The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 860

Chapter 860: 394 Jiaojiao Majestic (Second Update)

The little episode with the He family mother and daughter didn’t make much of a stir in Bishui Alley, and the family soon put the two out of their minds, as everyone had their own business to attend to and indeed had no extra thought to spare on irrelevant people. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

However, to eliminate future troubles, the Yao Family did send a letter to Yao Yuan, informing him of the He family’s visit.

After that, the He family mother and daughter indeed never visited again.

In August, the oppressive heat of the late summer raged in Capital City, and the Emperor almost went to the Summer Villa.

He didn’t, partly because state affairs were busy, and also because he was waiting for the investigation progress from Eunuch He.

Eunuch He had people watching the maternal family home of Consort Jing, the Marquis of Yong’an, for a long time without noticing any unusual activity; the Marquis’s household certainly wasn’t clean, but those were minor dirty dealings that had nothing to do with Consort Jing.

However, Eunuch He wasn’t without results, he found out that Consort Jing was colluding with Yuan Tang, the hostage prince from Chen country.

The assassination attempt on the Emperor by Yuan Tang had been due to an imperial spy in the palace who leaked the Emperor’s whereabouts to Yuan Tang, all under Consort Jing’s orders.

The Emperor had long known that she didn’t have a mother’s affection for him, but he hadn’t expected her to be so heartless. He clenched his fist, "She isn’t afraid that I might die at Yuan Tang’s hands!"

Eunuch He guessed that Consort Jing had a backup plan. She wouldn’t really let Yuan Tang kill His Majesty; at the crucial moment, she would release members of the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Her main goal at the time was still to frame the Empress Dowager and stir discord between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

But she didn’t expect the Emperor to encounter the ’Little Divine Doctor’ and be saved by her. The Little Divine Doctor even extracted Yuan Tang, the assassin!

"Have all those spies been removed?" the Emperor asked in a cold voice.

"To answer Your Majesty, they have all been dealt with," Eunuch He replied.

If it hadn’t been for this incident, who could have imagined that there were more than ten of Consort Jing’s spies in his Huaqing Palace, even more than the Empress Dowager had placed around him!

It was also his own fault for only guarding against the Empress Dowager in the past and never being vigilant against Consort Jing.

The Emperor slapped his forehead, "I am a fool!"

"What did Your Majesty say?" Eunuch He hadn’t heard clearly.

"Nothing," the Emperor lowered his hand, "Just these people, nothing else?"

Eunuch He did not speak, his gaze fell on the face of Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei’s heart skipped a beat, "What are you doing!"

Eunuch He spoke with an unclear implication, "If I remember correctly, Eunuch Wei was originally chosen by Consort Jing to be sent to His Majesty’s side."
