First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 559 Please enter the urn (two more)

  Royal study room.

  Princess Ning'an sat beside the emperor, her expression dim.

  The emperor patted the back of her hand and said, “Don’t take it to your heart, the case always comes on the day when the truth is revealed.”

Princess Ning'an whispered: "I occasionally think, should I not come back? Back then, I had no eyes and refused to listen to the persuasion of the emperor's brother and the queen, and insisted on marrying away from the frontier fortress. As a result, I was entrusted with inhumane and killed dozens of borders Tens of thousands of people have suffered the war, and so many soldiers have lost their lives. When Your Majesty proposed to canonize me as the Princess Protector, I actually understood that I was not qualified."

  The emperor looked at her: "Ning'an..."

  Princess Ning'an met his gaze: "Brother Huang, listen to me."

  The emperor nodded helplessly: "Okay, you say."

  Princess Ning'an reproached herself and said: "My sinful body can be accepted by the royal family. It is the emperor's kindness and grace. Please stop mentioning the reward for me."

The emperor said with great heart: "This is not your fault. Regardless of whether you are there or not, the remnants of the previous dynasties will make trouble in Zhaoguo. You are just a poor person who was used by them. It is not you, there will be others, so don't blame yourself. Your words remind me, is it because I love you too much, making some people jealous and jealous, so I feel dissatisfied and cause many incidents?"

   Princess Ning'an did not say a word.

  The emperor comforted her and said: "I have my own opinions on this matter, and I will definitely not let you be wronged. You have heard nothing today, and I will find out the truth."

  Princess Ning'an's eye circles are a little red.

When the emperor saw her like this, he couldn't help thinking that when she was a child, Ning An was a lively and active child, and would not cry like an ordinary girl. When she was wronged, she would find a place where no one else would sit quietly. There, trying to hold back his tears.

  He finds Ning'an every time and makes Ning'an happy.

  Thinking of the past, the emperor felt even more distressed for Ning'an.

  I also don’t know how many times she has been alone in the frontier fortress in these years, hiding herself in a corner and secretly hurting herself. Has anyone found her? Does anyone care about her?

  The emperor called Grandpa Wei: "You go to the Criminal Ministry and let Xing Shangshu be silent. Don't disclose any information about this case for the time being."

"Yes."

  Gonggong Wei took the order.

  Naihe is too late.

  On the way from Wei Gonggong to the Xing Department, I heard someone talking about it.

   "Two little brothers, what were you talking about just now?" Grandpa Wei picked up the curtain of the car and stopped the two boys on the side of the road in a good voice.

  Since it is to be kept secret, his identity is not easy to reveal, he wears the clothes of an ordinary master.

  Thinking that he is a broad master in the capital, they told him what they had heard in the teahouse.

   "I heard that Xianleju colluded with the royal family and killed the soldiers who returned from the frontier fortress!"

   "Yes, is there such a thing?"

  Lao Jijiu knows that the speed of the spread of rumors depends entirely on the rumors themselves. It is not important to exaggerate or not, just spread widely!

   "Who killed?"

  "Gu Jiajun Young Master! Gu Changqing!"

   "Ahem!" Gonggong Wei almost didn't choke himself to death!

How did    get involved with Gu Changqing?

  Didn’t it say that the assassin was Miss Gu?

  And it was an attempted assassination!

   "You made a mistake? Gu Shizi is going to condolences the family members of the soldiers."

   "It was killed on the way out of the city! It was not far from Fengxian County. Someone came out from a nearby inn and saw the snow covered with corpses and blood!"

  That was obviously the killer of Miss Gu and Xianleju, who died in Xianleju!

  Who made up this, this, this!

   "Oh, it's too miserable, it's miserable! Gu Shizi heroically killed the enemy in the frontier fortress, but came back and was assassinated by the royal family. This is for fear that Gu Shizi might overpower him, so I must shed the grudge and kill the donkey!"

   "It's really chilling that I didn't die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the hands of my own."

   "It seems that I didn't die, I ran away."

   "Then Gu Shizi will hide in hiding from now on, right?"

  This is the first version that Mr. Wei heard.

  There is a second one.

  The previous content is similar. It is Gu Changqing who was assassinated out of the city. It was Xianleju who colluded with the royal family, but it was not that the royal family had killed the donkey. It was the royal princess who fell in love with Gu Changqing and wanted to recruit him as a messenger.

  Gu Changqing disagreed, and angered the princess, so she was violently retaliated against.

   "What's the mess!" Wei Gong's head was big.

  The third version is the most troublesome for Wei Gonggong. The victim is still Gu Changqing instead of Gu Jiao.

   "I heard it was the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

   "Didn't the remnants of the previous dynasty have all perished?"

   "It seems that a fish that slipped through the net has sneaked into the capital and colluded with Xianleju, to avenge Gu Shizi and Gu Jiajun!"

   "Poor Gu Shizi was seriously injured, life and death uncertain."

   "And I also heard that the royal family has detailed works, and the remnants of the previous dynasty are lurking in the palace."

"Hey, I heard something here. When the horse was killed by Gu Shizi, Princess Ning'an pleaded with Gu Shizi and let the horse run for himself in the snow-capped mountains. However, Gu Shizi was ignorant of the opposition of Princess Ning'an. He was killed on the spot."

   "Ah, could it be..."

  Grandpa Wei looked helplessly at the sky.

  It's over, this time it's all over.

  Once the news is disseminated, it is not so easy to withdraw it. Moreover, there is a saying that it is better to block it. The more the emperor does not allow the people to talk about it, the more people talk about it.

  If the emperor was a tyrant, it would be fine. Killing more than a hundred people, no one would dare to talk nonsense.

  He is not.

  This also led to the continued fermentation of the incident. By the night of the next day, almost the entire capital heard about Xianleju colluding with the royal family to assassinate Gu Changqing.

  Gu Changqing is not in the capital at the moment, and the emperor can't even call him out to clarify the truth.

  The emperor could choose to let Gu Jiao stand up and say that she was the one who was assassinated, but that meant that the assassination case of Xianleju was settled.

   Besides, is there a big difference between assassinating Gu Jiao and assassinating Gu Changqing?

  The difference in propagation speed is just that, as the young master of the Gu Jiajun, the son of Ding'an Houfu, Gu Changqing has a better reputation in the capital.

  Gu Jiao is too low-key.

  Her name is not enough to have a stunt.

  But the essence of the matter is the same.

  Furthermore, this matter is not a question of whether the victim is Gu Jiao or Gu Changqing, but a question of which royal family member is behind the scenes.

   "Princess, tea is overflowing." Lian'er reminded in the warm pavilion of Bixia Hall.

  Princess Ning'an looked at the tea spilled on the table, put down the teapot that had been poured for an unknown amount of time, and said, "Wipe it."

   "Yes." Lian'er took a rag and wiped off the water stains on the table little by little. "Princess, you have been upset these past two days. Did something happen?"

   "No, it's okay." Princess Ning An said.

  Bixia Palace was well protected by the emperor. No messy rumors were heard. Lian'er only thought that it was because of Huangfuxian.

  She persuaded: "Don't worry about the son, he will make him a little temperament. When he grows up, he will be sensible, and he will know how to honor you."

   Princess Ning'an said: "Lian'er, if one day you are taken away, will you betray me?"

  Lian'er solemnly said: "Of course not! Lian'er's life was picked up by the princess. Without a princess, there would be no Lian'er, and Lian'er would not betray the princess!"

   "Yes, my life is my life, how can you betray me?" Princess Ning'an recovered her previous look, she smiled, "You go to the small kitchen to see how the soup for the mother is going to be made."

  Lian'er went to the small kitchen, and when she came back she had an extra food container in her hand: “I’ve packed it for you.”

   Princess Ning'an took the food box and went to Renshou Palace.

  I never thought that Xiao Heng was there.

   Princess Ning'an looked at Xiao Heng in the study of Queen Mother Zhuang.

   Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "He is the Liu Lang whom I mentioned to you. Ning An hasn't met Liu Lang yet, right?"

   Princess Ning An was taken aback, and smiled slightly: "Ah, yes, I haven't seen it."

  Xiao Heng got up and bowed his hands in a salute: "Princess Ning'an."

  Princess Ning'an nodded as a gift in return.

  Queen Mother Zhuang sighed to Princess Ning'an: "Didn’t you let you stop cooking?"

   Princess Ning'an smiled and put the food box on the table: "This is the soup made by the cook of Bixia Hall."

   Queen Mother Zhuang motioned to Qin Gonggong to take over.

  "Come on, the minion." Gong Gong Qin opened the food box from Princess Ning'an and brought out the soup inside.

  Princess Ning'an smiled: "Then I'll go first, and I will come back tomorrow, and please peace with my mother."

   Princess Ning'an came out of the study, and heard the Queen Mother Zhuang say to Xiao Heng: "Go on."

  Xiao Heng said: "No, there are only those rumors heard by the people."

   Queen Mother Zhuang said: "To calm the rumors, only let the witness speak, can the witness wake up?"

  Xiao Heng: "She woke up."

   Queen Mother: "Didn't you get drunk for seven days? Waking up so soon?"

  Xiao Heng: "Jiaojiao has anti-drinking medicine in her hand. She woke up in the morning, but she could only speak in the afternoon."

  Queen Mother Zhuang: "She confessed to the main envoy behind the scenes?"

  Xiao Heng shook his head: "No, she refuses to say."

   "Have you used torture?"

   "I have used it, I have used all the penalties that can be used, my mouth is tight."

The Queen Mother hummed her nose: "If you don't work hard, you will come to the soft, if you don't work soft, you will rape. I don't believe that all of Xianleju are hard bones. You can buy someone and let her visit Hua Xiyao. To poison Hua Xiyao in the name of "He said it was a snack given to her by the young master. Hua Xiyao would not understand it."

  "Princess, your veil..." In the yard, a little court lady looked at Princess Ning'an in surprise and said.

  Princess Ning'an looked down at the torn veil in her hand, and smiled warmly: "It was scratched by a branch. I was thinking what should I do?"
