The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Two hours later, Cheng Qi and the magistrate of Wanyuan County stood in front of him.

Cheng Qi felt sorry for Yun Zhining's experience and didn't want her to bear so much but not get any sympathy, so he told Qi Yejing everything.

"That night, the queen was resting in her room when she suddenly heard footsteps outside. She woke up instantly and quickly took out the life-saving weapon that Concubine Qi had given her and prepared herself."

"Fortunately, the murderer behind the scenes thought that she was a woman in the deep palace, who only had wisdom and no fighting power, so he only sent five people. The queen hid in the dark and defeated them one by one, thus avoiding danger."

"Otherwise, by the time we find her, she will have already become a corpse."

"But just when we thought the incident was over, a man suddenly jumped out from outside and threw a lime bullet into the queen's eyes. The lime bullet melted as soon as it touched the queen's eyes, and the queen fainted from the pain."

"Later, Doctor Chen came and tried to drain some of the lime from the queen's eyes. But lime is so tiny that once it enters the eyes, it will dissolve quickly. There is no way to drain it all out, so the queen's eyes have always been a hidden danger."

"She didn't tell you because she was afraid you would worry, and she was even more afraid that you would blame yourself for it."

"So it's better for the emperor to know, but it's better not to say it in front of the queen, so as not to increase her psychological burden."

The corners of Qi Yejing's mouth curled up slightly, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"You seem to care about Ming Xiurong. You even consider her psychological burden."

"Your Majesty is in control of the whole world. You must know the relationship between me and Ming Xiurong."

"If it weren't for the Yun Fulan incident, Ming Xiurong would have been my legally wedded wife."

"But it's not what we want, we are not meant to be together, so we can only accept the reality."

"If you say that, aren't you afraid that I will suspect the relationship between you and Ming Xiurong?"

Cheng Qi shook his head.

"My humble servant and Ming Xiurong are innocent, so I am not afraid of the emperor's suspicion."

"To be honest, Your Majesty, when Ming Xiurong took the eldest princess and Concubine Zhou to the street to buy things, they were mocked by a little girl, saying that the emperor didn't want them anymore and that they could only stay in that small town and wait to die. I asked Ming Xiurong if she had thought about what to do in the future."

"Ming Xiurong said with a smile. She believed that the emperor was just in trouble for a while. After solving those troubles, he would definitely take her and the eldest princess back to the palace. He would never abandon them and let them wait to die in the small town."

"At that moment, I knew that Ming Xiurong loved the emperor deeply and would never have anything happen to me."

"So, I, your humble servant, will abide by my duty, do things for Your Majesty, and protect Ming Xiurong for Your Majesty. That is enough."

"very good!"

Qi Yejing was very satisfied with his answer.

"Don't worry, no matter who says bad things about you two in front of me, I won't believe it."

"In that case, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your wise judgment."

After briefly chatting about personal matters, Qi Yejing returned to the main topic.

"I suspected at the time that this was done by a certain lady in the palace, so even though the six assassins were killed by Ming Xiurong, I still led people to search their bodies."

"Hard work pays off. I found a red flower mark on the soles of their feet."

He presented the finished drawing to Qi Yejing.

Qi Yejing frowned slightly after reading it.

"If I remember correctly, when I first ascended the throne, there was a private organization among the people called Red Flower Hall, which held high the banner of rebellion against me. However, some changes occurred within the Red Flower Hall a year ago, and then it disappeared. Why did it appear again now?"

"In fact, there has never been any change within Honghuatang. The reason for such rumors is that the emperor supervised Honghuatang too much during that period. Prince Rong was worried about exposing his whereabouts, so he used such means to reduce the emperor's attention to Honghuatang."

"etc,……"

The amount of information was too large and Qi Yejing couldn't react for a while.

"You mean, the master behind Honghuatang is actually Prince Rong?"

"According to the information I have currently obtained, Prince Rong should be hiding in Honghua Hall."

"Even if the master behind Honghuatang is not Prince Rong, it should be related to Prince Rong."

"No wonder I couldn't find Prince Rong's whereabouts. It turns out he has been hiding in Honghua Hall."

After solving a big problem, Qi Yejing looked at Cheng Qi with more and more appreciation.

"Cheng Qi, Cheng Qi, I was right about you. With you here, everything can be figured out."

"The former commander of the Imperial Guards will return to his hometown to mourn for his father and will not be back for three years. The border has been relatively stable recently. How about you temporarily take over the position of commander of the Imperial Guards? If you find a suitable candidate later, or if there are changes in the border, you can do what you should do. How about that?"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor."

"No courtesy, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Qi stood up and stood aside, leaving the seat to the county magistrate of Wanyuan County.

Seeing that Qi Yejing was in a good mood at the moment, the county magistrate of Wanyuan County quickly presented him with what he had found out.

"After receiving the emperor's secret order, I led people to conduct strict interrogations and finally got some clues from Ge Da's daughter."

"That day, she wanted to trick the princess out and beat her up, but she accidentally ran into the assassins who were trying to kill Ming Xiurong. She accidentally heard the name Shufei, so I sent someone to investigate. It turned out that a housekeeper from Shufei's family was away during those days, and he went to Wanyuan County."

"I have sent people to capture him. After interrogation, he has admitted that it was Concubine Shu who sent a message to her father, and then her father asked him to bribe the people in Honghuatang to assassinate Ming Xiurong."

"In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, he also took those people to take a look at Ming Xiurong, to find out where Ming Xiurong lived and the times of his three meals a day, and only then did he determine the time for the action."

"What a great Concubine Shu! In order to eliminate Ming Xiurong, she actually did not hesitate to mobilize so many people. She is very capable."

"Dong Ling, they both found out everything. What about you? Don't tell me that it's been almost half a month, and you still haven't found out who did something to the Queen Mother?"

"this,……"

Dong Ling glanced at Cheng Qi and the Wanyuan County Magistrate and said in a low voice.

"This was also done by Concubine Shu."

"Bang bang bang!"

The noise lasted for half an hour, and when it ended, the imperial study had been smashed to pieces by Qi Yejing.
