The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual
Chapter 69 The Imperial Palace (2)
Everyone said that Prince Ning was a man of great righteousness and understanding, but why didn't he let the Yun father and daughter leave at this moment?
Yun Zhongtang was full of worries. Prince Shangguan knew his son's situation very well, and he could see that his daughter did not want to have anything to do with Prince Shangguan.
Shangguan Hongwen ignored Yun Zhongtang's dissatisfied look, but said to Shu Xin with concern: "Little girl, don't kneel, get up!"
However, Yun Shang cried even harder. She knew in her heart that she not only had to kneel, but also had to cry as she left the hall. Only in this way would the emperor feel more guilty towards her father and thus leave some favor in the emperor's heart.
When Shangguan Hongwen saw Yun Shang like this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he smiled secretly.
The emperor actually knew in his heart that the little girl was extremely reluctant, but since things had already happened by coincidence, it would be difficult for her to get away even if she didn't want to.
"Someone come!" the emperor shouted.
Seeing this, Yun Zhongtang hurriedly said anxiously: "Your Majesty, my daughter is unlucky and is really not worthy of Prince Shangguan!"
Shangguan Haoyu also immediately refused and said, "Uncle Emperor, this matter should be thoroughly investigated and the real culprit should be severely punished, and a fair explanation should be given to this girl. There is no need to ruin her life because of this." After hearing this, Yun Zhongtang was filled with gratitude towards Master Shangguan and felt that what he said was very reasonable.
"Your Majesty, I agree!" Yun Zhongtang hurriedly echoed.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately became furious. He shook his sleeves vigorously and scolded, "Why, one after another, you are unwilling! I am upset just looking at it! What's wrong with Shangguan Prince? What's wrong with being weak? Get married soon and have a child. Yunqing family, you can enjoy the happiness of family life."
The emperor really couldn't understand why he was so pedantic. There were many people in this world who sold their daughters for fame and fortune, but he had never seen anyone like him. He refused the high position and generous salary right before his eyes! Usually, the emperor admired such people of high moral character, but at this moment, he was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached!
"And you. Although the girl is still innocent, her reputation is ruined because of you. You still refuse to take responsibility. What kind of books do you read every day?" The emperor was extremely angry and scolded the two of them severely.
At this moment, the voice of Concubine Hui came from outside the palace: "What's going on? I am here to deliver food to Prince Shangguan as ordered."
When the emperor heard this, he angrily shouted, "No need to send it, I'm already full of anger!"
"Concubine Hui, take your people and leave Murong Palace." The emperor gave a strict order. The news must not be allowed to spread until the matter was properly handled.
Although Concubine Hui did not know what had happened in Murong Palace, she did not dare to disobey the emperor's order. She could only follow the order and led everyone away in disappointment.
As soon as she walked out of the corridor, Concubine Hui ran into Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning asked curiously, "Sister Hui, weren't you delivering food to the prince? Why did you come out so soon?"
Concubine Hui looked helpless and lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Hey! I wonder what Prince Shangguan did? The emperor is furious in there!"
After hearing this, Concubine Ning opened her mouth in surprise: "Ah! Is this true?"
Concubine Ning's heart suddenly trembled, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. She thought to herself, "How could the emperor be alarmed? The emperor just left the table. Could it be because of Prince Shangguan?"
"Indeed! The emperor usually loves Prince Shangguan very much. I really don't know what Prince Shangguan did to make the emperor so angry." The person next to him echoed.
Concubine Ning felt that the situation was not good, and thought to herself: "Then let's leave first! We have to make arrangements quickly. If the emperor investigates, it will be troublesome."
After saying that, the two of them hurried back to their own palaces.
At this time, the emperor was sitting on a chair with a furious look on his face, looking fiercely at the two people who were keeping their heads down and keeping silent.
Shangguan Hongwen saw this and quickly offered a suggestion: "Brother Emperor, in my opinion, why don't we try this matter first and decide the matter of the two young men later."
The emperor frowned, feeling very upset. His original plan was to arrange the marriage of the two young people first and then investigate this unexpected incident. But given the current situation, he had no choice but to change his plan.
The emperor was in a bad mood. He slammed the table hard and shouted, "Come here, call the guards at the door in!"
The emperor had no choice but to review the matter first so that everyone could calm down and make plans.
Soon, two guards came in and reported the situation truthfully in a trembling manner.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor sent people to look for the two palace maids who had lit the calming incense. Not long after, news came that the two palace maids had committed suicide.
Then, the gardener who had moved a few pots of flowers was also brought up.
According to the gardener, they did not even enter the temple, but only placed flower pots and carried out transplants outside.
The guards on duty could also testify to this. The only time they had a break was when two guards were taking turns on duty, and they would leave for a moment to report to the captain of the guards.
But by then, the flowers had been moved and transplanted, and several gardeners had left.
After such interrogation, no useful flaws were found!
The emperor frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it, since we don't know how Yunshang got it in, let's check the medicine that Prince Shangguan drank."
So the emperor changed the direction of his investigation, and indeed he found the problem.
There was an imperceptible cold medicine in the soup, which would aggravate the cough. A person with a weak constitution like Prince Shangguan might even fall into a coma after taking it.
Afterwards, they continued to investigate and found that this medicine had been handled by three people in total on its way from the Imperial Hospital to Murong Palace.
Soon, all three were brought before the emperor.
However, before the emperor had the chance to interrogate her, a maid committed suicide by taking poison on the spot.
The clue was interrupted again, and the emperor was furious, his face looking frighteningly gloomy.
Looking at the young couple who were obviously unwilling to get married, and Yun Zhongtang whose expression showed that he was clearly strongly opposed, the emperor felt more and more headache.
Finally, the emperor waved his hand and said impatiently: "Everyone, please leave! I will make the final decision on this matter."
Yun Zhongtang was overjoyed to see that the emperor did not arrange the marriage on the spot, leaving room for the matter. He knelt down to express his gratitude and then hurriedly left Mu Rong Palace with Yun Shang.
