Chapter 228 Fainting
Chapter 228 Fainting
That day, Prince Rui was kept in the Qinzheng Hall by Emperor Jingyuan for nearly two hours. During this time, it was heard that Li Jin was driven out by Emperor Jingyuan.
This news spread to all parts of Shengjing City like the wind.
From that day on, Prince Rui became busy and even went to the backyard less often.
Then, about three months later, Emperor Jingyuan suddenly fainted during the morning court session.
This time, Emperor Jingyuan's condition was completely different from the previous ones. Not only did it not show any signs of improvement, but it deteriorated rapidly and he did not wake up until the evening.
After hearing the news, Qiao Rongjin, who had gone out to the farm to avoid the fighting in the backyard, had to rush back to Prince Rui's Mansion just like last time.
Qiao Rongjin sat in the low-key and luxurious carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the people on the farm outside, his face full of reluctance.
Seeing this, Qiao's mother comforted her, "It's okay. When the situation gets better in a few days, we can come again." She had to leave too. This was a special period. If she continued to have fun outside, she would inevitably be caught.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Rongjin nodded, said goodbye to everyone, and then lowered the curtain.
However, after walking for a while, I heard the driver say "whoa!"
"what happened?"
Aunt Wu asked through the carriage curtain.
"In reply to Madam Madam, the guards from the mansion are here." The coachman answered respectfully.
Hearing this, Nanny Wu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked up. Sure enough, there were six guards riding tall horses coming. They were all familiar faces. Nanny Wu felt relieved. However, in a flash, she remembered that this had never happened before. It seemed that the situation in the palace was not good. After thinking about it, she told them to speed up and return home quickly, and then she lowered the curtain of the carriage.
Then he turned to look at his master.
What Aunt Wu could think of, Qiao Rongjin could naturally think of. It seems that the situation in the palace is not optimistic!
However, she was a little surprised that Qi Heng could think of her at this time. Well, not that surprising.
Qi Heng has always been like this. Even during that period when he doted on Chu Qingqing very much, he did not withdraw the people who came to protect him, and even added a few more people later. This is what Zhu Yun told her.
Although she didn't understand what he was thinking, she had a free bodyguard and she wasn't stupid enough to turn him down.
It’s just that Qiao Rongjin really can’t understand him. It’s like he likes his new love, but can’t let go of his old love?
Shaking his head, Qiao Rongjin curled his lips, leaned on the carriage with one hand, and stopped thinking about this problem.
"Let's go, go home early."
Aunt Wu nodded.
When Qiao Rongjin thought about going back to Prince Rui's Mansion, his head began to ache badly.
Half a month ago, Chu Qingqing had a miscarriage. After going through the most unstable first three months, she unexpectedly had a miscarriage.
This incident caused quite a stir in Prince Rui's Mansion. It was said that Qi Heng was quite angry. In the end, it was found out that there were more than one person involved, including two concubines who entered the mansion at the same time as Chu Qingqing. As for who else was involved, Qiao Rongjin didn't care at all. It had nothing to do with her anyway. She packed her luggage and went to the Qiao Mansion. Then she made an appointment with her sister-in-law, Qiao's mother, and a few good sisters to go to another place a little further away from Shengjing City, away from these disputes.
No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with her, so when she went out to play at the farm, naturally no one dared to say anything. King Rui just sent two people to protect her safety and said nothing else.
It is easy to imagine that the mansion would become even more lively after she left. Sure enough, when Qiao Rongjin returned to Yunshen Pavilion and heard Qinyun talking about what had happened in recent days, he was very glad that he went to the manor, otherwise he would definitely be involved in these disputes.
And now, listening to everyone who was about to beat his brains into a dog's brain, Qiao Rongjin still had the mood to drink tea and read storybooks.
"It's so lively!" Qiao Rongjin exclaimed.
"That's right! Master, the mansion has been very lively these days, even though you are not here. Otherwise, I would have eaten two more bowls of rice!" Qin Yun was obviously very excited and looked very excited.
The others nodded in agreement, including the sick Qinglian, with sparkling eyes.
Qiao Rongjin looked at the raging gossip in the eyes of several people, and the corners of her mouth twitched. As expected, women all love gossip.
"Then, who caused Chu Qingqing's miscarriage? How did the prince deal with it?"
Qiao Rongjin was very curious about this. Although she could have had someone send her the latest news from the palace every day, she thought it was unnecessary. There were many people around the king Rui. If she was misunderstood, she couldn't say that she was just gossiping, right? Who would believe that? It was best not to ask anything to avoid trouble. Like now, it was good to come back and ask. Gossip was good, but it was not troublesome. Expired gossip was also very exciting.
Speaking of this, Qinyun had a lot to say.
Other people in the yard also interjected from time to time, and the whole story became very clear.
It turned out that it was one of the new concubines who did it, but Qiao Rongjin just couldn't believe it.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu also frowned.
The master and servant looked at each other and knew that the other did not believe it.
There's something so weird about this matter!
However, this was not Yunshen Pavilion's business, so neither of them thought about it any further.
"Where is your young master?"
She hadn't seen her son for quite some time since his last vacation at the farm, and she really missed him.
"My lord, someone from the palace of Queen Concubine Xian just said that the young master will not be coming back tonight and will stay in Minghua Palace." Qinglian replied.
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin knew what the virtuous concubine, or rather his own son, meant. His son was afraid that something bad might happen to Emperor Jingyuan and he would not have the chance to take a last look at him.
Thinking about his son's growing affection for Emperor Jingyuan, Qiao Rongjin was a little worried. If Emperor Jingyuan really couldn't hold on this time, how sad would his son be? This time the situation was obviously different from the previous times.
She has always had such worries.
She knew her son well enough. He was not someone who would give his feelings easily, but once he had feelings for someone, he would be more loyal than anyone else, and people who were loyal were the easiest to get hurt.
Qiao Rongjin always felt that Emperor Jingyuan's health must have been failing for a long time, but he just kept it a secret from everyone, otherwise he wouldn't have fainted suddenly. This must have reached a point where it was irreversible, a point where even the imperial physician couldn't control it, so that's why he behaved like that at the morning court.
Considering the deposed crown prince's rebellion, Emperor Jingyuan's series of reactions, coupled with his previous hidden injuries, and the timeline of Emperor Jingyuan's death in the book, it seemed that it was not far away.
Qiao Rongjin was in a complicated mood. This time, Emperor Jingyuan might really...
