Very quickly, a letter written in Rui Wang's own handwriting was presented by Shu guifei in front of Qing De Emperor. Shu guifei knelt in front of Qing De Emperor and cried her eyes out. Even though she didn't defend Rui Wang, it was worth thousands of words.
Every word of the letter was filled with tears of blood. First, it was concerned about Qing De Emperor's health, then it talked about how much he missed the Emperor. But because he couldn't leave the fu, he could only kowtow in the direction of the Imperial Palace. Then it defended himself, saying that he was innocent and that someone must have wronged him. In the end, it asked Qing De Emperor to take care of his health and not harm his health because of his unfilial son.
Qing De Emperor looked at the dark red handwriting on the snow-white cloth and his heart had softened by half. After reading the entire letter, he sighed and helped Shu guifei up. He patted Shu guifei's hand and said: "Zhen knows lao san has been wronged. Zhen will have someone investigate this matter."
Understanding the Emperor's intentions, Shu guifei tearfully replied: "Thank you Emperor." Inside, she was slightly smug. A woman like Jing guifei, it didn't matter how much she schemed. As long as she was favored, no one would be able to shake her and her son's position.
At this time, in Zhong Jing Palace, Jing guifei looked coldly at Wei Qin shi who was crying in front of her. Logically, Wei Qin shi's husband came from the same branch as her, so she should be more courteous to her. But she really didn't like Wei Qin shi's pettiness. She looked intelligent but the words she said were so muddle-headed that even she felt uncomfortable listening to them.
"Ran Shuang has been sick these past few days. As a mother, I also feel uncomfortable watching her. Niangniang, what do you think is going on," Wei Qin shi wiped the few tears at the corner of her eyes and hesitantly spoke, "Chenfu heard that there aren't many servants in His Highness's fu, how about … …" She raised her head and saw that guifei niangniang's eyes were slightly cold. She could only swallow her words.
"Since niece's health isn't good, ben gong will send an invitation for the people at the Imperial Hospital to take a look. Girls have to be pampered and their bodies can't be harmed. Otherwise, it will affect the children." Jing guifei gave a reserved smile and turned to order the servants beside her to send an invitation to the Imperial Hospital.
Wei Qin shi's expression changed slightly. Seeing that the palace maid had gone to call for the taiyi, she gritted her teeth and said: "Niangniang, our family's Ran Shuang is also a pretty good girl. Why don't we let her go to the wang fu to serve? In any case, it can be considered a closer relationship."
Jing guifei raised her teacup to take a sip. Hearing Wei Qin shi's words, she wasn't angry. She drawled: "Ran Shuang is such a good guniang. Tang sao is willing to let her serve ben gong's good-for-nothing son?"
"His Highness Duan Wang has a grand appearance. Chen fu has never seen a youth more outstanding than His Highness," Wei Qin shi fawningly said, "To be able to enter the wang fu to serve, it is our yahuan's good fortune. What is there to be unwilling?"
Jing guifei only knew that Wei Qin shi was short-sighted, but she didn't know that her skin could be so thick. If Wei Ran Shuang married properly, her husband's family would definitely treat her well because of her and Heng'er. Now, she had to sharpen her head to enter the wang fu. But Heng'er didn't have any intentions towards her. Wasn't this just asking for humiliation? Even more, after this matter, the branch of tang xiong's branch would only be the paternal family of a concubine to Duan Wang Fu and not an elder.
Putting down the teacup, Jing guifei tested the corners of her mouth and said: "Heng'er has already married wang fei. Wang fei is a virtuous person, ben gong can't let Heng'er take a qie. Ben gong doesn't care about these things. If niece wants to be a qie, tang sao should discuss it with Heng'er." Finishing, she raised her hand, "Ben gong is tired and won't keep tang sao company."
Wei Qin shi was helpless and could only stand to bid farewell. Jing guifei looked disdainfully as she left. She said in a light voice: "No wonder their branch hasn't matured since Grandfather's generation. What kind of brains do they have? In the future, if they ask to see ben gong, reject them all."
She was a dignified guifei. Did she have to curry favor with a distant tang sao? Even her own tang ge's wife was very well-behaved in front of her. This Wei Qin shi was just the eldest grandson of her grandfather's brother. What was she? Did she think that just because the branch of the first branch was prosperous, they would be soft and easy to talk to?!
She didn't want face when given, it disgusted people. Just because Wei Ran Shuang had this kind of mother, she wouldn't let her enter Duan Wang Fu.
He Heng didn't know that he was being targeted. Hearing that He Yuan had already sent the letter in blood into the palace, he rubbed his chin as he opened the curtain of the sedan window. Looking at the bustling crowd outside, he gave a light laugh.
He had predicted that He Qi would act against the imperial envoys. However, he had a conscience and didn't let anyone harm lao si. Now that the matter had gotten out of hand, if He Qi wanted to use this to suppress lao san, he had to consider whether Shu guifei in the hougong and fuhuang would be willing to put the crime on lao san's head.
As expected, the next day, Qing De Emperor expressed doubt about what He Qi had found. In his words, there was suspicion that He Qi hadn't done his job properly. No matter how He Qi tried to explain, in the end, he only got the order to continue investigating.
He Heng stood at the side and saw He Qi kneeling on the ground with a face full of grievance and helplessness. He turned to look at the other people in the court. These officials all had their heads lowered but at this time, they couldn't help but feel that fuhuang was muddle-headed. In order to protect Rui Wang, he had purposefully blamed Ning Wang. Right Minister Wei and Cheng Wang had suffered injuries for nothing.
Thinking about the Emperor's mediocrity and favoritism, and Rui Wang's arrogance, many of the officials present felt a chill in their hearts. Right Minister Wei was the Emperor's confidante and Cheng Wang was the Emperor's youngest son. Both of them had suffered such heavy injuries, but it couldn't compare to a few words of grievance from Rui Wang. If this continued, what would become of the Da Long Dynasty?
"Emperor, His Highness Rui Wang is the most suspicious in this matter. Please, Emperor, temporarily imprison Rui Wang and wait for the matter to be investigated before making a decision," An official came forward and knelt down, "Please, Emperor, make a decision."
"You dare, zhen has already decided on this matter, there's no need to say more," Qing De Emperor angrily said, "Leave."
"Emperor, did you forget Imperial Censor Zhao who died after hitting a jade pillar?" The official kowtowed as he asked, "If this matter wasn't related to His Highness Rui Wang, who would try to assassinate the imperial envoys? This official made a rash decision. Maybe Rui Wang had a guilty conscience and in order to stop the imperial envoys from investigating, he made such a move. But luckily, the Right Minister Wei and His Highness Cheng Wang's lives weren't in danger. His Highness Rui Wang hadn't made a grave mistake. "
Wasn't this sentence convicting Rui Wang? He Heng lowered his head to look at the official. He wasn't an important member of the court. Sweat still hung on his forehead and he looked slightly nervous. He couldn't help but glance at He Qi who was still kneeling. This person was lao da's man? He didn't know what leverage lao da had that he still had to face the difficulty at this time.
"Please, Emperor, reconsider." An official behind He Heng followed and knelt down.
"Please, Emperor, reconsider!" In a short while, more than half of the people in court had knelt. Of these people, only a small portion were lao da's men but they already believed in their hearts that the mastermind of the assassination attempt was He Yuan. They were also bitterly disappointed by the Emperor's attitude so they stood out at this time.
Qing De Emperor hadn't thought that so many people would object. He was so angry his face flushed red but he didn't want to relent. He took a deep breath and said: "This is just Imperial Censor Zhao's side of the story. Rui Wang might have been wrongly accused. Zhen can't convict him before the matter is fully investigated."
Who knew that these officials still knelt, not saying a word.
Qing De Emperor, who had been angered by these people, flicked his sleeves and left, leaving the crowd in the hall. He Heng twisted the corner of his mouth. This fuhuang of his was always like this. Petty and biased, but he didn't have much ability to govern. No wonder lao san was spoiled to such an extent.
The news that the Emperor was protecting Rui Wang and wasn't willing to punish Rui Wang quickly spread through Jing. The people who had been tortured by Rui Wang embellished the story. In an instant, the Emperor became a muddle-headed and biased person. His other son was almost killed but he was biased towards his other son.
No one dared to openly say such things but the common people couldn't stop the story from being made into a fictional character story. Some storytellers used it as a storytelling. After hearing the story, everyone scolded the eldest for being biased and how innocent and pitiful the youngest son was.
The matter grew bigger and bigger. By the time it reached Qing De Emperor's ears, it had already spread throughout Jing. Even a three-year-old child had heard the adapted version of the story. He was so angry he spat out a mouthful of blood. He started to suspect that this matter had been done by lao da. Otherwise, how could the rumors in Jing spread so quickly?
His son couldn't be scolded right now. Qing De Emperor summoned the commander of the Imperial Guards and scolded him. He also ordered him to imprison the people spreading the rumors.
The commander of the Imperial Guards came out of the Imperial Study with a bitter expression. The matter had already grown big but the Emperor still had to order the arrest. Wasn't this adding oil to the fire? But the Emperor had given the order. He had to do it even if he didn't want to. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel his head swell.
Coming out of the palace gates, he coincidentally saw Duan Wang preparing to enter the carriage. His eyes instantly brightened. He strode forward and bowed, greeting: "Wei chen greets Your Highness Duan Wang."
He Heng turned his head. Seeing it was the commander of the Imperial Guards, Sun Bo Hai, he stopped moving and greeted: "Commander Sun."
Sun Bo Hai got straight to the point: "The Emperor has ordered wei chen to deal with the rumors in Jing. Those who spread rumors will be imprisoned. But wei chen is afraid that it will not be done thoroughly. Can wang ye give wei chen a suggestion? "
"Why don't you first give the order that these people are not allowed to spread rumors. If they are found, they will all be imprisoned. Ben wang heard that the rumors on Niu Wei Street are the strongest. Commander Sun, why don't you send someone to take a look." He Heng smiled faintly, "Ben wang has other matters and will leave first."
"Many thanks for wang ye's brilliant plan. Respectfully sending wang ye off." Commander Sun watched as the carriage of Duan Wang Fu moved further and further away. His heart released a breath. The Niu Wei Street that Duan Wang mentioned was a gathering place for local ruffians. It wouldn't be wrong to capture these people. He could also report to the Emperor.
When He Heng returned to the wang fu, he found that there was a carriage that wasn't very exquisite in front of the gates. He raised an eyebrow to ask the gatekeeper, "Someone came from the fu?"
"Wang ye, it's Wei furen and Wei xiaojie. Wang fei is receiving the two." The gatekeeper replied in a small voice.
Hearing this, He Heng's brows furrowed. What did this family come for?
