The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 173 What If I Can Find It?
It only took five short days from the news that Mrs. Wang was seriously ill to the time when the crown prince let her die.

The crown prince thought that he had killed all the people around Wang, and that the East Palace would not spread bad news about him. As soon as Wang died of illness, he sent someone to the Wang family to inform the news. Ask for the title for the Wang family, and choose another Wang family daughter as the side concubine among the offshoots of the Wang family.

Although the queen felt that there was something strange about it, but the Wang family was dead, and all she could do was help the prince to finish it better.

The prince felt even more at ease. In terms of means, especially the control over the people around him, the queen was far better than the prince.

If it is true that everything has been concealed as the prince wants, then the prince's actions are naturally extremely wooing, and the Wang family will not care too much about the cause of Wang's death, and will even thank the prince for his kindness to the Wang family, and treat the prince even more loyal.

It's a pity that all the prince's actions were done with the help of Xu Qingluo. With the help of Xu Qingluo, the maid who knew everything by Wang's side was sent out of the East Palace and into the Wang family.

"My poor daughter!"

Listening to the servant girl telling about her daughter's death, Mrs. Guo felt her eyes darken, wishing she could kill the prince.

She fought for her whole life, but she only had a daughter like the Wang family. After her daughter died, the Wang family cared more about who would take her daughter's place. She was heartbroken at first, but now that she knew the truth, her daughter was not worried at all. Excessively ill, he was killed by the prince.

"Prince, that hypocrite, my daughter can't die in vain!"

The Guo family was able to gain a foothold in the Wang family and gave birth to a daughter who made her the crown prince's side concubine. Naturally, she was not as naive and impulsive as her own daughter. Her eyes were full of hatred, and she looked at the only surviving maid on the ground: " I will ask Jin Momo to put you in the side courtyard first, and you will come out when the crown prince attends the funeral for my daughter."

-

Although Wang's dead prince thinks that the cover-up is perfect, he is avoiding too much recently, and everything will not go wrong after Wang's funeral. It's not that he suspects that the matter of killing Wang Shi is weird. After all, Xu Qingluo's medicine is to amplify the emotions in his heart, but it doesn't completely lose his mind.

What he wondered was how it happened that Mrs. Wang knew that he had gone to the Qixiangyuan, and how he met a woman in that Qixiangyuan by such a coincidence, who looked a little like Xu Qingluo.

The prince sent someone to Qixiangyuan, but Yufu had already disappeared without a trace.

The prince no longer knew that he was being designed, he was a fool, he started to check the people around him again, everyone in the East Palace was in danger for a while.

Xu Qingluo kept an eye on the movements of the prince and the Wang family at all times. The prince's reaction was as expected, but it was strange that the Wang family didn't show any signs of life.

Ding Dong was a little worried that the Wang family would just acquiesce in Wang's death and would not pursue the crown prince at all: "After all, she is a daughter of a concubine, and the Wang family now has a daughter of a concubine. After two years of age, they can still compete for the position of the crown prince. The first daughter will not enter the East Palace, and the crown prince also promised to give a side concubine to the daughter of the side branch Wang."

Xu Qingluo tapped his fingers on his knees, listened to Ding Dong's words, and raised his head for a while: "The Wang family will not acquiesce. Although the Wang family cooperates with the prince, it is not a family that is completely dependent on the prince to survive. The Wang family committed suicide by the prince himself. Yes, with such a disposition, no matter how many daughters the Wang family has, they would not dare to send them to the East Palace. The Wang family may not cherish their daughters, but it is not in the interest of the Wang family if the daughter's life can't be exchanged for anything. The prince's heart of tiger and wolf is not enough intersect."

The corners of Xu Qingluo's lips twitched slightly: "On the day of Wang's funeral, there will probably be a good show to watch."

Although the crown prince talked about making Wang's funeral a big deal, he was more anxious than anyone else to bury Wang's as soon as possible.

So three days later, Donggong's posts had been posted all over the official families in the capital.

Even Xu Qingluo has a post in his hand.

Early in the morning, she tidied up and put on a plain shirt. She didn't apply any makeup, but she had a radiant and clear appearance.

"Miss, are you really going to the East Palace to pay homage to the Wang family? What if something happens to you?"

Baicao said worriedly while looking at the beautiful figure of her young lady who grew more and more.

After coming to the capital, Xu Qingluo didn't let her participate in many things in order to protect her. After all, this place is no better than anywhere else, and no one will care if someone like Baicao loses his life easily.

It's just that Baicao is serving Xu Qingluo personally, and many things are known naturally, such as the crown prince's intentions for Xu Qingluo.

The gifts from the East Palace that Xu Qingluo rejected were quite a lot.

"The hundred guards around me are not vegetarians, and the prince should not be in the mood to trouble me today, he is constantly involved in himself."

The corners of Xu Qingluo's lips curled up slightly, picked up a plum blossom hairpin, and inserted it between the buns.

Xu Qingluo is now the county lord of Yu Feng, and behind her is a team of well-trained guards to protect her. Even if she is wearing simple clothes, at this moment, no one dares to underestimate this woman.

A few months ago, she was a commoner doctor, and the noble ladies who knew her talked about it in a disdainful tone, and more people didn't even want to know about Xu Qingluo.

But a few months later, Xu Qingluo was already the Lord of Wupin County, and he was granted the household title of Shiyi by His Majesty. He could walk freely in the court, and was protected by the guards. As a woman, Xu Qingluo is now better than many men climb much faster.

As soon as Xu Qingluo arrived, a woman couldn't help but took the initiative to chat with her, and Xu Qingluo smiled decently.

"This side concubine is also pitiful. Although she has a bad temper, she shouldn't die at such a young age. The crown prince doesn't have a concubine now, but if she has a son and a half, she will not be too bad in the future. , Hey, it’s all too much thinking, women, you should look at it more, it’s nothing for a man to want more women, although it sounds bad for the prince to want the brothel girl, isn’t it even less threatening to her status? .”

As we talked, the topic naturally turned to the protagonists of today's funeral, Mrs. Wang and the crown prince.

Xu Qingluo listened to the women around him talking about Mrs. Wang in a sighing tone on the surface, but there was a faint gloating inside and outside the words. Mrs. Wang was too domineering and arrogant, leaving no way out. A concubine who was born as a concubine became a side concubine of the Eastern Palace, and she was still a side concubine without a main concubine on her head. I don't know how many people secretly waited for her to be unlucky.

Xu Qingluo lowered her eyes, a little annoyed.

There was a faint commotion outside, and Xu Qingluo heard that it was someone from the Wang family who had arrived.

She looked up.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Mrs. Guo."

The crown prince personally greeted the members of the Wang family, and addressed Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang directly to father-in-law and mother-in-law, with a mournful expression on his face.

The Wang family is only the side concubine of the crown prince, and the members of the Wang family are not considered to be the serious crown prince Yue family. Once the title of prince is given, it shows that they attach great importance to and respect the Wang family.

"Yao'er and Ben Gong have a deep love, but unfortunately the love is deep and the relationship is shallow, and the love will not last long. Yao'er's youth is damaged. It is my fault. I am here to make amends to my father-in-law and Mrs. Guo."

The prince bowed to salute, his face full of shame.

"The prince doesn't have to be like this, because Yao'er is not blessed, there is no way to continue to serve the prince, but Yao'er has done a lot of wrong things a few days ago, the prince is still giving Yao'er such honor after death, the old man is very relieved."

Mr. Wang is currently residing in one of the six departments of the imperial court. His brothers, nephews and nephews all have different developments in the court, and his father is even known as the master of the world. It is extremely grand.

Otherwise, the Wang family would not be so domineering. The prince and Mr. Wang showed such affection in front of Wang's funeral, which made many people who felt that the prince's position was unstable felt that the prince still had a future.

The restless thoughts were gradually extinguished.

Guo Shi watched the exchange between the crown prince and Mr. Wang, and saw the prince's face of nostalgia for Wang, and felt that his silver teeth had been bitten into pieces.

"Your Highness, this concubine only has one daughter, Yao'er. Thinking of Yao'er's rush to go, I have never even seen the last face, and I feel extremely regretful. Please allow me to change my daughter's clothes today, so that I can send Yao'er to her for the last time. Procedure."

Guo said so.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of sadness.

The prince's hand twitched nervously, as if he could still feel the broken neck of that woman from Wang's fingertips.

"Mrs. Guo, Yao'er already has a female officer sent by her mother to help Yao'er. Yao'er loves beauty the most, and her face was dismal when she died. It's better for Mrs. Guo not to see someone who is even more sad. Yao'er probably doesn't want Mrs. Guo to die again in the end." Sad for once."

How could the crown prince be willing to let Mrs. Guo go directly to see Mrs. Wang's corpse? Even though the queen's people have already disposed of the corpse, the safest way is to directly cover the coffin and bury it. It is the last time to prevent Mrs. Guo from seeing Mrs. Wang OK

Guo Shi clenched her fists tightly, wanting to bite off a piece of the prince's body, what does it mean to have a dismal face when she dies, if he hadn't strangled her own daughter to death, how could Yao'er have a dismal face when she died.

How painful it was when her daughter died.

Guo took a deep breath and was about to speak again.

Mrs. Wang said: "Sister, what the prince said is right, Yao'er definitely doesn't want you to be more sad, the people sent by the empress are all safe people, and they will definitely not make a difference in helping Yao'er to tidy up her appearance, sister If your body is weak, don't go to the spirit anymore, it will only make you sad."

Mrs. Wang gave Guo Shi a wink, which meant to let her stop being troublesome.

Guo Shi only felt that his whole heart was soaked in bitter water. The death of his daughter was strange. Could it be that no one wanted to seek justice for her except himself?
Mrs. Guo is not a simple woman, but she has been used to being humble in front of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang all her life. At this moment, she herself has no hope of being able to visit Mrs. Wang in person at the Lingqian.

just
Guo's eyes turned hard, thinking that if she couldn't go to the Lingqian to see Wang's body directly, then she might as well let the maidservant make a fuss, even if the effect would be too bad, no matter what, she would never make the prince feel better .

"Come here, serve father-in-law, mother-in-law and Mrs. Guo go in"

The prince heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his head to ask someone to lead the Wang family in.

At this moment, a faint female voice sounded: "Mother and daughter are deeply in love. Once life and death are separated, they have never seen each other for the last time. What a pity. I think for Mrs. Guo, she would rather be sad today than miss her in the future." It's much better, compared to being dressed and changed by two unknown palace people, the concubine Wang would prefer that person to be her biological mother, the nature of mother and daughter, if His Royal Highness really feels guilty towards the Wang family and the concubine Wang If so, why not answer Mrs. Guo's reasonable request. To be honest, most of the people who dress and dress the dead woman at the funeral are blood relatives. If you are worried that Mrs. Guo will not be able to bear it later, The little girl is quite proficient in medical skills, so she can help take care of Mrs. Guo's body."

Xu Qingluo's medical skills are not limited to proficiency. Those who are well-connected in the room know that she is now highly valued by His Majesty. It is precisely because of her excellent medical skills that they are not inferior to the imperial physicians in the palace.

"You, Mrs. Xu, this is a matter between the Wang family and this palace. What position do you have to speak out! A woman should be dignified and cautious, not you who are so provocative."

No matter how thoughtful the crown prince is about Xu Qingluo, he has repeatedly fallen into embarrassment because of Xu Qingluo before, but now he has the thought of not wanting people to see the truth, and he is extremely rude to Xu Qingluo for a while. .

If other women were reprimanded by the crown prince in such a public manner, either they would lose face and wish to leave immediately, or they would be silent and dare not speak out again, but Xu Qingluo was not the other woman. Facing the crown prince's unkind words, she said calmly: " What is your highness so excited about? The courtier and daughter are just speaking out what is in their hearts and what they should say. Since your highness has a deep affection for the concubine Wang, you shouldn't stop the mother and daughter from seeing each other for the last time. Could it be that your highness has something to say? Can't you hide it?"

Xu Qingluo's last words were very light, but they were very heavy in the prince's ears.

"you!"

The prince glared at Xu Qingluo angrily, thinking that all the flaws that the queen mother said had been covered up, out of trust in the queen, he slowly put his hands behind his back, with a cold face: "My heart, the world can learn from it!" Since Mrs. Guo is going to see Yao'er for the last time, let's go."

Master Wang frowned, and glanced at Mrs. Guo, which meant to make her refuse.

Mrs. Guo turned a blind eye to Master Wang's eyes and bowed down: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me a loving mother's heart."

"Xu Xianjun, you can't go in."

Xu Qingluo was blocked by two palace men at the door.

Before Xu Qingluo could speak, Mrs. Guo had already spoken first: "My lady is weak, and I am worried that I will be stimulated later. The county lord is very skilled in medicine, and the crown prince didn't stop it just now. Why do you have any reason to stop it?"

Mrs. Guo originally wanted to find a loophole and make things worse, but Xu Qingluo just offered to help. No matter what Xu Qingluo had in mind, Mrs. Guo didn't mind letting her in together.

What she wanted today was to seek justice for her daughter, and she couldn't care less if there were too many.

-

"how come."

Guo Shi looked at Wang Shi's neck which was pure and white, not to mention the ferocious finger marks where the prince cut off the neck that the maid said, she didn't even find a strangulation mark, it was so clean that she was at a loss.

Wang's complexion was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was no scar on his body, especially on his neck. If he didn't know it, he would think that Wang was in a deep sleep.

For a moment, Guo's face was full of confusion, and she even began to suspect that she was deceived by that maid.

At this moment, Guo Shi saw Xu Qingluo's fingertips out of the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help reaching out to pat them: "What are you doing!"

Xu Qingluo's fingertips moved away from Wang's neck, and something as thin as a cicada's wing swayed gently on the fingertips.

The movements of Guo's hands stopped, she looked at the ferocious black and purple on her daughter's neck, and the ten finger prints on both sides of the neck that intersected with each other.

She could almost imagine how painful and desperate her daughter was when she died.

"Yao'er!"

With a cry of grief, Guo fell limp to the ground.

Xu Qingluo put the things in his hands next to Wang's corpse, looked at the hideous scar on Wang's neck, and said softly: "The side concubine's throat bone is broken, and the neck bone is broken. This is a fatal injury."

The crown prince was talking with Mr. Wang outside, looking into the room from time to time, where there was the body of Mrs. Wang, even though he kept telling himself that the queen mother must be dealt with cleanly, he still couldn't help worrying.

Especially thinking of Xu Qingluo's weird methods, the prince suddenly stood up, he shouldn't have let Xu Qingluo in.

Xu Qingluo is different from Guo Shi.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Lord Wang asked suspiciously, puzzled by the prince's gaffe.

"It's nothing, I think it's getting late, should I let Mrs. Guo come out, the monks will recite the sacrificial rites, and burn incense and pray for Yao'er? I still hope that Yao'er can reach bliss sooner."

The prince's voice stopped abruptly, because there was a mournful cry from the inner room of the mourning hall, and someone familiar with it heard it clearly, it was clearly Guo Shi's voice.

"My daughter, who killed my daughter, Yaoer, you died so badly, Yaoer"

Mrs. Guo rushed out from the inner room madly, and grabbed the prince's hand: "Your Highness, didn't you say that Yaoer died of illness? Why Yaoer's neck was broken, why Yaoer died so badly, Your Highness , you have to make the decision for Yaoer!"

All the voices in the mourning hall fell silent for a moment, and many people looked at the prince with wrong eyes.

"How did I know how Yao'er's neck was broken? I saw Yao'er get sick and die with my own eyes. Mrs. Guo, you must have read it wrong, or someone damaged Yao'er's body in order to trap me in injustice. People, take Mrs. Guo back to rest."

The crown prince couldn't help being a little flustered, even if he tried to calm down, Xu Qingluo and other sharp-eyed people had already seen clearly his inner guilt.

Mrs. Wang who was going to reprimand Mrs. Guo was that keen person.

His expression was cold, and all the warmth was lost in the eyes looking at the prince.

A few ladies were very curious and bold, and couldn't help but enter the open door. They saw the ferocious neck of Mrs. Wang in the coffin, and several screams sounded, which showed that Mrs. Guo was not groundless.

"Mr. Guo, let go of the prince first. Yao'er's matter seems to be what the prince said. I haven't figured it out yet. Don't draw conclusions now. Let's talk about it later. If the daughter of the Wang family really died, my Wang family is not so good. Bullying!"

Although Lord Wang's words did not point directly at the crown prince, they were almost off the mark. The crown prince's eyes shook, and he opened his mouth to explain.

"My lord, ma'am, I beg you to make the decision for the young lady, the young lady died so badly!"

The servant girl who was dressed as a servant in the imperial womb suddenly rushed out and knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang.

He kowtowed his head with a bang: "Miss died unjustly, I beg Mrs. Master not to let Miss die with regret!"

The palace man raised his head, the prince looked at the woman in astonishment, that familiar face made his heart sink.

He still has some impressions of the new personal palace man next to Wang's.

He obviously ordered people to deal with these members of the Wang family, how could that be?
"Your Highness, this servant knows that you are dissatisfied with the fact that Miss went to the brothel to make trouble with you. You can snub Miss and despise Miss, but how can you kill Miss? Your Royal Highness, you are so cruel!"

The palace man yelled loudly.

"Baby maid, what nonsense are you talking about, shut up!"

The prince kicked the palace man in the heart.

I came here today and didn't intend to go back alive. My parents and brother Guo have already agreed to take care of me. It's much better than being murdered by the prince and killing my family.

The palace servant stumbled to the side, vomiting blood, and said in a shrill voice: "Your Highness, you killed the young lady, and the servant who strangled the young lady with your own hands, the servant has seen it. The servant is not afraid of death, but the servant is worried that the truth will be concealed. The lady will not rest in peace. The servant On that day, I should have died with the sisters around those young ladies, and if I survived for a few days, the servants would earn money!"

"Miss, this servant is here to find you!"

The servant girl of the royal family, dressed as a palace maid, bumped her head against the corner of the table, and with a bang, blood flowed profusely.

"His Royal Highness, the death of the Wang family's daughter was wronged. The old man brought Yao'er back to the mansion today. In order to give justice to the little girl and give the Prince a clean slate, I hope His Royal Highness will not stop her."

Master Wang grabbed Guo Shi's arm and strode out.

The Wang family's body was naturally restrained and taken away by members of the Wang family.

The prince's complexion was cloudy, and all the wives who came to pay respects to the Wang family avoided the prince and walked outside.

Although the Wang family is not the crown prince's official wife, nor the crown prince's official concubine, she is also on the imperial jade certificate.

The prince's killing of the Wang family is similar to killing his wife, and later on, the death of the Wang family was used to show the deep affection. The wives present did not care about the relationship between the man in the husband's father's family and the prince. The prince's eyes are full of contempt and disgust.

"My little girl has something to say to Mr. Wang."

Xu Qingluo stood in front of the Wang family's carriage.

Lord Wang frowned, looking at Xu Qingluo with disgust: "Mr. Zerou County, I'm not in a good mood right now. If something happens, it's better to wait another day."

Mrs. Guo has just said what happened today, if Xu Qingluo hadn't made an unnecessary move to expose Wang's disguise, he and the crown prince would not have come to this point directly.

Mr. Wang is not afraid of the prince. He is extremely angry when the prince directly kills Mrs. Wang, and he really does not plan to cooperate with the prince any longer.

But for him, it's two different things to fall out with the prince and to turn against the prince directly.

Their royal family has always been on the side of the prince. He has not contacted the other princes, nor has he selected one who is more promising than the prince. It is too late for the princes to contact now. They already have their own forces.

The Wang family cannot be kicked out of the center of power in his generation.

Xu Qingluo took a step forward and lowered his voice: "What if the little girl can pull the strings for you and the Ninth Prince?"
