Chapter 827: Zhong Shuyun's Death (Second Update)
Mr. Hu heard that Princess Dingtao's tone was a little lacking in confidence and a little weak-hearted.
He snickered inwardly, admiring his wit again.
sighed again, even if you are a princess, you can't escape the word 'love'.
I just don't know how far it has developed between her and Ling Changan.
By the way, Dingtao has a child.
Don't......
When I calculate the time, it seems to be wrong.
Moreover, she and Ling Changan are years apart.
Ling Chang'an is the son of a family, so why not be entangled with an elderly princess who guards the 'living widow'.
There were a lot of questions that he couldn't figure out, so he seemed cautious about the rest of the conversation.
"Does Her Royal Highness the Princess know Ling Gongzi?"
Ding Tao turned his gaze, avoided his visit, and said, "I don't know!" β
"Huh? That's a shame! At the end of last year, I was fortunate to see Ling Gongzi in the county guard's mansion, and he was called Yushu Linfeng. I don't know who is better than him and his brother Ling Changzhi? β
Princess Dingtao sneered, "Ling Chang'an and Ling Changzhi are years apart, Ling Changzhi is old enough to be Ling Chang'an's father, how can the two be compared." β
Mr. Hu chimed in: "The princess has a point. β
Princess Dingtao snorted coldly, "There is so much nonsense, Mr. Hu hasn't explained his intentions yet." The palace declares in advance that your gifts are all for free, and the palace does not know anything about the affairs of the court. β
Mr. Hu smiled when he heard this, "The princess is too worried, and the student said that the gift is all based on her heart, and there is no intention." It was a pleasure to chat with the princess today. The hour is not early, and the students will not disturb the princess to rest and take their leave! β
After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.
Hey?
Is it just gone?
Now it was Princess Dingtao's turn to look confused.
"Wait!"
"The princess called me?"
Princess Dingtao regretted a little and called the other party away, she wanted to wave her hand to drive the other party away, but she was unwilling and felt a little embarrassed.
She coughed lightly, pretended to be calm, and scolded sharply: "Say, what is your purpose?" Don't say any more nonsense that gifts are all based on your heart, are you a three-year-old child in this palace? β
Ay!
Mr. Hu sighed.
He said in a sincere tone: "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, the death of the King of Bushan County, the Lord of Pingyang has always felt very guilty.
The county lord instructed the students to have the opportunity to visit the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. It's just that the student's identity is insufficient, and it may arouse Jin Wuwei's suspicion. As a last resort, I can only ask for the princess.
It's just that, after entering the door, when he saw the princess, the student began to regret it again. Since the princess chose to stay away from the court, the students should not let the princess fall into this muddy water.
Today, Her Royal Highness the princess treated her as if the student had never come, and the student found another way. β
"You just said that the county lord of Pingyang is very guilty, is this true?"
"It's true! The county lord has said more than once that she regrets that she shouldn't have asked Empress Dowager Tao to go north to worship her ancestors. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have issued an order to let the three county kings go north. Ay...... It's all fate. Who would have thought that the three county kings would go north and all of them would die on the way. β
Princess Dingtao bit her lip lightly and snorted coldly, "The county lord of Pingyang is so kind? β
"The county lord has always been a kind-hearted person. Her Royal Highness the princess thinks about it carefully, who has the county lord's mother harmed over the years, and who has she taken the initiative to have a grudge with? β
"Not really."
"That's right! This is enough to prove that the county lord is a kind-hearted person. At the beginning, she was also kind-hearted, who would have thought that His Majesty would take advantage of her kindness......"
"Shut up! You don't know anything about it, so you don't talk nonsense. β
"Yes, yes, Her Royal Highness the princess has taught the right lesson, and the students really don't know the inside story. Dare to ask, can Her Royal Highness the princess help transfer the gift to the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian? β
Princess Dingtao frowned and thought for a while, and asked again, "Is it really the Pingyang County Lord who ordered you to do this?" It's not about Yan Yunge? β
Mr. Hu swore to the sky, "The students dare not deceive Her Royal Highness the Princess, otherwise they will be thundered by the sky." β
Dingtao then relaxed his vigilance, "Okay, this palace will go for you and send the gift to your sister-in-law." Hongu reminds you not to think about playing tricks. β
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
The gifts prepared by Mr. Hu to the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun include gold, silver and jade, cloth and medicinal materials, all of which are precious items.
He handed all the gifts to Dingtao, and then decisively said goodbye and left.
Two days later, Ding Tao personally came to the door and transferred the gift to the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun.
Knowing that it was the intention of Xiao Shi, the lord of Pingyang, the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, Zhong Shuyun, endured it without having a seizure, and also stayed in Dingtao to eat a vegetarian meal.
β¦β¦
After Dingtao came to the door, a few more days passed.
Since returning to Jianzhou City, Zhong Shuyun, the Empress Dowager of Xiaoxian, who has been living in a simple place, suddenly went out and went back to Princess Chengyang's mansion.
She said bluntly: "Someone wants to harm me and wants to take my life." β
Princess Chengyang was anxious, "Who wants to harm you?" Is the emperor trying to harm you? β
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun shook her head again and again, and then refused to say anything, nor did she listen to persuasion, and insisted on leaving.
Princess Chengyang was anxious and angry, and sent someone to call Zhong Juma back.
Shuyun said that someone wanted to harm her. Hongu asked her to speak, but she refused to say anything. This palace is not at ease, what do you say? Or just send someone to tie her up. I don't believe it, there are still people who dare to be presumptuous in the princess's mansion. β
Zhong Juma looked confused, "Someone wants to harm her, but she won't say anything?" β
What is this operation?
Make matters worse by attempting a coverup?
Making waves?
It's unreasonable!
"Could it be that Your Highness misunderstood the meaning of the rhyme of the book?"
"This palace hasn't reached the point of being old and confused, how can you misunderstand. If you don't go, right, this palace will personally bring someone to tie her back. β
"Never! It's better to let the bookmaker come to her door and ask her what the hell is going on. β
"Okay!"
β¦β¦
Zhong Shuhao learned of this and came to the door as soon as possible.
As a result, Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun avoided talking about someone trying to harm her, and instead asked about something else.
"I heard that His Majesty's life is not long in coming, this matter is true."
"Who are you listening to nonsense? The Imperial Physician has clarified that His Majesty's body is fine except that it is a little weaker than ordinary people. β
"Do you believe the Imperial Doctor?"
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun sneered, "Big brother, when did you become so naΓ―ve?" Everyone said that Empress Dowager Tao was crazy and talked nonsense in the Jinluan Palace, but I am sure that what Empress Dowager Tao said is true. Because I know Empress Dowager Tao. β
"What do you know about her? Empress Dowager Tao and the emperor are not on good terms, not in a matter of one or two days. Since the emperor's accession to the throne, their mother and son have often had disputes. This time, it was just Empress Dowager Tao's trick again, but in a different way, it was even more vicious and vicious. β
Zhong Shuhao refuted sharply, he didn't want his sister to be cranky.
"Big brother, you're wrong! It is a fact that Empress Dowager Tao and the emperor are not on good terms. But Empress Dowager Tao never said anything unfounded. Since she dared to say that the emperor's life was not long in coming, there must be a basis. Big brother, don't you deceive yourself, okay? β
Zhong Shuhao grimaced and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?" Believe in the emperor or the queen mother? β
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun said sharply: "Don't believe anyone, only believe in yourself." If the emperor dies soon, do you think he will let me go? β
Zhong Shuhao frowned slightly, "Did someone say something in your ear?" Who is sowing discord? If you are afraid, follow me back to the princess's mansion. With your mother here, no one dares to hurt you. β
She shook her head again and again, "This palace will never return to the princess's mansion." Hongu was born as the woman of the first emperor, and death was also his ghost. β
Zhong Shuhao couldn't see through her, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
Again, he asked, "Is it chewing the root of your tongue in your ear?" You tell me, and I'll take care of it for you. β
"No one stirs their tongues in front of this palace. Brother, go back, don't worry, even if you die, this palace will not affect the Zhong family. β
"What nonsense are you talking about? What the hell is going on? β
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun smiled lightly and smiled happily, "I'm very happy that my brother cares about me so much." It's been a long time, and I've never been so happy. I knew that I would not leave Jianzhou desperately, and I would take my children to stay anyway. I really regret not being able to do it in the first place. β
The more Zhong Shuhao listened, the more wrong he became, "Sister, don't mess around." If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell them, and we will discuss and solve them together. β
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun shook her head, "There are some things that only I can solve." Brother, don't worry about me, I'm the little girl I was back then, I've grown up a long time ago, and I have a chance to succeed. Don't worry, I'm fine. β
"Are you really okay?" Zhong Shuhao asked uneasily.
In order to reassure him, she showed her brightest smile, "I'm really fine, I'm fine." β
Zhong Shuhao was reluctantly relieved, "If there is something, you must say it, you know?" β
"I know! Brother, go back quickly, I am a place of right and wrong, and you should not stay longer. β
Zhong Shuhao said goodbye and left.
He didn't expect that this would be the last time he and his sister Zhong Shuyun would meet.
β¦β¦
Three days later, the residence of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun caught fire, and thick smoke covered the entire Jianzhou City.
Jin Wuwei rushed into the mansion as soon as possible, and finally found only the body of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, Zhong Shuyun.
She was poisoned by a glass of poisoned wine.
Seven orifices bleed, obviously poisoned.
It is not enough to poison people, but also to set fire to destroy evidence, what a sinister intention.
As expected......
Emperor Xiao Chengwen instantly became the center of public opinion.
Vicious, vicious.
Never seen such a vicious emperor.
The three county kings are dead, and the threat is gone.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not even let go of his sister-in-law, not only gave poisoned wine, but also ordered people to set fire to destroy the corpses.
It's inhumane!
In the early days, the officials were silent in protest.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen sneered and waved his big hand, "Retreat from the dynasty!" β
Then, flick your sleeves away.
He wanted to kill Zhong Shuyun to prevent future troubles.
Indeed, he gave the poisoned wine to reliable men.
However, the fire was never set by him.
He never thought of destroying the body.
From the very beginning, his plan was to announce the violent death of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian.
As for who planted the fire, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that he is dying, he feels that it is becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and many times he is reluctant to speak.
However, he still has a lot to do.
He had to speed things up.
Zhong Shuyun must die, and Empress Dowager Tao must also take him away.
All threats, he must deal with.
