Chapter 252
Fu Lingtian and Luo Qingchen left Xiangyun Palace and hurried to the banquet.

Luo Qingchen went to Concubine Jia's side, while Fu Lingtian returned to the seat below, and while greeting people, he went over the crowd to look at Luo Qingchen from time to time.

Concubine Jia was like the brightest star in the sky tonight, wearing a golden dress, she had reached the pinnacle of her life at this time, shining brilliantly.

Good wine, laughter, silk and bamboo singing and dancing, the night never feels late.

"Concubine Ai, you just gave birth, so don't work too hard. Now that the cold is getting worse, go back and rest first, and take care of Tianyuan." Luo Xiuyuan said tenderly.

Immediately, he got up and announced: "The number of heirs in the palace is thin. Since the king came to the throne, he has only been from the prince's lineage. Now that the concubine Jia has given birth to a dragon son, it is really a blessing for Tianqiong. The former prince has failed the king's expectations, and his conduct is not good. Was abolished. The position of the crown prince cannot be emptied, this king thinks twice..."

Concubine Jia clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves excitedly, Luo Xiuyuan was going to fulfill her promise to make the little prince the crown prince.

But at this exciting time, a maid from Xiangyun Palace stumbled over and shouted without caring: "Ma'am, no, it's not good, something happened to the little prince."

Concubine Jia stood up in shock, her face paled and she said, "What?"

Luo Xiuyuan also said sharply: "What happened, tell me clearly!"

The maid fell to her knees with a plop, and said tremblingly: "Little, little prince, no, I'm out of breath."

"What did you say? On a happy day, you're going to kill yourself by spreading rumors for no reason?" Luo Qingchen said angrily.

The palace maid panicked and said: "This servant did not lie, I don't know what happened, the little prince just lost his temper."

The whole audience was shocked, Concubine Jia's eyes turned red, she grabbed Luo Xiuyuan's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "No, Your Majesty, before the concubine came, the little prince was still lively and cute as usual, no, no..."

"Your Majesty, no matter what is going on with the little prince, please quickly find out the truth." The ministers suggested.

Luo Xiuyuan immediately decided to take Concubine Jia to Xiangyun Palace to see what was going on.

Before Luo Qingchen left, she saw Fu Lingtian standing under the steps and looking up at her, her eyes were full of worry.

As the female official next to Concubine Jia, she was the one who arranged for the little prince to go to bed just now. If something happens to the little prince, Luo Qingchen will be the first to be implicated.

Luo Qingchen showed a comforting smile to Fu Lingtian, and hurriedly followed Concubine Jia and the others to leave.

Along the way, Concubine Jia cried in Luo Xiuyuan's arms.

As soon as she entered Xiangyun Palace, seeing all the court ladies kneeling on the ground tremblingly, Concubine Jia's feet went limp.Along the way, she could still fantasize that it was the maid who made a mistake, leaving her last hope. Looking at the situation, the little prince was in danger.

She pushed Luo Xiuyuan away, staggered towards the bed, Luo Qingchen hurriedly followed, only to hear Concubine Jia burst into tears, calling out: "My son." Then she passed out.

"Hurry up, help the empress to rest, and ask the imperial doctor to treat the empress and the little prince." Luo Qingchen ordered, and the entire Xiangyun Palace was in chaos.

The imperial doctor arrived, diagnosed and treated Concubine Jia, and tried to save the little prince.

Concubine Jia was just overly sad, she would wake up after a good rest, but the little prince had already lost his breath, and the result of the diagnosis and treatment was that the little prince was poisoned.

Luo Xiuyuan was furious: "How could the little prince be poisoned? There are so many people in Xiangyun Palace, are they all wood? Let me find out who it is, who dared to harm my child! To be buried with the little prince!"

The ladies-in-waiting, terrified, denounced each other, trying desperately to recall who had behaved suspiciously, who had last touched the little prince.

"The servant is in charge of sweeping and sweeping outside the hall. She took a break early, and just came here when she found out that something happened to the little prince. It really has nothing to do with the servant."

"The servant is on the night shift. At that time, the servant was the same as usual, checking if the little prince was sleeping well, and felt that the little prince's face was not right, so when he touched it, the little prince was already out of breath. It wasn't the servant, no."

"After Mrs. Fu left, the little prince has been sleeping peacefully without any movement. The servants didn't dare to disturb him, and they never went there. They just watched from a distance that the little prince was fine. How could he be poisoned?"

"Yes, in the end, Mrs. Fu hugged the little prince for a long time before leaving. She was the one who put the little prince to sleep. No one has hugged the little prince since then."

The little prince's nanny even cried with snot and tears, rambling about the fact that Fu Lingtian had also been here.

Gradually, all targets pointed at Luo Qingchen.

Luo Qingchen also showed a look of unbearable expression, she kept looking at the little swaddling baby on the bed, and stood quietly aside.

She knew that those maids were just trying to save their lives. Although what they said was a bit exaggerated, it was true that she was so close to the little prince in the end, and she was the most suspected of poisoning.

Luo Xiuyuan said sharply, "Young Madam Fu, what can you explain?"

Luo Qingchen knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine Jia was about to go to the banquet at that time, and the little prince was spitting up a lot of milk. The officials are usually close to the little prince, so they took the initiative to ask to stay and take care of the little prince. Cheng is deliberate, please ask the king to think about what is the motive for the next official?"

Those maids unanimously affirmed that Luo Qingchen loves the little prince very much at ordinary times, he is no worse than Concubine Jia, and Luo Qingchen, as the young lady of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, is as powerful and rich as she is, and will not be bribed for revenge or anything Yes, there is really no reason to kill the little prince.

Luo Xiuyuan gave birth to another son with great difficulty, and it was too late to be happy. He gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had nowhere to vent.

Although Luo Qingchen was suspected, he couldn't find the motive, so he couldn't be convicted.Luo Xiuyuan ordered all the people in Xiangyun Palace to be arrested and imprisoned. After all, the death of the little prince was a fact, and each person was beaten with thirty sticks as a punishment.

The people at the banquet did not dare to leave because of such a major event in the palace. When the news came, Fu Lingtian immediately became anxious and asked to see Luo Xiuyuan.

"My lords, this is the end of today's banquet. Let's leave first. Your Majesty is in unbearable grief, and it will be canceled tomorrow morning." After the eunuch read out the decree, he reminded Fu Lingtian in a low voice: "Young General Fu, your Majesty is furious. The evidence is extremely unfavorable to the young lady. If you go, I am afraid that you will only suffer for nothing and cannot save anyone. It is better to wait for the king to calm down and let Zhen Guogong come forward to ask for someone. Maybe the king will still Show me some sympathy."

Fu Lingtian clenched his fists tightly: "No matter what, I must see my wife and see how she is, so that I can feel at ease."

The eunuch said: "Now everyone is eager to get rid of this matter. The king forbids anyone to get close to those people in the Xiangyun Palace. If you want to forcefully go to see the young lady... Tell the truth..."

Fu Lingtian usually gave these people a lot of benefits, so the eunuch was also selling his favor, and told him in a low voice that the nanny mentioned that Fu Lingtian had also been to Xiangyun Palace.

But when Luo Qingchen tried his best to argue that Fu Lingtian was just urging her, he kept standing away from the little prince, without even looking at the little prince. That's why I didn't trouble Fu Lingtian for the time being.

Fu Lingtian left the palace in a daze, looked back at the resplendent and cold place, and gritted his teeth.

Luo Qingchen couldn't protect herself, and she had to try her best to protect him, and he couldn't be impulsive or impulsive.

He didn't know whether it was an accident or someone framed Luo Qingchen. The only one who could save Luo Qingchen was the Duke of Zhenguo. He couldn't get involved, so he could save Luo Qingchen.

He was very unwilling in his heart, worried that Luo Qingchen would not be able to stand the punishment, and worried that the person who framed her would have another trick to put her to death, but Fu Lingtian had to leave, he had to find a way to rescue Luo Qingchen as soon as possible.

Flying back home, Fu Lingtian told Fu Tao about the full moon banquet.

At that time, Fu Tao had already rested. Hearing that something happened to Luo Qingchen, he got up and dressed while asking: "Why is this happening? How is Qingchen now?"

Fu Lingtian said sadly: "It's very bad. Because the murderer was not found, all the people in the Xiangyun Palace were tortured with the cane, and Qingchen was the last person who hugged the little prince. She is the most suspected."

Fu Tao went out and said: "You must not act rashly, I will go to the palace to see the king."

Fu Lingtian stopped Fu Tao and said: "Father, you can't. You said you were sick and couldn't go to court, and you didn't even attend the full moon banquet. Because of Qingchen's affairs, those people with ulterior motives will inevitably provoke the king. The king also knows in his heart that father is not The reason for going to court is just because our Fu family has just made a great contribution, he is not easy to turn his face, so he has to pretend to be confused. If father goes away, if he makes use of the problem, not only will he not be able to save Qingchen, but I am afraid that the government of Zhenguo will also be implicated. Then there will be no one to save us."

Fu Tao pondered for a moment: "Father didn't think about this, so he kept a low profile for so many years, just because he didn't want to be suspected by the king. It's just that Qingchen's life is in danger right now, so I can't control so much, saving people is the most important thing."

After that, Fu Tao was about to take another step, Fu Lingtian suddenly took a step forward, and knelt down in front of Fu Tao: "Father, I came to you, not to ask Dad to take risks to save Qingchen."

Fu Tao was surprised, he couldn't figure out what Fu Lingtian was going to do.

"How can I save Qingchen if I don't go to see the king? Do you have any solution? Get up first and then talk." Fu Tao didn't pull Fu Lingtian.

Fu Lingtian raised his head and said with complicated eyes: "Father, during those years when I was living outside, I always thought in my heart that if I come back one day, I must seek justice from my father. Ask why he betrayed my mother and why he had the heart to abandon me. Regardless, I even decided not to recognize my father anymore, even if I was scolded for being disobedient and unfilial, it doesn’t matter. But now I know my father’s involuntary difficulties back then. With Chen by my side, I realized that even if two people are deeply affectionate, there are many things that are beyond our control. I thought I could be filial to my parents with Qingchen, but I never expected such a thing to happen. There are few people in this mansion. It doesn't matter if I leave, but I can't live without dad."
