Chapter 646: Dark War (2)

Cheng Jinrong is pregnant and should not worry about it.

He Qi tried his best to underestimate: "I met some bandits on the road, and they had been repelled. Several were killed and injured, and the women and children of the Pei family were safe and sound."

Cheng Jinrong was very keen and immediately saw something wrong: "The Pei family was confiscated and exiled, and there was neither gold nor silver nor property. How could he provoke bandits?"

What's more, there were five hundred imperial guards and one hundred personal soldiers from the He family who accompanied them. For these six hundred elite soldiers, ordinary bandits would retreat.

Where did this bandit come from? Why did it come?

He Qi responded lightly: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. His Royal Highness has already reported to the emperor."

Cheng Jinrong glanced at He Qi deeply.

He Qi: "..."

He Qi, who had never lie to his wife, suddenly felt guilty when he was looked at by those bright eyes.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinrong did not ask any more questions and just said softly: "I'm back."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As the commander of the Eastern Palace guards, He Qi could not leave his post without permission, so he had to watch Cheng Jinrong's figure leave.

Zhu Qijue, the son-in-law who has been promoted to the commander of the imperial guards, came over and whispered: "Cousin, my cousin's wife is so big that she is almost inconvenient in the palace. It's time to take leave from the emperor!"

The poisoning of Emperor Xuanhe is no secret.

The "truth" that everyone knows is that the Marquis of Yong'an presented poison to the second prince, and the second prince instigated Princess Shouning to poison the dim sum... Empress Pei is a substitute's secret, and very few people know it.

Zhu Qijue didn't know the inside story. However, he had already seen many strange things when he was in charge of the imperial court every day.

For example, after Emperor Xuanhe woke up, he did not even see him, so he ordered Empress Pei to return to the Jiaofang Palace to recuperate.

For example, Emperor Xuanhe suddenly showed a fatherly warmth to the princes, but became much colder and far away from the sixth prince.

For example, Cheng Jinrong is about to give birth, but he has not been able to leave the palace and return home for a long time...

The first two points can also be explained as Emperor Xuanhe took his anger at Empress Pei and his son because of the Marquis of Yong'an. What is the purpose of this last point? Cheng Jinrong's surname is Cheng, but he is not a member of the Pei family. The emperor took his anger at Cheng Jinrong, which was a bit out of the way.

He Qi felt mixed feelings, and he didn't show any of his face. He whispered: "When the situation of the emperor improves, I will go to meet the emperor and ask for leave for Arong."

Zhu Qijue nodded and whispered: "The second prince is still locked in the heavenly prison. I don't know what the emperor plans to deal with the second prince."

Since the second prince was admitted to the Heavenly Prison, no one knew what the second prince had experienced in the Heavenly Prison.

He Qi pulled the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold: "It depends on whether the emperor is willing to spare the second prince."

...

In the emperor's bedroom, the sixth prince and the princes greeted each other and walked to the dragon bed, bowed with anger and reported: "Father, my son is told that something strange today, I want to report to my father."

A five-foot distance is neither far nor close.

With Emperor Xuanhe's eyes, he could only vaguely see the familiar handsome face of the Sixth Prince, and the change in expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

Emperor Xuanhe resisted the urge to call the sixth prince to sit down by the bed, and asked lightly: "What a strange thing?"

The sixth prince did not look at the faces of several brothers and told the attack of the Pei family: "...These bandits are so brave that they dared to attack the officers and soldiers. Commander Li sent a message back to Beijing, and the soldiers who sent the message were also intercepted and killed halfway. More than a hundred corpses were sent to the government office. The magistrate of Tan actually suppressed the file and did not report it to the court."

"In desperation, Commander Li came up with a plan to deliberately buy rice, grain and meat at high prices, and use the mouths of the people and merchants to pass the matter to the capital."

"Marquis Yong'an made a big mistake and was executed. The father was very kind and kept the entire Pei family's life, and only ordered them to be exiled to Lingnan."

"These bandits, regardless of the holy will, intend to kill the Pei family. After careful consideration, their vicious hearts were shocking. My son was furious after hearing this."

"The Pei family is Erchen's foreign family. If he was murdered so unknownly, what kind of face does Erchen, the prince of the Eastern Palace, have to sit in the court?"

"I think this group of bandits must have been ordered to attack my son by dealing with the Pei family."

"My son reported this matter to the emperor. What should I do next? I also ask the emperor to decide!"

The words of the Sixth Prince were clearly heard into the ears of the princes.

The young Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were frightened and subconsciously leaned back together.

The eldest prince looked ugly, the fourth prince frowned, and the fifth prince's face was not much better. I don't know if it was because of the bandit's bold move or because the sixth prince told the matter directly in front of Emperor Xuanhe...

Some things are kept private and everyone is tacit, and the waves are surging and fighting each other.

The sixth prince did the opposite and complained with a grievance and asked Emperor Xuanhe to support him.

What will Emperor Xuanhe react?

Should we strictly investigate whether to support the Sixth Prince, or to scold the Sixth Prince for making a big deal?

Will the incident of the Pei family completely lose the Sixth Prince's holy heart? Will it make Emperor Xuanhe have the intention of Yi Chu?

...

The princes' hearts were raised to their throats at the same time.

His eyes fell on Emperor Xuanhe's face.

Emperor Xuanhe could not see the expressions of his sons, but he could even imagine the wonderful expressions of the princes.

The silence of a short moment made the atmosphere in the dormitory more and more consolidated.

After a while, Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth and said, "Transfer my oral orders, dismiss the magistrate of Tan, and send another 500 imperial guards to escort the Pei family to Lingnan. I send my oral orders to command Commander Li to protect the Pei family. If something happened to the Pei family, I will ask him!"

The Sixth Prince responded respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Emperor Xuanhe sent people to protect the Pei family, which shows that the Pei family still has a way out. He, the prince of the Eastern Palace, has not completely lost his holy heart.

However, Emperor Xuanhe’s meaning is also very obvious. There is no need to investigate this matter strictly until now.

The princes, whether they were glad or angry, breathed a sigh of relief.

The seventh prince and the eighth prince were still children, and could not resist the depressing atmosphere, so they all said to leave: "Father, my son still has to go to the study room to study, so I will leave first."

Emperor Xuanhe nodded.

As if the seventh prince and eighth prince were granted a general amnesty, they immediately retreated out. On the way to the study, the seventh prince whispered to the eighth prince: "Eighth brother, the prince is fighting so hard, so it's better for us to go to see our father less."

The Eighth Prince felt sad: "What I mean is that several emperor brothers stood together, smiling and dissatisfied with each other. I always sweated coldly."

Anyway, it’s not our turn to do it, so we’d better keep it a little honestly.
