Chapter Ninety-Five: The Prince
After coming out of the main hall, Jiang Zhao found that his back was completely wet. The national teacher smiled and said: "Just now in front of the emperor and the queen mother, I still admire you." ”
Jiang Zhao glanced at him, "Don't make fun of me, this time I was lucky not to be killed by you." Old man, tomorrow I will pack up my baggage and leave the capital, I will never stay with you again, last time it was the grandson of King Gong, this time it is the wife and concubine of the prince, next time if it is the turn of those two, I will not be alive? ”
After saying that, he raised his feet and sped up, as if he wanted to get rid of the person behind him.
The national teacher looked at his back and laughed silently.
He thought of the faces of the ladies in the East Palace, and shook his head, it was clearly a childless appearance!
In the main hall, the crown princess finally understood that Fu Liangdi and Wu Chenghui had already planned to completely kill her.
She couldn't admit what she had done, so in front of Emperor Xianqing and Empress Dowager Fu, she kept crying with tears and saying that she was wronged. Fu Liangdi obviously celebrated Emperor Qing and Empress Dowager Fu, and with their permission, brought the crown princess's henchman Aunt Dong up.
Today's family banquet was originally for Aunt Dong to accompany the crown princess, but for some reason, when she left, she suddenly had a stomach upset, and the princess had to change to the personal palace maid Mianrui.
Aunt Dong looked very haggard, and after entering the hall to meet Emperor Xianqing and Empress Dowager Fu, she deliberately avoided the crown princess and did not dare to look at her.
The crown princess had a bad premonition in her heart, and her intuition told her that Aunt Dong had betrayed her.
Sure enough, after Fu Liangdi's simple questions, Aunt Dong explained the matter of the crown princess's drug word for word, and also said where the princess put the medicinal powder.
Empress Dowager Fu immediately asked Aunt Jinyu to search the crown princess's bedroom. About two pillars of incense had passed, and Aunt Jinyu came back with the medicinal powder.
Seeing the familiar porcelain vase, the crown princess knew that the general trend had gone. She stared at Aunt Dong coldly, "Why, why did you betray me?" ”
Aunt Dong is the most powerful confidant around Princess Qinyang, and after Lord Derong became the crown princess, Princess Qinyang gave Aunt Dong to her daughter. In the eyes of the crown princess, her trust and dependence on Aunt Dong are no less than that of her mother, Princess Qinyang. In the East Palace, many things that were inconvenient for her to do were almost all done through Aunt Dong's hands.
Aunt Dong shook her head bitterly, "County Lord, it's not that the slave and maid deliberately want to betray you, but the people from the Marquis Mansion of Jinyang have captured the slave's son and husband, and they threaten the slave and maid that if they don't truthfully explain what you asked me to do, they will kill them." ”
The crown princess sneered, "Betraying the master is betraying the master, why make so many excuses." My mother and I were blind, and we had let an ungrateful person like you follow you, and now we have fallen into this place. ”
Fu Liangdi sneered: "It's no wonder that others, if it weren't for your ruthlessness, where would you end up today." ”
The crown princess glanced at her and didn't say anything, but walked to Emperor Xianqing and Empress Dowager Fu and knelt down, "Grandmother, imperial uncle, all this was done by Derong alone, and it has nothing to do with my mother and younger brother, please don't blame them." ”
Emperor Xianqing didn't say a word, Empress Dowager Fu frowned, the most noble mother and son didn't speak, and the people below didn't dare to come out.
After a long time, Emperor Xianqing spoke, "Come on, escort the crown princess to the forbidden palace, and no one is allowed to visit." ”
"Emperor, you ......" Empress Dowager Fu wanted to speak and stopped. The Forbidden Palace is where the most heinous concubines in the palace go, and it is even more terrifying than the Cold Palace and the Punishment Division.
Empress Dowager Fu meant to let her die of illness directly, so as not to be discussed.
Emperor Xianqing said: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished, let her go to the forbidden palace for a few days to atone for her mistakes." "If she survives, let her live.
The crown princess's voice of the emperor's uncle still made Emperor Xianqing feel a little more pity.
The place where the crown princess went was decided, and Fu Liangdi felt a pity that she could not be abolished on the spot. But she knows that if you want to hurry, you can't push too hard, you have to take it slowly.
She looked up at the Empress Dowager Fu, only to see that the Empress Dowager Fu signaled her with her eyes not to act rashly.
Fu Liangdi nodded slightly.
Subsequently, Empress Dowager Fu asked the ladies of the East Palace to go back, and warned them when they left that they should remember what to say and what not to say, let alone let the prince know about it.
So after the prince returned to Beijing, the ladies of the East Palace became very well-behaved, and no one came to him anymore. The crown prince also thought that his charm had declined, so that his women no longer came to compete for favor.
After returning from Emperor Xianqing and the Queen Mother, the crown prince went to the princess's bedroom, but he didn't see the princess, only his eldest daughter Wei Zhao.
When I asked, I found out that the crown princess was left by the Queen Mother in Shou'an Palace to copy the scriptures dedicated to Guanyin. The crown prince was very puzzled, why did the imperial grandmother not mention it when he went to ask the imperial grandmother for peace?
The crown princess's two henchmen, Mian Rui and Aunt Dong, were both executed, and only another personal palace maid Lu Yin was left in the palace to take care of Wei Zhao.
Two days ago, the other masters of the East Palace came back from the family banquet, only the crown princess did not come back, before that, Aunt Dong was also taken away by Aunt Jinyu beside the Queen Mother, she felt that something was wrong.
I originally wanted to send a message to the princess's mansion, but I didn't know that it couldn't be passed on at all. During this time, she also went to find out the news from others, who either did not know about it or never mentioned anything about the family dinner.
She knew that something must have happened to her master, but she had no choice but to wait for the prince to come back.
After the prince finished reading his daughter, Lu Yin immediately knelt in front of him, "Your Highness, please save our master, although the slave doesn't know where she is, she can be sure that she definitely didn't copy the scriptures from the queen mother." ”
The prince's face became solemn, "You talk to Gu carefully." ”
Lu Yin told the prince about what had happened in the last few days and the abnormalities in the East Palace.
The prince got up and walked outside.
At this time, Fu Liangdi hurried over.
"Your Highness, why didn't you rest when you just came back?"
The crown prince stopped, "I have something to do with the imperial grandmother." ”
Fu Liangdi knew what he was going to do, but she couldn't let him go. "You haven't been to see Min'er since you came back, so you can't favor one over the other." Min'er is the name of the emperor's eldest grandson.
The crown prince said: "When Gu comes back from the imperial grandmother, I will come to see you." ”
After saying that, he strode away.
Looking at his distant back, Fu Liangdi was angry, she turned her head to look at the green yin standing at the door, sneered twice and left.
It's all grasshoppers after autumn, and it's not worth being angry about them.
The crown prince met the second prince on the way to Shou'an Palace. Seeing him, the second prince gave him an unprecedented smile, "Brother Huang, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
The crown prince stopped, "Lone is going to the imperial grandmother, and I will come to talk to the second imperial brother later." ”
The second prince asked people to push the wheelchair in front of the prince, "Did the imperial brother go to the queen mother to find the princess's sister-in-law?" If so, my brother advises you not to go, because the crown princess is not in Shou'an Palace. ”
The prince twisted his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?" ”
The smile on the second prince's face was even worse, "Brother Huang, don't you know, the crown princess gave sterilization medicine to the daughter of the East Palace, and now she is imprisoned in the forbidden palace by her father." ”
He sighed: "It's been a few days, and I don't know what the princess, who has always been dignified and steady, has become now." ”
The crown prince took two steps back after being hit, "No, it can't be. ”
The second prince smiled again, "Yes, my father ordered that no one should talk about this matter to you." In this way, it seems that the younger brother is more distressed about the royal brother, and he can't bear to let you hide it in the dark, so he simply tells you the truth. ”
"Lone doesn't believe you, Lone wants to find his father." The crown prince felt that the second prince would not be so kind, so he turned around and went to Chenghui Palace.
The second prince stayed where he was, his face full of mockery.
He will never forget that it was in this place that he was hit in both legs by a broken rockery. It was then that he saw the familiar bright yellow, but as he struggled to cry for help, the bright yellow disappeared.
The only people in the palace who can wear bright yellow are the father and the crown prince, and the father was in the palace at that time, so that person is the crown prince.
"Heh, you didn't save me when you saw death, but today I kindly told you the truth, there is no second good brother like me."
