Chapter 101
Gao Chen was still supporting half of his arm, and one hand was hanging in the air. When she lay down, he slowly placed it on her body.His hard and cold heart became a little soft and sad in this atmosphere, "Xianhui..." He suddenly asked, "If I die, will you be sad?"

sad?sad?Xianhui closed her eyes, but she just felt ridiculous in her heart. After he had done so many things, he still asked himself if he would feel sad for him?I don't have so many hearts to hurt him, if I break one, it will be gone.

I really wanted to say "no" coldly, but in the end, I didn't say anything.

Gao Chen said again: "Or, you are expecting me to die in your heart."

"That's not going to happen." Xianhui answered with eyes open, mockingly said: "Even if you live, even if you ignore me for 100 years, even if you take a hundred concubines, I will still be Princess Jing. Unless you don't want me to be Princess Jing, otherwise, as long as I stay in this position for one day, I will hope you live one more day."

Otherwise, make yourself a little widow?It will only be worse than it is now.

Gao Chen didn't think it was pestering, but smiled instead.

Xianhui didn't think her words were interesting, so she didn't want to talk to him, and turned her back.

"Come here." Gao Chen stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, without moving, he just hugged her like that, like holding a baby in the snow to keep warm in winter.

Xian Hui hated him like this, but she had no way to refuse, so she could only suppress her silence.

Gao Chen felt the little thing in his arms, his body was stiff, and he couldn't bear to let go after hugging it for a while.He turned around empty-handedly, savoring the loneliness by himself, and then couldn't fall asleep because of his thoughts drifting all night.

Early the next morning, Emperor Qing was furious when he heard the news of Princess Xiaohe's death.

The majestic princess of a country, the proud daughter of heaven, ended up being trampled to death by some ants!However, there is a truth in this world that the law does not blame the public.It was very chaotic last night, it was dark, and there were so many people. I don't know who went to Shouning Street, and who caused the trouble. We can't arrest all the people watching the lanterns, can we?Even if the prisons in the capital are full, they won't be able to hold them.

Emperor Qing was very depressed, so there was no way to deal with it anymore.

After Wan Guiren heard the news, he fainted from crying.

In order to appease Wan Gui who lost his beloved daughter, Emperor Qing specially elevated her to the title of Concubine Wan.If it wasn't for taking into account the mistakes made by Xiaohe before, taking into account the empress, Gao Chen, Gao Dun and others, the status would be even higher.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Wan was still crying after waking up, her eyes were red and swollen, she choked up and said, "It's all right, why did those blessing lamps break? Someone must be playing tricks! Someone is trying to harm Xiaohe!" Suddenly his face turned cold, " That's right! It's...it's Shao Xianhui! It must be her!"

The emperor had also thought about this doubt——could the fourth daughter-in-law send someone to make trouble for the blessing lamp?Xiaohe's previous actions were indeed wrong, and she should hate Xiaohe in her heart, but... If the matter of the blessing lamp is what she said, it would be too cruel and vicious.

Concubine Wan burst into tears and said, "What else is she thinking? Xiaohe has already become a monk and cannot remarry. Isn't it enough for a lonely person to spend his remaining life? He even wanted to kill her! Even death...wouldn't be given to her. Leave a whole body behind." Weeping sobbing unspeakably, "My daughter, my poor Xiaohe."

"Okay." The emperor scolded: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence." However, when he left Shunde Palace and returned, his face was gloomy for a while, and he called the eunuch and said: "The matter in Shouning Street is one thing." If you have any news, come back to me!"

After checking and checking, I finally found a hawker selling lanterns nearby.

Upon inspection, they were all made by cutting corners and materials, and the bamboo skeleton was unbelievably slender. No wonder the lanterns fell from mid-air after flying halfway through!However, they continued to search for the person who sent the bamboo skeleton, but there was no whereabouts.According to the peddler, because the business was so good a few days ago, many people bought the blessing lamps that were made. I was afraid that the blessing lamps would not be sold enough at [-] nights, and it was too late to make more skeletons, so I bought them on the street. Some cheap skeletons.

I don't know who the other party is or where he lives, but I only remember that he is a thin old man.

How does this make the people of Dali Temple find them?Man Jingcheng looking for a little old man?It's simply impossible.

The guards of the Princess Mansion were brought into the palace and reported to Emperor Qing in detail.

"The scene was chaotic at that time, and there were too many people fleeing in panic. It was impossible to stop it. But..." The leader of the guards who replied trembled and swallowed. However, we suffered some collisions, but a guard suddenly chopped down the people, and the people were injured, and some people called Xiao and the princess' guards to kill people, which made the people vent their anger on the princess."

"Which guard did it?!" Emperor Qing said angrily.

The head of the guard replied: "I didn't pay attention to the chaos at the time. Later, when we confronted each other, we found that the guard who shouted and stabbed people was not our person at all. I don't know where he came from."

Emperor Qing's face was extremely gloomy.

That is to say, someone pretended to be a guard of the princess mansion and hacked and wounded the common people, deliberately making the common people trample on Xiaohe? !All of this is clearly a conspiracy!First, someone intentionally bought the hawker's lanterns, then sold the skeletons cheaply, creating the incident that the blessing lantern fell and caught fire, and then pretended to be a guard, directing the anger of the people to Xiaohe and causing her to be trampled to death!

who is it?Who is so vicious!
It's a pity that these are the only useful clues. The person selling the skeleton of the blessing lamp can't be found, and the person pretending to be a guard can't be found either.Apart from beheading two guards and punishing the remaining guards, Emperor Qing had no other way to dispel his anger and avenge his daughter!

Although there was no evidence, but based on intuition, Emperor Qing felt that this tragedy had something to do with Prince Jing's residence, and that Shao Xianhui could no longer stay in the capital.But there is no reason to let the fourth child divorce her. If she wants to leave, the fourth child has to leave the capital, that's all, that's all, the fourth child will have to leave the capital sooner or later.

— No more delay.

The matter that Emperor Qing had endured for a long time was finally put on the agenda, and that was—to let Prince Jing Gao Chen become a vassal!But before that, the most urgent thing is to let him hand over his military power, otherwise, if a vassal king with hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hand goes to fiefdom, it will not be a vassal, but will deliberately split half of the country.

Things went smoothly, Gao Chen handed over most of the military power in his hands without any objection, leaving only a personal guard.

After returning to the palace, he laughed at himself and said, "Sooner or later, it will end like this."

I can't help but feel a little sad, my father has no evidence at all to believe that he was responsible for the case of the blessing lamp, but he still puts the blame on himself.Standing in my position, no matter what I do, my father will be suspicious and worried. No matter what I do, I will not be able to escape the end of handing over power and staying away from the capital.

In the end, it is death.

Father-son relationship?There is no such thing as royal.

Ning Yuxi raised the corners of her mouth, "Master Shen and the others planned the time very cleverly for this memorial, and it was just in time. It must have been a lot of hard work here." Slowly poured a cup of tea for Gao Chen, and He also poured a glass, "Presumably for the sake of face and to appease the prince, the emperor has to stop for a while before letting the prince take over."

It was not good to let his son hand over the military power, and he was so anxious that he wanted to drive him away, and his eating was too ugly.

Besides, for the emperor, a son without military power is like an eagle whose wings have been cut off. If he can't fly, he will naturally not be as anxious as before, and he is happy to show his father's kindness and filial piety.

"That's right." Gao Chen put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Let Lord Shen and the others continue to grasp the time well, and when my father asked me to become a feudal clan, it can't be early or late, it must be just right."

Ning Yuxi replied sternly: "Yes, I definitely dare not make any mistakes."

Because it was the first lunar month, and Princess Xiaohe passed away early, so her funeral was not grand, and she was buried in the Princess Mausoleum after a formality.It is also impossible to hang white for a princess in the palace. Even the Shunde Palace of Wanbi only set up a mourning hall in the small Buddhist hall to remember her daughter.

The days passed, and soon it was the spring of March.

In the past few months, Gao Chen was drinking and having fun in the palace every day, or going out for a lake tour. The person who accompanied him was not Princess Shao Xianhui, but his wife Ning Yuyao.People in the capital are all talking about Prince Jing's depression since his military power was cut by the emperor, and it is rumored that he will soon go to fiefdom, no wonder he is so depressed.

Xianhui also has a lot of worries about the matter of the feudal clan.

The fief that Gao Chen returned to was probably not Jiangdu, because he was too familiar with it, and there were too many old forces. The emperor, prince and courtiers would not feel at ease.I'm afraid... probably going to a remote place.

I feel a little sad in my heart, in that case, I will be separated from my parents and relatives.

Moreover, thinking of Ning Yuyao, I can't help but think that there may be more Yingying and Yanyan in Prince Jing's mansion in the future, and I will be alone in the future--I will be separated from my husband, and I will have to face a large group of ostentatious concubines. will not be happy.In the days of being upset, there is a piece of gratifying news.

"My lord, the matter of the blessing lamp has made progress!"

"What's the progress?" Xianhui hurriedly said, "Say it quickly, say it quickly."

Nanny Li replied: "The person who sold the inferior bamboo skeleton before has been found." Seeing her face change, she quickly waved her hands, "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the prince." Then she continued: "But what I found is It was a dead body. It had been dead for several days, and it was still on the cemetery. It was reported to the Yamen to find out the identity of the person. Later, the peddler who sold lanterns came to identify the dead body, and confirmed that it was the one who sold inferior lantern stands."

But the matter was not over, after repeated investigations, the prisoner turned out to be a relative of a woman in the Prince's Mansion!And the woman in the Prince's Mansion works in the hands of the Crown Princess. According to the woman, it was the Crown Princess who asked her to participate in the case of the blessing lamp.No matter how various instruments of torture are added to the body, under the torture, it is still the same rhetoric, which is obviously true.

Xian Hui was surprised at first, and then changed her mind, "How did you know such confidential news?" No matter how long Nanny Li's hand was, she couldn't reach Dali Temple.What's more, the first emperor's Empress Wu is dead, and there are not many hidden threads left by Empress Wu, and her power is simply not so great.

Nanny Li lowered her eyes, "This time, Dali Temple will hear the case publicly."

"Open?!" Xianhui's heart turned, and she quickly understood with a sneer.

In other words, Emperor Qing believed that the case of the blessing lamp was designed by himself, so he had to open the trial.When the evidence is conclusive and the case becomes clear, and she, Prince Jing, is conclusively accused of murdering the princess, it's probably not enough to be deposed, and she can only die.

At that time, even Gao Chen will be implicated.

Under Gao Chen's fault, he could only back down and ask himself to leave the capital, and go to a remote feudal land to become a feudal vassal.

—Things have gone beyond the norm.

After these few months, Xian Hui no longer had the anger and grievance she had before, and only had to deal with it calmly.Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Take my cloak, I'm going to the study to talk to the prince."
