Chapter 663: Taking poison?
This time he used so much force that he even made the corner of Lu Xinghui's mouth bleed.
Lu Xinghui covered his cheek and looked at Lu Jinrong in front of him with disbelief, as if waiting for him to apologize to him.
The fifth prince looked at her angrily: "If Third Brother were here, if Third Brother were here, I'm afraid you would be dead by now!"
After saying this, Lu Jinrong suddenly felt his heart dead, but he thought of a solution.
Thinking that he had been shunned by his father and would soon spend the rest of his life in another courtyard, he suddenly felt his heart filled with pain and despair.
It would be really boring if I were to live in this villa with Lu Xinghui in the future.
This sudden feeling of powerlessness made him think of committing suicide.
Lu Jinrong has always been a ruthless person who does what he says. A few days later, news came from Changqiu Palace that the fifth prince and the sixth princess had committed suicide by taking poison in the palace.
Upon hearing the news, Song Qingyan, who was learning embroidery in the palace, stood up suddenly and knocked over the tea on the table. The boiling tea splashed on herself, but she seemed to be unaware of it.
Jinyu hurried forward to help her clean up.
"Suicide by taking poison?"
She was extremely surprised. She never thought that the two brothers and sisters would make such a decision. You know, in this palace, suicide is a serious crime.
Besides, there’s an old saying that it’s better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
Although His Majesty reprimanded them, he also promised to send them to live in another courtyard, so why should they...
Even Lu Xingwan, who thought he was very experienced, was stunned.
[In the storybook, the impetuous Lu Xinghui actually committed suicide by taking poison? ]
【How could he bear to do that? 】
She still felt a little sad when she thought about Lu Xinghui, who had grown up with her quarreling, lying coldly in Changqiu Palace.
He let out a long sigh.
"Mother, forget it. This is their fate."
It can also be regarded as atonement for the wrong things he did in the past. Many people died at the hands of Lu Jinrong and Lu Xinghui, and even more people died in the entire Changqiu Palace.
"Come to think of it, there is no one in the entire Changqiu Palace now."
This year, the entire palace was dull.
Because of these messy things, the entire harem was in chaos. Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen again in Changqiu Palace.
Everyone in the palace who knew the situation knew why the fifth prince and the sixth princess died, but they could not announce it to the outside world, so they had to say that they died in an accident in Changqiu Palace.
In order to make things more realistic, the Emperor of Chu even ordered the workers to burn down a corner of the Changchun Palace. After all, this was a scandal in the palace and it would not be good if it spread out.
After dealing with these matters, the Emperor of Great Chu began to check one by one the palace maids on the list that the fifth prince had previously handed over to the crown prince.
We need to deal with these people.
Only after actually dealing with these people did the Emperor of Great Chu sigh in his heart at Cui Wen's methods. He never thought that the harem could be controlled by him to such an extent.
From Yu's study to the laundry room, there were his people everywhere, even Song Qingyan's Qingyun Palace was not spared.
Looking at the densely packed list in his hand, the Emperor of Great Chu suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted that he was too kind to Changqiu Palace.
He was totally unaware that Cui Wen was capable of such a feat.
And how much help did Concubine De have during this period? He never knew.
No wonder the person in the story ended up like this. If it weren’t for Wanwan, I would never have discovered Cui Wen’s sinister plot.
At this point, he even felt that the treatment of the Third Prince, who was being detained in the clan residence, was too lenient. Everyone in the Changqiu Palace should go to hell with Cui Wen.
But he was unwilling to start a war again. Anyway, he had already been imprisoned in the clan affairs office and there would be no way out for the rest of his life.
However, Lu Xingwan had no time to take care of these things during this period. She didn't even follow Song Qingyan back to Dingguo Marquis Mansion to visit relatives. Compared to that, she had more important things to do now.
But anyway, my mother wasn't going back to visit relatives, so there wasn't anything else particularly important.
After the hurried New Year passed, my second elder brother had received the order from our father and rushed back from the border.
Of course, Wei Cheng also came back with him.
Lu Xingwan was actually looking forward to it. With Wei Cheng's return, his marriage to Sister Jinyu could be put on the agenda.
The Emperor of Great Chu left Xia Ning in Yuefeng Kingdom, wanting him to take care of all matters in Yuefeng Kingdom while the Second Prince and others were back in the court.
Today, under the governance of the two of them, Yuefeng Kingdom has been able to maintain its peace and tranquility, all thanks to the military suppression by the people of the Western Camp.
Otherwise, the people from Yuefeng Country were still ready to make some moves.
Before the Second Prince and others arrived in the capital, the Emperor of Great Chu specially asked someone to invite Song Qingyan and Lu Xingwan to the Longsheng Palace.
[Mother, it seems that since I came here, father rarely lets us eat in Longsheng Palace.]
[Why did you call us over today for the first time? ]
[I always feel a little uneasy! ]
Song Qingyan smiled, touched Lu Xingwan's hair, and didn't say much.
You are still uneasy. Why are you uneasy? You are fearless, yet you are uneasy.
But it was indeed abnormal. In the past, if His Majesty wanted to dine with a concubine, most of the time he would go directly to the harem.
Longsheng Palace is actually the place where Your Majesty eats alone.
Even Song Qingyan was going there for the first time.
When the mother and daughter entered the hall, a young eunuch beside them had already respectfully invited them in. The Emperor of Great Chu, who was handling government affairs at the time, also raised his head and looked at them.
Then he quickly stepped forward and held Wanwan in his arms.
He smiled and looked at Song Qingyan beside him: "Wanwan is growing faster and faster now. If another year or so passes, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold her."
[Why does Father seem so unlike someone who has lost two children? ]
【Father, don’t you feel sad for them?】
[But come to think of it, if I had a child like this, I would be so angry that I would die, and I wouldn't have the time to care about sadness! ]
【You see, this is the consequence of meeting the wrong person. 】
[Father must have thought that Concubine De was a good match for him in the past, right? When I came here just now, Father liked Concubine De very much! ]
[Have you seen through her true face now? ]
Lu Xingwan stretched out his hand and fiddled with the beard of the Great Chu Emperor, while thinking about these things in his heart.
But naturally, most of them were ridicules of the emperor.
Song Qingyan listened to Lu Xingwan's inner thoughts and coughed awkwardly.
Listening to Wanwan's teasing of the Emperor of Chu, it seemed as if time had gone back to more than a year ago.
There weren't so many messy things in the palace at that time, but looking at it now, things have really changed.
