This includes the courtyard of Crown Prince Chen Shou.
Emperor Taihe sat on the dragon bed in a daze for a long time before he asked with a sullen face, "Is there anyone alive in Duke Cheng'en's mansion?"
As soon as Xie Ying woke up, she saw Situ Yuan staring at her.
One look at his eyes showed that he must have guessed what she had done last night.
But Xie Ying didn't feel guilty at all and even rolled her eyes at him.
Situ Yuan: “…”
He was speechless. This was Huaqing Palace, not his home, and there were palace servants guarding him all around. There were many things he couldn't say out loud and had to keep them in his heart.
At this time, Yang Tao came over and said, "Yingying, you're finally awake. It's already daybreak!"
He and Situ Yuan also had breakfast with Concubine Jiang.
As a result, Xie Ying didn't wake up until now.
She can really sleep.
Yang Tao secretly complained in his heart, but looking at Xie Ying's plump and cute appearance, he suddenly thought: Yingying is so well-behaved, it doesn't matter if she sleeps a little longer.
Situ Yuan asked someone to feed Xie Ying, and then the two continued to play with Yang Tao.
Of course, it was mainly Situ Yuan who guided Yang Tao to play and talked to him, while Xie Ying sat beside him in a daze.
She doesn't have time to look after the children today. She has to keep an eye on the situation with Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang.
Last night, Empress Chen plotted against Emperor Taihe, and something big happened in the Cheng'en Mansion. Today, not only is Emperor Taihe busy, but Concubine Jiang and the eldest princess also have a lot of things to do.
The two of them have to manage the harem and thoroughly investigate Queen Chen's minions.
Originally, Emperor Taihe handed this matter over to Concubine Jiang, but out of caution, she deliberately dragged the eldest princess into the water and asked her to join her in a thorough investigation of the harem.
Although the eldest princess was somewhat reluctant, she was also worried that Concubine Jiang would do something, so she had no choice but to agree.
Since they were so busy, they naturally had no time to accompany the three children, so they could only ask their trusted subordinates to watch over them carefully.
Fortunately, Situ Yuan and Xie Ying were not ordinary kids. Not only did they not cry or fight, Situ Yuan also tricked Yang Tao into saying many things, tricking the kid into focusing on his toys and not caring about Concubine Li anymore.
Xie Ying secretly sent Xiangxiang to keep an eye on Emperor Taihe, and through empathy, she quickly learned about the situation on Emperor Taihe's side.
Emperor Taihe slept too late last night, so he canceled today's premature birth and wanted to sleep in.
Unfortunately, there was a fire in Duke Cheng’en’s mansion last night, and there was also the roar of explosives. How could the news be concealed?
The neighbors nearby were awakened and learned about this incident.
Those who lived farther away, even if they didn't know the situation at the time, found out later.
What's more, most of the ministers had to pass through the Cheng'en Mansion when entering the palace for the morning court.
Although Emperor Taihe had cancelled the morning court session, he couldn't go door to door to announce the news. He could only wait until the ministers entered the palace and then tell them that the morning court session had been cancelled.
So the ministers still got up early as usual and went to the palace to prepare for court.
Then when they were riding in their own carriage and approaching the Cheng'en Mansion, they could smell a burnt smell in the air from afar.
Then, these people learned that there was a fire in Cheng'en Mansion last night.
This incident quickly aroused public outrage.
Many people were unaware of the evil deeds done by the Chen family. When they heard that the Cheng'en Mansion was on fire, they thought that the Black Kirin Guards had deliberately set the fire and wanted to kill people to silence them.
So when they arrived at the palace gate, ready to impeach severely during the morning court, but after learning that Emperor Taihe had canceled the morning court today, they became even more suspicious of Emperor Taihe, suspecting that he had ordered the Black Kirin Guards to set fire and kill people for Concubine Jiang.
When Emperor Taihe finally woke up, he not only heard from Wang Zhi about the fire in Duke Cheng'en's mansion last night, but also learned that many ministers were refusing to leave the palace and wanted to see him.
Emperor Taihe: “!!!”
He felt a black screen before his eyes and he wanted to fall back asleep!
What made him even more upset was that there was a big fire in the Cheng'en Mansion last night, and there was even the sound of gunpowder explosion!
