Chapter 523
After Prince An's body arrived in the capital, Xiao Changqi ordered the coroner of Dali Temple to test the body.
It was discovered that there was a chronic poison in Princess An's body. Even if there was no wind-cold this time, it would be as long as three months or as short as one month, and it would be weak and die. It can also be said that the wind-cold this time was not healed, which also has something to do with this poison.
But who would poison Princess An? A widow of a rebellious prince.
Xiao Changqi ordered people to go to the Jiangnan Palace to check on the poisoning of Prince An.
At the same time, a funeral was also prepared and Princess An was buried with great burial.
As for the children left behind, only the daughter had the title of Princess, which was given by the late emperor when he was still alive, and the son did not have the title. Because of Prince An's rebellion, Xiao Changqi did not give the title.
How to arrange two children? Xiao Changqi means to send them back to the Jiangnan Palace.
But Ye Qingyan did not agree.
The daughter of the deposed prince, Princess Ping'an, is now in the capital. She was originally raised by the Empress Dowager, but because the Empress Dowager was not in good health for a while, she was sent out of the palace to be raised in Minying's third princess's mansion. Now, she goes to the imperial school with Minying's two sons every day, and sometimes she goes to Changle Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager.
If Princess Ping'an can stay, it is natural that Prince An's two children should be able to stay.
This also makes him, the emperor, look tolerant.
The people of the world will also change their views on him and regard him as a kind and virtuous king. The only thing that remains in later history is the name of a tyrant.
Xiao Changqi didn't care much about his reputation. He just agreed to see that Ye Qingyan attached great importance to it.
There is no problem for him with two more royal children and nephews.
But who should I give these two children to raise? After all, they are still young.
After thinking about it, Ye Qingyan passed the third princess Minying into the palace.
I told Minying about these two children. Anyway, she has raised a Princess Ping'an, so it should be no problem to raise two more.
Princess Minying was indeed as Ye Qingyan thought, and it was no problem to let her raise a child. However, she still had some concerns about Prince An's son.
No matter how many princesses say they are all daughters. When they grow up, they say a good marriage, but it will be fine if they get married.
However, the son is different, he is qualified to inherit the throne. Moreover, at present, Prince An's son is ranked behind the 14th prince, which is very close to the throne.
Minying was worried that raising a tiger would cause trouble. So she promised to raise Prince An's daughter, but her son did not.
A pair of siblings had no mother anymore, and the two of them were separated again, which really made Ye Qingyan unable to bear it. In the end, she had no choice but to go to Qinzheng Hall to find Xiao Changqi.
"Your Majesty, remove the seal of Prince An's mansion."
Xiao Changqi looked at her and smiled and said, "Don't you raise your third sister?"
Ye Qingyan replied: "She only raises a princess."
Xiao Changqi looked at her belly and stretched out his hand to her.
Ye Qingyan walked over.
Xiao Changqi held her in his arms and touched her belly, "Tell me that he is a prince."
Ye Qingyan pushed away his hand, "Even if this is not, I will definitely give you one in the future. I will definitely do it if I promised Your Majesty what I have done."
Xiao Changqi was satisfied, "It's easy to remove the seal, just tear it off."
Ye Qingyan was surprised, it was so simple?
"You... agreed?"
Xiao Changqi nodded, "Well, I promised to let them live in Prince An's mansion."
"That big palace is empty, isn't it empty?" Ye Qingyan grabbed his hand and landed it on his stomach. "Besides, what they are radiating from the royal family is the blood of the royal family. As long as they are loyal to His Majesty, they will feel more at ease than those of other people."
"But loyalty is not easy. They are covered with blood that is swelling with bones."
"Then... let them rebel. To put it bluntly, the golden dragon chaise needs sacrifices to sit on it and sit steadily. If it is not the blood of your own hands, it is the blood of others."
Xiao Changqi's eyes suddenly became dark, as if they were in the abyss, "Jiaojiao can see through."
Ye Qingyan picked up a commonly used imperial seal from Xiao Changqi on the imperial desk and looked at the red ink, which looked very bloody.
"Because His Majesty is the way he sits on the throne, and the emperors who have made achievements in all dynasties have also come here with blood."
"Actually, I don't want to be an emperor." Xiao Changqi took the imperial seal from her hand, dropped a clear seal on a blank piece of paper, and then picked up a pen to write an edict. It was to unseal Prince An's mansion and let Prince An's two children live in the palace and stay in the capital.
Ye Qingyan looked at the words that were domineering on the paper and replied: "I don't want to be the queen either."
Xiao Changqi laughed softly, "But you are the queen."
"Because you marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, if your Majesty is a beggar, then your concubine is a beggar woman. If your Majesty is a farmer, then your concubine is a peasant woman. If your Majesty is a businessman, then your concubine is a young lady."
"Oh? So, no matter who I am, Jiaojiao will still marry me, right?"
"Don't Your Majesty want to marry me?" Ye Qingyan's eyes showed a threat.
Xiao Changqi threw the pen aside and hugged her tightly, "I can't ask for it."
...
Witch Clan—
Hot Spring Inn.
Chunyu stood at the counter, making abacus, and the sound was crisp and nice, like a moving song.
Especially in Ji Yue's ears, it feels particularly comfortable.
"Do you want to be my person?" Ji Yue narrowed her eyes, and a trace of charm attacked the spring rain.
Chunyu was unmoved at all and carefully calculated the money in the account book. After finishing the account book, he picked up the pen and wrote down the total number, "This month, the pure profit was 1,524 taels and 7 coins."
"It's not bad. The witch tribe is in a downturn now, so it's good if you can avoid losing money."
"I've finished the account. When will you help me pass the message to Sister Qing?"
"It has been passed, if it is soon, I will... I will be there when I say it." Ji Yue looked at the door of the inn.
Qingze, wearing a white long skirt, and wearing a tulle face, stood at the entrance of the inn.
Seeing that it was Chunyu to see her, I was very surprised, and I couldn't hide the joy of reunion of my old friends. I walked towards Chunyu in two steps, "Sister Chunyu."
Chunyu looked at her eyes and saw that there was no shame in her eyes, or even a strange color. Her mind, which had been tense, was a little relaxed.
"Sister Qing, Gui... is dead!" When she said this, she stared at Qingze's slight change in expression.
Qingze was shocked and dumbfounded, "What...what's going on?"
Ji Yue also narrowed his pupils slightly. He had heard that Xiao Changqi had a personal guard of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Gui... should be one of them.
"Isn't it Gui that Sister Qing betrayed?" Chunyu asked directly out the biggest suspicion in her heart.
