Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 251

   Chapter 251 Dark Clouds

   "What do you think, Ah Shuo?"

  Qi Shuo glanced at the setting sun on the horizon, and his tone was light: "If Yang Zhe cooperated with the real murderer, what is his motive?"

   A champion with a promising future who is regarded as a confidant by the prince, what is the benefit to him by poisoning the prince?

  Lin Hao shook his head: "It's just confusing."

   As he spoke, the General's Mansion and the Prince Jing's Mansion were already in sight.

  Qi Shuo patted her on the shoulder lightly: "Go home to eat something and have a good rest. We have already done what we should do on this matter, so we shouldn't get involved too deeply."

   "Yes." Lin Hao separated from Qi Shuo, walked into the general's mansion, and went straight to the old lady after thinking about it.

   Lin was chatting with the old lady about melon seeds.

   "I didn't expect Ah Hao to have the ability to make money, and the fragrance-free flower dew shop is getting more and more prosperous."

  The old lady also smiled: "It's a good thing to be able to manage things, and I won't be in a hurry when I become a concubine in the future."

   As he was talking, Lin Hao came in.

  Lin smiled and joked when he saw his daughter: "I'm back for dinner."

   Unlike Lin's expectation that her daughter would be shy, Lin Hao pursed his lips and looked serious: "Grandmother, mother, something big has happened."

   "What's the matter?" The old lady and Mrs Lin were taken aback.

   With their good understanding of Lin, it must be a great thing to say that.

   "Prince was poisoned in Wuweizhai."

   As soon as these words came out, Lin's eyes suddenly widened, and the teacup in the old lady's hand shook violently.

   "Ah, how are you and Shizi?" Lin Shi grabbed Lin Hao's arm and looked up and down nervously.

  The old lady suppressed her fast-beating heart: "What are you panicking about? If something happens, Hao won't be here. Hao, please speak slowly."

  Lin Hao briefly explained the situation.

   "So, your brother-in-law is also in Jinlinwei now?" Lin Shi was afraid for a while.

  If Chan'er hadn't resigned from his relationship with the prince at that time——

   She knew that it was inappropriate to think like this, but when something happened, everyone had a close and distant relationship in their hearts.

   "No one dares to neglect such a major event as the prince's murder. Brother-in-law and the others have all been taken away. But don't worry, according to the current investigation, only the champion Yang Zhe has not been freed from suspicion. Brother-in-law and the others should be fine."

   Having said that, the faces of the old lady and Mrs Lin were still hard to see with the naked eye.

   is connected with the death of the prince, even if it is innocent, the result of the emperor's thunder is hard to say.

  The old lady instructed the steward to go to the Shangshufu to report the letter.

   At this time, Emperor Tai'an had already heard the reports from Cheng Maoming and Shen Shangshu.

   It took only half a day for the prince to have an accident. It was not easy to find out so much, but it was not enough for Emperor Tai'an.

Far from enough.

   "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will find that person for me!" When he said this, Tai'an's face was covered with dark clouds, and his eyes wanted to choose someone.

   "Yes." Cheng Maoming and Shen Shangshu said in unison.

   "Also." Emperor Tai'an glanced at the two of them, "Until that person is found, no one in the restaurant is allowed to go away."

   "The minister leads the order."

  Cheng Maoming pondered for a while, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, that Prince Jing--"

   When he reported it just now, he naturally did not dare to hide the matter of releasing Prince Jing's son back to the mansion. In order to prevent the emperor from questioning his attitude towards Prince Jing's son, what should be mentioned cannot be avoided.

   Emperor Tai'an rubbed his eyebrows, his voice full of sadness and exhaustion: "Focus on searching for the suspect, find someone and let Prince Jing and Second Lady Lin confirm."

   Cheng Maoming knew as soon as he heard it that the emperor had no suspicions about Prince Jing's son, and hurriedly replied yes.

   Waiting for Cheng Maoming and Shen Shangshu to retreat, Tai'an Emperor sat for a long time, and ordered: "Report the mourning."

  The remains of the prince have been transported back to the palace in a low-key manner for a small funeral, and the mourning hall was quickly set up, and the solemn and gorgeous palace soon turned white.

   Concubine Jing passed out when she received the news of the death of the prince, and didn't wake up until it was dark.

   "Shirou—" Concubine Jing cried out mournfully and stumbled into the room where the prince's body was placed.

   The prince, who had put on a shroud, was lying on the bed. If he didn't look at his blue face, he would have thought he was fast asleep.

   The moment she saw her son, Concubine Jing completely collapsed: "Shiro, Shiro, open your eyes and look at Concubine!"

  Outside the door, Emperor Tai'an stood silently, listening to Concubine Jing's heart-wrenching cry with heartache.

   The eldest son was immoral and incompetent, and the fourth son was killed just after he became the crown prince. Is this the retribution for his seizure of power?

When    was still a prince, the land was ceded to pay indemnity, the city was seized, and Liang Jiang died. One news after another ignited his anger and ignited his ambition.

  The country that was built by the father and emperor was not so ruined by the eldest brother.

  A weak and incompetent person, who can't protect the inheritance of his ancestors, and can't protect the people of Limin, how can he occupy the throne?

   Instead of waiting for the prodigal son to hand over the Great Zhou Jiangshan to the Qi people, it is better for him to sit.

   Over the years, no matter how difficult the situation was, Emperor Tai'an never regretted it, but at this moment he felt a little shaken.

   "Your Majesty, how did Shiro die? Tell me, how did Shiro die!" Concubine Jing rushed out and knelt at Emperor Tai'an's feet.

   The cry brought back Emperor Tai'an's thoughts, and the short-term weakness dissipated silently. He stretched out his hand to pull Concubine Jing up, and his voice was firm: "I will make the person who harmed Shiro punished, I promise."

   In response to the emperor's promise, it was Concubine Jing's grief-stricken cry.

   This day is destined to be sad and heavy.

   Baiguan Xungui, who officially received the funeral letter, immediately stopped all feasts and pleasures and changed into plain clothes.

   Anxiety is like the ubiquitous wind surging in every corner. Almost every mansion has quietly sent people out to inquire about the situation.

  Concubine Jing came from a humble background and had long since lost her family. The most genuinely saddened by these palaces in Beijing was the British government.

  Like Concubine Jing, when she heard the news of the death of the prince, Du Ying, the eldest girl of the British government, rolled her eyes and fainted.

   "Mother, the crown prince is dead, what should I do?" She cried while pulling on Mother Du's sleeve.

  Mother Du had red eyes and couldn't answer her daughter's words.

   It is not the son of an ordinary official who is engaged to his daughter, but the prince, and he is even about to get married. What else can he do except watch the widow!

  Thinking of this, Mother Du's eyes turned black and she wanted to pass out.

  The capital's prefectures were heavily depressed, and only the frenzied laughter sounded in Prince Liang's mansion.

"Hahaha, died well, dying is wonderful, hahahahah" Liang Wang laughed at Yangtian, without any concealment.

   The servants on the side were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and hurriedly discouraged: "My lord, the crown prince should be in condolences!"

"Go away!" King Liang pushed the person who was dissuading him, with a reckless smile on the corner of his mouth, "The fourth child is dead, the father is the only son like me, why should I mourn? Hahaha, God has eyes, It's mine or mine, no one can take it away!"
