Chapter 132: 'Suicide in Fear of Sin'
The emperor has been sick for a few days, so he can't even go to the court, who dares to criticize this, everyone knows it, the imperial guards with knives around the emperor have changed, and there is no such person as a noble person in the harem.
The rumors gradually subsided, and the emperor's anger was still unsettled, but the previous chief of the guard was dead, and the previous investigation of the Nan'an Palace's affairs had just made progress, and now it was about to start again.
During this time, Song Zhao had already ordered someone to take care of everything, and all the previous clues had been erased, and they were hidden deep enough, so they didn't have to worry that the emperor's people would find them again.
The new chief of the guard returned several times in vain, and when he saw that the emperor didn't even dare to make a sound, he was scolded by the hot-tempered emperor every time, and he could only curse secretly in his heart.
At this juncture, I have taken such an unlucky errand, and I am considered unlucky!
After a long time, the emperor can only give up, and the investigation can't go on, but the matter must not be left like this. Song Zhao was in a corner of the palace by software for half a month. In the past half a month, he has never set foot there, and now that there is no clue, the emperor wants to coerce and lure Song Zhao to tell the truth, and this is the first time he has come to him.
When father and son met, some were just suspicious and disgusted, the air was so solemn and oppressive that people were simply breathless, the palace people had already retreated, Song Zhao finished saluting, and stood there straight and did not move, the emperor looked at him, and saw that he just looked a little haggard, and there was nothing unusual other than that.
The emperor looked into his eyes, trying to find something suspicious from his words and deeds, but Song Zhao showed no hint and wiped out the previous matter.
It seemed that he was not worried about his situation, but he asked several times if he had found Gong Tianyao's whereabouts, and judging from his tone and expression, it seemed that he really didn't know anything about this matter.
It's just that this is not enough to hide from him, that day he only saw that Li Guiren's hand trembling slightly when he held the spoon, only for a very short time, he noticed that she was a little nervous, and then thought of what she had done before, he would be suspicious, even the emperor himself did not expect to be caught.
Lao Jiu, this kid, who doesn't show anything on weekdays, who knows what the plans are behind his back, if he really harbors evil intentions, he will never be spared! It's just that no evidence can be found now, and the emperor can only release him.
Originally thought that something could be found out, who would have thought that the result would be like this in the end, the emperor was very angry, after Song Zhao left the palace, he ordered someone to keep an eye on the Nan'an Palace, if there was anything abnormal, report to him as soon as possible.
After Song Zhao was placed under house arrest for half a month, he finally returned to the palace, and the hearts of Steward Zhao and the others were anxious, and when they heard the news, they had already taken care of the palace and waited for the prince to return to the palace.
In the days when the prince and princess were away, the palace was lifeless, without a trace of anger, and the most lively Zhuyin Courtyard at ordinary times, there was no trace of anger at this time, and Lianxin guarded Gong Tianyao's small pharmacy all day long, cleaning and sprinkling the same as when Gong Tianyao was there, after doing all this, he waited in front of the table, his eyes were dull, and he was like a walking corpse.
The prince's return to the house is the biggest happy event in the Nan'an Palace, Steward Zhao sighed for so long, and there were a few more wrinkles on his face, and he finally had a little smile on his face at this time, but he still couldn't hide the deep sadness in his eyes.
Regarding the whereabouts of the princess, even Steward Zhao did not know, and he did not dare to mention it to the prince, for fear of provoking his sadness. Since then, Song Zhao has been following the rules every day, and everything seems to have returned to the time when the princess was not cured of dementia.
Five days later, the emperor announced in the court that the princess of Nan'an committed suicide in prison, as soon as this remark came out, the ministers below were in an uproar, and the father and son of General Zhenyuan and the squire of the criminal department were the first to stand up and said: "God is jealous of talent, the princess passed away at a young age, it is a pity, but the princess is gracious to the ministers, and begs the emperor to let the ministers wait to see the princess for the last time and send her to the end." ”
The emperor didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lazily: "No matter what heinous crimes Gong Tianyao committed during her lifetime, she is the princess of Nan'an and the only descendant of the palace family. ”
General Zhenyuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor raising his hand: "Don't say anything, retreat from the dynasty." ”
The emperor was in a bad mood, and everyone didn't dare to say anything, so they could only cast a sympathetic look at the Nine Emperor Princes, who learned the news, their faces were pale, and they pursed their lips tightly without saying a word, as if they were trying their best to endure the grief in their hearts, and their eyes were also full of red bloodshots, and they were as cold as ever, but they made people feel a little sad for him out of thin air.
"The Nine Emperors have been helpless for many years, and they have just been in love with the princess for two days, and they suffered this catastrophe, what a fateful journey!"
The faint sound of discussion came from behind him, and Song Zhao's footsteps did not slow down at all, and walked straight out of the palace. Someone in the back shook his head, not knowing what to say, and there was an extremely disdainful voice in the oblique stab: "According to the temperament of the Nine Emperors, he will not feel sorry for others, he only has himself in his eyes, what princess is not a princess, he doesn't care!" ”
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that it was General Zhenyuan who spoke, and it was not echoed, nor was it not echoed, and everyone saw the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes just now, the emperor said so much, he didn't say a word at the bottom, how could he have the spirit of a manly man! It's a pity that the princess is such a good person, she didn't say anything about saving his life, and she didn't even say a good word before she died!
The more Zheng Xiyun thought about it, the more angry he became, and then he thought that Dr. Lin was actually the princess, and now she had died, her old voice and smile seemed to be still in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel sad, her eyes were red, and she couldn't speak in her voice, his father saw him like this, although he didn't feel good in his heart, he still hardened his heart: "When I get home and see your grandfather, I must not let him know about it, do you know?" ”
"Father, rest assured." Zheng Xiyun nodded in response, and the father and son went to the house.
Song Zhao was in the court as usual, and the emperor knocked him a few words intentionally or unintentionally, so the ministers also had a lot of opinions about Song Zhao, and the only trace of sympathy for him disappeared, and the accusations continued, especially General Zhenyuan.
Song Zhao didn't say a word to refute, he was even more silent and indifferent than before, compared with the accusations and criticisms of these people, Gong Tianyao's safety was much more important.
I don't know how many days have passed in Tibet, I can't stay in one place for two days and have to move to another place, fortunately, Gong Tianyao's injuries are gradually improving, she is physically bearable, and she is not the kind of person who is delicate and frail, so she is also used to this kind of life, but she doesn't know the situation on Song Zhao's side, and she is a little worried.
