The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed
Chapter 486: The Crown Prince's Death and the Unrest
"My queen, please think twice. You took great pains to save her, didn't you just want His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to remember you? If you kill her now, it will hurt the relationship between mother and son. Let's wait a little longer."
The old nanny who had served the queen all year round patiently comforted her.
"Besides, even if she wants to die, she has to die meaningfully."
The Queen took several deep breaths before she suppressed the anger in her heart.
Meanwhile, Su Yunrou followed Prince Qi back to the palace.
Along the way, she was so aggrieved that she kept crying, "Your Highness, I did something wrong. Please don't be angry. I thought Su Lihan ran back to the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to find her, but I didn't expect her to be so hateful that she actually arrested us all..."
The King of Qi was upset, but seeing Su Yunrou sobbing, he couldn't bear to let her go. He could only hold her in his arms and comfort her patiently.
"It's okay. You were just a little reckless in this matter. Next time before you do such things, you can ask me first." King Qi said.
Su Yunrou nestled in his chest and nodded repeatedly, but her hatred for Su Qingwan increased even more.
The next day, the Prince of Qi came to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize with generous gifts as the Emperor had said. It was just a formality, so he didn't even say a word, just dropped the gifts and left.
Jiang didn't care. After having someone count the money, he took it out and pawned it for cash. There was more than 20,000 taels!
When the King of Qi found out about this, he was furious.
At the same time, rumors spread in the capital that there was chaos in the harem of Prince Qi and that the Prince favored his maid. Storytellers in teahouses even changed the names of dynasties and told several ridiculous versions of the story.
The news of the Prince of Qi's good deeds eventually reached the Queen's family, and the female relatives entered the palace that very day. When the Queen heard about it, she was so angry that she trembled all over. After some consolation, she calmed them down, but the marriage was postponed.
She originally wanted to try her best to bring them together, but the situation of the Crown Prince in the East Palace became bad, and the Queen's whole attention was drawn to that, so she no longer cared about the Prince of Qi's marriage.
During this period, Su Qingwan also received news from Li Yuncheng that the prince was dying!
Su Qingwan recalled the time of her previous life. The prince should have passed away in these few days.
Two days later, Su Yuewen returned to the Marquis' Mansion with a gloomy face.
"Brother, why do you look so unhappy? What happened?" Su Qingwan asked, but she had already guessed it in her heart.
"The prince has passed away!"
Su Yuewen sighed. He had heard from Lord Han before that the prince was extremely intelligent and capable, much better than King Rui, King Qi and others. It was a pity that he was envied by his talent and was plagued by illness, so he did not survive.
Su Qingwan also sighed and looked at the blue sky outside. A few white clouds were already floating in the sky.
"The world is going to be in chaos."
Whenever something happens to the crown prince, it always causes a shock to the court and chaos. What's more, this time there is also the extremely ambitious guy Li Yuncheng!
But it’s okay this time. His talent is far beyond those princes, not to mention that he and I are in a cooperative relationship.
When the crown prince passed away, the whole country was in mourning. White wormwood was hung everywhere in the capital, and a curfew was imposed. Even the pleasant activities of listening to music and storytelling in teahouses during the day were banned.
The wedding date originally scheduled for the Marquis of Chengping and the Duke of Guo had to be postponed. Jiang had been busy with Su Yuewen's wedding and rebuilding the Marquis' Mansion, so she had not had time to divorce Su Zhiru.
There were cries everywhere, and the cries were even louder in the palace.
The queen stood in front of the prince's coffin and cried bitterly.
Emperor Wen Jin also had a sad look on his face, and he seemed to have aged several years. After all, his most outstanding son was gone.
Prince Rui, Prince Qi and others also cried along with the Queen, and many of them had swollen eyes from crying.
However, King Rui glanced at King Qi casually and coughed gently a few times. Today was a good time to send King Qi off.
Emperor Wen Jin was in the inner hall, looking coldly at the ministers kneeling before him.
They are really great!
The crown prince had just passed away, and his body had not even been buried in the imperial mausoleum, but they were already urging themselves to appoint a new crown prince.
"In your opinion, my dear ministers, who among my sons is most suitable to enter the Eastern Palace?" Emperor Wen Jin asked calmly.
The chief eunuch who stood silently with his head bowed glanced at the ministers with regret. He knew the emperor too well. At this moment, the emperor must have been extremely angry, so he could ask questions so calmly.
You guys are really courting death!
Why not bring up the matter of appointing a crown prince at some other time? Why do you have to bring it up when the emperor is most sad?
"I think that among the princes, both Prince Rui and Prince Qi are quite outstanding. However, Prince Rui is ill. If he is appointed as the crown prince, it may cause unrest in the country. Therefore, I think Prince Qi is the most suitable!"
"I originally intended to pay attention to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, but his health...so the Crown Prince may choose between Prince An and Prince Qi."
"I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is the most suitable. Firstly, he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are both the children of the Empress, and they belong to the royal family!"
"Wei Chen believes that although Prince Rui has a hidden illness, he has been receiving treatment from the imperial physician and will be fully recovered soon. Prince Rui is also extremely intelligent and has a heart for the country, so he is the best choice for the crown prince."
……
What these people said seemed to compare several princes, but in fact most of them favored the Prince of Qi to be the crown prince.
After hearing this, Emperor Wen Jin sneered in his heart, and his eyes turned colder when he looked at these people.
"My dear ministers, you are all pillars of the country. I will think carefully about what you said. Please go down first. We can discuss all matters after the Crown Prince's funeral."
"My Lords, please!"
The chief eunuch was afraid that there might be some ungrateful people among them, so he hurriedly urged them to leave.
Several ministers could only bow and leave. After everyone left, the chief eunuch carefully comforted him, "Your Majesty, please have a cup of health tea to moisten your throat."
"Go and find Li Yuncheng." Wen Jindi said.
These days, he has been thinking about who to make the crown prince if he passes away. He does not have many choices. Instead of handing the world over to King Rui and King Qi, it would be better to hand it over to his good son, King An.
However, Prince An is weak, so he needs a regent, and Li Yuncheng is undoubtedly the best choice.
I watched him grow up, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he is my son, but there is still a little difference.
Li Yuncheng already knew that someone had mentioned the matter of appointing another crown prince to the emperor today. He did not expect that Prince Rui and Prince Qi could not help themselves now. He just did not know what the emperor wanted him to do.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays his respects!" Li Yuncheng was wearing a white linen robe, the same as the other clan members outside.
"Yun Cheng, which of those cousins do you think is suitable to be the crown prince?" asked Emperor Wen Jin.
"Your Majesty will make the final decision. I dare not speak rashly."
For him, it doesn't matter who is made the crown prince, because the only one who can ascend the throne is himself.
Emperor Wen Jin laughed because of his words, and his laughter became louder and louder.
After nightfall, an inconspicuous eunuch sent out the news he had just received. The news spread more and more, and after the prince was buried, almost everyone in the capital knew the news.
