There was actually quite a bit more in the letter, but a large part of it was asking Liu Jingyu to take good care of herself in the future, saying that she had a kind heart and a bit of a gentle temperament. If she was just the legal wife of another family, it wouldn't be a big deal, but as the prince's legal wife, she had to be stronger, and sometimes that required some means.
The way His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behaves and behaves, he will surely be a benevolent monarch in the future, but it is because of this kindness that others have the opportunity to take advantage of him.
He could have paid more attention to his daughter's words and deeds, and helped her with advice, but many things did not allow her to do so. From time to time, the mansion would find people from the Northern Frontier, and it was obvious that these people might be plotting against the Prince's Mansion, but they chose to push the Liu Mansion into the spotlight.
Afterwards, they said that Liu Borui was of no use, but now everyone’s eyes were on the Liu Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion.
The assassination of the envoy from the Northern Frontier has now been traced back to the Liu Mansion. It seems that any disturbance in the Northern Frontier is related to the Liu Mansion and the Prince's Mansion.
Previously, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple had specially investigated the door and even wanted to bring Madam Liu to the yamen for interrogation. The more Madam Liu thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't bear it. If it was when Liu Jingyu was not married, she would definitely not be able to bear it, but now she had to endure it for the Prince's Mansion.
But Madam Liu was of a strong will and could not bear the humiliation. After much thought, she felt that she could not go on like this. The reputation of the Liu family was also the reputation of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, and she could not tolerate it.
So, this suicide incident happened.
Use her death to prove the innocence of the Prince's Mansion
At the end of the letter, Liu Jingyu was specifically instructed to take good care of herself and the prince, and to live in harmony with the prince.
Liu Jingyu was already in tears at the end, and could only murmur two words: "Mother, mother."
He fainted immediately.
The maid hurriedly supported Liu Jingyu.
"Help the Crown Princess to go to the side room to rest." Lord Liu said hurriedly.
The maid carefully helped Liu Jingyu leave.
"Your Highness, this matter is actually caused by the visit of the Junior Official of the Dali Temple that day. Your Highness, your Highness," said Lord Liu with shaking hands. At this point, it was very clear why Madam Liu suddenly committed suicide.
Madam Liu, who had always been proud and arrogant, had never suffered such an injustice. She was almost taken away by the people from the Dali Temple. This was almost the greatest humiliation she had encountered in her life. Because of her daughter, she did not take any action. Later, she became more and more angry and could not bear it any longer.
From the whole letter, it can be seen that even until her death, Madam Liu was thinking about the Prince's Eastern Palace. Her protection of Pei Luoan and her concern for her daughter, from a mother's perspective, really make people cry and feel moved.
Although Lord Liu did not see the letter afterwards, he was wholeheartedly concerned about the Eastern Palace and did not make the matter public.
No matter whether it was Madam Liu or Lord Liu, they were both wholeheartedly devoted to the Eastern Palace and endured everything.
"Father-in-law, I'll take the letter with me." Pei Luoan said, his expression a little gentler than before, and he also specifically asked for Lord Liu's opinion.
He even respectfully addressed Lord Liu as "Father-in-law". In the past, the prince usually called him Lord Liu, which shows that the prince now truly regards him as his own.
"That's how it should be!" Lord Liu was deeply moved and responded quickly. After a moment's hesitation, he asked again, "Your Highness, what should we do about this matter now? Did I do something wrong? Should I report it to the government?"
If we report it to the government, we will have to spread the truth that Madam Liu hanged herself. Such a big thing is also related to the assassination case in Northern Xinjiang. The Dali Temple has a responsibility in this matter, but it is not a big one.
After thinking it over again and again, Pei Luoan had already made up his mind: "Continue to bury Madam Liu on the grounds of what we said before. At this time, Madam Liu cannot be delayed."
The weather is hot, so it would be best to bury the body early. Making a big fuss outside and letting people laugh at him would not do him much good.
But internally, it’s not just like this.
"Madam Liu hanged herself?" When Prince Qilie heard the news, his face also looked grim.
Even though Madam Liu was of little use, she had been in the Great Zhou for so many years, and was much more familiar with some things than he, a newcomer. The reason he had ignored her before was because she had been causing trouble recently. Prince Qi Lie originally wanted to stay out for a while to see how things went, and then ask Madam Liu for some information.
He didn't expect that Madam Liu died before he took any action.
The rumor outside said that he died suddenly, but in fact he committed suicide by hanging.
Madam Liu hanged herself? He didn't believe it at all.
My father spent so much effort to send many people to Madam Liu, also because Madam Liu was a woman with extraordinary means. After knowing her true life experience, Madam Liu behaved very fanatically.
This enthusiasm was also what my father wanted to see, so he sent all his men and some property to Mrs. Liu.
And now he suddenly hanged himself
Isn't this a joke
"Second brother, this is a lie, right?" Princess Qia also found it unbelievable. She didn't like Madam Liu very much, but given this woman's personality, there was no way she would commit suicide.
She was alone in the capital at the beginning, and had been planning every step when she was still young. Now that she and her second brother have come to the capital, and her daughter has become the Crown Princess, she actually hanged herself. This is a joke.
"The news conveyed by Master Yuanhe must be true." Prince Qilie shook his head.
"Master Yuanhe has stayed in the Central Plains for too long, so he must be a little confused. He believes such lies?" Princess Qia sneered.
This Master Yuanhe is the Great Shaman Priest of Northern Frontier, but he became the Great Shaman Priest with the help of his father. In fact, he is basically not in Northern Frontier. He is a person secretly sent to Great Zhou by his father. The Great Shaman Priest is just a position given to him, a position leading to glory.
With such a position, when he returns to the Northern Frontier one day, he will also be a high-ranking witch priest with a noble status.
"This must be true." Prince Qilie said. Master Yuanhe has a very good relationship with the prince now. These words came from the prince's mouth, so they must be true.
"Did he spread this news on purpose?" Princess Qia still didn't believe it. Madam Liu's story sounded fake.
"Master Yuanhe has always been loyal to my father and would not do it on purpose." Prince Qilie shook his head. Master Yuanhe was an old man who followed his father. He had been with his grandfather at the beginning. He had stayed in the Great Zhou for his father for so many years. His purpose was to contact the old subordinates, not only his grandfather's lineage, but also the old subordinates of the other two kings.
The Rebellion of the Three Kings ultimately failed. Only my father escaped to the northern border. It is said that the other two branches did not escape, but they had a large number of old subordinates.
If we can gather all of them in our hands, it will be a huge help to our family.
Master Yuanhe had been hiding in the Great Zhou for so many years, and the main reason was this. For this reason, he even served the Queen Mother in the palace, and then met the Crown Prince.
Now the prince has great trust in him. If he had not said those words to the prince, the prince would not have made up his mind to deal with the Ling Anbo Mansion.
The prince would have explained everything to Master Yuanhe back then, and it would be even more impossible for him to hide anything from Master Yuanhe now. Prince Qilie had also seen Master Yuanhe's loyalty to his father over the years.
If it's neither of these two, then there is only one other reason, "someone deliberately made people think so."
"Who is deliberately creating confusion?" Princess Qia also understood and asked back.
Prince Qi Lie shook his head, confused. He thought that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with Madam Liu and Master Yuanhe around, plus the people he brought with him this time, it would not be a problem for him to turn the entire capital of the Great Zhou upside down. However, things far exceeded his imagination.
He said he was being forced by the Dali Temple people and couldn't think straight for a while.
Yes, Prince Qilie's first thought was that Madam Liu was trying to do something evil.
If you think about it carefully, it is of course impossible. Even her life was lost. There is no way that it could be done by Madam Liu herself.
"Second brother, is there anyone who wants to kill her? She looks very flamboyant and must have offended many people in her daily life." Princess Qia curled her lips in disapproval.
"Could her life be taken without anyone in the Liu Mansion knowing?" Prince Qi Lie also thought in this direction, but found it unlikely.
"Could it be her husband, Lord Liu?" Princess Qiya asked.
"That's unlikely!" Prince Qi Lie shook his head and denied Princess Qi Ya's statement. In her original letter, she said that Lord Liu was not a concern and that she was the one who could really make the decisions in the Liu Mansion. She was like this when Lord Liu was still the Minister of State. It is even more impossible now. Besides, why would he kill her? It has no benefit to him at all."
"Could it be the Crown Princess?" Princess Qia suddenly wondered, "There aren't many people who can come and go freely in the Liu Mansion and have the ability to do this, but the Crown Princess is definitely one of them."
"That's impossible. The Crown Princess is still under house arrest because of some issues. Besides, without her biological mother, it will only do harm to her and no good."
"Could it be the concubines?"
"If a concubine can do this and keep the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou in the dark, this concubine is really too capable." Prince Qi Lie still shook his head.
"It's neither this nor that, so what is it?" Princess Qia couldn't guess anymore and spread her hands.
"Let's take a closer look at this matter. After all, it has little to do with us. It's just a pity that we have lost a lot without her." Prince Qi Lie stretched out his hand and pressed his brow. This time when he entered the Great Zhou, it seemed that everything was not going well. All the previous budgets seemed to be a little less, and there were always some aspects missing, so that he had difficulty every step.
"Brother, it doesn't matter even if Madam Liu is gone. We still have Master Yuanhe. He is much more useful than Madam Liu." Princess Qiya said disapprovingly.
"That being said, my father gave her a lot of people. We have already taken back some of them, but I don't know where she has arranged for the rest."
