The palace man was startled by the Queen Mother's fierce shout and fell to the ground shivering.
"Prince, His Royal Highness has passed away."
"how come…"
The Empress Dowager staggered and almost fell down. Nanny Ran quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
Concubine Zhaogui on the side also stood up and said sternly: "What's going on? The prince was fine just now? I asked the imperial doctor that his condition was improving, so why did he suddenly disappear?"
The palace man said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was already seriously injured on his head when he was carried back. The imperial doctors took turns to diagnose and treat the injury and stabilized the condition. But who knew that just now, the Crown Prince suddenly vomited blood."
"After checking, the imperial doctor said that in addition to the head injury, the prince's internal organs were also severely injured. They tried their best to save him, but they still couldn't save him..."
The prince vomited blood and died.
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed, and even Tang Ning felt cold all over.
If Qian Qiyue had only injured the prince, and the prince had done something wrong before her, and she was behind to protect herself and save others, Emperor An and the Queen Mother would not dare to punish her too severely, otherwise it would be difficult to silence the world.
But now that the prince is dead, everything has become out of control.
Qian Qiyue beat the current prince to death. No matter what the reason was, it was a felony, and even the Qian family might not be able to escape.
Qian Qiyue was in a daze for a moment when she heard that the prince was dead, and murmured: "Impossible, I didn't kill the prince, nor did I want his life..." She clearly withdrew her hand.
"But the prince is indeed dead."
Princess Huan's eyes were full of gloating that Zangdu couldn't hide.
King Huan had long hated the Crown Prince and Emperor An, and felt that the Crown Prince was incompetent and unworthy of being the crown prince. He became ambitious and wanted that position, and the Crown Prince was the biggest obstacle. However, he did not expect that the Crown Prince would kill himself before they could take action. He also died at the hands of Qian's daughter, and his cowardice seemed to be a joke.
Princess Huan just wished she could hang up a bunch of firecrackers to celebrate, and she was even more merciless.
"The imperial doctor also said that the prince died of serious injuries. Qian Qiyue, what crime do you deserve for killing the prince of the dynasty?!"
Qian Qiyue's face turned pale.
Fu Jinrou on the side also collapsed on the ground with shock in her eyes.
The prince is dead?
How could he be dead!
What would she do if the prince died? !
She originally planned to follow Qian Qiyue's words and promise to settle the previous matter. As a "victim", the royal family had to compensate her even if her reputation was ruined. The Fu family would definitely seek justice for her in order to save face. , even if the prince wakes up and still doesn't want to, he will have no choice but to marry her in order to protect himself.
But now the prince is dead...
Fu Jinrou's face turned pale. Let alone letting the prince marry her now, it was uncertain whether the royal family would spare them and those who had killed the prince.
Even if she was lucky enough to escape, given that she was no longer a virgin, how could she stay in the capital in the future, and how could people still look at her seriously?
She's... completely finished.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, what's wrong with you..." Nanny Ran suddenly spoke urgently.
Everyone noticed that the Queen Mother's face was pale and ugly. She seemed to be stimulated by the death of the prince. She no longer looked calm as before. She only said in a trembling voice: "The prince is dead, he is actually dead..."
She suddenly looked at Qian Qiyue, pointed at her and said angrily:
"Come here, get this rebellious girl who plotted to kill the prince to the Ai family!"
"The Queen Mother..."
"Shut up!"
Seeing that Tang Ning wanted to stop her, the Queen Mother said angrily: "If the grandson of the Ai family does something wrong, the Ai family and the emperor will punish him. How can we allow this rebellious woman to put people to death for committing crimes below the level of a superior? She still dares to quibble now, she Since she killed the prince, how could the Ai family spare her?"
"Come here, drag her down and beat her to the Ai family. Anyone who dares to stop her will be dealt with!"
Liu Tongen stepped forward and grabbed Qian Qiyue and walked out. Upon seeing this, Tangning quickly stood in front of Liu Tongen.
Seeing Liu Tongen reaching out to push him away, Tang Ning clasped the object on his wrist and said coldly: "You dare to touch me!"
Liu Tongen's eyes turned cold.
Yu Yanfeng quickly turned sideways and pretended to move forward, just in time to block Liu Tongen who was about to take action.
Tang Ning took the opportunity to pull Qian Qiyue hard and protect her behind her.
"Song Tangning, you are so presumptuous!!" The Queen Mother was furious: "Do you want to rebel?"
Tang Ning raised his eyes and faced the Queen Mother: "I don't dare, I just don't want the Queen Mother to get angry and give the wrong decree. Although the death of the prince is sad, the cause of the matter has not yet been found out. Sister Qian is a weak woman. How could my mother withstand the severe torture in the palace? Please think twice, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother said in a cold voice: "The imperial doctor said that the prince was seriously injured and died after being injured by her. How dare you defend her?"
Tang Ning stared calmly: "If the injury was just too serious, there would have been a delay when the imperial doctor came. The prince could have been treated and improved by then, so how could he suddenly take a sudden turn and die of vomiting blood?"
She tried her best to calm down, her eyebrows were cold:
"I have been thinking before that, although the prince is unruly, he is not that stupid. He knows his identity well, and even if he covets Sister Fu's beauty, he definitely does not dare to act recklessly in Shoukang Palace."
"He summoned Sister Fu to have a private meeting with her. I believe it, but if you say that he was forced on her, it is absolutely impossible to insult Sister Qian even after hurting Madam Wenxinhou. The Queen Mother Didn’t the empress realize that something was wrong?”
"Tang Ning..."
Qian Qiyue's face changed slightly.
Tang Ning noticed that Zhou Yuchang's back suddenly stiffened after she spoke, and Qian Qiyue also looked anxious. The idea that had been vaguely emerging in her heart became clearer and clearer.
Qian Qiyue lied.
Even Fu Jinrou.
After Tang Ning glanced at Zhou Yuchang, she interrupted Qian Qiyue's words and said to the Queen Mother:
"Sister Fu said before that after she was called over by the prince's order, the prince went crazy and dragged her into Baoxia to do evil things. Later, sister Qian also mentioned that she, Mrs. Wenxinhou and the others After I rushed there, I felt unwell before I was hurt, so I'm afraid someone had tampered with me in the building."
Concubine Zhaogui frowned and said, "Princess Xiangning, do you mean that the prince has been drugged?"
Tang Ning said: "I don't know, I just think that no matter how stupid the prince is, he will never choose to behave with others in Shoukang Palace, which is difficult for him to control and can be broken down at any time."
"If the prince is just greedy for beauty, he can leave someone to guard him outside. Why should he leave someone to watch in the building? He doesn't know how to stop when he is clearly being smashed, but he becomes more and more crazy?"
"In my opinion, the prince is insane and may have been harmed by others long ago. The person who hurt Madam Wenxinhou and Sister Qian in the dark is the one who really wants to plot against the prince."
Tang Ning looked at the Queen Mother and said solemnly:
"What happened today is clearly that someone wanted to use the Shoukang Palace banquet to set up a trap to kill the prince, and also wanted to implicate the Ministry of Revenue and Wenxinhou's Mansion. The Queen Mother wanted to blame Sister Qian before she could find out the whole story. She was not afraid of offending the courtiers. Heart?"
