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

Chapter 177
For Zhuhua, it doesn't matter who the real culprit is in the end, maybe the truth will disappear after King Ping presents it to the Holy Majesty.With Geng Jieqing around, he could always find out something.This is the famous Geng Jieqing in history. Modern TV series about him include "Geng Jieqing", "Detective Geng Jieqing" and "Young Geng Jieqing". He seems to have written a book related to solving crimes, which has become a must-read for future generations of officials at all levels. books.With such a talented person around, Zhuhua wasn't worried about the case.What she was worried about was that if there was such a truth, would its follow-up affect the peaceful life in Prince Ping's Mansion.

As soon as Yang Chengjian left, she winked at King Ping and pulled him to a corner amidst everyone's curious eyes.

"Who do you entrust to investigate the case, he is in this line of work, he is better than you. You must remember not to get into any trouble." Zhuhua said.

King Ping smiled lightly, pursed his lips, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you worried about other things?"

"what?"

"I was once engaged to a girl from the Geng family."

Zhuhua looked at him with black lines all over her head. She really forgot about it, but she couldn't care about it at the moment, complaining: "Why, you still remember that this matter won't work, and Geng Erlang again It's not a woman, even if it is a woman, if you can think about it, I will admire your courage. You have the heart to think about these things, and you don't worry about other things after thinking about it. Forget it, you can check yours."

"No, am I worried that you will be annoyed?" Prince Ping pulled her and said in a good voice.

"Go, go." Zhuhua brushed his hand away, and seeing that he had lost a lot of weight these days because of keeping the spirit, she sighed to herself, "Can we go out of the palace? When it comes to grandma, I don’t know how the government arranges it.”

"Don't worry, you can leave right away." King Ping comforted.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Geng Jieqing came out and announced that the princes of each family could go home, but they had to take turns to continue the vigil during the fourteen days after the coffin was suspended.The princes of each family were relieved after hearing this, and immediately arranged the days of vigil according to their age.On the way out of the East Palace, King Ping and Zhuhua walked behind, they looked at the people in front and glanced at each other.Except for Ji Wang who is really a suspect in front of this, of course there is another one behind.

King Qin followed behind them and looked at them thoughtfully.Zhuhua felt the gaze, but she didn't turn her head to look. There were many people staring at them now, and it wouldn't be surprising if there was one more.When she got into the carriage, she held King Ping's hand and leaned on his shoulder a little tiredly.

"Are you tired these days?"

"We don't have many things to do, but we have nowhere to sleep. We just sit and squint for a while every day. But it's nothing compared to you who have been kneeling there for seven days. Your knees hurt. Do you want to go home? Get some medicine?"

"Fortunately, everyone will change clothes and walk around for a while, but they are so hungry that they secretly drank saliva in the first three days."

Funeral rituals were extremely strict in ancient times, and the prince was their elder brother, so they had to abide by some etiquette.When the Empress Dowager passed away, they also kept it like this. After that, they ate vegetarian food for forty days, and did not eat any meat until the funeral day.Even so, not everyone is guarding it. There are a few princes who are used to enjoying themselves, how can they bear the pain, and there are those who are always weak like the king of Chu, who will break the precept quietly.This matter was tacit among them, and no one would stab the Holy Majesty.

"You still have to run around for the prince's affairs in the future. I don't think you should observe this ceremony after you return to the mansion."

"It's okay. I have eaten the vegetarian porridge in the mansion before, and it tastes good." The porridge in the palace is really white porridge with nothing added, and it is so thin that there are only a few grains of rice. They can only get one bowl each time. Not at all full after drinking.

After hearing this, Zhuhua gave him a slight twist, and said, "It's all right, what should be guarded is still guarded."

King Ping nodded, and the two talked softly. After returning to the mansion, they saw Zi Shu just after entering the mansion.

"Master is taking care of Miss Zhen. I told you to go wash up after you come back to get rid of bad luck before going there."

"Yes, Mrs. Wu Guo is really more careful." Zhuhua teased.

Zishu smiled and went back to Wu Yinggong, Zhuhua and King Heping also went to clean up before going to Minghui Courtyard.Minghui Courtyard is a courtyard prepared for Tuantuan to live in when he grows up.Zhuhua learned from her subordinates that shortly after the two entered the palace, Lord Wu Guogong came suddenly, and brought her to live in the Minghui Courtyard in the mansion for seven days.In the past seven days, a commander of the imperial guards brought a team of people to search the mansion with tokens, and even came twice.Wu Guogong didn't stop her either, just stayed in the room playing with Tuantuan in her arms.

The servants in the mansion knew that the same thing happened in Ji Wang's mansion next door, and they were all worried.They knew that the prince passed away due to illness, and it was rumored that there might be hidden secrets in the sudden death of the prince. Coupled with the fact that someone came to search, they wondered whether this hidden secret might be related to various palaces.Although they felt that their prince would not be involved in this matter, he was a good target to take the blame. If someone took advantage of the search to blame Prince Ping's mansion, they would have nothing to say.Fortunately, a heroine Wu came to the mansion, and they were not afraid at once. After King Ping and Princess Ping returned to the mansion, their respect for Princess Ping increased.Sure enough, if something happened in the mansion, Prince Ping alone was not enough, Princess Ping had to go out and find someone.

Seeing that the two of them just lost weight when they came back, Wu Guogong didn't show any uneasiness, and felt relieved.

She put Tuantuan on the bed and said in a low voice, "Tuantuan just fell asleep, so I won't say much. Just relax, it's going to take a long time."

Zhuhua nodded, stepped forward to look at Tuantuan, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Tuantuan should be very happy these few days, and Mrs. Wu is always by her side."

"I'm still happy during the day." Wu Guogong sighed, told the two of them, and took the master back in a mighty way.

Tuantuan has been quite obedient during the day these days, but at night he makes a fuss and refuses to sleep, and Qiudong's coaxing is useless.Obviously, Tuantuan had been sleeping in the cubicle before, and Qiudong was in charge of taking care of him.But usually until midnight, when she gets tired, she goes to sleep.

Originally, she hadn't been weaned yet, and Zhuhua had interrupted her before she was one year old, but now that she was weaned, she didn't plan to let her drink anymore.There are milk-producing goats in the mansion. Mrs. Wu Guo thinks the milk smells fishy, ​​so she bought a cow a few days ago. These days, Tuantuan's daily meals are to drink their milk and supplementary food.

Zhuhua touched her little face, took off her shoes and got on the couch to accompany her, King Ping also took off his shoes and slept on the other side of the ball, watching Zhuhua guarding his daughter.

After a while, Zhuhua raised her eyes to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you also think there is another reason for the prince's illness?"

King Ping nodded and said, "Everyone thinks so."

"What if he really died of illness?"

"Even if it is found out that this is the case, no one will believe it. But the world will think that the prince died of a sudden illness. The outside world has been saying that the prince has been ill for a long time. It is just that the palace is secret and no one is outside. It is said that."

Zhuhua sighed, stepped forward to hold King Ping's hand, and said: "Since you have got this job, no matter what the result is, I'm afraid you won't be able to please it. Anyway, you can investigate according to your own wishes. "

After Zhuhua returned to the palace and knew what had happened in the past seven days, her previous uneasiness disappeared. No matter what, she was protected by Duke Wu, and she would not be easily dragged into trouble.

King Ping nodded, looked at her with a smile, and said, "I will investigate the case carefully and give my father a satisfactory result."

"We still have our own little days to live."

"Yes, I just like the little days now."

After that day, King Ping started a life of going out early and returning late.Although Zhuhua was worried for a while, he was afraid that Geng Jieqing, who worked with him, would make things bad for King Ping by remembering his sister's hatred. Later, thinking about it, King Ping didn't do anything wrong to his sister, and he didn't have to bear any grudges. Besides, some people said that Ji The relationship between Wang and Geng Jieqing is good. Since this is the case, Geng Jieqing and Wang Ping should also get along well.Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. Without teammates holding you back, this matter can always proceed smoothly.

But I didn’t expect that five days later, King Ping brought a child home. Zhuhua heard the news from Qiu Chu, and stood curiously at the gate of the courtyard with wide eyes, watching King Ping walking over with a child. Sharp, one can tell at a glance that this is the prince's concubine, not his illegitimate son outside as others worry about.

"Let's go back to the house." King Ping carried the silent child into the main courtyard. After all the servants had left, he pulled Zhuhua aside and explained in a low voice: "This is the prince's concubine Yuantai. Someone is watching him. His sister ate it by mistake and died. The emperor told him to let him live in our house for a few days, but someone had to send him into the palace to kneel every day. I left this matter to Xiao Lin. "

Zhuhua nodded, stepped forward to look at the pale-faced and silent child sitting on the couch, this child looked very much like a prince.I have to say that Yang Chengjian's princes all look very similar to him, except for Prince Ping, who are sunny and resolute.Even the sickly king of Chu had somewhat similar facial features to Yang Chengjian. King Ping's facial features looked similar only to his ears, and the rest might resemble his biological mother.A child who resembled Yang Chengjian probably wouldn't be too conspicuous when he was young, but fortunately he was born fairer than the folk children, and wearing clothes made of high-quality materials, he looked a bit soft and cute.

Zhuhua always liked well-behaved children, seeing that he was silent and his eyes were red and swollen from crying, she stepped forward and asked nicely, "Is your name Taier? Are you hungry, do you want something to eat?"

When Yuan Tai heard Zhuhua's voice, he raised his head and looked at her warily, then shook his head slightly, and looked at King Ping questioningly.

All kinds of banquets in the palace will only let the concubines of each family bring their sons and daughters. This son Zhuhua only met after the prince's death, but he didn't recognize her.

"This is your Aunt Pingwang, you can also be called Aunt Qihuang."

Yuan Tai nodded, jumped down from the couch, saluted Zhuhua, and said, "My nephew has met my aunt."

"You don't need to be restrained, there are not so many rules in Prince Ping's mansion." Zhuhua quickly helped him up and said, "You are hungry, there is also vegetable porridge in the mansion, you and your uncle Seventh Prince can only eat vegetarian food, I am afraid that you will have to eat vegetables and porridge. I have wronged you."

Yuan Tai shook his head and said, "It is right for the father to be a vegetarian."

Zhuhua nodded in relief, and hurriedly asked for vegetable porridge to come in.
