Chapter 231 The body was sent to King An
Xie Run: "It seems that the prince's crime is not serious. The emperor can just reprimand him with a few words and it will be over."
Xiao Shu and Dan Tao looked at each other, "Master, is this really the case?"
There has been a lot of discussion outside recently, and the emperor was angry and reprimanded. Is this not a big deal?
Xie Run smiled and said, "That's it."
King Jing made a mistake, and King An and his mother were punished... It's really interesting.
Xie Run didn't believe at all that Prince An and his son were punished because Prince An failed to find out the real murderer of Concubine Chen.
After all, if the punishment is not imposed earlier or later, but at this time, it has great significance.
Xie Run shook his head and smiled.
They all underestimated King Jing.
I'm afraid everything that happened during this period was within King Jing's expectations.
Xie Run was curious. Did King Jing already anticipate Concubine Rou's gift of a palace maid?
Just as Xie Run was about to go to sleep, he heard Taotao crying from next door.
Xie Run raised his hand to his forehead, "What happened?"
"The young master refused to sleep and insisted on playing..."
Xie Run: “…”
This son has great physical strength.
Whose one-year-old keeps fussing about going outside to play and refuses to go to bed?!
Xie Run: "Can't you even coax her?"
Dan Tao whispered, "Should I go and take a look?"
"Go ahead. If you really can't coax me... I'll go again."
Xie Run is not a kind mother. She will beat people if she gets angry.
It had been almost a cup of tea since Dan Tao left, and Xie Run didn't hear any crying. He thought Tao Tao had finally fallen asleep. Just as he was about to lie down, he heard a clear cry.
Xie Run: “…”
She lifted the quilt with a headache, "How can you still have so much energy when you're not sleeping at night?"
Xiao Shu followed behind, "Master, the room is cold, please put on a coat before you go out!"
Xie Run walked to the next room wearing his undershirt and was looking at his son grinning without a trace of tears on his face.
Xiao Shu came over and put a coat on her, and only then did Xie Run feel cold.
Dan Tao said helplessly, "When this servant was coaxing the young master, he was fine, but as soon as he was put to bed, he started crying..."
Xie Run snorted, "He did it on purpose!"
"This kid just wants someone to play with him. He knows you're spoiling him, and he's pretending to cry!"
Taotao doesn't cry easily, but when she does, it's like the sky is falling and the earth is cracking.
He howled at the top of his lungs, but it was just fake crying!
Xie Run stepped forward: "Dan Tao, you and Xiao Shu step back, I'll come and comfort him!"
The two girls were very indulgent towards Tao Tao, and if they saw Xie Run being a vicious person, they would definitely stop him.
After sending the people away, Xie Run looked at Tao Tao with a smile, "I'll play with you for a cup of tea, and then go to bed immediately!"
"If you don't sleep, I'll spank you!"
Taotao looked at Xie Run with his big eyes like black grapes, smiling and shaking a small toy in his hand.
Half an hour later, the mother and son stared at each other.
Xie Run's eyelids were twitching, and the little bastard was laughing constantly, looking very energetic.
Since coming to ancient times, Xie Run has always maintained a healthy lifestyle. Except for occasionally fighting with King Jing's demon and going to bed late, he almost never stays up late.
This time, thanks to her own son, she stayed up all night.
It took me two days to coax this little ancestor to sleep.
Xie Run lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately, but he was woken up before he had slept for long.
Xie Run looked outside and saw that it was still dark.
Dan Tao rolled up the curtain beside her, "Master, the prince is back."
Xie Run didn't react for a moment, and just responded: "Yeah."
Dan Tao reminded her, "My Lord, the prince was punished by the Emperor to reflect on his mistakes in the palace for one night yesterday. The masters in the mansion were extremely worried. Now that they heard that the prince has returned, they are probably already heading to Qingsong Courtyard."
"You have to go."
Xie Run was slow to react for half a second. Dan Tao was reminding her to go and see King Jing as soon as possible to make her presence felt.
By the way, express your concern for King Jing.
Xie Run nodded and said weakly, "Help me change my clothes."
After getting out of bed, she went to the next room and saw Taotao sleeping soundly with his legs spread out.
Xie Run gritted his teeth: "This little bastard!"
If he wasn't her biological son, she would definitely wake him up and get up early with him!
Who allowed him to sleep so soundly? !
Xie Run put on her makeup in a daze and rushed to Qingsongyuan.
It was indeed as Dan Tao said. Almost all the female relatives who could come to the backyard had arrived, and they all greeted King Jing with worried looks on their faces.
Xie Run arrived late, and Concubine Hua asked him indifferently, "Did Sister Xie sleep well?"
Xie Run glanced at Concubine Hua and said, "Concubine Hua doesn't look dark at all. She seems to be sleeping well."
Hua Yu instantly raised her head and subconsciously explained, "I stayed up half the night last night, worrying about the prince the whole time. How could I have slept well?"
"I don't have any blackheads, it's just that my skin is pale, so it's not noticeable!"
She was afraid that if she explained too slowly, King Jing would misunderstand her.
As soon as he looked up and saw the dark circles under Xie Run's eyes, he didn't dare to say anything.
When dressing up Xie Run today, Dan Tao and Xiao Shu were both careful. Not only did they not use powder to cover up Xie Run's dark circles, they also deliberately made the dark circles under her eyes more obvious.
Because Xie Runfu's skin was as white as porcelain jade, a hint of dark blue could be seen from under the skin, and the bags under the eyes were visible.
It looked like he had been alive all night.
In the backyard, Fang Yuan'er and Concubine Jiang were both under house arrest, and only Concubine Hua, who was so tactless, dared to speak to Xie Run in a sarcastic way.
Everyone else sat quietly where they were, not daring to say much.
King Jing was quite surprised when he suddenly saw Xie Run's tired and dark eyes, and his heart was slightly moved.
He tried to comfort Xie Run: "I'm sorry for making you worry last night. You've always been calm and composed, rarely panicking like this..."
Looking at Xie Run's tired face, King Jing felt a rare bit of pity.
Xie Run smiled and explained softly, "...Tao Tao was making a fuss last night, so I stayed up a while to appease him."
King Jing had an expression that said, "I understand." "Since that's the case, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Xie Run: “…”
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
Concubine Hua stared at Xie Run secretly from the side, twisting her handkerchief with a feeling of grievance.
She stayed up all night last night, but it didn't show on her face. What else could she do?!
King Jing responded to each of them with a few words and then sent them away one by one, fearing that too many people staying in Qingsong Court would disturb the princess.
Xie Run also took the opportunity to look at the princess, only to find that her complexion was even worse than the previous two days.
Ectopic pregnancy, the longer the pregnancy lasts, the more dangerous it is.
After giving a few instructions, Xie Run returned to Chunshan Courtyard.
On the way, Chunjuan hurriedly delivered the news: "Master, as soon as the prince returned, he had the body of the palace maid put into a coffin and sent to Prince An's mansion."
Xie Run was shocked, "Sent to Prince An's Mansion?!"
Could it be that the child the maid was carrying was Prince An's? And that Prince An was the one who had her murdered?!
If that's the case, it can be explained.
Prince An slept with Concubine Rou's maid, who became pregnant and was then given to Prince Jing by chance.
It is natural that King Jing would not wear this green hat. If they investigate and find out that King An is the one, it will be a ready-made handle.
Therefore, King An took the initiative and killed the palace maid, and then sent people to spread rumors and throw all the dirty water on King Jing!
For the past three days, King Jing allowed the outside world to talk about it, and only exposed it yesterday.
Xie Run murmured softly, "No wonder the prince knew what was going on. He ordered her body to be preserved early in the morning, just for today."
I'm afraid the emperor suddenly reprimanded Prince An and demoted Concubine Jing because of this matter.
The so-called failure to find the murderer of Concubine Chen was an excuse from the beginning to the end.
