Chapter 1843

The eldest prince Song Qiyu fell into the water!

Once the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar! The people of the world looked sideways!

Fortunately, the eldest prince Song Qiyu was rescued in time, and his life was not in danger.

Emperor Yuanding was furious.

He was trying to win the support of the Hou Fu, but at this time the eldest prince fell into the water; if it were said to be an accident, who would believe it, who would dare to believe it? The struggle for the foundation of the country was clearly placed in the court, and falling into the water at this time must have something suspicious.

For a moment, Emperor Yuanding had an absurd thought: could it be that Empress Chen staged it herself?

Immediately after, he threw this thought away.

Empress Chen's concern for her own son could be seen by anyone with eyes. Empress Chen would never joke with the eldest prince's life.

There was only one conclusion: the struggle for the foundation of the country had spread from the court to the harem, and someone wanted to harm the eldest prince.

Bang!

Emperor Yuanding smashed his fist on the desk.

"Who exactly wants to harm the prince? Find them out, I will execute their nine generations."

He hurried to the harem to visit the eldest prince and pacify Empress Chen.

"Prince, recuperate well; I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Empress, rest assured, I have already ordered a thorough investigation into this matter. No matter who is involved, I will not be lenient."

Empress Chen had a wooden face; she wanted to act, but at this moment she really had no mood to act, no mood to cry and make a weak appearance.

She rubbed her eyebrows, "Your Majesty, I want to take the prince and Chaoyang back to the palace early, please grant permission."

"Why is this? I have already promised you that I will thoroughly investigate this matter." Emperor Yuanding was very dissatisfied.

"I believe in Your Majesty, I have seen Your Majesty's determination, there is no doubt at all. It's just that the temporary palace is ultimately unsafe. The prince escaped this disaster, but it does not mean he can escape the second or third. Please, for my sake, grant permission for us mother and children to return to the palace early. Only by returning to the capital and the palace can I feel safe. Please grant this, Your Majesty!"

Empress Chen was heartbroken, showing a sorrowful look, with a face of lingering fear.

Emperor Yuanding originally wanted to scold her, but seeing her like this, he couldn't bear it for a moment.

He sighed, "Since the Empress insists on returning to the palace, I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Empress Chen took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "The prince fell into the water; fortunately, it was summer, and fortunately, someone among those serving knew how to swim. But even so, thinking about it now, I still have lingering fear. If it were winter, I wouldn't dare imagine the consequences. The temporary palace is ultimately not the imperial palace."

In the imperial palace, she could mobilize ten times the manpower of the temporary palace and protect her son and daughter airtight.

In the temporary palace, everything was inconvenient, and even the manpower she could command was limited.

They mother and children looked like they had become targets, and she could not sit and wait for death, giving people the opportunity to take action. For them mother and children, the temporary palace was a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

She knew this truth well, so she wanted to return to her home field! She only accepted fighting on her home field and did not accept being passively beaten on an away field.

Early the next morning, the three of them took their men and set off to return to the palace.

The concubines in the harem learned of this news, some happy and some worried.

The court officials were worried, thinking that the eldest prince's health was not good.

Emperor Yuanding's anger surged.

He was very worried!

Worried that because of the eldest prince falling into the water, the Hou Fu would refuse his solicitation and refuse to support him.

Therefore, he urged Xia Qiuhong to thoroughly investigate the falling into the water, and must give Empress Chen and the Hou Fu an explanation.

At the moment, he was embarrassed to urge Empress Chen, and even more embarrassed to urge the Hou Fu.

Everything was not going smoothly, making him curse in the bedroom.

The news reached the capital, and Chen Guanfu learned of the eldest prince falling into the water, cursing in the study behind people's backs, "Unable to manage even a few concubines in the harem, trash! And still wanting me to support him, keep dreaming!"

The steward Chen Guanqiang asked cautiously, "Young Master, do you really not support His Majesty? In this way, the situation of the Empress and the eldest prince is probably not good. The Emperor has a bad temper, if he vents his anger... why not make a show of it?"

Chen Guanfu sneered, his face straight and noncommittal.

"I believe the Empress must have arranged reliable people around the eldest prince; under such circumstances, someone still found a loophole, causing the eldest prince to fall into the water, whose responsibility is it?"

"Does the Young Master mean that His Majesty did it on purpose?"

"It shouldn't be on purpose, but he must have indulged some people, giving some people unrealistic fantasies, making some people mistakenly believe that getting rid of the eldest prince would make their wishes come true. The root cause is still with the Emperor. If he didn't mess around, how would the concubines have the guts to take action against the eldest prince!"

Chen Guanqiang lowered his head and thought deeply, "What should we do now? I heard that the Empress has taken the eldest prince and Princess Chaoyang and has set off to return to the capital."

"Wait for the Empress to return to the capital, and have the Madam submit a request to enter the palace to visit."

"What about the Emperor?"

Chen Guanfu came to the courtyard, looked at the goldfish raised in the fish tank, and said angrily, "According to my thoughts, a piece of trash is not worthy of sitting on the throne. However, trash also has the benefits of trash!"

He sprinkled fish bait into the fish tank, and several goldfish surrounded it to grab food.

"He wants me to fight Xie Changling, thinking quite beautifully."

"But Xie Xiang is dominant, and in the long run, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Chen Guanqiang muttered.

"How could I not know! Between two evils, choose the lesser; compared to the Emperor being dominant, I would rather let Xie Changling become dominant."

"Sooner or later, we must give the Emperor an attitude." Chen Guanqiang reminded in a low voice.

"No rush! The eldest prince falling into the water has not been investigated clearly. The one who is really anxious is the Emperor, not the Hou Fu. If the Emperor doesn't give an explanation, I won't give him an explanation either. Write a letter to tell the Marquis about the eldest prince falling into the water. In the northwest border, we can move in the autumn."

Chen Guanqiang accepted the order and left.

Hundreds of miles, several days of travel, the Empress took her son and daughter back to the capital and returned to the imperial palace.

The Young Master's wife, Lu Shi, submitted a request to enter the palace to visit for the first time.

Mother and son met and poured out their hearts.

Learning that the eldest prince's health had improved, Lu Shi put her hands together and thanked the gods and Buddhas for their protection.

"It's good to be back! The palace is empty, and you have the final say in everything, so the eldest prince's safety is guaranteed. Learning of the falling into the water, your father and I were worried to death. Fortunately, Heaven protected us!"

Empress Chen looked slightly tired, lying on the soft couch, "What plan does Father have?"

"Your father said, wait for the Emperor to investigate the falling into the water clearly and give you and the eldest prince an explanation, then the Hou Fu will make plans. Your father also said that the northwest might move."

Lu Shi leaned in and said, her voice extremely low, for fear of being heard.

Empress Chen widened her eyes suddenly, a light called excitement flashing in her eyes, "Is it finally going to move? Mother, do you know, I was very aggrieved in the temporary palace, wishing I could slash all those concubines to death! I insisted on returning to the capital because I didn't want to see the Emperor's hypocritical face, fearing I couldn't help but settle accounts with him. If it weren't for him, how would they have the guts..."

Empress Chen gritted her teeth, her inner hatred unmasked, gushing out!
