242 The emperor tried his best
Qing Yi seemed to smell a strong smell of blood, and her heart suddenly tightened. Just as she was about to ask a question, she heard a message from outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Wei has something urgent to ask for. //Baidu search: 78.//"
Xiao Hua tightened his hold on Qing Yi's waist and kissed her on the cheek.
Qing Yi smiled slightly and said, "Go." Although she wanted to know how her father would sentence her, but as the king of a country, national affairs were current, and family affairs could only be put aside for the time being. She believed that he would give her an explanation.
Xiao Hua let go and stood up, walking towards the door.
Although the Duke of Chu was guilty, Qing Yi had made meritorious service to the Yan State and was not subject to any restrictions.
After Xiao Hua left, he called Qiao Yun and asked, "Do you know what happened ahead?"
Qiaoyun is an internal official and cannot participate in the previous events. He does not know much about the previous events, but he is not completely unaware of any disturbances in the palace.
After serving Qing Yi for the past few days, I already know the status of the empress in the emperor's heart. He said truthfully: "I heard that there are people in the prison of the Ministry of Justice who are leading the rebellion, and there are also people outside who are echoing the call and inciting the people to rebel against the emperor..."
Qiaoyun said this and did not dare to say any more.
Qing Yi clenched her hands suddenly, and her face instantly turned pale, "Do you know who is the leader?"
Qiao Yun shook his head, "I don't know."
Qing Yi stood up suddenly and hurried out. When he arrived at the door, he shouted: "Sir Ling Yun has come to the palace."
She had already learned that Ling Yun pretended to be Xiao Hua and was stationed in the army when Xiao Hua was not in the military camp, so apart from personal matters, there was nothing Ling Yun didn't know about.
Half an hour later, Ling Feng appeared in the study room of Yongning Palace.
Qing Yi did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Master Ling must have guessed why I asked you to enter the palace."
Ling Yun can replace Xiao Hua, so naturally he is as knowledgeable as Xiao Hua. On the way, he asked Qing Yi when he returned to the palace and what happened after entering the palace. He already guessed Qing Yi's purpose of calling him into the palace. At this time, Qing Yi was He asked directly and said: "It is in vain for the queen to summon me to the palace. I can't say anything. No matter how much the queen asks, I can't say anything."
Qing Yi said: "I understand, if it is not convenient for Master Ling to answer, you don't have to answer."
Ling Yun also knew Qing Yi somewhat and knew that she was a sensible girl. "Thank you for your understanding, Madam."
Qing Yi paused, then prepared for the worst and said, "Is my father the leader of this trouble in the prison of the Criminal Department?"
Ling Yun raised his head and looked into Qing Yi's eyes, a little surprised, "What do you think, the empress?"
Qing Yi looked directly into his eyes and said, "It can't be my father."
Ling Yun asked strangely: "Why are you so sure?"
"My father has lost his fighting spirit." Qing Yi felt sad thinking about the situation when he saw his father in the prison yesterday.
Ling Yun's expression remained unchanged, "Since your Majesty is so sure, why do you need to ask Wei Chen again?"
Qing Yi smiled bitterly, "Because among the courtiers, I'm afraid the only one I can trust is Lord Ling."
Ling Yun was silent, and after a long time he said: "It's a pity that I can't help you."
Qing Yi nodded, "But I still hope Master Ling will tell me who picked the trouble." She believed that those people who stirred up trouble in the prison targeted his father.
Ling Yun lowered his eyebrows slightly and said hesitantly: "What if the empress knows about it?"
Qing Yi said: "I just want to have peace of mind."
Ling Yun nodded, "It's Butler Zhang from the Duke of Chu's mansion."
"It turned out to be him." Qing Yi remembered that when her father and Marquis Snake surrounded her and Marquis Pingyang in the mansion, Butler Zhang followed behind with a sneer on his lips.
The Snake Marquis is really good at it, no wonder he can fight with Xiao Hua for two lifetimes.
Snake Marquis had previously realized that his father could not defeat Xiao Hua, so he first gave the green sandalwood to his mother, who then added the green sandalwood to her sachet.
As expected, her father failed to seize the throne. After his father failed, he sent someone to assassinate her. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, Xiao Hua would be suspicious of her and thus alienated her relationship with Xiao Hua.
If successful, his plan would end there.
However, Xiao Hua was not as suspicious of Qing Yi as he wanted, and turned against Qing Yi. Instead, he took advantage of his plan and joined forces with Qing Yi to destroy the barbarians, allowing Qing Yi to achieve first-class merit.
Qing Yi has made great achievements, so it is natural that the courtiers will not be able to force each other to execute the Duke of Chu.
At this time, he resorted to another trick.
He used the bribed steward Zhang to cause trouble in the prison. Steward Zhang was a loyal servant of the Duke of Chu. When he caused trouble, the target of the trouble was naturally directed at the Duke of Chu, and he automatically put the Duke of Chu into the position of leader.
With the temperament of the Duke of Chu, he would not defend himself, so even if this incident was not his doing, it became his doing.
How could the courtiers stand up to the provocations one after another? Even with Qingyi's contribution, it was impossible to suppress the anger of the courtiers and the people being aroused again.
So the Duke of Chu must die.
Xiao Hua killed the Duke of Chu, how could he still grow old hand in hand with Qing Yi?
Ling Yun stared at Qing Yi silently: "Mother, your Majesty...he tried his best."
Qing Yi nodded, "Thank you, Master Ling."
Ling Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and his heart ached for Xiao Hua.
He witnessed with his own eyes how much Xiao Hua suffered for this woman. Was it still in vain in the end?
The sparks on the table exploded with a bang, and Qing Yi suddenly came back to his senses.
She didn't know when Ling Yun left, nor when the candle on the table was lit, nor what time it was.
When he raised his eyes, he realized that the food on the table was already cold.
I felt cold all over my body. I looked up and looked out the window. It was pitch black outside. I didn’t know what time it was.
Qiao Yun, who was waiting carefully outside the door, saw her move and came in cautiously, "Mother, please go ask the kitchen to bring some more food."
"No need." Qing Yi stood up and walked out the door. He saw that the horizon in the distance was brightly illuminated by the fire wind. He turned around and saw Hou in the corner, like an invisible Mu Ze. "Why are you here?" Xiao Hua usually said Mu Ze was the only one left to serve. He was not with Xiao Hua at this moment, but what was he doing here with her?
Mu Ze held the fly whisk, stepped forward, bent down and said, "The emperor said that perhaps the queen may need someone to help her, so he asked the servant to wait aside and listen to the queen's orders at any time."
Qing Yi smiled slightly. He was probably very anxious at this moment, but he still had the thought to look after her. "Where is Xiao Hua?"
Mu Ze was already used to her calling him the emperor by his first and last name, so he said truthfully: "The emperor will be executed at the head of the palace city."
Qing Yi's head felt dizzy, her feet softened, and her body leaned to one side.
"Empress." Muze and Qiaoyun hurriedly supported her from left to right.
Qing Yi calmed down, "Which palace city head?"
Mu Ze said: "Xicheng."
Qing Yi took a deep breath, her cheeks were frighteningly white, but her expression had regained her composure. She pushed away Mu Ze and Qiao Yun who were supporting her and rushed towards the West City.
