Chapter 372 Pain Point
Hearing that Princess Yu was injured, Chen Tang and the others were all worried. Yun Yi hurriedly asked, "Is the injury serious?"
Chu Yi said, "It's not light. I was injured so badly that I need to recuperate for half a month. Princess Yu will probably need to rest for a month or two."
Princess Yu was injured in the shoulder. It was not a fatal injury, but the arrow piercing her shoulder was enough for her to bear.
Chen Tang and the others were very worried about Princess Yu, but Xie Guimo and the others said that her life would not be in danger, so they felt relieved and made an appointment to visit her at Prince Yu's Mansion in two days. If they went too early, it might affect Princess Yu's rest.
Chen Tang asked curiously, “Shouldn’t they be in the palace right now?”
It is true that Prince Yu and Prince Qi should be in the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the Emperor at this moment, but the Empress Dowager is tired and has returned to the palace to rest. Seeing that Princess Yu is not in the mood, Concubine Ye suggests to the Emperor that they let them leave the palace early, as the lantern festival in the palace is not as interesting as the one outside, and they should prefer the lantern festival outside the palace.
Princess Yu kept saying no, but the emperor listened to her and let them leave the palace early.
They had been out of the palace for a while, and Princess Yu really wanted to find Chen Tang and the others, but she didn't know where they were. Besides, it was rare for Prince Yu to accompany her to visit the lanterns, and she cherished it very much. Who would have thought that they would be assassinated.
They were careless and thought that Concubine Ye proposed to let them leave the palace early to deliberately make trouble for them. However, they did not expect that Concubine Ye really wanted them to leave the palace. Only by leaving the palace could she take their lives.
The King of Qi was already showing signs of decline, and Concubine Ye and the King of Qi were already panicking and couldn't wait to get rid of them.
Chu Yi, Xiao Xun and the others all thought that Prince Yu was destined to be an emperor and would always be able to turn danger into safety and present blessings in times of trouble. The assassins took advantage of the fireworks to attack in order to cut off Prince Yu's chance to ask for help. Who would have thought that in the sky full of fireworks, Xie Guimo could still see the signal flare he sent to Prince Yu.
The flares specially made by Jingyang Palace are a bit purple and different from the usual ones.
In addition, Xie Guimo was cautious by nature, and would rather make a wasted trip than not go and take a look to make sure he was at ease. This saved Prince Yu's life. Otherwise, not only would Prince Yu's wife be injured, but Prince Yu would also be dead without a doubt.
With such a strong life, you will definitely be able to sit in that position.
"Don't worry, there are doctors to treat your illness. Just walk a little further and we'll be back home."
Xie Guimo comforted Chen Tang.
Chen Tang nodded slightly, put aside his worries about Princess Yu, and continued to stroll.
The group continued to move forward, and soon the place became lively again. However, after a while, they saw many people rushing forward. Chu Yi grabbed someone he knew and asked, "What happened up ahead?"
The captured man said, "The prince of Changping Marquis and the prince of Wuding Earl were fighting in Zuixian Tower..."
Chu Yi, "......???"
He, Xiao Xun and Lu Li looked at each other.
Lu Li asked, "Aren't the Prince of Wuding and the Prince of Changping the Marquis in the same group? Why are they fighting?"
Chu Yi also found it strange.
The Prince of Wudingbo is the follower of the Prince of Changpinghou. He follows the Prince of Changpinghou's lead. Even if the Prince of Wudingbo has some courage, he would not dare to fight with the Prince of Changpinghou. How could they fight?
Could it be that Wu Dingbo saw that the Prince of Qi could not compete with the Prince of Yu, and wanted to be a fence-sitter and side with the Prince of Yu while the Prince of Yu had not won yet?
But considering what Wu Dingbo did for Changping Hou, Prince Yu would not trust and use him unless Wu Dingbo offered all his wealth to him.
strangeness.
It's so weird.
Chu Yi and his friends were people who loved to join in the fun, so they wanted to go and watch the fun right away. However, Prince Yu had just been assassinated, and their wives were all pregnant. What if it was someone else's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Not only would they come back from watching the fun, but they would also lose their wives. So they had to hold back.
But I didn't dare to go and watch the excitement, but I walked over there. When I was almost at Zuixianlou, I heard a commotion from there, "It's over, someone's dead!"
Chu Yi glanced at Xie Guimo and the others and said, "I'll go take a look."
The son of Marquis Changping and the son of Earl Wuding were fighting, and they both thought that one of them was dead. No matter which one it was, it was no small matter.
Chen Tang and the others didn't get close, and soon Chu Yi came back, and Lu Li asked, "Who's in trouble?"
"The Marquis of Xiping is dead."
Xiao Xun was stunned. "Aren't the ones fighting the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Wuding?"
Chu Yi said, "The Marquis of Xiping tried to stop the fight, but was knocked over by the angry Marquis of Changping. He fell from the second floor of Zuixian Tower and happened to land on a broken wine jar. His heart must have been pierced."
Lu Li asked, "Why did the Prince of Changping and the Prince of Wuding fight?"
Chu Yi said, "In order to please the Prince of Changping, the Prince of Wuding chartered a boat and invited the courtesan from Baihua Tower to accompany him. The Prince of Changping was not in a good mood, so the Prince of Wuding joked with him, asking him why he had changed his temper and whether he was in poor health. He said he had a golden gun pill. Who would have thought that the Prince of Changping suddenly changed his face and beat up the Prince of Wuding..."
Although the Prince of Wuding Earl tried to curry favor with the Prince of Changping Marquis, he was, after all, the prince of a prefecture and would not go unpunished when being beaten. He endured two punches, but when he couldn't get angry enough, he fought back, and the fight ended in a fierce battle.
The prince of Marquis of Xiping was with them at the time. When he saw that the prince of Marquis of Wuding was about to be beaten to death, he rushed forward to separate them. As a result, the prince of Marquis of Wuding did not die, but fell down and died.
Although Chu Yi didn't like any of them, he couldn't help but sigh that such an accident happened on the Lantern Festival.
Marquis Xiping had only one son, the Prince of Xiping, who was the lifeblood of Marquis Xiping's wife. Marquis Xiping did not even dare to beat or scold his son.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun were all unaware that the Prince of Changping had been deposed. The Prince of Changping was lustful by nature and had affairs with women everywhere. He was deposed by Xie Guimo because of his affair with Chen Tang, and he was already unhappy about it. The Prince of Wuding tried to please her and flatter her, which made him the Prince of Changping's punching bag. He was also tactless and made jokes about that with the Prince of Changping. Wasn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
If the Prince of Changping was fine, he might not care, but his sore spot was touched, which only made him more angry.
In the palace, the emperor watched various performances accompanied by his concubines and officials. The emperor could not leave the palace easily, but he could bring people from outside the palace in to perform for him.
Concubine Ye and Empress Xu sat on the left and right sides of the Emperor respectively. Empress Xu was a little uneasy, but Concubine Ye was at ease and in a good mood.
There was a young eunuch running over there, but he ran so fast that he fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this is bad! Prince Yu was assassinated outside the palace!"
The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end.
Empress Xu's face turned pale and she stood up suddenly. "Assassinated? How could he be assassinated?!"
The emperor asked, "How is Prince Yu?"
The young eunuch said, "Fortunately, the Prince of Jingyang and the Prince of Xuanyi arrived in time, and Prince Yu was safe, but the Princess of Yu blocked the sword for Prince Yu and was seriously injured..."
Duke Wen and his wife were both in the palace. When they heard this, their faces turned pale.
The emperor said, "Let all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital go to Prince Yu's mansion. No matter what, the life of Princess Yu must be saved!"
Empress Xu said, "I am worried and want to go to Prince Yu's mansion to take a look."
The emperor approved.
Duke Wen, his wife, and Empress Xu left the table together.
Concubine Ye sat there, her mood not as good as it had been when she arrived.
It’s the Prince of Jingyang again!
It's happened twice. Their good fortune has been ruined twice!
The death of a Princess Yu is of no consequence!
It seems that in order to take Prince Yu's life, we must first kill Prince Jingyang's son.
There was murderous intent in Concubine Ye's eyes.
Queen Xu left in a hurry, and the emperor was no longer in the mood to continue celebrating the Lantern Festival and was about to leave when a young eunuch ran over and said, "Noble Concubine Ye! It's bad! The Prince of Changping was fighting with the Prince of Wuding in Zuixian Tower, and he accidentally threw the Prince of Xiping down the stairs. The Prince of Xiping is dead, dead..."
Concubine Ye stood up in surprise.
The wife of Marquis Xiping fainted immediately.
