360 Brainstorming _3
Xu Qi. an waved his hand. . ‘m sorry. I just want to calm down …
He thought for a long time and probed. His Majesty wants to depose the Empress. The reason is that the real murderer behind Consort Fu’s case is the Empress. And the Empress has really admitted it? ”
The fourth prince nodded.
“Could he have been forced to?” Xu Qi ‘an guessed.
“I won’t,” Wei Yuan shook his head and looked at him with eyes filled with vicissitudes of life.
“You were the one who personally investigated the fu Fei case. No one knows any clues and details better than you. Think about it carefully, is there anything suspicious or unreasonable? Today, the two of you came to the Yamen not only to discuss the matter of the dethroned Empress, but also to ask for your help.
“His Majesty hasn’t taken back your golden medallion yet. The Dukes need time to confirm this matter, and you still have time to investigate this case.”
Huaiqing and the fourth prince both looked at Xu Qi ‘an.
“Thank you, Lord Xu,” the fourth prince cupped his hands in obeisance.
Xu Qi ‘an ignored him and turned to look at huaiqing.
The Lotus-like elegant and Noble Princess carefully examined him with her limpid eyes. how’s your injury? ”
She didn’t care about the proposal, but was concerned about Xu Qi ‘an’s injury.
I won’t divorce you since you’ve admitted your mistake so sincerely … Xu Qi ‘an replied, ” thank you for your concern, Princess. I’m fine.
After a pause, she continued,”in Consort Fu’s case, the Empress did have sufficient motive and reason to frame the Crown Prince.” And according to the clues I found yesterday, the true murderer behind the scenes is indeed pointing at the Empress.”
impossible, ” the fourth prince interrupted excitedly. mother would never do such a thing.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’m not done yet.” “Your Majesty, do you have any evidence?” Xu Qi ‘an asked, looking at Huai Qing.
“No, it was Mother who admitted it.” Huaiqing shook his head.
Xu Qi ‘an frowned. that’s strange. If your Majesty has no evidence, why would the Empress admit it? ” he asked. Since the Empress has already admitted it, why did she send people to assassinate me?”
This was a paradox.
The fourth prince sighed,”it’s precisely because I don’t know that I came to find you.” Lord Xu, you have solved many strange cases. If there is anyone in the capital who can find the truth in a short time and clear mother’s name, then that person is you.”
Xu Qi ‘an took his first sip of tea and said slowly, “”When I first took over the case, I felt that there were only two possibilities for the fu Fei case:First, the Crown Prince had indeed lost his mind after drinking and killed Consort Fu.
“Two, someone framed the Crown Prince and tried to seize the position of the eastern Palace.
“After investigating Consort Fu’s Qingfeng Palace, I can conclude that the Crown Prince was indeed maligned. Then this case belonged to the second possibility, someone wanted to frame the Crown Prince.
“Following this line of thought, all the clues pointed to the Empress. To be honest with the two Majesties, just now, I was also suspecting the Empress, suspecting that she had sent an assassin to assassinate me.
“But when I learned that the Queen admitted that she was the real murderer behind the scenes, I suddenly had doubts about this case. Then the goal of the mastermind behind the scenes was not as simple as framing the Crown Prince. It was killing two birds with one stone.
“But I have a question. The Empress lives in seclusion, and the fourth prince is not the Crown Prince, so why did the mastermind behind the scenes point the spearhead at the Empress, and what is his goal? It can’t be the position of the harem master.”
With an Emperor who had been abstinent for more than ten years, was there any meaning to the throne of the harem master?
“First of all, regardless of whether the fourth prince is the Crown Prince or not, he is still the eldest son of the Emperor.” Secondly, the mastermind behind this is after me. ”
“???”Xu Qi ‘an looked at him in confusion.
Wei Yuan was silent for a moment before he explained, “”The Wei family and the Shangguan family are family friends. The Empress’s surname is Shangguan.”
In other words, Wei Yuan and the Empress were political allies, and were considered the Empress’s. relatives …” No wonder Princess huaiqing was half a disciple of Wei Yuan … So, on the surface, Consort Fu’s case was to frame the Crown Prince, but in fact, it was targeted at Wei Yuan?
Without a doubt, Wei Yuan belonged to the fourth Prince’s faction … One Consort Fu case was enough to deal with the Crown Prince and the fourth prince at the same time. That was amazing … Xu Qi ‘an was secretly speechless.
“Father removed the Duke of Wei from his position as the left Censorate during today’s court session.” Said Princess huaiqing.
Eh, this doesn’t make sense … Even if the mastermind wanted to weaken Wei Yuan by overthrowing the Empress, it would only be a loss of Wei Yuan’s ‘allies’ and weakening his power.
Why did Emperor Yuan jing immediately remove Wei Yuan’s important status as soon as something happened to the Empress? it was as if Emperor Yuan jing was the mastermind behind all this … Wait a minute, let’s say that the Empress was the mastermind behind the crown prince’s scheme and her intention was to help the fourth prince become the Crown Prince.
After Emperor yuanjing found out about this, he immediately weakened and beat Wei Yuan down … What did this mean?
It meant that Emperor Yuan jing was very afraid of Wei Yuan.
Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood why Emperor yuanjing had chosen the Prince born from a concubine to be the Crown Prince, instead of the fourth prince born from the Empress.
The Empress and Wei Yuan are in a political alliance. If the fourth prince were to be the Crown Prince, I would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Xu Qi ‘an put away his scattered thoughts and focused on the case, re-organizing the fu Fei case in his heart.
As Xu Qi ‘an fell into deep thought, the tea room became silent. Only the soft breathing of the four people could be heard.
after the Crown Prince finished drinking at noble Consort Chen’s place, he met Huang xiaorou on his way back and was invited to Consort Fu’s Qingfeng Palace … At that time, the Crown Prince had indeed harbored evil thoughts towards his father’s woman.
“After that, Consort Fu fell from the building and died. The Crown Prince became a suspect and was detained in the court of judicial review.
after I found out that Consort Fu was killed and the Crown Prince was framed, Huang xiaorou’s body was found in crab restaurant the next day … It was too much of a coincidence.
“No wonder I felt that something was wrong at that time. Huang xiaorou was killed to silence her and not to commit suicide, so why did the murderer choose crab restaurant?
“If you want to silence them, it’s better to bury them secretly than to throw them into a well. Taking a step back, there were at least dozens, or even hundreds of Wells in the inner court of the palace, but he chose the densely populated crab Pavilion, which was easy to find.
“This is intentional. He deliberately let us find out about Huang xiaorou’s relationship with the Empress.
“My initial guess was wrong? Huang xiaorou wasn’t the murderer of Consort Fu. She was just a prop for us to lock our suspicion on the Queen?
“No, it was Huang xiaorou who tricked the Crown Prince into going to Qingfeng Palace. The Crown Prince may lie, but his guards would not. This was too easy to distinguish. Moreover, to be able to set up the scene, secretly destroy the guardrails, and know Consort Fu’s habits, and know that she was going to be in love with her fake husband, all of this had to be done by her personal head Palace maid.
“If the Empress didn’t do this, why did she admit it? Perhaps there was some reason that forced her to admit it.
“What is the Empress afraid of? This was definitely related to this case, and the three main people involved in the case were Consort Fu, the Crown Prince, and the palace maid Huang xiaorou.
and among the three of them, the only one who is in contact with the Empress is Huang xiaorou …
Huang xiaorou?
All kinds of thoughts and speculations flashed through Xu Qi ‘an’s mind. She combined the clues she had obtained and deliberated the case step by step.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly realized something. He took out a piece of dull yellow silk cloth from his pocket.
It was embroidered with a Red Lotus and a line of words:The spring of the thirty-first year of yuanjing.
Princess huaiqing stared at the yellow silk cloth and said,”This is from the palace maid, Huang xiaorou.”
“Right!” Xu Qi ‘an nodded and looked at the three of them. His gaze finally fell on huaiqing and he said in a deep voice, Your Highness, we only know that the Empress saved Huang xiaorou, but there are two suspicious points. I don’t know if you have noticed them.
Huaiqing shook his head.
first, why did the Empress save Huang xiaorou? ”
“Mother has always been kind and generous. It’s not strange for her to consume a spirit pill to save a Palace maid.” Huaiqing said.
The Empress might be a good person, but that was not the point … Xu Qi ‘an shook his head and said,”then why would the Empress pay attention to a Palace maid?” He even sent Feng Qi Palace’s he er to keep an eye on her?”
“Bengong asked Imperial mother, but Imperial mother did not say.” Huaiqing frowned.
second, why did the palace maid Huang xiaorou commit suicide? ” Xu Qi ‘an pointed at the yellow silk cloth and said in a deep voice, “”The answer is here.”
