The first thousand one hundred and forty-five chapters calculation (two)
King Wuling was over sixty years old and a promiscuous man. In recent years, his health had deteriorated and he could not live for more than a few years. Furthermore, King Wuling had long since lost power, and no one would care if he lived longer or shorter.
But dying like this in the clan's mansion was a major event that shocked both the government and the public!
Prince Fenyang and Prince An went into the palace with ugly expressions to plead guilty: "...I was responsible for negligence in investigation and neglect of duty. Please forgive me and punish me!"
The dignified vassal king died in the clan's mansion without any explanation. Prince Fenyang and Prince An were indeed to blame.
When King Wuling was brought into the clan's mansion that day, he was carefully searched. But no one expected that King Wuling would hide poison in his teeth. And he died so "timely"...
Sheng Hong was also quite angry and scolded Fenyang County Prince An and Wang in a deep voice: "When King Wuling entered the clan's residence, why didn't he search more carefully?"
Prince Fenyang looked ashamed: "I was careless."
Who would have thought that King Wuling had the will to die?
King An rushed to say: "I am responsible for the search. If the emperor wants to punish me, just punish me."
Sheng Hong looked at each other angrily and snorted coldly: "Of course I will be punished, and I will be severely punished! You first go to arrange King Wuling's funeral and appease King Wuling's children and grandchildren. As for the punishment, we will decide after the matter calms down!"
The death of King Wuling is undoubtedly a scandal for the royal family. The crown prince ceremony is approaching, but if something like this happens, how can the Tian family lose face?
Furthermore, dead people are unlucky after all. There were already rumors that were unfavorable to A Luo, but now, there is even more talk.
How can Sheng Hong not be angry?
King An was so embarrassed by the scolding that he did not dare to raise his head and responded in a low voice.
…
The person is dead, and there is no evidence of his death.
Brother Ting can't argue anymore.
Brother Ting's eyes were red with anger. The tall and handsome eighteen-year-old boy knelt upright in the Jinluan Palace, filled with the anger of being wronged: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, I swear to God that I really have never done this."
Without saying a word, brother Lin knelt down beside brother Ting and said loudly: "My nephew is willing to vouch for cousin Ting! Someone must be behind this matter and framed the blame on cousin Ting! My nephew, please seven
Uncle, investigate this matter thoroughly, find out the mastermind behind it, and restore cousin Ting’s innocence!"
Brother Ji hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and opened his mouth to intercede for Brother Ting: "Uncle Qi, my nephew also thinks that there is some secret behind this matter. Please investigate thoroughly!"
There is a special meaning in this sentence, and it is quite remarkable.
Brother Lin was keenly aware of the accusations and malice hidden in it. While shocked and heartbroken, a flash of realization suddenly flashed through him.
It turned out that this game was not aimed at Brother Ting, but at him...
Sheng Hong's attitude toward his three nephews was obviously colder and more distant than before: "I have my own opinion on this matter, so you three don't have to think too much about it."
After pausing for a moment, he said coldly: "I will be aware of it and will not let anyone be wronged and wronged in vain. I will never be lenient to those who are guilty of it!"
His tone was unprecedentedly cold and stern.
Brother Ji and the three of them felt shocked at the same time and responded in unison.
A Luo pursed her lips and glanced at the three cousins kneeling on the ground, the unknown anger in her heart getting stronger and stronger.
The harmony and friendship between brother and sister was indeed just an illusion. No matter how deep the tip of the knife was hidden, it still showed its edge. It didn't hurt her, but it hurt her heart.
Sheng Hong glanced at A Luo and softened his voice: "A Luo, you don't have to worry about these things. In a few days, there will be the crown prince canonization ceremony. You just need to familiarize yourself with the canonization process and prepare for the canonization ceremony."
If it were three years ago, Ah Luo would have been angry and loudly accusing her. Today, after three years of experience in court, Ah Luo is much calmer. She suppressed her anger and whispered.
…
Xie Mingxi, who was in the harem, soon learned of this, her face sank, and there was a hint of coldness in the corner of her mouth.
Gu Shanchang, who was familiar with Xie Mingxi's temperament, could tell at a glance that Xie Mingxi was really angry, and sighed in a low voice: "A Luo's canonization ceremony is approaching. At this time, even if I am angry in my heart, I will tolerate it for the time being.
"
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed coldly: "The people behind the scenes deliberately chose this time to take action, expecting that we would hold back. It's a good plan."
Gu Shanchang thought about this matter carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he frowned: "How can we continue to investigate this matter once King Wuling is dead?"
The dead are great, and they are buried in peace.
No matter whether Brother Ting is unjust or not, or whether there is an inside story involved, if we keep an eye on the Wuling Palace to investigate to the end, the emperor and the empress will always have a reputation of being mean and unfeeling, and Yu Aluo's reputation as a virtuous prince will also be damaged.
The best way at the moment is to suppress the matter and not mention it. It is not too late to investigate slowly and carefully in the future.
Xie Mingxi listened to Gu Shanchang's analysis and twitched her lips: "Why bother? I have another way to deal with it. Master will know it in a few days."
Chief Gu Shanchang was not proficient in political affairs, and he was even less interested in conspiracies and intrigues. He nodded when he heard the words and did not inquire further.
On the other hand, Jiaofang Hall quickly became lively.
First, Princess Wuling, who was in her sixties, entered the palace and cried a lot with the support of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.
The white-haired Princess Wuling, who was old enough to be Xie Mingxi's grandmother, knelt down on the ground and cried heartbrokenly, begging Queen Xie to make the decision for the Wuling Palace. Several other women also kept wiping away tears.
Xie Mingxi has never been an easy persimmon, and said to the wailing Princess Wuling: "Prince Wuling took poison and committed suicide because of fear of crime. The emperor ordered the royal family to bury Prince Wuling generously, but he did not hold Prince Wuling responsible for his crimes anymore. Since you are unwilling to do so,
, King Wuling will not bury him for the time being, and will bury him after the matter is found out!"
Princess Wuling: "..."
Princess Wuling seemed to have had her neck stepped on, and her crying suddenly stopped. The other women did not dare to cry anymore.
Before Princess Wuling could tremble and kowtow to plead for mercy, Xie Mingxi continued coldly: "You all know very well what King Wuling has done behind his back. Based on this alone, King Wuling is more than worthy of death."
"You guys should go back home now so that you can prepare for the funeral. Otherwise, I don't need to worry about any human dignity."
Princess Wuling did not dare to make any more noise and had to resign.
Xie Mingxi sent Princess Wuling and others back home with a few words.
At this time, it was getting late and it was time for dinner.
Xie Mingxi was about to order the meal to be passed on when Congyu came to report: "Queen Qi, the Princess of Fujian has come to ask for an audience."
The death of King Wuling involved both Ting and Lin. Yin Xiaoxiao was unavoidably anxious.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "Please come in, Princess Fujian."
After a while, Yin Xiaoxiao entered the Jiaofang Hall.
In just one day, Yin Xiaoxiao's face turned frosty, and her pretty face was filled with anxiety and exhaustion.
Meeting Xie Mingxi, Yin Xiaoxiao first gave a wry smile, and then whispered: "Seventh younger brother and sister, I don't have to beat around the bush in front of you. I entered the palace to defend Brother Lin!"
