Looking up again, Jiang Yuanan and the others had walked out of the alley.
Du Weiniang seemed to notice her gaze and looked back, meeting Wen Qingzhu's eyes.
But soon, she withdrew her gaze.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked over. Fu Lie had already gone to direct the siege. Jiang Yuanhan was squatting in front of Fu Yu, talking about something.
Mrs. Fu wanted to go to Fu Yu, but Fu Jing held her back and just kept crying.
He lowered his head and looked at his red hand. He had shot a few arrows in succession, and he didn't have time to put on protective gear. His fingers and palms were all red, and there was a faint pain.
"Sister." Jiang Yuanhan stood up and walked over.
Wen Qingzhu put away his hand, raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuanhan glanced in the direction of the palace: "My mother-in-law and the ministers are still at the Wugutai."
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu said, "Take some time to clean up and continue what you should."
"What about Princess Yijia?" Jiang Yuanhan was stunned. He didn't know how to explain this matter to the emperor.
At this point in time, Jiang Yijia died suddenly, which was really suspicious.
Wen Qingzhu's face was slightly cold and he looked at him seriously: "Your Highness, you have done everything you should do. These killers did not come for Jiang Yijia from the beginning. The person they want to kill is Fu Yu."
"I know this, but the people who died were Princess Yijia, Prince Ning and Concubine Li, and—"
Those who are secretly preparing to take action.
Seeing that he was worried, Wen Qingzhu waved his hand and turned around to go to Fu Lie.
Jiang Yuanhan looked at her back with complicated emotions.
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu and others returned to Wugutai.
What happened at the door of Fu's house was basically known to everyone present.
But when they saw Fu Lie escorting Jiang Yuanhan back, everyone had different thoughts.
After Wen Qingzhu sat down, he gave Concubine Wei a look.
Concubine Wei understood the situation and stood up to preside over the situation: "Eunuch Fang, please present the imperial edict."
Then he turned to look at Pei Yu and Fu Lie: "I'm sorry to bother you two adults."
Fu Lie didn't say anything, but Pei Yu hesitated.
However, he knocked on the entrance of the Wugutai. Prince Ning and others did not come, so he said nothing and walked forward.
Eunuch Fang came up with a box. Fu Lie and Pei Yu each took out half a key and put them together, just enough to form one key.
Under everyone's attention, Pei Yu opened the box and took out the imperial edict.
After slowly opening it, Pei Yu glanced at it and saw that it was indeed Jiang Yuanhan's name.
Under everyone's eager eyes, Pei Yu slowly read out: "The Emperor's edict is carried by heaven, and Prince Rui is respectful..., hereby canonize him as the prince, and title him Zhaowu. I hereby express my gratitude!"
After the reading, Jiang Yuanhan stood up and went forward to receive the imperial edict.
Just when his hand was about to receive the imperial edict, a white horse suddenly broke in at the entrance of Wugutai.
The person sitting on it was none other than King Ning. He was wearing armor and holding a sword given by the emperor, pointing directly at Jiang Yuanhan.
"stop!"
Soon, the imperial army quickly surrounded King Ning.
Before Pei Yu let go, the imperial edict was still in Jiang Yuanhan's hands.
Wen Qingzhu squinted and was about to speak when Fu Lie suddenly said: "Mr. Pei, it's time for you to let go."
While saying this, Fu Lie's eyes were cold, his right hand holding the sword at his waist, looking at him motionless.
Pei Yu smiled and immediately let go.
The imperial edict fell into Jiang Yuanhan's hands.
Jiang Yuanan, who was in the audience, saw this scene and suddenly looked at the civil and military officials present and shouted: "Ministers, I have nothing to say below the imperial edict, but my father has clearly said that this edict can only be issued on the day of Yijia's marriage. It can be awarded, but why did Yijia die tragically before it was awarded?"
The words were sonorous, and the meaning of grief penetrated deeply into the heart. These simple words made everyone look at Jiang Yuanhan.
Concubine Wei stood up and was about to speak.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting next to him, smiled coldly. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Everyone could hear it clearly in such a quiet Wugutai.
"Did Mrs. Fu Hou admit it?" Jiang Yuanan stared at Wen Qingzhu, his eyes filled with hatred.
Wen Qingzhu walked out slowly, looked around the grain terrace, and said solemnly: "Your Highness Prince Ning, Princess Yijia has just died, and before the matter has been investigated clearly, you left the princess and Concubine Li and rushed here to question the prince. , What’s your intention?”
After a pause, she glanced at Jiang Yuanhan and asked him to answer.
Understanding what Wen Qingzhu meant, Jiang Yuanhan immediately continued: "Brother Prince Ning, if you really came here for the death of Princess Yijia, then under the witness of all the civil and military officials, we can start the investigation immediately. If you really come with me, If you are concerned, please immediately take away the crown prince's position. Will Brother Ning be satisfied with this?"
These words were Jiang Yuanhan's bet on his throne, and no one dared to speak for a moment.
Jiang Yuanan's face was ashen. He never expected that Jiang Yuanhan would dare to say such things.
Before the matter was over, the Minister of Rites suddenly stood up, looked at Jiang Yuanhan and said: "Your Highness, I don't understand something. When the incident happened, only the Fu family and Mrs. Fu Hou were there, and then there were people from Ping Guohou. The scene has been surrounded, aren’t His Highness’s people having the final say in everything now?”
"Master Shangshu suspects that the prince has selfish motives? Why don't you follow the investigation together? The Department of Shenxing, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishments, plus you and the Ministry of Rites, are not much."
Wen Qingzhu spoke immediately and glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance intentionally or unintentionally.
However, the elderly Minister of the Ministry of Finance lowered his head and did not show any emotional fluctuations.
The face of the Minister of Rites froze, and he felt angry. He didn't know how to respond or refute for a moment.
Suddenly remembering that Wen Qingzhu was just the wife of the Marquis of Pingguo, she immediately turned cold and said: "This is a royal matter. What qualifications does the madam have to stand here and comment? Is it possible that the madam can already make decisions on behalf of the prince? Or is the prince just listening to the madam? To do something?"
These words were not taken lightly, but the smile on Wen Qingzhu's face became even brighter: "Your Excellency is right, this is a major royal matter. Then may I ask, sir, who is from the royal family? Are you questioning the royal affairs here?"
The Minister of Rites immediately choked up and trembled with anger.
But Wen Qingzhu hadn't stopped yet. His eyes swept between him and Prince Ning, and he said ambiguously: "Is it possible that your Excellency can speak for Prince Ning? Are you questioning it now?"
These words immediately scared the Minister of Rites into a cold sweat. Jiang Yuanan was not good at refuting.
Is this what we have to do today
Everything was planned well, but suddenly something happened to Jiang Yijia, Yuan Chang and his people disappeared, and the Minister of Rites forced his way in, everything turned into a mess.
When the atmosphere gradually became tense, Wei Ziying slowly stood up, first saluted Jiang Yuanhan, and then turned around and saluted Prince Ning.
Finally, he stood sideways and said to the two people: "The imperial edict has been issued. The canonization should have been carried out according to etiquette and law, but Princess Yijia was stabbed to death. Now it is the Investigation Department who is the real culprit. What do you think, Your Highnesses?"
After a long silence, Jiang Yuanhan agreed.
Jiang Yuanan did not reply until the eunuch in charge of Chengming Palace came to report in a hurry.
"Your Highness, your Majesty has a sudden heart attack and is in critical danger. Please go back and take a look!"
Jiang Yuanan stared at Jiang Yuanhan for a while, and finally agreed.
Without any further hesitation, he turned around on his horse and left the Wugutai immediately.
Now that the results have come out, everyone looks at the Minister of Rites with an added meaning.
Wen Qingzhu walked to Jiang Yuanhan's side and said, "I would like to go to Chengming Palace to visit you."
"Sister-" Jiang Yuanhan subconsciously wanted to call her sister, but soon remembered that this was at Wugutai, and immediately changed his mind, "Mrs. Fu, go ahead, I will handle the matters here."
Wen Qingzhu said goodbye and quickly rushed to Chengming Palace with his people.
When they arrived at the door, they were stopped and refused to enter.
After waiting for a while, Du Weiniang came out and welcomed them in.
After passing through the long corridor and the moon gate, the group finally arrived at Concubine Li's bedroom.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Dr. Gan kneeling in front of the bed, giving Concubine Li an injection.
Wen Qingzhu took a closer look and saw that Concubine Li's face was pale and her breathing was rapid.
She made a mental calculation, turned around and told the nun in charge of Chengming Palace some medicine.
But the nanny didn't make any move, and instead stared at her angrily.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuanan in front of the bed said: "Listen to Mrs. Fu!"
The grandma then went down and looked for people from Taiyuan Hospital to arrest him.
When Dr. Gan was administering the acupuncture, Wen Qingzhu noticed something was wrong and reminded him: "Add three more acupuncture points to Tianrong point and one less acupuncture point to Lingshu point."
Doctor Gan paused, thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and immediately followed Wen Qingzhu's instructions to insert the acupuncture.
After a few moments, Concubine Li's breathing became smoother.
Dr. Gan quickly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, madam, for your advice."
"It's okay." Wen Qingzhu shook his head.
In less than half an hour, the prepared soup was delivered.
Several palace maids worked together to pour the medicine into Concubine Li.
Slowly, Concubine Li's complexion returned to a little rosy, and she seemed to be getting better.
Seeing that she was fine, Wen Qingzhu said goodbye to Prince Ning and turned around to leave.
Just after they came out of the inner room, Concubine Li suddenly woke up and shouted the word "Yijia" in a hoarse voice.
Wen Qingzhu looked back and saw that Jiang Yuanan was already sitting by the bed, holding Concubine Li in his arms.
Now Concubine Li seemed to have come to her senses. She was crying. She grabbed Jiang Yuanan's sleeve and cried: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have forced Yijia. If I had promised her earlier, nothing would happen to her now. Either marry Fu Yu, or you won’t go to Fu’s house at all now!”
"Mother! Yijia is dead!" Jiang Yuanan suddenly shouted.
Concubine Li's crying stopped suddenly. She looked at Jiang Yuanan's face and suddenly became excited: "It's all you! It's all you! Yijia asked you to give up, but you refused! Now that she doesn't marry Fu Yu, you I don’t believe it…”
Jiang Yuanan's breathing was stagnant and he couldn't say anything.
Crying, Concubine Li fainted again.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and left, but Du Weiniang caught up with him at this moment.
"Madam, let's go outside and talk."
The two of them arrived outside the door and retreated.
Du Weiniang then said: "Xia Feiyuan has another master. Yuan Chang did send assassins to kill Fu Yu, but his people will never attack Fu Yu when Jiang Yijia is in danger."
"How do you know?" Wen Qingzhu looked at Du Weiniang carefully and asked his own question, "Speaking of which, weren't you locked up by Xia Feiyuan? Why did you suddenly appear on the street?"
What Wen Qingzhu said was that Du Weiniang stopped Jiang Yijia's carriage.
Du Weiniang glanced at the room with a very sad look in her eyes: "Yuan Chang has gone crazy. He is not working for his second brother wholeheartedly. He just wants to kill Fu Yu to vent his anger. This is when I was unconscious and heard a man talking to Xia What Fei Yuan said was later confirmed with my second brother that the man was Yuan Chang."
"Xia Feiyuan also knew about the assassination?" Wen Qingzhu thought of the last arrow, and then asked, "How did you know that Xia Feiyuan had another master?"
Du Weiniang frowned, thinking of what happened that day: "Xia Feiyuan drugged me a few days ago, and I overheard it."
Wen Qingzhu looked at her with some confusion: "You are also a medical woman. What kind of drug can charm you?"
Speaking of this, Du Weiniang took out a box. After opening it, there was a piece of moldy pastry inside.
"Madam, look, what kind of drug is this?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at it carefully and was about to reach out to touch it, but Du Weiniang stopped him.
