As the deposed crown prince, Yun Zhuo was unable to regain his throne after clearing his name. Everyone despised him, mocked him, and wanted to kill him. He was unwilling to be trampled to death like that, so he secretly developed his power.
After going through life and death, Yun Zhuo and she finally got married. This happiness was hard-won, and he promised to protect her with his life.
On the night of their wedding, they made a promise to welcome their son, Xiao Bao, together. Xiao Bao was the child who had helped them; they owed him their lives and a happy home.
Therefore, Yun Zhuo should not have killed the Ninth Prince!
Even if the Ninth Prince is utterly wicked, he should not have been killed in public, driven to his own doom, and his happiness and hope shattered completely!
Yun Zhuo has endured humiliation for so long. Could it be that just because of a few insulting words from the Ninth Prince, she would be so provoked as to kill him?
That shouldn't be!
This shouldn't be happening!!
If Yun Zhuo were truly that kind of person, she wouldn't have the list in the box in her hand, nor would she have received the jade pendant from him!
Or perhaps this box never even exists.
Why couldn't she understand something so simple before? Something that shouldn't have happened did happen; there must be something fishy going on!
Ye Qingxue took a deep breath and suddenly sat up. "Give me a bowl of porridge!"
Chunqian and Xialv were deeply worried about Ye Qingxue when they suddenly heard Ye Qingxue's words. Both of them were stunned and looked at each other in surprise.
"Miss, you said you wanted to drink porridge?" Chunqian asked uncertainly.
Granny Xing, Qiu Shen, and Dong Bai also returned. They happened to hear Chun Qian's question and all looked at Ye Qingxue in disbelief.
"Yes, get me two bowls of porridge. Dongbai, go to the Marquis's residence and bring me the acacia seeds. Tell him I need him to perform an autopsy."
Everyone heard her words clearly.
Granny Xing and Chunqian vied to serve Ye Qingxue porridge, while Dongbai quickly went out to the Marquis's residence to find Xiangsizi.
Xia Lü and Qiu Shen stayed by Ye Qingxue's side.
Qiu Shen tentatively asked, "Miss, are you asking Xiang Si Zi to perform an autopsy? Is it for the Ninth Prince?"
Instead of answering, Ye Qingxue asked, "Do you also think the Ninth Prince's death was suspicious?"
Qiu Shen said, "I'm not sure, but it's always good to have Xiang Si Zi test it."
After a pause, Qiu Shen asked in a low voice, "Miss, what if the Ninth Prince's death was uneventful? What if it was just a normal sword killing?"
"I don't believe it, there must be something wrong! Yun Zhuo couldn't have killed him!" Ye Qingxue said with absolute certainty.
They are people destined for great things, having weathered many storms. How could Yun Zhuo possibly do something so impulsive and foolish?
She would never do such a thing, and Yun Zhuo certainly wouldn't either.
Ye Qingxue said, "From now on, don't call me Miss, call me Princess. Yun Zhuo won't die, and the Jing Prince's Mansion will definitely not fall! Hide the divorce papers in the drawer for me. I'll settle accounts with him when he gets out of prison!"
Qiu Shen: "...Yes!"
Although Ye Qingxue said that, Qiu Shen was still worried, as things might not be as optimistic as Ye Qingxue thought.
She worried that Ye Qingxue wouldn't accept reality, so she lied to herself that there was something strange about the Ninth Prince's body...
She was also worried that Ye Qingxue would completely collapse when she finally couldn't find anything unusual.
After all, many people saw Yun Zhuo take action, and Yun Zhuo's reasons for doing so were so convincing that even Yun Zhuo himself admitted to them.
Furthermore, Qiu Shen was genuinely worried that Ye Qingxue had gone from extreme grief to extreme excitement, as she was now overly tense.
Granny Xing and Chunqian brought in a pot of porridge. They first served Ye Qingxue a bowl, and after she finished it, she wanted a second bowl.
"Your Highness, we still have errands to run later, so please drink less porridge, or you'll have to go to the toilet easily. Let's bring some snacks with us and eat them slowly," Qiu Shen advised.
At this moment, Qiu Shen dared not even think about how Ye Qingxue would have collapsed if the Ninth Prince's body had not shown any abnormalities.
The only thing that could be done was to slowly persuade Ye Qingxue on the way to the palace, to lower her expectations as much as possible.
“You’re right, let’s drink this much first. Go and prepare some snacks with you. We’re going to the palace now.”
Ye Qingxue was about to get out of bed when she remembered to ask, "Has the acacia seed arrived yet?"
"Not yet. I'm afraid Dongbai hasn't arrived at the Marquis's residence yet. It will take some time for her to go there and back," said Granny Xing.
As autumn deepens, I hope the love-sickness will arrive slowly, giving Ye Qingxue more time to calm down.
Qiu Shen said, "Would the Princess Consort like to wash her face and change into some more comfortable clothes?"
"good."
Chunqian went to fetch water, and Xialu went to find clothes. All the clothes were new. She chose a set of clothes for Ye Qingxue with narrower cuffs for easier movement.
Perhaps because she had found hope, Ye Qingxue felt much clearer-headed and able to think clearly after washing her face and changing her clothes.
However, grief was taking a toll on her health, and she hadn't eaten for a long time, so she still felt very weak.
Zhuang Xin was shocked and surprised to learn that Ye Qingxue was going to the palace to perform an autopsy.
Ye Qingxue asked him, "Do you really think your prince would kill someone at this time?"
Zhuang Xin shook his head. He was unwilling to believe it, but said, "I saw with my own eyes that Your Highness pulled the long sword out of the Ninth Prince's body, and then the Ninth Prince collapsed. By the time the imperial physician arrived, it was too late."
Yes, not only Cui Shao of the Palace Guard saw it, but even his personal bodyguard witnessed it.
Otherwise, he would never have believed that Yun Zhuo had killed the Ninth Prince in public.
Even if the Ninth Prince deserved to die, he should have died a violent death, not at the hands of Yun Zhuo!
