Husband is not good: this concubine and three husbands

Chapter 359 The Death of the Crown Princess

Ning Xiyao left part of the army stationed outside the city, and brought a group of people into the capital with Ning Xixiao.

When they entered the capital, there was no scene of returning from a great victory. I wonder if it was affected by the national mourning, and the whole capital was filled with tension.

Perhaps even ordinary people have noticed that there should be a competition for the new emperor.

Shangguan He followed Ning Xiyao and the others into the city, but when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards at the gate asked the soldiers behind Ning Xiyao not to enter the palace, and Ning Xiyao and Ning Xixiao were not allowed to wear any sharp weapons with them.

As usual, this is indeed a rule in the palace and should be followed, but now that the crown prince is in charge of the palace, if they go in unarmed, can they come back safely?Ning Xiyao immediately refused.

Shangguan He said: "Meng Wang, this is the rule of entering the palace. It was like this when the first emperor was here. Even the prince must abide by it. Do you even have an excuse for this?"

Of course, Ning Xilie was speechless. Ning Xiyao said: "That was when a king of a country sat in the palace, but right now there is no emperor in the palace. As princes, we should protect the peace of the palace. Minister, you They have all brought soldiers in, are we not as good as you?"

"If a veteran enters the palace, he must not bring any sharp weapons, soldiers or guards. The veteran believes that the guards in the palace can protect the safety of the veteran. The three princes should also trust the guards in the palace. The military power of the guards, knowing the abilities of the guards, why don't you feel at ease?"

Ning Xilie said angrily: "You still have the face to say it, half of my guards were taken away by you, how many people in this palace still listen to me? Don't they listen to you?"

Both Ning Xiyao and Ning Xixiao were shocked. The imperial guards in the palace and the soldiers guarding the capital were all managed by the emperor himself. This military power was not handed over to Ning Xilie until Ning Xiyao went out to fight, but Shangguan He actually won half of it so quickly?It can be seen that for a long time before, Shangguan He had already attacked the guards in Jingzhong, and gained half of the people's support.

No wonder Ning Xilie couldn't stop the crown prince's ascension to the throne tomorrow, it's because he didn't have enough troops.

"What King Meng said is wrong. The imperial guards should have supported the emperor. Now that the prince is the new emperor in the future, it is natural to support the prince and protect the safety of the palace. But half of the imperial guards are supporting King Meng. I don't know why. Didn't you get instigated by the king?"

"Father gave me military power just for..."

"Third Brother, it's useless to talk more." Ning Xiyao interrupted Ning Xilie, "Shangguan He, if we insist on bringing troops into the palace, are you going to charge us with a crime of rioting?"

"It turns out that King Min is clear in his heart? In fact, the old officials don't want to bring such a bad reputation to King Min. It's just that bringing troops into the palace is like rebellion. It's just that the old officials want to take sides, but so many eyes are watching, the common people's I will also think in my heart, the old minister really can't take sides."

"Emperor Father didn't make an order to let anyone succeed, but you said we rebelled? Shouldn't you sort out the order of things?"

"The prince was conferred by the former emperor. The position of the prince was meant to be the crown prince. The future emperor, isn't the former emperor's meaning obvious enough?"

Even before Ning Xiyao went out to fight, the emperor did not withdraw the title of prince, for some reason.That's why Shangguan He came up with such a reasonable statement.

Ning Xixiao took a step forward and said, "Why don't I go in and meet the eldest brother alone, I don't bring any soldiers or sharp weapons, it's alright, right?"

Shangguan smiled and said: "The old minister said just now that the three princes can go in without sharp weapons or soldiers. King Ling can do it, so naturally no one dares to stop him."

Ning Xixiao said to Ning Xiyao: "Second brother, let me go in and see elder brother first, you are guarding outside the palace."

"Fourth brother, I know that you and the prince are on better terms, but today is not what it used to be. If you go alone, I'm afraid..."

"Second brother, don't worry. I still understand the big brother's disposition. Even if I had an accident, it was instigated by someone close to the big brother." Ning Xixiao glanced at Shangguan He and said, "You guys wait outside. Now, if you hear any unexpected news about me, take all the soldiers to rescue me."

Ning Xiyao agreed, and Jinyan followed them into the palace all the time, standing behind them.She also felt unsafe when she heard that Ning Xixiao entered the palace without any weapons or soldiers to meet the prince.

She said: "Since the crown prince lives in the palace, the crown princess must also live in the harem. I haven't seen the crown princess for a long time, so let me go in and meet the crown princess." She thought that if something happened, she would You can also ask the princess for help.

Shangguan He's face darkened, and Ning Xilie reminded: "Second Sister-in-law, you just rushed back, and you still don't know anything. The Crown Princess passed away a few days ago."

"What?!" Jin Yan was shocked, and asked with wide eyes, "You mean... the Crown Princess... how could she die? Could it be another dystocia? What about the child?"

Ning Xixiao and Ning Xiyao were also shocked.

Ning Xilie looked at Shangguan He, and then replied: "I don't know that well, the crown prince said it was a dystocia, and both adults and children have gone."

Shangguan He narrowed his eyes slightly, putting away the pain in his eyes.

"I want to see the princess! Even if it's just a corpse..."

Jin Yan could sense that Ning Xilie's words were concealed. He clearly glanced at Shangguan He before he said it. Could it be that he was hindering Shangguan He's presence, so he said that?

The Crown Princess is gone, and Shangguan He's position is likely to change with the new Crown Princess being selected. Why is the Crown Prince still at the mercy of Shangguan He?

"The little girl's body has already sparked, and the old minister is also very sad about it. The crown princess and the little prince are all... Thank you, Princess Jin, for still remembering the crown princess, but it's a pity that I couldn't see her for the last time."

The Crown Princess has always been a victim of Shangguan He, what sacrifice is hidden in her death?
In the end, Ning Xixiao and Jinyan entered the palace without any sharp weapons, and Ning Xilie, as the prince who held the military power of the Beijing army, also had legitimate reasons to enter the palace, leaving only Ning Xiyao waiting outside the palace.

Shangguan He took Ning Xixiao to meet the crown prince, while Ning Xilie accompanied Jin Yan to the crown prince's mourning hall.

After parting with Shangguan He, Ning Xilie quietly told Jin Yan: "The crown prince announced that the crown princess died of dystocia. Because it was still in the state mourning period, everyone didn't pay much attention to the crown princess's death. But Lai Xue secretly checked I found out that the princess was actually killed by the prince. After the death of the emperor, the prince was emotionally unstable for a period of time and lost his temper in the palace. It happened that the princess bumped into him when he was in a bad mood. When I got angry, I never recognized anyone, so I kicked the princess in the stomach. The princess is about to give birth. She was kicked so hard, how did she suffer? She left with the child that night. The prince regretted it afterwards, He still needs Shangguan He's help, so he can't offend him, so he pleaded more and promised Shangguan He many benefits, so Shangguan He put aside the matter of the Crown Princess and continued to help the Crown Prince, so that the Crown Prince announced that the Crown Princess died of a sudden dystocia."
