In the Prince Lu's mansion, the Prince Lu did not laugh, but sighed a little, and said to the Princess Lu: "You said that the Crown Prince had a good opportunity to be the Crown Prince, but he didn't want to be the Crown Prince. Why did he commit suicide?"
He did hate the prince, but he had hated him for so many years and now he was gone all of a sudden, so he couldn't get used to it.
Princess Lu rolled her eyes at Prince Lu and said, "Your Highness, it's your business whether others commit suicide or not, but we just need to avoid committing suicide."
She realized that being a prince was indeed a high-risk business.
Prince Lu curled his lips and said, "I am a county prince, what can I do to die? I tell you, I just thought that my status was too high and dangerous, so I took a step back and let the world be more open."
Princess Lu twitched her lips and almost couldn't help spitting in Prince Lu's face.
Haha, taking a step back, this is how the vast sea and sky are used?
"Then I really want to thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting our family."
Prince Lu glanced at Princess Lu with a smug look and said, "It's good that you know."
He is so foresighted. It should be okay for him to go back and sleep with this beautiful girl, right?
Princess Lu raised her eyebrows and sneered.
I always feel that this man's heart has become active again. As expected, if you don't beat him up for three days, he will eventually take out the kitchen knife.
The King of Shu returned to the Palace of Shu and went straight into the study, calling his left and right aides to discuss matters.
The Princess of Shu stood by the window, looking towards the study room, with a hint of sneer on her lips.
Once the prince died, did the prince become calm?
The King of Shu was indeed moved.
In his opinion, below the Crown Prince was the King of Qi, and he was the only one who had the power to compete with the King of Qi.
He is younger than the King of Qi, which is his biggest disadvantage, but his mother is more favored by his father, and he is also more favored by his father than the King of Qi.
Originally, my father was a person who attached great importance to rules. He was determined to let the crown prince succeed to the throne. However, he ended up raising an eldest son who killed the king and his father. This must have had a great impact on my father's mentality. Maybe my father has changed.
Since the eldest son was unreliable, why couldn't he choose the prince he liked the most to succeed him? Or even if he didn't choose a prince based on love, he could choose a prince based on virtue. He didn't have any chance.
The reputation of the fourth brother is just a false reputation. Who doesn't know his little tricks? Since the fourth brother can fight for the throne, he can also fight for it. It is not certain who will win.
In the Xiangwang Mansion, the Xiangwang did not run to the study. Anyway, he didn't even have a wife, so he couldn't avoid people even if he wanted to.
Prince Xiang lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a frown in thought.
He has always had a good relationship with his fourth brother. Now that his fourth brother is about to become successful, will he be able to benefit from his success in the future?
Compared with the other princely palaces which were temporarily deserted, the Prince of Yan's Mansion was a bit more lively.
The Queen's reward to Erniu has arrived.
Erniu received a gold necklace inlaid with bright yellow rubies, weighing a full two kilograms.
Of course, an ordinary gold collar is not even half as heavy as this one, thanks to Erniu's strong neck.
After the eunuch left, Yu Jin held the gold collar and said with a smile, "It seems that this gold collar is a reward for Er Niu."
After getting rid of the Crown Prince, Jiang Si smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you still thinking about Erniu's promotion? Others don't know the role Erniu played in this matter. If they really knew, it would not be a good thing for Erniu. A two-pound gold necklace inlaid with rubies is quite affordable."
Yu Jin was in a good mood as well. He rubbed Erniu's head and chuckled, "How can a two-jin gold collar be as effective as a promotion? You have to know that Erniu also has a salary. If he advances to the rank of Fourth Rank, the increase in his salary will not be comparable to that of a gold collar."
Jiang Si laughed: "I forgot that our Erniu also receives an annual salary. Speaking of which, Ah Huan has been given a title since birth, and Erniu also has a salary. On the contrary, the prince was fined a year's salary for beating the prince, and he has not received any money until now..."
Yu Jin was stunned, with a complicated expression: "So, for more than a year, we have been supported by Erniu and his daughter?"
Jiang Si's face straightened: "Who said that? My dowry is still there."
Yu Jin rubbed his face in embarrassment and suddenly pulled Jiang Si into his arms.
"What?"
Yu Jin laughed softly in Jiang Si's ear: "I thought about it and decided to pay with my body——"
Jiang Si pushed him and said, "Stop messing around, Erniu is still here."
Yu Jin let go of Jiang Si and glared at the big dog with dissatisfaction.
This guy is becoming more and more ignorant. Doesn't he see that his master has important things to do?
Erniu opened his mouth, grabbed the golden collar, turned around and ran, and only put the golden collar down after running all the way back to the warm and comfortable doghouse.
The owner has been holding on to its things, is he trying to keep them for himself?
Erniu picked up the gold collar again and threw it into the sky. When the gold collar fell down, he opened his mouth to catch it. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this yellow thing. However, he failed to catch it properly when he threw it for the fourth time, and the two-pound gold collar hit the dog's face.
Erniu let out a cry, then quietly dug a hole and buried the gold collar.
In the palace, Pan Hai was reporting the results of the interrogation of palace maid Hongyu to Emperor Jingming.
"Didn't find out anything?" Upon hearing this result, Emperor Jingming felt exhausted.
The prince's death eventually became a thorn in his heart, a poisonous one at that, which hurt even if he didn't touch it.
Pan Hai knew that Emperor Jingming was in a very bad mood, so he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, the maid Hongyu should be unaware of this..."
"So she just happened to see the palace maid Cuishan carving the doll?" Emperor Jingming asked angrily.
Nanny Duo stirred up such a turmoil in the palace, but in the end, nothing was learned about Wu Miao. This made Emperor Jingming extremely frustrated, and he did not expect the situation to be like this again today.
Until now, he is not sure whether there is someone behind the Prince's witch case. Is it really just a coincidence?
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, if this is not a coincidence, then it is possible that the palace maid Cuishan deliberately let Hongyu see this..."
Emperor Jingming rubbed his brow helplessly, feeling a splitting headache: "After all, if there is a mastermind behind the green shirt, why can't we find this person for a while?"
Pan Hai was silent for a moment and said, "I have already sent people to investigate the hometowns of the two palace maids. Perhaps we can find new clues."
"Hongyu, continue investigating here and don't let anyone die."
"yes."
At this time, a eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks you to go to Cining Palace."
Emperor Jingming sighed softly in his heart, then stood up and headed for Cining Palace.
"Mother, why don't you rest?"
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jingming, her eyes reddened, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
"My son knows. Mother, please don't worry about me."
The Queen Mother was silent for a while, then said, "I shouldn't have said too much, but the Crown Prince has caused such a scene, and now people are in a panic. The Emperor should be aware of this."
"I understand that I am ashamed that I have been in power for so many years and have caused you so much worry."
"There is no need for us to talk about these things between mother and son." The Queen Mother sighed and changed the subject. "A lot of things have happened in the palace in the past two years. I don't like the quietness anymore. I always feel that the quietness makes people feel heavy. Let Fuqing and Shisichang come to accompany me in the future."
