Chapter 225 Really Dead
Chapter 225 Really Dead
Early in the morning, Yongheng hurried into the palace.
"The Forens burned to death yesterday."
Yongheng's entrance was a huge move that shocked the world.
The food that the old lady had brought to her mouth was dropped by her because of his fright.
Seeing this, Nanny Fang hurriedly helped the old lady clean up.
Seeing that the old lady had put down her chopsticks, Jing Yan and the other two who had been having breakfast with her also put down their chopsticks silently and sat up straight.
But after all, the news of Fulun's family's death was too shocking, and the old lady didn't bother to lecture Yongheng anymore. She just said, "Explain it clearly."
No matter what, Fu Lun was once a scholar of Fu University. Even though he was a smooth-talking person, he had many political enemies in the court. After he was dismissed from office, his former political enemies did a lot of things to trip him up and secretly support him, but no one wanted to kill him.
There was no other reason. It was just that the mistake they had made this time was difficult to recover from. Living would be torture for him, and everyone was happy to watch the fun.
Therefore, the absurd incident that an inexplicable fire took the lives of their family spread throughout the capital like wings.
Everyone laughed at Fulun, but they didn't expect him to be so disappointing.
Some even speculated that Forlan could not bear the gap and committed suicide with his wife and children. Some even suspected that Falcon went crazy and killed Forlan and his wife.
After all, everyone knows about Falcon's "madness".
Naturally, this news also reached Fu Heng's ears.
Fu Heng was a smart man, so he naturally wouldn't think it was suicide.
So Fu Heng and Prince Guo went into the palace early in the morning.
Yongheng, who likes to watch the fun, rushed to the Cining Palace to report the news.
"Yesterday, a fire in West Market burned down a family of three. The Dali Temple investigated and found out it was the Fulun family."
Jingyan was a little shocked, "Is he really dead?"
Isn't it said that the harm will last for a thousand years? One hundred and eighty lashes didn't kill the man, so what's going on now?
"The coroner has examined the body and confirmed it is these three."
It's difficult for the coroner. The body has been burned to charcoal, and he still has to figure out who it is.
Thinking of this, Qing'er felt a little nauseous. She quietly looked up at the others. Except for Jingyan and Yongheng, the curious brother and sister who were asking each other questions, the others also looked a little unhappy.
This breakfast is no longer available.
The old lady waved her hand and asked people to leave.
Yongheng fully utilized his gossipy potential and vividly described the situation when they were discovered, until Jingyan couldn't help but raised his hand to interrupt.
"Brother, stop talking. I'm going to vomit."
Yongheng shut up obediently, but the old lady thought more deeply about it.
She did not forget that Ziwei had been leaving the palace frequently in recent days.
Both the Empress Dowager and the Queen knew that Concubine Ling helped Ziwei leave the palace.
After all, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager turning a blind eye, how could Concubine Ling have done it with her ability?
But thinking that Ziwei often sneaked out, and the other princesses and ladies were relatively free to leave the palace, it would not be good to restrict Ziwei too much, so he agreed.
How could it be such a coincidence that Ziwei just went out yesterday and Fulun's family happened to be murdered yesterday?
Yes, they were murdered. The old lady did not think that the Forlan family was of such a character that they could commit suicide. If they committed suicide out of fear of punishment, they should have died long ago and would not have waited until now.
In addition, Jingyan and Qing'er had previously told the old lady about Ziwei and Fu Erkang.
But it was Concubine Ling who helped her leave the palace. I wonder how this matter is related to Concubine Ling.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more she felt that it had something to do with Ziwei. Although this girl behaved well when she came to pay her respects, the old lady could sense her ambition.
It is not a bad thing to be ambitious in this palace, and it is not a bad thing to have small thoughts, but if it is too much, it will be bad.
Seeing the children still discussing curiously, the old lady's heart sank. If it was really Ziwei who did it...
If we don't guide them, there will be endless troubles.
"What does the Emperor say about this?"
"Old Buddha, your grandson doesn't know either. Father and Uncle Fu Liu are still discussing it with Uncle Huang."
The old lady nodded, thinking that this matter would not cause any big trouble, but she still had to ask about Ziwei.
"You kids, go out and play. I need to rest for a while."
After the few people left, the old Buddha said with a gloomy face: "Go and invite Princess Huanzhu."
Nanny Fang had just listened to the whole process with the Empress Dowager. She probably guessed that the Empress Dowager suspected that Princess Huanzhu was involved in this matter. She did not dare to delay and hurried to ask for help.
When Ziwei from Shufangzhai was summoned, her heart suddenly tightened.
Jinsuo's psychological quality was obviously not as good as Ziwei's. He was frightened and wanted to say something, but was frightened by Ziwei's glare.
Ziwei looked at Jinsuo's useless appearance and decided to make trouble for her even if there was nothing wrong.
After returning yesterday, Ziwei told her to forget about it, but it's not something that can be forgotten just like that.
Nanny Fang keenly sensed the trickery between the master and servant and said with a smile, "Princess Huanzhu, shall we go?"
Ziwei stood up and followed them out. Jinsuo tremblingly sent them to the door, watched them leave, and silently prayed for his own princess.
But don't get discovered.
Before she could finish her prayer, someone covered her mouth and dragged her away.
The four talented scholars and Mingyue Caixia who witnessed everything in the courtyard looked at each other in surprise.
After a long while, the little table asked tremblingly, "Is Gege really okay?"
They were in Shufangzhai and had no way of knowing the news outside the palace, and they were not aware of the death of the Fulun family.
But even if you are ignorant, you can tell what the princess did, mainly because Jinsuo's performance was too obvious.
But now they have long returned to the state they were in before Xiaoyanzi entered the palace. Even if they are worried, they can only do what they should do. After all, it is the master's business, and they have no right to interfere.
Jingyan and his companions were driven out of the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager in a confused manner, and they were still a little dazed.
"Mr. Lafayette seemed to be in a bad mood just now."
Jingyan looked at Xinrong helplessly, "Of course, she won't be happy about the death of someone."
But she was still quite curious about the trick.
Just before leaving, she made a special plan and left the palace maid Si'er in the Cining Palace as her spy. She would ask the Empress Dowager who she wanted to see when she returned to the palace.
Xinrong didn't know this Lord Fu, and she didn't care much about whether her family lived or died. Now that she was out, Xinrong planned to go to Yonghe Palace and cultivate her relationship with Concubine Yu Yongqi.
After seeing Xinrong off, Jingyan and Qing'er Yongheng went to the Imperial Garden and found a small pavilion to sit down.
"Do you think this is not a simple matter?"
Seeing Jingyan and Qing'er nodding in agreement, Yongheng was quite proud: "I knew it was a vendetta the moment I heard it. Unfortunately, my father meant that this matter would not be made too public."
This matter will certainly be handed over to the Dali Temple for handling. If nothing is found, it will be considered an accident.
They guessed correctly. After listening to Fu Heng's report, the emperor was quite indifferent.
"Then let the Dali Temple investigate."
Seeing that the emperor didn't care, Fuheng and Prince Guo didn't take the matter too seriously either.
It’s just that the emperor is too busy with his daily affairs to know the ins and outs of it, but Empress Dowager has seen a lot.
