Chapter 56: Turning the Tables

The tsundere prince also quietly squeezed her hand and motioned for her to react.

So Xia Taozhi cried with a whimper: "Your Highness...... Wake up...... You can't just leave the concubine like this, if you have something three long and two short, the concubine won't live......"

The eldest princess frowned, and inexplicably watched a little jailer squatting beside the King of Tomb crying very sadly, and said strangely: "Who are you?" ”

Xia Taozhi turned around and saluted her respectfully, and said in a choked voice: "Concubine Xia, meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

The little palace maid who had an organic spirit whispered something in the ear of the eldest princess, and she suddenly realized: "I see, you are the princess of Ling." ”

The cell boss was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he slapped himself in the face. I blame myself for drinking too much for a while and not looking carefully, this little jailer...... It turned out to be Princess Ling's mother? And he actually asked her to send poisoned wine to King Ling? …… It's over, it's completely over this time.

The eldest princess looked Xia Taozhi up and down. Well, the appearance is acceptable, it looks very smart, and the etiquette is also in place, but the dress of this little jailer is really a little unorthodox.

And also...... Sneaking into the prison without permission is a big crime.

She frowned, and her tone was a little harsh: "Why is Princess Ling here?" ”

Xia Taozhi replied: "Back to the eldest princess, the concubine was worried about the safety of His Royal Highness, so she sneaked in, and the concubine knew her mistake." But fortunately, the concubine came...... His Royal Highness was not only beaten to death by them, but was almost poisoned with wine by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... If it weren't for the eldest princess arriving in time, His Royal Highness would probably ......" The latter words were drowned in a burst of whining cries.

Someone on the ground was very cooperative and performing "dying", but he was snickering in his heart.

Well...... The son can be taught, and in three or two sentences, he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, cleared himself of the crime of trespassing in the prison, and threw the pot to Song Yuansheng by the way, wonderful.

Song Yuansheng was stunned by the singing and harmony of their husband and wife, so he reacted and said hurriedly: "Aunt Huang, don't believe what she said!" He pointed at Song Yuanxi: "How can he be dying...... He just returned ...... He's, he's acting! Both of them are acting! ”

But Princess Ling cried so much that she burst into tears, and His Royal Highness King Ling was lying there motionless covered in blood, anyone would think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was lying too much, and he was too deceitful, right?

The eldest princess has loved Song Yuanxi since she was a child, and this time she was even more distressed, glaring at Song Yuansheng angrily and said: "This palace has seen and heard with your own eyes, you still dare to quibble?!" ”

Song Yuansheng has been the prince for many years, and he has been walking sideways, how could he have been reprimanded like this, and he was so angry that he ignored it and said: "What is it?" As the prince of Great Chu, I should share my father's worries, how can I allow others to confuse my royal bloodline, Song Yuanxi, this wild ......"

"Smack!" A resounding slap echoed through the cell.

Everyone was stunned, and looked at the eldest princess who was still raising her hand. Her face was dark blue, and her originally well-maintained face showed a crack in the light.

"Bastard thing! Shut up Hongu! ”

Xia Taozhi snickered in her heart, haha, well played! Good scolding! Isn't that just a bastard......

Song Yuansheng covered half of his swollen face and stared at him unwillingly. He really couldn't understand what went wrong, Song Yuanxi was obviously in a situation of ten deaths, how could there be signs of starting to reverse?

At this time, there was another eunuch's shout outside the door.

"The emperor has arrived!"

“……”

A certain tsundere snickered secretly, well, it's finally here......

……

Tonight the stars are shining, it is advisable to visit the prison and avoid drinking poisonous wine.

This gloomy prison cell was full of brilliance, and almost all the heavyweights of the Eastern Chu royal family came.

His Royal Highness the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Ling, Princess Niangniang......

Oh, there is also a squire of the Criminal Department, Gu Ziyi Gu.

Gu Ziyi's official uniform seems to have just entered the palace to meet Emperor Chu, and then came to the prison with Emperor Chu.

This cell is not big, the eldest princess brought a group of people to hula to account for half of it, and Emperor Chu brought another group of people to hula to occupy the other half, so it was extremely crowded.

Emperor Chu had a gloomy face, and the expression on his face was unpredictable. ordered Xuanyuan Geng and several jailers to be arrested, and invited out all the idle people, leaving only the prince, King Ling, Gu Shilang and a personal chamberlain in the cell.

Xia Taozhi was worried about the safety of the tsundere prince, and turned back frequently, and the moment the iron door closed, she only had time to see the attendant take out something from the basket, and then the iron door was closed, isolating the situation in the cell.

A moment later, an angry shout came from the cell: "Brute! It was accompanied by another loud slap.

As soon as the door opened, Emperor Chu walked out with an angry face.

"Spread my will, the crown prince Song Yuansheng, deceived the king, mutilated his siblings, abolished his crown prince, demoted him to a commoner, sent to Maozhou, and was never allowed to return to Beijing."

!!!

The heavens and the earth trembled three times.

Everyone opened their mouths in shock, as if they couldn't believe it.

Prince...... Scrapped?!

Then in the surprised eyes of everyone, Emperor Chu walked up to Princess Ling and said to her with a pleasant face: "You are a good boy...... Take good care of Xi'er. ”

Xi'er?

Xi'er ???

Did they hear it right?

Although Xia Taozhi didn't know why, she also understood that the tsundere prince was in danger this time, so she obediently blessed her body and responded: "Yes, father." ”

***

The sun is warm and the breeze is warm.

Xia Taozhi sat in the small courtyard with her cheeks propped up, smiling and watching the peony busily basking in the herbs in front of her, feeling physically and mentally happy.

Since the prince of the East Palace was abolished and demoted to a concubine, the heaven of this Great Chu has really changed.

The Xue clan and Queen Xue were all killed together. Not only did Empress Xue have no way to teach her sons, but all the bad things she had done in the harem over the years were shaken out, and she was abolished as the queen and entered the cold palace. The hussar general Xue Huai disturbed the court, remembering that he was the great Chu Rong horse for half his life, and made great contributions, so he was lightly dismissed, only dismissed, and was assigned to Maozhou with the abolished prince. The famous Xue family was full of birds, and the glorious scene of the past no longer existed, and the young Xue Cheng hurriedly succeeded as the head of the family and cleaned up the mess. There is only one Shuyi princess Song Yumei who is related to the Xue family but is safe, but she can no longer stand up.

What is this called......? Oh yes, uprooting.

She remembered the first thing the tsundere prince said to her when he woke up from a coma for several days: "Do you know what is the best way to bring down someone?" ”

She shook her head.

He smiled and replied, "Uproot." ”

The Xue family has been injured in the foundation, and I am afraid that they will have to pick up their tails and keep their heads in obscurity for a while. Even Ning Guohou and Jian Taishi also kept a low profile.

The only fly in the ointment is that Xuanyuan Geng, who should have been executed, escaped.

Xuanyuan Geng has always been a problem for her, but at the moment, there is a great beauty, if Xuanyuan Geng is smart enough, he should have escaped from Chu Jing far away, so for the time being, he can not consider that this person will pose a threat.

Now she wanted to know more about what had happened in her cell that day. Why did Emperor Chu suddenly depose the crown prince? Why did he suddenly change his attitude towards Song Yuanxi? There were so many questions swirling in her mind, but she never had a chance to ask.

That day in the prison cell, the tsundere prince was really dying. He was indeed seriously injured, and when he lifted his clothes, he saw that the wounds on his back were deep to the bone, and there were signs of infection, and he had a high fever, and the whole person fell into a coma.

But the resilience of the tsundere prince dog is simply amazing!

With such a serious injury, I was able to get out of bed and walk around after lying down for a few days.

However, it may also be due to the concerted efforts of the people. These days, almost all the imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital have gathered in the Lingwang Mansion, and the precious medicinal materials and rewards have been sent to the Lingwang Mansion in waves. Emperor Chu and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess both came to visit Song Yuanxi several times in person. However, Emperor Chu was very dissatisfied after he came, and felt that the Lingwang Mansion was too small, so he immediately asked people to start selecting a site and building a new mansion.

The lucky stars are shining, His Royal Highness the King of Tomb is really a blessing in disguise this time.

But Xia Taozhi was very unhappy, and there was a feeling that she had been tricked again. Based on what she knew about him, this incident may have been a trap set by him from beginning to end, it was premeditated, and it made her afraid for so long.

In the face of her questioning, a certain tsundere replied very sincerely: "The incident happened suddenly, I have a hard time, but if I knew that you would be so nervous about me, I would definitely not hide it from you."

She took a sip, "Who's nervous about you?" ”

Someone raised an eyebrow and asked with a grin, "Oh? Who actually broke into the prison at night to rob the prison? ”

She pretended not to hear and continued to ask, and the tsundere prince snorted and led the topic to Peony.

"I didn't lie to you for the three days that my husband said, did I?"

Yes, yes, he's reliable once. The peony was really sent back, intact, not a single hair was missing, and it seemed to be a little fatter.

As for the kiss in the cell...... She later directly pretended that it hadn't happened, no matter how the tsundere prince asked her, coerced and seduced, she pretended to have amnesia, and insisted that she didn't remember that it had happened.

Peony was stunned by her inexplicable smirk and straight eyes.

"...... What do you keep staring at slaves like this? "It's scary, okay?

Xia Taozhi came back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just happy, you're busy with you......"

Peony: "......"

What's going on lately? Often inexplicably giggles...... Could it be, there is? Daddy once said that there will be abnormalities when a woman is pregnant, and he also said that "one pregnancy is stupid for three years".

She was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to probe Xia Taozhi's pulse, but the pulse was stable and unusual. She couldn't help but be disappointed.

Xia Taozhi was inexplicable and asked, "What did you do to suddenly probe the pulse?" ”

Peony: "The slave maid still thinks that the mother is ...... I'm pregnant......"

Xia Taozhi was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground, oh my God, how did this girl be robbed once, and she can even think nonsense.

Of course, Peony didn't know that the two of them were a "fake couple", and she was very conscious of being a dowry maid, so she reminded seriously: "Niangniang, now that His Royal Highness is favored by the emperor, you have to work hard......

Well, it's important, isn't it? Emperor Chu now summoned the tsundere prince into the palace to talk twice in three days, and one narrative was most of the day, and sometimes he also sent people to pass it on at night, and those who didn't know thought that there was something indescribable in it.

“…… What did you just say to work on? Xia Taozhi's fugue is over, and she came back to her senses.

"Heir!"

Peony was depressed, she said for a long time, and her feelings for her mother didn't listen to it at all.

"Poof......

Xia Taozhi almost squirted, she and the tsundere prince ...... Heir???
