The Miracle Doctor’s Two-Faced Toddler

Chapter 256 [V113] Ninth Brother's Means (Third Watch)

Soon Yu Wan found that she didn't have time to worry about her second brother's mood, because Uncle Wan brought back a big piece of news - the marriage of Princess Xiongnu was settled, and her fiancé was the fifth prince.

It's not too surprising, there are only three princes of the right age, the biological mothers of the second prince and the fourth prince are both high-ranking concubines, the birth mother of the fifth prince is a jade concubine, her status is not valuable enough, the mother's family is not strong, and the fifth prince himself has no With the ambition of seizing the heir, no matter how you look at it, he is the most suitable candidate.

In order to express how much he valued this marriage, the emperor named the fifth prince as King Cheng. The fifth prince was the first of several brothers. However, he was not happy because he was going to marry a fierce woman from the Huns.

The wedding is scheduled for next month, and Yu Wan, as the bride of the royal family, will attend the wedding banquet that day, which means that she has a lot of rules to learn, and the intensity is no less than that of her second brother entering the Imperial College.

But this news has not yet been digested, and an even more shocking thing came out of the palace in the early morning of the next day-Fengqi Palace was flooded.

The fire broke out in the dead of night, and all the palace people took a rest. When they discovered that the fire had spread to the Queen's bedroom, the bedroom was burned down, and the Queen was also injured. The huge Fengqi Palace was turned into ruins in the fire.

When Yu Wan heard about it from Uncle Wan, she was standing in the front yard picking flowers, and she wanted the kitchen to cook some rose marinade for the three little guys.

She stopped holding the scissors, and asked Uncle Wan, "Where is the queen now?"

Uncle Wan replied: "Temporarily lived in Zhaoyang Palace."

The conversation with Yan Jiuchao in the palace suddenly flashed in Yu Wan's mind——

"She wants us to help her get out of Fengqi Palace."

"It's not difficult, you go and talk to the queen, within three days, you can do what she wants."

After counting, today happened to be the third day.

There is no such a coincidence in the world, the flooding of Fengxi Palace must be Yan Jiuchao's handwriting, she had secretly guessed what method Yan Jiuchao would use, but she did not expect such a simple and rude move, and set Fengqi on fire. In the palace, the queen who had "didn't see the sun" for ten years finally came out openly.

This method sounds simple, but it is not so easy to set off such a big fire in the palace without anyone noticing.

"Your young master is really..." Yu Wan couldn't help smiling, she didn't know how to describe Yan Jiuchao, but it was undeniable that she was amazed by him again.

This is just the beginning, although Yan Jiuchao helped the queen get out of Fengqi Palace, but whether she can stay outside all the time depends on the queen's own ability.

I hope she will not disappoint her and Yan Jiuchao.

In the sleeping hall of Zhaoyang Palace, female doctors came out with bloody water. The emperor walked in, looked at the imperial physician who was kneeling in front of the bed and changed the queen's dressing, and said, "How is the queen?"

The imperial physician turned around, saluted and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, the empress is seriously injured, and I dare not jump to conclusions for the time being."

The emperor frowned.

Eunuch Wang winked at the imperial physician, and the imperial physician picked up the medicine box and went out together with Eunuch Wang, and the palace people also retreated tactfully, leaving only the emperor and the dying queen in the huge bedroom.

The emperor came to the bed and stood quietly for a while, the queen coughed, the emperor frowned, stretched out his hand, but before touching the queen, he saw the queen wake up leisurely.

The queen opened her eyes weakly, looked at the man in the bright yellow dragon robe and said, "...Your Majesty?"

Her voice is hoarse and her lips are dry. She has already passed the age of pearls and jade, and she is aging a little bit under the embarrassing injuries.

There is never a shortage of women in the harem, but there is only one wife.

The emperor may not love the queen, but the queen is orthodox, which is incomparable to any concubine.

"How is the queen feeling?" the emperor asked coldly.

The queen said weakly: "Your Majesty was shocked, and my concubine is fine."

The emperor frowned and said, "The maid said you had already escaped, why did you rush back?"

The queen looked at the emperor affectionately, and raised her arm under the quilt with difficulty.

The emperor noticed her clenched fist and stretched out his hand subconsciously. The queen put a palm-sized purse in his hand.

This purse has been around for some years, the corners are all hairy, the color has faded, and the embroidery on the surface has become extremely smooth, it can be seen that it is often touched by people.

The emperor opened the purse, and inside were two bundles of hair tied together with red strings.

His heart seemed to be hit by something, and his thoughts instantly returned to the night when he and the empress were married many years ago. At that time, he was not even a prince, but a weakling who had just emerged from the cold palace and had no solid foundation in the court. The prince, she is the daughter of the grand master of the dynasty, he favored her, he still remembers the way she cut off a bundle of black hair on his head, she was frightened, and asked himself if she cut too much?

He saw her carefully tidy up the hair of the two of them and put it into this pouch, showing a bright girlish smile.

"Why do you..." The emperor's throat moved, "Run back for this thing?"

The queen's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of her lips: "I don't regret it, I will be married to Your Majesty, and I will die without regret."

The emperor squeezed his purse tightly, and took a deep breath: "Don't talk about being discouraged, I will let the imperial physician heal you."

The queen really didn't say another word of frustration, she just looked at the emperor fixedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor took the purse away.

The queen knew she had won her bet.

As soon as the emperor left the bedroom of Zhaoyang Palace, the affection on the queen's face disappeared. In the sky, she returned to her indifferent expression.

Just showing a little compassion is certainly not enough for the emperor to forgive the queen's crimes, but when the emperor asked people to thoroughly investigate the cause of the flood in Fengqi Palace, there were some rumors in private in the palace.

"Have you heard? Liu Guiren was originally raising a baby in the bedroom. It was the concubine Xian who asked her to go to the Royal Garden. If she didn't go to the Royal Garden, she wouldn't have eaten that poisonous snack. She and her belly Your prince may survive."

"Is there anything else like that?"

"The person who suffered the disaster should be Concubine Xu Xian, but Concubine Xu Xian chose Liu Guiren as the dead ghost."

"Is she so vicious? If someone wants to harm her, she just exposes it. Why do you want to frame the innocent Liu Guiren?"

"Liu Guiren and the Empress are very close. Back then we all suspected that the Empress was pretending to treat Liu Guiren favorably, but in reality she was looking for an opportunity to assassinate Liu Guiren's womb. Now it seems that we were all wrong."

That's right, they didn't have a chance to prove it. These gossips reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor ordered a few disgruntled court ladies to be dragged out and killed with sticks. Since then, no one in the palace dared to criticize this matter, but the rumors Although it was suppressed, the seeds in the emperor's heart quietly germinated.

"Yes, the poison was given by the concubine, but the concubine did not want to harm Liu Guiren's dragon fetus! The concubine is the queen, and your majesty's children are also the concubine's children. Why does the concubine want to harm her own child? A mere nobleman, the concubine will So what if she snatched her son and raised her? Who can say anything? Liu Guiren's fetus poses no threat to the concubine, and the concubine has no reason to harm him!"

These were the exact words of the empress back then. The emperor could not accept that his meek and virtuous wife turned into a femme fatale, and was also annoyed at her arrogance inside and outside of her words. No matter who her real victim was, he didn't want to forgive her.

It's not that the queen has never accused Concubine Xu Xian, but Liu Guiren's personal maid testified that Liu Guiren went to the imperial garden by herself and had nothing to do with anyone. Therefore, the emperor believed that the queen poisoned Liu Guiren first and framed Concubine Xu Xian later.

"When did the rumors about Concubine Xu Xian and Liu Guiren spread?" the emperor asked.

"Two days before the fire." Eunuch Wang said.

"Have you found the arsonist?"

"I found it, it's a hidden guard, he said..."

"I didn't have time to say it, I took poison and committed suicide."

If the hidden guards bit Concubine Xu Xian, it would make the emperor suspicious, but he died without saying a word...

The emperor was thoughtful: "What do you think?"

"Slave dare not speak nonsense." Eunuch Wang said in a low voice.

"Say it if you tell me!" the emperor said coldly.

"...Yes." Eunuch Wang broke into a cold sweat, "This slave thinks that if it is true as the rumors say, the Empress Dowager really wanted to murder Concubine Xian back then, but Xu Xian figured it out first and took Liu Guiren as a scapegoat, then Concubine Xian The scheming is a little scary."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "So you mean this time it's not the Queen's trick, but Xianfei's handiwork? Xianfei heard the rumors and thought that Liu Guiren's affairs would not be kept secret. She was worried that the Queen would return to her favour, so she simply gave up. Why don't you just set fire to the queen?"

Eunuch Wang didn't say yes or no, he just sighed slowly: "The queen has been out of favor for ten years, she can't put out such a fire."

"But what if someone releases it for her?" the emperor said coldly.

Eunuch Wang frowned.

The emperor slapped the table and said, "Call me that brat!"

Eunuch Wang went to the Young Master's Mansion with a headache, and invited this little ancestor to the Imperial Study Room.

"Young master, you...you can't do it all day without causing trouble?"

Eunuch Wang is about to kneel down to Yan Jiuchao, if he doesn't go to the house for a day, he must be talking about him!

"Your Majesty is inside, you, you go in." Eunuch Wang sent him to the door of the imperial study, and retreated with a sigh.

Yan Jiuchao was sitting in a wheelchair, looking like a big daddy.

The emperor became angry when he saw him, and when he remembered what he had done, he became even more angry. He glanced at his wheelchair and said, "Have you pretended enough?!"

"No." Yan Jiuchao said.

The emperor picked up an inkstone and was about to greet Yan Jiuchao's forehead. Eunuch Wang ran in in shock: "You must smash it! Your Majesty, calm down!"

The emperor was trembling with anger, threw the inkstone, and sat down: "Speak! Did you set the fire in Fengqi Palace?!"

"yes."

Admit it very simply.

The emperor who tried a hundred ways to extract a confession: "..."

Eunuch Wang didn't see it, he was short-sighted, and he admitted it before he was sentenced?

The emperor suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice, "Why did you do this?"

Yan Jiuchao remained silent.

Emperor Kongang glared and said: "Yan Jiuchao, I can give you a princess right now!"

"For the golden seal." Yan Jiuchao said with a compromised face.

The emperor's anger just stopped, and he frowned complicatedly: "You mean...the empress threatens you with the golden seal?"

Yan Jiuchao sighed, "Threats don't count, just deals."

The emperor gritted his teeth: "In my harem, making deals with my women, Yan Jiuchao, you have the guts to admit it!"

Yan Jiuchao didn't speak.

The emperor snorted coldly: "But there is nothing you can do if you don't admit it. You set off such a big fire in my harem, do you really think that I can't find out? I don't understand. For a woman, you... you really... Care about him so much?"

"Has Your Majesty never cared so much about someone?" Yan Jiuchao asked back.

The emperor was questioned.

This may be the madness in the bones of their family. Back then, for King Yan...

The emperor closed his eyes and forced himself not to recall the incident with the late emperor. He changed the subject and his voice became haggard: "...how could the empress be such a person?"

A moment ago, he was moved by the fact that she snatched the wedding gift of the two in the fire, but now that he learned that everything was a calculation, he felt an indescribable feeling of embarrassment.

I thought that even though she did something wrong, she was at least sincere towards him...

Now it seems that he is stupid.

"How will Uncle Huang punish me?"

"Of course I will punish you!"

He just didn't think about how to punish him, he was in a terrible mood, he told Yan Jiuchao to go back to the Young Master's Mansion first, and he was not allowed to step out of the mansion without his will.

On the way to send Yan Jiuchao out of the palace, Eunuch Wang said earnestly, "Young Master, why do you want to confess? Your Majesty can't actually find out about you, old slave... this old slave will try to speak well for you."

Yan Jiuchao didn't answer his question, but asked instead: "Eunuch Wang, do you know why His Majesty hasn't dealt with the Queen for so many years, but kept the Queen confined in Fengqi Palace?"

Eunuch Wang thought for a while: "Your Majesty is concerned about the relationship between husband and wife back then."

Yan Jiuchao nodded: "That's right, so His Majesty can't be cruel to the Queen, nor can he bear to use the Queen, but from today, His Majesty will have the heart."

His Majesty will still let the Queen regain his favor, but not because of the reunion, but to check and balance Concubine Xu Xian.

For Yan Jiuchao, a favored queen and a pawn queen, of course, the latter is easier to manipulate.

Eunuch Wang, who would feel overwhelmed, sighed coldly on the soles of his feet: "The young master's heart is really hard."
