Chapter 190 The Forbidden Pearl
Across the palace gate, the prince stood in a dark corner.
His expression was hidden, making it impossible to see his emotions.
He held the cloak in his hand, but he couldn't take this step.
Listening to the intermittent voices, the prince's face became darker.
She was exposed late at night and she was already in poor health. Will staying in the cold make her condition worse?
But when he was about to go out, how should he face the prayer in Ji Mingzhu's eyes?
If she cried like Yun Ling, his calmness would be shattered!
The hand holding the cloak tightened.
For the first time in his life, the prince wavered and lost the ability to kill decisively.
My heart felt dull and uncomfortable.
Angry that she didn't take care of her body, she came to the palace gate and knelt down in the middle of the night.
But more importantly, he realized that the couple's relationship had really improved.
Unlike before, Ji Mingzhu looked gentle on the surface, but actually there was no warmth in her eyes.
Even if A Zheng offered her the best, she was not moved at all.
The prince stood there, motionless.
As if frozen.
Eunuch Fu glanced in the direction of the East Palace and said, "Your Highness, if you don't go back, the Crown Princess will be sad."
On the wedding night, the husband did not show up at the wedding room.
No matter it is an ordinary woman or a high-ranking princess, no one should be able to endure it.
Throw the cloak into Eunuch Fu's arms.
The prince's tone was indifferent, "Let her go back and wait for news. Don't be an eyesore at the palace gate. She will do things impartially and will not wrongly accuse innocent people."
"Ms. Xu is Gu's concubine. She cannot lose her life in vain. Tell Ji Mingzhu that you are not allowed to kneel at the palace gate in the future, nor are you allowed to take a step outside the gate of the Duke's palace. If you dare to show off your cruel tricks again, Gu will be punished. Torture Xie Yunzheng! ”
"Kneel down once and hit her once!"
Eunuch Fu's heart trembled when he heard this.
Cautiously asked: "Then this cloak..."
"To Yun Ling."
The tall man left quickly.
He walked in the thick darkness, and even his back showed a chilling air.
But it was such a person who came to the palace gate on the wedding night and hesitated for so long, just wanting to give the kneeling person something to keep out the cold.
Eunuch Fu sighed silently.
Even the most powerful people cannot avoid the word love.
It's not good for His Highness to like anyone, so why did he fall in love with Ji Mingzhu?
Not to mention that she is a wife.
Her husband is also a ruthless man who is not easy to fool!
His Highness and Mr. Xie were brothers and sisters, but now they are both thinking about the same woman.
I don’t know if there will be a big fight over this in the future.
Thinking of that scene, Mr. Fu's head got big.
Love is such a difficult thing!
Ji Mingzhu knelt at the gate of the palace all night, and was finally sent away by the people from the East Palace, who also ordered her not to engage in cruel tricks again.
The news spread throughout the capital overnight.
The Xu family stood still, but the Du family was the first to take part in Xie Yunzheng's book.
Mrs. Du went to the palace to complain before but failed. This time the Du family is working hard and will not let Xie Yunzheng have an easy time.
He said he has no teacher.
He does whatever he wants. Before, he left official duties for no reason and went to Yangzhou to pursue women.
Regretting the marriage for no reason ruined the life of a good girl.
This is unfaithful and unjust, not something a man would do!
In order to make his words more convincing, Princess Anhe's evil deeds were also listed one by one.
Including the incident of imprisoning Du Peifang a while ago, causing her to have a miscarriage.
Like mother, like son, there is a high possibility that Xie Yunzheng will kill Concubine Xu!
Taifu Du said at the time that he and his teacher and student Xie Yunzheng had ended their friendship.
He bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, please abide by the laws of the country and severely punish the murderer!" The court hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Many people did not expect that the first person to jump out to join Xie Yunzheng would be his former mentor.
Although he is very unfeeling towards the daughter of the Du family.
But to put it bluntly, the daughter of the Du family is not a flawless white lotus...
Master Xu was silent for a moment and then stood up.
"Committing a murder in the East Palace is too bad. If I can kill Concubine Xu today, will I be able to..."
Everyone understands the unfulfilled meaning.
"Master Xu's words are wrong. Now he only says that Concubine Xu is dead, but we haven't found out how she died. It's better not to rush to a conclusion."
"That's right, maybe it's His Highness's wedding, and Concubine Xu is depressed and can't think about it."
Mr. Xu was shocked by these remarks.
He secretly cursed that these people were the same as Xie Yunzheng, they just loved to mess around!
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He straightened his waist and asked: "What do you mean, the death of Concubine Xu is His Highness's fault?"
A civil servant who looked similar to Princess Anhe retorted with a smile.
"Doesn't that mean that Concubine Xu has an unstable mind and got into trouble? Why did it become His Highness's fault when Master Xu said it? Isn't this what you really think?"
Mr. Xu blew his beard and glared, "You are slanderous, then Xie Yunzheng is your nephew, so you are naturally targeting him! In my opinion, Xu Concubine's death must be thoroughly investigated, and you people are not allowed to participate, lest you show favoritism and let Xu The concubine died in vain!”
"Then you can't interfere. Who knows whether you will do something dirty and falsely judge the case!"
"You are slandering!"
"..."
The two parties had different opinions and started to quarrel in the hall.
The prince's face was solemn, and when the quarrel was almost over, he pinched his eyebrows.
"I have a close friendship with Mr. Shilang, and I don't believe that he would do such a thing. But Xu died on Gu's wedding day. If we don't find out, I can't feel at ease."
Taifu Du saluted again, "Your Highness is wise!"
Mr. Xu's eyes fell on the prince and the tutor calmly.
The prince's eyes hesitated, looking like he still couldn't let go of Xie Yunzheng.
However, Taifu Du had a tough attitude and was presumably determined to take this opportunity to unseat Xie Yunzheng in order to avenge all the past grievances.
Master Xu's eyes flashed with a smile.
The hand under the official robe was gently caressing, but this matter alone might not be able to dissuade Xie Yunzheng.
If you add more fuel to the fire, even if you can't kill him completely, you can at least send him away.
Without a brave and victorious general in the capital, the situation is favorable to them...
Mr. Xu cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Dali Temple is responsible for investigating the case. However, I believe that we must choose an upright person to be responsible for monitoring the progress of the case. After all, this matter is not trivial and is related to your safety."
The prince's eyes moved slightly, "Does Lord Shangshu have a suitable candidate?"
Master Xu shook his head, "I have no idea, it's all up to Your Highness to make the decision."
The prince asked the tutor again, "What do you think should be done?"
Mr. Du pondered for a moment, "General Xiao has been at the border all year round and has no interaction with the Vice Minister, so he is a good choice."
Because of the prince's wedding, many officials who were abroad returned to Beijing.
Major General Xiao is one of them.
Mr. Xu's eyes lit up, and the muscles on his face jumped because of excitement.
Afraid of being seen as abnormal, I kept my posture lower.
The corners of the prince's mouth curled up without any trace.
But the courtiers all lowered their heads and no one noticed.
"Then just follow what Taifu said!"
Before the morning court ended, a eunuch suddenly rolled and crawled into the Jinluan Hall.
Shouting in a tearful voice, "Your Highness, the Emperor has passed away!"
"The Emperor passed away!"
