Chu Yu looked at Fourth Master with wide eyes in shock.
The Fourth Master added: "The expressions on the faces of the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine are a little strange today, and they look a little unusual."
Chu Yu frowned fiercely. Recently, the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Da Fujin.
The prince would ask the two of them to visit Da Fujin from time to time. If this matter was related to them, I don't know what the situation would be like when the elder brother knew about it.
"We'd better be careful and don't let these fires burn us."
The fourth master nodded slightly, then frowned slightly, feeling that something was missing.
…
On the day of Da Fujin's funeral, the sky was overcast and dark, with goose-feather snowflakes flying wildly. The entire Zhijun Prince's Mansion was white and extremely lonely.
Chu Yu glanced at Prince Zhi from a distance, as if half of his soul had been drained out.
He no longer looked as arrogant and high-spirited as usual. He just knelt there quietly, burning the paper every now and then, looking at the coffin silently, as if everything around him was following him.
There is no connection whatsoever.
Chu Yu had never seen such Prince Zhi before. In his memory, this person always spoke with his chin raised, with a hint of arrogance, unreasonableness and rebelliousness.
Now that he was so quiet, Chu Yu noticed his face for the first time.
Suddenly I understood why there were so many women in the capital flocking to Prince Zhi.
It is said by later generations that Prince Zhi was the most handsome son of Emperor Kangxi.
Now it does seem that some of his youthful demeanor can be seen.
Perhaps, many years ago, Prince Zhijun and Dafujin also had their own stories.
While she was lost in thought, Er Gege from the palace suddenly came to her and bowed: "Fourth Aunt, please have some tea."
After hearing this, Chu Yu immediately turned around and looked over, only to see Er Gege with red eyes, serving tea to her.
Chu Yu immediately took the tea and said, "Good boy, I don't need you to take care of my fourth aunt here. You should hurry up and get busy."
Er Gege heard what Chu Yu said, but she didn't refuse. She helped herself up and left.
Chu Yu looked at the child's back and sighed again.
With Prince Zhi looking like this now, I don't think I can count on him for a while.
He doesn't usually have a favorite concubine. Fortunately, the princesses in the Zhijun Prince's Mansion are now quite young. If not, there wouldn't even be anyone in charge.
Da Gege and Er Gege handled these trivial matters quite smoothly.
It's just that the children have become thinner.
Also, who can bear the loss of a young mother?
Time flies by so fast, and in a blink of an eye, winter turns to spring, and the willow trees sprout their buds again.
Dafujin's death seemed to have no impact on the people in the palace.
When Chu Yu went to the palace to visit Concubine De, she accidentally met the crown prince and crown princess.
The Crown Princess smiled sweetly and spoke to Chu Yu. Chu Yu couldn't help but think of the fourth master's words in his mind. The Fourth Master said that the Crown Princess was not normal on the day Da Fujin gave birth.
At that moment, she secretly wondered what role the Crown Princess played in it.
"Did the fourth brother and sister bring a lot of meals to the imperial concubine again?" The princess looked at the food box behind Chu Yu with a smile.
The prince also looked over at this moment.
Chu Yu smiled and nodded and said: "The Crown Princess is exactly what you said. If you don't dislike it, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess can take some back."
After hearing this, the Crown Princess subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly she heard the Crown Prince say: "Okay, thank you to the fourth brother and sister."
The prince suddenly interrupted. The princess glanced at the prince in surprise, then smiled sheepishly and said, "That's really troublesome for the fourth younger brother and sister."
Chu Yu noticed the way the prince looked at her, frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "It's just some simple food, it's not troublesome, as long as the prince and the princess don't dislike it." After that, look at it.
He glanced at Tianqi beside him.
Qian Qian immediately took a food box and handed it to the girl in front of the princess.
Chu Yu then bowed to the two of them and said: "In this way, I won't disturb the prince and the princess's enjoyment. Now I have to visit E Niang."
"Fourth brother and sister, please hurry up and get busy. Don't let the imperial concubine wait too long." The prince said humbly and politely, and looked at Chu Yu deeply.
Chu Yu nodded again, and then led his people to Yonghe Palace.
"Tianqi, do you think the prince's face seems to be very ugly?" Chu Yu whispered as he walked a little further away.
Tian Qi nodded: "Master, my servant doesn't look good when he looks at the prince. It seems like... a symptom of not sleeping for many days."
"How many days have you been awake?"
"Well, worrying too much and staying up all night may lead to a sallow complexion and blue eyes.
However, I haven’t felt the pulse, so I don’t dare to confirm it yet. If it’s poisoning or liver and spleen strain, the look on his face will be like this.”
After hearing this, Chu Yu nodded, but did not take this matter to heart.
But when Fourth Master came back in the evening, he brought some news.
"The prince was assassinated when he went out to inspect the palace in the afternoon."
Chu Yu was shocked when he heard this. He had talked to the prince early in the morning, so why did something happen in the afternoon?
"Sir, how is the prince's injury?"
"The lower abdomen was injured and he was poisoned. He is already unconscious."
After hearing this, Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"Master, who did it? Have you found out?"
For some reason, Chu Yu immediately thought of Prince Zhi.
The Great Fortune Jin is gone. With Prince Zhi holding the Great Fortune Jin in the palm of his hand, will he really give up so willingly?
Both she and the fourth master knew that this matter was related to the people in the prince's backyard. Prince Zhi had not made any movement until now, which was a bit quiet and strange.
Suddenly, Chu Yu remembered something, her pupils shrank, she grabbed the fourth master's sleeve and said, "Sir, my sister-in-law's hundred days have just been completed..."
She didn't say anything else, she just felt extremely shocked.
How could the fourth master not guess what Chu Yu was thinking?
The deceased must be liberated within a hundred days, and those close to him must fast, have sexual intercourse, and refrain from killing.
This is beneficial to the deceased, but doing otherwise is detrimental to merit.
If his elder brother did it, he would most likely choose to do it after daylight.
The fourth master's brows were also furrowed. In fact, he was also doubting his elder brother, but there was no evidence yet.
"Today, only a few dead soldiers have been captured. Those who were bitten to death were sent by their leader Lin to assassinate the prince. If no one was investigated, they all committed suicide. Even if they wanted to investigate, there is no way to investigate now.
rise.
The second brother was seriously injured and is not out of danger now. It is obvious that the other party is planning to kill him."
