After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 216: Shocking Changes, the Prince Suicides

Many people at the scene were horrified and hurriedly stood in front of Emperor Jingyuan.

But the next second, the imperial guards who were about to snatch the sword from the deposed prince were stunned, because the deposed prince had quickly slashed the sword in his hand towards his neck.

Suddenly, blood gushed out at the scene.

The scene was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Before he died, the prince took one last look at Emperor Jingyuan and mumbled something, but no one could hear it clearly.

The prince's suicide caused an uproar at the scene.

Emperor Jingyuan was shocked and stood there in a daze. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. He wanted to say something, but it was as if his throat was strangled and he couldn't utter a word.

Qi Heng was really surprised. The prince's suicide was beyond his expectations, but he also felt that it seemed reasonable for the prince's personality to choose such an ending. He felt extremely sad in his heart. The prince who was once high and mighty, second only to the emperor, actually ended up like this. No one had expected this.

Coming back to his senses, Qi Heng couldn't help but look at his father worriedly.

The death of the crown prince must be the most painful for the emperor's father.

"puff!"

In the dead silence at the scene, the sound of Emperor Jingyuan vomiting blood was particularly clear.

Qi Heng was shocked, "Father!"

"His Majesty!!"

The next second, when Emperor Jingyuan fainted, Qi Heng quickly caught his body.

"Jiang Liu, call the imperial physician! Sir Xiao, I'm sorry to bother you with the follow-up matters."

After he finished speaking, he ran towards the bedroom holding Emperor Jingyuan. His feet almost left an afterimage, and everyone hurried to follow him.

There was worry in Xiao Quan's eyes, but at this moment he had more important things to do.

……

Qi You soon found out what happened in the palace because Zhu Ying came back and told him.

Knowing that the royal grandfather was saved, but because of the death of the crown prince, he not only vomited blood but also fell into a coma, Qi You looked worried.

The Crown Prince is different to the Emperor's grandfather. He is his eldest son and the Crown Prince whom he has cultivated with all his heart. He is afraid that the Emperor's grandfather will be depressed. When he thinks of the death of his grandfather in his previous life, his brows furrowed.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Zhuying now admires this new young master very much. Although he is very young, his thoughts are more difficult to guess than His Majesty.

Qi You thought that his mother next door might still be worried, so after thinking about it, he decided to go over and talk to her.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in!"

With the door creaking, Qi You's small figure came in.

Seeing that it was his good son, Qiao Rongjin was a little surprised and asked, "Son, why haven't you slept yet?"

Qi You came over and held her hand, "Mom, I came to tell you that Master Zhuying just found out that everything is fine now. No one will come. Don't worry, just go to sleep."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin looked at her son in surprise, "When did you ask Zhuying to find out the news? How come mother didn't know?"

"Sister Zhuyun told me when those secret guards came. I was afraid something might happen, so I asked Sister Zhuyun to tell Master Zhuying and ask him to go and take a look." Qi You said without changing his expression.

Hearing his son's words, Qiao Rongjin smiled and pinched his cheeks, "Well, well done, my son is really smart! You must be tired tonight, go and rest quickly."

"Okay, then mother, you should also take a rest."

"Okay, go ahead." Qiao Rongjin still smiled.

Her son was too smart and precocious for her to be of any use. However, as long as she had her son, she seemed to not have to worry about anything.

Qiao Rongjin couldn't help but sigh that he was really destined to enjoy a good life!

A night of fear left Qiao Rongjin physically and mentally exhausted. Now that he knew the danger was over, he felt an intense sense of sleepiness and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Qi Heng, who was in the palace, also knew what happened in the mansion at this moment, and his eyes were suddenly filled with hostility.

The prince actually dared to touch his people. A cold look flashed in Qi Heng's eyes.

"Are you sure everything is alright?"

"Uh, Concubine Ping's left arm... is gone." After saying this, the secret guard lowered his head, quietly waiting for his master's wrath.

Who would have thought that Qi Heng was not angry about this at all. Instead, he asked in a cold voice, "What about Yunshen Pavilion? Are there any casualties or injuries?"

As for Chen’s missing arm, that’s fine, as long as the person is not dead.

Seeing that the master was not angry, the secret guard breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Master, there are no casualties in Yunshen Pavilion."

After saying this, he felt that he should tell his master about the experts around Concubine Qiao. After all, as a secret guard, he had to let his master know this information so as not to affect his master's judgment.

"host……"

"Your Majesty has woken up!"

The secret guard was about to speak but was interrupted by the voice.

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng said directly, "Let's talk about what happened last night when I get back. Go away." After that, he strode towards Emperor Jingyuan's bedroom.

Seeing this, the secret guard also left.

Emperor Jingyuan's bedroom.

There were quite a few people gathered around.

Several highly respected ministers in the court, royal family members, concubines in the harem, as well as princes, princes and princesses were all present.

When Qi Heng rushed over, he saw his father being helped by Li Jin to sit up. His face was sallow, but his eyes were still deep and sharp. Even though he was sick, he was still dignified, but no one could ignore the pain hidden in his eyes.

There were many people at the scene, but no one dared to speak at this time. All of them stood respectfully and properly with their heads lowered.

After a long time, just when everyone felt suffocated, Emperor Jingyuan spoke in a hoarse voice.

"...Where is the body of the deposed crown prince?"

Hearing this, everyone in the bedroom looked at Prince Rui, because Minister Xiao basically reported the matter to Prince Rui. Since there were only a few people who could take charge at the scene at that time, and Prince Rui was the most suitable among them, so Minister Xiao told Prince Rui everything.

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng stepped forward, bowed and said respectfully, "Reporting to the Emperor... my elder brother's body has been temporarily placed in the Huangji Palace."

Hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan suddenly started coughing rapidly, "Cough, cough, cough!"

Upon seeing this, Li Jin hurried forward to pat Emperor Jingyuan on the back. Concubine Xian and others wanted to step forward but after seeing Li Jin's action, they stopped and just looked at Emperor Jingyuan worriedly.

Emperor Jingyuan panted loudly, and after recovering for a while, he shouted angrily, "That rebellious son is capable of patricide and rebellion. What is the point of keeping him in the Huangji Palace? He should be dragged out and fed to the dogs! Ahem!"

After these words were spoken, no one at the scene dared to respond, and everyone tried to minimize their presence.

Everyone knows that His Majesty is speaking in anger. Although according to what the deposed crown prince did, it would be an easy task for him to be dragged out and fed to the dogs, but who made His Majesty care about the deposed crown prince? So even if the deposed crown prince did such a heinous thing, no one at the scene dared to provoke Emperor Jingyuan at this time.

Your Majesty must be feeling uncomfortable at this moment. Anyone who stands up and calls for the dethronement of the Crown Prince might be directly angered by Emperor Jingyuan who is in deep grief.

Prince Rui and other princes and princes at the scene all had mixed feelings.

What the prince did was extremely treasonous and he deserved death, but he committed suicide. How could his father accept this sudden change?
