In the garden of the Liguo Mansion, Hu's makeup was light and refreshing, and she supported the Duchess of Liguo to take a walk between the garden paths.

"It's been a while since Prince Jin left the imperial capital, right?" In the eyes of outsiders, the Duchess of Liguo, who has been sick for a while, still has a slightly sick look on her face, but at this time she is really in good spirits. "I wonder if he's safe all the way?"

What Xiao Jin's attitude towards the Hu family is, her maiden family, Liguo Mansion, has always known it.

Li Guogong and his wife naturally feel sorry for this daughter who has been pampered since childhood, but after all, the daughter is married to a prince, and there is no possibility of separation, not to mention that the daughter has already given birth to three children for Xiao Jin. Even if her daughter can really reconcile, how can she let go of her three children who are still minors.

Xiao Jin was sent to the fiefdom by Emperor Chu and was sent to the fiefdom by Emperor Chu, and the public of Liguo was both happy and worried. is happy that Xiao Jin has become a prince, and the Hu family is his main room, and the status of her and the children will naturally rise with the tide. What worries me is that the Hu family and Xiao Jin have never been on good terms, Xiao Jin is in the imperial capital and it depends on the face of Emperor Chu and the Liguo Mansion that he will not tamper with the Hu family, and he can go to the fiefdom later, even if the Hu family suffers something, he is afraid that it will be too late to even report for help.

Fortunately, the Hu family got the news as soon as possible and returned to her parents' house for help, and the Duchess of Liguo chose to pretend to be sick and temporarily took the Hu family and the children out of the Jinjun Wangfu at that time.

Later, in front of Emperor Chu, Princess Zhaoyue said that the Hu family, Concubine Liao, and the children stayed in the imperial capital, and this matter was successfully handled.

"Yesterday, Concubine He's letter has returned, saying that she and Her Highness are not far from the fiefdom, and I think she and Her Highness should also arrive now." Hu said with a light smile. "A few days ago, His Majesty summoned me and Concubine Liao, not only to inquire about my mother's condition, but also to allow me and Concubine Liao to live in the imperial capital and raise the children with peace of mind, at least until the children reach adulthood, we can always stay in the imperial capital."

"Your Majesty is magnanimous." From the day Xiao Jin left the imperial capital, the decoction that was used to cause acute illness was no longer required to be taken by the Duchess of Liguo. "In this way, I can rest assured, there are still decades before the children reach adulthood, and your father and I don't have to worry about you if you and the children live in the imperial capital."

"It's just for the daughter, but it's hard for the mother." Hearing the Duchess of Liguo say this, the Hu family felt guilty about her for a while. "The mother drank so much of the medicine used to cause illness, and the daughter was only afraid of hurting her mother's body."

"Don't worry about me, as long as you stop taking those medicines, and you can rest for a few more days, there will be no hindrance." Duchess Li Guo patted Hu's hand and said softly. "As long as you and the children are well in the future, it will not be in vain that I have drunk so many bitter decoctions."

"Hmm." Hu Shi nodded and said. "Seeing that the sun is getting a little windy now, I'll send my mother back to her room and lie down for a while."

"Okay, I'm going to have to get better." Duchess Li Guo nodded with a smile and said.

After sending the Duchess of Li Guo back to rest, Hu returned to the boudoir where he lived before he got married.

"The princess is back." This time, he also followed the Hu family back to the Liguo Mansion to Xiangdong, who was originally cleaning up in the courtyard, and hurriedly came in when he saw that the Hu family was back. "The slave has already cleaned up as you ordered, and the princess can go directly if she wants to go back in a few days."

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time." Hu walked around in his boudoir at will, and the two husbands and wives of Li Guogong and his wife kept their boudoir intact after their two daughters got married one after another, and the flowers, melons and fruits that were placed in the room day after day were the same as before. "I don't have to see Xiao Jin's face for more than ten years now, and I don't know how happy I am."

"But the princess can't stay in the imperial capital for the rest of her life." Xiangdong was a little worried. "That Concubine He followed His Royal Highness Prince Jin to the fief this time, she got the authority of the housekeeper, if the princess goes in the future, Concubine He may not be a good match. During the years of the princess's absence, if she has an heir, will it have an impact on the princess's heirs? ”

"I've thought about what you're talking about." Hu stood by the window and looked at the string of wind chimes hanging from the windowsill, which she had hung on the windowsill when she was young. "She has already installed my people by her side, and if she keeps to herself and only fulfills her duties as a side concubine, I will never touch her. But if she moves a mind that she shouldn't move, I have my own way to stop her thoughts. ”

When Hu first returned to the Liguo Mansion to serve his illness, this matter was also mentioned by the Liguo Gong to the Hu family.

Indeed, if Hu and Concubine Liao want to stay in the imperial capital, they must bring up a new concubine. But they didn't have time to look at the right person, and the most suitable person at the moment was Aunt He at that time.

It is true that Hu and Xiao Jin are not on good terms, but Hu's eldest son is Xiao Jin's eldest son, and Hu must not see what belongs to his own child fall into her hands one day.

After Spring Night left, Li Guogong had already chosen a candidate to replace Spring Night.

It's just that time has changed, and the Hu family has successfully stayed in the imperial capital with their children, and there is no need for such people around them for a while. The Hu family decided to try to send people to Concubine He's side.

In this way, even if Concubine He rebelled in the future, she would be able to get the rumors and have a response.

It's just that what Hu didn't expect was that in her eighth year in the imperial capital. Bad news suddenly came from Xiao Jin's fiefdom, and Xiao Jin was actually dead.

On that day, Hu was chatting and laughing with Concubine Liao in the garden, and Xiangdong stumbled over with a letter to look for her.

"What's wrong?" Hu Shi followed the prestige and asked with a frown.

"Princess." Xiangdong threw himself beside Hu Shi and said. "Prince Jin is dead."

"What?!" Hu Shi and Concubine Liao suddenly heard such news, and the two looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes, and Hu Shi asked. "Who sent the letter back?"

"Concubine He's people came to the palace first, and the people who reported the funeral in the palace have just entered the palace." Xiangdong's hands are bent-up-book-letter.

For eight years, Concubine He served by Xiao Jin's side, although her grace was not as good as in the past, she had the highest status among the many female relatives in the backyard of King Jin's mansion.

She can think openly, and she is happy if she has one of her status and favor.

She was pregnant three times, gave birth twice, and had two daughters carved in pink under her knees. She did not give birth to a son, but she had other concubines to give birth to children.

For this reason, as soon as Xiao Jin died, Concubine He immediately sent a message back to the imperial capital to the Hu family.

She has a long-standing grudge with the concubines in the palace, and she would rather the Hu family come to be the old feudal lord of the palace in the future. Thinking that Hu Shi can at least remember her for many years of obedience and will treat her and her two daughters well.

Hu opened the letter, and the content of the letter was written by Concubine He herself, which recorded in detail the real cause of Xiao Jin's death.

Although Hu knew that Xiao Jin's hands would lose weight when he lost control of his emotions, there were also a few maids who were killed by Xiao Jin's hands in the early years.

But Hu never expected that Xiao Jin would die in this kind of thing.

Concubine He wrote in her heart that Xiao Jin had been drinking every day in the past eight years, and her temperament had become more and more violent. Not only the people in the house, but even the ladies in the backyard are also beaten and scolded at every turn. Concubine He is a serious concubine who has entered the jade of the clan, Xiao Jin still has some scruples about her, but he is not so pitiful to other concubines.

After a long time, naturally there are a few weak people who can't get through, and those who are dead don't have to work He Fang Concubine came forward to clean up, Xiao Jin has someone in his hand who is responsible for dealing with these.

A while ago, Xiao Jin tortured a concubine who was only accepted after arriving in the fiefdom between the beds at night. The concubine turned out to be patient in a thousand ways, but Xiao Jin's hands became more and more weightless, and seeing that her life was about to be guaranteed, the concubine suddenly took out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it at Xiao Jin's body.

It stands to reason that Xiao Jin will not be injured by a weak concubine, but Xiao Jin drank a lot of wine that night, and when he saw the concubine going crazy, he stabbed it with a hairpin, and it was too late when he wanted to dodge.

However, the concubine only pricked Xiao Jin's body, and when Xiao Jin was in pain and subconsciously wanted to retreat to dodge, his left foot stumbled, and his right foot did not support his body, he leaned back and fell backwards, and the whole person fell on a set of tea sets that he had broken before.

The fragments of the tea set didn't do much damage, but it was probably Xiao Jin's life, and it happened that the back of his head hit those fragments, and some of the fragments cut his neck, and he didn't even have time to let out a cry of pain before he died.

The concubine watched Xiao Jin until he was out of breath, and then staggered up and opened the door.

When the subordinates outside the door saw the blood on the concubine's body and Xiao Jin who fell to the ground behind her, they were almost frightened, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Concubine He Fang.

When Concubine He came over, Xiao Jin, who fell to the ground, still had her eyes open, but her body was completely cold.

The concubine knew that Xiao Jin's accidental death had nothing to do with her, so she suddenly slammed her head against the wall, blood splattered high, and in an instant another life was gone.

Concubine He had no choice but to order someone to temporarily collect the corpses of Xiao Jin and the concubine, but fortunately, it was the middle of winter, and the corpses could be kept for a longer time in the ice cellar in the palace.

Before the palace officially sent people to the imperial capital, Concubine He took advantage of the fact that no one was prepared to write a letter, and secretly sent her henchmen to set off one step earlier.

Hu read the letter at a glance, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Princess?" Concubine Liao looked at the letter and asked. "What the hell is going on? His Royal Highness is in his prime, and he has no old diseases, why did he suddenly go? ”

"Oh, it's all fate, it's his own sin." Hu sighed and handed the letter in his hand to Concubine Liao. "See for yourself."
