Chapter 327 Reversal and Face Slapping
Seeing her so calm, Jinse felt a little relieved.
"I was confused. You are right. Your Highness and General Zhenxi are blessed with good fortune. Nothing will happen to them."
Although Concubine Rou did not collapse, her overall condition was affected. She became visibly thinner and only ate a few bites at each meal before putting down her chopsticks.
Jinse looked worried, "Your Majesty, please eat more. You must be well and wait for His Highness and Miss Hanyi to come back."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Rou perked up and ate more.
In addition to Concubine Rou, Xiao Baozhu's mood also fell to the bottom, and she lost a lot of weight.
Lu Guanxuan was also in a very bad mood.
He had always dreamed of becoming the prince's father-in-law, and wanted to use this relationship to continue climbing the ladder, but Prince Jin had been slow to return to the capital, and the wedding date had not been set, and he was becoming increasingly anxious as he waited.
I never thought that in the end, instead of receiving good news, I received such shocking bad news.
Lu Guanxuan felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and was extremely disappointed.
His beautiful dream was completely shattered.
Fang almost couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Okay, okay, that’s great.
It was Lu Zhiran herself who was not blessed enough to become the prince's consort.
From now on, it would be a foolish dream for her to marry into a good family again.
Rumors soon spread in the Lu Mansion that the eldest daughter had a bad fate and was an unlucky star.
She killed her own mother and her future husband, and even his body was lost.
If she continues to stay in the mansion, I'm afraid the master will also be killed.
Such rumors spread throughout the mansion and soon reached Lu Guanxuan's ears.
Lu Guanxuan listened to it immediately.
Lu Zhiran is now a useless pawn, and he can no longer extract more value from her.
I can't let her live in the Lu family anymore, otherwise, one day, I'm afraid she will really kill me.
Thinking of this, Lu Guanxuan went to Yaoguang Pavilion.
Only Lu Zhiran's closest confidants knew about her departure from Beijing, and even her biological father Lu Guanxuan was unaware of it.
When he arrived outside Yaoguang Pavilion, he was unexpectedly turned away.
Lu Guanxuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You bastards, open your eyes and look at who I am? You even dare to stop me!"
Grandma Gao stood guard at the door like a door god. "Please forgive me, Master Lu. The county lady is waiting to be married. It is inconvenient for her to see anyone. Please go back."
Lu Guanxuan looked at the old lady in front of him and felt angry, but because of her identity, he felt a little more cautious.
"Hasn't Mammy heard about Prince Jin?"
The person is gone, what's the point of getting married?
Could it be that I want to marry him and live as a widow?
Even if it was the royal family, there would be no reason for them to do this.
Grandma Gao understood the hidden meaning in his words and her expression became even colder.
"Your Highness is blessed with great fortune and will surely return safely. Lord Lu, please be careful with your words. As long as the Emperor's decree remains, the County Lady will concentrate on preparing for her wedding. Lord Lu, please return."
After saying that, he closed the gate directly, which made Lu Guanxuan feel frustrated and even more angry.
When they returned to the courtyard, a look of worry covered Grandma Gao's face.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan both had red eyes.
They were all worried about the safety of their young lady and His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
Grandma Gao's face immediately turned stern. "Hold your tears, the two masters will be safe. Don't look so sad and bring bad luck to the masters."
After hearing this, the two of them hurriedly wiped away their tears.
The nanny is right. The young lady and the prince will be fine. They can't be discouraged first.
Just when all the court officials had accepted the news of Prince Jin's death, Ren Zongping returned to the capital.
He brought back first-hand news from Xiping, as well as a group of criminal officials.
There was another uproar in the capital.
Xiao Yanci is not dead.
Gu Qishan is not dead.
There is nothing wrong with the Jiang family's prescription.
There was no change in the epidemic situation in Xiping.
All the previous news was false.
After listening to Ren Zongping's speech, there was a moment of silence in the court. Everyone was speechless with shock at this huge reversal.
The emperor sitting at the top looked around at everyone calmly.
Someone had already reported this information to him.
Now, he just wanted to see how his court officials would react.
Xiao Yanqing almost couldn't hold back his expression.
How is that possible?
How could Xiao Yanci not be dead?
He almost asked aloud, but fortunately the last bit of reason pulled him back.
He didn't ask, but someone asked for him.
"Master Ren, what's going on? Where is His Royal Highness Prince Jin? Why did such a ridiculous rumor spread earlier?"
Ren Zongping spoke slowly, "The news of His Royal Highness Prince Jin's death was spread by Lord Chu Yi'an, the son of the Marquis Xuanping. He swore to confirm the incident, so we believed it."
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was blessed with good fortune and nothing happened. He appeared before the public and exposed the truth. It turned out that Chu Yian had evil intentions and wanted to murder His Royal Highness Prince Jin! If His Royal Highness Prince Jin had not been prepared and used a substitute to lure him, I'm afraid the situation would have been very dangerous."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell silent again, and then there was an uproar.
Chu Dingfeng's legs softened and he fell to his knees.
"Master Ren, is there any misunderstanding about this matter? How dare I do such a treasonous thing?"
After these few short sentences, his back was quickly wet with cold sweat.
Ren Zongping did not argue, he was just a messenger.
Xiao Yanqing clenched his fists tightly. Thinking of how complacent he had been recently, he hated Chu Yian to the extreme.
He was so eager for quick success that he dared to report the matter without clarifying it at all. He deserves to die!
How come Xiao Yanci didn't die? How could he be so lucky!
Disappointment swept over him like a tidal wave. If he had not been in the court at that moment, he would have lost his composure long ago.
Ren Zongping told Chu Dingfeng other things one by one. Chu Dingfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, felt like he was petrified. His back felt cold and the chill spread throughout his body.
He thought that his son's crime of murdering the prince was horrifying enough, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shuning's guilt was even worse!
The previous problematic prescription left a huge hidden danger, causing the soldiers and people of Xiping to suffer a second epidemic and giving Qiang Di an opportunity to take advantage of. This was a crime.
She also used witchcraft to harm soldiers and civilians, and designed to steal the credit from the Jiang family. This was her second crime.
What she did was enough to kill everyone in the Marquis' Mansion several times!
Chu Dingfeng was filled with hatred, and at the same time, he felt an even stronger fear.
He didn't want to die. There were so many people in the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't just die like that.
After hearing this, the court officials were all filled with righteous indignation and began to attack Zhao Shuning, completely forgetting how they had praised Zhao Shuning before.
Chu Dingfeng stumbled and begged for mercy.
"Your humble servant deserves death! My daughter-in-law Zhao has committed such a grave crime, all due to my negligence in managing my household. Please, Your Majesty, show me your wrath!"
