Chapter 691 Still planning for him
Chang Yi has become a useless chess piece to Xiao Wenxuan.
If he can still use Chang Yi to regain power, Chang Yi will not be completely useless.
Xiao Wenxuan was wildly excited.
Before this, what he feared most was that no one would support him and everyone would listen to the Empress Dowager.
Now that he had someone to support him, he would be a fool not to seize this opportunity!
"The Prime Minister and Mr. Rong have a point. I am not a useless person. I am just too filial to the Grand Empress Dowager, so I let her take charge of the government. However, this situation must be stopped."
"Come here, pass on my order to immediately hand Chang Yi over to Lu Hongru for investigation! As for Chang Yi's case of embezzling military funds, send someone else to investigate. The Prime Minister should also recommend someone to see who is suitable to investigate the case of embezzling military funds."
"Investigating the case of embezzlement of military pay is a matter of great importance. I need to consider it carefully before recommending it to the emperor." Marquis Wuyang did not agree immediately.
"Then give the Prime Minister some time. When he has thought of a suitable candidate, please inform me."
"Yes. Then I will take my leave first."
Everyone retreated.
Xiao Wenxuan was still sitting on the dragon throne and didn't want to leave.
This was the happiest day he had felt since he ascended the throne!
It is also the day when I feel most like an emperor!
He loves this feeling.
Is this what power feels like?
He had to secure the throne as soon as possible and take advantage of this opportunity to take back all power from the Empress Dowager!
……
The Queen Mother's condition has just stabilized.
Then I heard the eunuch come to report.
"Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor has ordered Chang Yi to be handed over to Lu Hongru for trial!"
The Empress Dowager was immediately furious!
Although, if she was asked to handle it, it would be handed over to Lu Hongru for trial. How dare the emperor issue such an order without her consent!
"He wants to fight against me openly? Who is supporting him?!"
"It was Marquis Wuyang and Lord Rong who met the Empress Dowager." The eunuch had already found out everything.
"Is it them?" The Empress Dowager was a little confused.
If these two people really supported her, it would indeed give Xiao Wenxuan the courage to compete with her.
Putting aside the Marquis of Wuyang, what does Rong Yuchuan mean? Supporting the emperor?
Ji Chuhe always stands on her side. Aren’t the Rongguo Mansion and the Huaiyang Palace as close as each other?
"Grand Empress Dowager, the Grand Princess is crying out in pain again. She is very irritable and has already killed two palace maids." The nanny came over anxiously to report.
The Empress Dowager immediately got out of bed to visit.
……
Chang Ru has been waiting for Xiao Wenxuan to return to the palace.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Wenxuan didn't come to see her.
However, she finally got the news.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has handed the general over to Lu Hongru for trial. Now, the general has been imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial Court. I'm afraid the general will not be able to escape death this time."
There wasn't much sadness on Chang Ru's face.
Chang Yi didn't love her as much as other fathers, and she didn't have as much affection for a father like Chang Yi as other children.
"You said that it was the emperor who ordered Lu Hongru to come for the trial?" Chang Ru suddenly asked.
"Yes, my lady, it was a direct order from the Emperor."
"Without the Empress Dowager?"
"No."
"This is a good opportunity!" Chang Ru suddenly walked out.
"My queen, where are you going?" The nanny hurriedly followed.
"I'm going to visit the Grand Princess. I want to fight for the Emperor again. By the way, I want to let the Grand Empress Dowager know Ji Chuhe's true identity."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Princess Royal are not easy to deal with. How about we not act rashly? Madam died so tragically. Let's take care of her funeral first?" The nanny advised in a low voice.
"My mother is dead, and the princess won't live long. I have to make plans for the emperor. If I can save my father, he will definitely be loyal to the emperor!"
Mammy looked embarrassed.
The current situation...
How could Your Majesty succeed?
Chang Ru had her own plans in mind.
The Grand Empress Dowager was trying to comfort the Grand Princess. After the Grand Princess took the medicine, the pain gradually subsided and she was not as irritable as before.
"Mother, it's too painful, really too painful." The Princess Royal kept shaking her head. She couldn't bear this torture.
The Empress Dowager looked distressed, but there was nothing she could do to bear this for her daughter.
She is different from others. She has both a son and a daughter, but she loves her daughter more.
Because she always felt that only a daughter could have a spiritual connection with her mother.
"The Empress Dowager, the Grand Princess, and Empress Chang request a visit." A palace maid came forward to report.
"She came at the right time! Mother, I want to kill her! She must have had this idea to poison me!" The Princess Taichang immediately became excited.
"Don't move, let her in and see what she is doing here. If it really has something to do with her, I will not let her off!"
Chang Ru was led in and immediately bowed to the Empress Dowager and the Princess Royal.
"I pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess."
The Princess Taichang gasped, "Chang Ru, are you here to see my miserable condition?"
"No, Princess Taichang, I absolutely do not have such thoughts. I had no idea that I had poisoned my mother. I came here now to express my apologies to Princess Taichang."
"Express your apology? I know you wish I were dead, but you're just afraid that this matter will implicate you, so you're afraid because you don't want to die either!"
"If the Grand Princess does not believe me, you can execute me right now. I will have no complaints! But before you execute me, I have something important to tell the Grand Empress Dowager."
"What do you want to say to me?" The Empress Dowager finally spoke.
"Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I want to report that Ji Chuhe and Prince Huaiyang have rebellious intentions!" Chang Ru said immediately.
"Someone, drag Chang Ru away and beat her to death with sticks!" Princess Taichang shouted.
"Wait!" The Empress Dowager tried to stop her.
If she hadn't heard Rong Yuchuan support the emperor, she would have thought that Chang Ru was making groundless accusations.
Now, she felt that Chang Ru's words were not groundless.
"Chang Ru, please continue." The Empress Dowager wanted to hear why Chang Ru said that.
"Grand Empress Dowager, I just heard that the Emperor directly ordered Lu Hongru to try my father. I asked him about the situation and found out that it was Lord Rong who supported the Emperor and you, the Grand Empress Dowager, in seizing power."
"There is no need for me to elaborate on the relationship between Duke Rong's Mansion and Prince Huaiyang's Mansion. Lord Rong's attitude is the same as Prince Huaiyang's Mansion's attitude. They are trying to sow discord between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Their wolfish ambitions are obvious!"
"Ji Chuhe doesn't want to see my father marry the Princess Grand Princess at all, and even tries every possible way to intensify the conflict between my father and the Princess Grand Princess!"
