The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

Queen Shen looked at Qingbai coldly, with a warning look on her face.

Qingbai didn't dare to say that his master had left the mansion to assassinate Gu Lingyue. He could only say that an assassin suddenly broke into the eldest prince's mansion and attacked the eldest prince. In the end, the eldest prince was killed by the enemy's hidden weapon.

Emperor Tianqi was not satisfied with his explanation.

There are so many guards in the eldest prince's mansion, and there are also secret guards in the dark. How could they let their master be easily assassinated?

If that's the case, then what's the point of having these guards?

He looked around the room and saw the eldest prince's wife lowering her head to coax the child. Everyone else, including the queen, also lowered their heads. It seemed that there was something else going on.

He snorted coldly and ordered the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor to solve the case as soon as possible. Then he asked the eldest prince's wife to take care of Long Xian's funeral and asked Long Jun to help deal with it. He ignored Queen Shen and turned to leave the eldest prince's mansion.

The people of the Shen family, including the auxiliary general Shen Zhiyuan, comforted Queen Shen with a few words and left Shen Junye.

Queen Shen looked at the people leaving with hatred in her eyes.

She said to Long Jun, "Jun'er, you see clearly now, your father doesn't care about us at all. Now the Queen Mother only has you. You must avenge your brother! You must kill those bitches."

Long Jun didn't say anything, but nodded.

Even without his mother telling him, he would have taken revenge on them, not only for his brother, but also for himself.

At this time, Gu Lingyue and others had just returned to Prince Jing's Mansion when Gu Chenrui came to find them.

He looked at Long Shang and snorted coldly, looking unhappy.

He has come to Prince Jing's Mansion several times in the past few days, but Prince Jing was not there. Instead, he found someone to teach him. He had originally said that he would teach him personally.

"fraud."

Long Shang found it a little funny. He knew he was wrong, but he really didn't mean it.

"Come on, let me check how you've been practicing these past few days."

"Hmph! This young master doesn't have time today." Gu Chenrui said with a cocky look on his face.

Don't think he doesn't know that the hunters came back two days ago.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it when you have time." Long Shang said calmly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with saying that.

“………”Gu Chenrui felt like vomiting blood.

Why didn't he play by the rules, apologize to me, and say that if this happened again, he would take me with him?

Yes, he was indeed envious when he heard from his secret guards that Prince Jing and his men were hunting, and he also wanted to go. The most important thing was that he occasionally heard that Yun Shu was injured, and he wanted to go see her.

So when his Aunt Wen was about to come to Prince Jing's Mansion, he stopped her and came himself.

However, he had been here for such a long time and had not seen that woman. Could she be seriously injured?

Seeing Gu Chenrui looking around while talking, Gu Lingyue asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Chenrui blushed upon hearing this, "Nothing... nothing."

After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "Grandfather and his family returned to Beijing yesterday. Mother asked you to go back and have dinner with him and the others."

Gu Lingyue knew that eating was secondary, and Tang probably wanted her to treat the Marquis of Zhenbei.

It seems that the condition of Marquis Zhenbei is very serious, otherwise, given Tang's personality, he would not have come to call him over as soon as they returned.

"Okay, let's go now."

After saying that, Gu Lingyue took a step forward, then thought of something, turned around and walked behind Long Shang's wheelchair, "Let's go together."

Long Shang curled the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, a carriage happened to be parked at the gate of Prince Jin's palace, and a eunuch got off the carriage.

The person who came was Gao Ming's godson Xiao Dezi.

"This servant greets Prince Jing and Princess Jing."

"Yeah." Long Shang responded lightly, and Gu Lingyue looked at the person who came without saying a word.

"I am following the emperor's oral order to summon Princess Jing to the palace." Xiao Dezi said quickly.

Gu Lingyue frowned slightly, wondering what Emperor Tianqi's intention was.

She thought that the Queen would not dare to say openly that she had killed Long Xian. After all, she had followed him to the hunting ground, and everyone knew about it. If she said that Long Xian was killed by her in the hunting ground, then his assassination attempt on her would also be exposed.

Could it be that Emperor Tianqi found out that he was the one who killed Long Xian? Whatever it was, it seemed that he had to go to the palace this time.

Long Shang's face darkened. "Go away! Go back and tell my father that I don't have time today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

He still has to accompany Yue'er back to her parents' home.

"This..." Xiao Dezi was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly looked at Gu Lingyue, hoping that Gu Lingyue could persuade Long Shang.

He is just a small servant and dares not offend anyone.

Gu Lingyue looked at Gu Chenrui, "Rui'er, tell me honestly, how is Grandpa's health?"

Gu Chenrui thought for a moment, "Now I just can't walk. As for the rest, it must be very painful. The first night after I came back, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw my mother standing outside my grandparents' room, and I could hear my grandfather groaning in the room. I think he must have been in unbearable pain, so he cried out. My mother cried at the time, so..."

Gu Lingyue understood.

The reason why her mother let her go as soon as she came back was because she felt sorry for her grandfather.

After understanding, Gu Lingyue said, "You go back first. Your brother-in-law and I will go to the palace and will be there soon."

When Long Shang heard Gu Lingyue ask Gu Chenrui to call him brother-in-law, his gloomy face looked better. Xiao Dezi beside him also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Gu Chenrui glanced at Xiao Dezi standing beside him, nodded, and got on the Tang family's carriage.

Gu Lingyue and Long Shang got on the carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion and headed towards the palace.

In the palace at this time.

Emperor Tianqi sat behind the imperial desk, not knowing what he was thinking. Gao Ming served him carefully, not daring to make any noise.

After a long while, Emperor Tianqi said, "I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is back?"

"Yes, the Marquis is back, but because of his old illness, I heard that he can't even get out of bed now." Gao Ming whispered.

Emperor Tianqi nodded.

He knew about this, as it was written in the memorial Tang Zhenhong gave him.

He said that his health was no longer able to stay at the border, so he asked them to allow him to return to the capital.

He agreed.

He understood that he came here to return to the capital to recuperate, but most importantly, to show his loyalty to him.

Now that he has brought his family back, he can use the Tang family with confidence.

Tang Zhenhong was an old minister and a loyal one. He couldn't let the loyal minister feel disappointed, nor could he let the fourth brother hate him anymore. But Xian'er was his eldest son after all, and he felt very uncomfortable when he lost him just like that.

There is also the Shen family. The Queen Mother's party has not fallen yet, and he has not yet dealt with the King of Xiang. At this time, the Shen family cannot be

Fall, so he also has to give an explanation to the Shen family.

Emperor Tianqi was thinking a lot at the moment, his brows furrowed deeply, and Gao Ming didn't dare to disturb him.

At this time, Xiao Dezi's voice was heard outside, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing and Princess Jing have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianqi sat up straight and said, "Come in."
