Xie Mingxi's expression suddenly changed, she stood up and her voice was a bit colder: "What on earth is going on?"
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't sit still anymore, stood up suddenly, and asked like a barrage of questions: "Why did the horse suddenly startle during the journey? How injured is Gu's consort? Is his life in danger?"
Xiang Hui looked bitter: "When I received the news, I hurried over to report it. Everything I know has been reported. I don't know anything else."
Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao looked at each other and saw the surprise and heaviness in each other's eyes.
Princess Changping was arrogant and domineering, but Consort Gu was as gentle as jade and a humble gentleman. Everyone had a good impression of Consort Gu. No one expected that something would happen to Consort Gu suddenly!
Was this an "accident" or was it done intentionally?
How angry and sad would Princess Changping be when she heard the bad news?
How will Queen Yu react?
"Seventh younger brother and sister, let's go to Jiaofang Palace immediately!" Yin Xiaoxiao frowned and whispered.
Xie Mingxi hummed and reminded her specifically: "Let the nanny hold the child, and don't take it to Jiaofang Palace."
To prevent the thunder in Jiaofang Palace from frightening the children.
…
Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao hurried to the outside of Jiaofang Hall.
Xiao Yuhan had obviously received the news and came one step earlier than the two of them. Zhao Changqing had also arrived, with a worried look on his face. Both of them stood outside the palace and failed to enter.
"Fifth brother and sister, seventh brother and sister, you two are here just in time." Xiao Yuhan frowned tightly, his face full of worry and eagerness, and he was definitely not faking: "Let's ask to see our mother and the emperor's sister together!"
Xie Mingxi glanced at her and asked softly: "Are the Queen Mother and Imperial Sister unwilling to see us?"
Otherwise, with Xiao Yuhan's current status, who would dare to stop her outside Jiaofang Hall?
A hint of astringency flashed across Xiao Yuhan's face, and he nodded slightly.
Zhao Changqing, who had always been tactful, was really anxious, and he couldn't help but lose some sense in his words: "The Queen Mother must have suspected that someone was secretly plotting to kill Prince Consort Gu!"
Otherwise, why don’t we see the Crown Princess Xiao Yuhan?
Xiao Yuhan looked a little stiff.
Not to mention Zhao Changqing's secret suspicions, when she suddenly heard the bad news, her first reaction was "Maybe the third prince is a murderer who has a grudge in his heart"...
"Sister-in-law of the Second Emperor, be careful!" Xie Mingxi's cool voice sounded. The volume was not high, but it was filled with alarming coolness: "How can you make random suspicions about this kind of thing! If it reaches the mother's mouth, it will arouse her suspicion or anger.
, how can the second emperor’s sister-in-law be able to take on this responsibility?”
Zhao Changqing was speechless, and looked at Xie Mingxi's dark eyes for a moment, and his heart suddenly trembled: "What the seventh brother and sister said is that I was talking nonsense in a fit of passion. Please don't take it to heart."
Xiao Yuhan was so distraught that he had no time to engage in a legal battle with Zhao Changqing.
Xie Mingxi twitched the corners of her lips and said calmly: "You can eat more food, but you shouldn't talk too much. We will have to be more cautious when we meet our mother later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiangru's familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Why are you all standing here? Why don't you go into Jiaofang Palace?"
The fourth prince's palace was a little far away, and Li Xiangru arrived a few steps late. Along the way, Li Xiangru's cheeks were red and his breathing was quick and restless: "Is Gu's consort in danger for his life?"
No one can answer this question.
…
How seriously was Gu Qing injured?
Are you dead or alive now?
Princess Changping's whole body was trembling, her face was as miserable as paper, without blood. Tears kept falling from her eyes, and she murmured in her mouth: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother! Brother Qing...has he already..."
Is he already dead?
The last two words were heavy and obscure on the tip of Princess Changping's tongue, and she couldn't spit them out.
From the moment she heard the bad news, Princess Changping felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She burst into tears and has not come back to her senses until now.
Queen Yu was also shocked and heartbroken.
Gu Qing is the nephew of the eldest son of Gu Shan, who Queen Yu watched grow up. Gu Qing, a gentle, filial and considerate person, is second only to Princess Changping in Queen Yu's heart.
Who is it that is ruthless enough to kill Gu Qing?
Empress Yu's eyes flashed with dark fire, which made people shudder at a glance: "Changping, calm down first! Things have already happened. It will be useless to cry or be sad. Wipe your tears first!"
Princess Changping cried and sighed, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears. But the more tears she wiped, she couldn't help but threw herself into the arms of Queen Yu. She let out a heart-rending scream and howled.
"Mother, my heart hurts so much, I feel so uncomfortable, and I'm so worried. If something happens to Brother Qing, I won't be able to survive. Mother..."
A hint of sorrow flashed in Queen Yu's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and patted Princess Changping on the back: "Don't cry. Ah Qing was born with good fortune and is by no means a short-lived person. He will be fine if he is injured and recuperates for a while.
.”
"The queen mother promises you that she will definitely find out the person who caused the trouble in secret and make him regret his mistake!"
"Ms. Xiao and others are outside, you must be restrained and forbearing. Don't ask nonsense questions!"
Princess Changping suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red, like a she-wolf about to eat people: "It must be Sheng Che! It must be him! He holds a grudge for the death of Concubine Shu, and he doesn't dare to attack our mother and daughter, so he wants to kill us.
Brother Qing’s life!”
An extremely cold light flashed in Queen Yu's eyes, and her voice was bone-chilling: "Yes or no, we don't know at this time. How can we just say that the prince did it without any evidence or evidence?"
"Zhilan, go and announce that Xiao and others have entered the palace!"
Zhilan agreed softly and quickly withdrew.
…
After a while, all the princes and concubines entered the main hall.
Naturally, the princes and concubines were headed by Xiao Yuhan, and the eldest Zhao Changqing followed closely behind Xiao Yuhan.
"My daughter-in-law has met her mother!" All the princes and concubines greeted her in unison.
Empress Yu didn't want to talk much and simply said: "No courtesy."
Princess Changping stopped crying and stared at Xiao Yuhan with a pair of red and swollen eyes. The stare made Xiao Yuhan feel cold in his heart.
Xiao Yuhan couldn't back down, so he opened his mouth and said: "My daughter-in-law was shocked to hear the news that the prince-in-law fell from his horse and was injured. She felt uneasy and came here specifically to inquire. I wonder how the prince-in-law is doing now?"
Empress Yu sighed softly: "I don't know the specific situation. The personal guard who came to report the news only said that the consort was seriously injured. Fortunately, there was an imperial doctor accompanying him and he was able to treat him in time. I think there is no fear for his life."
The last sentence was obviously to comfort Princess Changping.
Princess Changping's heart ached, grief flashed in her eyes, she bit her lips hard, and tears of disappointment welled up again.
Xiao Yuhan also sighed softly: "My daughter-in-law did not expect such an accident."
Princess Changping was so angry that she yelled hoarsely: "Ms. Xiao, stop crying like a cat and pretending to be compassionate!"
