"Your Highness, remember what you promised today. If you break your promise, I will turn into a terrible ghost to collect the debt from you. ”

The poison strikes quickly. Fu Shi looked at the prince fixedly, he was already dead in anger and fell on top of the case.

The prince felt very uncomfortable when she looked at her like this. I want to close her eyes, but it's too unlucky. Only took back the blue jade porcelain vase from her hand and put it back in her arms, and then raised her voice: "Someone! The crown princess fainted." ”

The maid who was guarding outside entered the room in horror, and she didn't understand why the princess was fine a moment ago, but she fell into a coma in the blink of an eye?

This night, Kyori was very unpeaceful.

First of all, the Imperial Hospital sent several imperial doctors to the Prince's Mansion one after another, and the successive diagnoses all pointed to the same fact: the Crown Princess Fu had sudden heart palpitations and had passed away.

Officials from the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites came one after another. The crown princess is not only the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan, but also a life-saving woman with a good life. Her funeral has her own set of procedures.

Overnight, the prince's mansion was closed, and the emperor's eldest grandson, who was about to get married, cried darkly, and the prince also had a sad face.

Since there is a funeral, there are inevitably more people coming in and out of the prince's mansion than usual. When encountering such a thing, the Shenwu Army can't help but understand people's feelings, and those who come to mourn can enter the mansion.

The princess's maiden family came to mourn, and they had no other speculation in their hearts about the princess's unexplained sudden death. But who dares to question the crown prince?

Taking advantage of the chaos, the prince met Lin Xingchao again. I asked for some details and agreed on a specific time.

He wrote a recital and sent it to the palace, first stating his guilt. After finally asking to send the crown princess away for burial, he asked to see the emperor, not to ask for forgiveness, but to see his father in good health, so that he could keep his wife's filial piety with peace of mind.

Receiving the crown prince's recital, Emperor Qinglong frowned. After all, he was his favorite son once, and if he made a mistake and died the crown princess, it can be regarded as a bad year.

The young secretary of the Zongren Mansion, who was standing on the side, observed his words and looks, and opened his mouth again and again: "Your Majesty, the prince is guilty, but it is between the monarch and the minister." He said this and then kept silent.

The implication is that Emperor Qinglong and the crown prince not only have monarchs and ministers, but also father-son affection. He received a big gift from the prince, and the prince just wanted to ask to see the emperor, which was not an excessive request, and he could help intercede.

Emperor Qinglong was silent for a long time, and said, "How many days does the crown princess have to be buried?"

"Qin Tianjian looked at the day, and it was set in three days. "According to the rank of the crown princess, she will be buried in the royal mausoleum - Tailing.

"Okay, let him come to me in three days. ”

The funeral of the crown princess is arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette, and it is necessary to make these trivial details not worry about the prince.

……

Chu Wangfu, backyard.

Princess Chu leaned on the chaise longue couch, and all at hand were the changes in the capital in recent days. The people left by Princess Zhaoyang are very effective, and the information found is reliable and rare.

She picked out the recent news about the Prince's Mansion and looked back and forth a few times before she confirmed the guess in her heart.

"Please come, Lord Wang. ”

After listening to her analysis, the king of Chu was not surprised. "He's been cornered, and dogs are jumping off the wall. But I haven't figured out exactly what he wants to do. ”

"In short, the crown princess did not die of heart disease, there must be something strange behind this. Princess Chu's voice was charming.

"I'm going to talk to my eldest brother and ask him to be more vigilant. ”

When King Qi received the news, his brows furrowed. The prince is like a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, he has always been on guard, but he does not know how the prince will move.

After thinking about it, he personally went to Beiya, and told Wu Sheng to be careful of the palace ban, for fear that something would happen.

The atmosphere in the capital is like the calm before a storm, and the various forces are intertwined, lurking in the shadows, waiting for their fangs to be revealed.

……

Hebei Road, at the foot of Wutai Mountain.

Xu Wan's illness really came and went quickly. But she pretended to be sick for a few days, and today she finally found an opportunity to put the drug in a well in the hospital.

In order to reduce contact with others, the yard is a little far from all sides. In order to be self-sufficient, he also drilled a well in the courtyard, and now it is cheaper for Xu Wanzhen.

She sat down by the well, and no one was wary that she would have a drug in hand.

The woman drew water from the well to make dinner, and the two men who had gone out early and returned late returned to the courtyard. Xu Wanzhen excused herself from feeling unwell and didn't want to eat for the time being, so she went back to bed and lay down.

There was also a woman in the house who was staring at her, and when the people outside had finished eating, someone came in to replace her.

She guided the small flames to warm her whole body, listening intently to the movement outside. Those people had always been silent and quiet eating, but there was always the sound of chewing and clashing of dishes and chopsticks. But this time it was different, and after only half an hour, it was silence.

Sleep, get a good night's sleep.

Xu Wanzhen said: "I want to go to the toilet." She had extraordinary ear power to hear that the people outside were unconscious. But the meal had not been long in coming, and the woman did not know it.

The woman did not doubt him, and helped her to the clean room, where she waited outside. After relieving the toilet, Xu Wanzhen picked up the toilet lid and hid it at the door of the clean room. There was an exclamation of "huh" from his mouth.

The woman hurriedly lifted the curtain to see, and as soon as she showed her head, Xu Wanzhen slammed the toilet lid on the back of her neck. Caught off guard, she collapsed.

Xu Wanzhen was not at ease, so she hurriedly untied her belt, tied her hands and feet back, and tied a dead knot. The other end was tied to a pillar in the middle of the room, so that even if she woke up, she would not be able to get out of the trap in time.

Taking a deep breath, she put on her thick cloak to keep out the cold and pushed the door open. Sure enough, I saw that several people who were eating were sleeping at the dinner table, and the medicine prepared by my uncle really worked very well.

If she had time, she would hide them all. But no one knows when the other party will send someone, and she must leave quickly.

She took off her embroidered shoes and put on a woman's coarse linen boots. Although it is very uncomfortable, such boots can go a long way.

He searched the waist of one of the men, and sure enough, he found a money bag, which contained a lot of copper coins and broken silver.

Wear a hood of a cloak and cover your face. Xu Wanzhen has not forgotten how ugly and terrifying this mask on her face is.

It was still dark, but night in the mountains was falling fast. She had to be able to see the road and run as far as she could.

There was a drug in the dinner, and she didn't dare to eat it. I picked up a few leftover steamed buns from the morning, put them in a bamboo basket, covered them with a coarse cloth, and pushed the door out of the yard. Her dress at this time is undoubtedly the same as that of a rural woman.

In the past few days of pretending to be sick, she has already thought clearly about the escape route.

It's far from the state city, and you can't walk far on your legs. If the other party finds out that she has escaped, they will start a human search, and she will be an extremely conspicuous target on such a country road.

Raise her legs and walk towards the mountain, although Wutai Mountain is high, as long as she enters the temple, she is safe. The future is uncertain, but she has to give it a try, she doesn't want to make herself a hostage to Wu Zhengxiang.
