After more than half an hour, the maid looked at the woman in the next cell who had stopped breathing, took a deep breath, and ended her own life as well!
As she collapsed, the maidservant gazed at Consort Hui's cold body with sorrowful eyes.
Your Majesty, I am so sorry. I will repay your kindness in the next life.
In this life, you and I are nothing more than pawns in someone else's game!
Another hour passed before the jailers patrolled and discovered that Consort Hui had committed suicide; her body was already cold.
The next day, when Emperor Huiwu learned of this, he immediately ordered that Consort Hui's body be thrown into a mass grave!
The third prince, who had been adopted out, gritted his teeth and refused to hold a funeral for Consort Hui, or even set up a memorial tablet for her!
She entered the palace with great fanfare, became a concubine, gave birth to the third prince and became Consort Hui, but when she died, she didn't even have a complete corpse!
It's truly heartbreaking.
After another five or six days of commotion, Consort Chen's condition actually "began to improve," and Emperor Huiwu finally returned to normal.
At least in the imperial court, he won't lose his temper so easily.
Therefore, many ministers in the court sincerely prayed that Consort Chen would live a long and healthy life and that no one would harm her again.
Otherwise, they would all be ruined.
Huo Chenyi, as always, got up early to practice martial arts for an hour before going to accompany the princes to study.
In the afternoon, I accompanied Emperor Huiwu to handle state affairs, and I could not go home until the evening.
Every day is incredibly fulfilling.
"Young master, the princess has sent someone again to say that she wants to see you."
"not see."
Huo Chenyi has absolutely no good feelings towards Nan Xingyao now.
The steward said, "Young master, the princess said she's going back, and she might not come back to the capital this time, so..."
"You took her money?"
"Oh dear, this old servant wouldn't dare."
"Then what's the point of all this talk?"
Huo Chen turned and left.
The butler broke out in a cold sweat and made up his mind that he must not utter another word in the future.
In the study, Meng Kuo was waiting for Huo Chenyi.
"Why are you only coming back now? I was almost asleep." Meng Kuo was lying on the table, and only straightened up when he heard the door open.
There were still red marks on her face.
It's obvious she's been asleep for a while.
Seeing his sleepy look, Huo Chen didn't want to waste time with small talk: "Let's get down to business."
"Chenyi, His Majesty has asked me to find a way to get to the border city."
Meng Kuo straightened up and said.
Huo Chen was taken aback: "Biancheng? What happened to Biancheng?"
"His Majesty has ordered me to investigate Prince Anping."
"..."
Huo Chen slowly clenched his fist.
Biancheng was the fiefdom of the Prince of Anping.
For so many years, under the garrison and management of Prince Anping, the border town has remained impregnable! And the lives of the people have been getting better and better!
Why does His Majesty suddenly want to investigate the border town?
"What do you want to investigate?"
"Chenyi, I can't go into more detail. I came here to ask you, what should I do to avoid arousing suspicion?"
Meng Kuo was somewhat worried.
He's not some nobody.
Prince Anping also knew him.
Besides, the border town isn't exactly a tourist destination, so who would go there for no reason?
"It's simple. You're determined to marry Nan Xingyao, so you chased her all the way to the border town."
"roll!"
Meng Kuo launched into a tirade of curses.
Nan Xingyao is such a jinx, which nine-tailed fox would dare to marry her?
Even nine lives wouldn't be enough for that evil star to torment!
"I don't like Nan Xingyao, everyone in the capital knows that. Why are you suddenly so determined to marry her? Don't you find that strange?"
"You don't like her, but your mother does."
Meng Kuo was taken aback.
In fact, his mother, Princess Duanhui, did not like Nan Xingyao.
It was very kind to women from noble families.
Of course, he had a good impression of Nan Xingyao before, and even considered getting married to her, so he was very affectionate towards Nan Xingyao.
However, after getting to know Nan Xingyao's personality after a few meetings, his mother gave up the idea.
However, given his mother's character, even though she gave up the idea of marriage, she did not neglect Nan Xingyao.
Even during the time when Nan Xingyao was forbidden from leaving the mansion, her mother would still send people to deliver things to her.
Therefore, Nan Xingyao and his mother had a good relationship.
so……
"That's one way. I don't want to marry her, but my mother is forcing me to, forcing me to chase her all the way to the border town..."
"Nan Xingyao is determined to marry you, so even if I chase her all the way to the border town, she will never agree! This makes things easier for me!"
Meng Kuo nodded. These were all good arguments, but...
"I'm only eleven years old."
"Didn't you just turn eleven last month? You're twelve now."
In the capital, it's not uncommon for children from prominent families to be engaged as young as twelve or thirteen!
Therefore, it is not particularly noteworthy.
"That's true."
Meng Kuo sighed, pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered something, asking, "Hasn't the eldest princess returned yet?"
"Yes, my mother wrote to say that she is having a great time traveling around, but she will be back at the end of the year."
Huo Chenyi's expression was also very gentle when he said this.
He hadn't expected his mother to get along so well with the other man.
However, it would be best if my mother could find her own happiness and no longer be trapped in the love and hate entanglements of the past.
"Alright, you stay here. I'm going to talk to my mother."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Meng Kuo left, Huo Chenyi took out the letters Tangtang had written to him from the secret compartment and slowly read them one by one.
