Murong Ci comforted: "Imperial Sister, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and you won't suffer any disadvantages."
Yuan Xiu said angrily: "Master Gong is a beast in clothes. The princess will soon marry him. Who would have thought that he would use the opportunity of visiting the princess to misbehave the princess and ruin the princess's reputation. Is he still human? If the princess really marries him, I will not know in the future." What will happen. Your Highness wants to decide for the princess, and you must not let Mr. Gong go."
Murong Chang said sadly and in despair: "Brother Prince, sister, is this life over for me?"
Murong Ci comforted: "No, don't think wildly. Don't worry, I won't let you be bullied for nothing."
She told Yuanxiu to take good care of Zhaohua, not to leave Zhaohua at every step, and not let Zhaohua do stupid things, and then went to the main hall.
Shen Zhiyan said that the imperial physician had treated Gong Junhao's injury, and now he passed out due to excessive blood loss.
"Since he has passed out, let him go back to the mansion first." Murong Ci summoned the servant in charge of Jinghong Palace and asked, "Have you sent someone to report to the Prime Minister's mansion?"
"Someone has been sent, and the prime minister should be here soon." The servant replied.
She nodded, Shen Zhiyan gave her a wink, and she followed him to the west side of the corridor.
He said solemnly: "The knife that Gong Junhao suffered was cut off, and he will not be able to carry on the family from now on."
She frowned, "There is no possibility of healing"
Shen Zhiyan shook his head, "That knife was quite ruthless."
"you mean"
"I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but judging from Gong Junhao's injury, it is impossible for a delicate woman to have that kind of strength to cut through the roots, not to mention his high martial arts skills and quick reflexes, so it is unlikely that the princess will succeed." he analyzed.
"Is it possible that he had unruly intentions towards Zhaohua, Zhaohua struggled and resisted fiercely, during the entanglement between them, Zhaohua lost control and injured him with a dagger, and the great fear aroused her strength, and she succeeded. ’ she hypothesized.
"I can only say that there is a possibility." Shen Zhiyan hesitated, "But I still feel that it is quite strange at this time."
At this time, Murong Ci saw Concubine Qiao rushing over with the help of the maid who was close to her, with a worried expression on her face.
After being instructed by the palace servants, Concubine Qiao ran to the east side hall.
Murong Ci suddenly felt a little strange, why Concubine Qiao just came now, shouldn't the palace people inform Zhaohua's biological mother, Concubine Qiao, as soon as possible? Maybe the palace people are in a hurry, so forget it for a while.
Seeing her thoughtful, Shen Zhiyan asked, "What's wrong?"
She shook her head, "Nothing."
He said worriedly: "Prime Minister Gong only has such a son-in-law. Now that Gong Junhao is injured and unable to carry on the family line, I am afraid that Prime Minister Gong will not let it go."
That's exactly what she was worried about, "I will investigate this matter. Tomorrow, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask Gong Junhao."
He said softly: "If I am free tomorrow, I will accompany His Highness to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
After a cup of tea, Prime Minister Gong Liming hurried over.
When he learned that his son's injury was the lifeline of the family, and saw that his son was unconscious and dying, his rosy and slightly plump face sank and was covered with gloom.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, the imperial physician has already diagnosed and treated your son. His life is fine, but he lost a lot of blood and fell into a coma temporarily." Murong Ci explained.
"How the dog got hurt, the lower officials will definitely ask clearly," Gong Liming said with a straight face.
"Your Excellency, your son needs to rest, why not take him back to the mansion to have a good rest." Shen Zhiyan said kindly.
Gong Liming ordered the palace staff to carry Gong Junhao back, and then left with a flick of his sleeves.
Seeing his attitude, Murong Ci knew it well.
The palace staff quickly cleaned up the bedroom, and then Concubine Qiao and Yuan Xiu took Murong Chang back to rest.
But when Murong Chang heard that he was going back to the bedroom, he screamed terribly and hid in a corner shivering.
Concubine Qiao and Yuan Xiu didn't know why, they were worried and anxious, and didn't know how to persuade them.
Murong Ci said to Concubine Qiao: "The emperor's sister has been frightened and hurt so much, and she has lingering fears that she can't let go of. When she returns to the bedroom, she will recall the scene that frightened her. Let her rest in the side hall for a few days before we talk about it."
Concubine Qiao felt that it was reasonable, and ordered the palace servants to clean up the East Side Hall.
Murong Ci passed down an order that the palace people are not allowed to discuss this matter, and anyone who discusses it will be dealt with by the palace rules.
The next day, Murong Ci went to Dali Temple first, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Shen Zhiyan.
The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the Prime Minister was not there, but led them to the small courtyard where Gong Junhao lived.
Coincidentally, Madam Yang came out of the room, saw them, and saluted reluctantly, her red and swollen eyebrows were full of resentment, but she dared not speak out.
Murong Ci said politely: "Mrs. Gong, these medicinal materials are a little wish from my palace, to make up for your son's health."
Qin Ruo offered four boxes of precious medicinal materials with both hands, and Yang gave the maidservant beside her a wink, and said in a strange way: "Since it is the wish of His Royal Highness, the minister's wife will accept it."
The maid held four boxes of medicinal materials in both hands.
"Madam Gong, can we go in and see your son?" Shen Zhiyan said softly.
"No one would want such a thing to happen. I want to ask your son about some things, and I hope Madam Gong will make it easier for me." Murong Ci understood Madam Gong's grief and held back his anger.
"Hao'er is asleep." Yang's fierce brows were filled with cold hostility.
"Mother, let Your Highness come in." Gong Junhao's voice came from the room.
As a last resort, she let them in.
Qin Ruo was waiting outside, Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan went in, and the maid who was serving in the dormitory withdrew.
Gong Junhao was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his brows that used to be as bright as the spring sun were now covered with haze, intertwined with various complex emotions, resentment, pain, despair
When he returned to the mansion yesterday, he woke up and knew that he had become a useless person like the servants in the palace. He couldn't accept it. He quarreled, roared hysterically, screamed in pain and despair, and cried bitterly while hugging his mother, but this couldn't be changed. fact
Lost the most important thing of a man, he is a man in vain, this shame will follow him for the rest of his life, nail him on the rack of shame, suffer criticism, white eyes, ridicule, ridicule, contempt from others all his life, this thing will spread soon Everyone knows, what face does he have to live in the world
He can no longer enjoy all the fun of a man, can no longer stand upright, and will live forever in a dark, lonely world, becoming a terrible walking dead.
he wanted to die
However, his mother's words alerted him: the descendants of the Gong family must not be cowardly
he wants revenge
Although it is difficult to take revenge, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, but it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, how will you know if you don’t try
"Young Master Gong, His Highness expresses his regret for what happened in Jinghong Palace yesterday, but His Highness will investigate clearly." Shen Zhiyan said gently.
"Your Highness, you'd better find out and give me justice." Gong Junhao's voice was so grim that he almost gritted his teeth.
"Mr. Gong, no matter what the reason or the circumstances, it was Zhaohua who hurt you. I apologize to you on behalf of Zhaohua." Murong Ci said sincerely. Not necessary, but she wanted to show her heart.
"There's no need to apologize, I just want justice." He said disdainfully, his eyes gloomy.
"Can you tell me about what happened in Jinghong Palace yesterday? However, if you still don't want to talk about it, I won't force you." She asked.
"As soon as I returned to the mansion yesterday, I saw a servant from the palace come to the mansion to spread the message. Princess Zhaohua sent me to the palace to discuss matters related to the wedding. It was related to the matter of the wedding, so I dared not neglect, so I went to the palace to meet the princess." Junhao spoke slowly, his cadenced voice was full of remorse and unwillingness, "In Jinghong Palace, I saw the princess"
Murong Ci's slender eyebrows are slightly condensed, why is it different from what Yuan Xiu said
Yuanxiu and Zhaohua did not say that it was Zhaohua who summoned him into the palace.
He continued talking, as if returning to yesterday
He is satisfied with this marriage. From the moment he was born, he was well-clothed and well-fed, with flowers and brocades, and he was held in the hands of everyone and grew up. Because he is both civil and military, his family background is prominent, and he is always accompanied by flatterers. He is full of vigor and high spirits, and he is very popular among the children of many aristocratic families in the imperial capital. After His Majesty bestowed the marriage, he was even more proud of himself, enjoying the praise and envy from all directions.
Therefore, Princess Zhaohua summoned him into the palace, and he went without thinking much.
Entering the main hall, he saw the princess whom he had been thinking about day and night.
The princess was beautifully dressed, more beautiful than ever. She was wearing a five-fold crimson gauze dress, like a soft red mist covering her graceful body, and like a crimson peony blooming in early summer, she was beautiful, heavenly, luxurious and romantic.
He straightened his eyes, and felt that the princess's bowed head and faint smile were so captivating that it took his soul away.
However, he didn't dare to make mistakes, thinking that in August he would be able to marry the beautiful and charming princess home and love him well, so he was infinitely delighted.
Princess Zhaohua pulled him to sit down. On the table were chilled fresh melons and fruits, pastries and almond cheese. She gently let him eat it, and brought the almond cheese to him with her own hands.
"This is my father's favorite almond cheese. I specially asked the servants in the imperial dining room to make an extra bowl. Try it quickly."
She looked at him with a smile, her shy eyebrows lowered slightly, full of charm.
Gong Junhao took the porcelain bowl and ate the almond cheese, feeling so sweet that he felt greasy.
Then, the princess picked up the melon and fruit and handed it to his mouth, winking like silk, "Open your mouth."
Looking at her slender hands, he opened his mouth instinctively, ate the melon and fruit, his heart swayed.
She fed him another piece of pastry, and asked softly, "How does it taste, son-in-law?"
"Delicious and delicious." He replied truthfully, "Why is the princess treating me so well?"
"Because you are a son-in-law." She smiled charmingly.
"The princess wants to negotiate with me about the wedding"
"No rush, we'll talk about it later."
Princess Zhaohua picked up a piece of melon and fruit and ate it slowly, staring at him like smoke, biting small bites. Inadvertently, the fruit fell on her clothes, staining the scarlet gauze.
She stood up and said softly: "I'm going to change clothes, I'll be back later."
Gong Junhao stood up and sent her off respectfully. Not long after, he heard a soft cry from the bedroom, worried that something might happen to her, so he rushed in without thinking.
