Chapter 222 Jiang Mansion was surrounded
As rumored, the prince did die at the hands of a woman, and that woman was Cui Yingqiu.
Cui Yingqiu drank and danced with the prince as usual, and finally rolled into bed. But not long after they started having sex, the prince began to shake violently on Cui Yingqiu's body. Cui Yingqiu only felt a heat coming. At first she thought that the prince was too excited, but she didn't expect that he would stop moving after a while.
Cui Yingqiu then realized that something was wrong. She was so scared that she quickly got up from the bed, touched the prince's nose and found that he had stopped breathing. She screamed and collapsed to the ground in fear. Then she came to her senses and quickly extinguished the burning incense.
Cui Yingqiu knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he laughed even louder.
"Hahaha."
Jiang Yutong saw Cui Yingqiu suddenly going crazy, so he lowered the curtain and waited until the people left before letting the coachman drive the carriage.
Jiang Yutong detained the servants and stayed at home most of the time. The emperor was heartbroken about the prince, and he died in such a way. The whole court was shrouded in dark clouds.
The Queen Mother is ill and has been bedridden. The Queen has only one prince, the Crown Prince, which is heartbreaking.
As a member of the royal family, Jiang Yutong also had to kneel in the palace to pay homage. Early in the morning, Jiang Yutong came to the palace gate in plain clothes.
I saw Pluto's chariot in front of me.
Xiao Yifeng was standing beside them on horseback.
Seeing Jiang Yutong, Xiao Yifeng got off his horse and walked to Jiang Yutong's side.
Jiang Yutong lifted the curtain and bowed to Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng glanced around and whispered, "Follow Changning when we enter the palace."
Jiang Yutong responded softly and nodded towards Princess Changning.
Xiao Yifeng couldn't stay for long, so he left after giving his instructions.
As expected, as soon as they entered the palace gate, Changning was waiting for them, and they walked in together with Jiang Yutong.
The palace was all white, with the prince's coffin parked in the middle. Many monks in the palace were chanting sutras, and at this moment, many people were kneeling there crying.
Jiang Yutong saw Xie Xinran, who was wearing white mourning clothes and kneeling there crying sadly. Although she had not yet married into the family, she had exchanged engagement letters with the prince.
Changning brought Jiang Yutong to the location of the Pluto Palace and knelt down.
There was a futon on the ground. The weather was still quite cold, and after kneeling for a while, his legs felt icy and cold. Although Jiang Yutong had prepared for this and wrapped cotton around his knees, he still couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, at this moment, the maidservant beside Princess Pluto came and whispered something in Changning's ear. Changning pulled Jiang Yutong's arm and stood up.
"Mother asked us to come over."
The Princess of Hades was currently accompanying the Queen Mother, who was also ill and half-leaning on the bed.
Jiang Yutong greeted him.
The Queen Mother raised her hand and said, "Get up."
Princess Pluto said to Jiang Yutong, "The Queen Mother is feeling a little unwell, please help her."
Jiang Yutong bowed, took the Queen Mother's pulse, and asked some more questions.
Nanny Gui said beside her, "The Queen Mother just has a headache and can't sleep well at night."
Jiang Yutong probably knew about it, but she was mainly heartbroken. After all, the prince was the empress dowager's grandson, and it was hard for her to accept that he died like that.
"I'll prescribe two prescriptions for you to take first, and then I'll give you a massage."
After saying that, Jiang Yutong went downstairs and started writing. Nanny Gui took the prescription and asked the imperial physician to look at it before prescribing the medicine.
Jiang Yutong stood behind the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, let me give you a massage."
The Queen Mother nodded. Jiang Yutong pressed the Queen Mother's head gently. Slowly, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and soon she began to breathe softly.
Nanny Gui felt delighted. This was the fastest time for the Empress Dowager to fall asleep. She hadn't slept much the previous night.
Seeing that the empress dowager had fallen asleep, Jiang Yutong slowly stopped what he was doing and the group slowly left the bedroom.
After coming out, Aunt Gui bowed to Jiang Yutong and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang has a solution."
Princess Dou said directly, "Yutong, you and Changning will stay here with the Queen Mother to look after her."
Aunt Gui also said, "Yes, you guys stay."
Jiang Yutong stayed in the Queen Mother's Palace with Changning.
At this moment, the chief eunuch from the palace came hurriedly and said, "Madame Gui, is the Empress Dowager free?"
Aunt Gui frowned as she watched the eunuchs hurrying by. "But what happened?"
The eunuch looked at the other people in the room and hesitated.
Princess Dou quickly said, "I'll take the children down first. We'll come back when the Queen Mother wakes up."
Aunt Gui nodded.
When the chief eunuch saw that no one was around, he said, "The emperor got really angry and kicked the seventh prince. Now the seventh prince is still kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace."
Jiang Yutong, who was walking behind, only vaguely heard the Seventh Prince kneeling.
Nanny Gui frowned. The seventh prince lost his mother when he was young and was bullied in the palace. Later, the empress dowager couldn't bear it and often took care of him. Over time, she also loved him a little. At this critical juncture, he was kicked by the emperor. It must be a serious matter.
But the Queen Mother had just finally fallen asleep, and Nanny Gui was a little hesitant.
"The Queen Mother didn't sleep all night and just went to bed. Let's wait a little longer."
The chief eunuch didn't dare to speak.
Jiang Yutong and Changning came over after the empress dowager woke up. Just as they reached the door of the bedroom, they heard the sound of dishes being broken inside.
"My children have grown up and have their own ambitions. Never mind. Just pretend I don't know about this. I'm old and can't care less."
Jiang Yutong and Changning waited outside for a while, and only called someone to report when there was no movement inside.
When they entered, they saw the Queen Mother holding her forehead and sighing. Seeing them, she smiled and said, "You are here. Come and sit down."
Holding Jiang Yutong's hand, he said, "You are so skillful. I rarely get a good night's sleep."
Jiang Yutong softly consoled her, "The Queen Mother likes it. Yutong will teach this technique to the palace maids below so that they can also sleep well."
"it is good."
Jiang Yutong stayed in the Queen Mother's palace until the Crown Prince's funeral.
After the prince's funeral, several things happened in the capital. Xie Xinran moved to the prince's mansion to live. He heard that the prince's concubine in the backyard was pregnant. Now Xie Xinran is taking care of the concubine wholeheartedly, waiting for the child to be born, and then raising the child under his own name.
Another major event was that the Seventh Prince was imprisoned by the Emperor and scolded in front of all the civil and military officials, calling him "unfilial and unbrotherly."
The Seventh Prince never showed up again.
The Liang family closed many shops and stopped their shipping business.
It seemed that everything had calmed down.
Soon, news of war came from the border.
Not long after the Prince of Nanman returned, he launched the war again. This time, the Nanman people came with grenades, and grenades were no longer a weapon unique to Da Qi.
When the emperor got the news, he scolded everyone in the court and demanded a thorough investigation into the leak of the grenade recipe.
The Jiang Mansion was surrounded.
