Chapter 731 Heavy Rain and a Shrewd Woman Take Her Life
The emperor and the empress guessed that Xiao Jingyu must have something to do when he came to the palace early in the morning.
However, the son did not speak on his own initiative, and they did not ask any more questions, thinking that it would not be too late to talk about it after letting their son fill his stomach first.
Now, my son said that someone will rush to the palace to say good morning...
Who?
Is it their eldest son... the current crown prince?
No, impossible!
Just yesterday, they received a letter from their eldest son saying he was safe. The eldest son and his wife are still hundreds of miles away in Wumian Prefecture!
Even if they set off back to Beijing immediately, it would still take several days on the road. It was impossible for them to suddenly enter the palace early this morning!
So it could be... their good nephew?
Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying thought of the same person at the same time and looked at each other again, but no one spoke, just waiting for Xiao Jingyu to speak.
The emperor and empress looked at Xiao Jingyu together.
Xiao Jingyu met the gazes of his father and mother and nodded slightly, "Yes, it is my good cousin!
I guess that my good cousin did not sleep well last night...I'm afraid he did not sleep well all night!
As for breakfast...it must have not been eaten yet.
I think, after he got the news that his son had come to the palace to pay his respects, he also rushed into the palace to greet his father, the emperor, and his mother... Oh, no, it was his uncle and aunt who were greeted good morning!
This one is to express his filial piety as a nephew;
The second one, of course, is to say that...something has nothing to do with him."
Sure enough, there is something going on... It seems... This is a big deal!
Emperor Hong De placed the teacup in his hand on the table. When he looked at Xiao Jingyu, there was no longer the disdain for his son that he had just pretended to have, nor was there the ease with which the father and son bickered on a daily basis.
Emperor Hongde asked Xiao Jingyu seriously: "Yu'er, what happened last night?"
Xiao Jingyu did not answer his father's question, but looked at his father and mother and said very seriously: "Let's not talk about what happened last night yet.
Father, Mother, my good cousin will probably be here soon.
What happened last night...cannot be fully described in just a few words.
After hearing this, I'm afraid my father and mother would also...
I should wait for him to arrive, listen to him express his filial piety first, and then let him test it...
After he leaves, I will tell my father and mother the whole story in detail.
Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Your good cousin will not stay in the palace for too long. He has to hurry back home to wait for the news he is waiting for!
Also, when he arrives, Father and Mother should treat him as usual, and it’s best not to let him notice anything unusual! "
Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying wanted to ask more questions, but at this time, they heard the report from the head palace maid Shu Xiu coming from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Queen, His Royal Highness Prince Yi has come to the palace to pay his respects!
"He's really here!"
The emperor and empress looked at each other, and then looked at Xiao Jingyu together.
Xiao Jingyu smiled, nodded to his father and mother, picked up the chopsticks and picked up another small soup dumpling.
Queen Luan Xiying ordered outside the palace: "Please invite His Royal Highness Prince Yi in to talk!"
As the Queen finished speaking, the palace door opened and Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi strode in from outside the palace with his signature smile on his face, as warm as the spring breeze!
Speaking of the Xiao royal family, they all have good looks.
However, this Xiao Jingyi... has a good figure and a good appearance...
As a son of the royal family, he is full of elegance and nobility.
But somehow, he always gives people a sense of sinister aura that is hard to ignore.
No matter how bright and sincere the smile on his face was, it still felt like... he was wearing a finely painted mask!
Be it Emperor Hongde, Empress Luan Xiying, Crown Prince Xiao Jingye and the brothers Xiao Jingyu, they all knew where Xiao Jingyi's sinister aura came from.
It’s simply because of the dragon throne in the Golden Palace.
Back then, as the eldest son of the late emperor, the late crown prince was of good character and excellent academic performance, so it was natural for him to be named the crown prince.
However, during a royal autumn hunt, the prince was accidentally injured while trying to save his younger brother, now Emperor Hongde.
After that, he, who was already a little frail, was often bedridden.
The Crown Princess at that time, Xiao Jingyi's biological mother, thought that her position as the Crown Princess was secure after giving birth to Xiao Jingyi, the eldest son of the Eastern Palace, and she no longer concealed her capricious and domineering temperament!
From then on, there was chaos in the Eastern Palace every day, and there was no peace.
When the late emperor heard about this, he was so angry that he sent two gentle and lovely concubines to the Eastern Palace.
Just for the two beautiful concubines awarded by the late emperor, the princess had a big fight with the late prince. Not only did she scratch the late prince's face, she also threatened to commit suicide by jumping into the lake in the back garden.
She ignored the heavy rain outside and refused to listen to the former crown prince's explanation or his promise to return the two concubines. She rushed out of the house and ran to the back garden in the heavy rain.
The prince first caught up with her in the rain, and after a long struggle in the heavy rain, he finally persuaded the crown princess, who was unwilling and making a lot of noise, to go back.
The Crown Prince was already weak and frail, and after being caught in the rain, he caught a severe cold.
All the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau were dispatched, but in the end, they were unable to save the late crown prince's life!
The former prince passed away just like that!
