In the 20th year of Jian'an, on November 18th, the prince died and the court was in turmoil.

On November 19, the emperor announced that the late crown prince Zhai Xichen would be buried on the 25th, and that the crown prince's position would be tentatively discussed.

Youruo listened to the information Lu Rong collected from the people and analyzed the current situation in the court.

The prince, the fourth prince, is the son of the empress and is the legitimate prince. The second prince, Zhai Xiyu, is the son of Concubine De. After the prince, he has become the longest prince today.

The emperor's choice of prince is either his direct descendant or his eldest son.

But this is not absolute. No one can guess the emperor's thoughts.

The New Year was just over a month away, and Zhai Yuan used the New Year as an excuse to block the officials from re-registering the crown prince.

After the New Year, the court reopened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At that time, all officials went to court at the beginning of the new year. The content of the memorial was in no way related to the replacement of the crown prince.

Zhai Yuan may not be having a good time this year!

You Ruoxing was having lunch, and Lu Rong sat down to eat with her and said, "Miss, I didn't expect something really happened to the prince!"

A month ago, people rumored that the prince was seriously ill and coughing up blood. Lu Rong blindly asked if the prince would die, but it turned out to be true.

"Yes! You can set up a stall outside and become a goddess!" You Ruo glared at Lu Rong.

The prince's death was not an accident, it was a man-made assassination. However, the court was so chaotic that Zhai Yuan could not guard against it!

When Lu Rong heard Youruo's joke, she glared, "Miss, once the prince dies, as a member of the royal family, although the lady is a concubine, she is the prince's only woman. The lady also has to attend the funeral!"

Youruo nodded, "I know that!" I wonder if there will be any surprises during the prince's funeral.

After lunch, Youruo stayed in the room alone, with nothing to do, and thought of Lu Wanting.

Lying on the bed, Youruo entered the control of the spiritual world and penetrated into Lu Wanting's thoughts.

Youruo saw Lu Wanting's vision and stood beside the prince's body. She kept crying. The maid next to her comforted her and asked her to eat something. She said that the prince had cried all night and if she continued crying, her body would be damaged.

Bad advice.

Lu Wanting's sad mood was clearly felt by You Ruo.

Infected by sadness, Youruo opened his eyes upset.

After leaving Lu Wanting's spiritual world, You Ruo sat on the edge of the bed, her mind filled with confusion.

Lu Wanting was really sad about the death of the prince, but why did she poison the prince and even harm herself?

Who is so vicious that he wants to poison the East Palace and turn the court upside down?

The door was pushed open and Zhai Xiying walked in.

Youruo discovered that he would appear in Prince Ying's palace in recent days.

"Busy man, have you finished your work?" Youruo sarcastically said.

Zhai Xiying said nothing and stared at Youruo.

"Why do you look at me like that every time you come back, as if I've done something wrong again!" You Ruo rolled her eyes disdainfully.

Zhai Xiying finally spoke, "I have found out that a Miao Curse person has appeared in the capital!"

Youruo glanced at Zhai Xiying and said, "No nonsense? Who else could have cast the Heart-Losing Gu on Shen Mei before except Miao Curse Man?"

"Miao Curse Man is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Zhai Xiying stared at Youruo closely.

Seeing Zhai Xiying's suspicious eyes, she said coldly: "What? Do you suspect that I, Lu Batian, and Miao Curse are involved?"

"No!" If that were true, Zhai Xiying would have strangled Lu Youruo to death.

"Then why are you telling me this?" Are you asking for something from her again?

Zhai Xiying was silent for a while, "Always keep an eye on Lu Wanting!"

He believed that the princess was Lu Batian's son. Since the son was useless, she might be destroyed. And if Lu Wanting was destroyed, maybe there would be some clues!

"I just watched her for a while, and she was crying happily."

"Let's wait until after the funeral." Before the funeral, the people behind the scenes must have kept their composure and would not have alerted others to ruin the chess game.
