Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 317 Guilt towards her daughter
Qinghe said: "Is the inner government confused? They mistook poisoning for hanging, then Yun'er probably died of taking poison."

"The question is, where did the poison come from in this deep palace? A court lady has such a deadly poison that even being gnawed by wild wolves after death can poison wild wolves to death. Isn't this kind of poison dangerous? So, It's the servants who have taken this matter seriously." Changchun said.

The emperor asked Qinghe, "This Yun'er is the court lady you scolded that day. How did this happen?"

Qinghe was a little puzzled, "Father, I have never seen Yun'er before, and I don't know her either."

"I don't know you?" the emperor said, "That day you suspected that she stole items from your palace. She sent you something at the order of the imperial concubine."

Qing He said: "Father, there has never been any theft in the son's palace, and, Mother Concubine Qi has not sent anyone to deliver anything to the son, so... where does this start?"

She looked at Changchun blankly and then at the emperor, looking very at a loss.

"No?" The emperor's expression gradually became serious, "Are you sure?"

"Father, you can call the people in the son's palace to ask. The son's palace has never been stolen, and no one has ever given anything to the son. Since the death of the mother and concubine, the only people who come to Suhe Palace to look for the son are Except for those sent by Changchun sister and the queen mother to condolences, no one else came."

She thought for a while, and quickly changed her words, "No, people from the emperor's grandmother also came here, bringing Xuan'er, but no one from Mother Concubine Qi's side."

"Wang Xi!" The emperor raised his voice and shouted.

"Here we come, the servant is here!" Eunuch Xi hurried in.

The emperor ordered: "Go to Suhe Palace immediately and ask, has Yun'er been to Suhe Palace, and has Suhe Palace ever been stolen? Ask the guards of Suhe Palace about this, and ask People who used to live in Suhe Palace."

"Yes, the slave will go right away!" Wang Xi said.

After Wang Xi left, Qinghe said: "Father, I don't know what happened. I have been in the palace for the past few days and have never gone out."

"It happened before you were grounded." The emperor actually believed in Qinghe, but Xiaoqi said the matter, a child, he wouldn't lie, right?

Changchun said: "Father, Yi'erzhai has a kind heart and will never frame the court lady."

The emperor asked Qinghe, "Have you never seen this cloud?"

Qinghe said honestly: "Maybe I have seen it before, but I don't know which one it is. After all, I also went to pay my respects to Concubine Qi, but I don't remember the name of her maid in the palace."

The emperor said: "But one day, you saw Yun'er and Xiaoqi in the imperial garden. She was rude to you, and you scolded her."

Qinghe felt even more baffled, "Father, my son hasn't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time."

The emperor's face sank, "Have you been to the Imperial Garden for a long time?"

Qinghe said: "Yes, since the mother and concubine were grounded, I have no intention of going to the imperial garden. Most of them are playing with Xuan'er in the palace. Occasionally, I will go to the emperor's grandmother and mother's side to say hello. Come to my father."

Changchun also said: "That's right, father, Yi'er never goes out very much. After she was punished by the imperial concubine in the imperial garden, she rarely went to the imperial garden. She almost always reads in the palace."

"Punishment by the imperial concubine?" The emperor looked at Qinghe, his voice softened, "What's going on?"

Qinghe shook his head, "It's nothing, my son is ignorant and doesn't understand the rules, so he unintentionally offended Concubine Qi, but that happened two or three years ago, sister don't want to mention it again, and I don't want to remember it. "

The emperor felt a little pain in his heart, and looked at Qinghe with pity. Two or three years ago, she was not taken seriously. Although she was a princess, she was not favored because of her low status as a concubine, and she was also neglected and bullied.

Even now, she just came to the imperial study twice more. He paid more attention to this daughter, and some people were jealous. First, he felt that Yi'er was cruel and ruthless. The incident of Yinghuo Shouxin came to frame her, if Bai Suning hadn't pointed it out today, I'm afraid she would really be burned at the stake.

All the cruel frame-up schemes imposed on her were all due to his lack of neglect towards her mother and daughter in the past. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help feeling more pity and guilt towards Qinghe.

Thinking of this, he ordered Changchun: "Go and investigate immediately, and you must investigate Yun'er's death clearly."

Changchun said: "Father, this involves Fushen Palace, I'm afraid..."

The emperor frowned, "What are you afraid of? Who dares to disobey my will?"

Changchun's expression straightened, and he said: "Father, I understand, I will go investigate immediately."

After finishing speaking, he left.

After Changchun left, the emperor looked at Qinghe and sighed: "Father and emperor paid too little attention to you before, and now that your mother and concubine are gone again, I always feel sorry for you."

Qinghe said softly: "Father, you are the king of a country. There are so many things in this world that you worry about. You don't have to worry about the children in the harem. The children are fine. Although the mother and concubine have left, Both the imperial grandmother and the queen mother are very kind to the son. The mother is afraid that the son will be sad in Suhe Palace alone, so people say that they want to take the son to the Compassion Palace. I refused and didn't go. Father, don't worry, this son is the father's daughter, and he has his father's determination in his blood, so he is not so weak."

The emperor was very pleased when he heard this, "Among my many children, you are the one with the most personality and ability. Just now I heard from Changchun that you read books in the palace. Do you like reading books?"

Qinghe said shyly: "I don't have any other entertainment except reading. As a princess, living in the deep palace all the year round, I am like a frog in a well. Reading can increase my knowledge and know the world's affairs."

"Okay, okay," said the emperor, "reading is excellent, no wonder you can always give so many unique suggestions."

"The things my son said are all learned from books. I have read Xiangguo's state governance policy some time ago, and I think the knowledge in it is very useful. Has Father ever read it?"

"I read it. I read it when I was the prince. When I read it, I thought this book was really good. Later, I gradually forgot about it. Yi'er, you are a wake-up call to my father. You must read it carefully. Take a look at this book."

Qinghe said with a smile: "From now on, when I see any good books, I will recommend them to my father."

"Hey, you are so sensible, how can I be willing to marry you to Nanchu?" The emperor sighed.

Qinghe said with a smile: "Father, Chu Jinyu lives in Daliang all year round, who knows when he will go back to Southern Chu? If he stays in Southern Chu all his life, then I will be able to guard Father for the rest of his life."

The emperor said: "That's right, I simply appointed Chu Jinyu an official. With his temper, he can't do much, so I just hang up a casual job so that he has a sense of belonging."
