Chapter 63: The Prince Dies

"What you said is true?"

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Fuju looked at Zhou Yi in front of him and said.

"Absolutely." Zhou Yi had ruthlessness in his eyes, "My daughter heard that Gu Qingwan, that little slut, has been quite close to the prince recently, so we might as well take advantage of it." ”

She finally caught Gu Qingwan's pigtails, how could she let her out of this evil breath if she didn't take the opportunity to make her ruthless?

"No, I can't. This matter is open to discussion. If you don't get it right, it will affect your sister queen. ”

Zhou didn't expect that her father would refuse to cooperate with the third prince.

What's so bad about the Three Princes? Zhu Tianqi's sick seedling has not lived for long, the Nine Emperors are not a threat, and the other princes are not a climate, isn't the future of this Sheng Cang the Three Princes?

Besides, didn't he intercede for the third prince that morning?

I really don't know what my father is thinking.

Zhou Fuju knew what she was thinking when he looked at Zhou Yi's expression, and he warned: "You are not allowed to make your own decisions. The affairs of the court are not something that you can measure as a woman. This matter of standing in line is related to the life and death of our entire Zhou family, do you think it will be that simple? ”

Several days had passed since he interceded on behalf of the Third Prince, and His Majesty still had not responded.

However, the lack of response is often the most terrible.

Zhou left the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she was still secretly unconvinced, thinking that Prime Minister Zhou was the queen's sister who favored her. Viciousness flashed in Zhou's eyes, no matter what, she would definitely not let go of Gu Qingwan this time!

The next morning, before Gu Qingwan could fight for his eyes, he heard the death knell coming from the palace.

Gu Qingwan immediately sobered up a little, and the death knell struck three times, it was a national funeral, it was Zhu Tianqi!

The custom of the Gufeng Continent is that the empress dowager is alive, and the death knell is twelve times; The emperor died, the death knell was nine times, and the soul was intended to return to the ninety-five; The crown prince and the queen returned, and the death knell sounded three times.

Now that the death knell has struck three times, it can't be Zhou Lian driving the crane west, right?

Could it be that Zhu Tianqi died of illness?

How can it be?

Gu Qingwan's first reaction was disbelief. She only took Zhu Tianqi's pulse last time, no matter what, it would not be a problem to live for another three or five months, how could it be so sudden?

Before Gu Qingwan could react, Zhuyin hurriedly ran in, "Miss, Miss." Oh no, the prince died of illness. Palace... Come to the palace... Someone is coming. ”

Really...

Gu Qingwan's heart felt a sense of foreboding.

"Speak slowly." Gu Qingwan signaled.

Zhuyin swallowed hard, exhaled and said, "Someone came to the palace and said that His Majesty had summoned you to the palace." Rumor has it that it was Miss, you who killed the prince. Now it's all over the streets. ”

"What?" Gu Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of coldness appeared.

I was really afraid of something, Gu Qingwan really had 10,000 grass and mud horses roaring past in his heart.

Gu Qingwan got dressed under Zhuyin's service and prepared to meet this unexpected change.

In the palace, the prince's east palace...

By the time Gu Qingwan got there, there were already many people in the East Palace.

Zhu Hong, Zhu Tianyi, Zhu Tianyang, Queen Zhou Lian, Nanhou Gu Mingzhen, Prime Minister Zhou Fuju and the son of the wind who had a relationship, and even Wang Silian is here.

Gu Qingwan walked in quietly, and before he could salute, he heard a scolding, "Bold Gu Qingwan, you dare to murder the crown prince of the dynasty, you are guilty!" ”

Gu Qingwan looked at Queen Zhou, who was anxious to convict her, with some amusement, and said lightly: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers don't know." ”

Wang Silian looked at her hands folded in front of her abdomen, wearing a moonlight blue brocade dress and a gorgeous skirt, although the color was elegant, but the nominal elegance exuded by her body was not even as good as herself.

Her nails dug into the flesh so hard that she felt a slight pain in her heart.

Zhu Tianyi looked at Gu Qingwan, who could not hide the appearance of the city even if he applied a little powder, and the indescribable affection in his heart surged up again, so suppressed that he was suffocated.

"There are all the human and material evidence, what else do you have to quibble?" Empress Zhou's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she said to the palace maid kneeling beside her, "You repeat what you just said." ”

"Yes." The palace maid who knelt on the ground, that is, Liang Chen, the palace maid in charge of the East Palace, kowtowed to Zhu Hong and Zhou Lian in the first place, and then said loudly: "Since the last time His Majesty sent the Beiwan County Lord to the East Palace to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heal the Prince, the Beiwan County Lord has been quite close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the two of them are often alone in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince. Later, when the slave maid passed by the prince's dormitory, she heard the prince say something like 'don't be delusional, you will never be with you in this hall'. Then, the slave saw with her own eyes that the lord of Beiwan ran out crying..."

"So what? Do you mean that Miss Ben is so desperate that she has murderous intentions? The corners of Gu Qingwan's mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, looked at Liang Chen and asked rhetorically.

"The slave didn't say that." Liang Chen staggered Gu Qingwan's eyes and bowed his head.

But what she meant was that Gu Qingwan was the stupid heroine who hated from love.

"You've heard it all, what else do you have to say?" Empress Zhou snorted coldly.

"What's the trouble of wanting to add sin?" Gu Qingwan didn't care, and said lightly.

Immediately, she looked at Zhu Hong, "Does Your Majesty think the same?" ”

"I only believe what the eyes see." Zhu Hong's meaning is unknown.

That's what he thinks.

Gu Qingwan sneered coldly, "Based on the words of just one person, it is concluded that it was me." In that case, where is the physical evidence? ”

"It's not one person's words. Who in Shengjing City doesn't know that the county lord of Beiwan likes the prince? As for the physical evidence..."Wang Silian said softly, and then looked at the Wind Dead Prince.

Feng Yan looked at Gu Qingwan and didn't say a word, only took out a silver needle from his sleeve, the needle of the silver needle was black, and on the table next to him was Zhu Tianqi's medicine bowl for drinking medicine on weekdays.

His meaning was obvious, it was poison hidden in this medicine bowl.

Gu Qingwan stepped forward, took the silver needle in his hand, raised his hand to shine at the light outside, and then picked up the medicine bowl and fanned the tip of his nose with his hand, sniffing the taste.

That's right, this medicine was indeed prescribed by her to Zhu Tianqi, and she couldn't see anything wrong for the time being, so she could only go down to find the medicine residue for inspection.

However, since they came prepared, how could they let her easily get the dregs?

After a while, Gu Qingwan said: "This medicine is indeed prescribed by me for His Royal Highness the Prince." However, there is absolutely no problem with this side drug. ”

"But the Wind Dead Boy said that this medicine is highly poisonous." Empress Zhou glanced at Gu Qingwan proudly.

"I'm talking about this bowl of medicine." Feng Yan replied coldly.

Queen Zhou choked and looked slightly stiff, but she didn't look good at Zhu Hong's face as a guest.

Although the difference between this bowl of medicine and this medicine is only one word, the gap is far away.

"Oh? In that case, I have a question for the Queen Mother. Gu Qing hooked his lips, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

"What?"

"First, the prince of Feng Yan also said just now that it is a problem with this bowl of medicine, not a problem with the prescription prescribed by the courtier. And boiling this bowl of medicine has to be pretended to be the hands of many people, how can the courtiers be outside the palace? Gu Qingwan's cold voice sounded, "Second, if there is a problem with the prescription, how many imperial doctors in the palace there are, don't anyone notice it?" ”

"That's... That's because you're a no-hand medicine immortal, and your methods are naturally better than theirs. If you have the heart to do something in it, who will find out? Who would have thought that you would have the courage to murder the prince of a country? Queen Zhou said.

"Hehe..."Gu Qingwan chuckled, it was really not easy to charge her with a crime!

"Where's the dregs this morning?" Gu Qingwan looked at Liang Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were cold.

"It's already buried." Liang Chen said.

"Oh? So coincidentally? Gu Qingwan sneered in his heart.

She wanted to see what they wanted to do!

"Gu Qingwan plotted to kill the crown prince of the dynasty, the evidence is conclusive, and his crime can be punished. Your Majesty, such wicked women must not be forgiven. Queen Zhou said worriedly to Zhu Hong, "I'm afraid that if I continue to connive, I dare to murder the prince today, and I don't know what I will do tomorrow!" ”

Zhu Honghu looked at Gu Qingwan with slight eyes and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Mingzhen took the lead in standing up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has no way to teach her daughter, and she is willing to obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

Gu Qingwan felt that her ears were almost calloused, and she didn't have any hope for Gu Mingzhen, but his greedy appearance and fear of death made Gu Qingwan really look down on him.

Zhu Tianyi looked at Gu Qingwan, who was still silent, as if it was not her who was about to be convicted.

Although he didn't want her to die, compared to the military power of Nanhou Mansion, sacrificing a woman was not a big deal.

He looked away and said, "Although Erchen doesn't believe that the Beiwan County Lord would do such a thing, the evidence is conclusive, and Erchen has no objections. ”

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked playfully at this group of people who were acting in a good show.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Hong slowly said: "The county lord of Beiwan poisoned and murdered the prince, and from today onwards, the county lord will be deprived of his identity, and he will be put in prison for the time being, waiting for his fate!" ”

It's finally here, isn't it?

Gu Qingwan met Zhu Hong's sharp gaze, her expression was as indifferent as ever, and she did not retreat in the slightest.

The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Qingwan complicatedly, and finally lowered her head and did not speak.

Feng Yan's eyes were dim, and he would never watch Xiao Wan being taken away from his eyes by someone else again.

Soon, several guards rushed in, wanting to step forward and take down Gu Qingwan.

Seeing this, Zhuyin stubbornly blocked in front of Gu Qingwan, with a solemn expression. Gu Qingwan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"Take that maid down with you!" Queen Chow Road.

Hearing this, Gu Qingwan pulled Zhuyin behind him and looked at the guards in front of him coldly.

Those guards pulled out the knives stuck in their waists one after another, and pointed at Gu Qing to save the master and servant.

"Take it!" As soon as Zhu Hong gave an order, those guards rushed towards Gu Qingwan. Wang Silian curled her lips and sneered at everything that happened in front of her.

"Who dare?"

Suddenly, an arrogant and domineering voice came.
