Chapter 130 Murder and Frame-up
The emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about this anymore."
"I beg your Majesty to forgive me. There are not many people in this world that I care about, and Granny Jinhua is one of them."
Qiao Xi stared at the emperor and said, "So, I must watch Wang Junjie die."
The emperor also looked at Qiao Xi.
This was the first time Qiao Xi spoke to him so harshly since her memory was altered.
It shows that she really cares about the Zhou family.
The more people you care about, the more weaknesses you have, and this is what the emperor wants to see.
It was also because he knew about the relationship between her and Grandma Jinhua that he planned today.
Originally, Wang Junjie just wanted to ruin the reputation of Zhou's daughter, making it difficult for her to survive and forcing her to stay by Qiao Xi's side as a spy.
However, he didn't expect that Qiao Xi's concern for the Zhou family exceeded his expectations. She actually killed Wang Yuan's mother and wanted to kill Wang Yuan's son.
This completely disrupted his plans and put him in a difficult position.
The emperor said solemnly, "Wang Junjie indeed deserves to die, but he is Wang Yuan's only legitimate son.
Wang Yuan is the third brother's man. If you dig deeper, offending the third brother is equivalent to making an enemy for the second brother.
Xier, the second son has suffered for many years outside. I feel guilty towards him and don’t want anything to happen to him again.
Let’s do this. I will let Zhou Lin enter the Imperial College, and I will let Zhou Taoxin stay with you. When I find a suitable person in the future, I will find a good marriage for her.
As for the Zhou family, now that they have the Wang family's compensation, they can either find a job in the capital or stay with you."
He spoke like an old father who took care of everything for his son.
This was originally the arrangement he wanted to make for the Zhou family. Now he could use the name of compensation to avoid arousing Qiao Xi's suspicion.
The emperor thought so.
But he didn't know that Qiao Xi was a reborn person and had already recovered his memory, so she was able to see through his conspiracy in time.
However, Qiao Xi delved into the Wang family's affairs in order to uncover the person behind the incident.
Now it is confirmed that this is the trap set by the emperor against her.
She really didn't need to dwell on this matter any longer, so she said, "Your Highness obeys your command."
But she is determined to take Wang Junjie's life.
Wang Yuan appears to be the concubine and the third prince's man, but in fact he is the emperor's man.
The emperor did not trust her and knew her relationship with the Zhou family, so he and Wang Yuan used the Zhou family to set up a plan, wanting to make the Zhou family members become spies lurking around her.
She wanted to see whether Wang Yuan could still be loyal to the emperor as a dog after Wang Junjie died.
After hearing some extremely hypocritical words from the emperor, Qiao Xi left the imperial study and went to the Imperial Hospital.
She made things difficult for Cao Ying, and made Cao Ying so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick before he left the underground palace.
After the emperor learned of this, he shook his head and said, "She is dissatisfied with my arrangement for Wang Junjie and is taking her anger out on Cao Ying. Once she lets out her anger, she won't act recklessly again."
However, Cao Ying had targeted Qiao Xi many times before. If Qiao Xi didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury, it would be unlike her.
Qiao Xike has never been one to suffer a loss. After her memory was altered, she was only nice to him as the emperor, but that didn't mean she was weak and could be bullied.
The emperor felt that he understood Qiao Xi very well, so he instructed the secret guards, "Send a message to Wang Yuan to reassure him.
In two days, I will have someone replace Wang Junjie, and then find an opportunity for him to go to Jiangnan to serve for a few years. When he returns, the position of Minister of Justice will be his."
This time, Qiao Xi's plan failed as he beat the master to death with a flurry of punches, and also took the life of Old Lady Wang. This was the emperor's compensation to Wang Yuan.
These words quickly reached Wang Yuan's ears. Although Madam Wang was happy that Wang Yuan would be promoted in a few years, she was more worried about the present than the future glory. "Master, is our Junjie really okay?"
"Your Majesty's words are as good as gold, and nothing will happen."
Wang Yuan said in a cold voice, "This child has been spoiled by you. When he is replaced, I will send him to Jiangnan to hone his skills."
The one who truly doted on Wang Junjie without any principles was Old Lady Wang, but seeing Wang Yuan's dark face, she didn't dare to refute.
After all, she usually spoiled her son. After all, she only had this one legitimate son, and she almost lost her life giving birth to him.
Thinking of her son, she felt distressed again, "I don't know how Junjie is doing in prison. He has never suffered such hardship before.
My lord, please beg His Majesty to let him replace the person as soon as possible. I have seen today that Qiao Xi is not someone you can easily mess with.
Furthermore, the servants of the King of Jiangbei are so arrogant. The King of Jiangbei might even hold a grudge. What if he does something to Junjie for Qiao Xi? What should we do?"
She still had a hint of worry.
The emperor wanted the Zhou family to be the spies for Qiao Xi, so he asked the master to lure the Zhou family to the capital, enroll them in his son's academy, and then use his son to make things difficult for the Zhou brothers and sisters.
The son was unaware of all this. It was the master who was secretly fanning the flames. Including the meeting between the Zhou couple and the King of Jiangbei's Mansion today, it was all the master's doing.
She was unwilling to let her son get involved in this matter and confront the King's Palace of Northern Xinjiang.
But the master swore that even if Qiao Xi came to look for someone, his son would be fine.
Fearing that she would stop him, the master found an excuse to let her enter the palace to deliver something to the imperial concubine.
But the result was that the son went to jail and the mother-in-law died.
What Qiao Xi did was completely different from what the master had predicted.
Wang Yuan saw what his wife was thinking and said with a serious face, "She dare not disobey His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't let her touch Junjie, she will never dare to do so."
And Your Majesty will definitely protect his son.
Wang Yuan is very confident.
Seeing his wife secretly wiping away tears, he felt sorry for his son and explained, "Junjie's previous absurd behavior was known to His Majesty, so he wanted to let him atone for his crime."
It was his son's daily behavior that made it easier for Qiao Xi to believe that the Zhou family was really being bullied.
But who knew that Qiao Xi would be so tough and hand over the evidence of her son's crime to the Dali Temple in such a short time.
If he had known that his son's actions could not be concealed, he would not have let him go through this trouble.
There are many ways to make the Zhou family a pawn.
Thinking of Wang Junjie suffering in prison, his brows turned sinister, "Tomorrow, I will go see him.
When the children are out of prison and their mother is buried, I will avenge them."
He wanted Qiao Xi to die without a burial place.
When Qiao Xi returned to the Jiangbei Palace, Su Heting had already taken Zhou Lin back to the palace.
Upon learning that it was Qiao Xi who saved him and his sister, Zhou Lin wanted to kowtow to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi said, "Then let them come over."
Turning around, he said to Su Heting, "I'm going out for a while. Let Bei Qiao pretend to be me, and you cover for me."
"You want to kill Wang Junjie?"
Su Heting guessed her thoughts in an instant.
Qiao Xi nodded. "The Emperor doesn't know I have the ability to disguise myself. The Zhou family is the Emperor's spies who were placed around me. Having them watching over me will help clear me of suspicion of murder."
This is indeed a good idea.
But, “Dali Temple Prison is not easy to enter.”
Qiao Xi curled her lips, "It just so happens that I know how to get in, but I need Su Que's medicine."
The five years I spent in the dark factory were not in vain.
Su Heting kissed her on the cheek and said, "Be careful, I'll have someone call Su Que for you."
"Sister-in-law, what do you want from me?"
Su Que came quickly.
Qiao Xi asked, "Cao Ying knows a poison that can cause people to die from a seemingly fatal heart attack. Do you know it?"
Su Que learned some of her skills from Cao Ying, and she also took away Cao Ying's medical book when she escaped.
Qiao Xi wanted to ask, it would be best if he could bring Cao Ying along as well.
I didn't expect Su Que to be so good at it. "I have something ready on hand. What do you want to do?"
Qiao Xi then told her what happened today and said with a smile, "Use this medicine to kill Wang Junjie and frame Cao Ying."
"Wait, I'll get it for you now."
Su Que ran very fast.
The reason why her sister-in-law was able to enter the Dali Temple quietly was because she had been trained by the emperor over the years. She used the means cultivated by the emperor to turn against the emperor and even throw dirty water on Cao Ying.
Su Que felt happy just thinking about it.
When she came back with the medicine, Qiao Xi was disguising Bei Qiao, and then disguised herself as an inconspicuous maid.
After finishing all this, the people from the Zhou family also came over with the maid.
Su Heting took Bei Qiao, who had disguised herself as Qiao Xi, to meet the Zhou family, while Qiao Xi followed Su Que out of the palace under the pretext of buying medicinal herbs...
