Chapter 374: The East Palace is the prince's backyard
Unexpectedly, Concubine Xue had just relaxed her heart, and the next person's words changed sharply, making her head as big as an ox again.
"It's just that in the last two days, I know why, after the prince came back from a trip outside, he didn't have the enthusiasm for the princess a few days ago, and he was still close. The slave maid personally saw that in the past two days, whether it was breakfast or lunch and dinner, it seemed that the princess was alone, cold and lonely, and the prince was not by her side. What makes the slave and maid feel even more strange is that it makes sense that the prince is not in the East Palace, but the prince is obviously in the East Palace, and he is obviously in the study, but he just didn't come out. ”
Such an abnormality is definitely not something that the subordinates came up with in a hurry.
Let's ask which normal couple stays in the same mansion and doesn't come out to eat together when it's time to eat.
Unless, they quarrel with each other, or something unpleasant.
"Then have you secretly investigated, what the hell is going on?" Xue Fei was anxious.
The servant shook his head, "The slave maid secretly inquired, I didn't hear the prince and the princess quarrel, or quarreled, every time the princess eats, she will still habitually wait for a while, as if waiting for His Royal Highness the prince, until the food is almost cold, then she starts to move chopsticks, but she doesn't eat much, and sometimes she will ask her dowry girl to secretly inquire about the prince's whereabouts in the house." ”
Concubine Xue's face was even more ugly, and listening to the words of the next person, the problem was very likely to appear on the prince's body.
"Just now, after the prince came back from a trip, something was not right?"
Xia Ru nodded, trying to think about it before replying.
"It seems that this is the case, the prince also received some news and left the house in a hurry."
The delicate makeup can't hide the anxiety of Concubine Xue's face now.
"You go back first, remember not to make a noise, and remember to tell you as soon as you have any important news in the future. Also, you've been paying more attention to the affairs between the crown prince and the crown princess lately. ”
After taking away the people who were installed in the East Palace, Concubine Xue called her cronies.
"You go and check the prince's recent whereabouts, see where he has gone, and also, on the wedding night, where the prince went and who he met, you must also check the palace."
The son she gave birth to herself, she, who is a concubine, knows her son's temperament best.
If it weren't for some accident or interference, he wouldn't have been so irresponsible.
The tranquility of the East Palace is the prince's backyard, and only the tranquility of the backyard will not be dragged down by the prince's reputation.
Soon, specific clues were found.
"Back to Niangniang, the prince went out of the East Palace on his wedding night, and he went to the ice lake, and when he came out of the ice lake, it was indeed the second half of the night."
Xue Fei is no stranger to the Ice Lake, and that place is the place that Baili Jingxu goes to most often and likes to go to.
"Did he go to see Baili Jingxu?"
The cronie shook his head, "There is no way to find out, after all, there were no other people in the ice lake at that time." ”
"And what about the past two days, where has the prince been?" Xue Fei took a sip of tea and asked with a solemn face.
"The prince went to the Gu family two days ago."
When Concubine Xue heard about the Gu family, she didn't care at first.
"Although he is the crown prince, he is now the new son-in-law of the Gu family, and it should be reasonable for him to visit his father-in-law in the Gu family."
Only then did the cronies express the doubts in their hearts one by one, "I heard that the Gu family has been choosing a husband for the eldest sister of the Gu family recently, so the matchmaker has almost broken the threshold of the Gu family." ”
Concubine Xue scoffed at this, she was not optimistic about Gu Qinghuan's girl.
