Chapter 364 (2/2)

“Mother is indeed soft-hearted.” Huaiqing shook his head regretfully. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be sad for her misfortune and angry at her for not striving.

It seemed that the Empress was a soft-hearted woman … If it were huaiqing, he would probably have killed Huang xiaorou and eliminated her … Huaiqing is a woman who can accomplish great things. I can confirm that. Xu Qi ‘an raised her hand to touch her chin, but stopped halfway. She put her hand back into the bucket and said, ”

“Then the case is clear. The Empress must also be paying attention to Consort Fu’s case. When she found out that the person who killed Consort Fu was Huang xiaorou, she knew that the person behind the scenes was planning to use the Imperial uncle to plot against her.

“This is an open scheme. Either you sacrifice your Imperial uncle or you sacrifice yourself. But then again, Her Majesty the Empress is really a demon that supports her younger brother.”

Huaiqing frowned,”help …” What do you mean by that?”

“For a good-for-nothing younger brother, she would rather be thrown into the cold Palace. Once she’s crippled, the fourth prince will no longer be the legitimate son, and he’ll truly have no fate with the throne.”

Huaiqing glanced at him and laughed,”What’s the difference between having concubines in the harem and living in the cold Palace?”

“That’s true,” Xu Qi ‘an met Huai Qing’s gaze. This was the first time the princess had expressed her dissatisfaction with Emperor yuanjing in front of him.

“Mother has never paid attention to the matters of the inner palace and she is not sentient to the position of Empress. Using the position of Empress to exchange for Imperial uncle’s life, she must be very willing. However, fourth Imperial brother will definitely be resentful.”

“So that’s why Your Highness sent the fourth prince away?”

“How do you explain the yellow silk?” huaiqing nodded and asked.

the spring of the 31st year of yuanjing should be the time when the palace maid, Huang xiaorou, lost her virginity … No, something was strange. Huang xiaorou had committed suicide four years ago, and the 31st year of yuanjing was five years ago. The thirty-seventh year of yuanjing has just begun, so let’s not count for now.” Xu Qi ‘an suddenly frowned.

Princess huaiqing understood Xu Qi ‘an’s meaning and said in a sweet voice,”According to the time, she committed suicide after a forced miscarriage. After mother aborted the child in Huang xiaorou’s womb, she arranged for he ‘er to take care of her. ”

“That’s indeed the case, and it matches the results of our investigation. However, doesn’t Your Highness find it strange? you just said that pregnancy and childbirth can’t be hidden in the harem. Huang xiaorou is just a Palace maid. Why would she dare to do this? unless she has a strong backing and is fearless.”

“It can’t be father.” Huaiqing shook his head.

Xu Qi ‘an agreed with this.

With Emperor Yuan jing’s desire for longevity and his obsession with cultivation, it was absolutely impossible for him to sleep with a Palace maid.

“Let’s go and ask this Imperial brother-in-law. There’s no point in blindly guessing here.”

Princess huaiqing agreed with Xu Qi ‘an’s suggestion. She seemed to have the same intention.

The two of them immediately left the ice cellar and saw the young eunuch’s figure in the distance. He had not left yet.

This little eunuch was quite honest … Xu Qi ‘an walked over and said, ” Princess huaiqing and I will be going out of the palace. You should go and rest first. Don’t be in a hurry to report today’s matter to His Majesty.
