Daqing: Chen Pingping's adopted son, biological mother Ye Qingmei

Now, his own lineage has been purged and wiped out, and the one who benefits is still Emperor Qing.

It can be said that Emperor Qing's plan was a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!

This not only eliminated the threat posed by Ye Qingmei.

It also took the opportunity to undermine the rise of her clan's power.

"As they say, the imperial family is indeed the most ruthless place!"

The empress sighed helplessly, then lowered her head, looking utterly dejected as if she had lost all her strength.

……

At this juncture, on the western frontier.

Emperor Qing was examining a terrain map inside the central command tent.

Just then, Hong Sixiang bowed and stepped into the tent.

Seeing this, Emperor Qing dismissed his attendants.

After the generals had left, Hong Sixiang reported:

"His Majesty!"

News has come from Kyoto.

"The one at Taiping Villa is already dead."

"After Chen Pingping and Fan Jian rushed back to the capital, they quickly discovered that it was the Empress and others who were responsible."

"In a fit of rage, he massacred the Empress's relatives in the capital."

"Only the Empress remains imprisoned in Yaohua Palace!"

Emperor Qing was not surprised by what Hong Sixiang said.

After all, all of this was within his expectations.

Seeing that Emperor Qing remained unmoved, Hong Sixiang pursed his lips and continued his report:

Ye Qingmei gave birth to twins that night.

"The Empress originally intended to kill the two children."

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhu suddenly returned and took one of the children away.

"The remaining child, when facing the swords of the Empress and others, exhibited an extraordinary phenomenon: three golden dragons encircled and protected him, saving his life!"

Emperor Qing was shaken after hearing Hong Sixiang's words.

His previously calm and composed eyes now revealed a considerable shock.

"Vision?"

"Three golden dragons encircling and protecting?"

"Could it be the image of the Dragon Emperor?"

Emperor Qing asked in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Hong Sixiang nodded and hummed in agreement:

"The Empress had no way to deal with him, so she led her people away."

"The child was taken away by Chen Pingping afterward."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed:

"That's it!"

"It's quite fortunate that he survived."

Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, Hong Sixiang frowned slightly and asked in surprise:

"Didn't His Majesty strictly forbid princes from having any dealings with the Supervisory Council?"

Emperor Qing smiled meaningfully and said coldly:

"Then the child will be temporarily raised by Chen Pingping."

"It's a small consolation for him!"

"Now that Ye Qingmei is dead, he'll go crazy if nothing gets in the way!"

Hong Sixiang nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, Emperor Qing inquired:

"By the way, what about the other child?"

Hong Sixiang did not hide anything and immediately reported all the information about the other child to Emperor Qing.

After hearing what Hong Sixiang had to say, Emperor Qing sighed deeply and couldn't help but remark:

"That Fan Jian, he really is capable of anything!"

"He even had the heart to abandon his own son for her sake!"

As he spoke, Emperor Qing shook his head and sighed helplessly.

With the most important person, Ye Qingmei, dead, he could finally rest easy, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

"Eunuch Hong!"

"Send the order: the army is to break camp and set off for the capital!"

……

After 893's bloody massacre of 9644! 60

Kyoto has calmed down.

Taiping Villa, on the outskirts of Kyoto, Nanqing.

At this time, many skilled craftsmen were rebuilding the structure.

In the secluded courtyard, a new grave stands.

At the grave, Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, holding the infant Chen Qingfeng in her arms.

"Miss."

“I’ve brought your child to see you.”

"Your favorite flowers and plants have been planted all around."

Chen Pingping stared at the grave, her eyes glistening with tears.

Then, he looked down at the child in his arms.

"This is the young lady's child."

"Even if it costs me my life, I will protect him."

"We will never... repeat the same mistake!"

Chen Pingping made a silent vow.

These days, whenever he has a moment of quiet, he ponders the case of Taiping Villa.

Although the Empress's lineage has been executed.

But many things really can't stand up to scrutiny.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that he and Fan Jian were transferred away from the capital is full of suspicious circumstances.

Take Fan Jian as an example. After Prince Cheng ascended the throne, he served as the Treasurer of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices and concurrently as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He was given full authority to handle all military supplies.

Strangely, Emperor Qing sent him, the logistics officer, to accompany the army on this western expedition.

This is rather strange, since Fan Jian is not an expert in military affairs.

In addition, Chen Pingping himself was also ordered to go to the northern border.

In addition, Wu Zhu was deliberately lured away.

Everything was creating the conditions for the Empress and her accomplices to assassinate Ye Qingmei.

When a series of coincidences come together, they cease to be coincidences.

Chapter Ten: Chen Pingping's Adoption! A meteoric rise to the top!

After careful consideration.

Chen Pingping was also aware of this.

Ye Qingmei's death must have been orchestrated by someone.

Is he really that heartless?

"How could you bear to kill the woman and child you love?"

Chen Pingping felt indignant and began to suspect Emperor Qing.

Unfortunately, after some investigation, no concrete evidence was found pointing to Emperor Qing.

After a moment's thought, he came to his senses.

"Miss."

"I will continue to investigate this matter secretly."

“If there are indeed other culprits behind this, I, Chen Pingping, swear that I will punish them to death to comfort your spirit in heaven.”

"Furthermore, I will do my best to raise your child to adulthood."

After saying that, Chen Pingping looked down at Chen Qingfeng, whom she was holding in her arms.

He saw Chen Pingping looking at him.

Chen Qingfeng blinked his big eyes, pursed his lips, and made a gurgling sound.

Chen Pingping was unaware of the truth.

Chen Qingfeng, however, knew everything.
