At the beginning of the Chen hour, the side door of the Meridian Gate slowly opened. The old eunuch walked to the door and said aloud: Go to court!
The noise stopped immediately, and all civil and military officials entered the side door in an orderly manner, with civil and military officials on the left and military officials on the right, clearly distinguishing.
After entering the Meridian Gate, you will enter the hall with a fourth or above, and you will be at the entrance of the hall with a fourth or below, and you will be at the square.
The ministers entered the hall and waited for a quarter of an hour. Emperor Jing of Yuan came late.
Clusters of eyes fell on the king of a country, trying to see clues from his eyes and expressions.
None of them failed. Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty reigned for 37 years, with deep scheming and rich experience, and very few people in the temple could compete with him.
It is only Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu.
This court meeting is no different from the past, and the monarch and ministers will follow suit as usual.
Your Majesty, Chuzhou has frozen tens of thousands of people to death in the middle of winter. In order to help the disaster victims, the government and the government have already reported the money and food.I beg your Majesty to draft an order and ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds...
The national treasury is empty, and disaster relief can be raised from local gentry... Emperor Jing of Yuan replied.
Your Majesty, the northern barbarians repeatedly invaded the border. After the beginning of spring, the border conflict became more and more intense, and we had to guard against Ah.
Your Majesty, the King of Zhenbei ignored the barbarians plundering the border, defended the border city without sending a soldier, causing the people on the border to be displaced and suffered heavy casualties. Please give up the crime.
Hearing this, Emperor Jing of Yuan looked at Wei Yuan without any joy or anger: Wei Aiqing, what is the situation of the northern barbarians.
Wei Yuan frowned and said: At the end of last year, it was snowing heavily in the north for several months, and countless animals were frozen to death. I expected that the barbarians would go south to rob.
Emperor Jing of Yuan suddenly remembered that there was something happening and frowned and said: What about the follow-up?The barbarians went south to invade the border, so why didn’t they receive the news in advance when they beat Gengren?
It was my negligence.Wei Yuan said.
In fact, he took back the secret from the north and transferred it to the northeast.
Emperor Jing of Yuan said lightly: The northern barbarians went south to invade, and Wei Yuan had a mistake in observing the position of Zuodu Censor.One year's salary fine.
The hall was quiet for a moment, and dense question marks floated in the minds of the ministers.
Although the attacker has the responsibility of spying on intelligence, it is a by-product.
Furthermore, the northern barbarians went south to invade, and the King of Zhenbei could not defend and did not fight. Even if they knew in advance that the barbarians were going to invade the border, what's the point?
Why can't this bet be thrown over Wei Yuan's head?
However, it was rare that Emperor Jing of Yuan turned the artillery fire to Wei Yuan. Although he was confused, the civil servants immediately seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to attack Wei Yuan, calling the emperor wise.
A censor came out and emphasized: Your Majesty, the King of Zhenbei is sitting on the verge of war and is indifferent, so he asks you to surrender your crime.
Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty responded in four words: I understand.
The censor refused to give in.
The court meeting gradually came to an end. After dealing with the backlog of government affairs during this period, after the ministers stopped submitting the memorial, Emperor Jing of Yuan raised his index finger and tapped the table lightly.
The old eunuch in a python robe came out and looked around the ministers.
Here comes... the hearts of the palace are moved.
All of them were normal just now. Although it was surprising that he removed Wei Yuan from the position of Zuodu Censor, Emperor Jing of Yuan suddenly held a court meeting, which was definitely not because of this small matter.
The old eunuch opened the edict in his hand and said loudly: I have found out the whole story of the Fufei case. Empress Shangguan instructed the palace maid Huang Xiaorou to kill Fufei and frame the prince...
After my various questions were made, Shangguan confessed his crimes, the queen was out of order, and she was not worthy of her position, and she could not bear the will of heaven.The seal and ribbon on it were removed from the Changchun Palace.
Changchun Palace is the cold palace.
There was a dead silence inside and outside the hall.
From the first rank and the third duke to the ministers outside the hall, everyone who heard the content of the edict was stunned.
In the silence, a low voice sounded:
Your Majesty, this matter is not possible.
Emperor Jing of Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the blue clothes out of the line without expression.
Wei Yuan's temples were gray, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of washing away the years, and he looked at Emperor Jing of Yuan.
I don’t know how long it took, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple took the list at the same time and said loudly: Your Majesty, the case of Fu Concubine Fu cannot be easily concluded without the trial of the Three Departments.
Emperor Jing of Yuan said word by word: This is my family matter.
The new Minister of Rites snatched out, bowed, and said loudly: Your Majesty, abolishing the queen is also a major national event, so you should not be hasty.You also ask Your Majesty to hand over the Fu Concubine case to the Third Department for review before making a decision.
Although the edict stated that the queen had pleaded guilty.However, the deposed queen is of great importance. The Dukes would not agree to Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty to abolish the empress without knowing the situation.
Can!
……
In the early morning, after Xu Xinnian finished washing up, he went to the back hall to enjoy breakfast. From a distance, he saw Xu Lingyin wearing a small skirt sitting on the steps outside the hall, puffing his cheeks angrily.
The small figure looks lonely, but it's so pity.
Ringyin, why are you sitting here?Xu Xinnian asked.
Xu Lingyin looked up and ignored him.
The second brother is asking you what you are talking about.Xu Xinnian frowned.
My mother drove me out and beat me.Xu Lingyin complained, can my second brother help me scold me?
Xu Xinnian shook her head.
Xiao Douding had indeed had such an expression on his face, and frowned and said: It would be great if he was at home. He liked to bully his mother the most.
Xu Xinnian entered the hall and sat in a familiar seat. When Lu'e served him a bowl of porridge, she said while eating: Mom, is Lingyin angry again?
No, it was your elder brother who made me angry.Aunt said coldly.
The elder brother hasn't come back...
The aunt sneered: This is your elder brother's ability. If you are not here, you can still anger me to death.
Xu Xinnian glanced at her sister and father who were drinking porridge with her head down, and asked: What's going on.
Xu Lingyue whispered: Lingyin ate buns today, and spit out a bite, saying that she could eat them all her life.
...What the elder brother taught?Xu Xinnian's mouth twitched.
Xu Lingyue nodded.
Uncle Xu Er added: After spitting out the Lingyin, I felt a pity and wanted to pick it up and eat it, but your mother beat me up.
Xu Xinnian:...
He looked down at the table and realized that he had indeed vomited some chewed buns.
My brother didn't go home today.Xu Lingyue said depressedly.
Xu Erlang and Xu Pingzhi said tacitly: You must be in the Jiafangsi.
……
Xu Qi'an woke up in the wing room of the backyard of the yamen. The huge yard was quiet, with only an old official hunched over and sweeping the floor in the yard.
How long has the quilt been washed? It smells strange and the public dormitory is garbage.
He lifted the quilt with disgust, got out of bed with a slight pace, pushed open the window, and let the sunlight shine in.
This is the public dormitory of the Dagenren Yamen, which is for the officials on duty at night and the Dagenren people to rest.Except for Jinluo, which has exclusive rooms, the rest of the rooms are shared.
The hygiene condition is very bad, and I don’t know how many descendants of people are buried in the thick quilt.
Thanks to the spiritual medicine of Si Tianjian and his strong body, the penetration injury on his left shoulder has already scabbed and will be healed in two days.
However, the energy of the overdrawn sword of the heaven and earth has not yet recovered, and it is as tired as a leaf and seven thorns, and its body has been hollowed out.
Xu Qi'an poured a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth, went to the yard to make a bucket of cold and clear well water, and after washing his face, he went to Chunfengtang.
Huh, comfortable...
After eating the big meal delivered by the official, Xu Qi'an touched his bloated belly and lay satisfied on Li Yuchun's chair with his feet on the desk.
At this time, he had time to think about the assassination incident last night.
Usually I left the palace on time at the first moment in Shen Shichu. Yesterday, because I checked the list of entry and exit from the Imperial Pharmacy, I left the palace only after You hour.
The assassins who ambushed me knew that my route was not surprising. I walked that path every day, but how could they pinch their time so accurately?
The assassin often looked at the roof, so the three assassins could not have been waiting for me on the roof, otherwise they would have been discovered by the night patrolman.
It was obvious that they knew when I left the palace... The main messenger behind the scenes was most likely the one in the palace, otherwise it would be impossible to explain this.
Is it the queen?I just found clues that were unfavorable to her yesterday, and she turned around and sent someone to assassinate me... Do you don't want me to continue investigating it?
If it was really the queen, then Huaiqing and I would have to divorce.
Xu Qi'an pinched his eyebrows.
At this time, a black-clad official entered Chunfeng Hall and saw Xu Qi'an in the hall, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: I just went to the backyard to look for Lord Xu, but I didn't find anyone. I thought you had left the yamen.
Xu Qian still put his legs on the table, squinted his eyes. He would not go to the palace to investigate the case today. I will talk about it when he recovered from his injuries.
The official nodded and said: Mr. Wei is looking for you, please go to Haoqi Tower first.
Ha, it seems that Wei Yuan knew about the assassination yesterday. He must be stunned by my record... Xu Qi'an put down his legs, stood up from the chair, and led the way.
As the officials arrived at Haoqi Tower, they were familiar with the seventh floor of the road. Unexpectedly, in addition to Wei Yuan, there were two unexpected guests in the tea room.
The eldest princess Huaiqing, who is as simple and noble as a snow lotus; the handsome and restrained son of Emperor Jing of Yuan.
As Huaiqing's brother, the fourth prince's facial features are not similar to his sister, but they are somewhat similar to Emperor Jing of Yuan.
Huaiqing is somewhat similar to the queen, but the temperament of the mother and daughter are too different, so the slightest similarity is hard to tell.
The three of them looked extremely ugly. Wei Yuan held the teacup in his hand and lowered his head without saying a word, as if he had not noticed Xu Qi'an's arrival.When the fourth prince heard the sound, he nodded slightly at him.
Huaiqing also didn't look at Xu Qi'an and frowned and pondered.
Duke Wei.Xu Qi'an clasped his fists.
Wei Yuan then raised his head, pointed to the seat beside Huaiqing, and said gently: Let's sit down.
Xu Qi'an took his seat.
Assassinated last night?Wei Yuan pushed the teapot to Xu Qi'an and signaled him to pour tea himself.
Just now, Xu Qi'an poured a cup of tea, but did not drink it. He nodded and said: The messenger behind the scenes is related to the case of Fufei, and he is in the palace.
Do you suspect it is the queen?
Wei Yuan's words were too straightforward. Xu Qian didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he looked at Huai Qing carefully.
Huaiqing still didn't look at him, and he looked worried.
The eldest princess looks like a woman facing a divorce agreement... Xu Qi'an muttered in her heart.
Today, His Majesty proposed to depose the queen at the court meeting because the real murderer behind the Fufei case was the queen.Wei Yuan said.
？？？
Xu Qian looked at him blankly, and the first thought that emerged in his mind: How long have I been sleeping?
Why did I wake up and feel a little bit like a change of things, as if I had been sleeping for a century?
He investigated the case of Fufei himself, and every step and every clue were found by him.He was still not sure that the queen was the murderer. Why is Emperor Jing of Yuan?
He thought he was Conan or Di Renjie?
But then, Princess Huaiqing's words made Xu Qi'an confused again.
The mother admitted it.
What are you saying?
Xu Qian waved his hand, sorry, Bei Zhi wants to calm down...
He thought for a long time and tentatively said: Your Majesty wants to depose the queen because the real murderer behind the Fufei case is the queen, and did the queen really admit it?
The fourth prince nodded.
Could it be forced?Xu Qi'an guessed.
Won't.Wei Yuan shook his head, looked at him with vicissitudes of life, and said in a deep voice:
The Fufei case was investigated by you personally, and no one knows any clues or details better than you.Think about it carefully, are there any suspicious or unreasonable aspects?Today, the two of you came down from the yamen. In addition to discussing with me and abolishing the queen, you also have the intention of asking for help.
Your Majesty hasn't recovered your gold medal yet. You need time to confirm the matter and you still have time to investigate this case.
Huaiqing and the fourth prince looked at Xu Qi'an at the same time.
The fourth prince bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Xu."
Xu Qian ignored him and turned his eyes to Huai Qing.
His Royal Highness, who is as simple and noble as a lotus, looked at him carefully with his eyes like Qiushui. How was his injuries?
She did not propose anything, but was concerned about Xu Qi'an's injuries.
For the sake of your sincere confession, I will not divorce... Xu Qi'an said oh, Princess Xie is concerned, and the job is not hindered.
He paused and continued: In the Fufei case, the queen did have sufficient motives and reasons to frame the prince.And based on the clues I found out yesterday, the real murderer behind the scenes did point to the queen.
The fourth prince interrupted excitedly: It’s impossible, the queen mother would not do such a thing.
Your Highness, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet.Xu Qi'an looked at Huai Qing and asked: What evidence does Your Majesty have?
Huaiqing shook his head: No, it was the queen who admitted it herself.
Xu Qi'an frowned: This is strange. If Your Majesty has no evidence, why would the queen admit it?Since the queen admitted it, why did she send someone to assassinate me?
This is a paradox.
The fourth prince sighed and said: I am here to find you because I don’t know.Lord Xu, you have repeatedly solved strange cases. If anyone in the capital can find out the truth in a short time and restore the innocence of his mother, then you will be the only one.
Xu Qi'an drank the first sip of tea after taking the seat and said slowly: When I first started taking over the case, I felt that the Fufei case had only two possibilities: First, the prince was indeed indiscriminate after drinking and killed Fufei.
2. Someone framed the prince and planned to seize the position of the Eastern Palace.
After inspecting the Qingfeng Palace of Concubine Fu, I can conclude that the prince was indeed wronged.Then this case is the second possibility, and some people want to frame the prince.
Following this idea, all the clues pointed to the Queen.I confessed to the two His Highnesses that just now, I was also suspicious of the Queen, suspected that she sent an assassin to assassin me.
But when I learned that the queen admitted that she was the real murderer behind the scenes, I suddenly became suspicious of the case.Then the purpose of the messenger behind the scenes is not as simple as framed by the prince, but killing two birds with one stone.
But I have a question: The queen is in silence and the fourth prince is not the prince. Why did the envoy behind the scenes point the finger at the queen? What is the picture?It can't be the position of the lord of the harem.
There is an emperor who has been ascetic for more than ten years. Is the throne of the lord of the harem meaningful?
Wei Yuan put down the teacup and sighed: First of all, the Fourth Prince, regardless of whether he is the crown prince or not, is His Majesty's eldest son.Secondly, the messenger behind the scenes came to me.
???Xu Qian looked at him blankly.
Wei Yuan was silent for a moment and explained: The Wei family and the Shangguan family are family friends, and the queen's surname is Shangguan.
In this way, in other words, Wei Yuan and the Queen are political allies and belong to the queen's relatives... No wonder Princess Huaiqing is half of Wei Yuan's apprentice... So the case of Fu Fei is on the surface to frame the prince, but in fact it is targeting Wei Yuan?
Wei Yuan undoubtedly belongs to the Fourth Prince's Party... A case of Fufei was a great deal to deal with the prince's party and the Fourth Prince's Party at the same time... Xu Qi'an was secretly shocked.
At the court meeting today, the father removed the position of Zuodu Censor of Duke Wei.Princess Huaiqing said.
Hey, this is unreasonable... Even if the mastermind wants to weaken Wei Yuan by overthrowing the emperor, it will only damage Wei Yuan's ally and weaken his power in disguise.
Why did Emperor Jing of Yuan immediately dismiss Wei Yuan's important identity as soon as the queen had an accident, and it seemed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Emperor Jing of Yuan... Wait, let's assume that the queen was the mastermind behind the frame-up of the crown prince, and the intention was to support the fourth prince to become the crown prince.
After Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty learned about this, he immediately weakened and beat Wei Yuan... What does this mean?
This shows that Emperor Jing of Yuan was very afraid of Wei Yuan.
Xu Qi'an suddenly understood why Emperor Jing of Yuan chose to make the prince born in vain as the crown prince, rather than the fourth prince born in the queen.
The Queen and Wei Yuan are political alliances. If the Fourth Prince was appointed as the crown prince, if it were me, I would be unable to sleep or eat.
Retracting his divergent thoughts, Xu Qi'an put his mind on the case and sorted out the Fufei case in his heart.
As Xu Qi'an fell into thinking, the tea room became silent, and there were only the sound of the four people breathing gently.
The prince finished drinking from Concubine Chen, and met Huang Xiaorou on the way back, and was invited to Concubine Fu's Qingfeng Hall... The prince did have bad thoughts about this father's woman at that time.
Concubine Fu then fell from the building and died. The prince became a suspect and was detained in Dali Temple.
I found out that Concubine Fu was killed and the prince was framed, the next day, Huang Xiaorou's body was found in the crab pavilion... It was so coincidental, so coincidental.
No wonder I thought something was wrong at the time. Huang Xiaorou was silenced rather than committing suicide. So why did the perpetrator choose the Crab Pavilion?
If you kill someone to silence your mouth, it is better to bury it secretly than to throw a corpse in a well.To take a step back, there are at least dozens or even hundreds of water wells in the deep palace, but they choose a densely populated crab pavilion that is easy to be discovered.
This is just intentional, deliberately allowing us to discover the relationship between Huang Xiaorou and the queen.
My initial guess was wrong?Huang Xiaorou is not the murderer who killed Concubine Fu. She is just a prop, let’s lock the object of suspicion to the queen?
No, it was Huang Xiaorou who deceived the prince to go to Qingfeng Palace. The prince would lie, but the guards around him would not lie.This is too easy to identify.Moreover, she was able to arrange the scene and destroy the guardrails secretly. She also knew that Concubine Fu was a habit and knew that she wanted to be kind to her fake husband. All of this must be a close-fitting palace maid.
If all this wasn't done by the Queen, why would she admit it?Maybe there was some reason that made her have to admit it.
What is the queen afraid of?This must be related to this case. The three main people involved in the case are Concubine Fu, the Crown Prince and the Palace Maid Huang Xiaorou.
Among the three, the only one who has connections with the queen is Huang Xiaorou...
Huang Xiaorou?!
All kinds of chaotic thoughts and speculations flashed through my heart. Xu Qi'an combined the clues he obtained and gradually pondered the case.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian suddenly realized something and took out a piece of yellow silk cloth with a dim color from his arms.
There are bright red lotus embroidered on it, and a line of words: Spring of the 31st year of Yuanjing.
Princess Huaiqing stared at the yellow silk cloth and said: This is from the palace maid Huang Xiaorou.
right!Xu Qi'an nodded, looked around the three of them, and finally fell on Huaiqing and said in a deep voice: Your Highness, we only know that the queen saved Huang Xiaorou, but there are two suspicious points. I wonder if you have noticed it.
Huaiqing shook his head.
First, why did the queen save Huang Xiaorou?
The mother has always been kind-hearted and it is not surprising that she spends magic medicine to save a palace maid.Huaiqing said.
The queen may be a good person, but this is not the point... Xu Qi'an shook his head and said: Then why should the queen pay attention to a palace maid?He'er from Fengqi Palace was also sent to stare at her?
This palace asked about the queen, but she would not say anything.Huaiqing frowned.
Second, why did the palace maid Huang Xiaorou commit suicide?Xu Qi'an pointed at the yellow silk cloth and said in a deep voice: The answer is here.
The noise stopped immediately, and all civil and military officials entered the side door in an orderly manner, with civil and military officials on the left and military officials on the right, clearly distinguishing.
After entering the Meridian Gate, you will enter the hall with a fourth or above, and you will be at the entrance of the hall with a fourth or below, and you will be at the square.

Duke Wei.Xu Qi'an clasped his fists.
Wei Yuan then raised his head, pointed to the seat beside Huaiqing, and said gently: Let's sit down.
Xu Qi'an took his seat.
Assassinated last night?Wei Yuan pushed the teapot to Xu Qi'an and signaled him to pour tea himself.
Just now, Xu Qi'an poured a cup of tea, but did not drink it. He nodded and said: The messenger behind the scenes is related to the case of Fufei, and he is in the palace.
Do you suspect it is the queen?
Wei Yuan's words were too straightforward. Xu Qian didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he looked at Huai Qing carefully.
Huaiqing still didn't look at him, and he looked worried.
The eldest princess looks like a woman facing a divorce agreement... Xu Qi'an muttered in her heart.
Today, His Majesty proposed to depose the queen at the court meeting because the real murderer behind the Fufei case was the queen.Wei Yuan said.
？？？
Xu Qian looked at him blankly, and the first thought that emerged in his mind: How long have I been sleeping?
Why did I wake up and feel a little bit like a change of things, as if I had been sleeping for a century?
He investigated the case of Fufei himself, and every step and every clue were found by him.He was still not sure that the queen was the murderer. Why is Emperor Jing of Yuan?
He thought he was Conan or Di Renjie?
But then, Princess Huaiqing's words made Xu Qi'an confused again.
The mother admitted it.
What are you saying?
Xu Qian waved his hand, sorry, Bei Zhi wants to calm down...
He thought for a long time and tentatively said: Your Majesty wants to depose the queen because the real murderer behind the Fufei case is the queen, and did the queen really admit it?
The fourth prince nodded.
Could it be forced?Xu Qi'an guessed.
Won't.Wei Yuan shook his head, looked at him with vicissitudes of life, and said in a deep voice:
The Fufei case was investigated by you personally, and no one knows any clues or details better than you.Think about it carefully, are there any suspicious or unreasonable aspects?Today, the two of you came down from the yamen. In addition to discussing with me and abolishing the queen, you also have the intention of asking for help.
Your Majesty hasn't recovered your gold medal yet. You need time to confirm the matter and you still have time to investigate this case.
Huaiqing and the fourth prince looked at Xu Qi'an at the same time.
The fourth prince bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Xu."
Xu Qian ignored him and turned his eyes to Huai Qing.
His Royal Highness, who is as simple and noble as a lotus, looked at him carefully with his eyes like Qiushui. How was his injuries?
She did not propose anything, but was concerned about Xu Qi'an's injuries.
For the sake of your sincere confession, I will not divorce... Xu Qi'an said oh, Princess Xie is concerned, and the job is not hindered.
He paused and continued: In the Fufei case, the queen did have sufficient motives and reasons to frame the prince.And based on the clues I found out yesterday, the real murderer behind the scenes did point to the queen.
The fourth prince interrupted excitedly: It’s impossible, the queen mother would not do such a thing.
Your Highness, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet.Xu Qi'an looked at Huai Qing and asked: What evidence does Your Majesty have?
Huaiqing shook his head: No, it was the queen who admitted it herself.
Xu Qi'an frowned: This is strange. If Your Majesty has no evidence, why would the queen admit it?Since the queen admitted it, why did she send someone to assassinate me?
This is a paradox.
The fourth prince sighed and said: I am here to find you because I don’t know.Lord Xu, you have repeatedly solved strange cases. If anyone in the capital can find out the truth in a short time and restore the innocence of his mother, then you will be the only one.
Xu Qi'an drank the first sip of tea after taking the seat and said slowly: When I first started taking over the case, I felt that the Fufei case had only two possibilities: First, the prince was indeed indiscriminate after drinking and killed Fufei.
2. Someone framed the prince and planned to seize the position of the Eastern Palace.
After inspecting the Qingfeng Palace of Concubine Fu, I can conclude that the prince was indeed wronged.Then this case is the second possibility, and some people want to frame the prince.
Following this idea, all the clues pointed to the Queen.I confessed to the two His Highnesses that just now, I was also suspicious of the Queen, suspected that she sent an assassin to assassin me.
But when I learned that the queen admitted that she was the real murderer behind the scenes, I suddenly became suspicious of the case.Then the purpose of the messenger behind the scenes is not as simple as framed by the prince, but killing two birds with one stone.
But I have a question: The queen is in silence and the fourth prince is not the prince. Why did the envoy behind the scenes point the finger at the queen? What is the picture?It can't be the position of the lord of the harem.
There is an emperor who has been ascetic for more than ten years. Is the throne of the lord of the harem meaningful?
Wei Yuan put down the teacup and sighed: First of all, the Fourth Prince, regardless of whether he is the crown prince or not, is His Majesty's eldest son.Secondly, the messenger behind the scenes came to me.
???Xu Qian looked at him blankly.
Wei Yuan was silent for a moment and explained: The Wei family and the Shangguan family are family friends, and the queen's surname is Shangguan.
In this way, in other words, Wei Yuan and the Queen are political allies and belong to the queen's relatives... No wonder Princess Huaiqing is half of Wei Yuan's apprentice... So the case of Fu Fei is on the surface to frame the prince, but in fact it is targeting Wei Yuan?
Wei Yuan undoubtedly belongs to the Fourth Prince's Party... A case of Fufei was a great deal to deal with the prince's party and the Fourth Prince's Party at the same time... Xu Qi'an was secretly shocked.
At the court meeting today, the father removed the position of Zuodu Censor of Duke Wei.Princess Huaiqing said.
Hey, this is unreasonable... Even if the mastermind wants to weaken Wei Yuan by overthrowing the emperor, it will only damage Wei Yuan's ally and weaken his power in disguise.
Why did Emperor Jing of Yuan immediately dismiss Wei Yuan's important identity as soon as the queen had an accident, and it seemed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Emperor Jing of Yuan... Wait, let's assume that the queen was the mastermind behind the frame-up of the crown prince, and the intention was to support the fourth prince to become the crown prince.
After Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty learned about this, he immediately weakened and beat Wei Yuan... What does this mean?
This shows that Emperor Jing of Yuan was very afraid of Wei Yuan.
Xu Qi'an suddenly understood why Emperor Jing of Yuan chose to make the prince born in vain as the crown prince, rather than the fourth prince born in the queen.
The Queen and Wei Yuan are political alliances. If the Fourth Prince was appointed as the crown prince, if it were me, I would be unable to sleep or eat.
Retracting his divergent thoughts, Xu Qi'an put his mind on the case and sorted out the Fufei case in his heart.
As Xu Qi'an fell into thinking, the tea room became silent, and there were only the sound of the four people breathing gently.
The prince finished drinking from Concubine Chen, and met Huang Xiaorou on the way back, and was invited to Concubine Fu's Qingfeng Hall... The prince did have bad thoughts about this father's woman at that time.
Concubine Fu then fell from the building and died. The prince became a suspect and was detained in Dali Temple.
I found out that Concubine Fu was killed and the prince was framed, the next day, Huang Xiaorou's body was found in the crab pavilion... It was so coincidental, so coincidental.
No wonder I thought something was wrong at the time. Huang Xiaorou was silenced rather than committing suicide. So why did the perpetrator choose the Crab Pavilion?
If you kill someone to silence your mouth, it is better to bury it secretly than to throw a corpse in a well.To take a step back, there are at least dozens or even hundreds of water wells in the deep palace, but they choose a densely populated crab pavilion that is easy to be discovered.
This is just intentional, deliberately allowing us to discover the relationship between Huang Xiaorou and the queen.
My initial guess was wrong?Huang Xiaorou is not the murderer who killed Concubine Fu. She is just a prop, let’s lock the object of suspicion to the queen?
No, it was Huang Xiaorou who deceived the prince to go to Qingfeng Palace. The prince would lie, but the guards around him would not lie.This is too easy to identify.Moreover, she was able to arrange the scene and destroy the guardrails secretly. She also knew that Concubine Fu was a habit and knew that she wanted to be kind to her fake husband. All of this must be a close-fitting palace maid.
If all this wasn't done by the Queen, why would she admit it?Maybe there was some reason that made her have to admit it.
What is the queen afraid of?This must be related to this case. The three main people involved in the case are Concubine Fu, the Crown Prince and the Palace Maid Huang Xiaorou.
Among the three, the only one who has connections with the queen is Huang Xiaorou...
Huang Xiaorou?!
All kinds of chaotic thoughts and speculations flashed through my heart. Xu Qi'an combined the clues he obtained and gradually pondered the case.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian suddenly realized something and took out a piece of yellow silk cloth with a dim color from his arms.
There are bright red lotus embroidered on it, and a line of words: Spring of the 31st year of Yuanjing.
Princess Huaiqing stared at the yellow silk cloth and said: This is from the palace maid Huang Xiaorou.
right!Xu Qi'an nodded, looked around the three of them, and finally fell on Huaiqing and said in a deep voice: Your Highness, we only know that the queen saved Huang Xiaorou, but there are two suspicious points. I wonder if you have noticed it.
Huaiqing shook his head.
First, why did the queen save Huang Xiaorou?
The mother has always been kind-hearted and it is not surprising that she spends magic medicine to save a palace maid.Huaiqing said.
The queen may be a good person, but this is not the point... Xu Qi'an shook his head and said: Then why should the queen pay attention to a palace maid?He'er from Fengqi Palace was also sent to stare at her?
This palace asked about the queen, but she would not say anything.Huaiqing frowned.
Second, why did the palace maid Huang Xiaorou commit suicide?Xu Qi'an pointed at the yellow silk cloth and said in a deep voice: The answer is here.
