After marrying Prince Mobei, the beauties were crazily criticized and favored crazily

Chapter 173 Serve more with one stone

It's rare for Helan Linzhang to see her squeamish, how could he not agree?

It's just that everything takes time.

On this day, it began to rain lightly in the early morning.

Except for the imperial guards and military generals who would still go out on horseback, more people stayed in the tents to cook tea and wine.

But soon, everyone lost their minds because the imperial concubine passed away.

It is no secret that the imperial concubine was ill for a few days, and it is no secret that Ding Zhen went to see a doctor every day. The clan wife even failed to enter the imperial concubine's tent, but many people thought that the imperial concubine was not ill. , I just wanted to hide my shame, who would have thought that I was really sick, and I was gone in just a few days!
If the imperial concubine's tent hadn't accidentally caught fire, no one would have known that the imperial concubine had gone.

The Eastern Qi Emperor was furious and punished all those who served the imperial concubine. The second prince fell ill in grief, and the second imperial concubine was also weak, so he relied on the empress alone for the affairs of the imperial concubine.

"Is he really dead?" the prince asked beside the queen in a voice that only the mother and son could hear.

The queen nodded, "Yes. But..."

She stroked her hair cautiously and gestured again.

The prince gasped, "It's gone?"

"En." The queen covered the corners of her lips, and said softly: "And after seeing the remains of the imperial concubine, His Majesty said that the silk dress on the imperial concubine was her favorite, so there is no need to change it, just put on the dress."

"But when I went to the palace, I saw that the noble concubine had already changed into her gown, and even put on her crown."

"Maybe it's Father..."

"No." The queen said with an ugly face, "I rushed over after hearing this. It is impossible for the concubine to change clothes so quickly. Moreover, there is a strange smell on the concubine's body, which seems to be stinky but not stinky. It will be fine then, but if you smell it again, you will feel like vomiting."

When she said this, she naturally asked the palace servants around her, and it was obviously not her problem alone.

The prince was startled. Doesn't this mean that the imperial concubine has already prepared everything?
"Your Majesty has been here all the time. I could only find an opportunity for someone to take a closer look. That's why I found out that there is something wrong with her hair. Moreover, the imperial concubine has put on a lot of rouge, and her makeup is a bit too heavy." The Queen said.

The prince suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Mother, can you notice whether the imperial concubine's tent is hot or cold?"

"Huh?" The queen thought about it carefully, narrowing her eyes and said, "It's a little cold, but it rained early this morning, the imperial concubine was not feeling well, and she didn't want people to disturb her, so she kicked everyone out... The curtain is too big, There are few people inside, so it’s okay if it’s cooler? And if it weren’t for this, the candlesticks wouldn’t be blown down by the wind, and the tent would not be found on fire. Think about it, with so many people fighting the fire, it must be cold inside the tent! It’s water again. It was raining again, and the tent was burned again..."

The prince soon realized that something was wrong, "Since the tent is set alight, even if the fire is extinguished quickly, there will still be a smell of smoke and fire. How can the queen mother still smell the smell of incense powder?"

The queen thought, "That's right, it's impossible for me to get close to sniff."

If she really went to smell it closely, she would smell the stench of the imperial concubine's body.

If Ding Zhen hadn't prepared the medicine to overpower the smell in the tent, and had tried to cover the spots on the imperial concubine's body, the death of the imperial concubine would have been hidden for a long time.

The unexpected fire and the unexpected light rain in the early morning really made several families happy and others sad.

Emperor Dongqi breathed a sigh of relief, this matter can be settled openly.

The Kangping Hou Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, the news about Mrs. Luo was true.

Ding Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to face the stinking and worthless imperial concubine's corpse every day.

But the queen, who should have breathed a sigh of relief, fell into melancholy after talking to the prince. The death of the noble concubine was not simple. As a queen, she didn't know anything about it.Does His Majesty distrust her?If the imperial concubine really died of illness, it would be fine, but if it was something else, would it make His Majesty pay more attention to the second prince?If so, wouldn't the Second Prince's family be even more insane?
Empress Dowager Yang was also worried, she became suspicious.

Of course, the most worrying thing is the second prince.

In the past, he was able to enter the palace on the grounds of being filial to his mother and concubine, but now he can't.

And in the future, no one will help him blow the pillow wind in his father's ear.

How other people feel is unknown.

Anyway, everyone looked sad, silent and quiet.

And on this day, after Dali Temple investigated Bai Ru's matter, it also made a note to Emperor Dongqi.At the same time, the impeachment of Duke Cheng'en's government also rained down on Emperor Dongqi's desk.

Outside the tent, Luo Xiyao watched the imperial concubine's ice coffin leave, and asked He Lan Linzhang, "Is that you?"

"if not?"

"I'll just ask casually."

In the drizzle, the second prince Bai Yanwen was dressed in filial piety, and Su Jiayan in a plain white robe was standing not far from him.

"Second prince, just now Luo Jiuniang has been staring at this side." Su Jiayan said softly.

A subtle expression flashed in the eyes of the second prince, he sighed, and said: "She is so smart, she doesn't know that we have been targeting her. Now that the concubine mother is gone, she will naturally want to see how embarrassed I am. If If it wasn't for the emperor's presence, maybe she would still laugh out loud. That's all, winner and loser, this time I really lost a round to her."

Su Jiayan said with concern: "Second prince, you and I have known each other for many years. If there is a need, I will do my best."

The second prince smiled wryly and said: "Once the mother and concubine are gone, the harem will be the empress's voice. As long as the prince has a son, he will be as stable as Mount Tai, but what about me? In the future, I can only be a rich and idle person."

"I got a message..."

"Huh?" The second prince looked sideways at him, then made a gesture to leave, and Su Jiayan quickly followed.

Emperor Dongqi had a headache from his grief, Ding Zhen and Eunuch Hong followed him back to the imperial tent, and the crowd dispersed as the imperial concubine's ice coffin left.

Luo Xiyao said casually: "The weather in Yujiang is abnormal, and the surrounding area may start to lack water. The drought has begun to appear. Su Jiayan must want the second prince to win the chance to rescue the disaster."

He Lan Linzhang nodded, and said: "Once the warehouse is opened to release the grain, the second prince will have a reputation and at the same time scrape off a layer of oil from the court. But opening the warehouse to release the grain can only relieve the urgent need. If there is a locust plague, it will be useless at all."

"Yes!" Luo Xiyao looked at the gloomy sky, her eyelashes were wet from the rain, she looked a little weak, but her words were extremely cold, "At this time, isn't it Boss Jia's turn to come forward? "

"If Boss Jia stepped forward, there would be no one to accompany Jiuniang." Once he used the identity of Boss Jia, the person in the capital would be a substitute, and naturally the substitute would not be able to appear by her side anytime and anywhere to accompany her.

But if he wanted to rob the court of food for disaster relief, how could he rest assured if he didn't go there himself?
"The food provided by the imperial court is definitely good, but it's definitely not enough. More food needs to be produced from harvested lands. At that time, the second prince and his like will definitely replace the food." Luo Xiyao said lightly, "If you start first To be stronger, let people expose their food mixed with sand and stones, the common people will get benefits, and Dong Qi will also have fun watching, it will serve multiple purposes!"
