"Qi'er?" When Xuanyuan Hanqi saw that it was Wen Wenqian's maid, Qi'er, he asked her, "It's late at night. Why are you here?"

"Prince, this servant …" Qi'er wanted to say something, but hesitated.

When Xuanyuan Hanqi saw that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, he asked, "Were you bullied?"

"Prince, please save me, Prince.

Wangfei, she … Qi'er doesn't want to die. Please save me, Prince. "Qi'er made up her mind and knelt at Xuanyuan Hanqi's feet as she begged.

"Save her?

What did you say?

What happened to Wangfei? "Xuanyuan Hanqi was puzzled when he saw that Qi'er's words were vague.

"Come with this prince."

Xuanyuan Hanqi brought Qi 'er to the training room. The training room was very large, and there wasn't a single person inside.

"You can speak now."

Qi'er had already calmed down. She knew that only by telling Prince Yi everything she knew, she might have a chance to live.

Qi'er slowly told him about the conversation she overheard between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager …

Early the next morning, Xuanyuan Hanqi went to Yong Shou Palace with a painful heart.

When he saw his imperial mother, he dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs.

Xuanyuan Hanqi knelt in front of his imperial mother and told her that he found out that Wen Wenqian was involved in the assassination of the Eldest Prince.

"This son never knew that Wangfei was this kind of person. She used to be this son's pillow.

This son is sorry, Imperial Brother. I really don't know how to face Imperial Brother. "

At that time, when Xuanyuan Hanqi heard Qi 'er's explanation, he realized that Wen Wenqian was such a scheming, ambitious, and vicious woman.

When Imperial Father was alive, he always hoped that they could love each other and support each other.

However, before Fuhuang's body was cold, his wang fei was scheming to harm his imperial brother's children. How could he have the face to face his imperial brother?

When the Empress Dowager heard Prince Yi's words, she was also very shocked. She didn't expect that her conversation with the Emperor at that time would be overheard. As a result, Wen Wenqian had evil thoughts and lured Concubine Yu to harm the Dun Dun.

"It's still early. It's not time for the court assembly yet. Mama Zhou, send someone to invite His Majesty over." The Empress Dowager felt that this matter had to be brought up to His Majesty.

She had always seen how the Emperor treated his younger brother. She thought that the Emperor wouldn't be dissatisfied with Prince Yi because of this matter. After all, Prince Yi didn't know anything.

The Emperor must be investigating this matter as well. If he kept it a secret, it wouldn't be good. Instead, it would easily cause a rift between the two brothers.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng arrived at Yong Shou Palace, he first paid his respects to Imperial Mother. Then he asked: "Imperial Mother summoned Erchen so early. Is there an important matter?"

"Imperial Son, I asked you to come today to talk to you about Princess Yi's matter.

Ai … Imperial Son, don't blame your younger brother. He also didn't know anything. "

The Empress Dowager told Xuanyuan Hancheng everything Xuanyuan Hanqi said today and the confession she obtained from Qi 'er.

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she looked at Xuanyuan Hancheng. She didn't want this woman to cause a rift between the two brothers.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng saw his younger brother's guilty and dejected expression, he sighed in his heart.

"Last night, we also received the news from the Shadow Guard.

We were just thinking about how to tell Imperial Brother, "said Xuanyuan Hancheng.

"Imperial Brother, Chendi is guilty.

Chendi was negligent and didn't discover Wen Wenqian earlier … Chendi is at Imperial Brother's disposal. "Xuanyuan Hanqi knelt down and said.

Xuanyuan Hancheng stepped forward and helped his younger brother up. "You don't need to blame yourself. We don't blame you.

Imperial Brother is also at fault. If I didn't choose her for you, today's matter wouldn't have happened. "

"This Wen Wenqian is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing Xi. Imperial Son, how do you plan to deal with her?" Seeing that the two brothers were harmonious, the Empress Dowager felt relieved and continued to ask Xuanyuan Hancheng.

"We have already found out that this matter has nothing to do with the Marquess Of Jing Xi's estate. It was only caused by Wen Wenqian's greed.

We feel that this matter shouldn't be made public. Otherwise, Imperial Brother's reputation will be damaged in the future. "Xuanyuan Hancheng also thought about it in his heart.

"Imperial Brother is so considerate of Chendi. Chendi is ashamed." Xuanyuan Hanqi was very moved when he heard this.

"Imperial Son, your Imperial Brother is right. Then let's quietly deal with Wen Wenqian." The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said in agreement.

"Chendi wants to take Wangfei to the Imperial Mausoleum to guard Imperial Father's tomb.

After the one year of filial piety has passed, we can announce to the public that the Princess Consort has contracted an urgent illness and passed away. "Xuanyuan Hanqi thought about it and decided that he should be the one to deal with Wen Wenqian. This could also be considered an explanation to his imperial brother.

"Guard the Imperial Mausoleum?

Imperial Brother, you didn't do anything wrong. There's no need to do this. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said.

"Imperial Brother, please help us." Xuanyuan Hanqi said with a firm expression.

Under Xuanyuan Hancheng's repeated persuasion, Xuanyuan Hanqi was still very insistent. Xuanyuan Hancheng had no choice but to agree.

Today, Prince Yi had submitted a memorial to the Imperial Mausoleum to guard the tomb for the Retired Emperor during the mourning period. The Emperor had agreed.

For a moment, the ministers were all confused. They didn't understand why this had suddenly happened.

There was a lot of discussion below. Some praised Prince Yi's filial piety, while some sensitive people sensed that something was amiss.

The well-informed ministers all knew that something had happened at the Eldest Prince's 100-day banquet yesterday, but they didn't know what the connection was.

At this time, in Prince Yi's residence, Wen Wenqian was dressing up. "Sss … Qi 'er, what's wrong with you today? You're so restless."

Wen Wenqian touched her hair, which was hurting from being pulled, and gently hinted to Qi 'er.

"Qi 'er, you were frightened last night. You don't need to worry or be afraid.

You've been with me since you were young. I also like you the most. I can't leave you.

You also know that I'm the most sentimental person. "

After last night, Qi 'er probably couldn't stay, Wen Wenqian thought to herself.

However, Qi 'er had always been by her side. If she suddenly died, it would definitely attract attention. At that time, if something happened, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. In any case, Qi' er had always been by her side. She guessed that she wouldn't dare to betray her.

"Yes, I understand."

When Qi 'er heard Princess Yi's words, her heart turned cold.

At this time, she was incomparably glad that she had told Prince Yi everything last night.

If other maidservants heard Princess Yi's words, they would definitely be relieved.

But she wasn't …

Qi 'er had served the princess consort since she was young, so she knew her habits very well. Whenever the princess consort lied, her voice would be exceptionally gentle, and she would unconsciously touch her thumb and pinky.

When Qi 'er saw Princess Yi's unconscious movements and gentle words of comfort, she knew that Princess Yi didn't mean what she said.

Prince Yi entered the palace before dawn today. Who knew what would be waiting for Princess Yi when he returned to the fu …

When Xuanyuan Hanqi returned to Prince Yi's fu, he immediately summoned the steward and had him prepare for the trip to the imperial mausoleum.

Then he whispered a few words into the steward's ear. The steward had a shocked expression, but then he hid it and nodded solemnly.

Wen Wenqian heard the commotion and came out of the room. She asked at the door, "Prince, what happened?

Where are you going? "

Xuanyuan Hanqi said lightly, "I'm going to the imperial mausoleum to observe filial piety for Fuhuang."

Wen Wenqian covered her mouth in shock. "Why?

Why do we suddenly have to go guard the imperial mausoleum? Is it the Emperor's decree? "

Wen Wenqian pulled Xuanyuan Hanqi into the room. In front of Xuanyuan Hanqi, she asked anxiously, "How can it be like this? Prince, you are the Emperor's di younger brother. Why does the Emperor want you to guard the imperial mausoleum?

The emperor emeritus has just passed away. How can the Emperor be so cruel? "

Xuanyuan Hanqi saw that Wen Wenqian was trying to sow discord between him and his imperial brother. He was angry.

He really didn't understand what this woman was thinking.

"You don't have to worry. You don't have to go. The imperial mausoleum is not where you belong." Xuanyuan Hanqi said coldly.

"What does wangye mean by this?" Wen Wenqian saw Xuanyuan Hanqi's ice-cold eyes, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Xuanyuan Hanqi pulled Wen Wenqian out. He used a lot of strength and Wen Wenqian could not break free.

"Prince, you're hurting me. Where are you taking me?"

Wen Wenqian was pulled for a long time. The more she walked, the more shocked she became.

They were already in the manor's cellar and it was cold.

Xuanyuan Hanqi threw Wen Wenqian into an ice cellar. As soon as she entered, she felt a bone piercing cold.

"Prince … …" Wen Wenqian fell to the cold ground and screamed.

"Is it cold? This is where you belong." Xuanyuan Hanqi said, "Do you understand now? You're a smart person."

"No … … Prince, this concubine does not know. It's so cold here. Why did you bring this concubine here?" Wen Wenqian already guessed that she had been exposed, but she still shook her head in denial.

"You're about to die, but you still don't know how to repent." Xuanyuan Hanqi said.

"Qi 'er already told me that Imperial Brother's Shadow Guard also has evidence.

You still want to deny it. "

"Qi 'er?!

Hahaha! "Wen Wenqian did not expect that Qi 'er, that b * tch, would actually betray her.

"Why?

Is being the Princess Consort really not enough to satisfy you?

Why did you plot against Imperial Brother's son? "Xuanyuan Hanqi was very disappointed when he saw Wen Wenqian's crazy expression.

"Why?

Why didn't I do it for you, Prince?

If the Eldest Prince dies, our child will be able to inherit the throne in the future.

Prince, why don't you understand my painstaking efforts? "Wen Wenqian argued.

"Rather than doing it for me, you might as well say it's for yourself!

In the end, you're just doing it for your own selfish desires.

The child is so innocent. You're really hopeless. "Xuanyuan Hanqi lowered his eyes and did not look at her.

"So what if I'm jealous? Why do I, a dignified legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, have to bow and scrape before a palace Husband?

Why does His Majesty only want him? How can a lowly Husband's child inherit Xuanyuan's country?

He shouldn't have been born. If only he had a miscarriage back then. Even God is helping him. It's not fair! "Wen Wenqian said unwillingly.

"I've never thought of taking a concubine." Xuanyuan Hanqi said in a deep voice and sighed.

"It's your greed that harmed you."

When Wen Wenqian heard Xuanyuan Hanqi's words, she was instantly speechless. Tears flowed down her face.

"Your Highness … this concubine knows her wrongs. This concubine's heart was truly bewitched."

"It's too late …" Xuanyuan Hanqi turned and left. Once you've made a mistake, there's no turning back.

"No … Your Highness, I beg you!

Don't go, it's so cold here!

Let me go, I beg you, let me go! "

Wen Wenqian suddenly understood something. She looked at the huge blocks of ice around her. The place the prince said to return was to freeze her to death!

She cried out in fear.

"Your Highness, you can't do this to me. I'm your official wife.

I'm your official wife! "

Xuanyuan Hanqi had the guards lock the door and left with large strides.

His eyes were moist as he said in his heart, 'If you really treat me as your husband, why would you do such a thing?'

A few days later, the Marquess Of Jingxi's mansion welcomed an unexpected guest.

The Marquess Of Jingxi looked at the second prince with some surprise, "Your Highness Prince Yi, aren't you …" Aren't you supposed to be on your way to the imperial mausoleum?

The Marquess Of Jingxi's heart sank when she saw Prince Yi's expressionless face.

"Prince Yi, please come with me." After that, the Marquess Of Jingxi led Prince Yi to the study.

Xuanyuan Hanqi had the eunuch following him put a black box on the desk, then handed something to Jingxi.

After the Marquess Of Jingxi saw the box, her heart was in turmoil.

How could his legitimate daughter do such a stupid thing?!

Murdering an imperial heir was a serious crime that would implicate the entire family.

"There's no place for her to return to in the imperial mausoleum." Xuanyuan Hanqi pointed at the black box on the desk, "You should take care of her!"

A few days later, the Marquess Of Jingxi, who seemed to have aged several years overnight, submitted a memorial to the emperor, begging to return to her ancestral home.

Not long after, the Wen family, which used to be an aristocratic family, gradually disappeared from the capital.
