SEC Chapter 373 Ordinary
Chapter 373 Ordinary
The good news is bad, and the bad news is really bad.
Concubine Ye felt as if something was blocking her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The atmosphere of the Lantern Festival was completely destroyed at this moment.
Civil and military officials have accompanied the emperor to celebrate more than a dozen Lantern Festivals, but none of them have celebrated it like this. The only son of Marquis Xiping is gone, which is undoubtedly a devastating disaster for the Marquis Xiping's family.
The emperor stood up and left, and all the civil and military officials dispersed.
As for Shen Tang, Xie Guimo had originally planned to accompany Shen Tang for another stroll. After all, the next Lantern Festival would be several months later, and Shen Tang would be about to give birth at that time, so she would definitely not be able to go out, even if he accompanied her. But in the evening, things happened one after another, and he was worried about Shen Tang being outside, so he went home.
The others didn't dare to hang around any longer and went back home.
In the carriage, Shen Tang said, "The Marquis of Xiping's son is dead. Will the Marquis of Xiping ask the Marquis of Changping's son to pay for his life?"
Xie Guimo said, "The prince of Changping Marquis did not kill intentionally. In addition, Xiping Marquis is a member of the Qi Wang party, so this matter is hard to say."
The prince of Marquis Xiping was an only son, and so was the prince of Marquis Changping.
Marquis Xiping has supported the King of Qi for many years and has been involved in many things. His hands may not be clean, so Xie Guimo cannot guess in which direction this matter will develop.
But now that his son is gone, no one will inherit the Marquis of Xiping's family fortune, no matter how big it is. Even if the King of Qi takes that position in the future and makes the Marquis of Xiping a king, there will be no successor and everything will be in vain.
However, with such a life on one's hands, even if it was not intentional, one can escape the death penalty, but one cannot avoid the punishment of life imprisonment.
After returning to the Jingyang Palace, Xie Guimo carried Shen Tang down from the carriage and took him directly back to Chenxiangxuan.
Although I slept long enough in the afternoon, I did walk quite a bit in the evening. I took a hot bath and then went to bed together.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Shen Tang woke up, but Ginkgo and Qiutong did not come in. Usually, the two maids would rush in when they heard any noise in the room. What happened today?
Shen Tang leaned on the large welcoming pillow for a long time before Yin Xing and Qiu Tong came in. Seeing Shen Tang getting up, Yin Xing asked, "When did the Crown Prince's Consort get up?"
Shen Tang asked, "What are you doing outside?"
Ginkgo said, "The old lady of Xiping Marquis's Mansion is gone..."
I was just talking about this with the maids in the yard and didn't hear any noise in the house.
Shen Tang was really surprised, but then he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
Marquis Xiping had only one grandson, the Crown Prince, who was the apple of his eye. The old lady of the Marquis Xiping's mansion loved him dearly, but she was also old. When she suddenly learned that her grandson was gone, she could not bear the great blow and died.
Marquis Xiping supported the King of Qi, and his merit in following the emperor was still hanging there, like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey. It could be seen but could not be eaten. No, it was almost invisible now. But his own son had been sacrificed, and his own mother had also lost her life. Marquis Xiping must be regretting it to the core.
If he died at the hands of his opponent, it would still arouse hatred, but if he died at his own hands, Xiping Hou would only hate himself more.
Although the Prince of Xiping was not a good man, his death while trying to stop a fight still aroused sympathy. What's more, his death took away his grandmother who loved him the most, which made people sympathize with him even more.
Shen Tang got out of bed, washed and dressed, and Si'er came in and said, "Crown Princess, Princess Yu has a high fever and is in critical condition. The Queen, Duke Wen, and his wife have been by her bedside all night..."
Empress Xu was a good person, and Princess Yu was seriously injured while saving Prince Yu from a sword. How could Empress Xu not be moved? However, she was seriously injured and had a high fever, so Shen Tang broke out in a cold sweat for Princess Yu.
The emperor ordered the Imperial Hospital to save Princess Yu's life at all costs. Dean Zhao and several other imperial physicians stayed at Prince Yu's mansion.
Princess Yu lost too much blood and fell into a coma. She woke up in the evening, but was only conscious for a quarter of an hour before fainting again.
As a lady from a noble family, even a broken skin would normally cause her pain for a long time. Suddenly suffering such a serious injury, Duke Wen and his wife felt heartbroken.
Fortunately, several imperial physicians worked together to save Princess Yu's life. Her fever subsided during the night, and when she woke up the next morning, she was able to eat. Although not much, just half a bowl of porridge, it would have been really dangerous if she couldn't eat anything.
When Princess Yu was in a coma, Prince Yu stayed by her side without eating or drinking. Princess Yu lost weight, and he also lost weight.
This wife of his was half-forced on him, but the people who forced her on him were not the emperor or the empress, but Chu Yi, Xiao Xun and others.
Ever since he knew that their marriages were all so outrageous, he had been mentally prepared that his own marriage might be weird as well. However, he didn't mind. Although Chu Yi and the others' marriages could make people laugh for a long time, they had a very good relationship after they got married.
He grew up in the harem and knew that the emperor did not like the queen, and he also hoped that he and his princess would be in love with each other.
He and Chu Yi and the others were joking, but they took it seriously. He saved Miss Wen from the frightened horse, arranged a marriage for her, and married her.
He always felt that his life was a little dull, not as lively as that of Chu Yi and the others. At least his princess would never dare to pinch his waist, step on his feet, or send him to sleep in the study.
He thought that perhaps his princess didn't love him as much as Chu Yi and his wives, so there was a sense of distance between them. But he didn't expect that when the assassin's sword stabbed at her, she would pounce on him without hesitation.
She was willing to die for him.
Prince Yu was grateful to Xie Guimo and Chu Yi for saving him several times, and was even more grateful to them for bringing him together and allowing him to marry such a good princess.
After Princess Yu woke up, she felt that Prince Yu looked at her in a strange way.
Prince Yu asked, "Why would you risk your life to save me?"
Princess Yu said, "Your Highness saved my life..."
Prince Yu said, "Although the horse was startled that day, it was dangerous, but at most you were injured and not fatal. But if you blocked the arrow for me, you would die."
Princess Yu was not good at speaking sentimental words, she just shook her head and said nothing else.
Prince Yu said, "From now on, you will treat me just like the wife of the Marquis of Xuanyi and the others treated the Marquis of Xuanyi."
Princess Yu didn't understand, but she agreed.
When Shen Tang and Yun Yi went to visit her, Princess Yu covered her shoulder wound and asked Yun Yi, "How do you usually treat your husband?"
Yun Yi was a little confused. "Isn't that the case?"
"What makes it different from ordinary people."
Yun Yi and Zhao Xi looked at each other.
"Hit him?"
"..."
"Scold him?"
"..."
"Pinch him?"
"..."
"Kick him?"
Yun Yi said, "Apart from these things, my relationship with my husband is no different from my relationship with my father and mother."
Yun Yi thought she was usually very virtuous, but Chu Yi could make her angry and become a shrew with just a few words.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Yun Yi glanced at Shen Tang and whispered, "I learned all this from the Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang Prince. It's just that my husband is a bit annoying, so I used more of his skills according to the situation..."
Princess Yu, "..."
