Chapter 73 The Prince's Probing
Aunt Cui had obviously just gone out, so Nan Zhaoxue nodded and took her into the house.
"what happen?"
"Back to the princess, I just went to the Nanfu area and got news that when Aunt Ruan came back this time, she went around the back door to enter the house."
"Huh?" Nan Zhaoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Back door?"
"Exactly."
This is strange. Normally, Aunt Ruan would act like Mrs. Nan's wife, throw away her identity as "concubine", and wish she could open the door every day when she returns home.
what is it today?
"Did you find anything?"
"A clever little beggar said that he smelled a strange smell in the carriage." Grandma Cui lowered her voice, "The old slave was wondering if he had used any medicine."
Nan Zhaoxue tapped her fingers, thinking quickly, and went through the back door, covering herself up, smelling like medicine, could it be... that she was injured?
"Has the Crown Princess ever returned to the city?"
"Never, only His Highness the Crown Prince has returned."
"We will change the group of people in Nanfu and keep an eye on her. In addition, we will find a few at the city gate to see when the Crown Princess will return to the city."
Nan Zhaoxue took another silver and gave it to Aunt Cui: "Be careful and ensure your own safety first. Don't go by yourself if you can afford it."
Aunt Cui's heart warmed: "Hey, thank you, Princess, for saving this time."
"How are your little grandchildren doing now? What are your son and daughter-in-law doing?"
Speaking of her little grandson, Grandma Cui smiled brightly: "Well, now I'm running around the yard, Huanshipi is so tight, my son knows a few words, and he found a medicine store to do some counting. Although the salary is not much, but
I’m not tired at all. My daughter-in-law is doing some makeup at home, washing and tonicing, which is really nice.”
Nan Zhaoxue felt that her childhood was quite beautiful.
"Let your child know when he enters the academy, and I will ask the prince to choose a better academy for his education."
Aunt Cui was slightly startled, then hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Princess! This is such a great kindness, and I can't repay it in return!"
"You don't need to repay me, just do your job well, go ahead!"
Aunt Cui thanked her profusely, holding the money tightly in her hand, and vowed to serve the princess well.
Nan Zhaoxue drew the "snake stinger" with a pen. This weapon was so vicious that no wonder the person who used it was exterminated.
I just don’t know if it was really destroyed?
She drew a question mark on the paper.
When the prince entered the room, he saw Feng Tianji leaning against the bed with his eyes closed and concentrating. His face was pale and pale. Sure enough, his old illness had relapsed.
A vicious arc flashed across the corner of his mouth. So what if he, the sixth brother, is so powerful? What about the God of War? He is still sick all day long.
Hearing the voice, Feng Tianji opened his eyes: "His Royal Highness."
As he said that, he opened the quilt and got down to the ground.
The prince walked a few steps quickly and hurriedly supported him: "Don't move, just lie down. There are no outsiders among my brothers."
Feng Tianji coughed a few times, and the prince looked worried: "Wasn't it fine when we left that day? How come it's serious again?"
Feng Tianji shook his head: "The imperial doctor said it was because he was traveling too much and didn't get enough rest. Coupled with the seasonal changes, it is inevitable that there will be recurrences."
The prince sighed and said: "Your health is also my concern. I have tried many remedies, but you still..."
"Your Majesty, please worry about it," Feng Tianji said weakly, "Have all the matters in the temple been taken care of? Does the Crown Prince have any other orders?"
"There is no order," the prince said earnestly, "I am here to see you and thank you. I heard from the abbot that you and your wife are closing the door to thank guests now because of us. Now I have caused you to fall ill. I am really sorry."
"What did His Highness say? They are all right," Feng Tianji took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "I wanted to write a letter to His Highness, but now that I'm back in Beijing, let's talk face to face."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Is everything going well on your way back, Your Highness?"
The prince was stunned: "Everything goes well, what does this mean?"
"My younger brother also just found out that Lao Qi returned to the city from the military camp. For some reason, he was robbed and killed. He came back with wounds all over his body. My father was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. I was detained again while I was ill.
In the mansion, the news is naturally a little worse."
The prince stood up in shock: "Is there such a thing? Who is so bold that he dares to assassinate the prince? That is the seventh prince of the day!"
"Ahem..." Feng Tianji coughed a few more times, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know something. My father gave Lao Qi the title of Yong, and he is now the Yongwang."
The prince's expression froze slightly, but he soon smiled again: "This is really great, the seventh child is worth it, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!"
Feng Tianji lowered his eyes, hiding the sarcasm in his eyes.
Having said this, the prince's face suddenly changed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
"Lao Qi was assassinated. Although nothing happened on my way back to Beijing, things were not peaceful in the temple. At that time, I thought it was a coincidence. Now it seems that someone may have attacked us at the same time."
Feng Tianji's eyes showed a stern look at the right time: "What happened to His Royal Highness in the temple? Is there someone with evil intentions?"
The prince's eyes fell on his face: "I was not assassinated, but for some reason, a fire suddenly broke out in the yard, and Grandma Cai was trapped in the fire and died.
The Crown Princess was also frightened because of this. She was already in poor health, and because of the fright and distress, she became even more unwell and needed to rest for a few more days."
Feng Tianji was shocked and said: "Such a thing happened? Have you ever caught the murderer?"
"No, it happened suddenly and I didn't see anyone. I didn't think much about it at first. But now that I think about it, I'm afraid that like my seventh brother, I was conspired by someone else."
Feng Tianji sneered in his heart: You and Lao Qi are different.
The prince observed his expression but couldn't see anything. He lost interest after trying it out. He couldn't see Nan Zhaoxue at the next glance, which made it even more boring.
"Then, sixth brother, have a good rest. I will go back first. I will also go to see my father and return to the East Palace to make arrangements."
"Brother Chen sends you..."
"No, you have a good rest. I will see you again in the Imperial Palace in a few days."
The prince patted him on the shoulder, turned around and led the people away.
As soon as he left, Feng Tianji immediately got out of bed: "Yum!"
Yum came in from outside: "Your Majesty."
"Tell the Seventh Prince to come see me."
"yes."
Feng Tianche was waiting impatiently, and after hearing what Yum Sheng said, he hurried to the study room.
"Brother Six, the prince is gone?"
"Well, he came to test me to see if I was really sick. I told him about your assassination and the gift of letters, and he would arrange for someone to see you."
"Ha," Feng Tianche gritted his teeth, "He still has the nerve!"
"There is no conclusive evidence yet. Don't be impulsive and reckless. He said that he also met an assassin in the temple. It seems that he wants to get together with you. In this way, even if your assassination is related to him, he
It also cleared up some suspicions.”
"He was assassinated? Was he talking nonsense? He was fine!" Feng Tianche frowned, "Where was he assassinated?"
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Go back to the palace to recuperate, and remember not to show off your lies. If there is news, I will inform you and I will let you take revenge."
Feng Tianche gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
After sending him away, Feng Tianji went to see Nan Zhaoxue.
