Chapter 191:
The decision to return to Beijing was made very suddenly. Fortunately, most of the accompanying officials were ready to return to Beijing after the beginning of autumn, and all the things that needed to be packed were packed, so after breakfast, they were ready to go.
When they arrived, they were all the distinguished ministers and their families selected by the prince to accompany him. However, there were a few more prison cars in the team returning to the capital.
Chaopin Guogong's mansion, which has been illustrious for hundreds of years, was reduced to a prisoner overnight, which naturally caused a lot of turmoil among the accompanying officials and family members.
In this regard, the news coming out from the inner city is that someone from the Liu family is planning to murder the crown prince who has been granted a personal title, which is no different from killing the prince. The evidence is conclusive and the confessions will be made. The final disposition will be made after being escorted back to Beijing.
The news of the "intention to murder the Crown Princess" reached the ears of Wei Heng and Jiang. It was like being struck by lightning. Before they could recover, the chamberlain who delivered the news brought the news of Wei Hansu's death.
As soon as the two sides connected, Jiang didn't understand anything, so he immediately softened and was quickly held by Wei Heng's waist to support him.
Wei Heng was also a little panicked. He didn't expect that a concubine could commit such a heinous crime. Ran Ran...!
He reacted faster after all. He supported his wife with one hand and asked the servant who came over urgently: "How is my girl now? Is she okay?"
The chamberlain said respectfully: "You don't need to worry. The imperial doctor said that Miss Wei is not seriously ill, but she is not suitable for walking. She needs a good rest. The road back to Beijing is bumpy. Your Highness is not worried about the girl coming back, so she is left in the car now." Rest."
The couple heaved a sigh of relief and obeyed the emergency. They had no objection to their daughter traveling with His Highness before they were married.
Jiang was absent-minded for a moment. After clearing his thoughts, he dug his nails into the palms of his hands, forcing himself to calm down. He winked and asked Aunt Zhou to hand over a purse, and then said: "Thank you for coming, father-in-law. I don't know if I am a concubine." Where is the body?"
The waiter was not surprised. He took the purse skillfully and said with a smile: "You two don't need to worry about this. Your Highness means that the concubine of your house suddenly fell ill on the way back to Beijing. You two can choose a day to pass the news." As long as the news of her death is announced, the fact that she framed the Crown Princess cannot be spread out to make people talk about it. "
Corpse?
Where is the corpse? Who would allow the criminal who murdered the Crown Princess to be buried in glory?
When Jiang asked about Wei Hansu's body, she also hated her for daring to collude with the Liu family to murder the young daughter, and wanted to whip the body to vent her anger. However, since His Highness did not allow them to ask, she had no objection.
As the head of the family, Wei Heng thought more about it after being panicked at first.
Compared with the life and death of his concubine, he was more concerned about the safety of his young daughter and the Wei family.
The concubine in the family plotted to kill the legitimate daughter, and Ran Ran is still the future crown princess... If something happens to her because of this, and His Highness becomes murderous, the entire Wei family may be implicated.
After hearing that the matter would not be spread, he finally believed that Ran Ran was fine.
The couple received the order respectfully, and after seeing off the chamberlain, they looked at each other, and Jiang turned away.
As soon as she thought about whether her delicate little girl was still well or not and suffered a lot, Jiang, who was not very patient with Wei Heng, suddenly felt angry.
It was the daughter he had with his concubine who murdered her Ran Ran!
Wei Heng was also caught off guard by the news. He didn't understand why the concubine, who had always been meek and weak, would collude with outsiders to harm his sister.
But since His Highness the Crown Prince has made a judgment, he will definitely not be wrong.
His concubine almost killed his legitimate daughter, this is a fact.
…
The prince's palace was spacious and comfortable. Wei Hanzhang sat on the soft couch, looking at the entire four-fold double-sided painted screen that separated the inner room, and sighed that the prince's treatment was good. This is the ancient version of the RV.
A carriage, in addition to dining and sleeping rooms, even has a bathroom.
No wonder there are six horses to pull the cart.
Whether the anti-shock function is good or not, the Wei family's carriage itself is not bad, but after riding for a long time, it will still feel bumpy, making it very uncomfortable at the end of the day.
In contrast, the equipment used by the prince is top-notch, and these disadvantages are not felt at all, and the fatigue from traveling and traveling can be reduced by most.
Wei Hanzhang took a sip of tea, and his dissatisfaction with this person for detaining him here and resolutely not allowing her to return to Wei's carriage disappeared.
Xiao Junzhan sat opposite, and raised his hand to fill her empty teacup very considerately. He was really frightened by the girl's repeated accidents, and wished he could keep her under his eyes all the time. How could he let her go? go back.
It was already in the afternoon, and it started to rain lightly outside the car, bringing a bit of coolness to the originally hot weather.
In the prison car at the end of the convoy, the three members of the Liu family except Liu Wanning and Qi Yuxiao were all wearing shackles, their whole bodies were soaked by the rain, and they were in a state of embarrassment.
But they didn’t care about anything else and raised their heads to catch the rainwater to quench their thirst.
For nearly a day, the dripping water did not enter, and they were thirsty early, and the rain was in time.
The guards guarding the prison car took one look at it and continued on their way without looking back.
They lamented in their hearts the state of disparity of these dignitaries after the clouds fell.
Princess Changle looked at the rainy scene outside the car, her eyes slightly red. She held the husband's arm beside her and said worriedly: "Xiao'er is still soaking in the rain. How can she hold up as a girl?"
Prince Qi turned over a page of the book in his hand and said casually: "Xiao'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Her nine-section whip is stained with a lot of blood, and she is not much weaker than a man."
"You!" Princess Changle snatched his book angrily and said angrily: "Are you still a father? Your own daughter has suffered a great disaster, and you can still say such sarcastic words like an innocent person!"
"Shu Shushu, I know how to read your books every day!" She tore the book in her hand in half, threw it on the table, and said bitterly: "If you don't like me, Xiao'er Yan'er will always be your biological child. Bones and flesh, you just ignore them on weekdays. Now Xiao'er's life and death are uncertain, but you are not worried at all. Your heart is really made of stone! "
The cold treatment over the years has made Princess Changle restrain her arrogant temperament and learn to be gentle and show weakness. The last time she was so angry, it was many years ago now.
Prince Qi was slightly dazed, but he quickly came back to his senses. He said calmly: "If you are worried, how can things develop like this? Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince say that we will discuss how to deal with Xiao'er after returning to the capital? Your Majesty is here. , she’ll be fine.”
Princess Changle definitely agrees with this. Among the four sisters, her father dotes on her the most, and among her grandchildren, she likes her sons and daughters the most. As long as she returns to the capital and is under the wings of her father, she will not give in. Her Xiaoer had no chance of being punished for the Wei girl.
Don’t say that Wei’s daughter was just poisoned by a trivial poison. Even if something really life-or-death happened, her father would definitely not ask Xiao’er to pay for her life.
Today I will update three chapters, and then I will make up for the one I owed yesterday, which makes it four chapters. This is the second chapter, and there are two chapters left I have to work hard
