Chapter 201 A Mother's Tears
Princess Jin looked at him: "Because he followed King Jin."
"track?"
"Yes." said Princess Jin, "When the prince was parked in the mourning hall, we were guarding the mourning hall. That night, the two brothers left one after another. After I stayed for a long time, I also got up and walked around, but I saw King Ning coming out of the Eastern Palace with a serious expression.
"I stopped and asked him what was going on? He didn't say anything. When I returned to the mourning hall, I saw that King Ning was already in the mourning hall, and he didn't know when he would come back.
"On the day of the burial, after the ceremony, I stood alone in the wasteland, and King Ning came over and told me that that night he accidentally saw his second brother sneaking into the East Palace alone. He followed him, and then he saw his second brother checking in front of the sickbed where his elder brother was lying.
"Later, King Jin was shocked by the eunuch who came into the palace. After he waited for the others to leave, he found the half of the jade on the bed."
Song Xiang suddenly realized after hearing this.
If this is the case, then the suspicion of King Ning and Princess Jin cannot be said to be unreasonable.
"After the funeral of the prince, I went back to the palace to search carefully, but I couldn't find the piece of jade that should have been on the King of Jin. I was suspicious at that time, but I didn't do anything about it.
"What you said about the choice I faced was a matter of later. After the prince was buried, we stayed in Beijing for a month. During that month, King Ning came to me several times, and every time he looked melancholy.
"Princess Ning told me that he often had nightmares and said that he called 'big brother' in his dreams.
"I know they have a deep brotherly relationship, so I just think that he is unwilling to accept all this. Besides, I had already become a husband and wife with King Jin at that time, and I was wisely begging me to follow his thoughts.
"I advised others not to be resurrected by death, not to think too much, which would hurt the relationship between brothers and feet. He did not argue or say much, and he was still like the obedient child.
"So I didn't make any choice, just pretended that I didn't know how to continue living. Then something happened that changed my mind."
"What happened?"
"There was no news after King Ning returned to Xi'an Prefecture. That year, he suddenly came to me quietly. He disguised himself as a pilgrimage to meet me at the Buddhist temple in the city, and then presented a stack of case files for me to show. It was evidence of some of the behaviors of his second brother's inconsistent manner.
"Strictly speaking, he did something that violated the king's law. Although the crime was not particularly serious, if the emperor knew it, he would definitely be punished with great slight punishment.
"Of course, once the crime is sued, I and my children will inevitably be affected. Even if I do not go to prison or demote, I will become embarrassed just by losing this favor.
"King Ning could have sent it directly into the palace, but he and King Jin were brothers and sisters. Without the evidence that the second brother had plotted to murder his elder brother, he obviously couldn't do anything like this.
"That evidence is among us, and no one has put him in the matter of the prince, but it is enough to show that his second brother, my husband, is not as gentle as he appears to be, but a person with different opinions.
"A person like him faced the sick prince in the East Palace and broke a piece of jade. The truth behind it will definitely not be very comfortable.
"I recognized this possibility in my heart. But I still did not admit that the death of the prince was related to him. I refused to believe it, nor could I believe it.
"After seeing him off, I took Yang'er to set up the Kongming lantern in the temple.
"Will everything look normal when I get here? But the next day I went home and I went back to my room to make up for my sleep, and was awakened by Yang'er who rushed in halfway."
Yang'er is the princess's child who died young. Lu Zhan couldn't help but stand up.
"He had a panic on his face, and he gasped and told me that he had seen a ghost. How could there be ghosts in broad daylight? And a person who is only five years old knows what ghosts are?
"But after he said this, his eyes were straight and his whole body was trembling. He hugged me and refused to let go. My sleepiness was scared in an instant. While calling someone, he asked him what he saw. No matter how he spoke, he said to his father and the prince.
"He came in in a panic halfway through this. I hugged Yang'er for a night, and he started to have a high fever in the middle of the night, and then he couldn't get sick. A few days later, my Yang'er disappeared."
"...Mother means, brother, his death was also murdered?"
"No matter whether it is or not, just the few words he shouted at before he started to get sick, and I must figure out everything! I have to let my child rest in peace!"
Lu Zhan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If all this was done by King Jin, wouldn’t he become a devil?
My own brother, my eldest son, and my own younger brother...
"I was almost rushing over and asked him how many people's blood were stained on his hands, but Ying Niang and the others pressed me down.
"I calmed down and understood that if Yang'er was really dead at his hands, then I would ask him, can I find out the result? Although I have the support of the Yang family, can I be stronger than him? Even if I sued the palace without evidence, would the emperor kill his son because he died?
"Not even! And when I get there, I will not have any room for recovery! My son may die at the hands of my husband, but I don't have a good way to deal with him!
"So I can only suppress this hatred until everyone thinks I don't even doubt that Yang'er's death is strange!"
When the princess said this, the grief in her heart surged up uncontrollably, and tears fell heavily, turning a shrewd and strong princess in the eyes of the world into a weak and painful mother.
Song Xiang couldn't help but stroke her hand on her shoulder. She was also the mother of two children. Who can understand this kind of pain better than her?
After a moment, the princess took a breath and looked up: "Yang'er, a five-year-old child, will have such a mutation. It must be no accident. He is such a young man, and he has never seen his uncle a few times. He can't talk about him suddenly. He must have knocked him out of something to end up like this!
"And if he was silenced, wouldn't the prince's death be even more suspicious? I don't believe it. If the prince's death is also his share, the emperor will not be able to deal with him!"
A mother's distress resounded in the room, and the sadness in Song Xiang's heart was also flowing.
If everything was done by King Jin, then killing Lu Zhan, who was not his biological son, would be nothing to him.
Why is he?
"But I didn't expect that before the prince's affairs were found out, something happened to Prince Ning's mansion."
Princess Jin stopped being sad and said in a suffocating manner, "After your father came that time, he never came, and he might not have any hope for me anymore. I had to tell them Yang'er's death in a letter, and then Princess Ning tried to tell me about his movements.
