Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

The Crown Princess died, and the Crown Prince first informed the Queen and Zhao Yuanqing.

The Queen cursed, "She got it easy. If this matter were to be exposed, her entire clan would be executed."

"Mother, the Lu family was sensible and ended their lives on their own, saving us from having to do anything else. Most of the others were innocent and could still be useful if they were kept alive."

The Queen nodded, "My son is kind-hearted. Lu Ruoyi is blind to not recognize the value of gold and jade. It's her own fault! Prince, wait a while, and your mother will choose a good one for you to be the Crown Princess."

The prince was not interested, "Let's talk about it later."

"You can't wait any longer. You're already 23 years old and haven't given birth to a son yet. This isn't good for you inheriting the throne. Before, Lu Ruoyi didn't want to have children herself and also tried to stop others from having them. Now that she's gone, your top priority is to have a child quickly!"

That's right, the prince nodded, "Mother, Tan Qianwen has been named Liang Di, pick a good day to bring her to the Eastern Palace, there's no rush for the Crown Princess, we have to take our time choosing."

After the mother and her two sons had discussed it, they reported the Crown Princess's death to the Emperor. The cause of death was a sudden illness. The Emperor did not suspect anything else and buried her according to the regulations.

Ming Zhaoyi was anxious. She knew that the Fourth Prince and the Crown Princess were in contact. Now the Crown Princess died inexplicably. What was the reason? Did the Crown Prince discover something?

But she didn't dare say it, because if she did, she would be sentenced to death!

"Someone, go call the Fourth Prince and tell him I have something urgent to discuss with him."

The palace servant ran around and reported back, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is not in the palace. The servants said he went out and hasn't returned yet."

Ming Zhaoyi's heart began to uneasy, "Go find him quickly!"

"Yes!"

In Jingzhao Prefecture, someone reported to the police, "Master, come and take a look, someone has been killed in our teahouse!"

It turned out that after the Fourth Prince died in the teahouse, the Crown Prince threw him there and left. The waiter of the teahouse went to knock on the door after a long time, but no one answered for a long time, so he pushed the door open and went in.

Upon seeing this, he was horrified to see a man lying on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth. His whole body was swollen like a white bun and his facial features could not be distinguished!

Oh my god, it’s obvious that he’s poisoned. The person who just went in was a handsome young man!

The waiter hurried to find the boss. The boss thought to himself that something bad had happened. The private room on the third floor had been rented out to a rich young man for a long time. No one knew which family in Beijing he was from. Now that he was dead, his teahouse could no longer be run.

Report to the police!

When the people in Jingzhao Prefecture heard that someone had died, they rushed to investigate. They handcuffed all the people in the teahouse and prevented them from leaving. They also sealed off the rooms and investigated each one one by one.

I first arrived at the Fourth Prince's room and saw a huge man lying on the ground with blood and foam in his mouth. His limbs were swollen like elephant legs. He was scratching towards the door, as if calling someone.

There was a bundle lying next to it, which seemed to contain clothes.

The officer took up the bundle, opened it, and shook out the clothes inside. After taking a few glances, he said in shock, "Sir, look!"

The leading officials took one look and saw the golden fabric, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, with its eyes blazing brightly. They were horrified and said, "This is a dragon robe!"

"Seal off this place immediately and don't allow anyone in or out! Please ask the adults to come!"

The official rushed back to Jingzhao Prefecture on horseback and invited Jingzhao Yin He Chao, the highest official of Jingzhao Prefecture.

On the way, He Chao had already heard about the case. When he arrived at the place, he first looked at the clothes. It was a very realistic dragon robe, almost exactly the same as the one worn by the emperor.

This dragon robe is not like ordinary clothes. It cannot be made in one or two days. It requires dozens or even hundreds of embroiderers to work for many days. Moreover, the people who make the dragon robe are also unusual, because ordinary embroiderers do not know how to make a dragon robe. Only experienced ones can make a dragon robe that is exactly the same as the one worn by the emperor.

In other words, either someone found a workshop that made dragon robes and had them remade, or someone got hold of the emperor's dragon robe, drew one based on the design, and then found someone to make it.

Either way, it is a huge crime.

He Chao felt bad, the weather in the capital was about to change.

"Come here, carefully examine this person's clothes and identify who he is and how he died!"

"Yes!"

The officer cut off a piece of the corpse's clothing and called the silk shop owner to carefully identify it. "Look, what kind of fabric is this?"

"Master, we have never seen this kind of fabric before."

"You are the largest silk shop in the capital. What kind of fabric have you not seen?"

"Master, this fabric is thin but not see-through, and it absorbs sweat without sticking to the body. Moreover, it shimmers slightly in the sun. I suspect it is jacquard brocade produced in Jiangnan. This jacquard brocade is a tribute and is not sold in any store."

He Chao pondered after hearing this. Tribute? Most tributes were only used by the emperor, empress, princes and princesses. A very small number were given to the relatives of ministers who had made meritorious contributions. Only the powerful and influential could use such things. Then who was this person?

"Turn the body over, facing upwards."

"Yes!"

The Fourth Prince's body was turned over. His handsome face had turned as red as a white bun. He Chao stepped forward and carefully identified him. He had seen all the princes and princesses before, so who was this man?

As he watched, his heart skipped a beat. "Ma Qing, do you think he looks like...?"

He Chao raised four fingers. Ma Qing was his confidant, and he immediately understood, "Sir, you mean he is the fourth..."

"Yes, it looks very similar to me. Take a closer look."

Ma Qing came closer and saw that the hairstyle was very similar, the clothes were tribute, the shoes were also the palace's Dengyun boots, and the socks were also the palace style. The most important thing was the corpse's jade belt. There was a piece of jade engraved with the word "Ning", and the fourth prince's name was Zhao Ning.

"My lord, nine out of ten times."

That raises a serious question. The Fourth Prince was poisoned to death, with the dragon robe beside him. Did he commit suicide out of fear of punishment for making the robe privately? Or was someone framing him and then killing him?

But no matter what, Jingzhao Prefecture can no longer handle this case. It must be reported to the emperor immediately and handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. The water behind this is too complicated!

He Chao immediately went to the palace and reported everything to the emperor.

The emperor was furious after hearing this and smashed the paperweight down, splattering all over the ground. He roared, "What nonsense! How could my Fourth Prince die?! If you dare to curse my Fourth Prince again, I will kill you!"

The emperor reacted very strongly. He Chao felt that the emperor's attitude was very strange. He heard that the emperor did not value the fourth prince and usually treated him like a nobody. The ones he valued most were the third prince born to Concubine Hui and the crown prince born to the queen. But now it seemed that the emperor valued the fourth prince very much?

He Chao kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly. I only have suspicions now. Please ask Your Majesty to ask someone who is familiar with the Fourth Prince to make an assessment."

The emperor's chest rose and fell violently, and after a long while he said, "Come here, go to Ming Zhaoyi's palace and ask if the Fourth Prince is here?"
