Chapter 293: Secret Guard
Lan Jieyu held back her almost irrepressible smile and stood in the yard watching all this happen.
After being suppressed by Wen Cairen for so many years, she finally got the position of mistress and still had to endure this bitch's temper. According to Lan Jieyu's position, she could suppress her, but she still had to consider her family.
Now seeing that she had finally surrendered, with a look on her face as if a fly had been eaten, Lan Jieyu felt so relieved.
Zhu Wanxi naturally did everything well when he was working for Emperor Yongjia.
So when Wen Cairen was taken out of her own palace, Zhu Wanxi didn't put anything in her mouth, but just let her talk and shout to attract more people's attention.
Wen Cairen was taken to the cold palace, a distance that spanned most of the harem. She pleaded for mercy as she walked, and there was no need for anyone else to pass on the message. Her words alone had spread throughout the harem.
Everyone was wondering, weren't they still looking for trouble with Qin Zhaoyi yesterday? Wasn't Qin Zhaoyi confined by the Eastern Queen Mother because she made a mistake?
Why did they arrest Wen Cairen today?
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the palace. No one knew what kind of big thing was going to happen, but no one dared to ask too much, because they were all going to be banished to the cold palace, which was almost a death sentence.
Emperor Yongjia's actions were enough to give Qin Liuse face.
Qin Liuse also heard about this in her own palace.
Last night, Emperor Yongjia coaxed her and said that he would give her an explanation, but Qin Liuse didn't expect that the explanation would come so soon.
Since it came so quickly, it was obvious that Emperor Yongjia had known about it and had made preparations long ago.
For a moment, Qin Liuse couldn't help feeling secretly delighted, the corners of her mouth curled up wildly, and she touched her belly.
Thinking about this Wen Cairen, it was all her own fault. If she wasn't so aggressive and wanted to frame me, so many things wouldn't have happened.
However, although Qin Liuse knew that she used the villain to prick her with needles to frame her, she was unaware of other things.
For example, the matter of the Imperial Observatory and why she could come up with such an idea, Qin Liuse was puzzled. The Imperial Observatory served the royal family and was not easy to bribe.
But after Wen Cairen was arrested, news soon spread in the harem.
No one knew who released the news, but it spread throughout the harem in just one day.
When Qin Liuse heard the rumors coming from outside, he thought to himself that it must be the rumors spread by Emperor Yongjia's people, otherwise how would others know so many details.
It was said that Concubine Wen believed in the evil ways outside the palace, and asked someone to make a doll with Qin Liuse's horoscope on it, and hid the doll under the bed to frame Concubine Qin Zhaoyi.
Moreover, nothing that the Imperial Observatory said or did in the palace could be believed, because the Imperial Observatory was a distant relative of Wen Cairen.
This time he also informed the Wen family and joined forces to frame Qin Liuse and help their Wen family take a high position.
Emperor Yongjia naturally did not let go of the Imperial Observatory. This person who was in charge of asking God for advice on matters of national destiny actually spoke nonsense because of his own selfish desires.
Emperor Yongjia was furious and ordered the arrest of the Imperial Observatory and handing it over to the Dali Temple for handling.
And the talented Wen was sent to the cold palace with great fanfare, never to see the light of day again.
Even when he was captured, he didn't even have the chance to see the emperor.
The reason why the princes and princesses had stomachaches and discomfort that day was because of what happened when the wet nurse and the maid took the princes and princesses to the Four Seasons Garden.
It was hot at that time, and Four Seasons Garden was close to Wen Cairen's place. Wen Cairen was generous and said that the weather was hot, so he treated them to an ice bowl.
The servants were so hot that they started eating at the side after being invited by Wen Cairen's men.
And just when they were not paying attention, Wen Cairen's people secretly gave each of the princes and princesses a piece of maltose.
Children love sweet things, so of course they like maltose. They ate it immediately, and the maltose was naturally tampered with.
So not long after returning to their respective palaces that day, all the princes and princesses who had eaten the maltose had diarrhea.
When Qin Liuse heard the news, she felt that it was not a pity for this talented person Wen to die.
If those princes and princesses were in poor health and someone died after eating these things, how would she pay for it?
But Wen Cairen's plan was so precise that he almost tricked her into it.
That night, Emperor Yongjia came to the Zhaoyang Palace to accompany Qin Liuse. Qin Liuse was thinking about this matter and became a little depressed.
Holding Emperor Yongjia in her arms, she sighed and said, "If the truth of this matter is not revealed later, then I am really powerless to do anything."
If she didn't know that Wen Cairen had placed people in her palace and wanted to put those villains in her palace.
If Emperor Yongjia had not known that the Imperial Observatory was a relative of her Wen family, clues would have been revealed long ago.
If Concubine Xiao De hadn't known to send someone outside the palace to inform Emperor Yongjia, she would have been doomed.
After becoming a mother, Qin Liuse is indeed more sentimental than before.
However, Emperor Yongjia shook his head after hearing her words, "That's not the case. Even if this game of chess comes to the last move, I can still keep you safe."
Qin Liuse pouted. At this moment, she was lying in the arms of Emperor Yongjia. They sat cross-legged on a rattan chair in the yard, looking at the moon in the sky and talking.
Qin Liuse heard this, raised her head and pouted at Emperor Yongjia, "Your Majesty, just coax me."
Isn't it just to take care of her mentality that you say such nice things?
Emperor Yongjia pinched her cheek and smiled, "You don't trust me so much? Didn't I tell you to trust me unconditionally?"
Qin Liuse puffed up her cheeks. With so many thrilling moments, how could she say that she completely believed this sentence?
Isn't this just a coaxing statement?
Now that she is a mother, Qin Liuse will think of the worst outcome for many things.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongjia touched his brow, put one hand on her abdomen and gently touched it, sniffing the fragrance on her head, and said, "I want you to trust me, just give everything to me and it will be over."
In fact, Emperor Yongjia had not originally intended to tell Qin Liuse about these things, but seeing how uneasy she was and that she didn't quite trust him, he had no choice but to tell her everything and some of his arrangements.
Emperor Yongjia kissed her slender white fingers and said, "I knew it when I entered the palace that day."
He knew that it was Concubine Wen who gave maltose to the princes and princesses, and that the princes and princesses also had herbal tea at Qin Liuse's place. He also knew that the Imperial Observatory was a distant relative of the Wen family.
When Qin Liuse heard this, she was like a chicken with its feathers blown off, and almost jumped up from Emperor Yongjia.
However, Qin Liuse did not jump up, but just sat up straight.
He turned around and looked at Emperor Yongjia angrily, "Your Majesty, if you knew everything, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
And he's still going around in circles with them in Changxin Palace.
Emperor Yongjia touched his nose and said calmly, "I want to see how evil other people are."
There was indeed something unseemly and uncouth about what Emperor Yongjia said.
But he did plan to do so. Ever since Qin Liuse became pregnant, although he did not show it, he was worried and uneasy in his heart.
I know Qin Liuse is recruiting people.
In addition, he grew up in the harem and had seen concubines fighting with each other, and murder was a common occurrence.
Therefore, it was natural to know that Qin Liuse was pregnant and how others might design to frame her.
So ever since Qin Liuse became pregnant, Emperor Yongjia sent secret guards to follow Qin Liuse.
The secret guard was naturally a female guard.
He stayed in a place where no one could see him all day long, so he knew everything that happened in Zhaoyang Palace, including what the princes and princesses ate and did.
And because he felt guilty towards the eldest prince and felt sorry for him for losing his mother at a young age, the eldest prince was also surrounded by secret guards.
