Chapter 844 Return to life
Chapter 844 Return to life
Emperor Suwen had countless women in his life. Even when he was in his sixties, there were still young and beautiful women filling his harem.
Regardless of whether these women were willing or forced, none of them looked depressed or unhappy when they saw him.
For the sake of family honor and interests, even if they were unwilling, they had to flatter him to gain his favor and consolidate the family's status.
The concubines with high positions in the palace are all elderly, and they usually have children, especially those who gave birth to princes, as their status as mothers is enhanced by their sons.
The character of Concubine Shu in the palace is straightforward and unpretentious, while the character of Concubine Chun is low-key and non-competitive.
Emperor Suwen also believed this for many years.
However, recent events have overturned his cognition time and time again.
Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years, but she still has a man she once loved in her heart, which makes him unbearable. But when he turned around, Concubine Chun's family raised private soldiers in Jinzhou Prefecture and occupied land...
Eunuch De did not dare to respond to Emperor Suwen's questions and kept his head down like a quail. Just when he was suffering, a young eunuch came to announce that the prince of Weiguo wanted to see him.
"Your Majesty, the prince has arrived."
Eunuch De felt relieved.
Emperor Suwen also came back to his senses at this time, his expression finally eased a little, and he waved his hand and said, "Let him in."
Soon, Xu Xing came in.
Kneel, bow, and greet.
After a set of standardized greeting procedures, Emperor Suwen first showed concern for his injuries and expressed condolences before listening to Xu Xing's report on business.
"Your Majesty, I did find out some things during my trip to Jinzhou Prefecture."
Emperor Suwen gestured to Xu Xing to continue speaking, and the only sound left in the imperial study was Xu Xing's voice reporting on official business.
The more he listened, the gloomier Emperor Suwen's expression became.
When Li Ke, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, secretly reported Li, Emperor Suwen was angry but still rational. He believed that the two had different political views and were mostly fighting with each other.
But when he heard Xu Xing tell him with his own ears about what the Li family had done in Jinzhou Prefecture, his mood was completely different.
Jinzhou Prefecture is so close to Kyoto City, and the round trip is only four or five days away. How dare they do this under the feet of the emperor! !
"Bastard!"
After Xu Xing finished speaking, Emperor Suwen was furious and slapped the dragon table, frightening Eunuch De so much that he shrank like a quail.
The Li family, the Li family is so bold!
"As mentioned above, is there any evidence?"
This is preparing to arrest someone!
Xu Xing said, "I was in a hurry to return to the capital to report, and I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't dare to stay too long. But I have left people to search for evidence against Li, so it shouldn't take too long."
The people of the Li family were very vigilant. When strangers entered the territory of Jinzhou Prefecture, they would approach them and ask them questions. Xu Xing and his group pretended to be merchants doing business, so they did not stay for long.
However, the undercover investigators have already launched a comprehensive investigation and searched for evidence.
"well done."
Emperor Suwen suddenly suppressed his anger and expressed satisfaction with Xu Xing's mission: "Go back and rest first. When you receive the news, report to me immediately."
"Sir, obey the order."
Xu Xing stood up and said to Emperor Su Wen: "Your Majesty, I brought some things for my aunt in Jinzhou Prefecture and I want to go to Yongning Palace to see her."
"Go."
Emperor Suwen agreed readily, then looked at Eunuch De and winked at him.
Eunuch De immediately understood what was going on and invited Xu Xing to go to Yongning Palace with him.
After Xu Xing left the imperial study, Emperor Suwen ordered someone to summon Concubine Chun.
Was she aware of or unaware of what the Li family of Jinzhou Prefecture had done?
