Chapter 336: Ignore you or not, it's over
At night, many people were unable to close their eyes. In the East Palace, Ji You walked around in the study room with anxious eyes.
Hearing the voice of greetings coming from outside, he hurried out.
Xiao Lingyu's eyes were red, and she was telling the maid something, and the maid's face was full of shock.
Seeing this scene, Ji You's hanging heart finally died.
The news he got, now it seems, is all true.
Xiao Lingyu also saw him out of the corner of her eye. He quickly said a few words to the maid, then turned and walked towards Ji You.
The two entered the house tacitly, and as soon as they closed the door, Xiao Lingyu said directly: "Mother, I'm leaving."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Ji You still trembled when he heard this sentence, and he held the corner of the table to barely stand up.
It's not that he was sad for the queen, but now that the queen was gone, Xiao Lingyu's position as the crown prince was even less secure!
Xiao Lingyu also knew what he was worried about, and before he could ask, he gave him a reassurance: "Father told me personally that the position of the crown prince is still mine."
The four words "no big mistake" were directly omitted by him.
Xiao Lingyu himself knew that if he said these four words, it would not be a reassurance.
Ji You's pale face eased a lot because of his words, and he was in the mood to ask for details.
Xiao Lingyu told him everything about the palace banquet, and then said, "I suspect that there is another hidden reason behind my mother's death."
The palace has always been heavily guarded, and even because of the palace banquet, there is no reason for a thief to sneak in.
Moreover, the thief, in addition to stealing the body of my mother, did not kill anyone, which is obviously not in line with common sense.
In addition to the emperor's tone...
Xiao Lingyu actually had a vague guess in his heart, but that guess was too terrifying, so he subconsciously wanted to ignore it.
"The emperor does not want to investigate this matter because he is worried that it will spread and damage the dignity of the royal family," Ji You analyzed, "but the medicine given by Prince Yu is quite strange."
"Why did the queen die of poison when everyone at the palace banquet drank alcohol, while the others were fine?"
"This is what I want to ask."
Xiao Lingyu said in a cold tone.
If he had any feelings for the queen, it was the strongest when he was a child, but as he grew older, it has now disappeared.
From the beginning to the end, the queen has only regarded him as a tool to fight for the throne.
The admiration he had for her in his childhood, now, is just to repay her for her upbringing over the years.
As long as her body is found and the cause of death is found out, the two of them will be even.
Xiao Lingyu thought so.
They were entangled with the queen and how to consolidate the position of the prince, while the others were discussing going to war. Since
the prince and princess of Nangong had done such a thing, there would be no peace between the two countries.
This was equivalent to being ridden on and defeated, and even a weak emperor could not swallow this.
The war must be fought, so the question is, who will lead the army?
Xiao Siyuan had quietly taken advantage of the Wala incident before, and the princes all learned a lesson. They secretly mobilized their spies in the palace to inquire about it, and at the same time discussed with their staff how to let the emperor hand the matter over to them.
Xiao Siyuan is no longer a threat in the eyes of the public.
The battle against Wala was so easy, the emperor would only hand these to him if he was out of his mind.
As for Xiao Mingye, his father disliked him so much that he exiled him for many years without paying any attention to him. After the palace banquet is over, he will definitely return to his own fiefdom and will no longer be in the scope of competition.
Now, only Xiao Chuji and Xiao Yanli are left to compete.
...
Jiang Zhaorong was also unable to sleep. Since returning to the mansion, he has broken several teacups.
Taohong wanted to avoid it, but the contraceptive medicine has not yet exerted its full effect. If Jiang Zhaorong becomes suspicious of her because of this, it will be bad.
Thinking of this, Taohong could only stay with him and let the maid take the child away. She said softly, "What's wrong with you, husband? Why are you so angry?"
Jiang Zhaorong allowed her to call him this during their tender and sweet time.
Jiang Zhaorong paused and wanted to say it was nothing, but then he thought that he really needed to vent, so he said, "I'm worried about Shi Wei."
Song Shi Wei.
Taohong's fingers curled slightly: "Shi Wei is now deeply loved by the Queen Mother. What is your husband worried about her doing?"
"You don't understand," Jiang Zhaorong said coldly: "At the palace banquet today, Prince Yu wanted to rebel, and the Queen Mother was also involved!"
Taohong: "!!!"
Rebellion? !
Taohong looked at him in disbelief.
"If Shi Wei had not been involved, she might have been able to keep her life. If she was involved, it would be a capital crime!"
If Song Shiwei died, the clues to the treasure of the previous dynasty would be cut off. All the preparations he had made over the years, including severing ties with his own children for her, would be in vain!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaorong became
so anxious that he wanted to smash a few more sets of teacups. His anxious expression, in Taohong's eyes, became evidence of his concern for Song Shiwei's safety.
Taohong looked at him in disbelief.
Only now did she truly understand how Xu Youran felt at the time.
Treason, what a serious crime!
If Song Shiwei was really involved in this, let alone her, even they would not be spared!
This is a serious crime that would punish the entire nine clans!
Even if she was an adopted daughter, everyone in Shengjing knew how Jiang Zhaorong treated Song Shiwei in the past. Now he didn't want to cut off his relationship with her, but
he was still worried about her safety? ! What about me and the child? Were they not worth his worry at all?
How despicable!
Taohong couldn't help cursing in her heart.
At first, she saw Jiang Zhaorong's attitude towards Song Shiwei change in the past few days at the mansion, and thought that he was reminded by the divorce. Now it seems that it is nothing!
She scolded Jiang Zhaorong in her heart, but she had to coax him carefully on the surface: "Husband, if she is really involved in this, we must first find a way to sever our relationship with her. After all, treason is a serious crime that will punish the entire family. We must not be involved."
Jiang Zhaorong waved his hand impatiently: "I know, but Shiwei can't die. Doesn't she have some connection with the Sixth Prince? I will go to the Sixth Prince's mansion tomorrow and ask him in person."
Taohong: "???"
You know? You know what, you know, she didn't even listen to a word of what she just said!
You said you wanted to cut off the relationship, but you still have to go to the Sixth Prince's mansion to ask in person!
The Sixth Prince is definitely smarter than you, you'll see if he pays attention to you!
Tao Hong took a few deep breaths, and once again felt lucky that she listened to Jiang Zhiyu's advice and gave Jiang Zhaorong contraceptives.
Jiang Zhaorong could do this for an adopted daughter, what would happen if someone else gave him another one in the future? !
Wait, adopted daughter? !
