Chapter 272 Rebellion
That night.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Jiang Miaomiao had a dream.
A very long dream.
When I woke up, I felt a little dazed.
How could a soft pillow be wet?
A'niang also slept in for the first time ever.
When I woke up, I reached out and touched it, it was wet, "Miaomiao, did you wet the bed?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
She is so old and still wets the bed. Mom is really thoughtful.
The little girl blinked her big round eyes and said, "Mother, you cried in your dream last night, have you forgotten?"
Lu Qingyao opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling of the bed.
Is there?
When the daughter was still young, she couldn't help feeling sad whenever she thought of her parents who were suffering in exile.
Could it be because of the swaddling incident last night?
She rubbed her eyes, but... didn't feel any discomfort.
But why are the little girl's eyes a little swollen?
Are you crying?
It's impossible. What kind of worries could a child of this age have?
"Miaomiao, your eyes are swollen, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt when I get bit by a mosquito."
"Don't move, let Mommy apply medicine for you."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
The little girl sat on the bed and closed her eyes obediently.
I heard the door creak open, it was my aunt coming back from buying breakfast.
"Sister, guess what I found out?" Xiuxiu put the steamed buns and wontons she bought on the table and sat down.
His expression was unpredictable.
"Sister, Prince Su is rebelling."
"He's rebelled!" Lu Qingyao paused, "Your Majesty hasn't punished him yet, so why did he rebel?"
I'm afraid that there will be another bloody storm in the imperial city.
Xiuxiu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Liuyun said that Prince Su probably learned about the military pay issue while he was being recalled from his fiefdom, so he didn't dare return to the capital and rebelled."
Lu Qingyao's heart trembled.
It seems that Dad’s charges should be completely cleared, but I’m afraid it will be another fierce battle.
She was a little worried about the safety of her father and brother, wondering if they were participating in the suppression of the rebellion.
She didn't know much about the princesses and princes of the royal family. She only heard Jiang Yunze say that the emperor's favorite son was Prince Su.
He also considered deposing the crown prince.
No matter how wise a monarch is, he will become more suspicious and his eyesight will become blurry as he gets older.
If he had sent troops to capture Prince Su at the beginning instead of recalling him, perhaps this would not have happened.
Lu Qingyao asked again, "What about Prince Su's biological mother, Concubine Li? Prince Su doesn't care whether she lives or dies?"
"Emperors have always been fickle since ancient times. One general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers!" Xiuxiu sighed.
There was a moment of silence.
"Xiu Xiu, pack your bags quickly and return to Beijing."
Lu Qingyao quickly picked up the little girl, dressed her and washed her, all her movements flowing smoothly.
Jiang Miaomiao was a little dazed, always feeling that war was far away from her.
Perhaps it’s because I used to live in a peaceful era, but I only saw these fights on the news.
When others traveled through time, they either encountered famine or war. Although she almost died when she traveled through time, she was also extremely poor at the beginning.
But fortunately, there was no war.
But this war came suddenly, and it was a civil war, and it seemed to be very close to us.
It just feels a little unreal.
Everything is ready, packed and packed.
Headed to the capital without stopping.
Capital city.
People are in panic.
But it is still prosperous, and people still linger in the brothels.
King Jing was a useless son. Even though his elder brother was sick, he still had the mood to sneak into brothels to listen to music.
Even just listening to the music was enough to make his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, mad to death.
"What Prince Xiaoyao is? He is just a hopeless person."
The emperor threw the memorial in front of Princess Yuqing and the queen.
Among all his sons, the fifth was the most distant from him and the least like him, and he originally had no hope for him.
But it happened that the son who was most like him and whom he trusted the most rebelled against him.
The prince's body couldn't hold on for much longer, but he was so impatient that he didn't even care about his mother's life or death.
A heartless person.
He stumbled back to the dragon throne, tears in his eyes and many more white hairs on his head.
He waved his hand weakly, "Everyone, leave!"
Princess Yuqing originally wanted to mention the matter of redressing the Lu family's injustice, but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate for her to bring it up at this time.
Then he retreated.
The Queen looked at her daughter and said, "Qing'er, take good care of your fifth brother. He always listens to you. Don't let him make your father angry again."
Princess Yuqing nodded and watched her mother leave.
Only then did he drag his tired body step by step towards the palace gate.
She just wanted to take a walk and calm herself down.
The imperial physician just told her that the poison in the prince's lungs has already entered his body and there is no cure. Unless an antidote is found, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Without an antidote, there are only three months left.
But at this moment, someone could not hold back and attacked the Crown Princess and the two-year-old grandson.
All the evidence points to one person, Prince Su.
But he rebelled at this time.
The sedan chair behind her followed silently, ready to move forward at any time. If the princess didn't want to leave, she could sit on it immediately.
Walk all the way to the palace gate.
There was a sedan chair outside the car to pick them up.
The housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion was anxiously waiting, "Your Highness, Liuyun has sent back someone who claims to have the antidote to the poison the Crown Prince has contracted, and who also knows who poisoned him."
Princess Yuqing was delighted and said, "Quick, send the antidote to my mother."
"yes."
"Who poisoned me?"
"The Fourth Prince, Prince Chen."
"It's actually him." Princess Yuqing knew that her fourth brother was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface, but actually harbored evil ambitions.
"Your Highness, do you want to report to His Majesty?" The butler had already brought the person over.
"Not yet. Spread the news of Prince Chen poisoning Prince Su to Prince Su's fiefdom, and find a way to get the court officials to submit a memorial recommending him to quell the rebellion."
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other and one of them will definitely die.
Princess Yuqing knows her father's temper best.
If she reports Prince Chen at this time, her father may not believe her. Instead, he may become suspicious of her and her.
The housekeeper agreed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, Liuyun also sent a letter back saying that the Lu mother and son encountered ambushes several times on their way back to the capital. It was most likely done by the Qi family."
There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and then the princess's cold voice was heard, "Tell Mu Jiangyue about this."
That master has a hot temper.
Even if I can't touch the Qi family for the time being, I can still skin that concubine's daughter alive.
The last person in the Jiang family to know that Prince Su had rebelled was Jiang Zijin, who was reading a book in the house at that time.
Qi Caiwei ran in hurriedly.
"Jin'er, my eyelids have been twitching. I wonder if Prince Su's incident will implicate your grandfather. After all, your grandfather was involved in the Lu family incident..."
Jiang Zijin's heart skipped a beat, and she covered her mother's mouth, "Mother, be careful what you say. What does the traitor king have to do with my grandfather?"
