The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

In that room, the second prince asked his wife what happened at the banquet.

The second princess replied: "It's nothing special, but I met Madam Changxing Hou and had contact with her."

As soon as he said this, the second prince sat up straight and asked, "How?"

The second princess shook her head slightly and said truthfully: "Mrs. Gu seems to be approachable and easy to get along with. In fact, she is not. She is always polite and distant, but she is hard to fault. She is smart and cautious. She uses Tai Chi skills. Wow, it’s completely different from what I expected.”

Hearing this, the second prince frowned slightly, with a look of displeasure on his handsome face, and then sneered: "The same goes for Marquis Changxing, the temperaments of their husband and wife are quite similar."

The second prince's concubine sighed softly and said regretfully: "The Marquis of Changxing is a minister that my father values, but we are afraid that we won't be able to win over the Marquis of Changxing."

The second prince frowned even more tightly and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter whether he can be won over, as long as he is not won over by my brothers."

The second princess nodded slightly in agreement.

The second prince played with the jade pendant on his waist, half-squinted his eyes, and said in a faint tone: "The imperial doctor said that the eldest brother probably won't survive the New Year's Eve."

The second prince's concubine glanced at her husband and said: "The sixth brother is also the legitimate son and is very popular with the father. If the eldest brother is gone, the father will definitely make the sixth brother the crown prince."

Hearing this, the second prince's face stiffened slightly. According to the regulations of the Zhao Kingdom, there are direct descendants and no direct descendants. As long as there is a legitimate eldest son, it is not the concubine's turn to be the crown prince. Unless the legitimate son has no virtue and incompetence, then the legitimate descendants will be abolished. . But there are not many princes who can successfully ascend the throne since ancient times. Even his grandfather was not a prince at that time, but he became the lord of the world.

The second princess knew her husband's ambition. In fact, not only her husband, but other princes also coveted that position. Unless they were like the third brother, who had mediocre qualifications and an ordinary family background, or like the fourth brother, who couldn't live without medicine and would die. A diseased seedling that cannot survive, otherwise, who would be willing to do so without fighting?

The next day.

Meng Jinyao asked Chunliu to take charge of the porridge soup. Chunliu was calm and smart. She felt relieved to leave it to Chunliu. She also sent Ningdong to assist. She followed Chunliu's command and learned and practiced with Chunliu.

In addition to them, some of the maids, mothers-in-law, and servants in the mansion also participated in this matter.

When Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen learned that she was going to give porridge in the city, they approached her and said they wanted to participate, and Meng Jinyao also agreed.

To this end, the Zhang family and the Chen family each sent a capable maid to help, and the money was also donated according to their own conditions. By helping others, they could also earn a good reputation.

Several daughters-in-law of the Marquis of Changxing were serving porridge in the city, helping beggars and some poor families who were starving in the city. The news spread quickly. Madams from other families also sent people to set up sheds to serve porridge, and wealthy businessmen in the city also participated. Among them, they want to earn a reputation for being kind and charitable, but the money they pay for giving out porridge is not much for them anyway.

With their help, the beggars in the city also see hope of living. In winter, it is freezing and it is difficult for them to beg for food. They also have to resist the severe cold. If they don’t have anything to eat, they will die of cold and hunger. If they have something to fill their stomachs, You can also think of ways to stay warm to survive this winter, so that when spring comes next year, the weather will warm up.

It’s the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the New Year is only half a month away.

At night, the white jade plate was hung high in the sky, but the weather was very cold and few people would admire the moon, so everyone took a rest early.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi were no exception. They undressed and went to bed at 2:00 am.

It had been peaceful in the first half of the night, but at the third watch in the second half of the night, a dull bell suddenly came from the direction of the palace, waking everyone up from their sleep.

Gu Jingxi, who was sleeping lightly, woke up instantly.

Meng Jinyao also opened her eyes in a daze, feeling a little confused.

Soon, the second bell sounded, and Meng Jinyao lost all sleep and was shocked: "Husband, this, is this the death knell?"

Gu Jingxi gave a soft "hmm" and sat up. Listening to the dull and desolate bells, he frowned and his face became heavier. When the bells stopped, he immediately got out of bed and got dressed.

It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness has passed away.

Meng Jinyao's face was also extremely heavy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated last month and fell into a coma. When he woke up later, the poison invaded his lungs and he could die at any time. He had been relying on medicine to hang on to his life these days, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't survive. spend this year.

Gu Jingxi dressed neatly, washed up and went out.

And Meng Jinyao had no intention of continuing to sleep, feeling sorry for the passing away of the prince. His Royal Highness was a virtuous prince with a high reputation in the court, but he died like this.

After dawn, Meng Jinyao got up and deliberately put on relatively plain clothes. Not only she, but also other people in the mansion did not dare to dress up at this time, otherwise the Changxing Marquis Mansion would be devastated by ginseng.

Mrs. Zhang whispered to her two sisters-in-law: "Someone had previously reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might not survive next year. I thought it was a rumor at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Chen said regretfully: "His Royal Highness is the best among the princes. I heard that he is also the most like the emperor, both in appearance and behavior."

Mrs. Zhang sighed softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away and the Emperor appointed a new Crown Prince, the Crown Princess will be in an embarrassing situation."

Mrs. Chen replied: "It's not only embarrassing? It's also very pitiful. She has been widowed before she was even twenty years old. As a princess, she is not allowed to remarry. She has to keep the prince's integrity for the rest of her life."

After saying this, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang both sighed.

Meng Jinyao did not interrupt. She was worried about her husband. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated. The Emperor ordered the Punishment Department and Dali Temple to investigate the matter together, but nothing was found. It was fine when His Highness the Crown Prince was still alive. Now His Royal Highness is dead, and no one knows. Will the emperor be angry with her husband?

Mrs. Zhang looked at her frowning and worried look, and felt a little baffled. It was the princess who lost her husband and was going to be a widow, but it wasn't her who was going to be a widow. Why did she look like this?

However, Mrs. Zhang was thoughtful and thought that she was sentimental after being pregnant. She thought that she would also be sad when she was pregnant, so she comforted her and said: "Third brother and sister, that is a royal matter and has nothing to do with us. Your Majesty." The prince doesn’t just have a son, and a new crown prince will be established soon. Although the prince is pitiful, she still has a son, and she has hope for the rest of her life."

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and said softly: "His Royal Highness was assassinated, and the truth has not yet been found out. The Marquis is one of the officials responsible for investigating the case."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang and Chen's expressions changed and they both became nervous. Even though it was the third brother's business, they also understood that only when the third brother was well could they benefit. If the third brother lost his Sacred Heart and was angered by the emperor, Their main and second bedrooms will be affected.

As a family, you can have fun at home, and you can make fun of each other, but when something big happens, both will be prosperous and both will suffer, and you need to unite as one.

Dear friends, I'm really sorry that I stopped updating for a few days because I was too busy during the New Year. Either my relatives came to my home to greet guests, or I had to follow my elders to go to my relatives' homes. I went to two or three houses a day, and there was a traffic jam on the way back. It was around 11pm when I got home, so I went straight to bed.
