The concubine looked at Liu Chenghui and sneered again and again, and said to the prince: "I don't know where I offended Liu Chenghui, and let her go out of my way to harm me like this. I don't want to be killed again and again. After this incident tonight, there is another commotion outside. It was so overwhelming that she had a good idea and ordered Nanny Chen to search the backyard. She also wanted to catch the other party by surprise, but she didn't expect to find the real culprit.
"As for whether it is the real murderer, or there are other people behind it, how can Liu Chenghui, a small Chenghui, stir up trouble in the East Palace and stir up troubles? I have insufficient physical and mental energy, so I can't find it anymore. Please, Your Highness. call the shots."
Things have developed to this situation at this time, it can be said to be full of ups and downs.
Who would have thought that the weak Crown Princess would turn back and order Chen Nanny to search the backyard while everyone was coming to Jide Hall to watch the excitement.
In fact, this is indeed a very good method. The thing happened in a hurry. If there is a ghost behind it, that person will have no time to clean up the rear, and maybe they will be able to find out the truth.
But Pan'er always had a weird feeling that all this happened so logically, as if the princess had been waiting for this to happen, and then sat and watched the turmoil, waiting for everyone to continue Detang tried to find out the truth, to find out if something happened to her, but she ordered someone to search the yard in private.
As for why Pan Er made such a judgment? It's all because the Crown Princess is usually the one who values face the most. As long as she is alive, it is impossible for Ji Detang to be in such a mess, but today it happened to be in chaos, and so many people were alarmed.
Apparently Pan'er was not the only one who figured all this out, but also Liu Chenghui. Her face was almost ashen, but she was still crying, but she looked extremely powerless.
The prince glanced at her, and said: "Fulu, take Liu Chenghui down for interrogation, as well as the servants around her. Be sure to ask if there are other people behind the scenes, and where did the white phosphorus come from?" If you got it, who got it from, and who brought it into the palace, you have to find out one by one.”
"yes."
Fu Lu raised his hand, and Zhang Lai brought some eunuchs over to escort Liu Chenghui down.
Because they were the prince's concubines, they didn't do anything directly, but just made a gesture of invitation. But Liu Chenghui was still crying endlessly, so he had no choice but to pull her.
"Don't pull me!"
Liu Chenghui stood up, his round face was full of tears, but he looked at the princess with a sneer.
"The thing was done by me, and there is no need for trial. There is no one else. I did it alone. As for why I did this, did the princess forget to pay for it? Back then you ordered someone to pay for it in my house. Water was splashed on the steps in front of me, causing me to fall, and the child who had been hidden for more than three months was gone. Do you think you did it in secret, and no one would know? You pretended to be a good person and asked the imperial doctor to deliver medicinal materials for me. You probably don’t know. You know, since sister Qi's accident, I've been on guard against you.
"But, I still can't guard against it. Who told you that you are a crown princess? You are in charge of this entire backyard. It's just a matter of a word... My child, I carefully hid three Yue, I have to hide people when I change the clothes, I just want to wait for the baby to sit firmly, but I was killed by you... No one will avenge my poor child, since there is no... Then I will avenge my child myself... "
All these changes are too fast, and Liu Chenghui's honest image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this time, she suddenly changed her face, and others could not do anything other than dumbfounded.
Of course, there may also be reasons for what she said.
"You just don't know what to say. You are talking nonsense. You accidentally fell out of the house in Xuetian. Instead, you blamed me and said that I hurt you." People, quickly drag this above-mentioned lowly servant girl to me!"
Nanny Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and ordered someone to drag Liu Chenghui down quickly, but all this happened not as fast as the changes in the field.
"Do you think I am the only one in this backyard who hates you? You are wrong. You know what you have done. There are many people who hate you, but I am not the only one... I curse you Chen Yan, I curse you like Qi My sister was so difficult to give birth for three days, she was in so much pain that she couldn't give birth to a child, she was stillborn! I curse you that you want it but you can't get it, why don't you ask God not to give you anything, I will watch you from below!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Chenghui bumped his head against the pillar next to him.
Pan'er closed her eyes subconsciously, and there were screams in her ears one after another.
This scene was really shocking, probably no one thought that Liu Chenghui would kill himself on the spot.
Blood flowed all over the ground, and everyone was still in shock.
Ma Chenghui cried bitterly, stumbled and threw himself on Liu Chenghui's corpse, the princess was stunned on the spot, as if petrified.
With her eyes closed, Pan'er could already guess why Liu Chenghui was so decisive.
I'm afraid the princess is the only one who thinks disgusting, and she also has her own considerations.
It was impossible for her to expose Hu Liangdi, and for exposing Hu Liangdi, not to mention whether Hu Liangdi would be punished for being pregnant, anyway, she would definitely not be able to escape this calamity. When the time comes, will Hu Liangdi turn around and take revenge on Ma Chenghui, or will the Crown Princess anger Ma Chenghui because of this
After all, the two lived in the same courtyard, entered and exited together, and Ma Chenghui had no idea that what Liu Chenghui did was impossible.
There are also the slaves around Liu Chenghui. If the trial continues like this, all of them will be inseparable, and maybe more people will be involved.
This is the sorrow of being the masters of the palace, think clearly before doing anything, and think clearly whether you can afford the result of failure. Because once you fail, you will not only be implicated, but none of the servants around you will be able to escape.
"Master, I'm out of breath." Fu Lu went to test his breath himself, and turned to report to the prince. He looked at the prince cautiously, thinking about what it was called.
The crown prince rolled up the beads in his hands, and the hanging necklace made a series of invisible sounds.
"Carry him down and bury him properly." After speaking, he stood up and left.
Pan'er also left, because the prince glanced at her before leaving.
After leaving the gate of Jide Hall, the prince stood not far away, looking up at the moon in the sky.
The moonlight was hazy, but seeing this scene at this moment, Pan'er had no fear, only distressed.
Yes, it hurts.
Not for himself, but for the prince.
The prince at this time is not yet the future Emperor Jianping, his life is only a short period of twenty years, and he has not grown to the point where he can strategize and use the emperor's mind skillfully.
In her previous life, when Pan'er saw Emperor Jianping doing things, she always felt that he was too calm and cold-blooded, and she couldn't help but wonder how he got to this point, could it be that he was born this way.
Soon she felt that she took it for granted, no one is born like this, it must have gone through the years, experienced too much, it will settle like this.
In her previous life, she had no time to participate. When she faced Emperor Jianping, she had sincere admiration, deliberately played tricks, and deliberately flattered her, but at the same time, she also had a kind of fear.
Even in the last few years, the two of them got along like ordinary couples, and he loved him extremely, but because of the impression of the previous decades, she had a deep-seated fear of him.
Afraid of his emperor's mind, afraid that he will suddenly turn his back, afraid that all this is just his layout, afraid that maybe one day in the future he will suddenly neglect her.
But at this time, under the tricks of fate, she suddenly went back to decades ago. Under this sky, Pan'er felt a sense of distress for the young prince in front of her.
It turned out that when he was young, he would also be troubled by some small things. He would be emotional and even helpless because of the conflicts between husband and wife.
When things turned out like this, the crown prince was probably not only saddened by Liu Chenghui's suicide, not only by what she said, but also about tonight's incident
The princess was too confident about everything, so confident that it made people feel deliberate, and she couldn't help but wonder whether she was planning the whole thing, or just suspected but had no evidence, so she planted the blame.
What Hu Liangdi and Liu Chenghui said before is not without influence, just like Liu Chenghui's honesty is deeply rooted, and the prince who has been married to the princess for almost six years, is he also too clear about his wife's character
In her previous life, Pan'er never considered all of this, she only knew that she just had to hold on to Emperor Jianping. But after living a new life, many things have changed. The conflicts that should have appeared between the husband and wife after the crown prince born by the princess grows up, have already surfaced impatiently at this time.
No, no, maybe these things have always existed, but she didn't know about it in her previous life.
All of this was just Pan'er's random thoughts for a moment, and she had already approached the prince while she was thinking.
"Your Highness." She stretched out her hand and tugged on his sleeve.
The prince looked at her sideways, with a calm expression: "I'll ask Zhang Laishun to take you back."
He didn't say where he was going, and Pan'er didn't ask, she thought he probably needed to be alone.
Things passed so smoothly, as if what happened that night was just a dream for everyone.
Externally, Liu Chenghui put it in a thin coffin and quietly transported it out of the palace under the pretext of sudden death from illness.
Because she died of an illness, the servants around her would naturally have to be removed. At the same time, some of Jidetang's servants were also removed. No one knew where these people went, and people in the palace generally didn't go into it.
Ma Chenghui was ill, and at the same time the princess was also ill.
However, the child in her womb was still very stubborn, as if it should have come to this world, so even if the crown princess moved her fetus several times, it would be fine. The imperial doctor came to check the pulse, but left only the third chapter who was calmly nourishing the fetus. When it was serious, he smoked some moxa and drank the anti-fetal medicine on time. Pan'er could almost predict that the baby might not be very healthy after birth.
It is worth mentioning that since this incident happened, Nanny Gao, the wet nurse whom the Prince had raised for a long time, left the mountain and took over all the affairs of the backyard from Nanny Chen.
Pan'er didn't know whether there was trouble at Jidetang, and she put all her energy on the prince.
On the third day after that incident, the prince came to Pan'er's yard. He looked the same as before, the only difference was that he was more restrained than before. He also seemed very busy, and Pan'er saw him several times. They were all in very formal attire, and it was obvious that they had come back from the outside.
The weather is still hot, but it is somewhat cool in the morning and evening, amidst the hustle and bustle, the mid-autumn festival in August is coming.
According to the rules of the palace, there will be a banquet in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, or a big banquet.
The banquet starts at noon and lasts until the evening. There are those who entertain princes and ministers, and those who entertain the emperor's relatives. Naturally, family banquets are also indispensable.
All the masters in the palace will be very busy on this day. If the princess is well, she should be with the prince, or with Empress Fu, but now everyone in the palace knows that the princess is pregnant, and the fetus looks a little bit different. No, she can only be absent.
This time the princess did not try to be brave, she ordered someone to go to Kunning Palace to plead guilty early, and she might not be able to attend when she said it was time. The prince didn't say anything after he knew about it, but a few days before the day approached, he told Pan'er that she was asked to serve Empress Fu on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The meaning of this service is unusual. On that day, Empress Fu, as the queen of the world, must appear at various banquets and follow her, which means showing her face in front of people.
Pan'er is just the lowest form of Fengyi, even if Empress Fu needs someone to serve her that day, it should be Hu Liangdi.
Well, Hu Liangdi is also pregnant, and then there are Xu Liangyuan and He Liangyuan, so it's not her turn.
"Fear?"
Pan'er was a little embarrassed. In his heart, did he feel that he was very timid
"I'm not afraid of being a concubine, but is it appropriate for me to accompany the empress on such an occasion?" She tugged on the prince's sleeve and said a little nervously.
"There's nothing inappropriate. At that time, there will be Hu Liangdi and Xu Liangyuan, and Gu will also go."
That meant that she would not be alone at that time, and Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
On the contrary, the prince laughed a little, this little girl is really worthless, she doesn't understand how to flatter her, if it were someone else who would rush to go, it would be her turn to feel inappropriate.
But precisely because of this 'inappropriate', the prince couldn't help but think a lot, and couldn't help but smile a little more in his eyes.
Fearing that she would not know the regulations at that time, it probably gave her a better idea, so the prince briefly talked about the scenes she might experience that day.
Zuo just stayed by Empress Fu's side, showed her face at banquets in various places in the palace, and on the 15th day, a woman would enter the palace early in the morning to congratulate her at Kunning Palace.
The crown prince didn't need to say these things, Pan'er knew about them, he had seen and experienced many scenes in his previous life.
However, under the light, his side face was handsome and clear, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he was talking to himself in a low voice. She suddenly discovered that this is actually not bad, as long as he treats her like an ignorant little girl, it's fine.
