Princess Xianrong was so shocked that she immediately knelt down.
At this moment, Queen Fang was like a firework that could explode at any time. The death of the Fourth Prince almost drove her crazy. She couldn't stand anyone who displeased her.
She pursed her lips, bowed her head and kowtowed to admit her fault: "To answer your Majesty, it was because of something..."
In fact, it is totally wrong no matter how you say it.
Queen Fang sneered and said, "Of course there is something wrong."
She was indifferent, and after saying this, she pretended that Princess Xianrong no longer existed. Princess Xianrong became even more panicked and couldn't help but look up at her mother.
Ever since Princess Chang'an entered the palace, there has been no news of her. She has no idea what Queen Fang is planning to do with her now.
Princess Chang'an gently waved her hand at her, signaling her to stay calm.
Lady Xianrong swallowed her saliva and was about to speak when someone outside said that Princess Zheng and Princess Shouning had arrived.
The eyes of Xianrong County Lady turned cold instantly, and the fear she had felt before seemed to have disappeared in an instant, leaving only the disgust she felt towards Wei An. She knew that Prince Zheng and his men had been staying in the palace and had not been able to leave, and she knew in her heart that something must be wrong, and she only hoped that this incident would directly knock Wei An and Prince Zheng into the mud and make them unable to turn over.
Princess Zheng walked in with her head lowered and her eyes supported by Wei An, and respectfully paid her respects to Queen Fang first.
Queen Fang was unusually not stern towards her. She even nodded to her calmly, looked at her belly and asked her, "Can you still hold on?"
Princess Zheng was terrified and kowtowed to Queen Fang in fear. She quickly responded, "It is my duty to mourn for the prince. It is not hard work. Your Majesty is really too kind."
It is not your duty to cry for the prince, but it is your duty to cry for the crown prince.
It was just that the Fourth Prince had died before he received this posthumous honor. Queen Fang thought that it was meaningless and curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically before nodding at her.
Princess Chang'an fixed her gaze on Wei An, exchanged a glance with her, and then they both looked away tacitly.
Instead, Xiao Gu walked in, walked up to Queen Fang without looking away, and said something in a low voice.
Empress Fang immediately raised her voice, looked at Xianrong County Lady in surprise, and then her face was filled with anger: "What?!"
Everyone was startled by her gaze, and Princess Xianrong even got goosebumps instantly.
Empress Fang did not intend to make trouble. A strange smile appeared on her haggard face, and she said, "After doing such a thing, His Majesty only let him guard the imperial mausoleum, which is really a light release for him."
She let Xiao Gu fix her phoenix robe for her, and without even looking at Concubine Peng De who was kneeling beside her, she stood up and sneered, "Ridiculous!"
As she spoke, she turned to the Fairy Princess who was not far away and asked her, "Do you know why the old princess of the Zhennan King didn't come?"
Xianrong County Lady was startled and subconsciously glanced at her mother. Seeing that her mother was also frowning, she shook her head and nodded in panic: "The old princess... The old princess has passed away... The palace has received the news..."
Queen Fang hummed, then lightly picked up the jade pendant and asked her, "Then do you know how the old princess died?"
Princess Xianrong was confused by the question and had no idea what Queen Fang meant. She looked at her in shock and fear, and shook her head in panic.
"Chu Jingxing, as the prince of the palace, secretly met with Wei Yulong, the daughter of Princess Changning of Dingbei Marquis's palace, and because of this, he angered the old princess of Zhennan to death. As his wife, you didn't know?!" Queen Fang suddenly sneered: "How did you become the prince's consort? After he ran to the palace and angered the old princess to death, he hung out with someone in the servants' house until last night, when someone set fire to the house, which alarmed the Five Cities Army..."
Princess Xianrong was already dumbfounded. She knew that she could understand every word Queen Fang said, but when they were put together, she could not understand their meaning at all.
Empress Fang then said calmly, "He has been so naughty that the whole capital knows about it, and you, the Crown Prince's consort, don't even know about it?!"
Princess Chang'an also looked back at Wei An with a look of shock.
Chu Jingxing is not such a person!
He didn't ask Wei Yulong to come back for any secret meeting.
What exactly happened
She had no news in the palace, and Emperor Longqing ordered the Jinwu Guard, Yulin Guard and Jinyi Guard to strengthen their precautions. Every day in the palace, she watched the Jinyi Guard arresting and killing people. Even she was so frightened that she did not dare to act rashly, so she did not know the news outside.
Now hearing what Queen Fang said, I was shocked beyond words.
Queen Fang did not wait for Princess Chang'an to digest her thoughts or to plead for mercy, and said directly: "No wonder you two came the last. It turns out that in your eyes, we are so insignificant!"
She sneered, “He is so arrogant, King Linjiang has raised a good son!”
Princess Chang'an quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Jingxing has never been such a person. There must be some misunderstanding..."
"What misunderstanding?!" Queen Fang sneered and asked, "Could it be that the person captured by the Five Cities Military Department was not him?! Could it be that the person who was hanging out with Wei Yulong and angered the old princess to death was not him?! He could do such a cruel and insane thing, so immoral and so bold, what misunderstanding could there be?!"
Princess Chang'an was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She forgot that Queen Fang was now a lunatic, and lunatics were unreasonable. She couldn't reason with them, she couldn't reason with them. She restrained her emotions and quickly admitted her fault: "Your Majesty, calm down. Chang'an didn't mean that. It's just..."
"It's nothing!" Queen Fang frowned and said coldly, "How can he commit such a beastly act during a period of national mourning? How is he different from an animal?! For a person like this, sentencing him to guard the imperial mausoleum is also forgiving him!"
At this moment, anything disrespectful to the Fourth Prince would be like digging into her heart.
This was the reason why Chu Jingxing was late, which Queen Fang could not tolerate in particular.
Princess Chang'an felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart.
After Empress Fang and Emperor Longqing’s admonitions, Chu Jingxing’s reputation as a beast would become known to the world.
With such a bad reputation, what will happen to my future
He was not liked by King Linjiang in the first place, and later Xia Song and others got into trouble one after another. Now Chu Jingxing's situation is not good at all.
Now it can be said that it is adding insult to injury.
She turned her head slightly to look at Wei An, and saw that Wei An was whispering something to Princess Zheng with a calm expression. Her eyes gradually became serious.
Chu Jingxing brought Wei Yulong back to deal with Wei An. Now Wei An is fine and it seems that there is no impact, but Chu Jingxing has become a beast.
If Wei An said that he didn't do anything and didn't design to frame Chu Jingxing, she would never believe it.
