As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 270 Hui’an Hall

"I see."

Yun Qi stood up, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, an official from the East Palace came to see him. The prince calmed down and ordered someone to summon him.

Although the prince had not reported to Emperor Xuanwu about what King Liang had said to the prince before he died in Tianlao, he had sent his confidants to verify it. Now this official is the one to verify the matter.

The prince retreated, leaving only Yun Qi and Yan Li, and then asked the official: "How was the investigation?"

"According to His Highness's instructions, I checked them one by one, but did not find anything important." The official frowned and said, "There are indeed some secret messages in the secret compartments of Prince Liang's palace, but they are probably between Prince Liang himself and It is known to the courtiers."

"As for the Sixteenth State of Youyun, it's too far away after all. The people sent out probably haven't arrived yet. I'm afraid..."

The official said this, but the unfinished meaning is very clear.

Looking at the current situation, it may be difficult to find anything.

The prince lowered his eyes for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I know, I've worked hard for you these past few days, go down and rest."

"Yes."

After the officials retreated, there was silence in the study.

Yun Qi's expression was calm, but the corner of his eye glanced at Yan Li behind the prince without leaving any trace.

Yanli lowered his eyes, as quiet as a statue, more like a shadow.

If you don't stare at him specifically, he really has no sense of existence.

The prince thought for a moment and sighed: "Now that the third brother is dead and the twelfth brother is also poisoned and unconscious, the clues to trace the matter are broken. It seems that this is the end."

"Yeah." Yun Qi nodded, "Let's take one step at a time and see what happens."

After exiting the study, Yun Qi entered the East Palace Garden.

"How are things going?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged." Lin Ye said in a low voice: "There will be a big show in the East Palace tonight."

"That's good."

Yun Qi took a steady step, looked at the beautiful azaleas blooming on one side and smiled coldly.

At any time, the truth spoken by red lips and white tongues is more conclusive than what can be seen with one's own eyes.

This East Palace will be cleaned tonight.

Night fell gradually.

In the Hui'an Hall at the northwest corner of the East Palace, the Crown Princess in a blue-gray monk's and nun's robe looked at the food in front of her and frowned.

This is a vegetarian dish sent from the kitchen.

More than half a year has passed since the Land and Water Conference was banned.

They were not allowed to move freely, and had to rely on the kitchen to deliver food and drink. There was nothing delicious or easy to swallow.

Now that my body is different, I feel even more upset and angry when I look at this meal, and I don’t even want to move my chopsticks.

Aunt Zhao persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, please eat a little. If not for yourself, think about the child in your belly."

"..."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes in boredom: "I can't eat it, and I don't want to take a bite. You can just eat it."

"Mother-in-law——" Aunt Zhao wanted to persuade her again, but Wang had already stood up and went to the quiet room at the back.

Aunt Zhao sighed heavily, called the little maid and said, "Go outside and buy some meat and come back. Be careful, you know?"

"Know!"

They've been doing this a lot lately, and the little maid was familiar with the place, so she immediately changed her clothes and went out.

Aunt Zhao sat down at the table and moved her chopsticks, but her mood was a little solemn.

The Crown Princess was pregnant years ago, and she was very young at that time, so she suggested that the Crown Princess have an abortion.

But the princess didn't want to die.

She had been looking forward to having a child for so many years and finally got pregnant. How could she give up?
Aunt Zhao had no choice but to plan with the Crown Princess, how to get out of this forbidden Buddhist hall, and then sleep with the Crown Prince one night, and the child would have an explanation.Unexpectedly, just as he had planned, the prince suddenly inspected the East Palace and discovered the matter of Zi Mu Ku.

He also sent someone to remind the princess and asked her to worship the Buddha with all her heart and pray for everyone.

Wang's master and servant had a guilty conscience to begin with, and coupled with the many things happening outside, they felt uneasy. As a result, they immediately became frightened and did not dare to act randomly.

Just this delay makes the child older.

That's the meat that grows in your belly.

Even though Mrs. Wang knew that she could never keep this child, she was really reluctant to let him go. She kept going back and forth until now.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhao is loyal and has always covered and protected her.

However, this month is getting bigger and bigger, and in two months it will be time to give birth. Should I give birth to the child?
Aunt Zhao felt a headache after thinking about it.

The dishes on the table were not very good to begin with, but now that I looked at them again, I felt even more unappetizing, so I simply got up and left.

Time passed little by little, and Grandma Zhao was pacing back and forth in front of Hui'an Hall, anxiously waiting for the little girl to come back after buying food.

Now I don't care about the treachery of eating meat in front of the Buddha. I just hope that Wang can eat something and feel better, and then quickly think about what to do next.

The patter of footsteps sounded in the night.

Aunt Zhao went up to her with a lantern, and saw the panting little girl's face beaming with joy: "You're back, and you've bought some things? Come in quickly."

"Yes Yes……"

The little girl and Aunt Zhao walked in and said solemnly: "Mom, I heard the news outside."

"What news?"

While taking out the meatloaf and roasted chicken from the oil paper packages, Aunt Zhao wanted to go inside and invite the Crown Princess out to eat.

"The people in the restaurant said that His Highness King Zhou was poisoned and could not be cured..."

"what?"

Aunt Zhao's face changed slightly.

"Can you say that again."

A high-pitched female voice also sounded at the same time, "Besides, what happened to King Zhou?!"

The little girl trembled all over and whispered: "King Zhou has been poisoned and cannot be cured. He is unconscious."

The princess's face turned pale, and her body fell softly to the side.

"Miss!"

Aunt Zhao quickly stepped forward to support her and said anxiously: "Stay steady, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

The Crown Princess's face turned pale, and she held Nanny Zhao's arm hard, "Why are you poisoned? Why are you poisoned?"

The little girl swallowed her saliva and looked at the Crown Princess blankly, feeling a little strange in her heart.

The Crown Princess seemed frightened and very sad.

But if something happens to His Highness King Zhou, why should she be sad?
*
While the prince was busy in the study, Zhang Liangdi sent someone to bring a soup, saying that she had made it herself.

In recent times, the prince has visited Zhang Liangdi the most.

Zhang Liangdi was gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable, courteous, and very fond of the prince. At this time, she asked someone to bring the soup to her and took a few sips.

"It's delicious and fragrant, oily but not greasy." The prince commented lightly, his expression a little complicated for a moment, "The prince often made this fish soup for the orphans in the past."

He couldn't help but think of his stepwife Wang.

Over the years, Wang has been law-abiding and cautious, managing everything in the East Palace and taking care of his daily life. She has not made any mistakes, except for the plan of the Water and Land Congress against Yun Qi.

In fact, the prince also knew Wang's feelings.

At that time, Wang was pregnant with a child, but Yun Qi had an accidental miscarriage and injured her body. She was afraid that this was the case, so she held a grudge against Yun Qi.

The prince looked at the fish soup and sighed secretly, "Send someone to take the princess out of Hui'an Hall."
