Chapter 342: Can't bear to leave him
Chapter 342 Can’t bear to leave him
Qi Wu said softly: "Your Highness, now is not the time for you to feel sad. What do you want me to do?"
Li Qihuan put down his hand and looked at the princess calmly, "What did you do? Tell me quickly."
The Crown Princess coughed a few more times before saying, "The replacement...is in my room."
"Pingting, go to the princess's room and take the things to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu, take them up and look for them..." He gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Qi Wu nodded: "How is your Royal Highness?"
Li Qihuan shook his head: "This time... I'm afraid he won't be able to make it..." After saying this, his heart ached, and his tears flowed like a river.
As soon as I finished speaking, a **** ran in from outside and was pissed. "Your Highness Taisun, the Emperor is getting off the car."
Li Qihuan raised his eyebrows and his eyes were fierce. At this moment, he really had the urge to kill everyone.
Qi Wu quickly hugged him: "Your Highness, as long as the prince is breathing, you can't be impulsive!"
Li Qihuan closed his eyes and said, "I understand, you go quickly! Xiaowu, you have important things to do, don't come back in a hurry!"
Then, he turned around and rode away.
I opened the door and went in. It was pitch dark inside, and there was no movement at all. I stayed motionless for a while to adapt...and then I concentrated on my inspection...
He identified it for a while and found the main room. There was a study room in the front and a bedroom in the back.
Carry the changed items on your back. After leaving the palace, I went to the teahouse first, put my things away, and asked people to keep an eye on them. I rode the horse again to Sheep Alley.
He changed things carefully. Normally, he would rarely complain, but today, he couldn't help but blame the Crown Princess: This woman is really a lunatic!
Hatefully checked it again.
Qi Wu nodded in agreement.
…Is there anything else?
He poured the oil from the oil lamp on the bed, then went to the study, where there was also an oil lamp. He also poured the oil on the table and cabinet, and lit fires in both places.
He flew out of the palace and rushed to the palace gate. According to Taisun's instructions, he found someone to lead the way. He knocked out two more people, sneaked into the room where Chengzhe was kept, and found the person from the Prince's Palace... Fortunately, he had just reported it and hadn't had time yet. Go to the Imperial Study Room.
Pingting walked out, then turned around: "Your Highness..." She glanced at the Crown Princess.
The concubine stopped him again and said, "There is Dong James ahead of me. I feel something is wrong. His house is in the second courtyard on the right hand side of Sheep Alley. After you have finished this matter, you'd better take a look."
Neatly dressed, looking like a scribe. James Dong? Did he commit suicide or was he silenced? !
Qi Wu squinted his eyes and searched around the room. There was a thick letter on the table... He sneered in his heart and knew what it meant without even thinking about it. He grabbed it and stuffed it into his clothes.
The quiet street was deserted... He encountered several waves of patrollers and was stopped. He showed his badge before passing.
Qi Wu took the things given to the concubine and turned to leave.
By the time the neighbors heard the noise and came out to put out the fire, he had already disappeared.
…
After a while, the fire reached the roof, and he shouted: "It's flooded!"
The study room in front is empty. Went to the back bedroom again. As soon as I entered, I discovered that there was a pillar in the middle of the small room, which was in an awkward position. Think about it again, no!
The Crown Princess saw this and was frightened and angry. What did this **** want to do?
Li Qihuan nodded and gave the princess a slap on the back of her neck...
He flew out of the hospital and saw the fire burning. It lit up the entire courtyard and made a whirring sound, but the courtyard was dead silent and no one came out...
Arrived at Sheep Alley and entered the courtyard. Quietly…
I touched the oil lamp on the table, turned it on slightly, and suddenly discovered that it was a hanging person...
…
The emperor is here.
The little old man was dressed in casual clothes and looked at his son on the bed. There was also a hint of pain and distress in his eyes.
“How did it happen?” he asked in a deep voice.
Taisun knelt at his feet, "At first it was just diarrhea, but in the end, it got worse and worse."
The emperor turned to look at his grandson and saw that he looked sluggish, and it was obvious that he had not slept for a long time. The voice is hoarse and the eyes are red and swollen. There is an air of deathly silence...
Happy: "Where is your mother and concubine?"
“My mother-in-law has fainted from crying several times...and has not been able to come to see the emperor’s grandfather.”
"Family, what are you saying? Yang Lin, what do you say?" He asked the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor explained the condition exactly. To be honest, it was really not easy to detect what the Crown Princess had done. If the prince hadn't been so weak, he wouldn't have been so dangerous.
The emperor sighed, sat next to the prince, waved his hands, and everyone left.
The emperor does not have much affection for the prince, and he only has a little affection for the prince. He took the prince's hand and sighed: "You have suffered all these years! I know that you are open-minded and take life and death lightly. If you weren't worried about walking in front and letting my father with white hair send the black hair away, I probably wouldn't. You will be lingering like this... Oh, if you care about my father, just grit your teeth and hold on. If you really can't bear it... just go with peace of mind! I will care about Huan'er."
Given this situation, perhaps his words really came from his heart.
…
Qi Wu did not go home, but went directly to Shi Shi and asked him to send someone to follow up on the Sheep Alley matter so as not to cause any more trouble. At dawn, he went to find Zhang Jiangqing again, asking him to come forward, and warned him for a long time.
Then he went to the teahouse, changed his clothes and appearance, and waited at the agreed place outside the East Palace.
It wasn't until evening that Taisun asked someone to take him in.
“How are you doing, Your Highness?”
The grandson was so tired that his eyes looked like those of a panda. The answer was not what the question was asked, "Today is New Year's Eve... The emperor's grandfather came to see the father. I don't know how many people were happy and some were sad at the palace banquet in the evening..."
"Your Highness, listen to me..." Qi Wu told him everything and took out the letter.
Taisun listened quietly and took the letter. The letter was sealed. He tore it open and read...
When I saw a certain paragraph, my eyes straightened... and I quickly glanced at Qi Wu.
Qi Wu didn't know what was going on, but his clear eyes were looking at him.
Li Qihuan kept his eyes open for a long time. Qi Wu knew that he had seen something terrible, but it was not as crazy as yesterday, but...a kind of cruelty that could destroy the world.
Then he lowered his eyes and read those few sentences carefully over and over again...
Finally, I leaned over and vomited.
Qi Wu was shocked and wanted to help him. Li Qihuan waved his hand and vomited out the two snacks and a cup of tea he had just eaten.
With tears and runny nose streaming down his face, he lay on the table, shaking but making no sound...
After a long while, he straightened up and calmed down: "Qi Wu, you did a good job. Just keep the things in the teahouse. I will read them when I have time. This letter is so timely, Dong James said that the princess asked him for a medicine a long time ago.
He didn't know what to use it for, so he bought it outside and gave it to the princess. This time, he also did something under the instruction of the Crown Princess. Therefore, when he heard that the prince was ill and submitted to the emperor the portion he had prepared, he was afraid, so he chose to die to apologize. "
Qi Wu nodded: "When I went there, the other person was already dead and there was no way to find out what was going on behind the scenes. I was just afraid that something would be missed, so I set the fire. I asked Shi Fifteen and Zhang Jiangqing to follow them, one in the dark and the other secretly."
“Okay, you did it very carefully!” Li Qihuan nodded.
Qi Wu was also troubled: "If the emperor knew that the princess poisoned the prince, and that the affairs of the East Palace were unclear, it shows that the prince is stupid, even if he survives this disaster, I'm afraid..."
“Yeah, it’s funny, right?!” Li Qihuan smiled bitterly.
"No matter what, His Royal Highness's body is the most important. How is it now?"
Li Qihuan shook his head: "My father may be worried about me and is still suffering. I really feel sorry for him...I don't want him to feel so uncomfortable anymore. But, I can't bear to leave him...what should I do?"
Qi Wu was also speechless.
After a while, someone came in and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Liu who is with the Emperor has arrived."
Li Qihuan said: "Go back! I will come back to you!"
“Your Highness, now is the most difficult time. You have to...”
“I know…know.”
When Qi Wu returned home, the Qi family decorated it with lanterns and prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner.
When Wen Yu saw him coming back gloomily, he asked, "What happened?"
He didn't speak, just sat there in a daze. Wen Yu poured a cup of tea and sat next to him obediently. "If you have any trouble, tell me. Let me break it down for you."
Qi Wu rarely sees his wife being so gentle and well-behaved. He couldn't help but choke up a little: "Ayu, I'm afraid you never understand why I am so close to my grandson, why I work hard for him, and follow him wholeheartedly, right?"
Wen Yu heard this and nodded: "I don't quite understand..."
She thought to herself: That person looks vulgar, acts stingy, and is weird. Sister Jiang doesn’t even say good things about him!
With Qi Wu’s status, it’s fine to do his own thing, so why do you have to follow him?
"Now, let me tell you...that was, when I was twelve years old..."
