Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 239 The Prince's End

His eyes widened, the prince couldn't believe what he heard was true.

"You, you poisonous woman!"

"I'm a poisonous woman!" Zheng laughed, looking at the crown prince without any fear, "Yes, I'm a poisonous woman! Don't you know? How many evil things have our siblings done for you these years, You have no idea?! You want me to do this and that, how can I not become a poisonous woman?!"

The prince's complexion changed, and he suddenly remembered something, looking at Zheng, his complexion turned warm, "My concubine, I said something wrong in a hurry, but she is a beauty, and she died of illness, and that child is also unlucky, why? I just fell into the lotus pond! Aifei must have done her best, it’s all my fault, how can I blame Aifei you!"

Gentle and kind, the crown prince looked at Zheng with a look of infinite love, but Zheng couldn't help sneering: "Don't you feel guilty for saying that?! She's just a beauty, but that's what you have in mind, didn't you say I'm waiting for you to become emperor?" , are you going to make her queen?"

"How can there be?!" The prince retorted immediately, but the embarrassing expression on his face betrayed his thoughts.

When the bed brother is happy, it is common to say this kind of thing.

Staring at the prince, his eyes seemed to spew fire, Zheng sneered: "Isn't that poor-fated child the prince's fate? Isn't he born like you, is he the right one?! But it turns out that drowning is also in vain..."

The crown prince also had an ugly expression on his face, he suppressed his hatred, and pretended to be gentle and considerate, "My concubine, what are you talking about? You and I are one, we share wealth and wealth through adversity..."

"It's true to share adversity and share wealth?!" Zheng Shi sneered, but regardless of the crown prince's obstruction, she took a step forward and said loudly: "Master Bai, don't you want to ask the crown prince's criminal evidence? Which one, which one? I'll answer you!"

"Zheng's..." Hissed loudly, the prince was also really angry.

His eyes were red, he completely forgot that this was in the lobby of Dali Temple, he jumped over and grabbed Zheng Shi's neck, "Bitch! Kill me—you hurt me..."

Not to mention Bai Di in the hall, even those guards didn't expect the prince to lose his composure so much, and they didn't jump over to stop the prince immediately.

When Bai Di reacted and asked the guards to step forward and pull the prince away, Mrs. Zheng was pinched almost to death.

Bai Di hurriedly called a doctor for treatment, and after a while, Zheng Shi was relieved.

Staring at the crown prince coldly, Mrs. Zheng panted, and cursed bitterly: "An unfaithful and unrighteous person like you is in vain for the crown prince! I have said long ago that if you betray me, I will drag you down even if I die." Die together..."

The absurd drama in the Dali Temple was still spread.

Who would have thought that the prince and his wife, who used to be aloof, would fight like ordinary people.All of a sudden, the royal family, which had always been revered and feared by the people, was dyed with other colors, and it seemed that it changed overnight.

"Fortunately, there is Prince Rui!"

I don't know who said this first, but gradually, this word became the most frequently mentioned in the capital.

Often a group of people gather together, talking about the prince's evil deeds, and then someone sighs: "Fortunately, there is Prince Rui!"

Yes, fortunately there is Prince Rui, and the benevolent, filial and loyal Prince Rui.

Because of the sudden testimony of the former Crown Princess Zheng, some unproven charges of the previous Crown Prince were thus confirmed.

The emperor issued an edict to the world, enumerating the twelve major crimes of the prince, imprisoning the prince in a newly built mansion, and not leaving the mansion half a step for life, let alone seeing the sky for the rest of his life.

"A rebellious son is not filial, even if I die in a hundred years, I don't have to send him off."

It is said that these are the emperor's original words, but it is just a gossip spread in the teahouse, no one dares to say that it must be true.

The crown princess, Zheng, was dismissed by the royal family because she proved that the crown prince violated women's morality. After being demoted of all titles, she was sent to the nunnery behind the city.

Although women cannot be restrained from remarrying now, who would dare to marry the daughter-in-law abandoned by the royal family?Mrs. Zheng must be spending the rest of her life with Qing Deng Ku Buddha.

I don't know if it was because he couldn't bear the suffering, or because of other reasons, Mrs. Zheng hanged herself the next day after being sent to the nunnery.

When Gu Sixiao heard the news, she sighed, but Su Jingchun said coldly: "Hang yourself?! Only ordinary people will believe it."

To prove the prince, is it possible to atone for sins by being dismissed?Although the royal family is tolerant on the surface, such a woman cannot be tolerated behind the scenes.

Even if the crown prince is deposed, imprisoned, unfaithful and unrighteous, he is still the blood of the royal family and cannot tolerate half of his betrayal.

The prince was imprisoned because the emperor was tolerant and cared about the relationship between father and son, but other people who followed the prince to plot trouble were not so lucky.

Even some officials who did not conspire with the prince that day, but had close contacts with each other, were dismissed in large numbers. In just a few days, Dali Temple had dozens of people imprisoned. The prison was so overcrowded that there was not even a single empty cell. .

With the downfall of the prince, the officials and civilians who were victimized by the prince before were rehabilitated one by one.

General Li Zhen was awarded General Yi posthumously.Because his wife remarried and had no heirs, only one daughter.

The emperor pitied him for living among the people since he was a child and suffered so much, so he granted him a pardon and granted him the title of Liupin Anren.

Whether it is a command or a pardon, it is generally given to the wives and mothers of officials. Like Gu Sixiao, who was given a title because of his deceased father and has not yet married, it is really the first since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.

But compared to this reward, Gu Sixiao was more happy to see the notice posted in front of Dali Temple.

"The culprit in the Songjiang case was someone else. Gu Liubai was wronged and died. Today, I hereby make an announcement to tell the world, who is the real culprit..."

Although it was just a testimonial for the deceased, and there was no compensation other than that, Gu Sixiao was still inexplicably excited.

"Did you see it? Jingchun, you saw it! My elder brother has finally cleared up his grievances! He is not a murderer, no—Qi Guan'er will never be called the son of a murderer again..."

Bought another notice from Dali Temple, Gu Sixiao carefully kept the notice and asked Su Jingchun to send it to Muyang.

I don't know if my sister-in-law already knows the good news.She really wanted to send this announcement to Muyang herself, and wanted to tell her sister-in-law that her eldest brother was finally innocent.

It's just that the matter in Beijing has not been completely settled, and she can't leave for the time being.

The crown prince was imprisoned, and at this moment, no one dared to get close to the crown prince.

But Prince Rui did the opposite, he was not afraid of the emperor's suspicion, and sent the prince a lot of fine wines and delicacies, whatever was rare, whatever was expensive, besides these, he also sent dozens of beauties.

"Brother is imprisoned, he must be depressed. Although what he did was wrong, he is my brother and brother. I will not plead for him, and I am not ashamed of his deeds, but I still hope to do my best. , to make him more comfortable."

If this is the case, why bother to say it calmly, even the Emperor feels that Prince Rui is really benevolent and righteous, even at this time, he still cares about the brotherhood.

It was Su Jingchun who sent Meiji into the mansion.

This is an errand that he asked Prince Rui to do, Gu Sixiao knew what he wanted to do, and specifically begged him to take her with him.

That day, Gu Sixiao pretended to be a servant and followed Su Jingchun.

This is not the first time she has seen the prince, but the prince in front of her is really not the same person she has seen before.

I think it was too depressing, the prince who used to be slightly fat has lost a lot of weight now.

There is a worried look in the eyebrows and eyes, but it is difficult to hide the hostility.

Seeing Su Jingchun, he sneered and said, "Come to visit my rebellious brother for my good brother?! Su Jingchun, you are really loyal, and you are willing to do any kind of work for him! You are not afraid of my death, Your Majesty." Want your life!?"

"You're joking, I'm just here to give wine and beauties, how could you both die?"

The words were respectful, but Su Jingchun's eyes could not conceal the coldness.

He poured a glass of wine with a smile, and he drank it all in one gulp, "You see, this wine is really just good wine!"

"That's right, my younger brother is a smart man, he didn't dare to poison me to death all at once!"

The prince laughed loudly, but said: "But it's not uncommon for a person to get drunk every day and indulge in sensuality, and die early—he's giving me chronic poison!"

"You really know how to joke!" Su Jingchun smiled lightly, as if the crown prince was really joking.

But in fact, they all know that these wines and these beauties are for this purpose?
This is clearly to harm the prince, but no one else can say anything else.And the prince, knowing that these things are harmful to his body, but being imprisoned in this small world, can he really bear it and not drink or touch those beauties? !

"Actually, I came here to give you these gifts, but I also want to ask you—are you so angry that you are dying? Are you so angry? You really feel that there is nothing to love in life, and life is meaningless!"

He was still very gentle just now, but suddenly he asked such a sentence, even the prince couldn't help jumping up in anger.

"Bold! Su Jingchun, how dare you do this—someone!"

The prince yelled loudly, but no one answered at all.

"No matter how loud you shout, no one will answer." Su Jingchun smiled and said lightly: "You are not a prince now, but a prisoner! You will be locked up in this courtyard for the rest of your life, a prisoner who can't go anywhere!"

Staring at the prince, he smiled coldly: "Prince?! Yes, maybe it would be happier to live in your own dream all your life! Your Highness, when you killed my mother, did you ever think that one day you would Is life worse than death!?"

Finally broke out, Su Jingchun glared at the prince with hatred, not concealing his hatred.

Facing Su Jingchun's gaze, the prince was in a daze, as if he had thought for a long time before remembering what Su Jingchun was talking about.

"Ha, you mean that——Su Jingchun, you should also thank your mother! If she hadn't died in Prince Rui's residence, Prince Rui wouldn't have trusted you so much and valued you—everything about you today is due to your mother. In exchange for my dear death!"

Subconsciously holding the sword at his waist, Su Jingchun looked at him coldly, as if he would kill him with a sword in the next moment.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, a hand covered his.
