Chapter 253 Shupin Died
At the same time, the cavalry general's residence was also bustling with activity.
The prince unexpectedly visited the cavalry general's mansion.
Because as Lu Xingwan said, Lu Jinyao and Han Xiyue are a match made in heaven, and they are the most suitable people for each other.
In the past, Song Qingyan often reminded the Crown Prince that relationships need to be maintained, and due to the Han family's status, they naturally cannot often enter the palace to meet the Crown Prince.
Therefore, the prince needs to take the initiative and visit the Han Mansion more often in the past, even if he does not meet the young lady from the Han family.
It can also let outsiders know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about this Miss Han.
Firstly, the prince is not the kind of person who cares about such romantic matters, and secondly, he has been really busy with state affairs recently and cannot get away.
I had originally forgotten about this matter, but at the second princess's wedding banquet today, someone mentioned the prince's wedding.
Only then did he remember his aunt's instructions, and when he left the Taifu Mansion, he decided to go to the General of the Cavalry's Mansion.
Upon learning that the Crown Prince was coming, the family, who had just returned home, were busy preparing their attire and going to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Unexpectedly, the prince's pace was very fast. When they arrived at the front hall, the prince was already standing in the courtyard.
The whole family hurried forward to pay their respects to the prince.
The prince hurried forward and helped the cavalry general in front of him up: "General Han, please don't be polite. I am just passing by and came here specially..."
The prince paused for a moment, and said with a hint of discomfort: "I came here to see Miss Han."
When the prince said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled in understanding.
Han Xiyue blushed even more.
The prince has always been a pragmatic person and never cared about these romantic matters. Now that he is like this, I am afraid that there is someone behind him directing him.
The prince was also a little embarrassed. He looked at Han Xishi and tried to divert everyone's attention: "When is the wedding date of Mr. Han and Miss Shen set?"
"In reply to your Highness," Han Xishi stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "It will be scheduled for the end of this month."
Han Xishi really liked the eldest daughter of the Shen family, so he was looking forward to marrying her.
If the second princess hadn't gotten married before, the marriage would have been arranged long ago.
This was delayed for more than a month because of the second princess's marriage.
As if he could see the anxiety in Han Xishi's tone, even the prince couldn't help but joked: "Don't worry, Master Han, you will be able to bring the beauty home soon."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the cavalry general in front of him: "General Han, please don't take Lord Shen's matter to heart."
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much," General Han waved his arm nonchalantly, "I have known Lord Shen for many years and know his character best. He is definitely not a greedy person."
"What's more, if he was corrupt, wouldn't it be laughable for a minister of the Ministry of Personnel to sell official positions and titles for only 500 taels of silver?"
Just after hearing what the prince said, General Han felt relieved.
I thought that His Majesty and the Crown Prince might be suspicious of Lord Shen, but it turns out that the Crown Prince trusts him so much that he even speaks up to mediate on his behalf.
The prince smiled when he heard General Han's words. This was a truth known to everyone in the world, and his father would not be unaware of it.
However, the Third Prince was the only one who couldn't see through it.
Or maybe they don't care about it at all and just want to gain power.
As long as the goal is achieved, they don't care what the process is like.
The prince stayed in the General's mansion for a long time and chatted with the father and son for a long time. When it was almost sunset, he took his leave.
During this period, Han Xiyue and her mother stayed in the front hall. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said that he came to see Han Xiyue, so he couldn't leave early.
Mrs. Han discovered that after the prince's visit, Han Xiyue's steps became much lighter.
I couldn't help but tease her: "My daughter has grown up, has her own concerns, and wants to get married."
Han Xiyue shyly pushed her mother and said coquettishly, "Mother!"
Mrs. Han didn't say anything more, but just looked at Han Xiyue, her eyes full of relief.
It is Xiyue's happiness to have a husband like the prince.
A few days after the second princess got married, a major event occurred in the palace: Concubine Shu died.
When the news reached Qingyun Palace, Song Qingyan was stunned. If anyone could be found in the entire harem who hated Shupin the most, Song Qingyan was the only one.
After all, Shupin was also involved in the murder of Song Qingya.
But before he could take any action, Shupin died.
And what a coincidence that the time was chosen two days after the second princess got married.
The problem is, the second princess hasn't returned yet!
To be honest, Song Qingyan no longer had any hatred towards Shupin in her heart. Her sister had been dead for so many years, and hating these people would only make herself feel bad.
Why bother?
[Shupin is dead? 】
Besides Song Qingyan, Lu Xingwan was also shocked.
[But in the storybook, Shupin was given the title of Shufei. ]
[I thought house arrest was the biggest punishment in her life, but she died? Just died like that? ]
[Isn't this too different from the story in the novel? ]
Shupin died at the hands of the Empress.
As the saying goes, it is important for a person to know himself, but this Concubine Shu has always been stupid.
The reason why His Majesty initially disliked her was because she took the initiative to propose marrying the Second Princess to a foreign prince, which made the Emperor of Great Chu suspicious of her intentions.
Later he was put under house arrest because he offended Song Qingyan.
Now he has unfortunately died because he has offended the Queen.
After analyzing it layer by layer, Lu Xingwan sighed.
[Shupin really has been offending people all her life. ]
[That’s good now. There’s another motherless seventh princess who needs someone to take care of her. ]
[Come to think of it, the Seventh Princess seems to be only three years older than me, and now she is less than four years old, she is also a pitiful child. ]
[But I don’t know how her mother raised her. After all, Lu Xinghui did all the bad things when she was only five years old.]
Shupin was poisoned to death by the Empress.
After the Empress visited Shupin that day, Shupin thought she had a chance of escaping, and she was looking forward to it with joy for several days.
But she didn't expect that the final outcome was that His Majesty wouldn't even let her leave the palace, and she had to stay in the palace and watch Xingxue get married.
After Xingxue left the palace, Shupin felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. The empress had clearly promised her, but now she had made her situation even worse.
She was filled with resentment, so she asked her maid to deliver a message to the Jinxiu Palace, asking to see the empress.
Shen Ning did want to win over Shupin, after all, Shupin was a smart person.
So I went to Zhuhua Palace in person.
But she didn't expect that although Shupin had no ability, she had great ambitions.
He even threatened Shen Ning, saying that if she did not help him leave Zhuhua Palace, he would complain to the emperor, saying that the queen was conspiring with him to murder the imperial concubine.
Shupin even said, "I think Your Majesty also knows that His Majesty is very partial to Song Qingyan."
