The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 409

Tantai Lin, who was about to return to her parents' home with Jing Li, said displeasedly: "We'll talk about it later if we have something to do!"

Today was the big day to return home, and he didn't want to miss Jingli's good mood.

Jing Li pulled him and said to Chen Zhongyu, "Tell me what happened!"

Chen Zhongyu thought for a moment and then whispered: "Early this morning, Suminglou received a letter from Fei Ge from Shu. It is encrypted and urgent!"

Jingli's heart skipped a beat. She now knew something about Suming Tower. If the situation was not critical, Shu would not have conveyed news in this way during this time of endless war.

Sure enough, Chen Zhongyu continued: "His Majesty passed away the night before yesterday!"

This news immediately shocked both of them. According to Tantai Lin's speculation, isn't it still more than a month away?
Why did he die suddenly?

"How did you die?" Tantai Lin asked with a solemn expression.

Chen Zhongyu hurriedly replied: "It is said that the King of Wei was getting married that day. Du Zhong, the governor of Yizhou, wanted to show the emperor's grace and specially invited his majesty out to watch the ceremony."

"The newlyweds bowed to heaven and earth, and when it was time to bow to the high hall, His Majesty made two whooshing sounds in his throat, vomited out a large mouthful of blood, and instantly lost his breath!"

This time of death is really good enough. Regardless of whether King Wei will ascend the throne in the future, just the fact that his father died at his wedding is enough to make the world reviled.

Tantai Lin put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "The second brother is so clever. He actually got stuck in such a timely manner. I think Chen Liuwang, the sixth brother, will also add fuel to the flames!"

He had always been calm, but it was rare for Jingli to see him laugh so uncontrollably that he actually burst into tears.

Jing Li hurriedly ordered Uncle Fang: "Close the door. Now that the news has not been revealed, we don't know. If the news spreads, we should hang up the white lanterns that should be hung!"

"No matter what he does! Come on, go back to the door, Dezi, go buy some firecrackers, I will have a good celebration today!" Tantai Lin ordered with a smile.

Dezi looked at Jingli uneasily, is this really appropriate?

Jingli said to Dezi: "Since the prince has given you such an order, you can go ahead!"

"Hahaha, this wedding is really wonderful!" Dezi, who had already gone out, could still hear the prince's laughter.

In the temporary palace in Shu, Concubine Ruan broke a table of porcelain and couldn't help but feel angry: "Who is it? Who is it? You want to make trouble with my son!"

"Have all the people serving around the old guy been interrogated?"

The chamberlain said tremblingly: "The beauty who was serving your majesty fell into a well and died last night. The rest of the palace people also died. They are so crazy that they can't find out the result!"

"Trash! They are all trash!" Concubine Ruan was furious. She grabbed the ornaments on the table and threw them at the servant. The jade object hit her forehead, and blood immediately fell down her forehead.

The chamberlain knelt motionless, blood falling into his eyes, and he did not dare to reach out to wipe it away.

"Check! Check it carefully! I don't believe it, how can these people not reveal any clues!"

Princess Xiushan walked in slowly: "Sister-in-law, why are you so angry? Is there any need to investigate this matter?"

Concubine Ruan glanced at her and said angrily: "What are you doing here?"

Princess Xiushan sat down opposite Concubine Ruan, straightened her clothes and said with a smile: "Ruan Yunqing, are you still acting like this now?"

"You have to know that the emperor's brother has passed away, or in such a situation, what will happen to the second brother and my sixth brother?" "I am kind enough to help you, but you treat me so coldly, Ruan Yunqing, You have lived in the palace for so many years, and you still don’t know what the pros and cons are!”

Concubine Ruan somewhat lost her temper and forced a smile and said, "I don't know. The eldest princess is here to help our mother and son. Why don't you tell me what you think?"

Seeing that she was no longer as pretentious as before, Princess Xiushan finally felt a little more comfortable, and then slowly said: "Now, we are all on the territory of Eucommia ulmoides, and the King of Wei is too junior, so I'm afraid he won't be able to summon him." Those old veterans might as well use the Du family's methods to clean them up first, so that the young people will not get in the way!"

"After the situation stabilizes, I will naturally tell the world that His Majesty has appointed King Wei as the crown prince, so that all forces will recognize this great cause, and do not give the King of Hejian and others the opportunity to add insult to injury!"

When Concubine Ruan heard this, there was a bit of hesitation on her face: "But if Eucommia ulmoides takes the opportunity to grow bigger, and the tail will not fall off in the future, what should we do?"

Princess Xiushan was disdainful in her heart. This idiot was not very capable but very ambitious. If it weren't for the old man's son who was easier to control, she really didn't want to cooperate with this mother and son. They would compete with each other stupidly.

Princess Xiushan covered her mouth with a smile and said, "My dear, are you thinking too far ahead?"

"Let's not talk about the fact that we are now one family with the Du family. Let's talk about the future. If Du Zhong has bad thoughts, will our King Wei be at the mercy of others?"

"It's just a temporary measure. When the matter is settled in the future, we can use our hands to accuse the Du family of being disrespectful and regain control of the court!"

Concubine Ruan's face softened slightly and she said seriously to Princess Xiushan: "In this case, I will have a serious discussion with Eucommia ulmoides!"

Suddenly he asked suspiciously: "Why are you so kind?"

Princess Xiushan sneered: "We have been sister-in-law for many years, but you don't know what kind of person I am?"

"It's all just because my nephew can ascend the throne smoothly and let me live a stable life for another two years!"

Concubine Ruan Guifei felt at ease now, and she said that this woman would not be so attentive for no reason.

Princess Xiushan left the palace and went all the way to the Jing family's house.

After hearing the arrival of Princess Xiushan, Jing Bo'an was still lying in the room without moving. Jing Song, on the other hand, hurriedly tidied up, changed clothes, and hurried over after getting everything done.

But seeing Princess Xiushan go straight to Jing Boan's room, a trace of peace and a little jealousy flashed through her eyes.

Princess Xiushan covered her nose and entered Jing Boan's room. Looking at everything dirty and messy in the room, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

Jing Bo'an saw her coming, but he didn't get up and still slept with his back to the door.

Princess Xiushan was not angry and said slowly: "I came here to tell you that King Wei is currently short of men and wants to form his own force. You have led troops before, so you might as well go to his guest. , let’s see if we can find an official position!”

After Princess Xiushan finished speaking, seeing that Jing Boan was still unmoved, she snorted coldly and turned to leave.

But I heard Jing Bo'an say from behind: "Why did you come to help me?"

Princess Xiushan said without turning her head: "You think I am willing to help you? It's just for Yufan's sake. I don't want people to see you as a coward as a father, so I gave you a hand. Can you go?" You make your own decision, there is only so much I can help you with!"

A thing that cannot be held up by mud would have followed such a coward if it hadn't been for some mistake at the beginning.

As soon as she left Jing Boan's room, Princess Xiushan saw Jing Song standing there timidly: "Your Highness!"
