"Impossible, how could the mother take poison and commit suicide."

The third prince muttered to himself, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Hearing that the Nine Emperor Princes had died of their mother's concubine, tears had already wet their eyes.

"This is a letter left by Concubine Qi."

Su Wu said nothing, and handed the letter in his hand to the emperor.

Lu Yunzhao took the letter, and when he opened it, there were only two lines of words on it.

"This matter was done by a concubine, and now I apologize for my sins with death.

Please treat the three princes and the nine princes kindly. ”

After Lu Yunzhao finished reading it, he sighed, "You two can also take a look." ”

The letter left by Concubine Qi came to Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian again.

"Dongbo is easy to investigate the case and has been promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department. The original criminal department was old, and he was allowed to return to his hometown. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

While the sisters and brothers read the letter, Lu Yunzhao promoted Dong Boyi's official position by one level.

The original criminal department Shangshu retreated as an advance, and Mingzhe's move to protect his life made him withdraw from Shang Yuan's court forever.

Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian, sisters and brothers, were also taken aback when they heard that Concubine Qi had committed suicide by taking poison.

After reading the letter, the two of them also understood that Concubine Qi was protecting the three princes and protecting the Qi family.

Lu Jingqian naturally knew about this trick to abandon the car to protect the handsome, but was about to step forward but was pulled by Lu Luoxi and shook his head.

"Once the main culprit dies, there is no need to involve others, thank your father and the emperor for your mother Zhaoxue."

When Lu Luoxi heard that his father was promoted to Dongbo Yi, he didn't let him continue to investigate, and he already knew it in his heart.

My father's meaning is obvious, so let's stop here.

"You forced your mother to death, but you acted in a cozy manner."

The third prince spoke again, his words were angry, and Concubine Qi's death made him gradually lose his mind.

"Hehe, we forced Concubine Qi to kill our mother? Concubine Qi is to blame, she deserves it, even if she doesn't commit suicide, she will not escape death. ”

Lu Jingqian was also not used to the three princes, so he replied directly.

"You old Yan people are also worthy of comparing with my mother?"

The voice of the third prince became more and more excited, and his words became more and more excessive.

"Presumptuous."

Lu Yunzhao spoke with anger.

"Take the three princes down and be grounded for a month."

Before leaving, the third prince glanced at Lu Luoxi fiercely.

Lu Luoxi smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

When the third prince saw Lu Luoxi's smile, he was angry, "You." ”

Su Lie interrupted the thought of the third prince wanting to quarrel again, "Third prince, please." ”

Lu Yunzhao looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, whose eyes were red and swollen and still sobbing, and sighed.

"Send the Nine Emperor Princes back as well."

With the departure of the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince, the crown prince, who had been beside him but did not say a word, also opened his mouth.

"Father, don't be angry, the third brother is just a little short-tempered."

The prince has a gentle voice and elegant demeanor, and he is a humble gentleman and a benevolent gentleman.

Lu Luoxi not only thought to himself, but it was probably difficult for others to think that the powerful prince was so benevolent.

Lu Yunzhao glanced at the prince and nodded, his face calmed down a lot.

"Let's all go down."

Lu Yunzhao waved his hand.

"The retainers retired."

"Wechen retired."

After everyone left, Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian did not leave.

Lu Yunzhao saw the two people who were still standing in place, and he was a little puzzled.

"Xi'er, Qian'er, what's the matter?"

"Father, as mentioned before, we have avenged our mother's concubine, and we are leaving here."

Now that Concubine Qi is dead, Lu Luoxi is also thinking that it is time to leave here.

Concubine Qi is dead, but she has completely offended the Qi family, as well as the unfathomable prince.

If you continue to stay here, you will be drawn into the power struggle again, so it is better to leave early.

Presumably, the Qi family will not waste too many resources on those who have left Beijing.

Therefore, Lu Luoxi also hurriedly proposed to the emperor the idea of leaving the imperial city.

"Do you really want to go?"

"Hmm."

Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian both nodded at the same time.

"Okay, in the next two days, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to choose a fief for you, and I will come back to see my father more often."

Lu Yunzhao is also more and more fond of Lu Luoxi's daughter these days.

"Father, don't worry, Jingqian and I will often come back to visit our father."

Lu Jingqian also echoed Lu Luoxi's words, "Father, don't worry." ”

After Lu Luoxi said this, he couldn't help but think, can he really come back often?

Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian hadn't gone far from the Taiji Hall when they met the prince and the guard Gao Yun who seemed to be waiting for the two of them.

As the two approached, the prince smiled and said:

"Congratulations to the sixth sister and seventh brother for avenging the murder of their mother."

"This matter is thanks to the help of the prince's brother."

Lu Luoxi tested the prince with words, staring straight at the prince with his eyes, hoping to find something from the changes in his expression or eyes.

"What does the sixth sister mean by this, this palace has not helped."

The crown prince was still smiling, and his expression and eyes did not change in the slightest.

After saying that, the prince put away his smile and looked at Lu Jingqian, who still had a sickly face.

"How is the seventh brother doing, I need the palace to send someone to take some tonic medicine and send it to the house."

Lu Jingqian saw the prince's temptation.

"Brother Prince Xie cares, my body should be like this in this life, and the tonic is useless."

After speaking, Lu Jingqian coughed lightly twice.

"Seventh brother, take care of your health, Shang Yuan's future still depends on you and my brother."

The prince looked worried and caring, and in Lu Jingqian's eyes, he felt that the prince really cared about him.

"I'm afraid my body won't be able to do much, my mother's revenge has been avenged, and my sister and I are ready to leave the imperial city."

The prince was a little surprised by Lu Jingqian's words, and immediately smiled again.

"That being the case, the seventh brother can first take care of his body and then come back to help his brother."

"Brother Xie Prince is kind, my body still has to go back to lie down first, so I will retire first."

When Lu Luoxi and Lu Jingqian were about to leave, Lu Luoxi suddenly turned around.

"This paper ball was thrown to me by the prince's brother when I entered the palace today."

Lu Luoxi stretched out his hand, and a crumpled ball of paper was lying in the palm of his hand.

The crown prince smiled, did not speak, turned around and walked towards the East Palace with Gao Yun.

The prince and Gao Yun didn't go far away, and Gao Yun spoke:

"The third prince is grounded, the seventh prince is sick, and the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is becoming more and more stable."

The prince straightened his face, stopped, and looked at Gao Yun with a serious face.

"Don't be too optimistic."

"Qi Zhong is still there, and the three princes have not hurt the foundation."

"The Seventh Prince, although his condition is serious, it is not impossible to recover."

Gao Yun nodded, very much in agreement with the prince's idea.

"The prince is high-minded, far-sighted, and his subordinates admire."

Gao Yun seemed to think of something again, and added his thoughts.

"However, didn't the Seven Princes say that they were leaving the Imperial City? This is also in line with what we have found. ”

The prince smiled lightly.

"Everything in the world is difficult to predict, and no one can say for sure where things will go in the future."

Gao Yun didn't understand what the prince's words meant for a while, and smiled a little embarrassed.

The prince shook his head when he saw it, as if he felt that he was playing the harp to the cow.

"Keep staring."

After instructing Gao Yun, the prince muttered to himself as he walked along the path paved with stones.

"The sixth sister is getting more and more alert, but, unfortunately, it's a daughter."
