Sheng Yunzhao reached out to hold the pot and poured him a glass of water, and said quietly: "I heard Princess Yunzhou say that you committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
The corners of Yue Chenyan's lips curled up slightly, and he said with some mockery: "Half and half, maybe, the Queen Mother has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, and not counting those below her, there are more than a hundred people in charge of things.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was already rotten at its core. After I came back, I worked hard to penetrate it. The Queen Mother was alert, and she probably discovered the clues, and asked Duke Ji to withdraw in time.
She thought I would stop there, but Ji Guogong wanted to die, and by chance, I found all the evidence at this time..."
Sheng Yunzhao understood, "So, Duke Ji Guo wants to die instantly?"
"Yes, but that's not entirely true. He is just doing this to preserve the family. Otherwise, once he goes to jail, the Queen Mother will not keep him.
Because he knew very well that after he died, the Queen Mother would definitely take more care of the Ji family. And he also knew that even if he was lucky enough to come out of the prison unharmed, I would not let him go.
Instead of doing this, he naturally wants to die to maximize his benefits..."
Sheng Yunzhao was still thinking about how to settle the score with Ji Guogong, but he didn't expect Yue Chenyan to move so quickly.
Seeing the tiredness on his face and eyes, Sheng Yunzhao was about to say that he should go back and rest early after a tiring day, but then he changed the subject and said, "The former prince disappeared while in exile..."
This was also the news he mainly wanted to tell her when he came here tonight.
"Why are you missing again?" Sheng Yunzhao immediately smelled something unusual.
Yue Chenyan's slender fingers tapped on the table, "The disappearance of Jiang Wanyin's parents is not a big deal.
But the disappearance of the former prince is intriguing..."
Sheng Yunzhao only thought for a moment and understood, "You mean someone wants to use him for something?"
"Otherwise, for such a rotten person, if you don't take the opportunity to get rid of him, what will you do to save him? The only value is to use him as an excuse..." Yue Chenyan's lips were full of mockery, and then he looked at him with gleaming eyes. Looking at her, I didn't expect that this little girl could be so sharp.
Seeing that he was not worried, Sheng Yunzhao couldn't help but remind him: "But we have to be careful. Once any trouble occurs, innocent people will be hurt..."
"Of course... In addition, I want Feng Wu to come over and protect you. She has good skills and has never appeared in front of outsiders, so she won't make people suspicious.
In addition, if you can push for autumn hunting after half a month, then push it. But no matter what, if you have a few more people around you to protect you, I will feel more at ease..." Yue Chenyan said with a somewhat consultative tone.
This is also the main reason why he came here tonight.
She is now too heavy to be careless.
Sheng Yunzhao would not refuse.
At the same time, Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen in front of her with a gloomy expression, "Prince, no, it's the former Crown Prince, was he rescued by you?"
The queen looked sick and raised her head when she heard the words, "What do you mean by this, mother? If I had that ability, would I still need to ask you for help?"
The Queen Mother's old eyes were sharp. After looking at the Queen for a while, she felt that what she said made some sense, "Your son was about to arrive at the place of exile and was rescued by a group of people with unknown origins."
When she said this, the Queen Mother felt a little angry, and she was so bold. This was tantamount to provoking her.
However, she was careless and ignored this.
But who would have thought that someone would bother with such a useless waste?
However, someone kidnapped the person she thought was a waste.
The Queen was shocked when she heard this, "Abducted? Where is Jin Heng? Who abducted him?"
The Queen looked like she had lost all her energy before, but seeing the Queen look so nervous now, she became less suspicious of her, and her old eyes became more thoughtful.
If the queen hadn't rescued the person, then we would have had to pay more attention...
As soon as she returned to Kunning Palace, the queen dismissed all the palace residents, leaving only her confidant Aunt Xia.
The queen sat on the phoenix couch, stroking her pounding heart, her face getting paler.
Seeing that there was still fear in her eyes, Aunt Xia poured a cup of tea for her and brought it to her, "Mother, has the Queen Mother made things difficult for you again? Or has something happened?"
She stood guard outside, and the Queen Mother deliberately lowered her voice. She did not hear what was said inside.
The queen took the tea cup and drank it all in one breath, breathing heavily, trying to suppress the panic in her heart...
After a moment, she burst into laughter.
Smiling, she burst into tears.
Looking at the Queen like this, Grandma Xia felt distressed and shed tears.
She is the queen's nanny. It can be said that she has watched the queen grow up and has long regarded the queen as her own child.
The queen has not been happy a day since she entered the palace.
She was caught between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and no one knew the hardships involved.
"Mommy, I can do it too. I can also do things for myself that I wouldn't normally dare to do..." the queen said with a tearful smile.
"The Queen has never been a weak person." Aunt Xia knew that her Queen was in pain, and she had never cried, laughed or said anything so freely.
Because she didn't say anything, but she saw it all.
There was a hint of determination in the queen's eyes, "One of them is a grandmother and the other is a father, how can they be so cruel?
Now that my Jin Heng is gone, instead of saying they are worried about something happening to him, they act as if he is a disaster.
Hmph, they can be ruthless and disregard family affection, but as a mother, I can't bear to let my son fend for himself. He is my own flesh and blood who was pregnant with me in ten months.
Ever since he was born, she has wished that my son had no relationship with me. I understand that it is hard for her to bear it.
These days, I lay awake all night, tossing and turning, thinking about it, and finally figured it out. "
The queen said, tears welling up in her eyes, "Which child is not born with a clean sheet of paper? She seems to be arrogant and indulgent, but in fact she is planning to cultivate him into what she wants.
I am self-righteous and take it for granted that the poison of a tiger cannot eat its seeds, and the love of flesh and blood is as light as dust and as worthless as grass under this supreme imperial power.
Otherwise, how could they say they would exile him? But why don't they think about it? Jin Heng was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has never suffered at all since he was born.
What is the difference between banishing him and letting him die? As a mother, even if I am doomed, I still want to ensure that my son lives well..."
After hearing this, Aunt Xia was shocked. It took her a while to realize, "My Lady, does the Queen Mother know that it was you who rescued the Crown Prince?"
The queen smiled coldly, "She always thought that I was useless. She didn't expect me to be able to do such a big thing. It was just a suspicion. We have passed this level."
Grandma Xia put her mind at ease, put her hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
The queen turned around, took out the key, opened a red painted iron box, and took out a stack of silver notes.
Then, he handed it over to Grandma Xia, "Mammy will find time to give these banknotes to Prince Rui's people later, and tell Prince Rui that I only need him to ensure that Jin Heng has a worry-free life..."
