Chapter 324 Zhou Tingxu steals the letter
Soon, Doctor Zhang arrived.
After checking Zhou Tingxu, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay!"
"She must have fainted from shock, the baby in her belly is fine!"
After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt relieved.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Tingxu on the bed, thinking.
If six people can't keep an eye on Zhou Tingxu, then she should consider other means.
At this moment, Xiao Lan came running over, "Prince, Princess, something bad has happened. The palace has learned about the fire in Prince Chu's mansion and has sent someone to summon you."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.
"You still want us to enter the palace so late?"
Xiao Lan nodded, "The people from the palace are just outside the Prince Chu's Mansion."
Qin Shuangchi's eyes darkened. "The palace is really well-informed. It must be because of Zhou Tingxu."
"I suspect we set the fire."
It is very rare for the palace to summon someone late at night. If it does, it is an extremely important matter.
I didn't expect that Zhou Tingxu and the baby in her belly would attract so much attention from the emperor.
Those who don’t know would think the child is the emperor’s.
After the two of them were dressed, they entered the palace.
I arrived at the emperor's bedroom late at night and the queen was there too.
It seemed that he had taken a rest but was alarmed by the fire in the Prince Chu's Mansion.
"There's a fire in Prince Chu's mansion? How's Zhou Tingxu? Is he okay?" the emperor asked with concern.
Qin Shuangchi replied: "The imperial physician has checked it out, and it's fine."
The emperor felt relieved and asked, "How could a fire break out for no apparent reason? Zhou Tingxu has only been living here for a few days, and something like this has happened?"
"Jiang Ningwan, how did you promise me?"
"This is Sixteen's only child right now. I will never allow anything to happen to this child!"
Jiang Ningwan explained, "The fire tonight is still under investigation. It might have been an accident."
"I promise that this will never happen again!"
The Queen advised in a heavy tone, "Jiang Ningwan, don't blame me for being nosy. Although you hold an official position, your real job is to take care of the King of Chu, look after the palace, and expand the family for the palace."
"Don't become arrogant and conceited just because you hold an official position, forgetting what you should and shouldn't do."
"No matter how much you dislike Tingxu, the child in her belly is the King of Chu's. You must treat him like your own child and take good care of him until he grows up."
The queen naggled for a long time, and Jiang Ningwan almost fell asleep.
I felt sleepy and my head drooped for a moment.
But the Queen saw it and angrily asked, "Jiang Ningwan, are you listening to me?"
"It's so arrogant!"
Jiang Ningwan suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
Who wouldn’t feel sleepy in the middle of the night?
Qin Shuangchi held her hand and glanced at the emperor, who was also feeling sleepy. "Ningwan has been taking care of Zhou Tingxu personally recently and is already very tired. The fire started tonight because Zhou Tingxu said he was cold, so Ningwan added an extra pot of charcoal and accidentally caused an accident."
"If she had the intention to harm Zhou Tingxu, why would she personally arrange all this and arouse suspicion?"
"I am guilty of disturbing my brother so late at night!"
"My brother has to go to court tomorrow, we..."
Hearing this, the Queen immediately interrupted him, "And you, Prince Chu, stop defending Jiang Ningwan all the time."
"Wrong is wrong."
"..."
The queen began a new round of lectures.
Even the King of Chu was not spared.
……
Prince Chu's Mansion.
Just as Jiang Ningwan and the others entered the palace, an assassin sneaked into the mansion.
A large number of guards went to capture the assassin.
Zhou Tingxu quietly left the room, and when no one was around, he approached the King of Chu's study and hid inside.
Qingyun lay on the bed covered with a quilt, pretending that Zhou Tingxu was still in bed.
After entering the study, Zhou Tingxu began to think and search.
After searching in the study for a long time, I finally found a few letters in a vase.
I opened it and took a look in the faint moonlight.
Suddenly I felt happy.
This is it!
It takes no effort at all!
Hearing footsteps outside, Zhou Tingxu didn't have time to continue searching other places, thinking that this should be enough to get the job done.
He immediately left the study.
He avoided the guards and maids in the mansion and returned to his room, his heart pounding.
"Miss, you're back!" Qingyun quickly got up from the bed.
Zhou Tingxu stuffed the item into her hands and said, "Hurry up and send it out! Be careful!"
Qingyun nodded, put it in her arms, and then left the room.
No one in the mansion cared about the whereabouts of a maid like her, so she left the Prince of Chu's mansion smoothly through the back door.
Run into the dim alley and meet Zhou Lin there.
"You got it so quickly?" Zhou Lin was a little surprised.
Qingyun nodded and handed the things to him. "The mansion is heavily guarded. Miss only got these."
Zhou Lin opened it and took a look, and it was enough.
"You should go back quickly and don't let the people in the mansion get suspicious." Zhou Lin put away his things and immediately turned around and went deep into the alley.
The rest is left to Jiang Xiru!
I hope she won't let everyone down!
……
The emperor's palace.
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi listened to the Queen's lecture for a long time, and it finally ended.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Qin Shuangchi bowed with her, stood up and was about to leave the room.
But at this moment, Jiang Xiru's voice was heard outside the bedroom: "Your Majesty! I demand to see Your Majesty! I have something important to report!"
Hearing the voice, the emperor frowned, "Hai Dehong, what's going on? What happened to Jiang Xiru in the middle of the night?"
Eunuch Hai hurried in, looking troubled. "The Crown Princess said she has an important case to report to His Majesty, and she insists on seeing Him!"
"I heard it was a major case of treason..."
As Eunuch Hai spoke, he glanced secretly at Qin Shuangchi and Jiang Ningwan.
When Jiang Ningwan met Eunuch Hai's gaze, her heart was shocked. Is it related to them?
When the emperor heard that it was a case of treason, he woke up completely awake.
"Let her in. I want to hear what major case of treason she wants to report." The emperor immediately sat up straight.
Eunuch Hai nodded in agreement and went out to pass on the message.
And immediately served tea to the emperor to wake him up.
Soon, Jiang Xiru limped in. The emperor couldn't help but frown. It was really ugly for the Crown Princess to look like this.
Jiang Xiru was so excited that she fell to her knees with a thud after taking a few steps.
Seeing that King Chu and Jiang Ningwan were also here, Jiang Xiru felt proud in her heart. It was just right. They had no chance to escape!
Zhou Tingxu is so quick!
Jiang Xiru said in a resounding voice, "This subject is accusing the King of Chu of treason!"
"He colluded with Ren Suhan, the commander of the Northern Territory, to murder loyal officials, commit corruption, and plot treason!"
"The Crown Prince's secret hoarding of gold must have been framed by the King of Chu! He's the only one who can obtain the weapons of Dayan!"
After hearing this, the emperor looked at the King of Chu in surprise.
Qin Shuangchi looked calm and composed.
The emperor spoke slowly, "Do you know what it means to slander the King of Chu? Do you have any evidence for what you say?"
Jiang Xiru immediately took out the letter and unfolded it.
"Your Majesty, please read this! This is a letter between the King of Chu and Ren Suhan. They clearly mentioned in the letter that they sold iron ore for 130,000 taels and that it had been secretly delivered to the King of Chu's private residence outside Kyoto!"
"He smuggled iron ore and embezzled 130,000 taels!"
