Chapter 421: Spread some news

Taifu Lu felt that this matter was not simple. He also had some eyes and ears in the East Palace. After leaving Zhanyue Residence, he sent someone to inquire about it.

The news that could be spread in the East Palace was naturally based on Leng Xiao's wishes. Taifu Lu found out that Princess Qing was locked up.

Moreover, he even found out that Aunt Bao, who was in charge of catering, had been arrested, and that Aunt Bao exclusively provided meals for Zhan Yue Ju, so Ape accidentally said that the Crown Princess had a poor appetite due to pregnancy and liked to eat light meals. , so her meals are all served in Zhanyueju’s small kitchen.

In other words, the princess did not eat the food sent from the dining room, but the prince did, so the prince was the one who got into trouble.

Princess Qing originally wanted to harm the Crown Princess, but ended up harming His Highness. Fortunately, the Emperor's grandson dined at Mr. Wudao's place, otherwise the Emperor's grandson would have suffered as well.

Taifu Lu was already angry with Princess Qing. If she hadn't forced Zhi Lan, the Lu family would not have had a legitimate daughter as a concubine. This shame would never be forgotten by Taifu Lu, so after investigating the general truth, the officials from the East Palace asked him, He didn't hide anything, and told everything based on the information he had inquired about. As for their final deduction, it was probably close to what he had guessed.

The news spread like wildfire, and most officials in the court knew that the Qing Princess failed in her attempt to kill the Crown Princess and instead killed the Crown Prince.

The news quickly spread to the army. Nangong Yitian has been in frequent contact with the army recently. The prince's wisdom, loyalty and bravery are deeply rooted in the hearts of the army. Even the veterans who used to protect Concubine Hui and Princess Qing think that Princess Qing has done a real job this time. It is an unpardonable sin.

However, there is no news about the disposal of Princess Qing in the palace. It can be understood that such royal secrets cannot be disclosed to the public. I am afraid that it was handled secretly. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread it out? Even the dignity of the royal family was gone.

The emperor was also very angry. He did not expect that Nangong Qinglan would dare to make trouble at this time.

He knew that this matter may not be that simple. Since the people in Mu Ci Palace were interrogated, it proved that the matter had a certain relationship with Mu Ci Palace. But when he heard Eunuch Qing say that the Queen Mother was very angry, he guessed that Nangong Qinglan was acting in disguise. , disobeying the Queen Mother’s orders.

There was a hint of disgust in the emperor's brows, and he asked Eunuch Qing solemnly, "Where is she now?"

"The Empress Dowager asked her to go back to the East Palace again." Eunuch Qing said.

"The Empress Dowager asked her to go back again?" The emperor frowned, but then he figured it out. The Empress Dowager had her own intentions in doing things, but she would not always use someone who disobeyed orders. She wanted to borrow Leng Xiao's help. He wanted to deal with Nangong Qinglan, so he let her return to the East Palace.

Thinking of the past relationship between father and daughter, I feel a little reluctant to let go, but thinking of what Concubine Hui said before she died, I feel sick and disgusted. Both mother and daughter are actors, taking advantage of his emotions and playing with him in the palm of their hands.

There was another thing that concerned him more, and he ordered Duke Qing to be fair: "If the prince is okay, you should pay more attention to the East Palace. When the imperial doctor diagnoses the princess's pulse every day, you'd better rush over and check on the prince. Is the concubine pregnant with twins?"

Eunuch Qing said with a smile: "Why did the emperor let the queen go? This old slave is someone close to you. If you go to the East Palace all day long, it seems like you don't trust the prince."

The emperor thought about it and made sense, and said: "The queen is almost recovering from her illness. Go and tell me that she should go to the East Palace every day to urge the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse."

"Yes, I'll go right away, old slave." Qinggong announced and retreated.

The emperor looked at Eunuch Qing's back and felt very complicated in his heart. However, thinking about cutting himself off from that stupid and humiliating incident in the future, he also felt extremely relaxed. Leng Xiaoxia was able to do this. She has always been a ruthless person.
