. But guess what I saw?

Although the Qiao family has been guarding the northern border for generations, they also have a house in the capital, which is managed by the Qiao family's loyal servants.

When beggars came, they would give them some food. If they met homeless people, they would allow them to stay under the eaves of their door and lend them some warm clothes.

This was the rule left by the ancestors of the Qiao family. Everyone in the capital knew it, and everyone urged the young man to continue.

"Hurry up and tell me, what did you see?"

"Yeah, tell me, what did you see?"

The young man sneered, "It's a carriage from the palace, and there are many eunuchs and palace maids following the carriage."

"What do you mean?"

The young man's face was filled with the smugness of someone who had seen through the secrets, but it quickly turned into anger. "That night was the night before the news of the Qiao family's incident reached the capital. Do you understand?"

Seeing everyone's eyes wide open, especially the tall and thin young man, a look of inquiry appeared on his cold face.

He explained it himself, "That is to say, Madam Qiao didn't know that something happened to the Qiao family yet, and someone from the palace came to the Qiao family in the middle of the night.

The next day, news of the Qiao family's deaths arrived, and Mrs. Qiao was so devastated that she vomited blood and died that day.

Xiaoman suppressed the excitement in her heart and said calmly, "This doesn't mean anything."

Although the palace was locked at night and ordinary people could not leave, if there was a nobleman who was on good terms with the Qiao family and got permission from the emperor, it was not impossible for him to visit the Qiao family at night.

The young man didn't act cute this time, "Not long after the sedan left, Madam Qiao arrived at the back door.

She gave me a piece of silver and said, "Go quickly, child, and don't let anyone know that you are here tonight. Don't tell anyone."

The Qiao family never chases people away.

Her abnormal behavior that night could only mean that Mrs. Qiao realized that people wandering around the Qiao family would be in danger.

Who would attack a homeless child? Of course, the people in the palace carriage didn't want anyone to know that someone went to the Qiao family that night.

The young man's voice rang out again, "Do you remember? After Mrs. Qiao died, several loyal servants of the Qiao family also died for their master."

Although he was only eight years old at the time, he knew that there were some things that could not be said. If he was not careful, he would die and his family would be implicated.

But now that his father is dead, only his vicious stepmother and her son are left at home. Why should he be afraid of bringing trouble to his family?

He said bitterly, "I have always suspected that Mrs. Qiao did not die of grief, but was murdered."
