Chapter 12 Seeking Help
Wu Chun returned to Yuning Palace.
Jing Lian was surprised to see her own prince getting off the sedan chair. Wu Chun explained the whole story.
Jing Lian supported Wu Chun and said, "It seems that the eldest prince is a good person. But if the third prince knew about it, I'm afraid it would take more time for the prince to explain."
Wu Chun smiled and said, "Shen Sui can still eat me? You are waiting here, so you must have something urgent."
Jing Lian looked around and led Wu Chun into the warehouse of Yuning Palace. In the dark corner, there were several oil paper packages piled together. There was a wooden box next to it. Jing Lian opened it and found some bottles and jars inside.
After counting the days, it has been more than half a month since the last time I communicated with my brother, and these things have been prepared by my brother.
It is said that the King of Nanjiang loves his daughter and often misses his daughter who married far away, so it is not surprising that Nanjiang sent some things. It only took some money to pass the inspection of the palace.
Wuchun nodded, "Close it." Jinglian looked at Wuchun carefully, "Your
Highness, Daliang has clear laws and regulations that do not allow people from Nanjiang to use the technique of harming people here. It is okay to use the technique of harming people with the technique of using ... The girl happened to be standing by the window, the sun illuminating half of her body, and the other half shrouded in shadow. She had a smile on her lips, which should be as bright as spring flowers, but because of the shadow on half of her face, it made people feel a little weird, like a beautiful poisonous snake in the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang. Jinglian opened her mouth in astonishment, "Your Highness..." Wuchun looked at Jinglian deeply, then walked out, away from the window, and the whole person was shrouded in darkness, leaving Jinglian with only his back. After a while, she said lightly: "I'm just teasing you, how dare your Highness harm people in the palace? These are kept for your Highness to heal his injuries." Jinglian was relieved and supported Wuchun back to Fengchun Palace. Along with these things, there was also Wu Lei's reply. Wu Chun sat by the window and read the letter. The letter mentioned the recent situation in Southern Xinjiang, saying that a mineral vein was found in the deep mountains near Liang State, but the mineral vein was not complete and there were traces of mining. It was probably that the Liang people passed through this place and found the minerals, so they smuggled them, which made his father very angry. It was also mentioned that the witch doctor around the Queen of Southern Xinjiang, Yue Zhi, recently discovered a poison that could make pregnant women infertile and pregnant women miscarry. It can be seen that Yue Zhi was very concerned about the issue of offspring, and was always on guard against harm from others. She could even find out the hidden poisons that had not been discovered by the people of Southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid Yue Zhi will have an offspring soon. If a boy is born, I don't know if his status as the prince of Southern Xinjiang will be the same as it is today. At this point, Wu Lei's tone was extremely helpless. Finally, I wish Wu Chun well and hope he will write back frequently. After Wu Chun finished reading the letter, a thunderbolt flashed through his mind. He couldn't sit still and stood up! Jing Lian was startled, "Your Highness, you just sprained your ankle. You should be more careful in your actions." Wu Chun didn't care so much. He just felt that there were scattered pearls strung together in front of him. Liang people smuggled mineral veins, Yue clan was wary of infertile poisons; Dezhou craftsmen made bracelets, and the poison on the bracelets caused Queen Chen to have an abortion... It's too much of a coincidence! Wu Chun thought carefully. She didn't receive these letters from her brother in her previous life. It was probably because she didn't reply in time like in this life, and happened to miss the time when the incident just happened. When communicating with relatives, the most talked about in the letter is the current situation. If she replied late, Wu Lei would not tell her these. If the poison in the bracelet is the same as the poison in southern Xinjiang, and the material used to make the bracelet is related to the smuggled mineral vein, everything can be explained! The toxicity is rare, and the source of the material cannot be found in Daliang. There is no way to convict Concubine Liu, nor is there a way to wash Concubine Liu's crime. The emperor was furious, and he could only blame Concubine Liu, and Concubine Liu should have fallen out of favor. But this is just a guess. Wu Chun calmed down quickly. Jing Lian called out, "Your Highness, Your Highness?" Looking at Jing Lian's face, she couldn't help but think of the scene in her previous life when this girl was shot to death in order to protect her. The blood was splattered all over the ground, and she couldn't tell whether it was maple leaves or blood... Do you want to be free? Do you want to escape from the palace? Almost in an instant, Wu Chun grabbed Jing Lian and said, "Jing Lian, I want to do something, but I don't know how likely I am to succeed. If I win, I may not be able to gain anything, but if I lose, it is very likely that I will be in trouble. I just thought about it and decided to take a gamble. Because everything has to be sacrificed before it can be gained. If I don't risk it, I will never get what I want." Jing Lian was slightly startled, and seeing the prince's firm eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars, she was moved, "What does your prince want to do?" Wu Chun said, "Call a chariot for me. I want to go find King Ze'an and say... he has lost something and I am here to return it." What do you want to do with your prince? I didn't see your prince bring anything when he came back. Jing Lian was puzzled, but said nothing. She just said "yes", and within a moment, she had finished the work. ... Wu Chun sat on the sedan chair, looking at the setting sun in the sky, hoping that the sedan chair could go faster. After all, he didn't know when Concubine Liu would be convicted. If it was too late, it would be useless. Every day was precious! Shen Heng was preparing for dinner. When he heard that Wu Chun was coming to see him, he was puzzled. He checked all the accessories on his body and found nothing was missing. How could Wu Chun come to return something? But he thought again. Their identities were awkward. Wu Chun didn't even have time to avoid suspicion with him not long ago. How could he suddenly come to Huaide Palace to find him in person? It must be an urgent matter. So he put down the jade chopsticks and went to the front hall to meet him in person. After Wu Chun performed the ceremony, she took out a ring from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Heng. "This is the ring that Prince Ze'an just lost. The pattern on it is blurred. I think your Highness often touches it and loves it very much, so I came to return it." She specifically mentioned the pattern, and Shen Heng looked at the pattern on the ring carefully. On it, there was a small word "Important Matter to Discuss" written in ink, and his guess was mostly confirmed. Shen Heng said, "Thank you, Third Prince's Consort."
Just as she was about to continue, Wu Chun cried, "Your Highness, even you have returned to the palace, why is the Third Prince still on duty outside? No one knows, I have been alone in Fengchun Palace these days, how I miss Your Highness! I often cry at night, and can only fall asleep by counting the stars in the sky. During the day, I sit under the flowers and trees in a trance, sitting for most of the day. I can't sleep or eat. You are the King of Ze'an, can you take me to see His Highness?"
The Third Prince's wife cried very sadly, without the dignity of a prince's wife. I think she missed the Third Prince too much.
The servants all lowered their heads.
This is the master's private matter, it's not easy to intervene.
Perhaps Prince Ze'an also felt that it was not decent enough, so he waved his hand and said, "You all leave first, I'll talk to my sister-in-law."
After the servants left, Wu Chun stopped crying immediately. Shen Heng was amused by her tears that came and went freely, "Princess Third Prince, is there any urgent matter that I must help you with? Tell me, I can help you as much as I can. It's not really that... Do you want to see my third brother?"
Wu Chun took out the letter from Wu Lei and handed it to Shen Heng. "No. It's true that I did it on purpose, but Princess Shen Ying is also my playmate. Even if it was unintentional, I have heard some news. This is a letter from my brother. I think there is something strange about Concubine Liu's gift."
Shen Heng read it and his brows gradually frowned.
He returned to the palace recently for this matter. After all, the heir to the throne carried by Empress Chen is very important. The emperor works day and night, and he, as a prince, should share some official duties. So, he has also heard about this matter.
If the bracelet is really related to Southern Xinjiang and the source can be found, Concubine Liu will not be convicted.
This letter was a family letter, and Wu Chun showed him everything in it.
How could she trust him so much? And why did she come to see him?
Wu Chun saw his doubts, "Before today, if I needed help from others, I would never think of His Royal Highness Prince Ze'an. But after meeting His Royal Highness today, I feel that His Royal Highness is a kind and benevolent person, and is someone I can trust."
"And... to be honest, I need Your Royal Highness's position." Wu Chun raised a pair of clear eyes, "If this letter is delivered in my name, I am just a stupid and barbaric woman from southern Xinjiang, and the Liang nobles in your palace look down on me, so my credibility will be greatly reduced, and I don't know how much time will be delayed."
"But if it is in the name of Prince Ze'an, or if Prince Ze'an accompanies the submission of evidence, Your Majesty will not dare to neglect it, and the people in charge will not be careless, and the possibility of finding out the truth will be greater."
"Princess Shen Ying is the only sister in the palace that I can talk to. When the Third Prince is not in the palace, only the princess can accompany me to relieve my boredom. I really can't bear to see the princess imprisoned and worried day and night, so I want to help Concubine Liu. I would rather guess wrong and make a mistake than miss a clue."
"Please help me, Your Highness!"
She was about to kneel down, and Shen Heng helped her up. "You just sprained your ankle, how can you kneel down? Father has been worried about this for many days. As a son and a minister, I hope to find out the truth as soon as possible. Even if you don't say so much, I will help you."
He smiled and said, "I'm just a little surprised. My sister-in-law is not a stupid person."
She is obviously smart and brave.
She can make bold guesses based on a few letters, and dare to run to Huaide Palace to ask him for help. How can this character be found in ordinary women?
And she is... so beautiful.
Third brother, third brother, last year, by some strange coincidence, you married such a prince's wife. It's really a good thing for you.
