Chapter 62: The Crown Prince
Helian Jue moved to Wu Duo's side with a thousand pound steps, he desperately suppressed his heavy and rapid breathing, tremblingly stretched out his hand, and put it under the tip of Ah Huan's nose, trying to probe his breathing, but the result was ...... But he almost collapsed.
Despair surged into Helian Du's heart like a frenzy, and he looked at Ah Huan without a trace of fresh breath without blinking......
In such an extremely cold weather, Helian Duel's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he pursed his pale lips and stayed in place for a long time before putting his eyes on Wuduo's dull face.
Helian Du's pale lips twitched slightly, and she called Udo's name several times, but her eyes were still numb, and she sang the lullaby over and over again, until her voice was hoarse and unable to speak, and she still refused to stop.
Helian was so uncomfortable that he could barely breathe, he clenched his iron fist and ordered, "Come on, take the little boy...... Bathing and changing clothes......"
"Yes."
As soon as several maids took a few steps forward, Wu Duo, who had been humming nursery rhymes, suddenly held Ah Huan tightly in his arms, and waved at the maids with a hideous face, while shouting hoarsely, "Bold! Stand down! No one can take my Ah Huan away...... No one can take him away!! If you dare to go any further, I will behead you all!!"
Helian took a deep breath with his eyes closed, grabbed Udorand's wrist, imprisoned her in his arms, controlled her from making large movements, and shouted to the maid, "Don't take the little boy to bathe and change clothes yet!!"
"Yes...... Yes......"
"Don't take Ah Huan...... I beg you...... Don't take my Ah Huan ......."
Wu Duo cried, kneeling and crawling to recapture Ah Huan's body, but Helian decided to live and die and didn't let go, she and Helian decided to be a classmate since childhood, with great strength, and now she spared no effort to punch Helian Determination, struggling to recover Ah Huan's body, Helian Du could only hold her tightly, there was no other way.
Xu is Wuduo couldn't stand the accidents that came one after another, she cried and cried, and fainted again, Si Nanyue hurriedly checked her pulse.
"The eldest lady is in a hurry, it's okay, Your Highness don't worry."
Helian Du was already about to run out of energy, and now that he learned that Wu Duo was fine, he relaxed a little, his body almost couldn't support it, his feet shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Nothing...... It's okay......" Helian waved his hand, sat at the table in a reluctant, he supported his forehead with his hand, buried his face in his hand for a long time, and then asked tiredly, "Nanyue, Ah Huan...... Do you have a clue?"
"When I came here just now, I asked the next person, and said that the poison was in the osmanthus lotus seed soup that should have been eaten by the eldest lady, that is to say, the target of the poisoned person was the eldest lady, not Ah Huan Gongzi, and the eldest lady rarely goes out, and it is unlikely that she will have bad relations with outsiders, the biggest possibility is that the people in this palace, and it is very likely that it is a person who has had a conflict with the eldest lady recently...... Woman."
The cause of Ah Huan's death was revealed by her words, if it was the usual Helian decision, he would definitely find that person in a very short time, but now he has a splitting headache, his heart is like a mess, and he would rather kill by mistake than let go!
Helian decided to directly order: "Come on, pull out all the vulgar fans in the backyard and cut them down!" Pull their bodies out and feed them to the wolves!"
This order, not to mention the guards, even Si Nanyue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her words to implicate so many innocent women.
She has not been in the palace for a short time, and she knows the origin of these women, they are either slaves bought from the slave market, or beauties offered by subordinate officials, how many of them are willing to stay here?
In order not to implicate the innocent, Si Nanyue hurriedly said, "Maybe the murderer is not among them?!" In case we miss the real murderer, under the nine springs, Ah Huan will not be blind......
There was another silence that was so suppressed that it was suffocating, and Helian decided that he had not spoken for a long time, and after about a stick of incense, he suddenly slammed his fist into the table, and with a "bang", the rosewood table was smashed into a few cracks.
He said in a deep voice: "In one day, the city lord will help me find the murderer, otherwise there will only be female dependents in the palace
It's a dead end!"
In fact, this matter is not difficult to investigate, and Si Nanyue also knows the identity of the murderer, but in order to find evidence, she still sent someone to interrogate the people on duty in the dining room yesterday, and soon learned that there was a woman who was born yesterday, saying that she was ordered by His Royal Highness to take away the bowl of osmanthus lotus seed soup.
There were many people who had seen the woman, and soon the painter painted her portrait and posted it everywhere, and before evening, the soldiers guarding the city sent the frightened woman to the palace of King Xiao.
It went so smoothly that Si Nanyue couldn't help but be a little surprised, she thought about it carefully, and didn't have time to wait for the woman to confess, so she hurriedly sent someone to Tana's courtyard, but she was still a step too late.
A few people hurried into the door, and at a glance saw Tana's personal maid tiptoeing, hugging her from the white silk hanging from the beams of the room, she lay quietly on the ground, as if she was asleep, still like a peach blossom, delicate and lovely, but unfortunately, she had no breathing and heartbeat.
Si Nanyue sighed helplessly: "Why do you ...... this?"
Although the person is dead, the procedure that should be gone is still to be followed, and the guards searched for the unused poison in the corner of the Tana courtyard, and now the human and physical evidence is there, and the innocent women are saved.
The matter is over, Si Nanyue is still sitting in the room sullenly, she doesn't even have the appetite to swallow the soup made by Xi Ming, the little girl knows that she regrets that young life, so she persuades: "Although he is a child, he is the son of an enemy, Miss is sad and sad, don't hurt your body."
"But he is different from Helian Duel, he has a clear mind and treats people politely, which is indeed a pity." Si Nanyue hugged Tang Pozi, leaning on the side of the bed with her eyes closed tiredly, "And Tana...... She is a mother, how wrong is it to avenge her child, in fact, they should not have done this, but it is a pity...... They were close to Helian Duel...... Hmm......"
Xi Ming suddenly covered Si Nanyue's mouth hard, startled she quickly opened her eyes, Xi Ming's face enlarged in front of her, made a silent gesture, and whispered: "Miss often teaches me to be cautious in words and deeds, why don't I have a door on my mouth today, beware of the wall with ears, don't be ...... Ay? That's not right......"
Xi Ming's mind was suddenly empty, and she looked at Si Nanyue in disbelief, "Miss, this is ...... It won't be you...... Right?"
"Of course not!" Si Nanyue took Xi Ming's hand away, where did this girl go, Ah Huan was indeed a problem for her, but no matter what, she would not take the risk of attacking Ah Huan now.
She's just ...... I watched all this happen, and I didn't stop it.
"Alas......" Si Nanyue sighed, turned her head to look at the goose feather snow outside the window, and suddenly remembered the two corpse mountains in front of the gate of the ancient domain, and muttered: "This war involves the innocent, not only the ......two of them?"
The news of Ah Huan's poisoning and death soon spread to the palace, and King Chiyuan sat alone in the study, with no joy or sorrow on his face, but he kept holding the book in his hand and never left for a long time.
"Crunch—"
The door was pushed open, and Mrs. Xiyi, who was lightly dressed and plain clothes, brought a few dishes of side dishes, and looking at his appearance, she couldn't help frowning distressedly, and whispered: "The husband hasn't eaten for a day, and the concubine has made some dishes with her own hands, so you can eat a little more."
"Lay it down, I'm not hungry yet." King Chiyuan put down the book in his hand, took Mrs. Xiyi's hand and asked her to sit beside him, and sighed, "It's just a husband to ...... It's just a little ......."
"I know." Mrs. Xiyi leaned lightly on his shoulder, "Ah Huan is a sensible and good child, he is our emperor's eldest grandson, when the concubine was born last year, this child also painstakingly found a birthday gift for the concubine, the husband is sad, and the concubine is also sad......
Xijun washed, pain Jun's pain, she said and said, she couldn't help but wet her eyes, she raised her eyes to look at her husband's silver hair between the temples, her heart ached faintly, and persuaded: "But people can't be resurrected after death, your body is not as good as before, while you have to govern the eight cities, on the other hand, you have to beware of Mobei, family and state affairs, everything has to worry about you, so heavy pressure, if there is a prince to share a little for you, the concubine will not be so worried."
King Chiyuan also felt helpless, the height was unbearable, how could this throne be so easy to do, "If there is a suitable candidate at this time, why do you need to be like this for a husband......
The beautiful woman in her arms sat up, picked up the warm soup and handed it to him, and said meaningfully, "How can there be no one, it's the husband himself
I wish I would have seen it."
There was another silence, every time he mentioned this matter, he was silent, Mrs. Xiyi frowned, "Concubine Zhifujun still cares about that matter, but it is the grudge of the previous generation, you are afraid of the blood of his mother's family, but isn't he also your child?" The concubine is a female streamer, but it can also be seen that King Xiao is the most prestigious, the most skillful, and the most capable person to lead Chiyuan to strength, except for him, the concubine really doesn't know who else can take on this heavy responsibility."
"Although he has talent and prestige, he has always acted cruelly and cruelly, not to mention whether he can treat the people well when he sits in this position, I am afraid that you and my children are ...... Alas......"
King Chiyuan expressed his worries, supported his forehead melancholy, and said: "Living for my husband can keep your mother and son safe, but a hundred years later, if I go, En'er is fine, he has a fief, as long as the rules are in order, he will be safe, but our daughter will inevitably not be sent out by him in order to temporarily stabilize Mobei......
"Then kiss!!" Madame Xiyi's words were solemn, and she stood up suddenly, which couldn't help but startle King Chiyuan's heart.
He sat up straight and asked incredulously, "You...... What do you say?"
"The concubine said, then send You'er to Mobei and kiss!" Mrs. Xiyi repeated it word by word.
She sighed, and then said: "The concubine knows that the husband dotes on our children, but you are a father, but also a king, our daughter is not an ordinary child since she was born, she is a princess, and she has been supported by the people for many years, so she has to take on the responsibility of the family and the country, and share the worries of her father, not to mention who the next monarch is, whether she will marry her as a princess, even if you make this choice, the concubine will not say much."
