Chapter 118 Emperor Qing's Decision

When Emperor Qing saw that the empress dowager looked very bad, he knew that she must not have had enough rest in the past few days.

No matter what, the prince is her grandson and has been loved by her since he was a child.

However, Emperor Qing naturally would not believe what the Queen Mother had just said.

In fact, he knew what the Queen Mother meant.

I guess at that time, when she saw the prince's body, she also discovered the tragic scene, which was exactly the same as when Ye Qingmei killed someone before.

It was also because of this that the Queen Mother was very wary of Ye Qingmei, even to the point of fear.

Be it the Queen Mother or even Emperor Qing himself, they were all very wary of Ye Qingmei.

Ultimately, it was because of the weapon in her hand.

It can kill anyone directly from two miles away, leaving no room for resistance, and is hard to guard against.

Thinking about this matter, it feels particularly scary.

Emperor Qing pondered and said, "Mother, I know what you mean."

"But please rest assured, I will handle this matter myself and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are now the ruler of a country, in charge of all the affairs of the Qing Kingdom."

"But don't forget, the prince is not only the prince, he is also your biological son!"

"If this matter is not handled properly, how can we tell the world?"

"If a prince can be easily killed in the palace without being punished, how will others view our royal family?"

Emperor Qing nodded immediately and said, "Mother, your teaching is very correct. I know what to do."

In fact, even if the Queen Mother didn't say it, Emperor Qing would severely punish the murderer.

This is not just a murder, it's more of a provocation!
Challenge the dignity of the entire royal family and the supreme imperial power.

If there is no severe punishment, there will definitely be others who will follow suit.

Therefore, Emperor Qing would never tolerate this.

The Queen Mother also knew that the person who killed the Prince was not Ye Qingmei.

The reason why she said that just now was entirely to warn Emperor Qing.

Because the Queen Mother didn't want Emperor Qing to be confused about this matter.

After all, imperial power is inviolable!
No matter who it is, if they dare to ignore the imperial power, the only end is death!
The Queen Mother saw that Emperor Qing's attitude just now was very sincere, so she didn't say anything more.

She sighed again and said, "Your Majesty, I know you will punish this severely."

"If that's the case, I'll take my leave and wait for your news."

Emperor Qing immediately bowed and said, "Then I will respectfully send you off, mother."

The Queen Mother nodded, said nothing more, and turned and left.

After the Queen Mother left the Imperial Study, a strange look appeared on Emperor Qing's face.

He walked slowly to the outside of the imperial study, stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at the magnificent scenery in the distance, thoughtful.

After a while.

Hong Siyang's figure suddenly appeared behind Emperor Qing like a ghost, bowed his head and said:
"Your Majesty, the old slave is back."

Emperor Qing nodded slightly and said, "How is the investigation going?"

Hong Siyang replied, "Your Majesty, I have searched the entire city of Kyoto, but still cannot find any trace of the murderer."

"However, this old servant discovered that the Second Prince and Miss Ye were shopping in Kyoto this morning."

"Really?" Emperor Qing nodded and said, "It seems that the two of them are developing very quickly."

"But this is within my expectations."

Hong Siyang added: "Not only that, even Mr. Fan's children are strolling around the streets."

"Later, they met and had lunch together."

When Emperor Qing heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Hong Siyang in front of him and said:

"What did you say?"

"The second brother met that kid?"

"Did you eat together?" Hong Siyang nodded and said, "Absolutely true."

Emperor Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Did anything happen to them?"

Hong Siyang said: "That's not the case. The Second Prince and the eldest son of the Fan family get along well."

Emperor Qing suddenly laughed and said, "This is a bit strange."

"Logically speaking, they have never met each other, so they shouldn't be very familiar with each other."

"We can actually sit together and eat?"

Having said that, Emperor Qing's face immediately darkened, and a feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart.

If nothing happened to the prince, then Fan Xian wouldn't have to worry about anything if he made friends with Li Chengze. He was looking forward to the two of them doing so.

After all, if the two of them stood together, it would be more important for the training of the prince.

Both of them will be a good whetstone.

But now, the prince was suddenly killed, and things have taken a turn for the worse.

Even if the whetstone is very good, what is the use of it if you don’t have a knife?
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing asked again: "Where did that kid go after he separated from the second brother?"

Hong Siyang shook his head and said, "After the eldest son of the Fan family and the second prince left, they went home with their younger brothers and sisters."

"only……"

Emperor Qing asked: "Just what?"

Hong Siyang said: "It's just that Chen Pingping went to Fan's house at this time and hasn't come out yet."

"What?" When Emperor Qing heard Hong Siyang's words, a gloomy look immediately appeared on his face.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with Chen Pingping going to the Fan Mansion.

But, in the past two days, something is wrong.

Especially recently, Fan Xian has returned to the Fan Mansion, which forced him to connect this matter together.

Thinking back to the past, the relationship between Chen Pingping and Ye Qingmei...

Emperor Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I already know about this."

"You can go down now. You don't need to investigate the murderer anymore."

"Okay, I'll take my leave now." Hong Siyang nodded in agreement, then turned and left.

After a while.

Emperor Qing sighed slowly and said, "Fan Xian!"

"Don't let me down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qing flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked directly into the imperial study.

……

at the same time.

Fan Mansion, backyard.

"Are you the president of the Supervisory Council?" Fan Xian looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and asked, "Why, do you know me?"

Fan Xian nodded, picked up an apple from the table next to him, and said:
"I heard Master talk about you."

"Master?" Chen Pingping thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean Fei Jie."

Fan Xian said: "Yes, he is my master."

"But, you didn't come to see me today just to chat, did you?"

Chen Pingping asked, "Is it okay?"

Fan Xian glanced at Chen Pingping and nodded, "It's not impossible."

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Actually, I came to see you today for nothing else."

"Your mother was very kind to me back then, so now that you are in Kyoto, I naturally want to come and see you."
