Chapter 169 The news of the princess' death
Gu Xi quickly shook his head, "I stayed in the palace and voluntarily. I have no home anymore. I can serve you by your highness, I am willing!"
Rong He looked at her meaningfully for a while, but nodded lightly and continued to play the piano.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The hurried voice of the palace maid interrupted him.
"What's the matter in a hurry?"
"Princess, princess, she!"
Rong He's hand playing the zither gradually stopped, and he raised his eyes to look at the maid with a frightened face, "What's wrong with the emperor sister?"
"The eldest princess... has passed away..."
The strings broke and splashed into Rong He's ears, leaving a blood mark, which also made his ears thunder.
His face turned pale, "What are you talking about? The emperor's sister has only been married for two months."
The palace maid knelt down and started crying, "It was me who heard from the eunuchs around the emperor... After the princess got married, she was depressed and had a serious illness before the Winter Solstice. The doctor couldn't treat it well, saying that it was because she was not suitable for the local conditions. Then... A Yunfan king Feige sent a letter to him, saying that the princess had passed away, and asked the emperor if she wanted to take the princess' body back..."
Rong He stumbled and stood up, the piano table, piano and sandalwood all fell to the ground, and it was in a mess.
"What do you say about Father? Tell me quickly!"
"The emperor just fainted, and the doctors from the Imperial Hospital were rushing over. Concubine Zhang went there. So..."
Therefore, this matter must be groundless.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The palace people chased the prince behind the running out and shouted.
He ran in the snow, praying constantly, it was not true, it would definitely not be true!
...
The eldest princess died of illness.
This snow in winter seems to be adding a layer of mourning white to Nanyan.
Several special envoys came over the Yunfan Kingdom in a row and begged for the emperor's forgiveness.
He also said that the queen and the prince would also personally send the princess' body back. They would accept any blame from Nan Yan and would be willing to compensate Nan Yan and apologize for not taking good care of the princess.
The emperor summoned all military generals to the Oath Hall to discuss the matter with the Yunfan Kingdom.
Of course, Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue are both included.
This is the first time that all the military officers have gathered together. After all, it is a big deal for the princess to die of illness in the Yunfan Kingdom.
Bai Jue and Gu Wanqing entered the palace in the same carriage.
When I walked through the must-pass road of Imperial Garden, Rong He was standing in the middle of the road.
He had a tired black blue at the moment, his eyes were covered with red bloodshot, not to mention that he was the swollen eyelids he had cried.
Bai Jue and Gu Wanqing looked at each other and knew what to face.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Rong He slowly approached, and Gu Wanqing felt a little scared.
"Bai Jue."
"yes."
As soon as Bai Jue looked up, a fist flew towards him and hit him hard on the side face.
The sound of phalanx and cheek bones colliding is extremely loud.
All the palace maids around him were so scared that they knelt down, but no one dared to talk too much.
Gu Wanqing held Bai Jue and did not let him fall to the ground.
Bai Jue's eyes were instantly covered with blood, and he returned to his standing posture.
Rong He did not relax his fist and continued to punch.
And this fist was caught by Gu Wanqing. Although she was a woman, she didn't have to let He Xiao's strength go.
"Your Highness, please calm down..."
Gu Wanqing didn’t know if she should follow up, please feel sorry for her.
Rong He put down his red hand, said nothing, and stared at Bai Jue for a long time.
He looked at him with an extremely cold and sharp look.
Gu Wanqing had never seen Rong He with such a look. She remembered that the prince had relieved her and was a gentle and heartwarming person.
The murderous aura of Zhaolu did not match him, which made people feel a little sad.
Gu Wanqing has only known the prince for half a year, but she has seen with her own eyes that he has experienced things that ordinary people cannot bear.
Any behavior is understandable.
Others will pass through this road. If other officials see it, it may make people wonder why the prince is so angry with Bai Jue.
Gu Wanqing pulled Bai Jue away, "Your Highness, the emperor is still waiting for me and Bai Jue. Chen, and Bai Jue to retreat first."
Rong He asked coldly, "Bai Jue, do you regret it?"
Bai Jue took slow steps, "I don't regret it."
"Okay, very good..."
Rong He was still standing there, and the eunuch beside him reminded him in fear, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Let's go back quickly, so you can't let the emperor know that your highness is messing around here."
And the eunuch just saw that His Highness's hand was placed on the hilt of the short sword at his waist.
If General Wan Qing had not stopped him just now, the dagger would have stabbed towards Mr. Bai Er.
...
In the Oath Hall, the emperor was wrapped in bandages on his forehead, and there was still a little blood oozing out from it.
Before coming, the eunuch around the emperor reminded not to mention the matters about the princess during her lifetime, but to just discuss matters related to the Yunfan Kingdom.
The emperor did not sleep all night, and fell down the stairs this morning in a drowsy morning, breaking his forehead, making his already sick body worse.
The emperor should also regret marrying Rong Ruiji to the prince of Yunfan, which led to irreparable consequences.
He seemed to have a lot of hair white overnight.
But he is not an ordinary father, and this is not an ordinary marriage. They still need to face the future problems of the Yunfan Kingdom.
"The princess's body must return to Nanyan. As for the apology from Yunfan Kingdom, the emperor still needs to consider it and cannot respond for the time being."
"It was an extremely irresponsible act that they had not reported when the princess was seriously ill. I think that they should give them some color on this reason and should not let them underestimate Nan Yan."
"Yes, my master, I am willing to lead my troops. I will set out to fight against the Yunfan Kingdom tomorrow. No matter what strange terrain they are, I will definitely be able to recover them all and add territory to Nanyan! I will also avenge the eldest princess!"
Gu Wanqing stood quietly beside these generals.
In fact, she and Bai Jue had guessed it before they came, and the emperor had some plans in his mind.
This time, only military generals were summoned, and no civil servants were present. The meaning was not how to consider the relationship with Yunfan Kingdom this time.
But, how to obtain the Yunfan Kingdom.
"Bai Jue, what do you think? Or the main battle or the main peace?"
Bai Jue nodded and said, "I am fighting."
The generals nodded with satisfaction, but fortunately Lord Bai stood with them.
Gu Wanqing's eyes widened, unexpectedly.
The emperor looked at Bai Yansheng again, "Where is Marquis Bai?"
"I have no idea yet."
After Bai Yansheng answered, he also glanced at Bai Jue.
He and Gu Wanqing had the same feeling. Bai Jue was a decisive person, but according to his personality, he would not immediately make a decision about whether to fight or to be harmonious.
