The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 763
Since Jia's mother passed away, it's hard to say who is the busiest in Rongguo Mansion during the day, but Jiao Shun must be the busiest at night.

In order to fight for the inheritance, both Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing hoped that he could stand up and say something fair. What happened was that he often took the tiger at the front and the wolf at the back. How many brain cells were wasted.

It's also fortunate that he is not a serious junior, so he doesn't have to stand in front of Jiamu's spirit every day, otherwise he will be able to bear it, and he will be bored to death.

In such a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

Jiao Shun first finished offering sacrifices to the stove at the Ministry of Industry, and then ran non-stop to the Engineering Academy to preside over it. It was finally settled, and Zhan Shifu sent someone to ask if they wanted to hold a banquet tonight.

Unfortunately, Jiao Shun in the last two places said the same thing, and decisively pushed the two wines to 24 and 25.

Seeing that it was getting late, he was going to rush to the restaurant reserved by the Ministry of Industry to make some decorations in advance - next year, he will most likely step down as the head of the Department of Affairs, and this is also the last shift.

I didn't want to be stopped by Qiu Shi'an who came rushing to the gate of the engineering school as soon as I arrived.

Seeing Qiu Shi'an's panic-stricken look, Jiao Shun couldn't help but shudder, thinking to himself, could it be that the emperor died?Or is he going to ask himself to enter the palace and ask for help on his deathbed?

"Boss Qiu."

So without waiting for Qiu Shi'an to open his mouth, he rushed to ask: "Could it be that His Majesty has been summoned?"

Qiu Shi'an shook his head slightly and said, "Your Excellency Jiao, you don't need to ask any more questions, you will understand when you enter the palace."

As he spoke, he urged: "It's not too late, Mr. Jiao should leave earlier!"

Apparently, it's probably the former.

Complicated emotions welled up in his heart, and Jiao Shun got into the carriage silently, recalling the details of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers over the years. Although the emperor had intended to use the New Confucianism to check and balance him, or even replace him, he, Jiao Shun, can have today , in addition to his own hard work, he is absolutely inseparable from the emperor's promotion and favor.

Nowadays, people are separated from each other, why not make people feel inexplicable?

Reminiscing about the past in this way, until the Forbidden City was approaching, Jiao Shun forced himself to put aside these old things, and turned to think about the things after the emperor's great trip.

Unsurprisingly, after the emperor's death, the civil servants will inevitably launch a counterattack, but in view of my status as a minister from Longtuogu, as long as the Supreme Emperor is not bewitched by the Zaizhi, I can always carry it down. Get there.

If the Supreme Emperor was bewitched and insisted on going his own way, then he could only bite the bullet and come to the side of Qing Jun who was close to death!

Perhaps it is not even a narrow escape. After all, the Supreme Emperor is not a foreign minister, but the previous king. Whether he is kept or "cleared" him without doing anything, it will inevitably trigger a huge chain reaction. .

Even if the little emperor and Concubine Wu were on his side, there was still little hope of getting out unscathed.

So Jiao Shun would definitely not choose this path of no return unless he had to.

Hey~
I hope that the Supreme Emperor can keep his promise to his son and continue to support the policy of industrial innovation.

With such a feeling of uneasiness, he was taken all the way to the Qianqing Palace unimpeded, and he saw the Queen, Concubine Wu, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Xiande were all present, all of them looked panic-stricken.

Jiao Shun brewed his emotions, ready to cry when he heard the news of the emperor's death.

Who would have thought that the Empress would cry sadly when she saw him: "Jiao Aiqing, the Supreme Emperor... is dead."

The emperor is dead? !

This is how the same thing? !
Hearing the unexpected news, Jiao Shun was a little dazed for a moment, and even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears—didn't it mean that the emperor was dying, why did the emperor die before him? !
Just as he was hesitating whether to ask a question or not, she saw Concubine Wu hopping and stamping her feet: "Not only that, there are people in the palace spreading rumors, saying, that the crown prince killed the Supreme Emperor! It really is unreasonable!"

WTF? !
Jiao Shun was stunned again, where did all this come from?
He couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, where did you start talking about this?"

"Humph!"

Concubine Wu Gui gnashed her teeth, and was about to explain the cause and effect of the incident, but was stopped by the queen's cross arm, and ordered: "Sister Yuanchun, come and tell me."

This is obviously afraid that Concubine Wu Gui will speak out in a hurry.

Jia Yuanchun bowed in response, and then said: "Two days ago, the Supreme Emperor occasionally felt the wind and cold. Originally, he was just a little weaker, and it was not a serious problem, but I don't know why today he suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. It took only a quarter of an hour..."

Jiao Shun waited for a while, seeing that she had nothing to say, he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "Dare to ask your mother, what does this matter have to do with His Royal Highness?"

"This……"

Jia Yuanchun looked at Concubine Wu Gui, who was gnashing her teeth, and said, "There are rumors that the Supreme Emperor ate the cakes brought by His Royal Highness, so..."

"It's just ridiculous!"

Concubine Wu Guifei couldn't help but said angrily: "Who doesn't know that the Supreme Emperor is the crown prince's greatest support in the future, how could the crown prince..."

"Sister, be safe and don't be impatient."

The queen stretched out her hand again to stop her. In fact, Wu Guifei's sentence was already a taboo. Although everyone knew that the emperor's life was not long, but after all, he was not dead yet, so how could he say 'in the future'?
After stopping Concubine Wu, the Empress looked at Jiao Shun and said, "The palace and the Empress Dowager don't believe such nonsense, the reason why I called you into the palace is to hear your opinion."

Opinion?

What opinion?
Jiao Shun just felt baffled, what does this have to do with him?
Seeing him like this, the queen explained: "Concubine Wu Gui thinks that since you can make up so many stories to solve the case and decipher it, you will be able to restore the crown prince's innocence."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiao Shun pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "I don't know what Wansui wants?"

After a moment of silence in the hall, the queen said quietly, "Your Majesty hasn't woken up for seven or eight days."

Concubine Wu Gui then said violently: "Could it be that the Queen's sister's edict still can't order you? You just have to investigate, no matter who is involved, you have to investigate to the end - I want to see who is so bold How dare you frame the prince!"

"Don't dare, the minister obeys the order."

Jiao Shun hastily bowed to the order, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He originally thought that the Supreme Emperor would be the key to his future destiny, but who would have thought that the Supreme Emperor would die before the emperor.

In this way, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for myself.

"I don't know how you plan to inquire?"

As soon as Jiao Shun accepted Yi's decree, Concubine Wu Gui immediately started asking questions again.

Jiao Shunlue pondered for a while, and replied: "I kindly ask you to find out the cause of death for the Supreme Emperor first. If it is due to an emergency, you can use all your strength to arrest those who deceive the public with false rumors; if there is indeed something strange..."

"What's so strange!"

Concubine Wu Gui jumped anxiously when she heard this, glared at Jiao Shun and said, "Could it be that even you doubt the crown prince's success?!"

"I dare not."

Jiao Shun bowed again, neither humble nor overbearing, and explained: "I believe that His Royal Highness is pure and kind, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing. What I mean is that if there is something else wrong, you must find out the origin of the pastry as soon as possible." ,Then……"

"Then what?!"

After hearing this, Concubine Wu Gui became more and more annoyed: "The dim sum was brought from Zhongcui Palace, so maybe you are suspecting that Bengong is instigating Mrs...."

"younger sister!"

"Miss!"

Jiao Shun and the empress interrupted Concubine Wu's unrestrained speech almost at the same time, and then the empress tugged at Concubine Wu's sleeve and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, let Master Jiao finish speaking first."

Then he signaled Jiao Shun to continue talking.

Jiao Shun took a deep breath, and said seriously: "I never doubted your empress's intentions, but doubted this matter or the possibility of getting hit by a mistake."

"Missed the passenger car?"

The queen's face changed suddenly when she heard this, and she blurted out: "You mean, this matter may be aimed at the prince?!"

"I dare not say for sure, but it is not impossible."

In fact, Jiao Shun also has some doubts, whether this is Wu Guifei secretly setting up a trap, but he naturally cannot say that, even if he finds something, he must try to cover it up and destroy it, otherwise he will become the mother-killing enemy of the future emperor ?
