Chapter 324: Twists and Turns
After Su Qing dealt with some urgent matters, he was about to leave for Xie Wanjun's hometown in Hangzhou to find her, and when he heard Gu Changfeng say that matter, he was very worried in his heart, and he couldn't wait to appear in front of her now.
"Li Ze, have you remembered all the things that this king told you?" It should take him a little time to find her this time, so he needs to tell Li Ze how to contact him.
"Although the prince can rest assured, all his subordinates have been remembered in his mind." Li Ze nodded, and when he thought of his master's imminent departure from the capital, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Su Qing didn't know that this matter was taken to heart, he responded casually, and when he was about to leave from the study, a little guy hurriedly ran in from outside, and called out in his mouth: "Lord, something is wrong, eldest princess, she committed suicide, the emperor let you enter the palace immediately!" ”
"What did you say!" Hearing this news, his heart immediately sank, if this matter was really true, then I was afraid that he would not be able to leave the capital......
"This matter is indeed true, the news that came out of the palace just now said that the eldest princess and Miss Lu were originally enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden together, but the eldest princess left first for some reason, this just leaving does not count, she then threw herself into the lake on the road." The little guy told everything he had heard.
When Su Qing heard this, his fists couldn't help clenching, his eyes were filled with anger, he turned his head to look at Li Ze, and said in a deep voice, "That matter will be postponed." After saying that, he left the Regent's Mansion and went to the palace first.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study
"Weichen see the emperor." He curtsied, his expression dark.
The emperor nodded slightly, he was not in a good mood at the moment, the envoy group was assassinated in the capital a few days ago, and no one survived, that's all, the eldest princess is still safe, but this time, even the eldest princess can't think of throwing herself into the lake, which makes him, the emperor, how to arrange this matter!
"What do you think of the eldest princess throwing herself into the lake?" This Helan Yu'er was thinking about Su Qing, and the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to see how he answered.
"It has nothing to do with the minister, it is her freedom to throw herself into the lake, and it has nothing to do with the minister." His voice grew colder, and the Emperor could even discern a hint of disgust in it.
"After all, the princess is thinking about you, that's it, although she has been rescued by the imperial doctor now, but she still needs someone to take care of her, for the sake of the friendship between Dayuan and Xichu, Aiqing, you will sacrifice your ego." After speaking, the emperor looked at Su Qing with sharp eyes, and the meaning of the period could not allow him to refuse.
"Yes." Su Qing bowed slightly, so he left the imperial study.
The eldest princess's residence
"Lord Wang." Helan Yu'er's maid sat on the edge of her princess's bed with red eyes, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and kept wiping the sweat for the princess, she looked at Su Qing, her eyes were full of joy.
"The princess has been thinking about the princess in her heart, and I am finally willing to come and see our princess." She came to Dayuan with her princess from such a distant country, originally hoping that the princess could find a wishful husband, and that wishful husband could be good to her for the rest of her life, but Su Qing was obviously not like this.
However, the people of Dayuan said that adversity saw the truth, and now that the princess is in weak health, the regent still came to see her.
"This king just came to see how she was, whether she was dying." He has always had a poisonous tongue about people he doesn't care about, not to mention that the woman in front of him still used conspiracy and tricks, so that he couldn't go to Xie Wanjun today, how could he have a good face?
"Lord Wang......" is the flush of anger on your cheeks after hearing this, and when she was about to speak, Su Qing glanced at her very impatiently.
Immediately, he didn't dare to say anything.
On the other hand, after Lu Qingyao knew that Helan Yu'er committed suicide according to their plan, she went directly to Xiao Shizi's resting place, she had prepared a veil soaked in poison, and was ready to cover his face later.
The emperor has never cared much about this child, so there are not many people who take care of the palace, and even the protection of this palace is a big loophole, as long as it takes a little effort to enter.
Chamber
The child is still sleeping very peacefully, she looked at Xiao Shizi's very stable sleeping face, and felt a little unbearable in her heart, she You are a mother, and you are born with motherhood in the face of children.
So I couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, which was soft, just like her child.
And at this time, the child suddenly opened his eyes, and those eyes were shining like obsidian, with a little playfulness in them, like Xie Wanjun's big eyes.
"You shouldn't be like him!" She was completely ready to kill Xiao Shizi, and she was ready to push the matter to Su Qing's assassin, but she couldn't bear it in her heart, but when she looked at the big eyes now, it was completely ruined, and all the sorrows and tragedies in her life were brought by his mother.
If it weren't for Xie Wanjun, she Lu Qingyao, the daughter of a dignified scholar, a man in the capital, she could choose at will, and even he might marry Su Qing, who he longed for, but because of her Xie Wanjun, everything was shattered like fireworks!
"If you open your eyes like your father at this moment, maybe I really won't allow you to be killed." Her face became hideous, and she slowly took out the poisonous veil from her sleeve, and was about to cover it when someone suddenly pushed her away.
"Hmm." There was a sharp pain at her elbow, and she looked at the imperial concubine standing in front of her in astonishment, "Imperial concubine Niangniang?" ”
"You're just presumptuous!" When the imperial concubine saw her, she immediately held Xiao Shizi in her arms in fear, then took a few steps back and looked at her with disgust, "You are also a mother, how can you treat a child so cruelly?" He's as old as your child! ”
"How can you be so ruthless! Scold! She laughed out loud, her eyes moistened, "It's really good for the concubine to ask this, why should I do it to a child?" Because I can't see Xie Wanjun, she is doing better than me, isn't she all about this child? Then I want this child to die, and I want her to taste the heart-wrenching pain of the most precious thing she has disappeared in front of her! ”
"Maniac!" The imperial concubine didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she left the inner room directly with the child in her arms.
The imperial concubine immediately took the child back to her own dormitory, and then sent someone to send a letter to Su Qing by the way, and she had also heard a little about Helan Yu'er, it was not easy after all.
And after Su Qing knew about this, he went directly to Lu Qingyao, he didn't expect that his connivance at that time would actually be exchanged for a bite now!
Lu Qingyao's residence
"The prince is here?" Looking at Su Qing, a mocking smile appeared on her face, "What, is the prince here to ask the master?" ”
From the moment her plan failed, she knew that Su Qing would definitely not let herself go, but she didn't expect that the imperial concubine's movements were really fast, and it was only a long time.
"Slut!" He thinks that his upbringing is very good, and he almost never swears, but when he encounters this thing that Lu Qingyao did today, he really can't bear it.
Su Qing really couldn't imagine that if it weren't for the imperial concubine who happened to go to Xiao Shizi today and wanted to take care of him, wouldn't his son be finished? Then when Xie Wanjun came back, how could he explain to her?
Thinking of this, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and then kicked Lu Qingyao in the chest, kicking her directly out of a mouthful of blood.
"Lord Wang, I really don't have any old feelings!" She felt a burst of ridicule in her heart when she thought that Su Qing was so tender to her at the beginning, often going in and out of Shangshu Mansion, and not excluding her closeness.
"Old love?" He smiled mockingly, then lifted her chin with his hand and stared at the little face wrinkled by pain, "What old relationship does this king have with you?" You don't look at your face, it's all ugly! ”
After saying that, he slapped her like disgusted garbage, mercilessly.
"It's true that you and I don't have any old feelings, but Lord Wang, I almost killed your son today, but I'm still a little soft-hearted, and now that I think about it, I think it's ridiculous, I should have covered his face with a handkerchief as soon as I went in, Lord Wang." The corners of her bruised mouth rose slightly.
"Does the prince know what kind of poison I prepared? That's something that can make people die painfully, so now I say it's a pity that I couldn't witness your son die in front of me! ”
"Get out!" Su Qing was even more furious, so she didn't show any more affection, punching and kicking her.
Lu Qingyao felt that her whole body was about to fall apart, her body hurt so much, but she still gritted her teeth and said nothing, she told herself to remember the pain to the bone, to remember that people are sometimes soft-hearted, and they are worthless!
I don't know how long she was beaten, Su Qing finally let her go from exhaustion, she closed her eyes slightly, so she couldn't hold back the pain all over her body, and fell asleep directly.
She thought that she had at least multiple fractures all over her body.
The emperor also quickly learned about this matter, stunned and angry at the same time, so he didn't dare to give the child to Lu Qingyao again, he directly and decisively ordered that the imperial concubine take care of the emperor's eldest grandson, and directly imprisoned Lu Qingyao, of course, after all, it was the royal daughter-in-law anyway, and he also did it very benevolently, and sent the imperial doctor to see her injuries.
However, Lu Qingyao couldn't tolerate her current situation, she took out the only bracelet she had, bribed the maid who brought her food, and asked him to find Helan Yu'er.
