Chapter 367: Everything is right, weighing the pros and cons
The guards of the *** Mansion did not gain any benefits.
The news quickly reached the Queen Mother.
"How dare they! These two people are so lawless! They dared to fight in the mansion of the ***!" The Queen Mother was furious, "Go and call the Emperor."
As soon as the Empress Dowager's people delivered the message to the Imperial Study, Chao Sihai received the news from outside the palace and immediately stepped forward to explain the situation to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the people from the Prince's Mansion and the *** Mansion are fighting."
"No wonder the Queen Mother is so angry. Xiao Yan'an is getting bolder and bolder! He dares to break into the Forbidden Palace, and he doesn't even dare to knock on the door of the Queen's Mansion! Does he not care about me anymore?"
Chao Sihai didn't dare to respond.
"Why did they fight?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
"This matter has to start from a few days ago. The Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince went to visit ***'s house and found Shen Chengjing there. It seemed that he was flirting with the Crown Prince's concubine. The Crown Prince happened to see it, and he and Shen Chengjing had a big fight."
"Shen Chengjing?" The emperor didn't think of who this person was for a moment.
"That's the person that the Crown Prince's wife Ji Chuhe was originally going to marry." Chao Sihai explained hurriedly.
"He is the best." The emperor responded calmly, "Go on."
"As soon as the wife of the prince saw Shen Chengjing, she pointed out that Shen Chengjing was the murderer, saying that Shen Chengjing killed her sister Ji Qingyuan, and then asked the emperor to send Shen Chengjing to the government office. Shen Chengjing had just become the emperor's disciple not long ago, and he also asked the emperor to make the decision to let the Huaiyang Palace return his wife! He said that he was also a victim in the marriage exchange, and that Ji Qingyuan drugged him before they had their wedding night. He also said that Ji Qingyuan was worthless, and he also wanted the prince to return his wife, who is now the prince's wife Ji Chuhe."
"He still wants Ji Chuhe?" The emperor's tone was filled with disdain.
"Of course the prince refused, and both sides insisted on their own opinions. The prince's wife went to the government office to report the case, and the empress bailed out Shen Chengjing. It seems that she really wants to defend Shen Chengjing and reply to his wife."
"What's the reason for the fight today?"
"The Crown Prince and his wife pulled the coffin and led the funeral procession to the empress's mansion to hold Ji Qingyuan's funeral. The empress was furious and ordered the guards to arrest the two people. The Crown Prince and his wife also came prepared and brought guards with them, so the two sides started fighting."
"You are all members of the royal family, aren't you afraid of bringing shame upon yourself and disgracing your royal identity!" the emperor shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, the news has already reached the Empress Dowager. Given the love that the Empress Dowager has for me, she will definitely not let me suffer such a great injustice. Your Majesty, if you go there now, you must give an explanation to the Empress Dowager." Chao Sihai reminded him in a low voice.
The emperor felt upset.
From the very beginning, the Queen Mother took action to grant Xiao Yan'an a marriage and held Xiao Yan'an as a hostage in the imperial capital. This was all a plan they had discussed.
Ji Chuhe is too smart and has the talent to govern the world. Such a person must not stay with Xiao Yanan.
The Queen Mother and the *** teamed up to deal with Ji Chuhe, and the Emperor acquiesced.
The last time, he asked the miracle doctor to leave the palace to treat Ji Chuhe because he didn't want Ji Chuhe to die like this.
He was very curious about what kind of surprise this weak woman could give him.
This surprise was beyond his expectations.
From this point of view, *** cannot defeat her.
Even the Queen Mother would not be Ji Chuhe's opponent if she did not use her status and power to suppress Ji Chuhe.
He could no longer allow the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager to target Ji Chuhe like this.
It looked like a farce, but in fact, it secretly had an impact on the situation in the court.
The situation in the court deviated from his previous plan. He originally wanted to move the Rongguo Mansion, which did not have that much power, to test the reactions of the powerful families. However, in the end, it was the Luo family that he moved.
The Luo family's power was so intertwined that any small move could have an impact on the entire family, leading to major changes within the court.
Open the bow without turning back the arrow.
In the current situation, we can only move forward.
He asked Marquis Wuyang to offer a strategy for governing the country based on the current situation in the court.
The strategy was presented to him.
He looked at it and found that it coincided with his previous plan.
He planned to implement the strategy proposed by Marquis Wuyang.
Once the new policy is implemented, all powerful and aristocratic families will be affected, including the Cao family.
I’m afraid that the first person to object will be the Queen Mother.
Ji Chuhe also chose the right timing.
Otherwise, based on what she did today, the Queen Mother would definitely take the opportunity to abolish her position as the Crown Prince's Wife.
"Chao Sihai, go to the Queen Mother's Palace and tell her that I have understood the matter clearly and I will handle it properly."
"Yes." Chao Sihai responded immediately.
……
*** was anxiously waiting for news at home.
If the emperor had not banned her from traveling, she would have immediately gone to the palace to ask her mother for an imperial decree to mobilize people and arrest Ji Chuhe!
"Is there no news from the palace? How come it's been so long and there is still no movement!"
"Reply ***, no news yet."
"Just wait, the emperor will definitely send the inner court guards to arrest Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe and interrogate them!" Just as *** finished speaking, a servant hurried in.
"***, the emperor's order has arrived, please go and receive it as soon as possible."
*** couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"Wouldn't it be enough for the emperor to just order the arrest of Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe? Why would he give me an order?"
No one has a good answer to the question.
*** had no choice but to go to the front yard to receive the order with a lot of questions in his mind.
"Your servant greets His Highness." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict immediately stepped forward and saluted when he saw His Highness.
"What is the emperor's order?" *** took the imperial edict in her hand without waiting for the eunuch to read it out and read the content herself. After reading the content, her face was as ugly as it could be!
"The Emperor actually wants me to cooperate with the government office in handling the case and send Shen Chengjing to the government office! What if Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe are brought to the princess's mansion? Won't the Emperor punish them?"
At this moment, *** even suspected that this imperial edict was fake.
"In reply to your question, the Emperor already knows the whole story. The Emperor also said that the Crown Prince and his wife did not break into your mansion, but only had a conflict with your guards outside the mansion. The Crown Prince is also your nephew, and it is normal for a family to have some minor conflicts. You are also responsible for this matter. However, human lives are at stake, so please distinguish between the priorities."
*** laughed angrily.
What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Why did the attitude suddenly change so much?
"Impossible! I don't believe the emperor would say such a thing! I want to go to the palace to see the emperor now!"
"Please stay! You are still under house arrest by the Emperor. You cannot leave the palace. Otherwise, you will be disobeying the Emperor's order."
"Get out of here! How dare you stop me?"
