Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 367

367 The door closed (1)

“In order to show off my” identity,. I secretly took a piece of material from the Empress’s Palace ...” At this point, the Imperial uncle glanced at the yellow silk cloth.

Xu Qi ‘an finally understood how Huang xiaorou got her yellow silk.

However, there should be a lot of concubines in the palace with such material. It should be difficult to use this material as evidence ... As Xu Qi ‘an thought of this, he suddenly heard huaiqing say, ”

“Lord Xu was able to follow the results of the autopsy and trace the clues to Imperial uncle, much less the mastermind who already knew the inside story.

“If Imperial mother doesn’t admit it, then there will naturally be evidence to help Lord Xu investigate Imperial uncle. Besides, with our state uncle’s iron bones, he’ll confess everything after a night in prison.”

Huaiqing’s lips curled into a cold smile.

What she said makes sense. It’s my way of thinking that has developed a habit. Such a foppish person probably has a lot of things that can be used against him. The crux of the problem is not how many things he has, but the choice of the Empress ...

Although he was a hopeless case, he was still his only younger brother. If Erlang was a bully all day long and his political enemies used him to attack him, should he save Erlang?

Xu Qi ‘an imagined Xu niannian leading a group of retinues and surrounding the girl. Xu Erlang greeted them with a lecherous smile ...

“It’s such a beautiful scene that it gives me goosebumps. Well, with Erlang’s looks, he doesn’t need to use force. There are many good women who want his body ...” Xu Qian muttered in his heart.

“. want to see the Empress, I want to see the Empress ...” The state uncle excitedly pounced on huaiqing like a child who had made a mistake but wanted someone to back him up.

“Your Majesty, if you want to depose her as an Empress, then so be it. She doesn’t love your Majesty anyway, so the position of Empress is dispensable to her. But, huaiqing, I’m your only uncle.”

“Shut up!”

Huaiqing was furious, which was a rare sight. He said sternly,”How can you slander the relationship between father and mother?”

He was really a f * cking talent! Rather than saying that he was bold, it would be better to describe him as stupid. He did things without caring about the beginning and the end, always thinking that someone would clean up his mess for him ... This was the same as a hot-blooded teenager with an incomplete mind.

In my time. he would be. giant baby, lacking the beating of society ... Xu Qi ‘an clicked his tongue in his heart.

The most important thing was that it was indeed very exciting to put a hat on the Emperor, but this Imperial brother-in-law was the only one who dared to put it into action.

Whether it was the matter of the Empress being deposed or the Imperial uncle receiving the punishment he deserved, they were all the emperor’s family matters and had little to do with him.

Therefore, he was very relaxed. At most, he would feel bad for huaiqing. However, with huaiqing’s hatred for the Imperial uncle, even if the Imperial uncle’s head was chopped off, the first wife would not be sad.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xu Qian’s mind. The Empress could not really do anything to him since she was the sister of the Imperial uncle, but how could Duke Wei tolerate such a pig teammate?

Even though the two families had been friends for generations, with Duke Wei’s power, it was absolutely easy for him to knock down a good-for-nothing young master and make him honest.

“Does Lord Wei know about this?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Hearing this, huaiqing immediately looked at him, deep in thought.

“Wei Yuan?”

The Imperial brother-in-law, who was still terrified and helpless a moment ago, suddenly became vicious and angry. He sneered, “”Yes, this must be Wei Yuan’s plan. It must be him.

he killed my father, and now he wants to harm me. He’s a cruel and unscrupulous person. He deserves to die without descendants.

A huge question flashed through Xu Qi ‘an’s little head. Before he entered the mansion, huaiqing had told him that the Wei family and the Shangguan family were old friends.

However, from the attitude of the Imperial brother-in-law, this was more like a feud than a friendship.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an immediately turned to look at huaiqing. She frowned, as if she also did not understand the inside story and was confused by the Imperial uncle’s words.

Xu Qi ‘an cleared his throat and took the initiative to ask, “”What do you mean? why would Wei Yuan want to harm you?”

The Imperial uncle glanced at him and laughed coldly, “”I dare to say it, but do you dare to listen? Do you know that Wei Yuan ...”

“Pa!”

Xu Qi ‘an interrupted the Imperial uncle with a slap.

“Alright, I don’t want to listen. I just want to take you back to the Yamen.” When Xu Qi ‘an spoke, he turned to look at huaiqing, asking for her opinion.

“Take him away,” Princess huaiqing said.

“Huaiqing, huaiqing, you can’t do this to me ... I’m the only son of the Shangguan family. Your mother won’t agree to you doing this ...”

Xu Qi ‘an took his Royal uncle out of the manor. According to huaiqing’s instructions, his Royal uncle was handed over to a few guards and escorted to the night watchman’s Yamen.

Xu Qi ‘an mounted the horse. The eldest Princess, who had just entered the carriage, rolled down the window and said in a cold voice, “”Lord Xu, why don’t you take the same carriage as me?”

Aiya, that’s not good. How can a man and a woman share a carriage together? my sister and aunt have never sat in the same carriage before ... Xu Qi ‘an quickly jumped off the horse and got into the luxurious carriage made of gold Phoebe Wood.

The coachman whipped the horses, and the two horses neighed as they galloped away from the Shangguan ancestral home, heading toward the Imperial City.

The carriage was covered with soft cashmere carpet, and there was a soft couch in the innermost part. The couch was covered with Green Dragon cotton cushions, two large chairs, and a nailed coffee table.

The eldest Princess took out tea leaves from the wooden cabinet under the coffee table and lit the smokeless beast gold charcoal. While boiling the tea, she said,”Lord Xu, do you have any suggestions?”

This was the ancient version of a nanny van ... This carriage was probably worth a few thousand taels of silver ... Xu Qian sighed in his heart. After hearing this, he muttered,

“Your Highness must have an idea.”

Huaiqing nodded slowly. I’ve never liked Imperial uncle. This matter started because of him. Naturally, it will end because of him.

The unspoken words were,”I’m ready to hand over my Imperial uncle.”

“But even so, the Empress is still guilty of protecting someone.” Xu Qi ‘an frowned.

If Emperor Yuan jing was magnanimous enough to forgive her, then a small punishment would be enough. There was no need to depose the Empress. On the other hand, Emperor Yuan jing could use this to depose his Empress, and his crime would be enough.

Based on Xu Qi ‘an’s understanding of Emperor Yuan jing, he was possessive and had a strong desire for power. This kind of person had deep thoughts, but he could not tolerate any mishaps.

“Who said that Imperial mother was covering for her. It was Imperial uncle who knew about Consort Fu’s case and knew that his actions were about to be exposed, so he sent people to beg Imperial mother. For the sake of her bloodline, mother loathed Imperial uncle for bringing such chaos to the palace, but she still chose to bear the crime for Imperial uncle.”

Princess huaiqing’s expression and tone were as steady as an old dog’s, as if “that’s right, this is the truth” was written all over her face.

This ... “The princess is right,” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

Damn, if he married this woman, it would be difficult to have an affair.

...

“This Prince is very curious as to why Lord Xu interrupted Imperial uncle’s unfinished sentence.” The eldest Princess said lightly.

Xu Qi ‘an calmly examined huaiqing’s sculpted beautiful features. what did Imperial uncle want to say just now? I don’t know. If your Highness wants to know more, I will interrogate him for you.”

He had interrupted the Imperial uncle on purpose because this matter involved Wei Yuan.

For Xu Qi ‘an, there were two things that he had to avoid. The first was the secret of the Imperial court, which did not need to be mentioned.

The second was related to Wei Yuan’s Secret. Wei Yuan was his superior and his backer. If he wanted to survive in the capital, he had to maintain a good relationship with Wei Yuan.

Then, he shouldn’t have known some of Wei Yuan’s secrets.

Unless Wei Yuan told him himself.

Huaiqing smiled and said,”Lord Xu, you don’t have to worry about the Empress. Guild Wei will take care of it.” What you need to do is to find the person behind this. What does Lord Xu think?”

Xu Qi ‘an frowned and looked at the bottom of the purple clay pot, which was licked by the blue-red flame. He did not speak for a long time.

........

Yamen, noble spirit building.

...

The clerk in black entered the tea room and respectfully said, “”Duke Wei, Princess huaiqing’s guards have brought Imperial uncle to the Yamen. Imperial uncle is demanding to see you.”

Wei Yuan looked down at the report and said, “”There’s no need to see someone who’s about to die. Go and inform Nangong Jinluo to entertain Imperial uncle well.”

After the black-robed official left, Wei Yuan closed the booklet and slowly walked to the observation tower. He looked at the palace with his deep eyes.

........

After returning to the Imperial Palace, huaiqing went straight to Feng Qi Palace.

Xu Qi ‘an planned to continue checking the names on the list, so he called a young eunuch to help him.

He followed the list and searched for the last person, but he was rebuffed.

That person was a Palace maid of the jingxiu Palace.

“Sister lang ‘er is serving the Imperial consort. Lord Xu, please come back later.” The eunuch who was guarding the door stopped Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the sky and said with a pleasant expression, “”Then when should I come over?”

“Who knows? come again tomorrow,” the eunuch replied indifferently.

this is an urgent case. I can’t delay it. I just want to understand a little. It’ll only take a few words.

Xu Qi ‘an took out a banknote worth five taels of silver. please make an exception for me, eunuch.

The eunuch who was guarding the door took the silver, turned around, and went in, never to return.

“You’re going too far!” “Lord Xu, that dog is toying with you,” the young eunuch said angrily.

“If I were to barge in like this, what would happen?” Xu Qi ‘an was expressionless.

“Aiyo, you can’t.” “Barging into the consort’s bedroom is a serious crime,” the young eunuch quickly stopped her.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded and turned to leave.

The young eunuch trotted over and said, ” forget it. It’s getting late. My Lord, you should go back first.

“No, this official wants to seek reimbursement from His Highness of Lin an.”

Actually, I can also update at 2:00 pm, but it’s too short. I always want to write longer, and readers love to read long chapters.
