Chapter 461 The Princess's Sorrow (2)
"Mother, please help me." Xiao Qianye pulled the princess and begged, "Mother, you believe in the child. The death of the father and the emperor and grandfather really have nothing to do with the child. No matter how much the child wants the throne, he will definitely not dare to do such a crazy thing."
The Crown Princess touched her son's face with tears and closed her eyes in pain. Her son understood that if Xiao Qianye would commit murder of his grandfather and father for the throne, the Crown Princess herself would not believe it. The reason for asking that was just because what she thought of made her frightened, she just started to cheat him.
"Where can we do this now... what else can we do?" the Crown Princess whispered.
Xiao Qianye held the hand of the princess and said anxiously: "Mother, the child will definitely avenge his father and the emperor and grandfather. I just want you... to give the child some time. There is also the palace..."
The Crown Princess sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, you don't have to worry about the matter in the harem. The mother knows what to do. It's just the matter in the court. Qianye... The mother doesn't understand these things, and she doesn't know how to help you, so you must do it yourself." Xiao Qianye breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily and said, "Son knows, thank you for your mother's teachings."
After saying this for a while, the Crown Princess seemed to have been exhausted all her energy, and the fatigue between her eyebrows was obvious. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. The Crown Princess said lightly: "Forget it, Mother is a little tired. Go back and rest first. You can also have a good rest. Thank you for your hard work these days."
"My son sent his mother back." Xiao Qianye hurriedly said.
The Crown Princess waved her hand and refused Xiao Qianye's escort, turned around and left the study door. She walked outside the hall and looked up at the gray sky. A teardrop fell from the corner of the Crown Princess' eyes.
There are many falsehoods in Xiao Qianye's words, and the Crown Princess is not unaware of it. But the matter has reached this point. No matter what role Xiao Qianye plays in the death of the prince and the late emperor, as a mother, she can only choose to protect her son. Father, son and brothers are jealous of each other, this is the royal family affection.
Watching the Crown Princess leave, the expression on Xiao Qianye's face gradually sinks.
"Come!" An eunuch who seemed to be in his twenties walked in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Qianye said in a deep voice: "Please ask someone to check it out, who has the mother seen?"
"Yes, your Majesty."
In less than two quarters of an hour, the eunuch who was pushed out went back and whispered: "Report to Your Majesty, in the past two days... the only concubines that the Empress Dowager has seen is... the Concubine Lin from Yong'an Palace."
"Concubine Lin?" Xiao Qianye frowned. As the grandson who was loved by the late emperor, Xiao Qianye naturally met Concubine Lin. But I remember that since the 19th prince died, this concubine has not been interested in anything and is usually treated indifferently. How could she meet her mother?
Thinking of this, a trace of murderous aura flashed through Xiao Qianye's eyes. Could it be that Concubine Lin really said something to her mother? Could it be that she knew something? But... even if she knew that the death of the emperor and grandfather was related to Xiao Chun, how did she know him?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Qianye stood up and said, "Go to Yong'an Palace."
The eunuch next to him was stunned and quickly stopped Xiao Qianye and said, "Your Majesty think twice."
Xiao Qianye raised his eyebrows, and the eunuch hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, Concubine Tai is the concubine of the late emperor. According to the rules... Your Majesty cannot see him." The young emperor cannot see concubines under the age of fifty. This is the rule of all dynasties. After all, there are few concubines in the palace who are not good-looking. If they get along for a long time, the young emperor cannot control it for a while, and it will inevitably cause some scandal to slander the royal family.
Xiao Qianye didn't know this rule, but just didn't remember it for a while. After being reminded by the eunuch, he slowly sat down again. He rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches. Princess Yuan is pregnant now and should not work hard. Other concubines are useless, and for a while, she didn't know what to do.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Regent... the Regent has gone to Yong'an Palace."
Outside the door, an eunuch hurried in and reported. Although most of the guards in the palace are in the hands of Xiao Chun, Xiao Qianye is the new emperor, and there are people left by the late emperor and the prince, as well as Xiao Qianye’s own secret connections. Xiao Chun cannot always send the guards to follow Xiao Qianye. Now Xiao Qianye has a considerable force in the palace.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianye suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Xiao Chun, what do he want to do?" If Xiao Qianye saw that the concubine of the late emperor did not conform to the rules, then Xiao Chun would be even more unruly. Now Xiao Chun quietly informed the new emperor and the queen mother and broke into the palace of the late emperor's concubine without saying a word. After the face of Xiao Qianye, the new emperor, was not good.
The eunuch who was serving around him hesitated for a moment and said, "We can all find out about the matter of the noble concubine looking for the queen mother, but I am afraid... the regent can't hide it anymore." With Xiao Chun's power in the palace, he might have already known what Concubine Lin said to the crown princess.
Xiao Qianye snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Go and take a look!"
He didn't care about the rules or irregularity, Xiao Qianye was eager to know what Concubine Lin knew, at least he could not let someone fall into Xiao Chun's hands.
When Xiao Qianye and his party felt that there was a lot of noise inside when they felt that there was noisy inside. Before Xiao Qianye stepped into the gate, he heard Concubine Lin’s cold and angry voice coming from inside, “Your Majesty is gone, what’s wrong with the death of this palace?!”
Xiao Qianye was shocked and quickly walked in. In the hall, Xiao Chun sat in the first seat and stared at Concubine Lin with a cold expression. Concubine Lin fell to the ground, with a pale face and stared at Xiao Chun with hatred. Next to Concubine Lin, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt all over the ground.
"Uncle Emperor, what's wrong?" Xiao Qianye stepped into the hall and glanced at everyone and asked calmly.
Xiao Chun raised his eyebrows, "Why is Your Majesty here?"
Xiao Qianye stared at Xiao Chun and said lightly: "The emperor is here, how dare Qianye not come?" Xiao Chun looked at Xiao Qianye and said with a smile: "Why do you think that Your Majesty has something to say?"
Xiao Qianye snorted coldly and said a little rudely: "Uncle, you are not allowed to enter the important places of the inner palace. If the emperor enters and exits the harem casually, it will be a bad reputation for you if it is spread."
Xiao Chun laughed and said, "Your Majesty is too worried. The old minister is so old that he can see everything. He is still worried about his reputation."
