Chapter 693: A fatal blow, painful as a knife
Before, he discovered that Ji Chuhe was actually plotting to seize the throne.
I feel conflicted inside.
In fact, I don't approve of such behavior.
This was done by traitors who stole imperial power.
However, after listening to Ji Chuhe's words, his attitude changed.
Daxia can only be truly cared about for the people if it is handed over to the hands of Prince Huaiyang!
Prince Huaiyang also has royal blood flowing in his body, so how could he be a traitor?
"Teacher, how confident are you in investigating Chang Yi's embezzlement of military funds? It is very likely that Chang Yi's case of imprisoning and assassinating the Grand Princess will be overturned."
"Teacher assures you that there will be no surprises in the investigation of Chang Yi's embezzlement of military funds. In addition, I want the Prince of Huaiyang to investigate the case personally to lay the foundation for the future. After all, it's not just Chang Yi, there are several other generals with heavy troops."
"Listen to the teacher." Ji Chuhe nodded in response.
That's exactly what she meant.
Through this incident, she could conclude that Marquis Wuyang was completely on their side.
So, who is the traitor?
History is written by the victors.
……
"Empress Chang! The Empress Dowager has sent someone to reply that you will be able to see the general tomorrow and have a private conversation with him." As soon as the nanny got the news, she came over to pass on the message.
Chang Ru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor must have been worried and troubled by this matter these days, so Chang Ru did not take the initiative to find the emperor until the dust settled.
"Where's the emperor? I'll go tell him the good news now."
"Xiao Xiazi should know the whereabouts of the emperor. I will go and ask him."
"I'll go and ask directly." Chang Ru stood up and walked out.
When Xiao Xia Zi heard that Chang Ru wanted to see the emperor, she looked a little embarrassed.
"Where is the emperor now? Is this question difficult to answer?" Chang Ru asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is...at Aunt Susu's place."
"Su Su." Chang Ru clenched her hands. These two words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
……
Since Xiao Wenxuan issued the decree and felt extremely satisfied psychologically, he has been staying with Susu.
Chang Ru was solely focused on rescuing Chang Yi, keeping her military power, and relieving the emperor's worries, and she didn't think about anything else.
When she heard that the emperor was at Susu's place, she almost couldn't control her emotions.
Along the way, she kept telling herself to stay calm, to stay calm, and not to be jealous no matter what she saw.
In the future, she will be the queen who rules the country.
You also have to take the initiative to fill the emperor's harem.
As long as the emperor's heart is with her, those women are nothing.
Xiao Wenxuan is most relaxed only when he is with Susu. Even if he suspects someone, he will not suspect the person his mother left for him. Moreover, Susu was picked out from the Luo Mansion and has followed him since she was very young.
"Your Majesty, the Royal Concubine will be able to rest in peace seeing you like this. I always believe that Your Majesty will be able to sit firmly on the throne, hold all the power in the world in one person, and become a wise ruler praised by everyone!" Susu knelt in front of Xiao Wenxuan and looked at him with admiration.
Not to mention that this kind of look is hard for men to resist, just the mention of Concubine Luo can make Xiao Wenxuan feel more sympathy for her.
As expected of someone who is completely loyal to him, when he mentions his mother, he still fearlessly addresses her as Imperial Concubine.
"Susu, I will never treat you unfairly. Although I cannot give you the position of queen, I will also make you a noble concubine and will not let anyone bully you. I can only be completely relaxed when I am with you. Only you can understand my mind." Xiao Wenxuan held Susu in his arms passionately.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to have any extravagant expectations for status and position. I just hope to be able to stay with Your Majesty for a long time."
"No, you are the most important person in my heart. How can I bear to let you suffer any injustice?"
Susu looked at the figure outside the window and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." Susu raised her head from Xiao Wenxuan's arms and looked at him pitifully.
Xiao Wenxuan pinched her chin and kissed her red lips which were still swollen.
Chang Ru stood outside the station, and in a short period of time, she felt the blood in her body run cold.
The people behind her didn't even dare to make a sound.
How could she face such a situation?
"Empress Chang has arrived." Suddenly, the young eunuch shouted.
Chang Ru immediately glared at him!
If looks could kill, this little eunuch would already be a corpse.
The sound startled the two people in the room. Su Su was horrified, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
This time, Xiao Wenxuan did not keep her.
Before, he felt that he only had Chang Ru to rely on.
Now, with the support of so many ministers in the court, and Chang Yi committing a capital crime, Chang Ru's position in his heart has been greatly reduced.
He didn't need to let Chang Ru hurt the person who was now dear to his heart.
Besides, Chang Ru was pregnant and was always a threat to him.
What if Chang Ru turns against us?
Xiao Wenxuan stood up, walked towards Chang Ru and held Chang Ru's hand.
"Ruer, why are your hands so cold?"
"Your Majesty, am I here at a bad time?" Tears welled up in Chang Ru's eyes. She could hear the sound of her own heart breaking, as if it was peeling off piece by piece!
"You are pregnant, how can I not take care of your body?" Xiao Wenxuan asked back.
Chang Ru wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I... I don't have any other intentions. I came to the emperor to tell him a good news."
"What good news?" Xiao Wenxuan asked immediately.
"I have saved my father. The Princess Grand Princess agreed to marry him. He can be cleared of the charges of imprisoning and assassinating the Princess Grand Princess. As long as he is alive, the military power will not be taken away by others. The Empress Dowager also believed what I said and no longer believed in Ji Chuhe. The Princess Grand Princess will not live long. My father can only place his hopes on me and the baby in my belly." Chang Ru said with joy.
This news will surely make the emperor understand how much she cares about him!
She did what seemed impossible.
However, she did not see any surprise on Xiao Wenxuan's face.
"Chang Ru, it is my order to investigate Chang Yi. If the Princess Taichang marries Chang Yi, where will I put my face? The prestige I have worked so hard to build up will be destroyed in an instant!" Xiao Wenxuan shouted angrily.
Chang Ru was confused.
"You are Chang Yi's daughter. I understand your desire to save Chang Yi! Do you know what crime Chang Yi committed? Are you doing this for me or to show your loyalty to the Grand Empress Dowager?"
If it is said that Xiao Wenxuan's previous words did not cause any substantial harm to Chang Ru.
This sentence was like a sharp arrow, hitting Chang Ru's chest.
"Your Majesty, how can I show my loyalty to the Grand Empress Dowager? Both the Grand Empress Dowager and I were just pretending to be nice to her in order to gain her trust! I just wanted to keep the military power of these 100,000 troops for Your Majesty!"
