The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
68. The culprit was revealed
Wei Qian Nian smiled faintly. He lowered his head so no one could see it. All plans will be completed from today. If today he managed to enter the residence of King Rui, he would handle Lu Jing Yu easily. A woman who has lost her child will be an unlucky and cursed woman. Pei Zhang Xi would not be foolish to take it for granted.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, let me ask everyone here about one thing before." Pei Zhang Xi stood up from his spot. Respect to the Emperor.
"What question is that?"
"I want to ask the ministers if anyone can tell me the reason for accepting Princess Eastern Chu as my concubine. Though everyone knows that I don't even have a residence to house it?" Pei Zhang Xi swept his gaze among the ministers. Minister Lu sighed. He didn't know this was good or bad for his daughter. The excessive affection might make people blame Lu Jing Yu for who the stubborn Pei Zhang Xi was at the moment.
"At this time King Rui has just lost his son. The servant realized it must be a heavy blow to a prospective father. But the issue of the imperial family's successor should continue. Empress Rui lost her son once and did not rule out the possibility of losing it again next time. As a prince, I sure as hell don't expect to have no offspring, right?" Minister Gu ventured and came forward to express his opinion.
"That's right, Your Majesty. The property of the husband belongs to the wife and vice versa. If Empress Rui understands the nature of a wife, I'm sure Empress Rui won't mind either. Princess Eastern Chu is kind and competent. Having a companion like this who helps him take care of the house and serve King Rui is a fortune."
After a brave person advances. Others will grow their courage. One by one they gave 'good' reasons and told Pei Zhang Xi if taking Web Qian Nian to be a concubine was the most appropriate decision. Some of them even suggested how to appease Lu Jing Yu to agree to this plan.
Minister Lu was a silent person from the very beginning. He continued to watch her daughter-in-law's expression elaborately.
"Haha. Are you guys done now?" Pei Zhang Xi patted his thigh as he asked. Everyone was surprised to see him laugh.
"It's enough to waste time here Raja Rui. This matter must be decided immediately." Pei An Long was not happy to see Pei Zhang Xi who kept playing around.
"All right, Your Majesty. I don't know where these ministers are hearing the wrong news about my wife. We have never lost a child and never will. So there is no reason to insist on inserting a concubine to pass on the line because of me, Pei Zhang Xi will only have descendants from Lu Jing Yu. My wife is still pregnant to this day. So apologize I still cannot accept this Eastern Chu princess into my residence."
Everyone looked at Pei Zhang Xi in surprise. The problem had reached like this was Pei Zhang Xi still able to play around?
Wei Qian Nian was the one who had the most shocked reaction among everyone. He was the one who set the plan well. The powder he had been preparing ever since he began to understand the intrigue within the palace. Understand how important heredity is to a prince.
His own servant who had made sure everything went his way. An Ru, was also no less surprised than her master. How could that possibly happen? Wasn't he himself the one who had given the medicine to Chu Fei. Then why?
"Why is Wei Qian Nian's daughter? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Ak...i.. I do not understand what His Majesty King Rui said? Didn't the news in the capital say that empress Rui had miscarried?" Wei Qian Nian did not expect that she would be offended in this matter.
"My residence never issued any news of my Empress's miscarriage. Where did this news come from?" Pei Zhang Xi's gaze stared intently at Wei Qian Nian who was starting to panic. How deeply the fifteen-year-old line understood the various tricks and intrigues, this was his first experience of being directly involved. He would not have enough courage to face the accusatory gazes that led to him.
"I don't know. I only heard it from the servants."
"Oohs... Mo Han bring them in." Everyone was shocked by the change in plot. What the hell is this really?
Only An Ru and Wei Qian Nian were now pale as they knew what was really going on.
Mo Han walked in with a few people walking behind him in fear. "This subordinate pays homage to the Emperor." Mo Han bowed his body as he reached the center of the hall.
"What is this Zhang Xi? What the hell is going on? Who're they?" Pei An Long stared at the puzzled people who were mas into the hall.
Hearing Pei Zhang Xi's words, everyone knelt down and began to raise their foreheads violently onto the floor. "Please forgive us Your Majesty. We're just people who get paid to spread it. We really don't know."
"Oh... So if anyone pays you to spread the death of His Majesty the Emperor, you will do it too?" Pei An Long hit the handle of his chair hard. It made everyone tremble in fear.
"No, Your Majesty. Nah! We wouldn't dare."
"Say who gave you the order?!" Pei An Long was furious.
"We didn't see his face clearly. But we can confirm that it's a girl."
"There's still something else, Your Majesty." Pei Zhang Xi interrupted before the Emperor responded to this.
"What else is it? Don't make everyone wonder."
"This hit is a news issue spreading in the capital. Actually a few days ago someone did intend to put the medicine into Yu'er's diet to abort the contents. Fortunately, bad things can be avoided. But one felt very confident that his plan had succeeded and acted impatiently to spread the terrible news."
"There's such a thing? Zhang Xi, how is your wife currently doing? Even though I didn't experience it it must have been very frightening." Queen Zhu covered her mouth with a fan as she was shocked.
"It's a good thing that Yu'er is blessed so that she and our baby are fine. Even Yu'er has made all the plans to catch the culprit." Pei Zhang Xi glanced at Wei Qian Nian as he spoke.
Wei Qian Nian gnashed his teeth as he glanced at An Ru with a blaming look. An Ru understood that this time they would not come off so easily from this case. And he understood the meaning of his master's gaze upon him. An Ru closed her eyes. Everything has reached this stage and they cannot go back.
"Mo Ting, bring Chu Fei in."
Chu Fei walked in with her head lowered. He knew at this moment he would not be able to run. If in the end he will be put to death here he will accept it. His crime of eliminating the descendants of members of the royal family was a grave mistake.
When Chu Fei entered, the robbers An Ru sent to eliminate Chu Fei were also led in. An Ru recognized the two and started shaking. This time his fate is over.
