Chapter 200 Long Blessed Lord (30)
Palace banquet.
Yan Gui and Chuzheng entered the palace. Since they were in Qishan, Chuzheng could hear some news about Cheng Xiao.
But this was the first time Chu Zheng met Cheng Xiao since Qishan.
Cheng Xiao looks much plumper than before, not ugly at all, and has a different style.
She is still the emperor's favorite concubine.
The emperor became more and more obsessed with the art of immortality. The ministers sighed and tried their best to persuade him, but it was of no use. The emperor still insisted on pursuing immortality.
He is an emperor who wants to live forever!
Cheng Xiao met Chu Zheng's gaze and quickly looked away without any expression.
Smile calmly, dignified, gracefully and regally.
Chuzheng propped her chin up and looked at the lively palace banquet indifferently.
"I'm going out for a while." Yan Gui whispered into her ear.
"Um?"
Yan Gui whispered that she was worried.
"I'll accompany you."
"No need." The tips of Yan Gui's ears turned slightly red.
Chuzheng nodded after a long while, and Yangui exited the hall. Not long after he left, Chuzheng got up and followed him out.
Still worried.
This palace is full of people who eat people without spitting out their bones!
What should you do if you are a good person and are bullied?
The good guy card is so weak!
Not long after Chuzheng walked out of the main hall, she spotted a dark shadow out of the corner of her eye.
The black shadow flashed past, and there seemed to be a person carrying it. Chuzheng touched his chin and thought about it for a while, then followed the direction of the black shadow.
There are rockeries everywhere in the palace, and Chu Zheng walked along the path of the rockeries.
I didn't see anyone, but I saw a person on the snow.
Chuzheng walked in and took a look.
This is... King Rong?
Ever since the incident in Qishan, King Rong had been mentally ill. He had been recuperating and had not attended the palace banquet. How could he be here?
Chuzheng probed his breathing...
Oops!
died!
It couldn't have been done by a good guy, right?
Chuzheng turned King Rong over. He had been stabbed in the abdomen and was bleeding. The murder weapon was still stuck in it.
Chuzheng's eyes fell on Prince Rong's palm.
He was holding something in his hand.
Chuzheng pulled something out, and it was a thumb ring. This thing...
Chuzheng's cold eyes narrowed slightly, she put away her finger, cleaned up the blood on the snow, and left with Prince Rong.
-
When Chu Zheng returned, Yan Gui stood outside the hall, looking around.
"Where have you been?" Yan Gui stepped forward against the cold wind.
Chu Zheng straightened his cloak. The snow-white cloak made Yan Gui even whiter, like a god on a snow-capped mountain.
Chuzheng took his hand and put the ring on him.
"Huh?" Yan Gui was a little surprised: "When did you bring it out?"
He didn't take it with him when he left today.
"Put away your own things." Chuzheng said calmly, "Destroy the things you don't need."
A trace of doubt flashed in Yan Gui's eyes.
"What happened?"
"It's okay." Chuzheng hugged him into the palace.
He squeezed Chu Zheng's hand slightly and said in a gentle voice, "I will take good care of you."
Chu Zheng raised her eyes and saw heavy snowfall outside. Snowflakes fell on the young man's hair and shoulders. The slightly curved corners of his mouth were the brightest scenery on the snowy night.
"I'm not a thing." Why does it feel like scolding myself? !
The young man laughed: "Of course, you are my princess and my wife."
Is the most important person to me.
Chuzheng was silent for a moment: "Go in, it's cold outside."
Yan Gui pursed his lower lip and entered the inner hall. After hearing the sound of silk and bamboo, he pulled out his hand and hugged Chu Zheng into his arms.
Chuzheng put down her hand and went in side by side with him.
"Prince Jin and Princess Jin have a really good relationship."
"If I were a man, I would also want to marry Princess Jin." How can it not be romantic to plant different flowers for Prince Jin in different seasons?
"Isn't Prince Jin being supported by Princess Jin?"
Yan Gui helped Chu Zheng sit down and glanced at the people who were discussing. Those people noticed Yan Gui's gaze and the discussion became quieter.
The emperor watched with some wan interest, his eyes swept towards Yan Gui, he suddenly raised his hand to let the father-in-law beside him pass, and after giving a few instructions, the father-in-law left the hall.
After a while, the father-in-law came back with an ugly face and cold sweat on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong is not in the palace."
"Not here?" The emperor's face darkened: "Where have you gone?"
"..." The father-in-law said with cold sweat on his face: "Your Majesty, there are signs of fighting in Prince Rong's chamber... I am worried that something happened to Prince Rong."
"Go find it quickly!"
"yes."
The emperor and his father-in-law didn't speak loudly, and even Cheng Xiao only heard a few words.
She was a little confused: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"It's okay." The emperor's face was gloomy, and he didn't even look down upon her.
Cheng Xiao shut his mouth knowingly, and his father-in-law came over to whisper to the emperor from time to time. The emperor's face became increasingly ugly.
Everyone in the entire hall felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
There was no sound except the sound of silk and bamboo.
Chu Zheng sat in her seat with an indifferent expression, and Cheng Xiao's eyes fell on her, with a bit of weirdness and secret excitement.
But it is fleeting and cannot be noticed.
"Your Majesty, something happened!!" The father-in-law came in shouting this time. He seemed to be frightened and fell to his knees on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Rong... King Rong is dead."
The emperor stood up suddenly, his face suddenly darkened.
The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall suddenly stopped, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's movements seemed to be frozen.
"What did you say?"
"Prince Rong...Prince Rong is dead." The father-in-law was trembling with fear.
The emperor's body swayed and he didn't recover for a long time.
Everyone in the hall did not dare to breathe.
How could King Rong die?
King Rong was found dead in a small bamboo forest. Because the snow was too cold, the blood flowing from King Rong's body had solidified into icicles.
The emperor personally led the people there, and because he did not order the ministers to leave, everyone followed in a mighty manner.
"Your Majesty, I found this in the hands of King Rong."
The investigating guard presented the items.
When Cheng Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but before the arc could be settled, he froze at the corners of his mouth.
"Concubine Chen!" The emperor shouted sternly and turned to look at Cheng Xiao.
"Your Majesty..." Cheng Xiao seemed to be frightened, her face turned pale.
"What is this?" The emperor showed the thing in his hand.
It was a piece of warm jade, which the emperor personally awarded to her.
Warm jade is rare to see, let alone the emperor who liked this warm jade very much before giving it to him and often played with it.
What should have belonged to Cheng Xiao was now grabbed by King Rong.
What does it mean?
Cheng Xiao was frightened and didn't know why this was happening.
She knelt down on the ground with a thud: "I... I don't know why I'm here. Your Majesty, I didn't do anything."
The emperor's sinister eyes fell on her: "You didn't do anything, why does Prince Rong have your things in his hands?"
Cheng Xiao quickly glanced at Chu Zheng.
The latter stood in front of the crowd, leaning against Yan Gui, looking at her coldly.
Nothing strange...
Cheng Xiao took a deep breath and defended softly: "Your Majesty, I don't know. When I left the palace today, I didn't wear it. There must be a thief who framed me. I have no enmity with King Rong, so why did I want to harm Rong?" King? Your Majesty, please investigate clearly and clear my concubine's name!"
