Chapter 312 Idiot
On the day Xiao Huan married Princess Roujia, he received the good news that the third young master of the mansion of Lu Xuanfu, who was demoted to Ganzhou, was Chen Xing. Because someone wanted to kill Lu Xuanfu's family, he was worried, so he immediately sent people to the border to meet him and ensure that Chen Xing was safe.
Not only did Xiao Huan send people, but Xie Guimo also sent people. Unexpectedly, they still failed to prevent it, causing Shen Xing to have an accident on his way back to Beijing.
There must have been injustice in the case of collusion between officials and bandits in Ganzhou, otherwise those people would not have wanted to kill Envoy Lu Xuanfu and his entire family.
But what Xie Guimo couldn't understand was why those people wanted to kill Chen Xing. Killing Chen Xing would only anger Pingyuan Hou and Xiao Huan. It would be too stupid to investigate the case to the end, which would add fuel to the fire. Unless there was evidence on Chen Xing, such an important thing would be handed over to the secret guards by Chen Xing when something happened.
Changping Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Changping was appreciating the calligraphy and paintings presented as a tribute by his subordinates.
The secret guard jumped in through the window and said, "My Lord, the eldest daughter of Duke Wen's mansion got scared by a horse on the street, and Prince Yu rescued her..."
Changping Hou's good mood disappeared after hearing these words.
Duke Wen has considerable power in the court. He and Prince Qi have tried to win him over several times over the years, but were rejected by Duke Wen. Prince Yu rescued Duke Wen's daughter in the street, and the Emperor will surely grant them a marriage. It is impossible for Duke Wen's daughter to marry Prince Yu, and he would not make plans for Prince Yu!
Prince Yu has a new great helper!
Think about the King of Qi again. The Princess of Qi he married was the daughter of Marquis Pingyuan, the sister of Princess Jingyang, and the younger sister of Prince Ning, but now she is the daughter of their enemy. Not only can she not bring any help to the King of Qi, but Master Shen and Madam Shen are also holding the King of Qi back. If it weren't for Shen Xian's natural destiny and the child in her belly being even more precious, she would have vacated the position of Princess of Qi long ago.
Seeing that Marquis Changping had a gloomy expression, the secret guard said, "I heard that the accident of the eldest daughter of Duke Wen's mansion was related to Prince Ning's son."
Changping Hou frowned, "What's going on?"
The secret guard said, "It's not clear yet. Prince Ning left the capital in a hurry. It seems that something big happened..."
Before the secret guard finished speaking, a gray-white carrier pigeon flew in and landed on the window coffin.
The secret guard walked over, took the letter off the pigeon's ankle, and presented it to Marquis Changping for review.
The Marquis of Changping's face, which was already bad, turned even darker after he saw the letter.
"idiot!"
"A fool who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good!"
The letter contained the news that Chen Xing had fallen off a cliff. Marquis Changping was so angry that he could hardly stand.
There are loopholes in the Ganzhou case. Old Prince Ning had sent people to Ganzhou to investigate the case before. Now that he knows that Envoy Lu was kind enough to raise Shen Xing, he will definitely send people to Ganzhou to thoroughly investigate the case and clear Envoy Lu's name.
In order to prevent the fire from eventually spreading to him and the King of Qi, he had people capture Shen Xing. With such a hostage in hand, he would surely be invincible.
I told them repeatedly to capture him alive, but what happened is that someone fell off a cliff.
Chen Xing has only two sons. The eldest son has been adopted by Prince Ning's Mansion, leaving only this one. If something happens to him, how can it not anger Pingyuan Hou and Xiao Huan? !
Why are there so many rubbish under his command? !
Marquis Changping was so angry that his heart ached.
The secret guard said, "My Lord, we have to prepare for the worst..."
There was no need for the secret guard to remind him about this. Marquis Changping closed his eyes.
If you can't get rid of the enemy, you can only sacrifice your own people to save your own king to prevent future troubles.
…
Xiao Huan was afraid that Shen Tang and Shen Sui would worry about Shen Xing's accident, so he discussed with Old Prince Ning and went to find Shen Xing on the pretext of leaving Beijing for work. As a result, he was so anxious that he wished he could grow a pair of wings and rush to the scene of the accident immediately, which frightened the horses in Duke Wen's mansion and he failed to conceal the truth.
Xiao Huan was known for his calm temperament, and when people who knew him heard that he had caused this trouble, they knew that something had happened, and it was a big one.
Chen Sui went to ask Old Prince Ning, but Old Prince Ning refused to tell him. Chen Sui was about to chase Xiao Huan, and Old Prince Ning had no choice but to tell him the truth about Chen Xing being assassinated and falling off the cliff.
On the way here, Shen Sui had a vague guess that Xiao Huan had just gotten married, and if something really happened, Old Prince Ning and the Emperor would not let Xiao Huan leave the capital if they could hand it over to others. In addition, he had been feeling uneasy these past few days, and when he knew about this, he was worried that it was related to Shen Xing.
Upon learning that it was his youngest son whom he had never met who was in trouble, Shen Sui's eyes became bloodshot. Old Prince Ning comforted Shen Sui, "It will be fine."
Xiao Huan has already gone to find Chen Xing. As a marquis, Chen Sui holds an important position and cannot leave the capital without the emperor's permission. All he can do is wait.
Xiao Huan left, but he caused the eldest daughter of Duke Wen's mansion to be frightened. This matter had to be dealt with. Prince Ning prepared generous gifts and went to Duke Wen's mansion in person to apologize for Xiao Huan. Although Duke Wen felt sorry for his daughter being frightened, he knew that Xiao Huan did not do it on purpose. In addition, he knew that it was the second young master Shen who had an accident and Xiao Huan was rushing to leave Beijing to find his brother, so he did not blame him.
The eldest daughter of Duke Wen's mansion was rescued by Prince Yu in public, and the emperor would definitely grant them marriage. Old Prince Ning said, "Don't worry, Duke Wen, this marriage is because of Huan'er. If Prince Yu wants to bully your daughter in the future, I will never agree."
Prince Ning always keeps his word, so Duke Wen felt relieved to hear his promise.
After leaving Duke Wen's Mansion, Prince Ning went to the palace to find the Emperor and arranged a marriage between Prince Yu and the eldest daughter of Duke Wen's Mansion.
Empress Xu was already worried about Prince Yu's marriage. Miss Wen was saved by Prince Yu himself, so he should like her. As the daughter of Duke Wen, she has an excellent family background, talent, and personality. With Prince Ning as the matchmaker and the Emperor granting the marriage, it would be even better.
The news of the arranged marriage spread that day. If it were normal, Shen Tang would definitely be happy for Miss Wen and Prince Yu, but she couldn't be happy because her second brother's life or death was uncertain.
Si'er finished delivering the message and quietly left. Qiu'er came in and said, "Princess, there's news from the Marquis' Mansion that the old lady has fallen ill..."
Even Chen Tang was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep, let alone the old lady.
No one knew of the grandson's existence since he was born. No, it was Jiang who said that she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but no one believed it. It was not until she found Chunlan that the old lady knew that she had a little grandson who had been wandering outside for fifteen years.
After much difficulty in finding him and about to see him, something unexpected happened. The old lady was already in poor health, and when she heard the tragic news, she felt as if the sky had fallen, and she became so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed.
Originally, Chen Tang wanted to go back to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion one day, but he didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes. The old lady fell ill, and Chen Tang must go back to visit her.
After breakfast the next day, Chen Tang took Ginkgo and Qiu Tong back to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Xie Guimo was busy and couldn't accompany them, so he asked Chen Shan to bring the secret guards to escort them.
Chen Tang was sitting in the carriage, feeling depressed. Ginkgo lifted the curtain to look outside. As luck would have it, she saw the Second Madam. Ginkgo was so angry that she cursed, "If it weren't for the Second Madam, the Second Young Master wouldn't have been stranded outside and suffered so much. It hurt the Second Young Master, but the Second Madam was out shopping as if nothing had happened!"
