Chapter 402 3 Princes
Chapter 402 3 Princes
The cool autumn breeze outside the window, mixed with the light, flowed into the house through the gaps in the window lattice.
Not long after Noble Concubine Yu Yu Sheyue sat down in front of the dressing table, she heard the eunuch outside the door come to report that the palace maid who went to inquire about the news wanted to see her.
She looked at her perfect makeup in the mirror and put down the jade hairpin she had just picked up. "Let her in."
The weather is really nice today.
After the palace maid came in, Concubine Yu Yu Sheyue turned around, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the palace maid who came to report the news.
The palace maid looked panicked, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down her forehead, and she was breathing heavily.
Noble Concubine Yu Yu Sheyue frowned slightly, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"Why are you running in such a hurry? It won't be too late to come in after you catch your breath." Shuang Xuyu on the side scolded rapidly and took out a handkerchief and threw it to the palace servant.
"Wipe off the sweat, and don't even think about cleaning yourself up before coming to the Empress."
"Your servant, your servant, something bad has happened to your Majesty. It's the turn of our Third Prince!!!"
The palace maid's voice was a little out of tune due to her excessive anxiety, and it sounded a little harsh, but it was still far from what was revealed.
"What do you mean it's the turn of our Third Prince?" Yu Sheyue gritted her teeth.
"Rumors, rumors." The palace maid who reported the news had not finished her words before she gasped a few times. She knelt on the ground, nervously clutching the handkerchief that Shuang Xu had just thrown to her to wipe her sweat.
"It is said that His Royal Highness the Third Prince killed the Thirteenth Prince and put the blame on His Royal Highness the First Prince, who is the eldest son of the Emperor, and His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, who is the eldest son of the Emperor, in order to covet the position of Crown Prince."
"They say that the eldest son should be crowned the heir, and people outside are making malicious speculations about our Third Prince, saying that as long as he gets rid of the First Prince and the Ninth Prince, he will be the first among the princes, and the position of Crown Prince will be in his pocket."
The other two legitimate princes, the twins the tenth prince Qin Mingrong and the eleventh prince Qin Mingcong, were no longer within the scope of discussion because they looked too similar.
Concubine Yu Yu Sheyue stood up suddenly, turned her head and looked at Shuang Xu in surprise. She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the Pepper Room.
"Has my faction been dragged down by her?"
"Someone, go and call..." Just as he was about to send someone to invite the third prince Qin Mingjin into the palace, he suddenly remembered that he was under house arrest by His Majesty.
Yu Sheyue was stunned for a moment, then she withdrew her hand, "Go and pass this news to the Third Prince, and ask him to think of a good countermeasure."
After giving the eunuch instructions, Yu Guipin Yu Sheyue calmed down as she watched the eunuch hurried away. She asked in a light tone, "What's the evidence?"
"What evidence do you have to support the claim that the Third Prince killed the Thirteenth Prince and framed the First and Third Princes?"
The palace maid shook her head.
Ah, this, she doesn’t know!
"There is no basis for it."
Yu Sheyue snorted coldly.
Whether it is the rumor that the eldest prince and the ninth prince killed the thirteenth prince, or the rumor that the third prince killed the thirteenth prince and put the blame on the eldest prince and the ninth prince, is there any evidence?
Things have come to this point. Even if it is found out that the Thirteenth Prince died in an accident, it has nothing to do with any prince, any princess, or any concubine.
They all seem to point to one consequence.
This is what her grandmother had told her before she passed away: the peace in this palace is only superficial and temporary, and she should not indulge in it, because one day this peace will be broken.
It seems that time has come now, and the harmonious atmosphere between the princes and concubines seems to have been broken.
At the cost of a prince's life?
