Red makeup against the world

Chapter 796 Escape
"Your Highness, please remember what you promised today. If you break your promise, I will turn into a ghost to collect debts from you."

The poison works quickly.Fu stared at the prince steadfastly, he died of anger, and fell on the table.

The prince felt very uncomfortable when she looked at him like this.It was too unlucky to close her eyes.Only after taking back the sapphire porcelain bottle from her hand and putting it back into her bosom, did she raise her voice, "Come here! The Crown Princess has fainted."

The maid who was guarding outside entered the room in horror, not understanding why the princess was fine a moment ago, but she fell into a coma in the blink of an eye?
That night, Jingli was very restless.

First, the imperial hospital sent several imperial physicians to the prince's mansion one after another, and the successive diagnoses all pointed to the same fact: the princess Fu had a sudden heart palpitation and passed away.

Officials from the Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Rites arrived one after another.The crown princess is not only the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan, but also a commanding wife with a royal order.Her funeral has its own set of procedures.

Overnight, the prince's mansion was completely empty, the eldest grandson of the emperor who was about to get married cried so hard that the prince was also mournful.

Since there is a funeral going on, there are inevitably more people entering and leaving the Prince's Mansion than usual.When encountering such a thing, the Shenwu Army can't be unreasonable, and anyone who comes to express condolences can enter the mansion.

The Crown Princess' natal family came to express their condolences, and they had no other guesses about the sudden and unknown death of the Crown Princess.But who dares to question the prince?
Taking advantage of the chaos, the prince met Lin Xingchao again.Asked to understand some details, and agreed on a specific time.

He wrote a memorial and handed it to the palace, and first reported his crimes.Finally, after he asked to send the princess away for burial, he asked to see the emperor, not to ask for forgiveness, but to see his father in good health with his own eyes, so that he could be at ease and keep his wife filial piety.

Emperor Qinglong frowned upon receiving the crown prince's memorial.After all, he was the son he loved the most in the past. If he made a mistake and died as the princess, it would be considered a bad time.

The Shaoqing of the Clan's Mansion who was standing on the side observed his words, and said again and again: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is guilty, but that is between the monarch and his ministers." After saying this sentence, he kept silent.

The implication is that Emperor Qinglong and the Crown Prince also have a father-son relationship besides the monarch and ministers.He accepted a big gift from the prince, the prince just wanted to see the emperor, this is not an excessive request, he can help to intercede.

Emperor Qinglong was silent for a while, and said: "How many days until the Crown Princess is buried?"

"Qin Tianjian checked the date and set it in three days." According to the rank of the princess, she will be buried in the royal cemetery - Tailing.

"Okay, let him come to see me in three days."

The funeral of the Crown Princess is arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette, and these trivial details must not be bothered by the Crown Prince.

……

Chu Palace, the backyard.

Concubine Chu was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, with all the changes in the capital in recent days at hand.The manpower that Princess Zhaoyang left behind for her was very capable, and the information she found was reliable and rare.

She picked out the recent news about the Prince's Mansion, read it back and forth several times, and finally confirmed her inner guess.

"My lord, please come."

After hearing her analysis, King Chu was not surprised. "He has been pushed into the corner, and there are also some people who jump over the wall in a hurry. But I haven't figured out how he wants to make a move."

"Anyway, the Crown Princess didn't die of a heart attack, there must be something strange behind it." Princess Chu's voice was sweet and charming.

"I'm going to tell my elder brother to be more careful."

King Qi frowned when he received the news.The prince is like that centipede that is dead but not stiff, he has been on guard all the time, but he doesn't know how the prince will make moves.

After much deliberation, he personally went to the Beiya and told Wu Sheng to be careful of the palace ban, lest something might happen.

The atmosphere in Beijing is like the calm before the storm. The forces from all sides are intertwined, lurking in the dark waiting to show their fangs.

……

Hebei Road, at the foot of Mount Wutai.

Xu Wanzhen's illness came and went quickly.But she pretended to be sick for a few days, and today she finally found a chance to inject drugs into a well in the courtyard.

In order to reduce contact with others, the yard is some distance away from all sides.In order to be self-sufficient, he also dug a well in the courtyard, but Xu Wanzhen is now at a disadvantage.

She just sat by the well, and no one was wary that she would have drug in hand.

The woman drew water from the well for dinner, and the two men who left early and returned late also returned to the yard.Xu Wanzhen excused herself from being unwell and didn't want to eat for the time being, so she went back to bed and lay down.

There was another woman in the room staring at her, waiting for the people outside to finish eating before someone came in to replace her.

She guided the little flame to warm her whole body, and listened attentively to the movement outside.Those people have always been silent and quiet when eating, but there will always be the sound of chewing and the clashing of bowls and chopsticks.But this time was different, after only half an hour, it fell silent.

Go to sleep, have a good sleep.

Xu Wanzhen said: "I want to go to the toilet." She has extraordinary hearing ability, so she can hear that everyone outside has passed out.But the meal didn't last long, and the woman didn't know it.

The woman didn't suspect him, so she helped her to the clean room and waited outside.When she was relieved, Xu Wanzhen picked up the toilet lid and hid it at the door of the clean room.There was an exclamation of "Huh" in his mouth.

The woman hurriedly lifted the curtain to see, when she showed her head, Xu Wanzhen hit her on the back of the neck with the toilet lid.Caught off guard, she fell in response.

Xu Wanzhen was not at ease, so she hurriedly untied her belt, tied her hands and feet behind her back, and tied a tight knot.The other end was tied to the pillar in the room, so that even if she woke up, she would not be able to escape in time.

Taking a deep breath, she put on a thick cloak to keep out the cold, and pushed open the door.Sure enough, I saw that several people who were eating were sleeping at the dining table, and the medicine my uncle had prepared was really effective.

If she had time, she would hide them all.But no one knows when the other party will send someone, and she must leave quickly.

Taking off the embroidered shoes on her feet, she put on a woman's coarse hemp boots.As uncomfortable as this is, boots like these can go a long way.

They searched the waist of one of the men, and sure enough, they found a money pouch, which contained a lot of copper coins and broken silver.

Put on the hood of the cloak to cover the face.Xu Wanzhen has not forgotten how ugly and terrifying the mask on her face is.

It was still light, but night fell quickly in the mountains.She had to take advantage of the time when she could still see the road and run as far as she could.

There was drug in the dinner, so she dared not eat it.I picked up a few leftover steamed buns from the morning, put them into a bamboo basket, covered them with a coarse cloth, and pushed the door out of the yard.Her current attire is no doubt that of a country woman.

During the past few days of pretending to be sick, she had already figured out the escape route.

This place is far away from the state city, and you can't walk very far with your legs.If the other party discovers that she has escaped and starts to search, she will be an extremely conspicuous target on such a country road.

She raised her legs and walked up the mountain. Although Wutai Mountain is high, she will be safe as long as she enters the temple.The future is uncertain, but she has to try, she doesn't want to make herself a hostage to threaten Wu Zhengxiang.
