Chapter 290 A rift arose
Yuwen Zhao heard the report from his attendant Shen Huai.
The Crown Prince was confirmed dead, and by the time Feng Aoqing arrived, it was too late to save him.
More importantly, Han Lang didn't go down to help immediately.
Yuwen Zhao wasn't surprised by the other things. When he heard Han Lang didn't go to help, he stopped and asked, "Did he just stand by and watch? Or did he not arrive in time?"
Shen Huai replied, "Your Highness, I was standing on the rooftop watching. Mainly because there was no need to help because Feng Huajun had ordered an assassination."
"You mean that although we stopped the people, we also suffered losses?" Yuwen Zhao raised his head.
"Your Highness, it's not just some losses, but heavy losses." Shen Huai told Yuwen Zhao all the situations on the street.
"You sent dozens of people there just to scare her, but you didn't expect that she would kill you. You really underestimated her." Yu Wenzhao was a little surprised.
"Yes, I originally thought that I could just stop her and at most kill a few of the two hidden guards around her. I didn't expect that we couldn't get back." Shen Huai didn't feel any regret. Instead, he felt fortunate because he got to know Feng Aoqing better through this incident.
"I originally thought Zhao Jing's story was just a rumor, but now it seems it might be true. Prince Han once reminded me that she has extraordinary abilities, so I think it's true."
"This time, it must have caused a rift between the two of them."
Yuwen Zhao waved his hand. "They're both so smart, this little thing won't cause any rift between them. But Fenghua Jun must leave Tianyao. It's too scary to have him around the youngest. Although I know the youngest has no desire to fight, my father is still unwilling to change his mind. I'm afraid he's still waiting for him."
He thought that if Feng Huajun suddenly remembered to marry Han Lang one day, then the combination of their identities would only have a huge impact on him, and he would definitely not be able to fight against it.
Yuwen You is now in a state of chaos and is no longer a cause for concern. Yuwen Zhao has already figured out exactly what he is going to do. With Yuwen You's intelligence, he certainly can't think as far or as much as he does.
"Your Highness has been strategizing for many years and has already calculated everything clearly. These years of dormancy have been truly arduous, and now that they are finally bearing fruit, it is truly cause for celebration."
Shen Huai has been following Yuwen Zhao and working in the Ministry of Rites as an eighth-rank official. He is lamenting both Yuwen Zhao and himself.
"As long as you don't get this position, you will never be safe."
"Your Highness will surely succeed."
......
The next morning, Feng Aoqing got up as usual and Han Lang was waiting for her at the door.
When I saw her again, she seemed to be full of energy and back to normal.
After all, this child is just a patient of Feng Aoqing, and she has seen patients die before.
Although she felt sad, Feng Aoqing had the ability to wake up from a good sleep and forget all her worries. If there was a problem that needed to be solved, she would also come up with a solution.
Han Lang asked, "Are you going out today? I'm afraid it's a mess outside."
Feng Aoqing answered without thinking: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying at home and reading."
Han Lang was relieved. He wanted to say something else, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Promise me not to let your imagination run wild. I'll be back with you soon. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you, and we can have a good chat when we get back."
She looked fine, but she was afraid that she was hiding something inside.
The two of them had a few lukewarm words yesterday, and he always felt that they didn't explain it clearly.
He knew that Feng Aoqing was a thoughtful person, and he also knew what Feng Aoqing cared about and what she didn't care about. Not jumping down yesterday was his biggest failure.
He wanted to slap himself in the face. He shouldn't have followed Lao Wu's people, but should have followed Feng Aoqing.
Feng Aoqing said, "Go and take care of your own business. This is a big deal, and I believe you should be involved. Your father and mother will surely be worried and distressed when the emperor's eldest grandson passes away. You should go and accompany him. You don't have to worry about me."
What Feng Aoqing said was true. Someone had just come to invite him, so he waited for Feng Aoqing to stand up and the two of them met before leaving.
In fact, Feng Aoqing didn't sleep much that night. She got up when she heard his voice outside the house.
When we received the news last night, the King and Queen were heartbroken over the loss of their eldest grandson, and the Queen even fainted several times.
In the morning, all the red storefronts in the city were closed, all the colorful sails were furled, and white flags were hung.
Everyone seems to be immersed in grief, but in fact, behind closed doors, there are still many happy people.
The prince refused to let the imperial physician examine the body of the crown prince, insisting that he died of illness.
He knew there must be something wrong, but now was not the time to investigate. Now was the best time for him to act pitiful.
He only knew that no matter whether it was Lao Wu who did it or not, he had to find a way to put the blame on Lao Wu.
But for the past two days, he had to cry bitterly, be heartbroken, and be half dead.
We have to wait until this drama is fully performed before it’s time.
The child cannot be kept in the mansion and has now been sent to Leshou Palace.
Han Lang was almost the last one to arrive, but others were much more active than him.
No one had any objection to the fact that Prince Cheng died of illness.
Because everyone knows that the Crown Prince is ill for ten months a year, and he gets better in the summer. The imperial physician also said secretly that he will not live past five years old.
Only the Crown Princess was crying out, "Someone has murdered my son! Someone has murdered my son!"
In front of the ice coffin, several people failed to hold on.
Finally, Yuwen You stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Jirou, and shouted in a low voice: "Stop it! Stop talking nonsense!"
But Zhou Jirou didn't know where she got the courage from, and pushed him away.
"Ji'er, in your eyes, he's just the crown prince, the bargaining chip for you to secure your position as crown prince! But in my eyes, he's my son! The flesh and blood that fell from my body! If he dies, I die too!"
"Ji'er is my son too! Don't I feel heartbroken? Rou'er, I know you're heartbroken, but now that things have come to this, you have to take care of yourself too! I can't lose Ji'er and you too!"
These words were spoken with deep affection, because the Prime Minister - the father-in-law - had come.
"Dad! Someone killed my Ji'er!" Zhou Jirou threw herself on her father.
Zhou Han was very calm. He glanced at Yuwen You and gave him a look.
"Your Highness, Rou'er is too sad. Don't let her stay here and worry about it. Send her back to the mansion to rest! I've already asked Madam to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion first. With her mother here, I'm afraid she'll be better."
Yuwen You quickly responded, "Father-in-law is right. Come, send the Crown Princess back to the palace first!"
"Your Highness, you will avenge Ji'er, right?" Zhou Jirou asked, grabbing Yuwen You's arm.
"Rou'er, go back and rest first, and be obedient!"
After hearing this, Zhou Jirou stood up straight, seemed to calm down, and got on the carriage obediently.
