409 Freedom from fighting
Wang Fu's words were not unreasonable, and he also reminded himself by the way. Fang was immersed in Concubine Shu's death, and he didn't have the energy to think too much, but now that he calmed down, he found that there were many doubts about this matter.
Yesterday was the second eldest wedding, even if he disliked Bai Muci a lot, in the three days before his accession to the throne, he should have stayed in the dormitory to prepare for the enthronement, and it was impossible for him to suddenly go to the imperial garden.
It's the same with Concubine Shu, it's summer, the weather is extremely hot, and most of them prefer to stay in the house rather than move around, how could Concubine Shu suddenly think of braving the scorching sun to go for a walk in the imperial garden?
The weather is so hot, the only thing you can enjoy in the imperial garden is a pool of lotus flowers, but according to the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Concubine Shu died at the fork in the road leading to the direction of Dianxi Garden and East Palace, and this suspicion is too great.
Thinking of what the second child said, it was the little eunuch who led him to the direction of the Imperial Garden on the grounds that King Ping was in an emergency, could it be that Concubine Shu was also the same as him, she was led by someone?
And then the person behind the curtain killed Concubine Shu, and then blamed Concubine Shu's death on the second child?
Thinking of this possibility, Xuanyuan Chen couldn't help but be shocked, if this is really the case, then it can only be said that the people behind this scene are too bold! Dare to kill Concubine Liu Shu, who is in a high position, in broad daylight, and try to blame the prince for the crime!
If the second child was really wronged, then why did this person behind the scenes be like this? What is the use of killing Concubine Shu and marrying the crown prince?
Xuanyuan Chen twisted his eyebrows and couldn't figure out what benefits would be involved in the death of the second child and Concubine Shu, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Fu, and said with a puzzled face:
"Then you say, if the second child was really framed, then what is the purpose of doing this?"
"Your Majesty, you have to think about it, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really kills the lady concubine, what will happen to the crown prince after it is passed out?" Wang Fu asked unhurriedly.
After Xuanyuan Chen heard this, a trace of solemnity slipped between his eyebrows, and his eyes were dark and deep:
"If it was really the second child who killed Concubine Shu, I would naturally not let him go. ”
"Then dare to ask the emperor, if this is the case, will you still let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherit the throne?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes tightened, and he raised his eyes and shot at Wang Fu who was standing below:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave for his courage, will you still let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherit the throne?" Wang Fu asked again.
Xuanyuan Chen stared at Wang Fu tightly, as if he wanted to see something from his face, was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"Naturally, it is going to be passed on to him, besides him, who do you think of my sons who are the emperor's materials?"
Wang Fu nodded, and then continued to ask:
"Your Majesty, if King Ping knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to do with the death of his mother, what do you think should be done according to the prince's temperament?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, as if he had understood something, stared at Wang Fu and said in a deep voice:
"You mean that someone deliberately led Concubine Shu and the crown prince to the Imperial Garden, and then killed Concubine Shu halfway through, and took the opportunity to blame the prince who happened to arrive at the Imperial Garden?"
"This is just a guess by the old slave, and I hope the emperor will know the truth of the matter. Wang Fu bowed down and said.
Seeing this, a dark light slipped through Xuanyuan Chen's eyes, and after thinking about it, he realized the unfathomable intentions of the person behind this matter.
The only one who can lead Concubine Shu and the second child to the Imperial Garden at the same time is the boss, Xuanyuan Haodi is the son of Concubine Shu, and it is normal to be able to lead her to Dianxi Garden.
And the second and the eldest have been fighting for me since childhood, and no one will let anyone go, the boss has repeatedly opposed the second child in the court, although the second child will not kill his brother according to his temperament, but he will definitely not let him have a good time.
So after hearing the little eunuch say that King Ping was in an emergency, he thought about going to Dianxi Garden to find out the truth, so he bumped into Concubine Shu, who was also led to the imperial garden by the boss, and then killed, and then had the current ending.
If the real intention of the person behind the scenes to kill Concubine Shu was to let the brothers Xuanyuan Haodi and Xuanyuan Haoling kill each other, it means that this person is definitely very thoughtful and understands the importance of Concubine Liu very well.
And the person who can not arouse Concubine Liu Shufei's suspicion and lead her to the Imperial Garden smoothly must be someone who knows. Because when facing acquaintances, he will take off his guard, without a trace of defense, and go out of the palace with his personal palace maid without a little palace maid and eunuch.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Chen was horrified, who came up with this insidious trick to kill Concubine Shu as the fuse to provoke the already weak family relationship between Xuanyuan Haodi and Xuanyuan Haoling's brothers?
Wang Fu raised his eyes and quietly looked at Xuanyuan Chen, and saw that his face was heavy, as if he had figured it out, so he spoke softly:
"Your Majesty, now that the lady concubine is gone, do you think the crown prince's enthronement ceremony will continue in two days?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen came back from his thoughts, looked at Wang Fu and thought about it carefully, and then shook his head:
"No, now this behind-the-scenes person is trying to kill Concubine Shu and provoke a war between the eldest and the second, if I let the second child ascend the throne at this time, the eldest must be resentful. According to the boss's temperament, he may do something unimaginable. And if the second child ascends the throne, the first thing he will do after he takes power is to get rid of the boss who has been against him. How do you think I can watch these two sons and brothers kill each other?"
"What the emperor said is, but if the emperor does not pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ....... to the emperor?"
"I will pass the throne to him, but after the funeral of Concubine Shu, in order not to let me watch him and the boss kill each other, I have to send the boss to his fief before handing over the power to him, and then never return to the capital if there is no need. ”
"The emperor means that the prince is going to be expelled from the capital?"
"Well, if it weren't for the fact that he was my eldest son, I would have killed him no less than ten times, and expelling him from the capital is not only a punishment, but also a kind of protection? As long as he can't affect the throne of the second child, according to the second child's temperament, he will not be killed completely, and it is enough to save a life. ”
After Wang Fu heard this, he was relieved, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: It's really tiger poison that doesn't eat children!
Even if Xuanyuan Haodi colluded with Fengli to commit the great crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, because of his identity as the eldest son of the emperor, he successfully escaped a catastrophe and avoided death.
In the end, it is deep love for flesh and blood, the heirs of the Xuanyuan royal family have withered, if King Ping is executed after the crown prince ascends the throne, then there will only be one brother left for the three princes, and the emperor is still soft-hearted and spared Xuanyuan Haodi.
It's just that it is unknown whether this King Ping will be willing to settle for his duty and stay well in his fiefdom.
