Chapter six hundred and seventy first shock (three)
"Changping!"
Before Xiao Yuhan could say anything, Empress Yu shouted angrily with a livid face: "Don't be rude to Mrs. Xiao!"
"No one knows what happened to the prince-in-law's injury. Everyone knows that you are worried and anxious. But you cannot blame others for it."
Princess Changping was a beautiful woman and was favored by everyone. Especially Queen Yu, who loved her very much and never scolded her in front of everyone.
Princess Changping was already sad and grieving, and then being scolded by Queen Yu in public was both sad and embarrassing, and she burst into tears.
Xiao Yuhan was already worried and frightened. He couldn't sit still at this moment. He stood up and said, "Please calm down, Queen Mother!"
"Gu's consort was suddenly injured, and the severity of the injury is still unknown. The emperor's sister is worried, and she doesn't know how anxious she is. She spoke in a more serious tone, which is human nature. My daughter-in-law definitely has no intention of blaming her. I beg the queen to calm down!"
Empress Yu still had an angry look on her face: "No matter how anxious Changping is, he shouldn't say such ignorant words. If someone listens to him, wouldn't he become suspicious of the prince?"
"The prince is honest and gentle, and would never do such a cruel thing!"
"Who dares to doubt the prince! I will be the first to spare him!"
Ginger is indeed still spicy!
These words made all the princes and concubines look at each other in shock, and the back of Xiao Yuhan's ears burned as red as fire.
The feeling of unspeakable injustice, like being slapped hard twice, was stuck in her chest. If she hadn't had some self-control, she would have almost cried on the spot.
Xie Mingxi saw it and felt a little helpless.
How can you be so thin-skinned!
Xiao Yuhan is still too young and immature, and is far from a match for Empress Yu!
"What the Queen Mother said is true."
Xie Mingxi agreed righteously: "My daughter-in-law was also very surprised when she heard about this incident. If Gu's death was not an accident, the mastermind behind this is so sinister and vicious."
"My daughter-in-law implores my mother to investigate this matter thoroughly! Find out who is secretly plotting to murder Prince Consort Gu! Only by cutting this man into pieces can we relieve the hatred in our hearts!"
Xiao Yuhan: "..."
Princess Changping: "..."
That’s right! That’s how it is. It’s one thing what you think in your heart, but you have to be able to hold it up on your face!
Looking at her daughter-in-law Xie Mingxi, who had a stern look on her face, Queen Yu felt a subtle hint of appreciation and approval in her heart, and her expression softened slightly: "How it is, I will tell you when everyone returns to the palace."
"You should all go back to your bedrooms and wait!"
All the princes and concubines stood up and left together.
…
Xiao Yuhan's face was a little pale, his breath was unsteady, and his feet were a little weak.
After leaving the Jiaofang Palace, Xiao Yuhan did not return to the East Palace. Instead, he held Xie Mingxi's hand and said, "Seventh brother and sister, I haven't seen A Luo for a few days. Let me go to Fulin Palace with you to meet her."
Meeting A Luo was obviously just an excuse.
Xiao Yuhan was feeling confused and wanted to talk to her in private about Gu Qing's injury.
Xie Mingxi understood clearly and held Xiao Yuhan's hand with her backhand: "Okay."
Li Xiangru glanced at Xiao Yuhan thoughtfully and reminded lightly: "After this incident, I'm afraid that your highnesses may be a little late in returning to the palace."
Xiao Yuhan replied without turning his head: "Since my mother is here in the palace, you and I don't need to worry about this."
Li Xiangru choked for a while, snorted angrily and left.
Yin Xiaoxiao was holding back her words, but she didn't know what to say. The fifth prince and the third prince were at odds with each other, and from a political standpoint, she was far less close than Xie Mingxi and Xiao Yuhan.
The deep friendship of the past is still there.
It's a pity that she and Xiao Yuhan can talk less and less.
Yin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything after all, and returned to her bedroom sadly.
Xiao Yuhan had no intention of caring about Yin Xiaoxiao's thoughts at this time. He entered Fulin Palace in silence all the way. After following Xie Mingxi into the inner room, he said with red eyes: "Seventh younger brother and sister, I feel quite uneasy in my heart."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and then opened her mouth to poke Xiao Yuhan's sore spot: "Do you also think that the prince murdered Gu's consort?"
Xiao Yuhan's words of denial seemed feeble: "Your Highness will not be so cruel!"
Xie Mingxi chuckled: "What kind of cruelty is this? You are so cruel, you might as well attack the queen mother and the emperor sister directly!"
Xiao Yuhan: "..."
Xiao Yuhan was choked to the point of being completely speechless.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xiao Yuhan's gentle and elegant face, and said calmly: "Sister-in-law of the Third Emperor, you are the Crown Princess, and in a while, you will be the Queen of the Middle Palace."
"If you have always been so soft-hearted and timid, there is no need to compete with the queen. It would be better to surrender as soon as possible and give up all the power that belongs to you."
Xiao Yuhan's face turned red and he couldn't say even a single word of what he wanted to say.
Born into a distinguished family, she married the third prince, became the crown princess, and will soon be the Queen of Da Qi.
To say that she has no ambition for power is obviously a lie. However, she has had this temperament since she was a child, and it is not easy to completely change it...
Xie Mingxi's slightly cold voice sounded in her ears: "If you are unwilling, you can only fight for it yourself!"
"Don't say that the prince didn't murder Prince Consort Gu. Even if he had murderous intentions, you have to be of the same mind as the prince. Work with the prince to deal with all his enemies."
"His enemy is your enemy."
"Husband and wife are one body. When others deal with the prince, they will never spare you."
"I shouldn't have said these words. Since you are here today, I will tell you everything that comes from my heart. What you want to do in the future can only be decided by you."
…
Xiao Yuhan was full of panic when he arrived, and was completely lost when he left.
After Xie Mingxi said those outrageous words, nothing seemed strange at all.
Xie Mingxi held A Luo in her arms, fed her baby daughter well, and then ordered: "Everyone should stay in Fulin Palace and are not allowed to go out at will. If anyone violates the order, I will not be lenient."
Xianghui and others obeyed the order solemnly.
The waiting time is the most difficult.
But there is no point in being anxious and anxious. All we can do is be patient and wait slowly.
Everyone waited from day to night, and then stayed up until noon the next day before the third prince and his entourage returned to the palace.
The third prince looked haggard and ugly. He knelt in front of Queen Yu and apologized: "It's all my sons and ministers who were careless and took advantage of the villain."
"The horses ridden by the sons and others were secretly tampered with. On the way, several horses screamed and went crazy at the same time. The sons were quite agile and jumped off the horses in time. The guards shot the crazy horses with arrows.
Death. My sons and ministers are just making a false alarm."
"Gu's reaction was a little slow and he was accidentally thrown off the horse. He was almost hit in the chest by the horse's hoof."
"The Seventh Emperor's brother reacted quickly and jumped over to drag Gu's consort. The horse's hoof hit Gu's right leg, and Gu was seriously injured. Fortunately, he survived!"
