Chapter 424 - 424 Something Happened424 Something Happened
The officials looked at each other, then told Old Master Ning what had happened.
It turned out that after Old Master Ning left, that person fell into the moat and died.
It was originally just an accident, but someone mentioned that this matter was related to the Marquis Dingyuan. The officials naturally investigated seriously, and then this matter reached the ears of the new emperor.
The new emperor was discussing something with the ministers in the meeting hall when he heard the eunuch report what had happened in the teahouse.
!!
The new emperor put down what he was doing and immediately ran to look for the Retired Emperor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Father! I have something to tell you.” The emperor looked at the Retired Emperor respectfully.
The Retired Emperor looked at his son with relief. “You’ve already become an emperor. You don’t have to be so formal in front of me anymore.”
The emperor nodded and said to the Retired Emperor, “Father, it’s because some things are more urgent.”
He told her about Old Master Ning’s visit to the teahouse. “Someone is using this to make an issue out of it and wants to suppress me.”
This was the emperor’s biggest headache. There were many things to deal with when a new emperor ascended the throne.
He had conferred a title to Old Master Ning. As he had promised Jiang Ying, he had given the old master a reason to confer a title. He did not announce it to the world because it would arouse the suspicion of some people.
Of course, his ascension to the throne did not grant amnesty to the world like when the emperor ascended the throne in the past. Naturally, it caused some dissatisfaction. These people looked forward to catching him in the wrong.
Old Master Ning was the first marquis he had been conferred after ascending the throne. People were staring at the Ning family.
At this moment, what had happened to Old Master Ning in the teahouse gave that group of people an excuse to attack him. If this matter was not handled well, not only would the Ning family suffer, but it would also not be a good thing for him.
When the Retired Emperor heard the emperor’s words, he frowned. “Send someone to investigate the mastermind first and see who the person who spoke has been closer to recently.”
“I’ve already sent someone. I’m just here to ask Father if this matter has anything to do with Uncle King Chu?”
After hearing about King Chu, the Retired Emperor’s heart clenched fiercely. He suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe.
Why did his younger brothers, other than Prince Jin, want the throne so badly?
Couldn’t they be like Prince Jin and assist him in managing this country?
“I won’t comment on this matter. Investigate it yourself.” The Retired Emperor sighed heavily.
The emperor said a few more words to the Retired Emperor before turning to leave. He wanted to call Jiang Ying into the palace to ask him and see what Ning Yue was thinking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, this matter was also related to the Ning family. He had to see how Ning Yue planned to deal with it.
Originally, this was just a small matter. As long as it was handled well by his subordinates, he did not have to interfere. However, this happened within three days of his ascension to the throne. Moreover, this matter was targeted at Marquis Dingyuan’s family, whom he had personally conferred the title of a Marquis. He had to ask.
Soon, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue entered the palace. They knew very well why the emperor had called them over.
“Imperial Brother, this is the jade pendant I found from that person’s house.” As he spoke, Jiang Ying handed the jade pendant to the emperor.
It was a crescent jade pendant. It was crystal clear and of high quality. It was also made of relatively rare jade. The identity of the person who had this pendant should not be simple.
When the crown prince saw the jade pendant, he frowned tightly. He had seen such a jade pendant with his father before.
Could it be one of Father’s concubines? Or was this jade pendant Father’s?
He suddenly said to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue very seriously, “Don’t tell anyone about the discovery of the jade pendant. In order to find the truth quickly, we’ll each send someone to investigate. Leave the jade pendant to me. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
Ning Yue looked at the emperor in confusion and then at the crescent jade pendant in his hand.
For some reason, she had a strong feeling that this jade pendant was related to the emperor!
She was frightened by her premonition. If that was the case, it would not be safe to leave the jade pendant with the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor was about to put away the jade pendant, Ning Yue hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, I have a different opinion.”
