His eyes were reddish, and he was sitting in the room in a daze. His whole body was as motionless as a stone sculpture.
When Yu Wenhao came in and saw his appearance, he felt that he was really affectionate towards Concubine Liu.
Yu Wenhao stepped forward and sat down, "Brother, my condolences!"
Prince Ji slowly turned his head over, his eyes gradually became less dull, and he said in a tired voice: "You're here!"
"Well, my father ordered me to come and take a look." He didn't say that he was here to investigate.
Prince Ji understood. He sat up straight and his expression returned to normal, "If you have anything to ask, just ask. I believe you have asked everyone in the house."
"Except my sister-in-law, I asked everyone." Yu Wenhao said.
There was no emotion in Prince Ji's eyes, and he said calmly: "She has been sick and can't care about the affairs of the house. It's useless to ask her, she doesn't know anything."
Yu Wenhao nodded, "I heard from the maid next to the concubine that before the incident, the concubine received a letter from her father, saying that she could not bear the pain of the wilderness and wanted to ask her eldest brother to intercede with her father on her behalf."
Prince Ji nodded casually, "There is such a thing, but I did not agree. Her father was convicted and deserved it. I really can't plead with my father, so I also reprimanded her not to mention this matter again."
"Eldest brother scolded her?"
King Ji frowned deeply and seemed a little annoyed, "Perhaps my words were too strong, which caused her to commit suicide."
"Eldest brother thinks she is seeking suicide?" Yu Wenhao asked.
King Ji looked at Yu Wenhao, "Didn't you commit suicide? Could it be that you were murdered?"
Yu Wenhao said: "It's still under investigation."
King Ji raised his hand tiredly, "Check it."
"Besides this incident, I wonder if the concubine has encountered any other unpleasant things?" Yu Wenhao asked.
King Ji smiled coldly, "Unpleasant things? What other unpleasant things can happen? She is pregnant with my child. If a son is born, the mother will be more valuable than the son. What can't she think about?"
"Yes, she is pregnant. It seems that the mother is more valuable than the child. Why would she seek suicide?" Yu Wenhao asked in return.
Prince Ji stared at him, "Is it possible that I killed her when I saw she was pregnant? Lao Wu, do you want to say that?"
"The eldest brother will not do this." Yu Wenhao said softly, "The eldest brother only has two daughters. He has been looking forward to a son for a long time. The concubine is pregnant. There is no one who is happiest than the eldest brother."
Prince Ji was slightly annoyed and said, "Since you know, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Big brother can't do it, but there's no guarantee that others can't." Yu Wenhao said it very straightforwardly.
"Then go and investigate. If you find out who the murderer is, do it immediately!" King Ji slapped the table, stood up, and walked away coldly.
Yu Wenhao looked at King Ji's back. He was really angry, very angry. This anger was definitely not because he asked a few more questions.
He was angry about the whole thing.
He was angry because he had lost a child, possibly a son.
Asked King Ji, and then asked Princess Ji.
Knowing that Princess Ji was suffering from tuberculosis, before Yu Wenhao came, he asked Yuan Qingling for some masks, and went in with the official of Jingzhao Mansion to ask in person.
Princess Ji's condition is not serious, she just has a bad cough.
His whole body was very sallow, perhaps because he lost his appetite after taking medicine, and he also lost a lot of weight.
She had cried and her eyes were red and swollen.
Before Yu Wenhao could ask, she choked out: "Why on earth is this happening? Was she killed by someone or committed suicide? There is no reason for her to commit suicide. She is pregnant, and she is dying when she sees me.
She won't commit suicide within a few years, so who harmed her?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her tearful and grief-stricken look without any emotion. He just asked in a routine manner: "When was the last time that sister-in-law saw Concubine Liu?"
Princess Ji wiped her tears with her handkerchief, "The day before yesterday, she came to serve the soup. At that time, I didn't know she was pregnant, otherwise I would never let her in. She herself was also very confused. She didn't know anything about such a big thing as pregnancy.
aware."
"When did the concubine learn that she was pregnant?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"The day before yesterday, the maid came over and reported that she was feeling unwell, suffering from nausea and vomiting, so she asked a doctor to diagnose her pulse."
"Did you inform your sister-in-law at that time?"
Princess Ji coughed, nodded and said, "Yes, I came to report it at that time. I was so happy that I gave her many things and asked the doctor to give her a good birth and raise the baby."
Yu Wenhao looked at the catcher, who said: "Yes, I asked the people below me in my humble position. After the concubine learned that she was pregnant, Princess Ji rewarded her with many things. The day matched, it was the day before yesterday."
Yu Wenhao said: "Well, then there is nothing to ask. Sister-in-law, please take a good rest. Take your leave."
"Old Wu, please go slowly. I'm sorry that I can't see you off anymore." Princess Ji said sadly. Yu Wenhao walked far away and heard her coughing.
Returning to the Yamen, the arrester came forward to report: "Your Majesty, when I was patrolling the mansion, I heard the mother-in-law next to the concubine crying and saying that the princess clearly promised that the concubine would work for Mr. Liu, so the concubine will definitely
It’s impossible to commit suicide because of Mr. Liu’s affairs.”
"What did grandma tell you?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"No, she was sitting there and told a maid. When Beizhi walked in to ask questions, she didn't know what to say. Beizhi didn't know how the prince made the decision, so he didn't dare to take anyone."
Yu Wenhao pressed his hands and said, "Concubine Liu committed suicide."
The head catcher was shocked, "She committed suicide? She was pregnant, and the princess also agreed to work for her father's affairs. Why did she commit suicide? Also, does the prince have evidence to prove that she committed suicide?"
Fu Cheng also looked at Yu Wenhao. He knew that the prince would never make unfounded guesses. If he could say it, it must be well-founded.
Yu Wenhao said: "After on-site inspection, there were only her footprints on the grassland by the lake where she fell into the water. The subsequent salvage and rescue efforts were from the other side. This is one. Second, she was pregnant, and the grandmother beside her
The maid must follow closely, unless she insists on walking alone and avoids the servants. This can be confirmed by the girl's confession. She did not allow anyone to follow her at that time. Thirdly, it happened that the princess agreed to work for her father's affairs, but not
Prince Ji and Concubine Liu’s father, it has been three years since he was convicted of a crime. Now he is writing to ask for help. He must be seriously ill or something happened, and Concubine Liu is a filial person..."
Even if he didn't say what he said next, even the Fu Cheng and the head catcher could guess it.
She was pregnant at this time, and if she gave birth to a son, it would directly threaten Princess Ji's status.
If Princess Ji has the ability to save her father, she can agree to it, but there will definitely be a price to pay.
Fu Cheng thought for a long time and said: "I'm afraid that Princess Ji may not want her life, but she just wants her to have an abortion."
The catcher said: "For a woman who has been alone for ten years, being pregnant is her only way out in the future. If the child is gone, she knows that she will never be able to get pregnant again. Even if she gets pregnant again, she will probably
It was the same as this time, so her heart was filled with despair."
Yu Wenhao nodded silently.
"Prince Ji may not know this." Fu Cheng looked at Yu Wenhao and said.
"So what if you know? He can't live without Princess Ji now." Yu Wenhao said calmly.
Fu Cheng smiled bitterly, "That's really useless. No matter how perfect Princess Ji's plans were for him, she never had a son." This chapter has been completed!
