At the end of June, when Master He and Zhou Sang were doing business, they encountered a crazy horse.
In order to protect the people on the roadside, Mr. He, who was over sixty years old, fell into the moat.
At that time, King Chu happened to be leaving the city with supplies. After a delay, Lord He died unexpectedly.
The Crown Princess He Wenru who was away from home rushed back overnight.
But he only saw Xiaobu who was full of He family.
"Father!" He Wenru cried out as he got out of the car, looking at the door of He's house, and fainted.
Wen Qingzhu happened to accompany Zhou Yi and immediately stepped forward and gave He Wenru a heart-saving pill.
Someone carried He Wenru into He's house, and He Wenru's two brothers came over.
Wen Qingzhu had excellent medical skills and knew that He Wenru was suffering from worry and could only rest.
Just as he was comforting He Wenru's two brothers, a hot-tempered woman suddenly walked in from outside.
She combed her hair into a woman's bun and couldn't help but said angrily: "The child's father! Why don't you hurry up and stop your brother-in-law! Come here as soon as you come, and you even bring your concubine here with you. This is a deliberate attack on our He family." His face!"
He Wenru, who was almost awake, opened his eyes instantly and struggled to sit up. His voice was trembling: "Let them get out! Get out! Never come to He's house!"
He Wenru's two brothers rushed out immediately, and the woman who spoke before sat over.
He pressed He Wenru down and lay down: "Wenru, it's not my sister-in-law who is talking about you, so what if Jiang Yuansheng is the prince! He doesn't look like a prince from head to toe. He can't handle official business well and can't protect his children. Now he's even more of a prince. One by one, the concubines are brought to the palace, what's the point of you, the crown princess, in front of me! You might as well have married Zheng Xu back then!"
"Sister-in-law, be careful!" He Wenru stretched out her hand in panic, but was pushed away by her sister-in-law.
"Be careful what you say. Miss Wen already knows that something happened to my father-in-law suddenly. Mr. Zheng not only sent you news, but also sent news to us! Why do you want to defend him!"
The eldest sister-in-law of the He family was outspoken and unwilling to hide anything for the prince.
When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Yi.
When he turned to look at He Wenru, he saw that she had closed her eyes and tears were flowing from the ends of her eyes.
"Madam, may I ask what Mr. Zheng said before? Is there another hidden reason for Mr. He's death?" Wen Qingzhu intuitively felt that this matter was closely related to Wen Qingfang.
The eldest lady of the He family said with a sarcastic smile: "What's the secret? It's just that Jiang Yuansheng couldn't bear to see sister Wenru standing in the position of the princess, and the He family was unwilling to help him with all their strength. It wasn't Jiang Yuansheng who caused her to be suspicious. If I lose my father-in-law, I won’t be able to do it!"
"Sister-in-law, I know what to do." He Wenru suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent, his eyes extremely determined.
The eldest lady of the He family looked worried. She sat by the bed and held He Wenru's hand: "Don't do anything stupid. Make peace first. Regarding the father-in-law's matter, my husband and second brother will seek justice from him. You Just come back."
"Sister-in-law, this matter happened because of me. I have to solve it myself. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my father when I am in trouble?" He Wenru's eyes became redder and redder.
After leaving the He family's backyard, Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Yi went to the front yard together.
The prince was blocked outside the door, his expression extremely ugly.
The uncle of the He family even let King Chu and King Ning in, but not the prince, his direct son-in-law.
This can't help but make people think a lot.
Mr. He and Mr. Cui were important ministers who followed the late emperor in the previous dynasty.
His status in the imperial court was not low, and his death was a loss to Jiang Yue.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the door, watching the stalemate between the He family and Jiang Yuansheng.
Wen Qingfang, who was next to her, put on a pitiful look and said with self-blame: "Your Highness, why don't I go back? The princess sister definitely doesn't want to see me."
"Fang'er! You stay! You came here specifically to take care of her, why should she be dissatisfied!" Jiang Yuansheng trusted Wen Qingfang wholeheartedly, without any doubt at all.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the He family became increasingly ugly.
If Jiang Yuansheng was the prince, they would have sent people to drive him away.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but frown. Why would Wen Qingfang come over to join in the fun at this time
In the backyard just now, according to Mrs. He's words, Mr. He's death was closely related to the prince.
But looking at Jiang Yuansheng's appearance, it shouldn't be him.
Could it be Wen Qingfang
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Everyone looked up and found that the emperor's honor guard had arrived.
When they arrived at the door of He's house, everyone stepped aside.
Fu Lie led the imperial guards to guard the left and right sides. After getting off his horse, he personally asked Jiang Yue to get off.
Lifting the curtain, Jiang Yue got out of the carriage with the help of Concubine Wei.
Jiang Yue saw the prince and Wen Qingfang at a glance, and coldly ordered Eunuch Fang: "Send Concubine Wen back, take the prince back to Qianyuan Palace, and teach him well when I return to the palace."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuansheng immediately knelt down.
Wen Qingfang was about to help explain, but Eunuch Fang's people came over and dragged her away without giving her a chance to speak.
The prince's face turned pale as he finally realized what he had done wrong.
"Father, please calm down. My son, I am just confused for a moment!"
Jiang Yue ignored him, turned around and went into He's house.
When we arrived at the mourning hall, the coffin had not yet been closed.
Mr. He's pale face looked very peaceful.
But Jiang Yue couldn't help but hold the edge of the coffin tightly, and said solemnly: "Mr. He, the Jiang family is sorry for you."
Mr. Cui arrived with the help of Lei Xiuming.
He looked at the old man in the coffin, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, my condolences, everyone is born, old, sick and die. It might be a good thing that the old man died early."
"Sir." Jiang Yue's tone was very complicated.
Mr. He's death, a simple investigation can reveal the abnormality.
After looking at Mr. He, Jiang Yue turned to Wen Qingzhu and asked, "How is the Crown Princess's health?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess's health... is not very good." Wen Qingzhu told the truth.
If He Wenru was stimulated again, he might not live long.
Jiang Yue's eyes slowly darkened, but in the end he said nothing.
His own son, he knew best.
Not long after, Su Huo and Wei Hai arrived at the same time.
They arrived at the side hall and explained the situation to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue immediately slapped the table: "He is so brave! My minister, his father-in-law, dared to frame him!"
Wen Qingzhu was waiting outside and could hear the sounds inside clearly.
It was found out so easily. Wen Qingfang was not that stupid.
When Jiang Yue came out, Su Huo glanced at Wen Qingzhu as he passed by her.
That night, King Chu was also summoned to the palace.
In the middle of the night, Eunuch Fang hurried to Xue Mansion and asked Wen Qingzhu to enter the palace to see Jiang Yue.
Arriving at Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu saw the Crown Prince and King Chu kneeling at the entrance of the palace.
Jiang Yuancheng heard the movement and looked up at her.
Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly. Jiang Yuancheng was actually involved in this matter
When she arrived at the dormitory, the high court judge waved her over.
"Trouble Miss Wen."
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and after showing it to Jiang Yue, he felt clear.
This is like being stunned by anger.
Coupled with the fact that I am getting older and have been sexually intemperate recently, my body is beginning to be unable to bear it.
After stepping back, Wen Qingzhu told the truth: "Eunuch Fang, Mr. Gao, the emperor needs to rest for a long time in this situation. I have a pill that can temporarily suppress it, but it is best not to let this situation happen today."
She looked back and sighed: "Your Majesty is not young anymore."
After leaving the door of the dormitory, Luo Fei hurried over, looking very panicked.
"I've met Empress Luo Fei." Wen Qingzhu looked at her. She also had a share of the credit for Jiang Yue's situation today.
Luo Chan calmed down: "Miss Wen, is your majesty okay?"
"Well, it's okay for now, but I need to rest peacefully in the future." Wen Qingzhu said pointedly.
Luo Chan nodded and turned around to go in.
As soon as I went out, I saw Su Huo explaining something next to me.
Wen Qingzhu walked over with a thought in his heart.
Su Huo raised his hand to let his subordinates leave, then turned around and said, "I'm sorry to bother Miss Wen."
"You're welcome, I want to ask, what happened to Mr. He's death? Is it convenient?"
"There's nothing that can't be said. The crazy horse is managed by a clerk in a shop under King Chu. But that clerk has only been in King Chu's shop for less than half a month. Now it has been investigated clearly. That clerk is the prince. The person is just someone who was ordered by Concubine Wen to do it."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment, raised his eyes and asked, "It's not that simple."
"Well, I have already asked. The guy originally only planned to hit Mr. He, but the fence of the moat was tampered with, and the horse was not tampered with by the guy."
"Is the King of Chu responsible for the repair of the moat?"
Su Huo nodded: "The day before Mr. He's accident, someone took the King of Chu's token to see the official responsible for repairing the moat. That person has not been found yet."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu laughed out loud.
This is Wen Qinglan and Wen Qingfang fighting dog.
It's just a pity that Mr. He became a victim.
"In order to protect the crown prince, Your Majesty will definitely punish Concubine Wen. I wonder what decision Your Majesty has made?"
Su Huo shook his head: "Concubine Wen is pregnant, and she is almost four months old. The prince would rather be punished himself than to keep Concubine Wen's child. It was precisely because of this that His Majesty fainted."
"So that's it." Wen Qingzhu sighed, Wen Qingfang turned out to be confident.
However, Wen Qingfang showed his weakness, and Wen Qinglan was afraid that it would be soon.
Wen Qinglan wanted to bring down Wen Qingfang completely, but Wen Qingfang was definitely not defenseless.
At least for now, King Chu is involved.
Wen Qingzhu said goodbye to Su Huo and left Qianyuan Palace.
Early the next morning, the emperor issued an edict deposing the crown prince Jiang Yuansheng and demoting him to the title of King of Huai.
This incident did not cause much shock, as if this day would come sooner or later.
He Wenru, who was demoted to Princess Huai, returned to the home that was changed to Prince Huai's Mansion after the funeral.
Arriving at Jiang Yuansheng's room, He Wenru saw Jiang Yuansheng smelling of alcohol.
Standing next to him was a bewildered Wen Qingfang.
She looked at her indifferently: "As a concubine, His Highness is so drunk that he doesn't even take care of her!"
"Sister, calm down." Wen Qingfang was already showing her affection, holding her waist and about to kneel down.
He Wenru looked at her coldly: "You called me sister too?!"
When Wen Qingfang saw that He Wenru not only didn't ask her to get up politely, but also scolded her for calling her wrong, and pinched her palms tightly with her nails under her sleeves.
