"What, Princess Ma is dead?!"

Daohua looked at Wang Maner who hurried into the room with a shocked face. She was so surprised that the account book in her hand fell to the ground.

Wang Man'er nodded quickly: "The person who went back to report the matter is the nun in charge of the princess. She can't be wrong."

Daohua immediately asked: "How did you die?"

Wang Man'er: "The steward said that the princess accidentally fell down a stone staircase dozens of meters high while offering incense in the temple, and died on the spot."

"My grandma was so frightened that she fainted. Fortunately, Mrs. Wei Guogong also went to the temple to offer incense. With her taking care of her, nothing happened to my grandma, but she still had some fetal force."

"The uncle has already taken people to the temple. I think he will be able to bring the princess and grandma back soon."

Daohua was stunned for a while before she digested the news that Princess Ma was dead.

Wang Man'er looked at Daohua: "Girl, since the princess is dead, will Pingxi Hall also be decorated?"

Daohua breathed out: "Go and arrange it."

After Wang Man'er retreated, Daohua frowned.

She didn't believe that Princess Ma would accidentally fall down the stone stairs and die. The maid and mother-in-law beside her were very pushy. There must be something going on here.

Luo Qiong moved his hand?

Just when Daohua was thinking wildly, Xiao Yeyang came back.

Daohua saw it and hurriedly greeted her: "Princess Ma is dead, did you know?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Daohua grabbed Xiao Yeyang: "How did he die? The steward who came back to report said that he fell from the stone ladder and died. I don't believe this statement."

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "This Luo Qiong is a powerful person. I underestimated her before." As he said that, he took a cup of tea and then said, "It was Xiao Yechi who did it."

Daohua: "Xiao Yechi? The person who had an affair with Luo Qiong is really the son of the Eighth Prince?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Daohua was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why did Xiao Yechi kill Princess Ma? Did he and Luo Qiong have a tryst in the temple and was caught on the spot by Princess Ma?"

Xiao Yeyang took Daohua and sat down: "Princess Ma was suspicious of the child in Luo Qiong's belly. She brought a midwife over today to confirm the month of Luo Qiong's belly."

"Luo Qiong's belly can't even be hidden from you, how could it be hidden from an experienced midwife? Now that Princess Ma knows the truth, do you think Xiao Yechi can let her go?"

Daohua noticed the sweat on Xiao Yeyang's forehead and quickly wiped him with a handkerchief: "Why are you sweating so much?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Xiao Yechi killed Princess Ma. I accidentally made some noise. Xiao Yechi realized that someone was watching him secretly and ran away immediately. I chased him for a while, and finally because

Being dragged by two dead men, Xiao Yechi ran away."

Daohua: "Then Xiao Yechi doesn't know that you are checking him?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "I'm wearing a secret guard uniform, with my face covered."

Daohua was silent, and her voice suddenly rose a bit and she said, "Xiao Yechi ran away after the accident. After that, it was Luo Qiong who arranged Princess Ma's affairs?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "That's why I said I underestimated her before."

Her mother-in-law died in front of her, but she could still immediately devote herself to covering up the truth. Regardless of how she deceived the maid and mother-in-law, her character alone is not something that ordinary people can match.

Daohua agreed with her face: "Yes, it seems that I have to be careful with her in the future." After saying that, she paused and said, "What do you think Xiao Yechi's purpose is for returning to Beijing?"

Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes: "This is what I want to know too. Xiao Yechi managed to save his life. There is no way he could return to Beijing for no reason."

Daohua: "Does he want to come back to avenge the Eight Kings?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "No, if he wants revenge, the past few months will not be so peaceful. He must have some other purpose in returning to Beijing this time."

If he hadn't wanted to find out this, he would have ordered the arrest as soon as he saw Xiao Yechi.

At this moment, Wang Maner walked into the house: "Girl, uncle, I have taken the princess and grandma back to the house."

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other, got up, changed into plain clothes, and went to Pingxi Hall together.

......

After the news of Princess Ma's death came back to the palace, the palace stewards immediately decorated the palace. At this moment, white cloths were hung in all the courtyards of the palace.

The house where Princess Ma lived before had been decorated as a mourning hall. As soon as Daohua and Xiao Yeyang came over, they saw Xiao Yechen crying so hard that he was out of breath.

It can be seen that the death of Princess Ma was a huge blow to him.

Yes, putting aside the opposing positions, people are fine in the morning, but when they go out to enjoy some incense, they are gone. If this happens to anyone, I am afraid they will not be able to accept it.

Prince Ping stood in front of the coffin with a sad expression. After all, he was the concubine he had loved for many years, and she left so suddenly. He felt very uncomfortable.

Concubine Jiang, Concubine Ji and others also came over and stood in the mourning hall.

Dao Huahuan looked around and found that Luo Qiong was not there, so she asked Wang Man'er to inquire.

Soon, Wang Man'er came back and whispered to Daohua: "Grandma has fetal force, the prince asked her to lie down in the room, and Mrs. Wei Guogong is with her."

Daohua nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Yan Yatou."

Prince Ping suddenly stopped Daohua.

Daohua hurriedly stepped forward: "Father, are you okay?"

Prince Ping shook his head: "The princess is gone, and Yechen's wife is pregnant again. There must be a mistress in charge of the palace. From today on, you will be in charge of the palace."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Daohua.

Daohua's eyelids twitched, she didn't want to take this job at all.

After taking over the stewardship of the palace, the funeral of Princess Ma will fall on her shoulders.

This kind of thing should be done well. If she didn't do it well, she could imagine how many people would jump out to find fault with her.

After thinking about it, Daohua looked at Prince Ping with embarrassment: "Father, thank you for your consideration, but my daughter-in-law is too young and has too few things to do. I'm afraid she won't be able to manage such a large palace."

As he said that, he looked at Concubine Ji and Concubine Jiang who were standing aside.

"How about we let the two concubines take charge, and I can just learn from the side?"

Concubine Jiang and Concubine Ji were both surprised by Daohua's evasion. They looked at each other, but neither of them politely declined the stewardship power that fell from the sky.

Prince Ping thought for a while and felt that Daohua was right, so he agreed to her proposal.

On the other side, Chenyuan.

Listening to the painful cries coming from Pingxi Hall, Luo Qiong sat on the bed and ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge with an expressionless face.

After the maid took away the food, Mrs. Wei Guogong asked Xue Qiao and Xue Ling to guard outside the door, and then held Luo Qiong's hand tightly: "My child, listen to mother's advice and remove the piece of meat from your belly."

Knock it off."

When Luo Qiong heard this, she was so shocked that she withdrew her hand: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Weiguo lowered her voice and said earnestly: "My child, there is no airtight wall in the world. As long as you give birth to the child in your belly, he may become a threat to you at any time."

"The most terrible thing is that he is still the flesh and blood of Xiao Yechi. Do you know that if someone discovers this, you and Duke Wei will be dead?"

"My child, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Now that your mother-in-law is dead, you can live a good life with Yechen in the future. You will definitely have other children."

Luo Qiong was silent for a while, then looked at Mrs. Wei Guogong with a smile: "No, mother, I have given Xiao Yechen a killer drug. If I abort the child in my belly, unless I go out to steal people again,

Otherwise, I won’t have any more children.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei Guogong was stunned. After a long time, she looked at Luo Qiong and murmured: "Why? Why do you do this?"

Luo Qiong touched her belly: "I want to give this child a unique identity and status. Xiao Yechen can't have another child to threaten him."

Mrs. Weiguo fell down on the stool: "...are you so sure that you are pregnant with a son?"

Luo Qiong touched her belly: "If it's a daughter, then I'll just give birth to a son for Brother Chi."

Mrs. Wei Guo Gong's face was full of pain: "But Xiao Yechi will leave. Why are you so stupid?"

Luo Qiong smiled: "If you leave, it doesn't mean you can't come back again."

Mrs. Weiguo suddenly didn't want to say anything anymore: "My child, why are you so naive? You are spending your whole life blocking men's hearts!"

"But most of the men in this world are ruthless and unjust. In their eyes, the most important thing is power and status."

Luo Qiong lowered her head and looked at her swollen belly: "Mom, you don't have to persuade me anymore. Even if I lose the bet in the end, I won't regret it."

Mrs. Wei Guogong looked at her daughter in a daze, and suddenly felt that the daughter with a cold expression in front of her looked very much like the Duke and the old Duke.
