Jiang Yunxu rested in Prince Xuan's Mansion for less than two days, and someone would visit him every day.
However, they were all stopped by the housekeeper.
No one was allowed in.
Some of these people come here to laugh, but few come to visit sincerely.
He was able to resist the people outside, but Jiang Yunxu couldn't stop the imperial physician given by the palace, so he found a seriously injured woman in advance, lay on her bed, lowered the curtain, and only exposed her wrist for the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse.
.
"Imperial physician, my master..." Hong Qiao choked.
The imperial doctor frowned and quickly withdrew his hand. It was not easy to directly say that the person was hopeless, so he only said: "Take a good rest."
Without saying another word, he turned around and left.
Before she could calm down, another doctor came and checked her pulse for half an hour before leaving.
"Is it really hopeless?" Emperor Lingzhou asked.
The two imperial doctors knelt on the ground, with firm expressions on their faces: "Replying to the emperor, I have really felt my pulse. Princess Xuan is indeed dying, and her internal organs have been severely injured."
"Weichen's thoughts are the same as those of Dr. Li. Princess Xuan is only here for the past few days."
Emperor Lingzhou finally gave up his doubts, and after much hesitation, he sent someone to send a message to Chu Xuanzhi at high speed.
After all, Jiang Yunxu was Chu Xuanzhi's newly married daughter-in-law. She suddenly died without any news, so it was impossible to explain her death.
And he wanted to see what Chu Xuazhi's attitude was.
Queen Mu also came over, with a sad look on her face, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you should think of another way quickly. It is not an option to delay it any longer. Xiangya's envoys sent people to ask questions every day, and I kept it secret."
It won’t be long.”
Princess Xiangya died in Fengyi Palace or in the Jade Soup. Empress Mu felt she deserved to die just thinking about it.
This jade soup was her favorite place, and she often went to take a bath, but now, she didn't want to take a look.
Emperor Lingzhou had a cold face. The harem and the former court were eyeing him. Someone must take the blame for this matter.
"Where's Showa?"
"Zhaohe is still accompanying his mother in Cining Palace. Does the emperor mean that Zhaohe should come?"
Queen Mu's heart skipped a beat. The Queen Mother loved Princess Zhaohe very much, so this thing might not work.
Emperor Lingzhou closed his eyes: "There is no other way."
Unfortunately, the plan of Emperor Lingzhou was destined to fail. The Queen Mother seemed to have noticed it early and directly sent someone to reject Eunuch Li.
The reason was that Princess Showa had fetal motility, and the imperial doctor ordered her not to leave the bed, but to rest quietly.
Emperor Lingzhou gritted his teeth tightly, and the atmosphere in the main hall fell into silence again. Queen Mu suddenly said: "There is also Prince Qi, who hates because of love, so it is only natural to kill Princess Xiangya."
Chu Youqi?
If the queen hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about his son, and without any hesitation, he directly asked Eunuch Li to take Chu Youqi into the palace.
Chu Youqi, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, saw Eunuch Li. Not to mention how excited he was. Since the hunt, he fell from the mountain forest and broke his body. He also suffered more than a dozen boards. No one came to the entire county prince's palace.
Chu Youqi thought that he had been forgotten by the Lingzhou Emperor, but he did not expect that Eunuch Li could come in person.
"It's okay, Prince. The Emperor is thinking about you very much." Eunuch Li smiled and reached out to support Chu Youqi. Seeing that he was struggling to walk, he could still walk a few steps, so he said: "After all, it is a father-son relationship. You
Your Majesty is also hurt because of your injury, but he cannot care about you due to human reasons."
"I know it's not easy for my father." Chu Youqi was injured this time and had his engagement broken off in public. He also experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
He is no longer the third prince who was so noble before and after him.
Prime Minister Jiang's office gave up on him.
Yun Guiren was also banned.
He only had the position of a county king and a barren fief, and thought that this would be the end of his life.
I really didn’t expect that my father would still be thinking about me.
"I am unfilial. I have not received any response these days. I...I will go into the palace to pay my respects to my father. As long as my father can calm down, I will do whatever I want."
Chu Youqi didn't want to be given up. He still wanted to fight for it, so he just let it go. He was really unwilling to do so.
Eunuch Li nodded and helped Chu Youqi out step by step. Before setting off, he happened to see the new Jing Zhaoyin patrolling the streets with someone.
"This is?"
Chu Youqi was recuperating at home and didn't ask anything about what was going on outside, so he didn't know what was going on outside.
"Yesterday when Princess Xuan was leaving the city, the carriage collided with the previous Jing Zhaoyin. Princess Xuan was knocked out of the carriage on the spot and was seriously injured. The emperor was furious and dismissed Jing Zhaoyin from his official post." Eunuch Li explained.
.
"This bitch can't be just pretending, Eunuch Li. This bitch is very cunning and cunning. Especially if Mr. Zhang has offended her, she will definitely find a way to get revenge."
Chu Youqi's first thought was that he didn't believe it. He also heard that Chu Xuanzhi was not at the mansion, so he suggested that he go to Prince Xuan's mansion to see what happened.
Before Eunuch Li could speak, Chu Youqi had already ordered the guards: "Go to Prince Xuan's Mansion."
The two families were not far away, and they arrived in front of Prince Xuan's Mansion in less than half an hour. Chu Youqi couldn't wait to get off the carriage, he was going to expose Jiang Yunxu's hypocrisy.
Unfortunately, Chu Youqi miscalculated.
Prince Xuan's Mansion is not a place where he can run wild.
Yin Lei personally guarded the door, with a gloomy face and a sword in his hand: "Prince Qi, do you want to break into Prince Xuan's Mansion?"
"No, no, I just came to see Jiang Yun... Princess Xuan." Chu Youqi took two steps back, with a stern look on his face, actually a little afraid of Yin Lei's murderous aura.
What's going on? Everyone around Chu Xuanzhi is full of murderous intent.
My scalp feels numb just looking at it.
Yin Lei raised his eyebrows: "The princess is recuperating. I wonder in what capacity Prince Qi plans to visit?"
Chu Youqi couldn't say these words, for fear that if he said the wrong thing, Yin Lei would stab him with a sword.
Eunuch Li glanced at Chu Youqi who was shrinking, feeling a little disdainful in his heart. He was obviously a prince, but he was intimidated by the guards.
It's really useless.
So Eunuch Li looked at the sky and said, "Prince Qi, the emperor is still waiting for you."
Chu Youqi immediately took two steps back and caught Yin Lei's sinister eyes. He swallowed the insult on his lips and only dared to complain after getting on the carriage: "It's all spoiled by Uncle Nine Emperors. Even a guard has been spoiled."
I can’t control it, it’s simply too lawless.”
Eunuch Li closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.
Chu Youqi's stupid behavior soon reached Jiang Yunxu's ears. She raised her lips and sneered: "This idiot is still so proud of himself after being a scapegoat. It's extremely ridiculous."
"The princess means that the emperor wants to frame the death of Princess Xiangya on Prince Qi?"
Hong Qiao couldn't understand: "But Prince Qi is the emperor's biological son."
"So what if he is a biological son? The Emperor's son is not only Prince Qi, not to mention that Prince Qi has repeatedly violated the Emperor's taboos and is very close to Prime Minister Jiang. The Emperor has long been unable to accommodate him."
Emperors have been the most ruthless since ancient times, especially the Lingzhou Emperor, who was also suspicious. He had been involved in various forces over the years, and he was even more taboo about his own son gathering connections in private.
Jiang Yunxu is now extremely happy that she reconciled.
"Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion..." Jiang Yunxu smiled, wrote a letter himself, and went to Prime Minister Jiang in the tone of Chu Youqi asking for help.
As for water, of course the turbider the better.
Prime Minister Jiang received the letter, looked at the unfamiliar handwriting, and asked a few questions about who sent it.
"It was sent by people from Qijun Prince's Palace."
Prime Minister Jiang had no doubts. Maybe it was a noble person in the palace who gave the news, so Prime Minister Jiang hesitated for a moment. When he thought about the tragic death of his son, he had no clear relationship with the Lingzhou Emperor.
So Prime Minister Jiang changed into official uniform and went into the palace to discuss matters with the emperor.
At this time, Chu Youqi was arranged to wait quietly in the pavilion beside the koi pond next to the imperial garden of the palace.
"The emperor is handling official business and will come when he is finished." Eunuch Li reassured.
Chu Youqi immediately said: "It's okay, I will be waiting here."
The surroundings were suddenly quiet, and Chu Youqi didn't pay attention. He started feeding the fish in his spare time. Seeing the koi competing to eat the bait, he bent down to pick up the stone with evil intentions, and pointed it at the koi fiercely.
The carp smashed through.
Seeing the koi carp fleeing again, Chu Youqi felt very happy and cursed. He was just a guard, but he dared to yell at him. Damn it!
He had not noticed anything unusual on the water.
Suddenly, Chu Youqi was pushed hard and fell down into the koi pond off guard.
Chu Youqi kept splashing in the water. Fortunately, he was familiar with the properties of water, so he stood firm after a while. He wiped his face and looked for someone on the shore angrily: "Who is it? Who is plotting against this king behind my back?"
?”
There was no one on the shore, so Chu Youqi was so angry that she swam upstream towards the shore.
Suddenly there were more footsteps on the shore.
"It's not good, it's not good, the dispute between Prince Qi and Princess Xiangya has gone down the drain."
A palace maid shouted at the top of her lungs.
Chu Youqi suddenly had an unknown premonition lingering in his heart. Before he could react, he saw many people standing on the shore, including Emperor Lingzhou.
"Father?"
Emperor Lingzhou had a sullen face and pointed at him angrily: "I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You dared to attack Princess Xiangya in full view of the public. It was just that the engagement was annulled, but you were so upset that you killed her.
!”
Chu Youqi immediately defended: "Father, my son and I were wronged..."
The little eunuch not far away ran over in a panic to report.
Chu Youqi's mind was buzzing. He had never seen Princess Xiangya today. Looking along the line of sight, he saw someone lying on the ground. She was undoubtedly Princess Xiangya.
"This..." Chu Youqi could hardly process his thoughts. What on earth was going on?
Emperor Lingzhou suddenly raised his foot and kicked Chu Youqi hard on the heart. This kick used a lot of force and sent the person flying several meters away.
"Nie Zan, you have ruined the friendship between the two countries..."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think there is another hidden agenda in this matter."
I don't know when Prime Minister Jiang came over, but when Chu Youqi saw Prime Minister Jiang, he rushed forward as if he had seen a savior, hugging Prime Minister Jiang's legs tightly: "Prime Minister, I haven't seen Xiangya at all today.
Princess, I never had any dispute with her, I didn’t kill the person."
Prime Minister Jiang looked at Chu Youqi with disgust. He had not forgotten how Chu Youqi treated Prime Minister Jiang's house when he was so proud of himself a while ago.
He came today not to save Chu Youqi, but to prevent Emperor Lingzhou from coming to Taiwan and explaining to Xiangya.
Seeing Prime Minister Jiang, Emperor Lingzhou frowned instinctively.
"Your Majesty, I have also investigated various cases, big and small, from the hands of ministers. I have seen many cases. It seems that Princess Xiangya did not drown just now. It has been at least two days."
After saying this, Chu Youqi looked at Emperor Lingzhou in disbelief, and suddenly a terrible thought came to his mind.
Did the Lingzhou Emperor deliberately come to find him as a scapegoat today?
Emperor Lingzhou's face was tense and silent.
Eunuch Li's pupils suddenly dilated at the side, and his nervousness betrayed his true thoughts.
"Your Majesty, Prince Qi must have been wronged. I just passed by from afar and saw Prince Qi falling into the water for just a stick of incense. How could Princess Xiangya drown in such a short period of time?"
Prime Minister Jiang's words directly overturned all arrangements made by Emperor Lingzhou.
Emperor Lingzhou was speechless, suddenly angry that the late emperor allowed Prime Minister Jiang the privilege of entering and exiting the palace at will.
"Father, I have been wronged. I beg you to make the decision for me and investigate this matter thoroughly."
Chu Youqi kowtowed to Emperor Lingzhou again, regardless of being wet and trembling with fear.
As if the matter was not big enough, Prime Minister Jiang pointed at the two envoys from Xiangya who were rushing towards them not far away.
"When Wei Chen entered the palace, he happened to meet the two of them on the way. Thinking that it was just a matter of friendship after all, he took the decision and brought them into the palace without permission. Your Majesty won't blame Wei Chen, right?"
At this time, Prime Minister Jiang looked at Emperor Lingzhou's expression of wanting to eat someone, and felt extremely happy.
A few months ago, he was also tricked by Emperor Lingzhou.
He had suffered too much in the past few months, and the pain of losing his wife and children was still vivid in his mind. This time, he wanted to see how Emperor Lingzhou would explain.
"Princess!" Two envoys rushed forward. One of them checked Princess Xiangya's pulse and confirmed that her master had expired. She cried very miserably.
Prime Minister Jiang said nothing, quietly waiting for Emperor Lingzhou's reaction.
"Your Majesty, my master was summoned to the palace by the queen two days ago. Why did he suddenly drown? Can you give me an explanation?" the envoy asked.
The princess who was betrothed died inexplicably, and if the envoy didn't ask for details, they would not end well.
"That's right. It means that the princess died just after entering the palace two days ago. She didn't drown in the pool." Chu Youqi was anxious to distance herself and spared no effort to make a serious statement that she died two days ago.
.
The envoy immediately looked at the Lingzhou Emperor: "Yesterday, the Empress gave instructions that she would keep the princess for a few days because she fell in love with her. How could she die two days ago and not report it?"
"That's right, please ask the Emperor of Lingzhou to give an explanation to our princess and an explanation to Xiangya!" Another envoy also asked righteously.
Emperor Lingzhou glanced sideways at Chu Youqi with a gloomy expression, with a faint murderous look in his eyes.
