Chapter 373: Ordinary
The good news is bad, and the bad news is really bad.
Concubine Ye felt as if something was blocking her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The atmosphere of the Lantern Festival was completely destroyed at this moment.
Civil and military officials have celebrated the Lantern Festival with the emperor for more than a dozen years, but none of them has celebrated it like this. The only son of Marquis Xiping is gone, which is undoubtedly a devastating disaster for the Marquis Xiping's mansion.
The emperor stood up and left, and all the civil and military officials dispersed.
As for Chen Tang, Xie Guimo had originally planned to accompany Chen Tang for some more shopping. After all, the next Lantern Festival would be several months later, and by then Chen Tang would be about to give birth, so she definitely wouldn't be able to go out, even if he was with her. But in the evening, things happened one after another, and he was worried about Chen Tang being outside, so he went back home.
Others did not dare to wander around any longer and went back home.
In the carriage, Chen Tang said, "The Marquis of Xiping's son is dead. Will the Marquis of Xiping ask the Marquis of Changping to pay for his life?"
Xie Guimo said, "The son of Marquis Changping did not kill people intentionally. Besides, Marquis Xiping is a member of the Qi Wang party, so it is hard to say for sure."
The prince of Marquis Xiping was an only son, and so was the prince of Marquis Changping.
Marquis Xiping has supported the King of Qi for many years and has been involved in many things. His hands may not be clean, so Xie Guimo cannot guess in which direction this matter will develop.
But now that his son is gone, no one will inherit the Marquis of Xiping's family business, no matter how big it is. Even if the King of Qi takes that position in the future and confers the Marquis of Xiping as king, there will be no one to succeed him, and all of it will be in vain.
However, with a life like this on his hands, even if it was not intentional, he can escape the death penalty, but he cannot avoid being punished alive.
After returning to the Jingyang Palace, Xie Guimo took Chen Tang down from the carriage and took him directly back to Chenxiangxuan.
Although I slept long enough in the afternoon, I did walk a lot at night. I took a hot bath and then went to bed together.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Chen Tang woke up, but did not see Yin Xing and Qiu Tong come in. Usually, the two maids would rush in when they heard any noise in the room, so what happened today?
Chen Tang leaned on the big pillow for a long time before Yin Xing and Qiu Tong came in. Seeing Chen Tang got up, Yin Xing asked, "When did the Crown Prince's Consort get up?"
Chen Tang asked, "What are you doing outside?"
Ginkgo said, "The old lady of Xiping Marquis's Mansion is gone..."
I was just talking about this with the maids in the yard and didn't hear any noise in the house.
Chen Tang was indeed surprised, but then he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
Marquis Xiping had only one grandson, the Crown Prince, who was the apple of his eye. The old lady of the Marquis Xiping's mansion loved him dearly. As she was old, she suddenly learned that her grandson was gone. She could not bear the great blow and died.
Marquis Xiping supported the King of Qi, and the credit of following the dragon was still hanging there, like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, which he could see but could not eat. No, it is almost invisible now, but his own son has been sacrificed and his mother has also lost her life. Marquis Xiping must be regretting it to the core.
If he died at the hands of his opponent, it would arouse hatred, but if he died at his own hands, Xiping Hou would only hate himself more.
Although the Prince of Xiping was not a good man, it is still hard not to sympathize with him as he died trying to stop a fight. What's more, his death took away his grandmother who loved him the most, which makes people sympathize with him even more.
Chen Tang got off the bed, washed and dressed, and Si'er came in and said, "Crown Princess, Princess Yu has a high fever and is in critical condition. The Queen and Duke Wen and his wife have been guarding her bedside all night..."
Empress Xu was a good person, and Princess Yu was seriously injured while saving Prince Yu from the sword. How could Empress Xu not be moved? However, she was seriously injured and had a high fever, so Chen Tang was worried for Princess Yu.
The Emperor ordered the Imperial Hospital to save Princess Yu's life at all costs. Dean Zhao and several other imperial physicians stayed at Prince Yu's mansion.
Princess Yu lost too much blood and fell into a coma. She woke up in the evening, but was only conscious for a quarter of an hour before fainting again.
Being a lady from a noble family, she would normally feel pain for a long time even if her skin was broken. Suddenly she suffered such a serious injury, and the wife of Duke Wen felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Fortunately, several imperial doctors worked together to save Princess Yu's life. Her fever subsided at night, and when she woke up the next morning, she was able to eat. Although not much, just half a bowl of porridge, it would be really dangerous if she couldn't eat anything.
When Princess Yu was in a coma, Prince Yu stayed by her side without eating or drinking. Princess Yu lost weight, and he lost weight too.
This wife of his was half-forced on him, but the people who forced her on him were not the emperor or the empress, but Chu Yi, Xiao Xun and others.
Ever since he knew that their marriages were all so outrageous, he had been mentally prepared that his own marriage might also be weird, but he didn't mind. Although Chu Yi and the others' marriages would make people laugh for a long time, they had a very good relationship after they got married.
He grew up in the harem and knew that the emperor did not like the queen, and he also hoped that he and his princess would be in love with each other.
He and Chu Yi and the others were joking, but they took it seriously. He saved Miss Wen from the frightened horse, arranged a marriage for her, and married her.
He always felt that his life was a little dull, not as lively as that of Chu Yi and the others. At least his princess would never dare to pinch his waist, step on his feet, or send him to the study to sleep.
He thought that maybe his princess didn't love him as much as Chu Yi and his wives, so she kept a distance from him. But he didn't expect that when the assassin's sword stabbed at her, she would pounce on him without hesitation.
She was willing to die for him.
Prince Yu was grateful to Xie Guimo and Chu Yi for saving him several times, and he was even more grateful to them for bringing him together to marry such a good princess.
After Princess Yu woke up, she felt that Prince Yu looked at her in a strange way.
Prince Yu asked, "Why would you risk your life to save me?"
Princess Yu said, "My life was saved by Your Majesty..."
Prince Yu said, "Although the horse was startled that day, it was dangerous, but at most you were injured and not dead. But if you blocked the arrow for me, you would die."
Princess Yu was not good at making sentimental remarks, she just shook her head and said nothing else.
Prince Yu said, "From now on, you should treat me like the wife of the Marquis Xuanyi and the others treated the Marquis Xuanyi."
Princess Yu didn't understand, but she agreed.
When Chen Tang and Yun Yi went to visit her, Princess Yu covered her shoulder injury and asked Yun Yi, "How do you usually treat your husband?"
Yun Yi was a little confused, "Isn't that it?"
“Different from the average person.”
Yun Yi and Zhao Xi looked at each other.
"Hit him?"
“…”
"Scold him?"
“…”
"Pinch him?"
“…”
"Kick him?"
Yun Yi said, "Apart from these things, my relationship with my husband is no different from my relationship with my father and mother."
Yun Yi thought she was usually very virtuous, but Chu Yi could make her angry and become a shrew with just a few words.
Yun Yi looked at Chen Tang and said in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed, "I learned all this from the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingyang. It's just that my husband is a bit more annoying, so I just used more of his strength according to the situation..."
Princess Yu: "..."
