Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Emperor's Attitude
In the inn, the four princes fell asleep, and suddenly found that there was an extra man on the couch, and he was so frightened that he suddenly became excited.
"Who? Who are you? The fourth prince had the courage to pat him.
The man rolled over.
The fourth prince immediately shouted in shock, "Ahhh β
"Of course Lone is a human being." The prince was disturbed by someone's good dream, and his face was very unsightly at the moment.
Poor to see, he is worried these days, and he has never slept well.
It's easy to sleep a little more soundly today, but I was woken up by this kid.
"Are youβBrother Prince?" The fourth prince tried to widen his eyes and looked him up and down several times.
According to Miss Shen's instructions, after Ji Qing and the others sent him back, they were sent directly into the house of the fourth prince.
The prince was so sleepy and tired that he didn't bother to freshen up, so he fell asleep on the couch, and didn't even bother to change his dirty clothes.
Next door, Shen Wenjiang sat at the table with his hands on his cheeks, with a heavy face, and was speechless for a long time.
Just now, just now, Hualuo received a message from the Pingguo spies from the capital.
Three days ago, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Guo Chongrong died, and the emperor immediately promoted her to Concubine Rongshu.
As for how he died, I didn't say anything about it.
This made her a little undecided.
If it is said that it was because of the incident of the second prince's east window, the emperor asked her mother to die on behalf of her son.
It doesn't make sense.
If she died for sin, why did she become promoted?
Do you want to hide the truth for the people to see?
It is more likely that the queen and the Xiao family have found out the truth and forced the emperor to kill her.
Out of guilt, the emperor promoted her to concubine.
Another possibility is suicide.
Concubine Rong Shu guessed what her son had done and decided to commit suicide to arouse the emperor's guilt towards her, so as to give her son a light sentence.
I think back then, Concubine Rong Shu was the white moonlight in the emperor's heart.
The emperor has true feelings for her.
The consequences of the three causes of death are completely different, and the methods of dealing with them are completely different.
Shen Wenjiang fell into deep thought for a while.
Until the big voice of the fourth prince came, "Sister Shen, ah, you are so powerful, you really rescued the prince's brother!" β
"Your Highness, shhhh
Only then did the fourth prince lower his voice and pouted, "Oh, I know." He closed the door.
Seeing that Sister Shen ignored him, she had to find Hualuo to spit out her bitterness, "I was kicked out by the prince's brother, and he thought I was making trouble, which affected his sleep." β
Hualuo couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, why don't you go to the inner room to rest?" β
"What about you and Sister Shen?"
"We're not sleepy, and besides, it's almost dawn, so go sleep for a while."
"I'm not sleepy, I've slept all night, and I'm in good spirits now."
"Then Your Highness will help the girl buy one and come back early. The girl loves to eat the fried buns on the side. β
"Okay." The fourth prince was very happy and laughed like a big fool.
He had eaten that family's fried buns, and they were indeed delicious, "Then buy one for the prince's brother, he must have not eaten such delicious food for a long time." β
Flowers: ......
Can you not open your mouth and close your mouth to mention the prince?
If it weren't for him, would the girl be so laborious?
If it's useless, you can't even protect yourself, and you can still be a prince.
Hualuo grew up in Huanhua Pavilion since she was a child, advocating the strong, and naturally looked down on the prince's cowardice.
On the contrary, it is the four princes, don't look at the ordinary look of a hanger, but when they are really facing danger, they do not flinch.
No, he also blocked a knife for the prince at the Tongfu Inn.
At that time, she had seen the wound, and it was deep to the bone, and if she hadn't saved it in time, that knife might have killed him.
At this point, the four princes have completely changed.
After the four princes were taken away, only the two of them were left in the house.
Hua Luo said: "Girl, from the perspective of her subordinates, that Concubine Rong Shu should have committed suicide." β
"How?" Shen Wenjiang raised his eyelids.
Hualuo said: "Girl, have you forgotten the son? β
Ahhh
It's really a word to wake up the dreamer.
Yes, the prince is in the capital.
Back then, he was also friends with the second prince.
Because of this, he hurried back to the capital, hoping to see the second prince and persuade him to release the prince.
Even if he can't be persuaded for a while, he will meet the emperor, explain the reason, and strongly advise the emperor to send the second prince lightly.
In this way, the emperor has psychological preparation and a way to deal with it, even if he is angry, he will not be too annoyed.
In this case, it will naturally not anger Concubine Rong, but will feel guilty about their mother and son.
As for the queen, there is also the Xiao family, although they are powerful and well-informed, they will guess that this matter is related to the second prince, but it is difficult for them to find evidence in a short period of time.
The emperor will not believe the accusations without evidence, and of course he will not easily dispose of Concubine Rong's mother and son.
Therefore, Concubine Rong Shu committed suicide.
The concubine who committed suicide can still be promoted, this is the emperor's attitude.
Of course, such a cause of death will not appear in the harem history books, nor will it be widely circulated among the people.
This also means that the leader behind the assassination of the crown prince will not be the second prince.
At least, it won't be him who makes it public.
By this time, it was already dark, and the noise was gradually getting outside.
Shen Wenjiang didn't close his eyes all night, and he couldn't take a break at this time, so after a hasty freshening up, he went to the next door to find the prince.
Last night, she promised Lord Luo that she would send the prince to the palace to meet the officials today.
Then before meeting the officials, you must have a good chat with the prince.
Ji Qing, who had been guarding the door, hurriedly knocked on the door, and only after getting permission did he lead her in.
After the prince slept for a while, his spirit was much better.
At this time, I had already gotten up, and after changing my clothes and simply freshened up, I was standing in front of the window in a daze.
Ji Qing saluted and retreated, closing the door with his hand.
Only then did Shen Wenjiang step forward to salute, and his attitude was even more respectful than before.
The prince then turned around and looked at her with heavy eyes.
Last night's embarrassment, fear, and cowardice were all gone, and he was the prince under one person and above ten thousand, the future monarch of Daqian.
"Miss Shen, let's say, what do you want Gu to say?"
It seems that the prince is also a sensible person, and knows her intention to bring him back.
Shen Wenjiang didn't plan to go around in circles, and said directly: "The folk girl wants to know, what does His Highness think about this?" β
The prince was stunned.
"Does Your Highness want to make this matter bigger, or do you want to make it smaller?"
The prince was silent, and after a while, he asked her, "What does Miss Shen think?" β
Shen Wenjiang was suddenly a little surprised.
Last night, the prince was not so calm, nor was he so "generous", he was clamoring to punish the other party's nine clans, and now he actually asked her opinion.
Was this a test for her?
So what is she going to say?
Suddenly, countless thoughts swirled through my mind.
In the end, she still chose to tell the truth, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the folk girl has found out some inside information about this matter, but there is no conclusive evidence in her hand." If His Royal Highness wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, he will inevitably bring out the old case, I am afraid that it will ...... Your Majesty, on your side, will not be happy. β
