Chapter 190 Prince, You Disappoint Me So Much
Chapter 190 Prince, You Disappoint Me So Much
These days, the whole Shengjing city is in turmoil.
It has been three days since Qiao Rongjin returned home from Xishan. During these three days, he stayed in Yunshen Pavilion and did not go out.
Prince Rui has been going out early and coming back late these days, and has never set foot in the backyard.
The entire backyard of the palace was also unusually quiet.
These days, Qiao Rongjin's pleasure was to listen to gossip about Shengjing City from Qinyun, such as how Prince Huai beat Princess Huai, who ran back to her parents' home, how Prince Huai's personality became unpredictable, and he would beat, scold, and sell out his servants at will, how Prince Chen tried to commit suicide but failed, and was punished by Emperor Jingyuan to be confined to his house and be watched over by a special person, and how Concubine Shu almost cried herself blind. She listened to all these news with great gusto.
You'er is still going to school these days, and will go to the palace to study after the New Year.
The days passed peacefully for another two days.
Snow began to fall from the sky again, fluttering like feathers.
On that day, the news that Emperor Jingyuan angrily scolded the Crown Prince and was so angry that he vomited blood spread like a plague, and the entire Shengjing City fell into an uproar.
All the ministers of the prince's faction felt insecure.
The prince was even more panicked and was waiting tremblingly for Emperor Jingyuan to wake up. The queen was even more frightened.
All the imperial doctors in the palace rushed to Chengqian Palace.
The empress, concubines, and princes and grandchildren all went to the palace to visit Emperor Jingyuan, and all the children in Prince Rui's mansion were required to go.
Qiao Rongjin didn't need to go. She tidied her son's clothes and hat. It was still snowing outside, so he couldn't catch a cold.
"Son, go into the palace and follow the princess and the prince. Don't go alone. The palace is not peaceful right now. By the way, take Qinglian with you." Qinglian is good at kung fu, and she feels at ease with her son by her side.
"No need, mother. This time, I will take Master Zhuying with me."
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin finally remembered that there was a person named Zhu Ying, so he nodded, "Okay, be careful about everything and don't let mother worry."
"Yeah, don't worry, mom."
"Yeah." After saying that, Qiao Rongjin took people directly to the front yard. As soon as they arrived, they saw that the princess and her children had already arrived, as well as Yan and others.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go." said the princess.
Qi You brought Xiao Yuanzi with him, and Zhu Ying and the servants who went with them rode in a carriage.
The children followed the princess into the carriage and left under the reluctant gaze of everyone.
Qiao Rongjin didn't turn back to Yunshen Pavilion until she could no longer see the carriage. She was worried the whole time. The palace was full of uncertainty and anything could happen. She couldn't feel at ease about her son entering the palace, but Emperor Jingyuan was ill and as his grandson's son, she had to go and visit him. She just hoped that nothing would happen.
However, thinking that Prince Rui was in the palace, Qiao Rongjin's worried mood eased a little.
Now it's not just Rui Wangfu that's feeling anxious, all the other Wangfus are feeling extremely restless.
Qi You followed everyone to Chengqian Palace. Chengqian Palace was very large and there were many people inside at the moment, but most of them were waiting in the side halls outside.
When Prince Rui saw the princess coming with her entourage, he came over and took them in to pay their respects to Emperor Jingyuan.
At this moment, Emperor Jingyuan had been awake for a while, but fell asleep again.
Qi You followed everyone in and when he saw his royal grandfather again, his pupils shrank.
The Emperor Jingyuan in front of him looked like he was ten years older. He was lying on the dragon couch with his eyes closed. His face was sallow and he didn't have a trace of energy.
Then he glanced at the prince who was kneeling on the ground inside the room, Qi You lowered his eyes, his expression slightly cold.
Just at this moment, Emperor Jingyuan opened his eyes and tilted his head to look.
Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the queen saw that the man had woken up, she quickly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward with a concerned look on her face, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have finally woken up. I…"
"Get out of here! Cough cough cough!"
Emperor Jingyuan shouted angrily on the spot and couldn't help choking and coughing.
"Your Majesty!" everyone exclaimed.
The imperial physician hurried forward to make Emperor Jingyuan feel more comfortable, but when he saw that his majesty was already well, he signaled him not to go forward.
The queen's face suddenly turned ugly. Although His Majesty didn't like her, he always respected her. Now he directly scolded her in front of so many people. The queen clenched her hands tightly together, and a flash of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but she still had to force a smile. After all, His Majesty's behavior was the prince's fault, but she was the prince's biological mother, and she had to make His Majesty change his attitude. She had always been uneasy, and today she was even more uneasy. Prince, what did the prince do to make His Majesty so angry? Could it be that the group in Xishan was really... The queen didn't dare to think about it any further, and her face was extremely pale.
Everyone present was watching, no one dared to say a word. They all understood that His Majesty was mad at the Queen because of the Crown Prince.
Emperor Jingyuan signaled to Li Jin, who understood and immediately stepped forward to help the man sit up, then stood aside waiting for instructions.
Emperor Jingyuan's eyes were like sharp swords, fixed on the prince who was kneeling and trembling on the ground, his expression was extremely deep.
No one present dared to breathe, because Emperor Jingyuan's gaze was too terrifying.
The princess secretly cursed her bad luck, how could they have encountered such a thing? She quickly glanced at the children behind her, and was relieved to see that they were all well-behaved and quiet.
The prince below of course felt the gaze of Emperor Jingyuan above him. Thinking of the angry words his father had cursed him with before he fainted, he became extremely panicked and sweat dripped down his face.
The emperor did not say anything else at that time. He was just furious when he saw the information presented. He cursed me a few times and fainted. It seems that my winter hunting and siege in Xishan has been completely exposed, otherwise the emperor would not be so angry. Now that the emperor has woken up, what kind of punishment will I get?
The prince was disheartened.
How could it be discovered when it was so covert?! He didn't understand.
It can be foreseen that once the truth is revealed by his father, his position as the crown prince will certainly be in jeopardy. Thinking of this, a strong murderous intent flashed in the crown prince's eyes.
Before coming here, he already had the idea of treason. If his father died, he would be able to smoothly succeed to the throne and become the next emperor. Then, even if the things he had done before were exposed, so what? At that time, he would already be the emperor above everyone else, the supreme ruler of the world. Who would dare to judge him?
But there were always people guarding his father, and his brothers were inseparable from him and were extremely cautious. He and his men had no way to start. Thinking of this, the prince almost vomited blood.
At this moment, I can only wait for trial like a criminal.
"Prince, you disappoint me so much. I don't want to see you. Please go out." Emperor Jingyuan spoke unusually calmly, his face showing endless fatigue and his eyes were a little red.
After making up his mind, Emperor Jingyuan was not as indifferent as he had imagined. Thinking about the little things that happened between him and the prince and his son, he couldn't help feeling sad.
When these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was shocked.
What does your majesty mean by this?!
Qi Heng lowered his head with a complicated expression.
It seems that my father has really made up his mind.
