Chapter 155 No Poison, No Man
He also made himself and Fu Guang the witnesses of his killing of the wizard from Southern Xinjiang. Su Yan was really good at scheming. Xuanyuan Jing's eyes became deeper.
"As soon as the story of the Southern Border wizard was exposed, this prince and the Chen family also began searching for his whereabouts. After this prince and his wife discovered that the prince had been murdered, we suspected that the Southern Border wizard would flee Xuanyuan, so we immediately chased him to the city gate. We did indeed see Lord Su killing the Southern Border wizard, but this prince was curious. This was because this prince and his wife came to the prince's mansion with Lord Chen, and only then did we guess that the Southern Border wizard was going to escape. I wonder how Lord Su knew that the Southern Border wizard would go to the city gate."
Su Yan's expression remained unchanged as he answered calmly.
"I have also been following the clues step by step to this point. After the Yunke Ferry incident, I realized that the Southern Border wizard may have already infiltrated the Imperial City. Therefore, I secretly arranged to monitor all suspicious individuals. Last night, I received a secret report that someone with suspicious behavior was seen in the suburbs. I immediately led my troops there and, as expected, ran into the Southern Border wizard who was about to flee at the city gate. This indirectly avenged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince had been packed up and placed in the coffin. The queen fainted from crying. Xiao Fuguang took out a pill and gave it to her to take. He pinched her philtrum, and she slowly woke up.
Seeing her so sad, Lord Chen helped her speak since she was his own daughter.
"My queen, please take care of yourself."
Then he lowered his voice.
"My queen, you have to cheer up. What about the baby in Pan'er's belly?"
The queen was shocked. Pan'er was pregnant?
"Father, what did you say?"
Master Chen continued to lower his voice.
"My queen, I know you are heartbroken after losing your son, but your grandson is still waiting for you to raise and teach him. You must cheer up."
The queen was in disbelief when she heard this. Could it be that her father saw that she was too sad and was using this excuse to comfort her?
"Father, you can't lie to me!"
Lord Chen spoke hurriedly.
"When has your father ever lied to you since you were a child? If you don't believe me, you can ask the princess. Pan'er had a miscarriage, and it was the princess who saved the child."
Upon hearing this, the queen hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face.
"I have a grandson now, and Che'er has an heir."
Then he bowed deeply to Xiao Fuguang.
"Princess Regent, thank you so much!"
Xiao Fuguang quickly supported her.
"Your Majesty, there are so many people here, so please deal with the Crown Prince's funeral first."
At this moment, a mournful cry was heard from outside.
“Royal brother…”
This was Prince Rong's voice. The Queen hurriedly wiped her tears, and Xiao Fuguang nodded to the Queen.
The queen let Xiao Fuguang help her sit aside.
Prince Rong came in and went straight to the coffin. When he saw the prince in the coffin, a smile flashed in his eyes, but quickly disappeared. He then leaned on the coffin and cried.
"Royal brother, why did you die so tragically?"
"The wizards in Southern Xinjiang really deserve to die."
"Since you fell ill, we two brothers haven't had a good time together. Why did you leave like this?"
“Royal brother…”
When the queen saw this, her eyes were cold and she was showing false sympathy.
Soon, officials from the Ministry of Rites also came to deal with the prince's funeral. The prince's concubine Zhong and the prince's daughter knelt in front of the mourning hall in mourning clothes and burned paper.
The fifth prince also put down his work and came to the Crown Prince's Mansion to pay his respects. There was a hint of sadness on his face. His eyes slowly swept across the mourning hall, finally stopping on the Queen and Prince Rong. A subtle complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
The fifth prince walked forward slowly, first bowed to the queen, and then remained silent for a moment in front of the coffin to express his condolences.
He whispered to the queen.
"Mother, please accept my condolences and take care of yourself. If you need anything from me, please let me know."
Prince Rong on the side glanced at him.
"The Fifth Prince is quite proactive in coming."
Xuanyuan Su spoke after hearing this.
"My brother, the Crown Prince, has passed away suddenly. As a subordinate, I naturally have to come and see him off. As a prince, I should also accompany my mother."
In the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace.
After so many things happened in one night, Xiao Fuguang felt tired and leaned against the wall of the carriage.
"After killing the Southern Border wizard, Su Yan's official position will probably be promoted to a higher level."
Xuanyuan Jing reached out and helped her lean against his arms.
"This matter is obvious to all. Even if the emperor doesn't give him a promotion, Prince Rong and his party will push him up."
"My brother has ordered that the court not be held for three days to mourn the crown prince. I am afraid that once the court is held, Su Yan's position will be raised."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang reached out and touched his forehead.
"This Gu Chuan is really hard to kill."
Xuanyuan Jing pondered for a moment.
"It is indeed difficult to kill him. I sent Wen Ying to assassinate him before. He has many experts around him, and Prince Rong attaches great importance to him."
Xiao Fuguang looked up at Xuanyuan Jing.
"Did you have someone assassinate Su Yan?"
Xuanyuan Jing nodded.
"When he escaped from the Regent's Palace last time, I asked Wen Ying to go to the Su Mansion. There are many people in the mansion who are protecting him openly and secretly. He is just a fourth-rank official. It is impossible for him to be so quick. With so many masters, it can only be arranged by Prince Rong."
Xiao Fuguang leaned on Xuanyuan Jing's shoulder.
"Prince Rong, these two are really a nest of snakes and rats."
Xuanyuan Jing pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Su Yan is now the sharpest knife to Prince Rong. Clear all obstacles for him. He will naturally protect Su Yan."
Looking at Xiao Fuguang's dark circles, Xuanyuan Jing hugged her directly.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. You've been running around all night. Take a rest. I'll call you when we get to the mansion."
After running around all night, Xiao Fuguang was already sleepy. He relaxed and leaned in Xuanyuan Jing's arms with his eyes closed to rest.
Listening to her even breathing, Xuanyuan Jing raised his hand and gently stroked the hair by her ear, his expression becoming gentle.
The anger in the carriage seemed to mellow, and Xuanyuan Jing lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
He looked at her with longing in his eyes.
Until the carriage stopped.
Jiang Yuan stood outside the carriage and spoke respectfully.
"Prince, Princess, we're here."
Xingyue was about to speak when she saw Xuanyuan Jing carrying Xiao Fuguang out of the carriage.
Xuanyuan Jing glanced at her, and Xingyue quickly shut up.
Jiang Yuan took out a ladder, and Xuanyuan Jing carried Xiao Fuguang out of the carriage and walked towards the mansion.
Xingyue spoke in a low voice.
"The princess is asleep!"
Jiang Yuan looked at the two's backs and spoke with envy.
"The prince and princess have such a good relationship."
Xingyue glanced at him, sighed, and spoke helplessly.
"Alas, I'm tired after following the princess all night. Thinking about delivering medicine and food to Liu Yue, I feel even more tired."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuan quickly spoke with a smile on his face.
"Miss Xingyue, I'm not tired. I'll go get Liuyue some food."
As he said this, he walked towards the mansion.
"I'll go check on Miss Liu Yue's medicine and see if it's ready."
Now that someone is taking care of it, I can rest assured. I hope these two can achieve success, otherwise Liu Yue will have a serious face all day long.
Sun's house.
The servant spoke to Sun Hao anxiously.
"Boss, our store has been losing money these days. We haven't had any customers in the past two days. If this continues, we'll have to close down."
After hearing this, Sun Hao slapped the table.
"What a Han Susu! I really underestimated her."
After being silent for a moment, Sun Hao closed his eyes.
"Pour oil on the path for the young lady's daily walk."
