Xiaoxiang County Lord

Chapter 132

"Was the queen there when you went to save people?" Dong Hao asked urgently.

"No, the queen wasn't there when we went." Tian Nuo answered with his head bowed.

"The queen is not here, where did she go?"

"We don't know, we just didn't see her. When we rushed to the underground city, we didn't see her either. There were only a few masked people inside. Now those masked people are locked in the sky prison by us. Here, waiting for the emperor's hair."

"You didn't see the queen when you went to save people, which means that the queen may not have done this." Dong Hao analyzed.

"Father, the Queen did this." Tian Nuo replied affirmatively.

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure this matter has something to do with the empress, it was the empress who ordered Xiaoxiang and Concubine Yu to be tied up in the palace." Tian Nuo said through gritted teeth.

"What evidence do you have?" Dong Hao asked.

"Father, you said that you can tie people to the West Palace and lock them up in the underground city. You said there is no one else but the queen."

Dong Hao shook his head: "Tiannuo, you need evidence in everything. Even if someone is found in the West Palace, it doesn't mean that the empress did it."

"I'm sure the empress did this, Dad, you have to trust me." Tian Nuo said excitedly.

"Of course Dad believes in you, and our whole family believes in you, but if you think about it, the empress did it, but you can't convict her without evidence. She can just deny it and push the responsibility to those few Personally." Dong Hao analyzed clearly.

"Then what should we do? Dad, is there no way to punish the queen?" Tianqi asked angrily.

"Does the emperor know about this?" Dong Hao sat down.

"I know, he was the one who tacitly asked us to go to the West Palace to save people."

"That means the emperor also knew that the empress did it, right? Did the emperor arrest the empress?" Tianqi asked anxiously.

"No, the emperor doesn't allow anyone to touch her. I think the emperor still has feelings for the queen." Tian Nuo sighed.

"The emperor is right to do this." Dong Hao stood up, "Don't say that there is no evidence for this matter, even if there is evidence, you can't touch the queen now."

"Father, why? Could it be that she can do whatever she wants just because she is a queen? Could it be that she can do whatever she wants just because the emperor has feelings for her?" Tianqi said with anger on his face, "Does my sister deserve to suffer?"

"You don't know many things in court, and you don't know the emperor too much." Dong Hao sighed, "Although he has deep feelings for the queen, he will not allow her to commit a crime and let her go."

"I only know that the empress committed the same crime as the common people." Tian Qi said angrily.

"Yes, father." Tian Nuo echoed.

"You all should know that the prime minister is the queen's uncle." Dong Hao sighed.

"What does this have to do with the prime minister?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Do you think the Prime Minister will not intervene in the queen's matter? This is why the emperor doesn't move her. It's not that the emperor doesn't want to move her, but the situation doesn't allow it."

"Father, can you explain a little more clearly." Everyone was still at a loss.

"This is a matter in the court. The prime minister is under one person and above ten thousand. Over the years, he has relied on his own power to win over officials everywhere. Now it is not what it used to be. If the emperor moves him, the country will also be shaken." With a flick, the emperor has no power of his own, so he is no match for him at all." Dong Hao said slowly.

"Isn't there still you and Lord Zhan in the court? The prime minister is just a mere civil servant, what can he do?" Tianqi said.

"Tianqi, you don't understand." Dong Hao sighed, "Although I am Lord Yujian, I don't have the right to soldiers and horses at all, and Lord War doesn't have much power either. All the power has been handed over, and the prime minister's disciple is General Li Jun who is stationed abroad. Except for some soldiers and horses led by Lord Zhan, the rest of the soldiers and horses are in the hands of Li Jun. If there is trouble, it will be bitter. It will only be the common people. If there is internal strife among us, then those people who are eyeing tigers will plan to attack us in the Central Plains. The emperor is a sensible person, and he must have thought of this level so he will not move." Dong Hao sighed up to the sky. It seems that the court He sees the current situation very clearly.

"Then what? We can't do anything, let them do whatever they want?"

"The emperor is well aware of this matter, I believe he will have a solution." Dong Hao looked confident.

"Actually, I think the empress will become like this. The main reason is the emperor. If he didn't dote on her too much and let her do whatever she wanted, things wouldn't have turned out like this." Tian Qi said angrily.

"Tian Qi." Dong Hao glared at him, "We are courtiers, how can we talk about the emperor's affairs, we are not allowed to say such things in the future, we can only rot in our stomachs, you know?"

Tianqi nodded disheartenedly: "Understood, Dad."

"Mother, I will go to the palace with Shanrou to see Xiaoxiang tomorrow. You are not in good health recently, so you should not go." Dong Hao bowed his hands.

"Yes, mother, you should rest at home." Shanrou walked to Taijun's side.

"It's fine for me to rest at home, but you have to tell me everything about Miss Xue." Taijun coughed a few times.

"Mother, mother," Shanrou patted her on the back.

"Mother, I'd better help you go in and rest," Jian Qiu said while supporting the Taijun.

Taijun stood up slowly and walked towards the inner hall.
