009: No one can escape
"There is also the eldest princess!" She looked at the courtyard. Although it was autumn at this time, it was probably because the owner of this mansion was calm and had planted a lot of flowers and plants. At first glance, she looked quite artistic, "Let's talk about it later."
She sighed softly, greeted Xie Lian, and left Prince Jing's mansion with Shuangxi.
Seeing the departure behind, Xie Lian felt a little melancholy.
He is a useless man, and his biggest wish for the rest of his life is to be able to live a safe life. As for the supreme position, he has never coveted it since he became sensible.
When his mother was alive, she taught him the only way to settle down. There has never been a disabled prince ascended the throne and became emperor in all dynasties.
But now, he is a little confused about His Majesty's thoughts.
Do you really ask him for help, or do you want to find an excuse to kill him...
He was not sure.
It was not his villain's intention. In fact, over the years, he had seen too many brothers die one after another. The reason why the Empress Dowager was tolerating him was that he had disabled legs and had no ambition to seize the throne.
But in the past few years, Empress Dowager Yao sent imperial physicians to the royal palace to treat him dozens of times, and it only took two years to completely calm down.
Perhaps he felt that his legs were really not likely to recover, so he gave up.
"Prince, do you really trust Your Majesty?" The person who spoke was the head of Prince Jing's Mansion, and he was also the confidant left by Concubine Chu to Xie Lian, and he was loyal to him.
"So what if she doesn't believe it. Since she came to the palace in person to let me come forward to trial, she can't refuse." Xie Lian's face was gentle, "You ask someone to prepare. Since she wants to cut off the Yao family, whether it is sincere or false, it will be beneficial to us and the people of the world."
"yes!"
The next day, King Jing took the evidence provided by Qin Xiao to take charge of the Ministry of Justice and presided over the case of the British Duke.
The imperial kitchen, all day long, Eunuch Hai and others were trembling. His Majesty sent the imperial guards to investigate the British Duke's Mansion without deliberately hiding it. Everything you should know inside and outside the palace knew.
Thinking of Manfu kneeling down since yesterday morning, who is not trembling in his heart?
Eunuch Hai wanted to plead for Manfu, but he really dared?
Originally, His Majesty's meal was what he thought about Empress Dowager Yao, and he tried to deal with it behind his back, and then he lent his meals to this point.
Seeing that His Majesty had stood up by himself, he wanted to hide away, hoping that His Majesty would not remember what he had done, let alone take the initiative to run to His Majesty to ask for trouble.
But if he didn't go and let everyone in the imperial kitchen see it, he might say that he was cruel and ruthless and pushed his godson out to be a scapegoat. But he, the culprit, ignored him, and this would completely lose his majesty in the imperial kitchen.
Just when he was trying his best to prepare a sumptuous meal and begging for his majesty, a team of imperial guards whistled from outside.
Before the Imperial Army captain could speak, Eunuch Hai collapsed on the ground by himself, and his big, plump face turned pale in an instant.
"Take all of you away."
At the command of the team leader, a group of imperial kitchen chefs led by Eunuch Hai were taken away by the imperial guards.
In the imperial kitchen with more than a hundred people, when the imperial guards left, less than twenty people remained.
As for Eunuch Hai, he was so scared from beginning to end that he didn't even dare to scream.
At the same time, other departments and bureaus in the palace also had imperial guards coming in and out, and took away many Yao's vassals.
"Brother Chen, the day for you to make a comeback is here as Eunuch Hai leaves." A middle-aged imperial chef walked to the corner and whispered.
Chen Sanqiao, the inheritor of the Chen family of Jiangnan Food Family, was the first emperor who was in power. When he was reigned, he took his favorite concubine Yao Concubine Yao to visit him in a private place. He went through the restaurant he ran. The food he made made Yao Concubine Yao very much. Then he was recruited by the last emperor to become an imperial chef.
It should have been a glorious family, but Hegemony Hai was from the lineage of Empress Dowager Yao at that time. In less than two years, Concubine Yao, who was once in the prosperous period, was killed by Empress Dowager Yao because the late emperor was fond of the past and was depressed by Empress Dowager Yao's design. Chen Sanqiao was also implicated and his status in the imperial kitchen became embarrassing.
Even the recipes passed down by the Chen family were secretly taken away by Eunuch Hai.
Chen Sanqiao doesn't like fighting for power. His only preference is to engage in recipes. He doesn't care whether he can make a name for himself. As long as he can give him enough space to continue studying new dishes, he will be satisfied.
"Master Chen." A clear voice floated in from the door.
Everyone in the imperial kitchen looked up and hurriedly bowed to Shuangxi with fists.
"Brother-in-law Shuangxi." Chen Sanqiao walked up.
Shuangxi looked at him with a smile, knowing the ability and temperament of this man. "Your Majesty ordered me to pass the message. After that, the imperial kitchen will be handed over to Master Chen, but don't let Your Majesty down."
Everyone congratulated Chen Sanqiao one after another, but Chen Sanqiao was not arrogant or impatient. He knelt on the ground to express his gratitude to the outside, "I thank the emperor for thanking the emperor, and I also troubled Mr. Shuangxi to come and go for a trip in person. The meager thank you gifts are not respectful. Please accept it with a smile."
Shuangxi reached out and pushed the filial piety back, "It is Master Chen's own ability to be promoted. His Majesty has advised the palace servants not to accept filial piety privately."
Then Shuangxi gave a few more instructions and turned around and left.
"Congratulations to Master Chen."
"Brother Chen, what did I say? Just for my auspicious words, there should be a meal, right?"
When the new official took office, it was natural that there was no problem in treating his colleagues to dinner. Chen Sanqiao agreed with a smile.
As for Man Fu, who was kneeling in the imperial garden, who was about to be destroyed, he was also dragged to the prison like a dog by the imperial guards and reunited with Eunuch Hai and the others.
What awaits them will be the most tragic ending.
The empress dowager who had been in a coma for a day and a night finally woke up. Looking at the familiar arrangement in front of her, she knew that she had returned to Shoukang Palace.
"Come here, send the imperial guards to block the Qinzheng Hall..." He didn't care about anything else, and the Empress Dowager opened her mouth and said this.
I have to say that the punishment method I want is the same as mother and daughter.
When he heard this, Zhenzhu, who was serving in the hall, hurried forward and said, "Empress Dowager, you are awake."
"Didn't you hear what the Ai family say?" The empress dowager resisted the dizzy discomfort and shouted majestic.
Pearl fell to the ground in an instant, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has sent an imperial guard to block the Shoukang Palace. No one is allowed to enter and exit without His Majesty's order."
"..." The Empress Dowager was silent for three seconds, then gritted her teeth and said, "I really think this evil girl can't do anything to him? Go and call Qin Xiao to the Ai family."
She didn't believe it anymore. She was the empress dowager who was powerful all over the world and could be controlled by that cowardly puppet.
Pearl's mouth was filled with pain, "The Queen Mother calmed down, I heard that the Qin commander was leading the imperial guards to search the British Duke's Mansion in the past two days, but he was not in the palace."
