Chang An took a deep breath and looked at the emperor who had his eyes closed on the couch, "It's not impossible.
Although the emperor verbally ordered the prince to inherit the throne on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was no edict in the end.
If someone interferes during these few days and pulls down the prince, it is not impossible. The most important thing is that the emperor is unconscious.
Also, the Queen Mother seems to be under someone's control. Please pay more attention to Shoukang Palace."
"Empress Dowager?" Eunuch Cheng was surprised. "So, the Emperor's coma this time must not have been caused by the Crown Prince. When the Emperor fell into a coma, the Crown Prince reached out to the Empress Dowager, asking her to support the Crown Prince and help him take the throne smoothly."
"Please be careful in the palace," Chang'an instructed. "I have to leave the palace. Remember, the emperor cannot see anyone while he is unconscious."
"yes."
Before Chang An left the palace, he ran into Fu Lin, who was in a hurry. "What's wrong?"
"Naiko Kurihara is missing."
"!!!" Changan frowned slightly, "Let's go."
Fu Lin followed closely behind, feeling uneasy, "Xue'er... he's gone."
Changan kept walking, his brows furrowed, "Explain clearly."
"I suspect it was Xue'er who let Kurihara Naoko go," Fu Lin said, his head lowered. "I have evidence. It's Xue'er's handwritten letter."
As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket, on which was written, "To Fu Lin personally."
Changan saw it clearly, but did not answer it.
"Princess..." Fu Lin found it difficult to speak again, "There is one more matter I need to report."
Changan turned his head and glanced at Fu Lin. "You are a man, why are you so disgusting? If you have something to say, just say it."
While she was saying this, the two of them had already walked out of the palace gate, and Chang'an jumped onto the horse.
"Miss Dongxue and Songzi both committed suicide." Fu Lin felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat after he finished speaking, even though it was winter.
For a long time, Fu Lin lowered his head and could not hear Chang'an speak.
When he looked up again, he found that Chang'an was looking ahead with an expressionless face, as if he didn't hear what he said.
"Bai Lu checked their food, and Song Zi died on the spot. Miss Dong Xue took him back to the palace to have the Ghost Doctor treat him, but it was too late."
"Let's go." Chang'an's voice was very calm, "It's all fate."
Fu Lin didn't say a word and followed Chang'an on horseback.
Prince Xuan's Mansion.
After Chang'an returned, he went to the water dungeon first.
There was no sign of the chain inside being broken, so it was indeed opened with a key.
"When did you disappear?"
Fu Cheng and Fu Lin glanced at each other and said, "We only discovered it after the princess went to the palace."
"Where are the secret guards in the mansion?" Chang An looked at the two people, "Why didn't they find out?"
"Xue'er was brought up by the prince himself, and she understands the secret language between the secret guards even better," Fu Cheng said. "I just investigated, and according to them, they suddenly received a secret message from Xue'er this morning asking them to leave the city, and all the secret guards were required to go. Coincidentally, at that time, the prince left the palace for the imperial palace."
"Fu Xue'er knows how to do it, so why can't you?" Chang'an's eyes were cold. "Where were you when she sent out the signal?"
"Yes." Fu Cheng's eyes lit up, "We left the palace with the prince. But there was also Bai Lu, she should have heard it at the time."
"If the timing is correct," Chang'an said, "I just sent her to investigate the matter of Songzi."
Fu Cheng and Fu Lin were surprised. They looked at each other and wondered how this could be such a coincidence.
"Fu Lin, you're responsible for finding Xue'er," Chang'an ordered. "Fu Cheng, you go and make arrangements to ensure the safety of Prime Minister Lin and his wife. Don't allow them to make any mistakes."
"yes."
Fu Cheng and Fu Lin left.
Chang'an wants to see the winter snow.
As Changan walked into the yard, he saw Bai Lu kneeling on the ground, "What are you doing?"
"I failed in my duty," Bai Lu said. "The young lady asked me to watch over Dongxue, but she ended up committing suicide by taking poison."
Changan frowned, "You have indeed failed in your duty. You have not even completed the task assigned to you."
"I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Even if I punish you, Dongxue will not survive." There were tears in Chang'an's eyes, and she was trying hard to hold them back.
He raised his hand, and a surge of internal force rose from under Bai Lu's knees, lifting Bai Lu up. "You can't stop a person who has given up, and you can't stop someone who deliberately wants to die."
Bai Lu lowered her head, not knowing what to say. She felt sorry for Dongxue and also blamed herself for not completing the task assigned to her by Chang'an.
"Take me to see her."
"Dongxue is in the Ghost Doctor's yard right now." Bai Lu explained, "The Ghost Doctor has already prepared everything for Dongxue and is just waiting for the young lady to come back."
"Where are the pine nuts?" Chang'an asked as he walked.
"He's dead, and is currently in the Ghost Doctor's courtyard. Please advise how to proceed."
Walk into the ghost doctor's yard.
I saw a fine golden nanmu coffin, and Dongxue was lying inside with the lid open.
Chang'an looked at Dongxue, whose eyes were closed and would never open again, and tears fell... He sobbed softly, "You have been with me for so many years, and I haven't had the chance to seek justice for you, and you are gone. Are you really willing to accept this?"
"Miss." Bai Lu said softly, "This was found on Dong Xue. It's for you."
Chang'an took it and saw crooked words written on it. This reminded her that in her previous life, she had taught Dongxue how to write, but no matter how she taught, she just couldn't write well. She was also an impatient and impatient person.
Such a cheerful and bright woman committed suicide today for a man.
It hurts to think about it.
After Changan finished reading it, the helplessness in his heart became even stronger. "Do as An Dongxue said, bury her next to her mother.
Songzi, throw her body directly in front of Bei Mingye's house, write a letter of divorce to his current wife, and tell her that Bei Mingye forced her to death."
"Yes." Bai Lu accepted the order and directly instructed people to take Songzi's body and throw it in front of the gate of the Fourth Prince Bei Mingye's mansion.
The yard was silent. Chang'an looked at the person in the coffin quietly. He had countless words in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.
"Chang'an, girl." The ghost doctor walked to Chang'an's side, "If you want to cry, just cry. There is no one else here except an old man like me."
Chang'an said nothing.
The Ghost Doctor continued, "Dongxue has been with you since she was a child. I imagine the feelings and reluctance to leave her must be very deep. Even though this kind of separation is very painful, I will never have the chance to experience it in this lifetime."
"..." Changan rolled his eyes. Was this a way of comforting him? "If possible, I don't want to experience this feeling. Go away. I want to be quiet for a while."
"If your mind is not at peace, it makes no difference whether there are people around you or not."
