Cui Minglou rushed back to the capital to clean up King Lu, interrogated the chief of the guard, and then reported to Emperor Yongchang, and was immediately called by Emperor Yongchang to sort out the matter, sort out the documents, and stayed in the Zhenfu Division all night, and never returned to the palace at all.

The Empress Dowager Cui in the palace did not receive the news that Cui Minglou was safe, so nervous that she didn't sleep all night, and when she got up the next day, there was a large area of black blue under her eyes, and her eyes looked swollen and dull.

But at this time, she couldn't take care of the dignity of the queen mother, and when she barely finished her breakfast, she frowned and asked coldly: "Is there no news so far?" How can it be so slow? Is there any news from the Holy One? ”

Even if it's a search and rescue, it's been a day and a night, so there should be some news, right?

So many people fell together, even if Cui Minglou was not found first, what about the others, didn't they find any of them? If you find it, you should come back and tell it.

There is also Lu Mingwei, she also went out of the palace to find someone outside the city, a girl's house, and I don't know how she spent last night.

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Cui felt uneasy, and was about to ask Mama Wenhua to ask again, when she heard a bell ringing in the distance.

It's the death knell!

This bell is only ringed when someone from the royal family dies.

And five times is exactly the specification that only the prince has when he dies.

Cui Minglou, although everyone has always called him Little Wangye, everyone knows that he is the ironclad King of Pingjiang.

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Cui trembled, stood up from the table all of a sudden, pointed to the door and said with some shortness of breath: "Go, go find someone to ask."

And Princess Cui, the princess of Zhou, who came in with a cup of ginseng soup, was already stupid.

Her brain, which has always been quite fast, couldn't turn at all at this moment, and the whole person stood in place and forgot about it, looking at the Empress Dowager Cui in disbelief, and when she understood that the bell really rang five times, she suddenly let go of the hand holding the soup cup.

The soup cup fell to the ground with a clatter, and splinters were scattered everywhere.

But at this time, everyone was in no mood to care about this, and Empress Dowager Cui didn't even dare to let Mama Wenhua go out to ask what was wrong.

There was no news for this day and night, but now the death knell has been sounded, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?

Empress Dowager Cui was stunned and did not react, and the whole person was stunned.

Only Princess Zhou suddenly fell, and the whole person fell to the ground, and suddenly cried without any image.

She's so uncomfortable, this is her brother's only bloodline!

She can't even keep this!

Empress Dowager Cui didn't care about scolding her at all, but her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.

In the end, it was the grandmother outside who reported that Emperor Yongchang was coming.

Of course, Empress Dowager Cui used to be eager to see her son, but now, she can't wait for her son not to come.

She looked at Princess Zhou next to her and was speechless for a while.

When Emperor Yongchang entered the door, he saw the depressed Empress Dowager Cui and Princess Zhou, both of whom were in a state of mind and didn't know what to do.

He thought about it for a while and knew why, stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager Cui, called out to the queen mother, and said, "The fourth child is gone." ”

Fourth?

Fourth?

Empress Dowager Cui's brain couldn't turn anymore, she turned her head and looked at Emperor Yongchang in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

King Lu?

Isn't it Ming Lou?

Princess Zhou also looked at Emperor Yongchang blankly, and her heart was shocked for a while.

Emperor Yongchang sighed softly: "It's the fourth, in the middle of last night, he suddenly fell ill, because there were only a few children in the house, so I didn't know what to do, early this morning, the palace door opened, and the news was sent in. It was too late, and the fourth child died. ”

King Lu suddenly fell ill?

Empress Dowager Cui was surprised to have strength, and her mind was a mess at this time, but she still held on to her spirit and asked, "What the hell is going on, Emperor, the fourth child."

Emperor Yongchang glanced at the attendants around him, and everyone hurriedly retreated.

Only Empress Dowager Cui and Emperor Yongchang were left in the palace, and even Princess Zhou, who had been anxious, had already retreated.

There was no one else, so Emperor Yongchang whispered the reason why Cui Minglou fell off the bridge.

didn't expect that this matter was calculated by King Lu, so he tensed up for a while, and opened his mouth with a worried face: "Is the fourth child crazy?" He's distinct."

Even if he made such a big mistake before, although Emperor Yongchang was disheartened by him, he still gave him a way to go to Jizhou.

Go to Jizhou to exercise for a few years, and he can come back.

But he wanted to do such a thing.

Thinking of Cui Minglou, Empress Dowager Cui really had no way to mention any reluctance and pity for King Lu's death, she took a deep breath: "The fourth child is simply crazy, he originally looked a little like that, but in recent years, he has done more and more heartbreaking, and the children don't let go!" It's just too much. Even if he doesn't make a mistake this time, he will still go to extremes next time, he is such a person. ”

Emperor Yongchang also understood Empress Dowager Cui's anger.

He nodded and said, "Moreover, what makes me most angry is that Minghui went to inform Minglou of this matter, if it weren't for this, today's bell would really ring for Minglou." I can tolerate his momentary confusion, and I can tolerate his narrow-mindedness and selfishness, after all, he is my son, and for that alone, I will not kill him unless he commits a heinous crime. But this time it was too much, he let his sons live in fear all the time, and if this continues, the three children will have problems sooner or later, and I really can't tolerate it. ”

Empress Dowager Cui knew that Cui Minglou was fine, so she really let out a long breath.

But King Lu's death did make her feel a little uncomfortable.

She sighed: "The mourning family originally wanted to say that this was a tragedy caused by the position of the prince, but if you think about it carefully, even if he is given the position of the prince, his temperament must not tolerate the threat of other brothers." This kind of character that prospers, and perishes, who goes against me, is really terrible. ”

It's okay now, King Lu will die sooner or later if he tosses like this.

She just whispered, "Then the royal family is going to have a funeral."

First Princess Lu died, and now King Lu is dead, which is really uncomfortable.

Emperor Yongchang said: "It's not just bad things, it's not that the fourth child is ruthless, it's that there is no other choice, this path is really his own choice, and he can't blame anyone." There is also a benefit to this. ”

Empress Dowager Cui knew that Emperor Yongchang's heart must not be a taste, and when she saw him change the topic, she also sighed and asked, "What is the benefit?" ”

Emperor Yongchang was silent before he said: "I'm talking about the second girl of the Lu family, since she will run outside the city."
