Chapter 18 The Prince of the Marquisate who died in the battle is back 11
Xiao Yun sat in the front carriage, with Hongling and Cuiyun. Cuiqiao had been sent back to Tai'an Courtyard before, and the carriage could not accommodate so many people.
The reason why she followed him to Huiling Temple obediently was not to avoid ruining her character, but because in the original owner's memory, a big event happened in Huiling Temple today. King Ping was assassinated there, and his body was already cold when it was found.
It is said that King Ping and his guards were poisoned first, and then they were killed in the back mountain without any resistance.
As for why King Ping went to Huiling Temple for no reason and then went to the mountain behind the temple, no one knows.
When talking about King Ping, we cannot help but talk about his glorious deeds.
Prince Ping is the uncle of the current emperor, but he is five years younger than the emperor. He is the late-born son of the emperor before him. The emperor before him was not a power-hungry person and preferred to indulge in nature.
As soon as the crown prince at that time, that is, the former emperor, was able to take charge of things on his own, he abdicated quickly and began a carefree life of traveling and sightseeing.
It is said that when he was in his fifties and traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, he met the true love of his life, a charming widow in her thirties.
This guy's old house caught fire, and he was out of control. He stopped traveling around and settled down in Jiangnan. He also asked his son and subordinates to cooperate with him. He even held a wedding with the other party under an assumed name, married her in a formal ceremony, and lived a good life there.
But the good times did not last long. In the third year, his true love became pregnant. If she was almost 40 years old and had given birth to a child before, pregnancy would not be a big deal. But his true love had never given birth before, and this was her first child, so the risk was great.
The imperial physician who accompanied the old emperor told him the seriousness of the situation and did not recommend keeping the child.
The old emperor was not short of children. He valued his true love more. However, he could not resist the desire of true love. He originally thought that he would never have the chance to be a mother in this life. This was almost a huge surprise. How could he give up?
So she tried her best to give birth to the child, and the old emperor had to compromise.
She also asked her son to send over several gynecological experts from the Imperial Hospital, and a midwife also came from the palace. She thought that since she had made all the preparations, nothing should go wrong, but the accident still happened.
Because of the advanced age of the birth and the small frame of southern women, the child had the genes of the old emperor, a northern man. Even though the mother controlled her diet and exercise during pregnancy, the child was still too big for the mother.
The child had a large skeleton and the mother had a small pelvis, so even though the birth canal was opened, the baby almost couldn't be born.
After three days and two nights of struggle, the child was finally born. The adult was exhausted and had heavy bleeding. The imperial physician did his best but could only save the baby's life for more than a month. The child passed away a few days after the full moon.
The old emperor was heartbroken and didn't want to stay in that sad place anymore, so he took his children back to the imperial city and went to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing to live out his retirement.
This child was Prince Ping. The old emperor did not vent his anger on his lover's death, but transferred all his love to this old son.
As soon as he returned to the capital, he asked his son to confer the title of King Ping on his younger brother, hoping that he would live a peaceful and smooth life. He even got him a golden medal of immunity from death and drafted a will in advance, stating that as long as there was no change of dynasty, the golden medal of immunity from death would still be useful to King Ping's descendants.
It can be said that King Ping grew up in the midst of endless love and affection. The old emperor passed away when he was seventeen years old, and his future life had already been arranged almost entirely for him.
In fact, the old emperor had arranged a marriage for him when he was fifteen years old. The girl was the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, one year younger than him. It was said that she was both talented and beautiful, and also knew some martial arts. After the two parties met, they were both very satisfied with each other, so they got engaged.
Who would have thought that the girl would suddenly fall seriously ill and die within two days.
Half a year later, the old emperor betrothed him to the second daughter of the Minister of War. While going boating in the summer, she accidentally fell into the lake and drowned.
It is said that with servants and guards following him, he should have been rescued in time, but he was so unexpected that he choked on the water when he fell in, and was no longer breathing when he was rescued.
The old emperor did not give up, and found the eldest daughter of the Imperial Censor's family half a year later, but this time he did not hold out until the wedding, and died suddenly again...
In fact, the person didn’t die this time, he just ran away with someone.
It turned out that she had a childhood sweetheart, a cousin, but that cousin's family had fallen on hard times, and her father certainly didn't agree to let his outstanding daughter marry into that kind of family.
Originally betrothed to Queen Ping, the girl was ready to accept her fate. After all, it was her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and she had no intention of rebelling against society.
But she had a maid who was not very reliable. She helped her cousin to pass several letters to her. What she said at the beginning became uncertain. Finally, her cousin was so cruel that he wrote to her directly, asking her to elope with him, otherwise he would hang himself.
This made the young girl, who was just beginning to fall in love, feel very helpless. In a fit of excitement, she immediately took up her bag and ran away.
The old emperor originally felt that his time was approaching and was worried about Prince Ping, so he wanted to marry him off before he died. However, he encountered three setbacks in succession and didn't know what to do for a while.
In addition, King Ping also felt depressed and kept saying that he was unlucky in marriage, so he decided not to get married. As a result, he delayed his marriage and did not get married until he died at the age of 25.
He had the same personality as his father. He liked traveling and did not participate in court affairs. No one knew who got in his way, but he was assassinated and lost his life at a young age.
This time she went there to see if she could rescue him. If she could, it would be a huge favor and would also help her next plan.
