Chapter 263 Cannot Be Suspected
Ning Yi was scolded by the old emperor and ran to find the empress as ordered.
It felt like the old emperor personally asked him to sleep with the empress.
But Ning Yi didn't have time to think about these weird things now. He just blamed Dongfang Qing a little.
I don’t know what nonsense this woman said about him in front of the emperor, which caused the old emperor to keep holding on to the matter between him and the Dongfang family.
They even wanted to take away his command of the Beijing camp.
Dongfang Qing was also stunned, her beautiful eyes full of confusion: "I didn't say anything."
"The old fellow is just asking me what the relationship is between the Dongfang family and you, Your Majesty."
"I was just saying this perfunctorily. There are some business dealings, nothing more."
Ning Yi frowned and looked at the woman with some disbelief.
In Ning Yi's opinion, Dongfang Qing was a very scary woman, as she was actually thinking about how to poison the old emperor.
"That's really all."
"Of course." Dongfang Qing muttered.
But soon she propped herself up with her two white arms and sat up, looking at Ning Yi dissatisfiedly: "You idiot, what do you mean?"
"Do you still think I would lie to you?"
"That's not what I meant." Ning Yi saw that she was angry, and immediately hugged her to persuade her.
After all, Dongfang Qing is now the empress. Although she has no power outside the palace, she is in charge of the harem and can make the old emperor dislike her at any time.
"Then what do you mean?" Dongfang Qing angrily shook off his claws. "You idiot! I'm the queen, and I've humbled myself to be with you. I've thought about you, a heartless man, day and night, and yet you're doubting me? Do you still have a conscience? Get out of here right now."
Dongfang Qing was very annoyed. She simply couldn't accept that the Sixth Prince, this bastard, didn't believe her.
But Dongfang Qing is now wholeheartedly thinking about how to live with Lao Liu, the bastard.
Not only did he give up the throne to his own son, he also wanted to kill the old emperor as soon as possible. He also often wrote letters to the Dongfang family, asking them to help the Sixth Prince more.
Wasn't it all because of this unfaithful man? This bastard actually doubted her so much.
Dongfang Qing was extremely angry. She was the queen, how could she allow the Sixth Prince to doubt her like this, even the slightest bit of doubt was unacceptable.
Ning Yi had no choice but to hug her forcefully, but the Queen Mother angrily told him to get out.
Ning Yi frowned: "Can you be quiet and listen to me."
Dongfang Qing fell silent, held in his arms.
But she still stared at him with a cold expression: "Okay, tell me, if you don't satisfy me, I will castrate you."
Ning Yi's mouth twitched wildly. You are a vicious woman, you have such a vicious mind.
This prince often comes to serve you and makes you feel very comfortable, but you actually want to castrate me. Is your heart made of iron?
Ning Yi had no choice but to tell the old emperor all the accusations he had made in the hall just now.
The emphasis is that your queen had complaints against me in front of the emperor, which is why the Dongfang family was involved.
Dongfang Qing instantly became furious: "How is this possible? How could I possibly say bad things about you in front of that old bastard?"
"I can't wait to protect you, little scoundrel."
Ning Yi saw that she really didn't seem to be lying.
While hugging Dongfang Qing, the most beautiful girl, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we have all been fooled by the old man."
Dongfang Qing's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
Ning Yicai said, "The old fellow scolded this prince in your name, and then blamed this prince for having some connection with the Dongfang family."
"Using this as an excuse, you are trying to take away this prince's command of the Beijing Camp."
"But..." Ning Yi said slowly, "He actually asked the Dongfang family to behave themselves in the future. Tell me, what exactly did the Dongfang family do?"
"If you had only traded a few thousand pieces of armor with this prince, it would be impossible for you to be singled out by the old emperor like this."
Dongfang Qing lowered her head, biting her lips and mumbling, "I don't know either. I guess my brother did something to displease the old man."
"And also to express my dissatisfaction with me, and then take advantage of the opportunity to seize your command of the Beijing Camp."
Dongfang Qing was talking when she suddenly put her arms around Ning Yi's neck, her beautiful eyes full of worry: "My dear, if this old man takes away your command of the Beijing Camp, will it be bad for you?"
"That won't happen." Ning Yi was still quite confident: "This prince has never done anything excessive, and he even helped him train the Beijing Camp."
"Besides, this prince has not won over any officers from the Beijing Camp."
From any perspective, the old emperor should not punish him.
In fact, he felt that the old emperor just wanted to find a reason to take away the command of the army.
He was also worried that his son would continue to control the Beijing Camp and one day he would sideline him after taking control of the Beijing Camp.
Dongfang Qing thought about it and nodded slightly: "As long as you don't cause trouble."
Just as she was relieved, she became worried again, "My dear, you have finally gained control of the Beijing Camp. If he takes it away from you, then when will we be able to accomplish anything? Are you going to leave me waiting in the palace in unrequited love?"
Dongfang Qing feels like every day is a year long because of this unrequited love and she cannot be with her husband.
Ning Yi kissed her cherry lips and comforted her, "Don't worry, darling. He wants to take away the military power, but not everything will go as he wishes. My dear, I have many plans. There is really no need to rush this."
Ning Yi would not say anything else. After all, no one could know about the affairs of his base.
Apart from Qin Haifeng who was guarding him, no one else knew what was going on.
Even Yang Ziqin, the legitimate princess consort, only knew Zeng Rou's father, who was arranged by Ning Yi to go out and do business.
I only know that it is very important to Ning Yi, and there are many things assigned to him.
As for others, Ning Yi would not believe them.
What's more, there is the Empress Dowager, whom Ning Yi has always been unsure of.
After the two of them had been flirting for a long time, Ning Yi warned her not to let the old man find out about their relationship, otherwise they would both end up in a miserable state and be despised by everyone.
Dongfang Qing knew very well that if their ambiguous relationship was exposed, she would have no way out.
Both of them are smart and clever people, and they can quickly get rid of their infatuation.
Dongfang Qing also went to the imperial study in person to apologize to the old emperor.
One reason she did this was to reassure the old emperor, and the other was to find out why the old emperor was dissatisfied with the Dongfang family.
The Dongfang family had done armor business before. Not only the Dongfang family, but many aristocratic families had done so.
Just because the Dongfang family sold thousands of armors to the Sixth Prince?
Not to the point.
These thousands of pieces of armor would not allow the Sixth Prince to successfully rebel, they were just arming his own guards.
After all, as a prince, it is not too much for him to have thousands of guards, right?
The former Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had tens of thousands of private soldiers.
Looking at the empress kneeling before him and actively apologizing, the old emperor said calmly, "The Dongfang family has been doing a lot of business over the years, right?"
