After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital - Chapter 386

Chapter 386 The thief shouts to catch the thief

 Although the Queen Mother had not heard about what happened in the racecourse before, she was not too surprised when she heard about it now.

After all, in the royal family, it seems that it is not unusual to do anything in order to compete for the throne.

“The Ai family knows what you mean. You think these people originally came for you, but because of Niu Niu, your son received blessings, but disaster fell on that boy from Prince Qi’s residence.” The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

The imperial concubine continued: “The Queen Mother, although my boy is young, he has an old-fashioned temperament and follows the words and deeds of the saints. He will never offend others randomly. The calculations of the people behind the scenes are really hateful!”

The Queen Mother waved her hand: “Don’t worry, the Ai family will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and the people behind the scenes will not be able to escape.”

What the Crown Princess wanted was the Queen Mother’s promise. Only the Emperor and the Queen Mother could find out what happened in the palace. She was most afraid of the royal family and Xini, so she let things go casually.

She praised Niu Niu several times, until the Queen Mother was so happy that she stood up and left.

“The Empress Dowager, the Crown Princess of Prince Jing’s Palace used to be a steady person, but unexpectedly she was also impatient. She rushed here to complain in a hurry, but it delayed your meal.” Grandma Sun complained at the side.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: “We are all parents. The child almost had an accident. It is only natural for her to be anxious.”

“The Queen Mother, who do you think did this?” Grandma Sun asked in a low voice.

The Queen Mother glanced at the old servant and said: “We can only walk within a few palaces, and our eyes are red just for the sake of being invisible.”

When Grandma Sun heard this, a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of her mouth: “No matter how dark the sky is with them, our Majesty has a biological child, how can he still look up to these relatives who are separated by who knows how many layers?”

The corners of the Queen Mother’s lips raised. Compared with these people who coveted the throne, she was just waiting for Luo Meiren to give birth, and then everything would be clear.

“We must investigate this matter carefully and not let go of any clues.” The Queen Mother warned Li Shunfu who was standing aside.

Li Shunfu responded respectfully.

Grandma Sun was a little confused and asked: “The Queen Mother, why do you need to find out? Isn’t it bad to let them bite dogs?”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: “If Luo Mei was not pregnant, this matter would just pass by in a blur, and it wouldn’t matter.”

If the Queen Mother didn’t have her own biological grandson, she wouldn’t care who was the final winner in this battle for the reserve. It was just about everyone’s ability.

Now that she has a grandson, even if he is not born yet, this grandson is already competing for a seat. She also needs to see clearly who is so ambitious and unscrupulous behind the scenes.

She also had to be on guard against this person using despicable means to deal with the Luomei generation.

It was just that not long after the eldest concubine of Prince Jing’s palace left, Princess Qi came running.

“Empress Dowager, you have to make the decision for my Shuo’er! He has always been well-behaved and sensible. If it weren’t for the eunuch’s encouragement, how could he ride someone else’s horse? How could it happen that someone else was suddenly injured and couldn’t get on the horse? Archery lessons?” Princess Qi was about the same age as the Queen Mother. She was crying with snot and tears, and she looked completely dishonorable.

The Queen Mother felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she still said perfunctorily: “Don’t worry, the Ai family already knows about this, and they will definitely not let go of the troublemakers behind the scenes!”

Princess Qi was still dissatisfied and continued to say: “Queen Mother, the palace road is so wide, how could it be so easy for two children to bump into each other? It was such a coincidence that this collision really avoided the disaster? In this world? There are many things about thieves calling to catch thieves. Don’t be deceived by some villains!” When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly dropped.

Princess Qi hinted that the thief in Prince Jing’s palace could just call for “catching the thief”, but she chose to say it in this way. Even Niu Niu was involved in this accident. This was definitely not what the Queen Mother wanted to see.

“The Ai family will make their own decision about what is right and wrong. Please step back first.” The Queen Mother said.

In the final analysis, these children entered the palace because the parents behind them begged them to be sent in, in order to seek unlimited power. Unlike those little girls who recruited children and prayed for blessings, the royal family did not attach too much importance to these children of the clan.

Princess Qi didn’t understand what she said wrongly, and why the Queen Mother suddenly became cold-faced. Although she was afraid that she would make a mistake if she said more, she still remembered what Prince Qi had told her before entering the palace.

“Empress Dowager, after this attack, I also want to visit Empress Li Zhaoyi. Miss Li is also the daughter-in-law of my second son…” Princess Qi made her request.

The Queen Mother looked at her deeply and said, “The Ai family remembers this marriage. It seems that the emperor was the matchmaker.”

Princess Qi said with a smile: “Miss Li San is lively and intelligent. Your Majesty thinks she is a perfect match for my wife, and I think so too.”

The implication of Princess Qi’s words was that she was willing to accept this marriage because the emperor thought Miss Li San was good.

The Queen Mother had always known that people’s hearts were fickle, but she never expected that once Li Zhaoyi lost power, Prince Qi’s palace, which used to flatter Li Zhaoyi, would also start to turn against her.

Princess Qi also felt that she had given the Li family a lot of face. Although she had placed people in the palace, what happened before and after Li Zhaoyi lost power was kept secret by the emperor and the queen mother, and she could not find out more.

Now she only knows that the men of the Li family are still popular in front of the emperor, but Li Zhaoyi did not know what mistake he made and was banned and demoted.

The marriage contract with the Li family was tied to the emperor. Even if Prince Qi’s palace was unwilling to do so now, it couldn’t be too obvious. Hope was pretending at this moment, but also wanted to go to Guanju Palace to find out the true nature of Li Zhaoyi.

“Li Zhaoyi is now punished and outsiders are not allowed to visit.” The Queen Mother said casually.

When Princess Qi heard this, her heart dropped, and the Queen Mother didn’t even bother to cover it up. From this, it can be seen that Li Zhaoyi made a big mistake.

After sending Princess Qi away, Li Shunfu came in to report.

“The Queen Mother, the matter at the racecourse has been found out.” Li Shunfu said.

The Queen Mother became interested and said: “You checked very quickly this time, and the results came out in just one day.”

Li Shunfu had a strange look on his face: “The Queen Mother, the horse slave that the young master of Prince Jing’s Mansion was going to ride on had a needle stuck in its neck, and a herb that could make the horse go crazy was smeared on the needle.”

“After Prince Qi’s young master got on the horse, he waved the whip vigorously. The little white horse ran forward violently in pain. The faster it ran, the deeper the needle penetrated, and the more obvious the effect of the drug will be.”

Listening to Li Shunfu’s explanation, the Queen Mother didn’t have much surprise on her face and said: “It seems that I have seen this method before. Tell me, who does Manu belong to?”

Li Shunfu hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Returning to the Queen Mother, Manu has no father or mother, only one biological sister, and his sister is now working as an errand in Prince Qi’s Mansion.”
