Chapter 132: Escaping the Truth
Tao Qi passed away, and Queen Tao's heart disease was lifted.
Concubine Jia Shu is dead, Tao Qi is dead, it's been going well recently!
When she saw her youngest son Xiao Chengyi, she said: "Tao Qi died, you are not small, your marriage must be hurried." β
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, had a solemn expression, but remained silent.
Empress Tao was slightly dissatisfied, "If you have anything you want to say, just say it." β
Xiao Chengyi pondered for a while, "Queen Mother, my son has a question that has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and I don't know whether to ask it or not. β
"If you have any questions, just ask."
"Did the queen mother expect that Tao Qi would die today?"
Xiao Chengyi asked.
He is not stupid Bai Tian, Tao Qi passed away suddenly, thinking of the fact that the queen mother said earlier that he would divorce the Tao family, he had to think about it more.
Tao Qi's death was too unexpected, too sudden, and died at the right time.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world.
What's more, Tao Qi has been a healthy girl since she was a child, she has no illness or disaster, and she passed away suddenly, no matter how you think about it, it's weird.
Empress Tao's face sank, and her eyes were indifferent, "Are you suspicious of this palace?" β
Xiao Chengyi lowered his head and smiled sadly, "My son just feels worthless for Tao Qi, she is innocent." The son just wants to know the truth. β
Empress Tao made a straight face and said solemnly: "Tao Qi's death has nothing to do with this palace. Hongu didn't do anything. In the final analysis, Tao Qi was unlucky, so he suddenly became seriously ill and died. β
Xiao Chengyi frowned, "Does the queen mother really think that Tao Qi died of a serious illness?" β
Queen Tao asked rhetorically, "It's not that he died of a serious illness, then you tell the palace, how did Tao Qi die?" β
Xiao Chengyi opened his mouth and stammered, he didn't know how Tao Qi died.
Empress Tao scolded sharply, "You are simply presumptuous!" What kind of person do you want Hongu to be? Tao Qi is the niece of the palace, the palace has always liked her very much, and it was the palace that set Tao Qi's marriage for you. Now you suspect that Bengong killed Tao Qi, you hurt Bengong's heart too much, and disappointed Bengong too much.
These days, this palace has been tormented, and it can't sleep at night, who is it for? Everything Hongu does is for you. And you, for the sake of an outsider, doubt the intentions of this palace. β
Xiao Chengyi looked guilty, "My son is at fault, please forgive my mother." It's just about Tao Qi's death, his son can't let go, and if there is something inappropriate in his words, he is also concerned about it. β
Empress Tao snorted coldly, "For the sake of you sincerely admitting your mistakes, this palace will not care about you." Tao Qi passed away, and the palace was also very sad, but people can't be resurrected after death, and you are not too young, so you should settle the marriage as soon as possible. Li Huanting is pregnant, if she gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, it will be bad for you. β
Xiao Chengyi said: "Tao Qi has just died, and my son doesn't want to discuss marriage at this time. Wait for next year, and talk about marriage next year. β
"You fool!" Empress Tao was very dissatisfied.
Xiao Chengyi explained: "Even if my son is married now, he can't catch up with his eldest brother. My sister-in-law has been pregnant for several months, and I heard that she should give birth early next year. Anyway, I can't catch up, so why bother, let people talk behind my back, saying that my son is unkind. Moreover, the son can't accept any woman now, so he asks the queen mother to forgive him and let the son be willful. β
Empress Tao was surprised and surprised.
"You have real feelings for Tao Qi, you actually have real feelings for her?"
She couldn't believe it.
The youngest son and Tao Qi, since they got married, in order to avoid suspicion, they rarely interacted.
How did you have feelings?
Xiao Chengyi smiled bitterly, "Ever since I knew that Tao Qi was my fiancΓ©e, my son has taken her to heart. As time goes by, feelings can be born without feelings. β
As the saying goes, if you don't forget, there will be an echo.
Thinking about a person every day, I will have a little feeling.
Now, when the person who is worried about it is dead, it is false to say in my heart that I am not sad.
He needed time to adjust, and he needed to gradually forget the person who had passed away.
Empress Tao was disappointed.
As a prince, as a future prince, or even an emperor, you must be ruthless.
Too much affection will only become a burden.
But she couldn't blame her younger son.
Because, deep down, she hopes that her youngest son will be a conscientious person.
Only with conscience can there be warmth, and only then can there be mother-son affection.
is like the eldest son Xiao Chengwen, the heartless man, it is simply delusional to expect him to think about the mother-son relationship.
Queen Tao felt that she was so difficult!
She sighed, "That's it, just rely on you, and wait until next year to talk about your marriage." However, this palace will look at each other for you. β
"Thank you for your understanding!"
Xiao Chengyi was visibly relieved.
He's also hard.
He didn't want to suspect the queen mother, but the queen mother was the most suspicious.
Even though the queen mother claimed that she had not done anything, he could not let go.
Did Tao Qi really die of an accidental illness?
He didn't believe it!
A voice in his heart told him that Tao Qi's death was not so simple, and it was likely that he was killed by someone.
However, the person who killed Tao Qi is likely to be his own relatives.
He was tormented and tangled inside.
Even after Empress Tao denied this, she had the idea of escaping, unwilling to continue to ask questions, unwilling to face the bloody truth.
Occasionally, being a fool will make yourself less miserable.
In the end, he still can't get past his own level.
He left Weiyang Palace in a low mood, closed his door, and closed himself at home.
Seeing this, Queen Tao was angry.
ordered someone to invite the eldest son Xiao Chengwen to the palace.
She got straight to the point, "You have also seen the situation of the third child." There is nothing this palace can do about him. Bengong never expected that he would have feelings for Tao Qi that he shouldn't have. β
Xiao Chengwen coughed lightly.
Autumn is the most comfortable season of the year, and it is also the time of year when he is in the best physical condition.
He drank the tea and said slowly, "The queen mother doesn't have to worry! The third brother's situation is only temporary, and he will soon figure it out for himself. β
"Why don't you go and meet him, and untie him. Hongu was really worried that he would get into the horns. β
Empress Tao has always been worried about the third prince Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengwen laughed at himself, "Queen Mother, the third brother won't listen to me." β
Queen Tao said: "You go and try it, if you don't try it, how will you know that he won't listen to you." β
Xiao Chengwen sighed with emotion, "The queen mother really cares about the third brother!" β
That doesn't sound right.
It's like a simple emotion, and it's like a sarcasm.
Empress Tao narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you dissatisfied with this palace?" β
Xiao Chengwen laughed and said casually: "How dare you! The son is just sighing that the third brother is a good person. was born with a strong body, and was favored by his father and queen mother, and praised by courtiers. Hey, I'm not comparable! β
Empress Tao grimaced, "You don't have to complain. You have always been brothers, and when he got that position, you will naturally have a share of your credit. β
Xiao Chengwen nodded and smiled, "The queen mother is right, my son really shouldn't say those things that seem petty." Since the queen mother asked, the son went to see him and tried to untie him. β
β¦β¦
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, left the palace, took a carriage, and went to the third prince's mansion.
The father-in-law waited by his side.
"Your Royal Highness really wants to obey the orders of the queen mother and go to relieve His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
"Your Highness is a trustworthy person, and what you promise, you will do."
Xiao Chengwen smiled, like a harmless person.
Grandpa Fei's heart jumped, and he pinched a cold sweat for the third prince.
The person who can evade the calculations of his own highness seems to have not been born yet.
Looking at the smile of His Royal Highness, the third prince is already a person on the list, waiting to be calculated.
When I arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion, after being informed, the carriage drove in through the side door.
Xiao Chengyi, the third prince, cleaned himself up, and he was not so autistic that he didn't care about his image, but his mood was not high, and it was difficult to see a smile.
"Second brother!"
He greeted like a desperate man.
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, stood at the gate of the courtyard, "Won't the third brother invite me in to sit?" β
"Second brother, please."
Xiao Chengyi invited the second prince to the study to sit down, and the maid served tea.
The two brothers face each other, and their facial features are six or seven points similar.
The difference is that the third prince is handsome and chic, and he is a standard beautiful man.
The second prince looked sick and pale, worthy of being a sick and delicate woman.
"Did the Queen Mother ask you to come?"
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, took the lead in asking.
The second prince, Xiao Chengwen, nodded, "The queen mother asked me to explain you, but I don't think you need to explain." All the questions, sooner or later you will figure it out. β
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, raised his head suddenly, "The second brother seems to have something to say. β
Xiao Chengwen seemed to smile, "Third brother, there are some things that don't need to be investigated. β
"Nope! Second brother, do you know anything inside? β
Xiao Chengyi, the third prince, who had already decided to escape the truth, was rekindled by the second prince's words, and at this moment, he wanted to know the truth.
Xiao Chengwen shook his head and said earnestly: "People can't be resurrected after death, and the living are the most important." You have to remember that everything the queen mother does, it is all for you. You must not have resentment in your heart, let alone complain, you can only accept the kindness of the queen mother. Remember, don't live up to your mother's expectations. β
Xiao Chengyi's face turned pale, "Is it really the queen mother?" β
Xiao Chengwen shook his head again, "All this has nothing to do with the queen mother, everything is providential." Third brother, don't drill the horns. β
Xiao Chengyi smiled bitterly again and again, "Second brother, don't persuade me. You're right, I can figure out all the problems. I just don't want to accept the truth. As you said, everything the Queen Mother does is for me. How can I be ungrateful and blame the queen mother? β
He held his head in his hands and was in pain.
Xiao Chengwen patted him on the shoulder, "Mourning!" Take care of it for a few days, take care of your spirit, and then go to the palace to say goodbye. Since you chose to go to the Northern Army for training, don't take too long a vacation. Otherwise, from your father to the soldiers of the Northern Army, you will be dissatisfied with you. β
"Thank you second brother for mentioning it, I'll try to adjust myself." Xiao Chengyi wiped his face, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, "Thank you second brother for coming to visit me, I am very grateful in my heart." It's just that on the Tao family's side, I really don't have the shame to face it. If the Tao family has difficulties in the future, please ask the second brother to take care of one or two. β
Xiao Chengwen said solemnly: "I will take good care of the Tao family!" β
There was a twinkle in his eyes, like a monster, trying to devour everything.
