Chapter One Hundred and Four
The most unexpected thing tonight was the death of the crown prince. Dongfang Du has always been planted in the East Palace, and in recent days, she knows all the actions of Dongfang Xi, and Dongfang Xi's henchmen have contacted many organizations outside the palace to plot to take the lives of other princes.
Four years ago, Dongfang Xi dared to hire Gu Hongyi to kill her, and four years later, he dared to hire a killer to kill her, the third prince and the fourth prince.
Dongfang's sense of existence has always been very low, and Dongfangdu's image in front of everyone has always been a half-wasted prince who has suffered from congenital deficiency and is determined to be a landscape, so the most eye-catching among several princes is Dongfang Xu. Coupled with what Dongfang Du said to Dongfang Xi in the East Palace a few days ago, it pushed Dongfang Xu to the forefront, and Dongfang Xi's number one target must be Dongfang Xu.
can plan for many days, but the first to die is Dongfang Xi! Dongfang Du was sure that he had not given any order to take Dongfang Xi's life, and he could also be sure that his subordinates would not rashly act without receiving his own order, and the one who killed Dongfang Xi was either Dongfang Xu or Dongfang Xuan!
In terms of identity, Dongfang Xu, like Dongfang Xi, is the queen from the queen, for the son-in-law, Dongfang Xi died, this throne is most likely to fall into the hands of Dongfang Xi, but Dongfang Qianguo has always been a prince according to the eldest and youngest, even if Dongfang Xu is a son-in-law, the age is also below her, this prince's position, it is more likely to fall on her.
Is it Oriental Order or Oriental Order? Or is it someone else?
Will I be the next one to die?
The eunuch lay on the ground in fear, for fear that Emperor Qianwen would kill him if he was not pleasing to the eye and give the prince a burial, and only after a while did he stammer: "Go back...... Back to the emperor, is it too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... ......The cold sweat on his forehead slipped down from both sides, and his body was even lower, eager to merge with the cashmere blanket on the ground.
"Xi'er is dead?" Emperor Qianwen looked at the eunuch below in a daze, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, got up weakly, and staggered down from the jade steps, "Quickly drive the East Palace!" ”
"Yes, the minion will let people prepare the royal chariot." The eunuch, who was lying on the ground, got up in a panic and hurried out.
Dongfang Du saw that Emperor Qianwen's pace was disordered, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Father and emperor are careful, the crown prince and brother are ...... The crown prince and the royal brother ...... Father must not hurt his body is ......" Dongfang Du didn't know how to comfort his father, so he talked nonsense from sentence to sentence, only praying that his father would not hurt his body because Dongfang Xi died suddenly.
There are only five children in total, and suddenly there is no one, and he is still the eldest child, how can Emperor Qianwen not be sad?! Dongfang Xi is only twenty-four years old!
The East Palace is about a stick of incense away from Weiyang Palace, which is the closest compared to the palaces of several other princes.
When Emperor Qianwen arrived at the East Palace with a group of eunuchs and guards, there was a wail inside and outside the East Palace. The closer it got to the East Palace's dormitory, the more miserable the wailing became.
Dongfang Xi lay on the bed with a pale face, as if he was just asleep, but everyone knew that he was no longer breathing. Only Emperor Qianwen didn't want to believe it.
Next to the bed, kneeling were the crown princess and concubine Qi Ying, the side concubine, the imperial doctor, and the palace maid and eunuch. From the moment the prince died, they never stopped crying, and the one who cried the most was not the prince's concubine Qi Ying, but the group of side concubines. Although the side concubine does not have to be buried, she will live in the cold palace for a long time from now on, and she will not be allowed to take another half step. Only the crown prince and concubine can have an independent palace and spend the rest of their lives in peace.
"Xi'er, what's wrong? But asleep, who said he died?! Emperor Qianwen Long Yan was furious and kicked away Imperial Doctor Chen, who was kneeling on the edge of the bed.
Imperial Doctor Chen rolled on the ground twice, stabilized his body, and hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said to Emperor Qianwen in fear: "The emperor is angry, Weichen...... Weichen diagnosed the pulse of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really dead......"
Without waiting for Emperor Qianwen to ask, Imperial Doctor Chen told all that had happened: "Wechen was on duty in the Tai Hospital, and someone suddenly came to the East Palace to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly fainted, and ordered Wechen to go to the East Palace to diagnose the pulse of His Royal Highness the Prince, and when Wechen arrived at the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was bloodless and lifeless, and Wechen stepped forward to diagnose the pulse and found His Royal Highness the Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no heartbeat or breathing...... said and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said is true, and he has never deceived the emperor at all." ”
Why is he so unlucky!
His Royal Highness the Third Prince Youwang was injured, and he used the excuse to push Lin Shunan to Yousi Palace to treat the wounds of the Third Prince, but he didn't expect that in just over half an hour, the East Palace would suddenly send someone to Xuan Imperial Doctor to diagnose the prince's pulse.
Tonight's Lantern Festival, there are only two imperial doctors on duty, he and Lin Shunan, Lin Shunan went to Yousi Palace and has not returned to the Tai Hospital, and he is the only one left in the Tai Hospital.
Imperial Doctor Chen thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been poisoned a few days ago and his body had not yet recovered, so he would feel unwell and even faint, thinking that he only needed to go to check his pulse, so he also relieved his heart and went there happily, he really didn't expect such a big event!
Who would have thought that the crown prince would die suddenly! The most fearful thing about being a royal doctor is that if you encounter a princess or a concubine or something, you will have to be buried with you if you are not careful! And today, let him meet it!
Emperor Qianwen sat down on the edge of the bed, and after listening to Imperial Doctor Chen's words, he reached out and stroked the side of Dongfang Xi's face, and shouted sadly: "Xi'er~" touched the muscles. The skin is as cold as cold water, there is no air flow under the nose, and the Dongfang Xi is really dead.
This is one of his earliest children, and he is a man, so when Dongfang Xi was five years old, he was directly canonized as the crown prince, and the name of Qianxin was changed to Qiansheng, which means that the prince was canonized, and God blessed Dongqian with prosperity.
The prosperity of Dongqian is the same as in the past, and now, the prince died before he could ascend the throne as emperor! How will Dongqian be prosperous in the future?! This Qiansheng year name is abolished!
Dongfang Du was stunned in the distance, looking at the picture in front of him, he still couldn't believe that Dongfang Xi was dead.
It's all messed up! According to the original destiny trajectory, on the tenth day of October in the twentieth year of Qiansheng, Emperor Qianwen died, and then the crown prince Dongfang Xi ascended the throne as the emperor, and the following year changed the year name to Qianming, and then several of their princes were hunted down by the new emperor. And what Dongfang Du has to do is to prevent Dongfang Xi from ascending the throne as emperor.
But now?
Dongfang Xi died on the fifteenth day of the first month of the twentieth year of Qiansheng! She died without doing anything!
Dongfang Xi is dead, will the fate of their other princes still be the same as in their previous life? Before Dongfang Du had time to do anything, someone took action to get rid of Dongfang Xi, was that person for her, or for himself?
I don't want to stay in the East Palace anymore.
Dongfang Du turned around weakly, dragged his tired body, and returned to Fengqing Palace. As soon as Banlan finished the things that Dongfang Du explained, he waited at the gate of Fengqing Palace.
The news of Dongfang Xi's death, I'm afraid the entire palace knows about it at this moment, and Banlan naturally knows it, seeing Dongfang Du's solemn expression and staggering at this moment, he hurriedly greeted her, hugged her and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" "Why does it seem that he suddenly aged ten years old, is it because Dongfang Xi died suddenly?
Dongfang Du withdrew his hand, "Let me be alone." Then he entered the Fengqing Palace by himself. In the corner of the front yard of the Fengqing Palace, there is a pomegranate tree, the flowers and leaves have fallen, and there are only bare branches at the moment. There was a stone table under the tree, and there was a stone bench on the north and south sides of the stone table.
The night is as cool as water, and as soon as you sit on the stone bench, there is a bone-penetrating cool air. Dongfang Du seemed to be unaware, sitting on a stone bench and looking up at the bare branches.
This sitting is half an hour.
Banlan was anxious, but she was helpless, so she could only watch from a distance. There are some things that she can't persuade and explain, so she can only rely on Dongfang Du to figure it out by herself.
Dongfang Du sat on the cold stone bench for half an hour, and Banlan followed and stood in the cold wind for half an hour. Finally, Dongfang Du withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the bare branches, but turned his head to look at Banlan.
Banlan saw that Dongfang Du's expression was as usual, his eyes lit up, he walked over quickly, and shouted with a smile: "Your Highness~" The cold of half an hour was not in vain!
Dongfang Du's eyes rolled, the corners of his lips hooked, and asked, "It's all arranged?" "Dongfang Xi is indeed her imperial brother, but this imperial brother killed her in the previous life, and he died in this life, what is there for her to be sad about, the left and right are just you and me, and it is impossible to live all.
is dead, and the past qiē will be written off.
"It's all arranged." Banlan replied, seeing that Dongfang Du had figured it out and had been sitting on the stone bench, and said, "Your Highness, go back to the house, it's cold outside." ”
Dongfang Du looked up at the pomegranate tree again, and then got up, "Let's go in." He paced towards the dormitory, and suddenly said before entering the door: "Banlan, if I leave the palace one day, do you really want to follow me again?" She only told Dark Cloud and Dongfang Lingwu about leaving the palace, Banlan, Zhenwei and those under her staff thought that she was planning the world, but they didn't know that she was only planning to spend her life in peace.
At this moment, she calls herself me, and Banlan is no longer a master and servant. A different color flashed in Banlan's eyes, but it was fleeting, and when Dongfang Du looked at her sideways, he was already back as usual, "Banlan said, where His Highness goes, I will go." ”
"You don't have to be like this, if you leave the palace this time, you probably won't come back, I'm free, and you're free." Dongfang Du smiled lightly at Banlan, turned around, and pushed the door open, but saw a person standing in the room, looking at her coldly, only to feel that the air around her instantly froze, and even the action of pushing the door froze.
