Chapter 139 Let’s help Concubine Tong first!
He even thought about where the Qin family would go. It was the simple folk customs of Hezhou that allowed the Qin family to completely stay away from the political situation, so he let them live a leisurely life there.
But before he could take back the military power, news came that Qin Xubai had died of poisoning.
He suspected that it was a self-torture trick of the Qin family, and he even asked the imperial physician to diagnose and treat the patient. He was not at ease until he was sure that it was really poisoning.
At that time, he was also curious about how Qin Xubai was poisoned, and secretly asked the secret guards to investigate, but found nothing.
Soon Qin Xubai was accepted as a disciple by Song Wentian and went to Shengyun Mountain. His life was saved but the poison had entered his heart and he was suffering. The young man who was once famous in the capital with fine clothes and a fierce horse disappeared, and Shengyun Mountain produced a senior brother who was extremely talented and handsome.
The Queen was surprised that Emperor Qinglong would take the initiative to explain the matter.
But after only a moment of surprise, he said calmly: "I know, my father and brother know too."
Otherwise, she would demand justice even at the cost of her life.
As if she knew what Emperor Qinglong was worried about, the Queen's voice became a little colder: "It is even less likely that the Imperial Master would doubt you, so Your Majesty does not need to worry about Yunxi misunderstanding you."
Although he was not the one who poisoned the family, if he had not tried his best to suppress the Qin family, the people hiding in the dark would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
No matter the cold marrow grass in the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, the soul-breaking Gu that the Emperor was infected with, or the soft bone powder that Ji Ziche was given, only the Xuan Ning grass could resolve it...
Every time a secret medicine from the previous dynasty appeared, it was closely related to the Shen family. Even the hidden weapons used by Shen Zhikang were soaked in the black poison juice owned by the Wei family of the previous dynasty.
So just as Yun Xi thought in her heart, there was no need for direct evidence at all. These were enough to conclude that it was definitely the Shen family who poisoned Xu Bai.
Because of what happened back then, Xu Bai has never returned to General Dingguo's Mansion. She knows that the child still cannot let go of what happened back then, and still has resentment towards his father and brother, and is even more unable to forgive himself.
Everything happened because of the emperor's suspicion of the Qin family.
As a daughter of the Qin family, she should follow the Qin family's ancestral teachings, but that doesn't mean she has no grudges against Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong also knew that the past could not be remedied, but he was an emperor and it was impossible for him to remain indifferent to the military generals who were so powerful that they threatened the emperor.
It was especially impossible for him to remain calm and composed when the common people and soldiers only knew General Dingguo and ignored him as the new emperor.
However, it was the late emperor, not him, who established the unshakable trust between the monarch and his subjects with General Dingguo!
He had been away from the capital since he was young. He couldn't even trust the late emperor, so how could he trust the late emperor's ministers?
The Qin family is right, but it is also true that he is the emperor.
When he heard Ye Xuanqi say that Concubine Tong had been feeling unwell recently and that it was Imperial Physician Lu who was treating her, he immediately understood.
"Having lost your trust and full support, Ye Xuanke has become erratic and difficult to control. Song Muxue is determined to keep Ye Xuanling, the God of Wealth, firmly in her hands!"
[Given Ye Xuanling's concern for Concubine Tong, as long as he can control Concubine Tong, he won't have to worry about Ye Xuanling turning against him.]
[However, there is another possibility, using the death of Concubine Tong to stir up Ye Xuanling's hatred towards the emperor and the entire royal family.]
She didn't know what happened to Concubine Tong in her previous life, but considering that Ye Xuanling had concentrated all the wealth of the capital in one person and didn't care about the lives of the people at all, Concubine Tong should not have had a good ending.
Ye Xuanqi nodded in agreement: "I ordered someone to secretly copy Concubine Tong's pulse record, maybe it will be helpful to you."
Song Yunxi was quite surprised. She always felt that Ye Xuanqi was getting more and more sensible, as if he could always predict her predictions ahead of others.
"That's great. It saves me from climbing over walls and windows."
She had originally planned to sneak into the Imperial Hospital tonight to look it over.
After reading Concubine Tong's pulse case, Song Yunxi had a guess in his mind.
Before Ren Zhihai gets into trouble, let’s help Concubine Tong first!
She always felt some pity for a weak woman like Tong Fei who was infatuated and truly indifferent to the world.
After making the decision, he asked Ye Xuanqi: "Your emperor father likes to hold banquets. Do you think you can find a reason to hold another one for him?"
Ye Xuanqi burst out laughing.
My father has never liked banquets. The reason why there are so many banquets this year is just that he wants to take the opportunity to let her come to the palace.
He finally saw the brilliance of fatherly love from his father, but the irony was that this fatherly love was not released for any of their children.
Ignoring the bitterness in his heart, Ye Xuanqi smiled gently: "You don't have to ask father to do it. In ten days it will be my aunt's birthday. The Princess's Mansion will provide you with an opportunity to do it."
When he guessed her intention, Song Yunxi was not at all surprised or uneasy. Instead, she smiled brightly and said, "Then please help me, Your Majesty."
Yuqiong Palace.
It was just a guess, but I never thought that Concubine Tong really suffered from depression.
But it's no wonder, the person she loves is the emperor, and she was chosen by the emperor to enter the palace only because of the Tong family's huge wealth.
Being used would be fine, but after entering the palace, she truly felt Emperor Qinglong's perfunctory attitude towards her and his exclusive favor for Concubine Shen. How could she be truly indifferent?
But she was just a merchant's daughter, and her status was not comparable to that of other concubines in the palace.
Coupled with the decline of the Tong family, all she could do was to endure the heartache and hide away to heal her wounds alone.
After having a son, she started to have all kinds of wild thoughts because even her son was not valued. The palace was a place where it was difficult to hide from the attacks, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally from dealing with all of this.
After much difficulty, his son grew up and inherited the Tong family's talent for business. The Tong family's business was revived and regained its glory in his hands.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could completely calm down, she was hit hard by the news that her son loved Song Muxue.
Did he know that that was his future sister-in-law?
I tried to persuade him and beat him, but it was of no use.
Then she began to worry again. What if Ye Xuanqi found out? What if the emperor or empress found out?
Those who violate morality and ethics will be despised for the rest of their lives and will never be able to turn things around.
All of this has put too much pressure on this weak woman psychologically. Ye Xuanling sought his own death and was nearly beaten to death by Emperor Qinglong. The accumulated inferiority, sensitivity, caution, and fear finally caused this weak woman's psychology to collapse completely.
Concubine Tong did not expect that Song Yunxi would actually come to her Yuqiong Palace. In her opinion, this was a condescension, which made her feel flattered.
Not to mention Song Yunxi's identity, just based on the emperor's love and indulgence towards her, she had no reason to pay attention to herself, a concubine who was not favored at all.
Moreover, the emperor only comes to her Yuqiong Palace once a year, which is no different from the cold palace.
So, why did Miss Song come to Yuqiong Palace?
From the time Song Yunxi stepped into Yuqiong Palace to the time they greeted each other, Concubine Tong had already imagined several big dramas in her mind.
