Prince Ping made a fuss in the mourning hall and stabbed Empress Xiao with a dagger?
When the news was sent to Jiaofang Hall, Queen Mother Yu was furious. She stood up suddenly, with an angry cold light in her eyes: "This scoundrel! How dare you commit murder in the mourning hall! How audacious!"
"Where is he now?"
The palace maid who came to deliver the letter was also full of panic, lying on the ground and not daring to raise her head: "To report to the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Prince Ping has been subdued and tied up and imprisoned in Jingrong Palace. However, His Royal Highness Prince Ping was too ferocious. In order to suppress him,
Your Highness is staying here, and the servants have to deal with it harshly. Your Highness’s right leg is injured..."
very good!
Gu Qing broke his right leg that day, and now he repaid it to Prince Ping.
Empress Dowager Yu snorted coldly, with a stern expression: "How is Empress Xiao's injury?"
The palace maid replied in a low voice: "The Queen's left shoulder was injured and she bled a lot. The imperial doctor has gone to treat the Queen."
The injury was on the left shoulder, and there seemed to be no life-threatening injuries.
Empress Dowager Yu's expression softened slightly, but before she could say anything, there were hurried footsteps at the door again.
"Mother!" Emperor Jian'an, who came in a hurry, was filled with anger and even forgot to salute: "I have received the news that King Ping stabbed the queen! He deliberately brought a dagger into the mourning hall, which was obviously premeditated. I must not take it lightly.
Spare him!"
Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Emperor Jian'an coldly: "How to punish Prince Ping will be discussed later. The Yi family and the emperor will go to see how the empress is injured first."
Instead of thinking about Xiao Yuhan who was assassinated, he was anxious to punish Prince Ping first!
I really want to trample all my brothers into the dust before I can give up and relieve my anger!
Only then did Emperor Jian'an realize that he had shown signs of being too eager, and he responded with a somewhat sarcastic yes. Then he asked about Xiao Yuhan's injury in a remedial manner: "Is Yuhan okay?"
Empress Dowager Yu said calmly: "The Ai family has just received the news. I don't know what happened to the Xiao family. Now I will go to Jingrong Palace to find out."
Compared with Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Jian'an was thousands of miles away!
In the past, Emperor Jianwen liked the fourth prince more than the third prince. She was always dissatisfied. Today, she had to admit that her vision was indeed not as accurate as Emperor Jianwen's.
Not to mention anything else, just this intolerable narrow-mindedness is enough to turn people off.
…
Empress Dowager Yu and Emperor Jian'an arrived at Jingrong Palace.
The unlucky Concubine Li could not live in peace even after her death. The mourning hall, which had been decorated for half a day, was now in chaos. The noble ladies who entered the palace to cry in mourning all looked frightened and uneasy.
Once Empress Dowager Yu arrived, all the noble ladies finally had a backbone and all came forward to pay their respects.
Queen Mother Yu glanced at her and said coldly: "Let's all get back together!"
After a pause, he continued: "Prince Ping lost his biological mother. His grief was excessive, and his words and deeds would lose control. Now that he has calmed down, you don't need to be too panicked."
All the ladies responded in unison, secretly speechless.
As expected of Queen Mother Yu!
The horrifying things like blood splattering in the mourning hall, according to Empress Dowager Yu, were just "excessive grief and a little out of control". They became the ones making a fuss!
Empress Dowager Yu's voice sounded faintly again: "You only need to know what is happening today. There is no need to make it public."
All the ladies said yes again and again.
My brother-in-law assassinated his sister-in-law. This is a scandal in the Tian family, and it is indeed indecent to publicize it.
Then again, since Emperor Jian'an ascended the throne, there has been less fratricide. One moment, the consort Gu Qing fell off his horse and was injured, another moment King Ning assassinated the King of Shu, and another moment Emperor Jian'an punished King Ning.
Everyone was dazzled by what they saw, and no one could tell the truth. What could not be expressed in words was the hidden worry of "I'm afraid there will be big trouble in the future."
Compared with this level of deep worry, the little battle in front of me is really nothing.
…
Xiao Yuhan was injured on his left shoulder and was bleeding a lot. After cleaning, bandaging and applying medicine, the bleeding was barely stopped. His elegant face was pale and there was no trace of blood.
Yin Xiaoxiao, with an angry look on his face, sat next to Xiao Yuhan, held Xiao Yuhan's uninjured hand firmly, gritted his teeth and whispered: "This Prince Ping usually seems quite polite. What the hell is going on today?"
?”
Entering the mourning hall with a dagger in his sleeve, he obviously came prepared.
Moreover, it was the hand that moved towards Xiao Yuhan.
Could it be that someone was secretly instigating King Ping?
Xiao Yuhan's lips were dry and his voice was low and weak: "There must be something behind this matter. When the emperor and his mother come, they will order people to investigate the matter strictly."
Yin Xiaoxiao moved her mouth, wanting to say something, but then swallowed it back.
She really couldn't bear to see Xiao Yuhan like this!
Xiao Yuhan seemed to notice something and looked up at Yin Xiaoxiao with a somewhat desolate look in his eyes: "Sister Yin, do you think I am weak and useless?"
In the palace, the queen had no real power and was just a pretty showpiece. If she was stabbed by King Ping, it would be up to Empress Dowager Yu and Emperor Jian'an to make the decision.
Yin Xiaoxiao was unwilling to stab Xiao Yuhan in the heart, and immediately opened her mouth and said: "Of course not. I just feel sorry for you."
I feel sorry for you that you are a queen, but you are like a puppet.
I feel sorry for you as you become more and more haggard and thin, and your face gradually loses its vitality.
I feel sorry for you that you are exhausted mentally and physically by this hateful court.
The two had known each other since childhood and knew each other very well. Yin Xiaoxiao said something distressed, and Xiao Yuhan already understood the meaning of the conversation. His nose suddenly felt sore, and his eyes flashed with water. They soon turned into tears and fell down his cheeks.
Yin Xiaoxiao also felt sad, stretched out her hand to wipe Xiao Yuhan's tears, and whispered: "Sister Xiao, please stop crying. As time goes by, it will always get better."
Xiao Yuhan choked with sobs and let out a sigh, but the tears fell more quickly.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door: "I have met the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
Empress Dowager Yu and Emperor Jian'an are here.
There was no time to hide the glint in Xiao Yuhan's eyes. Fortunately, she was injured today. Emperor Jian'an only thought that she was crying because of the unbearable pain from the injury.
Emperor Jian'an finally had a trace of conscience and stepped forward to wipe Xiao Yuhan's tears in person, feeling full of pity: "Yuhan, you have been frightened and suffered."
Xiao Yuhan held back tears of pain and responded in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Prince Ping would suddenly attack, and I was accidentally injured, which made the emperor worried."
Then, he said to Queen Mother Yu: "My daughter-in-law has made my mother worried."
Empress Dowager Yu's voice was quite gentle: "How can I blame you for this matter? Since you were injured, you can have a good life. There is no need for you to worry about everything in the palace."
Xiao Yuhan responded softly.
Before Yin Xiaoxiao had time to retreat, Emperor Jian'an was only a short distance away, and she felt quite uncomfortable. She quietly let go of her hand and took two steps back.
Emperor Jian'an quickly raised his head and glanced at Yin Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Yuhan lowered his head and did not notice it.
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at it, feeling a little strange in her heart, more of which was anger and displeasure.
His daughter-in-law was injured. If he didn't comfort his daughter-in-law, what would happen to her sister-in-law? Emperor Jian'an's thoughts became more and more weird and unpredictable.
