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.
