Chapter 405 Life and Death

Concubine Shu had a sad look on her face, "It doesn't matter if he is a fool. After all, he is acting like this because he is ill. The emperor can't say anything. He just kept us mother and son in Cui'an Palace these years and the seventh prince was not allowed to leave."

Speaking of her son, Concubine Shu's eyes lit up a little, "Three Madams don't know that my seventh prince is very good. He is stupid, innocent, and often makes surprising remarks. He is very childlike. I will take care of him." He was raised like a child, always thinking that it would be okay to protect him like this for the rest of his life.

It’s a pity that fate plays tricks on people. You have also seen what I am like now. I am not afraid of death, but what about my children? He has no scheming and no support. If this palace is gone, how will he survive?

So I tried my best to plan for him. You are the daughter-in-law of your cousin, the daughter of the Cui family. The Cui family has a good reputation. I always have to worry about it, so I have also investigated everything about you in Tongchang Mansion. . "

Mrs. Mingsan looked confused and didn’t understand Concubine Shu’s intention.

Concubine Shu took a deep breath and said, "I have fought hard for the seventh prince's future tonight. I hope you don't blame me!"

“Mother! What have you done?” Mrs. Mingsan suddenly became panicked.

Concubine Shu shed tears, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I only have one son in my life, he is my life! Third Madam, you taught your daughter well, really well. I believe she will treat me well." Lao Qi, apart from a husband who has no shelter from wind and rain, I promise her all the glory and wealth."

“Shu Fei!”

“Empress!”

Mrs. Mingsan and Nanny shouted together.

Concubine Shu's hands dropped weakly, her head tilted, and she became silent.

Mrs. Mingsan collapsed on the ground in a daze, unable to even cry, but her tears could not stop flowing out.

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music from the Chengqing Hall in the distance could still be heard vaguely.

Perhaps sensing that Concubine Shu died of illness, the sound of dancing and music suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of crying all around.

In the side hall behind Chengqing Hall.

Cheng Hong hugged the veiled Princess Wuya tightly and scolded the man who was half a foot away from them, "You dare to molest a girl in the palace. You are a bastard! Girl, don't be afraid. I, Cheng Hong, will protect you." you!"

Cheng Jiaojiao and all the ladies all changed their faces and looked at the strange man warily.

Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Cheng Hong with eyes that seemed puzzled and angry. How could this man be the Third Young Master of Guang Enhou?

Cheng Hong doesn't care. Anyway, his purpose is to marry the princess, and other things will come later.

Although Cheng Jiaojiao was angry, she was still more happy than angry when she saw Princess Wuya being hugged tightly by Cheng Hong.

The lights in the side hall were dim, and Princess Wuya was wearing a veil and was locked in Cheng Hong's arms. Others were not sure of her identity. The reason why she remained silent was because she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get through. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiaojiao stepped forward and pointed at her. She shouted in surprise: "Princess Wuya!"

Her veil and jewelry are really easy to recognize, just take a closer look.

Princess Wuya's face darkened, she suppressed her anger and clenched her fists, "The girl has recognized the wrong person."

Cheng Hong then pretended to let go of the woman in his arms and knelt down, "Damn it, boy. I didn't know you were Princess Wuya. I'm so offended. Please forgive me." "I said I'm not Princess Wuya, don't you understand? "Princess Wuya's eyes were filled with anger.

Just then, the emperor and the empress arrived with their ministers and wives, blocking Princess Wuya's escape route.

"What's going on?" The emperor looked at the people in the side hall angrily.

Cheng Hong took the initiative and pointed at another man in the room and said: "It's him. I just drank too much and walked out of Chengqing Hall to enjoy the breeze. I happened to see this man sneaking towards the back hall. There was a girl following him. I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried over and happened to see this person having evil intentions towards this girl. I rushed in to stop the incident and asked the emperor to investigate. "

“Princess Wuya, is he telling the truth?” the emperor asked unhurriedly.

Princess Wuya's eyes were fixed on Cheng Hong. The actual situation was that she mistook this man for Prince Ding and followed him into the side hall. Before she could do anything, Cheng Hong rushed out and hugged her tightly, shouting She shouted and attracted a bunch of women over. It was clearly Cheng Hong who was plotting against her.

But at the same time, Cheng Hong also covered up the truth about her following her. If she refuted it at this time, if Cheng Hong became angry and told the truth, adding fuel and jealousy to her, her reputation would be completely ruined, although the tribes outside the Guan are not like this. You are very particular, but if you do as the Romans do, these people in front of you will not care less.

Thinking of this, Princess Wuya reluctantly said, "Indeed."

Lan Suiwendong, one of the guards of the Wuya tribe, knelt down before the emperor on the spot and complained angrily, "Your Majesty, this man dares to have evil intentions towards our princess. Please chop off his head!"

The man was trembling with fear, with his head hanging down and holding a sepak takraw ball in his hand. When he heard this, he was so frightened that he cried loudly, feeling very helpless.

There's something wrong with his appearance.

The queen waved to him distressedly, "Old Qi, be good, come to the queen mother's side!"

The seventh prince looked at the people in front of him with fear. When he saw that only the queen looked at him lovingly and protected him, he carefully hugged the sepak takraw ball and shrank behind the queen.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

The queen looked at Cheng Hong with dissatisfaction, "You said that Lao Qi followed Princess Wuya with evil intentions. But my Lao Qi is only seven years old and doesn't understand the affairs of men and women. How can he have evil intentions with Princess Wuya?"

Cheng Hong was so horrified that he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Cheng Jiaojiao for help.

Cheng Jiaojiao's face was paler than his own, and she secretly glanced at King Ding, the people from the Guang'en Marquis, and the Seventh Prince hiding behind the Queen in the crowd. They were dressed exactly the same tonight, as if they were one person. Why is this happening? Coincidence still.

Cheng Jiaojiao's mind was in a mess.

Everyone in the Cui family was scared to death. Cui Yudie, who was usually arrogant, was as silent as a quail.

Princess Longyue stood up, gave her a blessing, and said: "Longyue pays homage to the Emperor, the Queen. Just when Young Master Cheng shouted, Longyue was also under the eaves of the corridor with several other ladies. She was the first to follow Miss Cheng. of.

Longyue didn't see the seventh prince doing anything when he entered the door. He only saw Mr. Cheng and Princess Wuya hugging each other tightly. The seventh prince just held a takraw ball. "

The queen's face brightened slightly, she turned around and asked gently: "Old Qi, are you here just for this ball?"

The seventh prince had tears in his eyes and nodded heavily, his voice trembling as he spoke, "My mother made it for me with her own hands. I was playing with Sister Xiaohua, and Sister Xiaohua accidentally let the ball roll out. She went out to pick it up, but I couldn't find her." Come on, Queen Mother, have you seen Sister Xiaohua?”

The queen comforted her softly: "Don't worry, as long as you are in the palace, you won't be afraid of losing it. My mother will help you find it later."
