Chapter 595: Overboard (2)
The death of the county lord of Yiyang who fell into the water soon spread to the palace.
The prince was shocked when he heard the bad news, and stood up suddenly: "What? Yiyang is dead?"
Father-in-law Fang bowed his head and replied: "Yes, the crown princess ordered someone to send a letter to His Royal Highness." said that the county lord of Yiyang took advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention, secretly ran out, and accidentally fell into the water and drowned by the pond. ”
"Niangniang, please Your Highness go home immediately. ”
The prince's mind was confused, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.
Why did Yiyang die unexpectedly?
What was going on with her illness, of course his father knew very well. She's not crazy at all!
Could it be that he has been locked in the house for a long time, and he is really suffocated and crazy, so he will easily fall into the water?
Still is...... What's going on here?
The prince didn't say anything, and Father-in-law Fang waited quietly on the side. The sudden death of the county lord of Yiyang is indeed confusing. However, with his understanding of the master, I am afraid that he will not get to the bottom of it.
People can't be resurrected after death, can they track down the crown princess or the princess for a Yiyang county lord!
Sure enough, after a while, the crown prince relieved himself and opened his mouth and said, "Go and report this matter to my father first." If you tell someone to come, you will say that Gu must return home by tonight. ”
Funing Temple.
The prince reported the accidental death of the county lord of Yiyang with a sad face.
Emperor Yuanyou was also a little sad and regretful: "Yiyang is still a minor, and he died early, which is a pity." ”
died of a granddaughter, Emperor Yuanyou really felt a pity. However, it is only a pity.
First, Emperor Yuanyou paid more attention to the emperor's grandson, and was much less attentive to his granddaughters. Second, the county lord of Yiyang was born by the side concubine, and Emperor Yuanyou was very disgusted with the side concubine, and he did not have much good impression of the county lord of Yiyang.
Moreover, it is not uncommon for children to die at this time. It's even more common in the heavenly home......
Emperor Yuanyou sighed for a moment, and then said: "You go back to your house and bury Yiyang well." ”
The prince replied and returned to the house.
……
When I returned to Fuchu, it was already evening.
In early winter, cold winds gust and the weather is cold and uncomfortable.
The prince had a gloomy face and hurriedly entered the courtyard of the county lord of Yiyang.
The people who were originally serving by the side of the county lord of Yiyang are all gone, and now the people who are guarding the courtyard are all the people around the crown princess.
When the palace maids saw the prince, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”
The crown prince frowned and asked, "What about the crown princess?"
One of the palace maids replied: "The crown princess has to take care of the two little princes, and she has returned to Xuemei Courtyard." The princess also returned to Wutong Residence. His Royal Highness the Taisun and the King of Anping County, as well as the side concubine Niangniang, the county lord of Hengyang and the county lord of Danyang, were all guarding in the house. ”
Brother Qi and Brother Lin want to be taken care of, and Ah Yi and Gillian are even more inseparable. The crown princess and Gu Wanning didn't stay here, but it makes sense.
Actually, even if you keep it, what can you do? People are dead, and they will never come back to life.
The prince had no expression on his face, and slowly walked into the room.
It was dark, the candlesticks had not yet been lit in the room, and the light was getting dimmer. At first glance, everyone's faces were a little blurred.
As soon as the prince entered, all the people who were standing in the house immediately got up and saluted.
The prince's gaze swept over one by one.
Concubine Li, who had a somewhat sad face and wiped the corners of her eyes from time to time, the county lord of Hengyang with red eyes and tears on her face, the county lord of Danyang with red and swollen eyes and a frightened face, and the county king of Anping who looked overly sad and indifferent.
Finally, there is the grandson with sadness in his eyes.
As for the dead lord of Yiyang lying on the bed...... The prince didn't have the courage to look at it for the time being, so he asked in a deep voice, "Ah Xu, what's going on today?"
The grandson's rhetoric is the same as that of the person who entered the palace to report the news: "...... The second sister suffered this accident, and Erchen was very shocked and heartbroken. The son knew that his father must be very sad now. It's just that the deceased is gone, no matter how sad and sad she is, the second sister can't come back. Please also mourn on your father's day and take care of your health. ”
In fact, the prince, who didn't have much sadness, sighed solemnly: "You are filial, and you know it." ”
After a pause, he looked at the king of Anping County again: "Ah Qi, Gu knows that you and Yiyang are the most close. This time Yiyang fell into the water and died, you must be very sad. It's just that don't hurt your body. ”
In the past, when the prince was so concerned, the king of Anping must have been very happy in his heart.
But at this time, Yiyang's bones were not cold, and his heart was like a knife. Hearing the prince's fatherly tone, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach.
If the prince really cared about their brother and sister, how could they end up like this?
King Anping raised his head and said with the last glimmer of hope: "The death of the second sister is quite suspicious. The son pleaded with his father to investigate the matter thoroughly, find out the murderer of the second sister, and avenge the second sister's grievances. ”
The prince said: "Yiyang is suffering from madness, and he will run around." Lone ordered her to be locked up and not allowed to run around at will, just for the sake of her safety. She ran out like this, and if she had an accident, she blamed the people around her for not taking good care of her. Lone must punish these people severely. ”
The king of Anping County is like ice.
When the prince said this, he obviously did not intend to delve into it.
The second sister died in vain.
He thought his tears had dried up, but now they overflowed the corners of his eyes.
……
When the prince saw the king of Anping County crying, he felt quite uncomfortable. He walked to the side of the bed and glanced at the county lord of Yiyang.
The appearance after drowning is really terrifying.
The prince only glanced at it, and then he felt frightened, and he didn't want to look at it anymore, so he twisted his head to the side: "Lonely, I ordered someone to prepare a coffin, so that Yiyang can be buried tonight." You've been guarding for so long, and you've done your best, so go back!"
Concubine Li stayed up all afternoon and wanted to leave a long time ago. Hearing this, he immediately said: "The county lord of Danyang is still young, and I am afraid that he will be frightened today, so the concubine will lead the county lord back and coax the county lord to sleep and rest first." ”
After speaking, he led the county lord of Danyang away.
The county lord of Hengyang also retired.
The king of Anping refused to leave: "Erchen wants to send the second sister on her last journey." ”
The prince looked at the stubborn face of King Anping, and a burst of irritability suddenly surged in his heart.
How did the clever and understanding son of the past become so unlikable now!
The grandson opened his mouth and said, "My father has been tired and busy in the palace for a long time, so he should rest early." Erchen stayed with the second brother to deal with the second sister's death. ”
This sounds particularly pleasing and intimate.
The prince thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay." You're already an adult, and you're on your own. The future of Yiyang is up to you. ”
With that, the prince left.
King Anping stared fiercely at the prince's figure, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.
It wasn't until the prince's back disappeared in front of him that the king of Anping turned his head and met the calm gaze of the prince.
The resentment that King Anping had suppressed for a long time suddenly surged up.
