Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 105 Consort Xian learns the news and wants to save Prince Qi.

The Glass Palace.

"What did you say? The Prince Qi's residence is surrounded by the Imperial Guards? What's going on?"

After hearing the nanny's report, Consort Xian angrily questioned her.

She was leisurely enjoying tea in the palace when she unexpectedly heard such devastating news.

She had never expected that the Prince Qi's mansion would be surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

After all, the Prince of Qi had been confined to his residence recently and couldn't have done anything, so how could he suddenly be surrounded by the Imperial Guards?

"Your Majesty, I just received the news myself."

"The cabinet, the six ministers, and the seven princes are all in the Imperial Study right now."

“I’ve sent people to check, and the Qi Prince’s mansion is now completely surrounded by the Imperial Guards. We can’t even find out what’s going on there.”

Granny He reported to Consort Xian.

If it weren't for so many important officials suddenly entering the palace, she wouldn't have received the news yet.

Clearly, someone is hiding this from them and doesn't want them to know.

"What's the situation at the Imperial Study right now?"

Consort Xian calmed down and asked.

She knew very well that the Emperor of Eastern Qin probably knew about this as well.

Moreover, it is very likely that the order was issued by the Emperor of Eastern Qin, otherwise no one would dare to mobilize the Imperial Guards to surround the residence of a prince.

"The Imperial Study has sent people to investigate, but there's been no news yet."

"That's what Granny He said."

"Continue to send people to investigate. I need to know why the Prince Qi's residence was surrounded by the Imperial Guards."

Consort Xian's tone was filled with anger.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After finishing her sentence, Granny He turned and left.

Not long after, Granny He rushed back.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Prince of Han. It seems that His Highness Prince Qi is in grave danger this time."

Granny He reported to Consort Xian.

She almost thought she had misheard when she received the message.

But this message came from someone sent by the King of Han, and the King of Han would never lie to or deceive them about such a matter.

"what happened?"

Consort Xian scolded her.

Then Granny He recounted all the news that the Prince of Han had sent.

"What? The Prince of Qi and the Prince of Liuyun are colluding and plotting a rebellion?"

Consort Xian asked in disbelief.

She simply couldn't believe her son would do such a thing.

King Qi had no reason to collude with King Liuyun.

"Yes, this is a message personally sent by the King of Han. His Majesty has entrusted this matter to the Divine Martial King."

"That's what Granny He said cautiously."

"I don't believe it. How could my son collude with Prince Liuyun? Even Prince Liuyun is not worthy of it."

Consort Xian was still not satisfied, her words filled with disdain for Prince Liuyun.

In her view, her son had absolutely no need to collude with Liu Yun Wang.

“Your Majesty, this matter is already a fact. All the evidence proves that His Highness Prince Qi and Prince Liuyun colluded, and the evidence is now in His Majesty’s hands. It can be said to be irrefutable.”

Granny He didn't believe it either, but it was the truth.

"Immediately send someone to investigate this matter, and also send a message to Father, we must find a way to protect the Prince of Qi."

"Someone, help me change my clothes. I need to see His Majesty."

After giving her instructions, Consort Xian prepared to change her clothes and go to see the Emperor of Eastern Qin.

But just as she finished changing her clothes, an old man strode in.

"Your Highness, Consort Xian, His Majesty has issued a decree."

The eunuch spoke to Consort Xian and took out the imperial edict.

"The concubine accepts the order."

Consort Xian immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

"Consort Xian has failed in her duty to educate her son, which has led to Prince Qi colluding with traitors and plotting rebellion. From this day forward, she is confined to the Liuli Palace and is not allowed to leave without an imperial decree."

"Your Highness, Consort Xian, please accept the imperial decree!"

After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he handed it to Consort Xian.

"Your Majesty, I obey the decree."

Consort Xian received the imperial edict with trembling hands.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, how does His Majesty intend to deal with Prince Qi?"

Consort Xian gestured to Granny He to take out a bulging purse and hand it to the imperial messenger.

This eunuch served in the Imperial Study and was very likely to know the information she wanted to know.

"Your Highness, I dare not presume to know His Majesty's thoughts."

Seeing that Granny He was being generous, the father-in-law did not take the purse, but simply replied with a curt remark.

If it weren't a big deal, he could have leaked some information to Consort Xian, but now he dared not.

After all, such an important matter was not something a eunuch could inquire about or be concerned about.

"Your Highness, Consort Xian, this servant must return to report and will take his leave now."

After finishing his speech, the father-in-law left with his men.

He dared not stay with Consort Xian for too long now, otherwise it would be troublesome if His Majesty misunderstood him.

"Your Majesty, it seems that His Highness Prince Qi is in grave danger this time. The people I sent out to investigate just now reported to me that His Majesty has entrusted this case to Prince Shenwu."

"Given the relationship between His Highness Prince Qi and King Shenwu, it's impossible for His Highness Prince Qi to overturn the case. We must prepare in advance."

Granny He made a suggestion to Consort Xian.

There's nothing we can do about it; it would be fine if someone else had taken on this task.

But the Divine Martial King was a ruthless and cruel person.

There was absolutely no chance they could protect King Qi in front of King Shenwu.

"Yes, yes, we should find a way to rescue my son first, but I am currently under house arrest, so it will be difficult to find a way."

Consort Xian was somewhat displeased at the end.

She never expected that at this time, the Emperor of Dongqin would still confine her to this Glazed Palace.

"Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is to try to contact His Highness the Prince of Han and the old patriarch, and ask them to come up with a solution."

"After all, it's more convenient to move around outside."

"Furthermore, all the palaces are probably watching us closely. If we make a single wrong move, we could face annihilation. Those people will definitely not let this opportunity pass them by."

Granny He suggested from the side.

This is currently the only relatively good solution.

"Alright, tonight I'll have Father personally send my secret guards to ensure that Prince Qi's life is saved, no matter what it takes. We can deal with the rest later."

Consort Xian thought that Granny He's suggestion was good, so she directly gave Granny He instructions.

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

After finishing her sentence, Granny He withdrew immediately.
