Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 176 The Prince
When everyone is here, the banquet will begin immediately.In fact, the Laba porridge is the most unpalatable of all kinds of annual gatherings in Zhuhua’s opinion. Whether you like it or not, you must eat a bowl of the Laba porridge given by the emperor. This bowl is nothing if you eat other things Appetite.The Laba porridge in the palace is very sweet, and I don't know if it's because of Yang Chengjian's sweet taste, which made her want to have a bowl of braised noodles when she returned home.

While Zhuhua was struggling with the Laba porridge in front of her, a servant rushed in and whispered something to Eunuch Yongfu. Eunuch Yongfu’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately reported it to Yang Chengjian. The prince looked over inquiringly.When Yang Chengjian put down the bowl, they also put down the bowl together.

What's wrong?Zhuhua thought curiously, put the bowl away, stepped back nervously and sat behind King Ping's back, and looked up curiously.

Yang Chengjian looked at the faces of the people below, and finally settled on the face of the Crown Princess.

"You go back first." He said.

The crown princess seemed to be a little puzzled, her eyes widened, but she quickly calmed down and responded.

"I still have some things to deal with, you all wait here." After the crown princess left, Yang Chengjian left the side hall with Yongfu's support, and the door of the side hall was closed immediately.

"Did the prince's illness change?" Zhuhua asked King Ping in a low voice.

King Ping frowned slightly, and finally shook his head ignorantly, stretched out his hand to hold Zhuhua's hand and said, "Father has his own decision, let's just wait with peace of mind."

"I don't know how long it will take, Tuantuan should be hungry."

"It just happened to let her wean off the milk."

Zhuhua gave him a blank look, ignored him, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat other dishes, probably no one else was in the mood to finish the porridge at the moment, she just left the porridge like everyone else.Although she guessed that it was because of the prince's illness, the concubine's coming to the palace today meant that the prince's illness was not serious.

After an unknown period of time, the food on the table became cold, and no one came in to speak.The adults could still hold on, but the children felt bored. They had always been favored in the mansion. Although they knew that the atmosphere at this moment should not offend their father, they boldly left their seats and ran in the hall without seeing their father scolding them. Come and run to play.The three geese of Princess Ji's family couldn't sit still anymore, and when they heard other children running, they asked the nurse to carry her around, but the nurse didn't dare, so she started crying.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhuhua stood up, went up to tease Sange, and moved her stiff body by the way.She is glad that she didn't bring the child into the palace at the moment, especially when the future is uncertain.She is not afraid that something will happen to Tuantuan in the mansion, Yang Chengjian's action should not be hidden for a long time, if Mrs. Wu knew that Tuantuan was alone in the palace, she would definitely protect her.

Although a group of people got up and moved around in the hall, they didn't say anything, and there was a lot of eye contact.Zhuhua looked at them from the sidelines and was exhausted for them. Whether they could speak with their mouths, as if they could read their minds, could they really understand the meaning in each other's eyes?Ji Wang and Ping Wang didn't speak, they just patted him on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.

Ji Wang himself wasn't afraid at all, and he didn't do anything wrong.After staying in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a long time, he understands that the more calm he has to be in this kind of time, if he is in a hurry, he seems to have done something, which will cause others to arrest the wrong person.Because of this, he caught and missed many people.

In the evening, the door of the palace finally opened, and the guards and maids came in, all dressed in plain clothes.There are not many reasons for the court ladies and eunuchs to wear plain clothes. The people in the palace immediately thought of one of the reasons they had just guessed, but...it was too sudden.It wasn’t until Eunuch Yongfu asked them to change into plain clothes to mourn the prince, that they came back to their senses, and found that Eunuch Yongfu also sent someone to follow them besides asking them to put on mourning clothes to go to the Crown Prince’s womb. their every move.

Zhuhua also jokingly thought about the prince's illness and death, but...she was still a little dazed.She knew that the prince would not succeed to the throne. How did that period of history say...it seemed to say who would succeed the prince. As for who and when the original prince died, was it written in the textbook?This is really when the book is used, I hate the lack of it, but I only hate that there is nowhere to hug the Buddha's feet.

After everyone changed their clothes, they went to the uterus.Funeral decorations have been put on in the Tai's uterus and a mourning hall has been set up. Many relevant officials who arrived before them are all buried in their work and dare not look at them.In the mourning hall, the princess had already knelt there, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her son was kneeling next to her.The nine-year-old great grandson Yuan Heng was usually a little defiant when he was in the palace, and he was always very impatient when his younger cousins ​​came to play with him.But now, he was crying so much that he was not as arrogant as before.Kneeling behind him is the seven-year-old son Yuan Tai, born to the prince's side concubine Xiao, and his five-year-old sister, and behind him is a six-year-old girl, born to the prince Liangdi.

Seeing that there was no side concubine Xiao who was rumored to be favored by the prince, Zhuhua still wondered why she didn't come when it was so important, but all the other women of the prince came, crying more and more miserably.After the incense is finished, the princes have to stay in the mourning hall to keep watch, as do the older children in their family, and the princesses don't have to stay with them all the time.They finally went to the yard to get some air, and the few families they had made friends with even secretly said a few words.Zhuhua couldn't understand them like this, but she had nothing to say to Princess Ji, so she could only take a walk in the Tai's womb by changing clothes.This walk also let her hear that side concubine Xiao passed out when she heard the sad news of the prince's death, and she still hasn't woken up till now.

Zhuhua didn't comment much on the grief of others, she just thought about the future of the crown prince's womb, and she also felt that the crown prince's women wanted to faint.Although these princesses don't have to keep watch, they can't go home, and they have to take turns to go to the mourning hall to see if there is anything they can help.At night, they could only stay overnight in the uterus, but they said they were staying overnight but they were not given a room, they were only allowed to sit in the side hall, and their children were sent to the room.Everyone has their own concerns, and there is no comfortable bed, so they can only sit and squint for a while at night.In the middle of the night, there was a noise in the womb of the crown prince, everyone woke up immediately, and sent their maids to inquire. The maids came back and said that Concubine Xiao had hanged herself to death.

"Hang yourself?" Zhuhua frowned slightly, seeing that everyone in the hall seemed to have doubts, but Princess Ji sighed with emotion.

She had seen this side concubine Xiao before, at the flower appreciation banquet in the palace where Yinhua also attended, the crown prince treated her very well these years, even because she didn't give the crown princess a good face, fortunately she was gentle, The Crown Princess is also generous, and the two seem to have never had any disputes.Now that the crown prince passed away, Concubine Xiao left with her husband. She valued love and righteousness, and she was considered a rare woman in the world.

Unlike Concubine Ji's thoughts, Zhuhua felt that it was really incomprehensible that Concubine Xiao would commit suicide by abandoning her children.She was raised by her mother in her previous life, and her mother sent her and her younger brother to college with her salary. In Zhuhua's view, this is a good mother and a good woman. She asked herself whether she would sacrifice herself to this extent for the sake of her children, but she was willing. Make sacrifices for your mother, to repay her for the life she has devoted to her children.

Like her, there are many people who can't figure out Xiao Concubine Xiao's suicide. They are not like Zhuhua who can't figure it out and just let it go. If these mysteries can't be solved, they may not have a peaceful life. Doubts don't dissipate anymore.

Because it was already the end of the year, in order not to offend the god of the year, the prince only stayed for 21 days before he was buried. On the seventh day, Zhuhua and others finally saw Yang Chengjian again.He seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and Yu Guoyu's family lost the prince, which made him sad.The prince is the only son left to him by the former empress. He would be more critical of the prince before, but it was just to balance the forces of all parties in the court.The prince understands this, and so does Uncle Zhang Guo.It's just that I didn't expect such a thing to happen, the prince who was always healthy would die of illness?He didn't believe it would be so simple.

Seven days after the crown prince passed away, Yang Chengjian summoned his remaining sons and their mother, concubine and concubine in the side hall of the crown prince's palace.Geng Jieqing appeared with him in the side hall, everyone knew what Yang Chengjian meant when they saw him.

"There are still doubts about the death of the prince. I have specially summoned Geng Qing to take full charge of this matter." After speaking, Yang Chengjian paused, and his eyes swept over the faces of the sons below, and finally fell on the face of King Ji. superior.

King Ji couldn't help panicking. Although he likes to investigate cases, this kind of case is the last thing he wants to investigate.If he had known this earlier, he had secretly handed over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice last time, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find someone to report it to him. Father would not really think that he is a master detective, would he?

Obviously Yang Chengjian didn't think so.

"Ping Wang, you and Geng Qing will investigate together." Yang Chengjian turned his eyes and finally looked at Ping Wang.

King Ping was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and immediately lowered them, knelt down and said: "Your servant takes orders."

What order to take, Zhuhua watched anxiously from the side.Of course, my relatives have passed away, if they can help solve the mystery of his death, they should indeed stand up.The problem is, King Ping does not have this ability, he has no roots and no foundation, and he is not suitable for wading in this muddy water.The other princes in the hall also thought the same, and immediately understood the Holy Majesty's intention in choosing King Ping. Only King Ji was anxious to say something, but King Ping grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Concubine Shu looked at the back and raised her heart. Seeing that King Ji didn't say anything, she was relieved and left with Yang Chengjian.Yang Chengjian was not in the same generation as the other concubines and the prince in the palace, so it was reasonable that he didn't have to guard the prince's spirit.Even so, these few days they all wore plain clothes and chanted scriptures in their respective palaces, and kept a low profile in everything they did, and everyone in the palace couldn't have a pleasant look, so as not to attract Yang Chengjian's eyes.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Yang Chengjian had given Prince Ping the task of investigating the cause of the prince's death. At least they said that the Holy Majesty did not pay special attention to any of the princes.King Ping is now cleared, and Prince Ji, who has always been close to him, is also half cleared. Even if there are four remaining princes, it is unknown who will be picked out in the end.

　This article still focuses on happy daily life, and this kind of boring plot will be written relatively quickly. As for the results, some of them may have to be understood by everyone.Has anyone understood the previous case of Zhen Guohou's family?
