Chapter 290: Damn man

A lot of ice cubes were placed in the mourning hall, and when I walked in from the heat, I felt cold all over and couldn't help shaking.
In the evening, it was dark.
The curtains are floating, a room is white, and the coffin is placed in the middle.
Everything looks so awkward.
The prince’s family members, from wives and concubines to children, knelt in rows to guard their spirits.
As the eldest son, the eldest grandson of the emperor welcomes everyone who comes to worship.
After all, the prince is not the emperor, his funeral, naturally cannot be handled according to the standards of the emperor.
Gu Jiu puts on incense to worship and honours the younger generation.
He said to the emperor's eldest grandson: "Sorry, please!"
The eldest grandson Liu Cheng bowed slightly, "My younger brothers and sisters are interested."
Gu Jiu didn't want to stay any longer, and left after the worship. Come to cry Ling tomorrow.
Leaving the mourning hall, the heat hits.
The body, which had just cooled down, became hot again, and was sweating.
However, everyone is happy.
In the mourning hall, cool is cool, but gloomy, with an atmosphere of uncertainty.
The look in the eyes of the prince's family members made people feel panicked.
That family finally survived.
Ouyang Fu rubbed his arms, a little scared.
She whispered to Gu Jiu, "I really didn't expect that the prince walked so suddenly, it was unprepared."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, I walked too suddenly."
Perhaps someone had predicted that this day would be someone in the mourning hall?
The two came to one of the halls in the northeast corner of the palace, where King Ning and Pei lived.
They washed first, changed into the stinky clothes soaked in sweat, and went to see the prince and concubine in a comfortable suit.
"Free gift!"
Pei cried, "Have you all gone to the mourning hall to worship?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I have already worshipped. I will cry for the spirit tomorrow."
Pei urged: "In the next few days, you should be careful, talk less and do less. If something goes wrong, this princess may not be able to keep you."
Ouyang Fu bluffed, "Mother concubine, is the situation serious?"
Pei's face was stern and asked, "What do you think?"
The prince died, and he died before the decrees of the prince was given. Could this be a trivial matter?
In the past few days, people are in panic up and down the palace, and everyone has a small abacus, and they are playing loudly.
Coupled with King Wuwei's aggressive search for the Assassin's comrades, the entire palace has reached the point of rumbling.
Pei looked at King Ning, "Master, you can say something."
In the past few days, King Ning's mood is very bad and his temper is very irritable.
He was a little impatient, "What to say? What else can I say now."
When he thinks that the emperor misses the prince day by day, he must talk about the prince when he meets people, he is almost mad.
The prince was too treacherous, even to die, so planned and strategic, enough to write a colorful article.
It doesn't matter if he is dead, what matters is that the emperor's mentality has changed accordingly. I seem to regret that I have been too harsh on the prince in the past, and said that he took all the benefits of the prince.
What is even more disturbing is that in just a few days, the emperor has summoned the emperor's grandson several times in succession, and he must say a cup of tea each time.
And also rewarded the prince concubine Sun, praised the prince concubine Sun's diligence and thrift.
What does the emperor mean?
The prince is dead, does he turn to hold up the East Palace?
The most disturbing thing is that the prince is dead, but the organization of the East Palace is still there.
The prince is gone, what is the East Palace?
Why didn’t the prince’s family move out of the East Palace in the first place?
The East Palace without the prince, the prosperity is still there, this is a dangerous signal.
Because there is no prince, there is also the eldest grandson.
For these things, King Ning has not been able to eat well these days and sleep well, and the cool Beiman Mountain Palace cannot extinguish his anger.
His mouth was anxious to get angry, and several flames grew, making him very uncomfortable.
He waved at several people in Gu Jiu, "Get out, do what you should do according to the rules, don't cause trouble."
Gu Jiu pondered, "Excuse me, father and mother, have you seen my son recently?"
Pei frowned: "Are you confused? Zhao'er is locked in Zongzheng Temple, and the princess is in the palace, how do you see him?"
Gu Jiu calmly looked at King Ning.
Pei's is not clear, Ning Wang can't not know.
King Ning said blankly: "When it's time to meet him, you will see him. Go back to the room and rest, don't think about it."
Pei hurriedly asked: "Master, what's going on? Is it that Zhao'er is released? Why don't I know?"
"There are too many things you don't know about, so please don't ask if you shouldn't."
King Ning was beating Pei and Gu Jiu. Remind Gu Jiu not to shout.
Gu Jiu knew that King Ning knew the inside story, but he just refused to say it.
She got up, bowed and bowed, "Daughter-in-law, please follow the instructions of the father."
Back in the room, the maids were worried.
Qiaomei asked, "Madam, son will be fine, right?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It should be fine. It is estimated that His Majesty arranged something for him."
She didn't want to say more, looking out the window, feeling the slightly strange atmosphere of the palace.
King Ning returned to the sleeping hall, still feeling upset. Walking around the house.
Chang En waited on her side, trying to persuade me not knowing where to start.
King Ning asked, "Is there any news from Wu Shizhong?"
Chang En shook his head, "Wu Shizhong has not heard any news for two days."
Ning Wang bared his teeth, "Wu's surname is not going to be chosen halfway."
Chang En dare not answer.
King Ning punched his fist on the desktop, "Is there any news from the old man?"
Chang En nodded, "The eldest son has taken someone to take down the leaders of Xinfeng County, and he is taking him back to the capital."
King Ning kicked over the stool.
"This king has worked hard for many years. Seeing that the dust has settled, he was defeated by an assassin. Although the prince died, he came back with his death. This king knew that he should not underestimate the prince. They all said that the dog who bites does not bark. Sincerely don't deceive me."
Chang En reminded King Ning, "The prince, all officials above the seventh rank of the East Palace must be buried for the prince. How should this matter be done?"
King Ning snorted coldly, "Those people die when they die. Dogs who fail to succeed and fail to fail are a waste of food to live."
What a great opportunity for the disturbances in Xinfeng County.
Coupled with Wu Shizhong's cooperation, this time 100% can bring the prince down. They considered everything and planned everything, except that the prince variable was not planned.
Thinking that the prince was a puppet, he was already unable to resist. But he didn't expect the prince to be determined to beg to die and come back with death.
Deceive people too much.
Damn assassin!
Where did the assassin come out?
If it weren't for the assassin's death, King Ning would really shred the assassin's body into thousands of pieces and spoil him.
King Ning asked: "Are there any clues to track down the assassin?"
"Enlighten the lord, the assassin came to the palace as a errand ten years ago. He has been diligent and dedicated to doing things without finding any abnormalities. Therefore, he was only ordered to serve in Ganquan Palace. I didn't expect this honest man to be an assassin."
"That's it, nothing else?" King Ning was very dissatisfied.
After investigating for so many days, this thing came out, incompetent.
Chang En lowered his head and said: "The old man who recommended the assassin to work in the palace has passed away last year. People familiar with the assassin have also passed away in the past ten years. No one in the palace is familiar with the assassin. thing."
"That's the problem!" King Ning slammed his fist on the table. "They were prepared, so in the past ten years, they used various means to cut off all familiar people around the assassin. In other words, this group of people was as early as ten. A few years ago, the layout plan has been started. Is it possible that there is really a strength to kill the father?"
Speaking of this, King Ning shuddered.
Is there really a bunch of thieves waiting in the palace to murder the emperor?
Who wants to murder the emperor?
Queen Ruijin Choi?
No no no!
If Empress Ruijin Choi really arranged all this, why didn't she do it while she was alive?
Doesn't she know that once the emperor dies, the prince will be able to succeed to the throne without fail?
King Ning screened the suspicious people one by one.
For a moment, he saw that everyone felt suspicious, but he could find reasons to refute.
King Ning was suspicious, even suspicious that someone wanted to kill him.
He immediately ordered, "The number of guards in the old guard will be doubled, and we will do the same in the future."
Chang En froze for a moment, and then hurriedly arranged.
Looking at the doubled guards outside, King Ning was still a little uneasy.
"You have to quickly find the person behind the assassin, otherwise the king will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"Does the prince think too much?"
"The king also hopes that he thinks too much, but this time the assassin's affairs are too strange and there are too many coincidences. Sometimes the king can't help but wonder if the prince arranged all this and deliberately fulfilled him with death. Selfishness."
"If the prince really arranged all this, then he doesn't need to die."
"Yeah! That's why the king felt that his idea was too absurd. The prince really had the courage to arrange for an assassination, so he didn't have to stop the assassin, so he didn't have to die. Afterwards, as long as a party in the Beijing camp stood on his side, he would Can successfully ascend the throne as the prince."
Also based on this idea, King Ning denied the assassin's speculation about the East Palace.
Tossing and turning all night, when the day was about to dawn, thunder roared, and there was a torrential rain in an instant.
After so many days of heat, it finally rained.
Everyone was relieved.
This rain, like a signal, relieved everyone's tense nerves.
In any case, the prince is always dead.
After so many years of conspiracy, although the ending was not satisfactory, it can be regarded as achieving the goal anyway.
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to the mourning hall with an umbrella, crying with everyone.
The family members of the prince were all haggard, and everyone had bloodshot eyes. Obviously, I haven't even slept well these days.
The monks do things to save the prince.
The joss stick burns and the smoke is lingering, making people breathless.
Gu Jiu was calm inside, kneeling on the futon, listening to the chanting.
Taoist priests are also doing things for the prince.
Monks and Taoist priests do not interfere with each other and do their own things.
Gu Jiu inadvertently saw the third son of Donggong kneeling behind the emperor's grandson.
The third son of Donggong was born by the side concubine, and was the favorite of the prince.
The third girl Wei from the Palace of Zhuguo was accused of marrying the third son of the East Palace.
However, now that the prince has passed away, can the marriage between Miss Wei and the third son of Donggong continue?
In the past, when the prince was still alive, the third son of the East Palace relied on petting, and was able to compete with the eldest grandson and the second son.
Now that the prince dies, even the side concubine has to rely on the breath of the prince's concubine Sun. What can the third son do?
I'm afraid this marriage will not be done.
It's just that Zhu Guo's government wants to divorce, which is not so easy.
Especially now, the emperor's attitude has changed, and he is particularly gracious to the East Palace.
Miss Wei San will continue to suffer.
As for Miss Cui, who was accused of getting married to the second son of Donggong, she was in a much better situation than Miss Wei San.
At any rate, the second son was a direct descendant, with the prince concubine Sun and the Sun family as backers, so he was much better than the third son of Donggong.
Gu Jiu thought wildly, and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief from time to time.
The handkerchief was smeared with juice, and when it touched the corner of the eye, the eyes kept tearing out. It seemed that he was crying extremely sad.
During the lunch break, Gu Jiu was too tired to eat.
It is hard for the dead to hold funerals in the summer, and even harder for the living.
She found an unmanned wing, ready to rest for an hour, and continued in the afternoon.
She was dizzy, probably stimulated by the smoke of joss sticks.
She rubbed her eyebrows, the window was half opened, and inadvertently, she saw an acquaintance.
An acquaintance who almost died together, Fang Shaojin.
Fang Shaojian also noticed Gu Jiu.
The two looked at each other, and neither spoke nor made any extra movements.
Fang Shaojian twitched the corner of his mouth suddenly, and smiled at Gu Jiu that was not a smile.
Gu Jiu frowned.
She felt that Shao Jian Fang had no good intentions.
Fang Shaojian walked straight towards the wing.
Gu Jiu settled down and ordered someone to guard at the door.
Shao Jian Fang walked into the wing, "We meet again. Now it's time to call you Madam Zhao."
"Fang Shao supervises rare guests, please sit down."
Fang Shaojin sat opposite Gu Jiu.
"Fang Shaojian's complexion has improved a lot, right?" Gu Jiu pretended to be concerned.
Fang Shaojian nodded, "Ms. Tired Zhao is worried, our family's body has healed."
Gu Jiu poured the tea personally, "I heard that you are now working as an errand in the East Palace and the prince has passed away. Please be sorry."
Fang Shaojian took the teacup, "Madam Zhao did not mean to be sad when he mentioned His Royal Highness."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then you are going to file a complaint?"
Fang Shaojian slowly shook his head, "Many people say that His Highness the Prince died well. The East Palace should not be sad, but should be happy. If the Prince died, how could hundreds of people in the East Palace survive."
"Shao Jian Fang doesn't need to test me, I won't say a word if it's extra." Gu Jiu pointed out directly.
Fang Shaojian shook his head, "Our family is not trying to test Mrs. Zhao."
Gu Jiu looked at Fang Shaojian with a smile, "You and I stand against each other, you say, can I trust you? Or should I ask, do you believe me?"
Fang Shaojian stared at Gu Jiu, "Mrs. Zhao's suspicion is getting worse."
Gu Jiu hehehe twice, "My partner is the younger supervisor, but I am very jealous."
"Why fear?"
"Because you are a man with big strategy and cruel heart. I'm afraid it will be in your hands, and I don't even know how to die."
Fang Shaojian squinted his eyes, his eyes gleaming with unknown meaning.
But in a blink of an eye, he calmed down again with a calm face, "Greetings to the son Zhao for me."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "Definitely bring it."
"Do you have anything else to say?" Fang Shaojian seemed to have something to say.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Different ways are not conspiring."
Fang Shaojian shook his head, "In fact, it's all to survive."
Gu Jiu pointed at him, "You have lived enough."
Shao Jian Fang wanted to laugh, but found that the timing was wrong. The palace is having a funeral, how can he laugh.
He shook his head, "Whether a person lives enough, not by age. Damn people naturally deserve to die when the time comes, the old man is like this, so is the young child. Tell the son Zhao, I am waiting for him."
Gu Jiu frowned.
Fang Shaojian didn't explain, got up and left.
Gu Jiu stood by the window and watched him leave.
Fang Shaojian and Liu Zhao, what is the entanglement between the two?
Madam Fang stood behind Gu Jiu, "Madam, Shao Jian Fang is not to be underestimated. This person has been fighting with Jian Chen for most of his life, and he is still alive now, showing his extraordinary ability."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I know, I have already experienced his greatness."
"Fang Shaojian has no children, no family, and he is not very greedy for money. He doesn't seem to have any weaknesses."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "How can it be possible that a person lives in the world without any desires or ideas. Fang Shaojin is no exception. He also has his own weakness, but it is difficult for ordinary people to find it."
Fang Shaojian’s weakness is his ambition, he is arrogant, but he has nowhere to display it.
If he is really loyal, when the prince dies, he should be dead.
However, he did not die.
After he was sad, he rekindled his fighting spirit.
He wants to assist the emperor's eldest grandson as the emperor's grandson, and then ascend to the throne and become emperor.
Isn't this such a big ambition and desire a weakness?
If Young Supervisor Fang is not allowed to display his talents for a lifetime, he is afraid that he will die in depression.
Gu Jiu smiled.
In this round, Fang Shaojian won half the son.
But in the next round, the result is unknown.
