As soon as Princess Minghui appeared in mourning clothes, everyone in the royal study was stunned!
Who died?
Is he a relative of Princess Minghui of Nanling Kingdom? Grandfather Minghui came to the front of Emperor Zhaochu and knelt down with a sad look on his face. His voice was filled with sadness and his eyes were red. He must have just finished crying, "Father, Your Majesty, he...
…Gone.”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the imperial study room.
Chu Yue is dead?
I had a broken arm before and survived, so why did I suddenly die?
Chu Ye's eyes deepened and he narrowed.
"The King of Yue is dead?" Emperor Zhaochu looked at Princess Minghui solemnly, and the emperor's momentum suddenly emitted.
"Yes." Princess Minghui leaned over.
Emperor Zhaochu frowned and his eyes were cold, "What's going on?"
"An unknown illness suddenly occurred, and the whole body was covered with ulcers! My daughter-in-law immediately ordered someone to call a doctor, but before the doctor arrived, the prince... left." Princess Minghui said slowly, with an extremely sad voice. "Later, the doctor
When I arrived, I couldn’t tell what the illness was.”
There was silence in the imperial study room again, and the ministers' eyes were full of surprise.
The whole body is covered in ulcers! This is too miserable!
At this time, Eunuch Li's voice came from outside, but it was not reported to Emperor Zhao Chu, but to Chu Ye.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, there is someone coming from outside and he says he is your bodyguard."
Hearing this, Chu Ye raised his hands towards Emperor Zhao Chu, "Father, there should be news."
"Xuan!" Emperor Zhaochu quickly looked away from Princess Minghui with a cold expression.
Soon, a guard walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, we have found out that after the thieves robbed the treasury, they sent all the gold, silver and jewels they robbed to Prince Yue's Mansion."
boom!
There was an uproar in the imperial study room again!
Chu Yue sent people to force the palace and robbed the treasury, but he died violently?
Ministers, you look at me and I look at you, but no one makes a sound.
Emperor Zhaochu's eyes were as deep as the sea, and the coldness in his eyes was as if the sea was frozen.
…
At the same time, the news reached Jinghe Palace.
"Princess Qi, this is the news I heard." A man knelt on one knee in front of Xie Yao, with a murderous air on his body.
This person is the person Chu Han arranged in the palace. He is mainly responsible for inquiring about information and checking the situation. He has provided Chu Han with a lot of help.
This time, before Wu Feng took the order to leave the palace, he found this person and asked him to inquire about the princess.
If the princess wants to save the prince, all the news must reach the princess's ears in time.
Xie Yao glanced at this person, her eyes darkening slightly.
Chu Yue is dead?
And he died of ulcers all over his body?
She doubted this but could not confirm it yet.
"Go down and report any important news at any time." Xie Yao waved her hand.
"Yes." After the visitor responded, he quickly left, disappearing in an instant and making no sound.
After the others left, Xie Yao took a pen and scribbled on the paper, writing down all the recent events and thinking about countermeasures.
Regardless of whether Chu Yue really died or faked his death, as soon as the news of Chu Yue's sudden death came out, her plan to frame him was bound to be affected.
Emperor Zhaochu may very well use this to cover up the robbery of the treasury. It won't take long, as long as Emperor Zhaochu delays tomorrow, it will be the day to interrogate Chu Han.
After thinking about it, she immediately got up and went to find Concubine Jing.
When Concubine Jing learned that Xie Yao was looking for her, she immediately dismissed all the servants and got up to see Xie Yao.
"What do you want to see me for? But what's wrong with the fetus in your belly?" Concubine Jing thought that there was something wrong with Xie Yao's belly, so she came in a hurry.
Seeing Xie Yao's expression as usual, she was a little confused.
"Concubine, I want to leave the palace." Xie Yao's voice was solemn and her expression was firm.
She must find out whether Chu Yue really died or faked his death!
"No!" Concubine Jing was shocked and refused directly without thinking, "You can only stay here to raise your baby with peace of mind, you can't go anywhere!"
Then, she softened her tone and said, "I know you are worried about Han'er. You don't have to worry. I have already made preparations. Moreover, a thief has robbed the treasury. With a little effort, I can rescue Han'er."
Xie Yao sighed in her heart and said gently to Concubine Jing: "Concubine, please sit down first and let me explain to you in detail."
The fact that the treasury was robbed has become known throughout the capital, and it is normal for Concubine Jing to know about it.
She had to go out, so she could only tell Concubine Jing the news in her hand.
"Mother and concubine, my father has found out that the people who robbed the treasury were ordered by the King of Yue, but Princess Minghui entered the palace in mourning clothes and said that the King of Yue was seriously ill and died suddenly. Therefore, the matter of robbing the treasury is likely to be suppressed by the emperor.
Next, after tomorrow, it will be the day of questioning."
"As long as the King of Yue is still alive, there will be room for maneuver in rescuing the prince."
"What? The King of Yue is dead?" Concubine Jing was startled subconsciously, but she quickly reacted and looked at Xie Yao seriously, "How did you know about this?"
Xie Yao knew that Concubine Jing would ask, so she answered truthfully, "It's the person the prince arranged in the palace before, and he just sent me a message."
"Han'er?" Concubine Jing heard that it was King Han's person, and there was no doubt that he was there. Just when she was about to ask something more, her expression suddenly paused, and her eyes quickly darkened, lifeless.
She was also in the palace, and as a concubine, she had no idea about these things. This was because she had ordered someone to investigate them deliberately.
If she doesn't check, she might not know anything.
With so little information, how could she rescue Chu Han?
As a mother, she can only watch helplessly as her child is about to be executed, but there is nothing she can do.
At this moment, all the hopes she had accumulated yesterday disappeared in an instant, leaving not a drop left.
Xie Yao guessed that Concubine Jing would react like this, so she stepped forward and whispered: "Concubine, don't worry, we still have time. I will definitely try to rescue the prince!"
After hearing Xie Yao's words, Concubine Jing's eyes became brighter. She looked up at Xie Yao, then at Xie Yao's belly, and sighed, "You are pregnant, but you still have to worry about these things. Really?"
I have wronged you."
Xie Yao smiled comfortingly, "He is my husband. If he is in danger, of course I will help!"
"Concubine, don't worry for now. Once I leave the palace to find out the circumstances of King Yue's death, I will know how to save him."
Even though Concubine Jing did not want Xie Yao to leave the palace, she could not stop her. She called Xiangdong, and then looked at Xie Yao, "I asked Xiangdong to take you out of the palace. She was with you outside the palace.
It's good to have someone to take care of you. You can just change your appearance to a palace maid at will."
Xie Yao thought that it would be more convenient to have someone by her side, so she did not refuse, "Thank you, concubine. I'll take my leave, daughter-in-law."
After saying that, he took Xiangdong out of the palace.
…
Palace, prison.
The prison where Chu Han was imprisoned was dark and dark, and it was dark, damp, and cold all day long. People shivered in the cold.
In the cell, Chu Han sat cross-legged on the ground, his face as sinking as water, and the dark light flickering in his slightly narrowed black eyes, as deep as the abyss.
Xie Yao must have received the news that he was about to be beheaded. I hope this silly girl can be sensible enough and never show up!
"Meow!" A cat meowed suddenly from nowhere, followed by a paper ball being thrown at Chu Han's feet.
