Chapter 297: The dust has settled
Soon, the matter was settled.
The emperor naturally knew that the fourth prince and Bei Liangye both had contributions to this matter. If not for them, they would not have been able to handle the matter of the imperial concubine so well so quickly.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there must be some reward anyway, so the emperor directly sent people to deliver all the gold and silver to their mansion.
Bei Liangye just smiled slightly at this matter. After all, he understood that these things were what he should do.
Naturally, we cannot let go of the imperial concubine's affairs.
"Here comes someone." The emperor said calmly.
The eunuch hurried over after hearing this, lowered his head and said, "I'm here, my servant."
The emperor thought about it and put down the memorial in his hand.
"What do you think about the imperial concubine?"
After saying this, he glanced at the eunuch subconsciously. He had been following the emperor for many years. The emperor naturally believed in him, so he wanted to ask. No matter what, the emperor was still quite afraid of this matter.
The power of the imperial concubine's mother's family cannot be underestimated in the court, so no matter what, this matter must be guarded against and must be compromised.
This must not be done too carefully, and we must not directly beat the imperial concubine to death, let alone pick up the family that has angered her mother clan because of this matter. However, after thinking for a long time, there is still no better way, so I decided to
The eunuch was called over to discuss it with him.
The eunuch kissing was a matter that I was a bit confused about for a while. After all, this matter should not be under my control, but when this question came up, how should I answer it?
Originally I couldn't say much about things like this.
After all, saying something may very well lead to death, but seeing the emperor staring straight at him, he must not be able to escape. It seems that the only way to answer this matter is to bite the bullet.
.
He subconsciously scratched the back of his head and glanced at the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. What the imperial concubine did this time is indeed a bit excessive, but... the power of the imperial concubine's mother clan is indeed quite large, so this matter must not be overdone. It is better to put her under house arrest directly."
This eunuch has been following the emperor for many years. He will naturally know what is on his mind just by reading the emperor's words, so he simply expresses all his thoughts directly, which can also give the emperor some motivation to make up his mind.
The emperor thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case.
He smiled slightly and nodded and said: "Okay, I will leave the imperial concubine's affairs to you. The servants and maids around her can be withdrawn. Just keep a few personal maids."
"yes."
Then the eunuch directly obeyed the emperor's words and handled the matter. In this way, the imperial concubine was directly placed under house arrest in his palace. Not only that, the palace was also much deserted and many people were removed.
Although the imperial concubine had many kinds of dissatisfaction with this matter, her own affairs were indeed exposed ruthlessly. No matter how dissatisfied she was, there was nothing she could do. No matter what, this was the emperor's order and she had to obey it.
Here, the eldest prince was even more confused.
These days, the eldest prince has been having doubts in his mind. There has been no news from the capital. It seems that the calmness is a bit strange. Could it be that something happened?
"No, no matter what, I have to go and get some information. I won't be worried if this continues."
The eldest prince became a little restless as he thought about it, so he picked up a pen and paper from the side without hesitation and started writing a letter. For some reason, his sixth sense kept telling him that something might have really happened in the capital. After all, the imperial concubine has been keeping silent all these days.
There has been no information since.
Normally, I might receive a letter from the imperial concubine every two days, but this has been going on for several days, and no envelope has come.
He asked briefly about the situation without hesitation, and then sent the letter back to Beijing.
What followed was a long wait, and sure enough, a letter came back after a few days.
He hesitated and opened the letter in a panic.
The content inside finally made him feel relieved. Generally speaking, there was no problem at all in the capital, and the imperial concubine said everything reassured him that she was not seriously ill.
Just do your own thing well and everything that follows can be arranged. The eldest prince smiled slightly and put this one on the candle to burn.
The eldest prince finally felt at ease.
The emperor has a good grasp of this matter. He has already noticed that something is wrong with the eldest prince. The imperial concubine has been under house arrest these days, so naturally she cannot receive these letters.
At first, the emperor didn't know how to investigate this matter. Suddenly, the eunuch hurried over one day and informed him of these things.
At first, the emperor thought it was strange when he knew that the eldest prince was sending messages to Feige in the capital, but when he thought about it carefully, who else could send these things to the imperial concubine? So he directly sent people to intercept all these things.
The emperor received an envelope every two or three days.
He would read these envelopes completely every time.
The envelope kept talking about things in the capital and asking what happened in the capital. The emperor smiled slightly. It turned out that the eldest prince had so many scheming thoughts. From the beginning, he knew that he was not easy to do things. It seemed that he had to take good precautions next time.
.
"It really surprises me. I didn't expect you to let me down so much this time."
The emperor said to himself that after all, he had been with the imperial concubine for a long time and knew her handwriting more or less. The emperor knew that if he did not send a few letters back, it would inevitably make him suspicious, so he decided to imitate it himself.
The concubine's handwriting, reply.
In this way, the emperor quickly wrote a letter and stated that there would be no mental problems. In this way, all the information the eldest prince received these days were letters answered by the emperor.
Through these letters, the emperor naturally gradually came to know that the eldest prince and the imperial concubine must have something else going on, and it would definitely not be as simple as he thought. Next, he must seize this opportunity to see what the eldest prince wants.
What to do.
The eldest prince had been fine until this morning, so he felt a lot more relieved and didn't ask any more questions.
But seeing that his plan was about to come to nothing, no matter what, he had to discuss this matter with the imperial concubine. After all, this matter must not be delayed any longer.
On this day, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he picked up a pen and ink and started writing a letter.
"This matter must be discussed carefully with the imperial concubine as soon as possible. I am not in the capital now. Fortunately, I have sent a message again, otherwise it would have been too bad."
