Chapter 567: I want to take you out of the capital

After sitting down, Wei Jin also explained the ins and outs of the matter to Wei Ruo in detail.

It turned out that Wei Jin had already arranged this matter. He had placed people in the palace very early. Taking advantage of Qi Concubine's fall from grace, he approached Qi Concubine and revealed some things to Qi Concubine:

Prince Rui is so weak now probably because he was brought out of his mother's womb. Empress Xu was probably poisoned when she was in Jing'an Temple, which led to her final death in childbirth. Otherwise, with Empress Xu as a general, Women's bodies are always strong and strong, so they shouldn't die in childbirth without incident.

It also made Qi Concubine realize: With the fall of the Qi family, King Yu completely lost his position as crown prince. Now that the emperor's body is not strong, there is not much time left.

As a result, Chu Lan will ascend the throne as the new emperor soon, and then there will be no way for her and Prince Yu to survive.

That's why Qi Concubine had such a reaction when she was summoned for questioning by the emperor.

Concubine Qi wants to blame Concubine Hui for this matter and make Concubine Hui fall out of favor, so that she can hit King Jing.

But it is difficult to directly blame Concubine Hui, especially since she no longer has the emperor's trust.

So she chose to admit it herself first, and then confess Concubine Hui as an accomplice, which made her confession more trustworthy.

There are no eternal enemies in the harem. Although she and Concubine Hui have not dealt with each other in recent years, when the emperor only favored Queen Xu, she and Concubine Hui were both neglected concubines and were in the same boat.

It is not impossible for the two of them to cooperate under such circumstances.

Concubine Qi had connections and methods, and Concubine Hui was one of the few concubines who gained the trust of Empress Xu at that time. She was the one who had the opportunity to get close to her and poison her.

So her statement is credible.

Qi Bin knew that this would lead to her being guillotined, but she still chose to do it.

Probably because she knew in her heart that even if she tried her best to deny that the matter had nothing to do with her, the emperor might not believe it. In addition, her son had lost the opportunity now. If something was not done, both she and her son would be dead.

It is better to lose both sides than to suffer a total defeat! Maybe it can even give her son a glimmer of hope!

However, in fact, Queen Xu's death in childbirth was not due to poisoning. It was simply that Xu Guogong's incident gave her such a heavy blow that she lost strength during the final delivery.

The whole thing was a trap set by Wei Jinyi for Qi Concubine, and this trap started when he first appeared in front of the emperor.

He looked weak from the beginning, which made it easier for people to believe that the death of Queen Xu was indeed caused by someone poisoning. This was Wei Jinyi's inherent shortcomings.

After listening to Wei Jinyi's words, Wei Ruo took some time to digest.

Wei Ruo had known for a long time that Wei Jin would definitely find a way to deal with Qi Concubine in the palace, but she never knew the specific method.

Now she is still a little surprised after hearing this, at least it was a method she had never thought of before.

Moreover, this method will not only send Qi Concubine to the point of no return, but also Concubine Hui and Chu Lan will also suffer.

Then Wei Ruo asked again: "What was the situation like in the palace after the second brother left?"

Wei Ruo speculated that based on the emperor's feelings for Queen Xu, things would definitely not get better. The reason why the second brother returned to the palace so early was probably because the emperor was considerate of his health. The situation in the palace should not have calmed down at this moment.

"When I left, the emperor had already sent people to search Concubine Hui's palace. Concubine Qi had already been caned ten times and was lying in the imperial study room for further interrogation. Princess Jing had also been caned three times and was still in the imperial study room. Release it." Wei Jin also said.

It seems that the second brother's plan was very successful.

Wei Ruo couldn't help but sigh: "Second brother's arrangement like this has trapped Concubine Hui, Qi Concubine, King Jing and Prince Yu together. Both of them have been weakened, and the road ahead for second brother will be smooth. The prince is not far away."

Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo with a serious expression.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Jin also said in a deep voice: "If Ruo'er is willing, we can leave the capital together and go to a place far away from the disputes."

Wei Ruo was stunned: "You want to take me out of the capital?" She was surprised. Although the second brother had once stated to her that he did not want to compete for the throne, she always felt that the situation was pushing him in that direction step by step. Go, especially after Chu Lan had a conflict with them, she vaguely felt that they could no longer retreat.

And now, the second brother actually proposed to leave the capital!

Yes. Wei Jin also replied firmly.

But whats going on here

"After the death of Qi Concubine and Qi Yansong, the revenge of my grandfather's family has been avenged. There is no need for me to stay in the capital." Wei Jin also said.

That side of King Jing

"Before leaving the capital, I will try to weaken King Jing's power in the court as much as possible, so that even if he ascends the throne, he will not have the power to deal with us. This is also a major reason why I want to drag Concubine Hui into trouble this time."

Wei Jin also took Chu Lan into consideration a long time ago.

Although the trigger this time was Princess Jing, the move regarding Concubine Hui had been planned for a long time and was not a spur-of-the-moment move today.

Wei Ruo recovered from the initial surprise and stared at Wei Jinyi with eyes that changed from surprise to joy and even admiration.

Thats fine, thats fine. Todays great undertakings are in turmoil, and sitting in that position means theres so much to worry about. Just let others take care of it!

Wei Ruo couldn't help but start thinking about life after leaving the capital.

Sure enough, there is meat to eat with the second brother!

Wei Ruo couldn't help but praise Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, you are so good! I am really getting happier and more grateful to you."

Nearly lost his voice again.

"Yeah." Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's eyes and saw a bright light in her eyes.

He knew that she was really looking forward to leaving the capital.

Thats good.

"Hey, second brother, I discovered that you look like a sheep at first glance, but you are actually a fox, a thousand-year-old fox. It seems that I accidentally released a monster back then."

Wei Ruo supported his chin with one hand and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Wei Jin also turned his head away.

Wei Ruo couldn't help but pinched Wei Jinyi's face.

"what you do"

I want to see if you are still wearing a human skin, otherwise why would your appearance in front of me be inconsistent with your shrewd appearance? Wei Ruodao.

"There is no more dummy skin, don't touch it anymore." Wei Jin also said seriously, but there was a somewhat unserious blush on his serious cheeks.

Wei Ruo stepped forward to take a look and asked with a smile: "Second brother, aren't you shy?"

Second brother is really shy. He can be shy even if he is a thousand-year-old fox or a monster.

I really dont understand. He is so shrewd in calculating the people in the palace, but why does he look so shy in front of her?

Could it be an act?
