NFBE Chapter 372 Sore spot
Chapter 372 Sore spot
Hearing that Princess Yu was injured, Shen Tang and the others were all worried. Yun Yi hurriedly asked, "Is the injury serious?"
Chu Yi said, "It's not a small matter. I was injured so badly that I needed half a month to recover. Princess Yu will probably need to rest for a month or two."
Princess Yu was injured in the shoulder. It was not a fatal injury, but the arrow piercing her shoulder was enough for her to bear.
Shen Tang and the others were very worried about Princess Yu, but Xie Guimo and the others said that her life would not be in danger, so they felt a little relieved and made an appointment to visit her at Prince Yu's Mansion in two days. They were afraid that going too early would affect Princess Yu's recuperation.
Shen Tang asked curiously, "Shouldn't they be in the palace right now?"
It is true that Prince Yu and Prince Qi should be in the palace with the Emperor to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but the Empress Dowager is tired and has returned to the palace to rest. Seeing that Princess Yu is not in the mood, Concubine Ye suggests to the Emperor that they let them leave the palace early, as the lantern festival in the palace is not as interesting as the one outside, and they should prefer the lantern festival outside the palace.
Princess Yu kept saying no, but the emperor listened to her and let them leave the palace early.
They had been out of the palace for a while. Princess Yu really wanted to find Shen Tang and the others, but she didn't know where they were. Besides, it was rare for Prince Yu to accompany her to visit the lanterns, and she cherished it very much. Who would have thought that they would be assassinated.
They were careless and thought that Concubine Ye suggested letting them leave the palace early to deliberately pick a fight with them. However, they didn't expect that Concubine Ye really wanted them to leave the palace. Only by leaving the palace could she take their lives.
The King of Qi was already showing signs of decline, and Concubine Ye and the King of Qi were already panicking and couldn't wait to get rid of them.
Chu Yi, Xiao Xun and the others all thought that Prince Yu was destined to be the emperor, and that he would always be able to turn danger into safety and emerge auspicious in times of trouble. The assassins took advantage of the fireworks to attack, just to cut off Prince Yu's chance to ask for help. Who would have thought that in the sky full of fireworks, Xie Guimo could still see the signal flare he sent to Prince Yu.
The flares specially made by Jingyang Palace are a bit purple and different from the usual ones.
In addition, Xie Guimo was cautious by nature, and would rather make a wasted trip than not go and take a look to make sure he was at ease. This saved Prince Yu's life. Otherwise, not only would Prince Yu's wife be injured, but Prince Yu would also be dead without a doubt.
With such a strong life, you will definitely be able to sit in that position.
"Don't worry, there are imperial doctors to treat your illness. Just walk a little further and we'll be back home."
Xie Guimo comforted Shen Tang.
Shen Tang nodded slightly, put aside his worries about Princess Yu, and continued shopping.
The group continued forward, and soon the place became lively again. However, after a while, they saw many people rushing forward. Chu Yi grabbed someone he knew and asked, "What's going on up ahead?"
The captured man said, "The Marquis of Changping's son and the Marquis of Wuding's son were fighting in Zuixianlou..."
Chu Yi, “……???”
He, Xiao Xun and Lu Li looked at each other.
Lu Li asked, "Aren't the Prince of Wuding and the Prince of Changping the Marquis of the same group? Why are they fighting?"
Chu Yi also found it strange.
The Prince of Wuding is the follower of the Prince of Changping. He follows the Prince of Changping's lead. Even if the Prince of Wuding has some courage, he wouldn't dare to fight with the Prince of Changping. How could they fight?
Could it be that Wu Dingbo saw that the King of Qi could not compete with the King of Yu, and wanted to be a fence-sitter and side with the King of Yu while the King of Yu had not yet won?
But considering what Wu Dingbo did for Changping Hou, Prince Yu would not trust and use him unless Wu Dingbo offered all his wealth to him.
strangeness.
too weird.
Chu Yi and his friends were people who loved to join in the fun, so they wanted to go and watch the fun right away. However, Prince Yu had just been assassinated, and their wives were all pregnant. What if it was someone else's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Not only would they come back from watching the fun, but their wives would be gone. So they had to hold back.
But I didn't dare to go and watch the excitement, but I still walked over there. When I was almost at Zuixianlou, I heard a commotion from the other side, "It's over, someone's dead!"
Chu Yi glanced at Xie Guimo and the others and said, "I'll go take a look."
The prince of Changping Hou and the prince of Wuding Bo were fighting. They both thought that one of them was dead. No matter which one it was, it was no small matter.
Shen Tang and the others didn't get close. Soon Chu Yi came back and Lu Li asked, "Who's in trouble?"
"The Marquis of Xiping is dead."
Xiao Xun was stunned. "Aren't the ones fighting the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Wuding?"
Chu Yi said, "The Marquis of Xiping tried to intervene, but was thrown over by the enraged Marquis of Changping. He fell from the second floor of Zuixian Tower and, by some strange coincidence, landed on a broken wine jar. He must have pierced his heart."
Lu Li asked, "Why are the Prince of Changping and the Prince of Wuding fighting?"
Chu Yi said, "In order to please the Prince of Changping, the Prince of Wuding chartered a boat and invited the courtesan from Baihua Tower to accompany him. The Prince of Changping was not in the mood, so the Prince of Wuding joked with him, asking why he had changed his temper and whether his health was not good. He said he had the Golden Gun Invincible Pill. Who would have thought that the Prince of Changping would suddenly change his attitude and beat the Prince of Wuding..."
Although the Prince of Wudingbo was trying to curry favor with the Prince of Changpinghou, he was also the prince of a prefecture after all, and he would not just sit there and fight back when he was beaten. He endured two punches, but when he couldn't get angry anymore, he fought back, and then the fight started to get fierce.
The prince of Marquis of Xiping was with them at the time. When he saw that the prince of Marquis of Wuding was about to be beaten to death, he rushed forward to separate them. As a result, the prince of Marquis of Wuding did not die, but fell down and died.
Although Chu Yi had no good feelings towards any of them, he couldn't help but sigh at the unexpected incident during the Lantern Festival.
Marquis Xiping had only one son, the Prince of Xiping, who was the lifeblood of his wife. Marquis Xiping did not even dare to beat or scold his son.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun were all unaware of the fact that the Prince of Changping had been deposed. The Prince of Changping was lustful by nature and had affairs with women everywhere. He was deposed by Xie Guimo because of his provocation of Shen Tang, and he was already unhappy about it. The Prince of Wuding tried to please her and flatter her, which made him the Prince of Changping's punching bag. He was also tactless and made jokes about that with the Prince of Changping. Wasn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
If the Prince of Changping was fine, he might not care, but his sore spot was touched, which only made him angrier.
In the palace, the emperor watched various performances accompanied by his concubines and officials. The emperor could not leave the palace easily, but he could bring people from outside the palace in to perform for him.
Concubine Ye and Empress Xu sat on the left and right sides of the emperor respectively. Empress Xu was a little uneasy, while Concubine Ye was at ease and in a good mood.
A young eunuch came running over there, but he ran so fast that he fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this is terrible! Prince Yu was assassinated outside the palace!"
The lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end.
Empress Xu's face turned pale as she suddenly stood up. "Assassinated? How could he be assassinated?!"
The emperor asked, "How is Prince Yu?"
The young eunuch said, "Fortunately, the Prince of Jingyang and the Prince of Xuanyi arrived in time, and Prince Yu escaped unharmed. However, Princess Yu blocked the sword for him and was seriously injured..."
Duke Wen and his wife were both in the palace. When they heard this, their faces turned pale.
The Emperor said, "Have all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital go to Prince Yu's Mansion. No matter what, the Princess of Yu must be saved!"
Empress Xu said, "I am worried and want to go to Prince Yu's mansion to take a look."
The emperor approved.
Duke Wen, his wife, and Empress Xu left the table together.
Concubine Ye sat there, her mood not as good as it had been when she arrived.
It’s the Prince of Jingyang again!
It's happened twice, their good things have been ruined twice!
The death of Princess Yu is of no consequence!
It seems that in order to take Prince Yu's life, we must first kill the Prince of Jingyang.
There was murderous intent in Concubine Ye's eyes.
Empress Xu hurriedly left, and the Emperor was no longer in the mood to continue celebrating the Lantern Festival. He was about to leave when another eunuch ran over and said, "Noble Concubine Ye! It's bad! The Prince of Changping was fighting with the Prince of Wuding in Zuixian Tower, and accidentally threw the Prince of Xiping, who was trying to stop the fight, down the stairs. The Prince of Xiping is dead, dead..."
Concubine Ye stood up in shock.
The wife of Marquis Xiping fainted immediately.
