TV series: Daily life of male supporting role

Chapter 278: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 24

When the news of Prince Guo's death came back, it was accompanied by good news from the northwest.

The emperor was filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered. Fortunately, Su Peisheng, who was beside him, was quick to support the emperor.

The emperor felt his head buzzing, but he suppressed his sadness and said to Su Peisheng, "The Queen Mother and Prince Guo's wife must not know about this."

Su Peisheng quickly agreed, "Yes, I will make those people shut up and not talk nonsense in front of the Queen Mother and Prince Guo's wife."

When the emperor heard Su Peisheng's words, he nodded, could no longer bear it, and fainted.

The emperor's fainting naturally alarmed the empress dowager. Soon, the empress dowager came to the Yangxin Palace with the support of Zhuxi.

Looking at the emperor lying on the bed, the empress dowager asked Su Peisheng why the emperor fainted.

Su Peisheng lowered his head and did not dare to look at the empress dowager. He only said that the emperor fainted because of the heavy workload on government affairs. He did not mention a word about the emperor's vomiting blood and Prince Guo's death.

The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor had been busy with state affairs recently and had no time to rest, so she did not suspect anything and asked Su Peisheng to serve the Emperor well.

The Queen Mother sat by the Emperor's bed for a long time, until she could no longer bear it, but the Emperor still did not wake up.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to instruct Su Peisheng, "When the Emperor wakes up, you must inform me as soon as possible."

Su Peisheng hurriedly said: "When the emperor wakes up, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother nodded when she heard this and went back to the palace to rest.

The emperor had the news blocked, and now few people know about Prince Guo's death.

Unfortunately, the truth cannot be hidden. The emperor has people in the northwest, and the empress dowager also has people serving Prince Guo.

The news that person brought arrived slower than the news from the emperor's side.

The Queen Mother learned of Prince Guo’s death on the second night after the Emperor fell into a coma.

Upon hearing the bad news, the empress dowager suddenly felt a pain in her heart, her eyes went dark, her body staggered, and she fainted.

Zhu Xi was shocked and immediately asked someone to find the imperial physician.

The emperor hadn't woken up yet and the empress dowager had also gotten into trouble. For a moment, both the court and the harem were in chaos.

The chaos did not last long before the emperor woke up. After learning the reason why the empress dowager fainted, the emperor glared at Su Peisheng fiercely, and Su Peisheng quickly knelt down and apologized.

He also didn't expect that the Queen Mother also had someone in the northwest.

The emperor had no time to punish Su Peisheng, so he went to the Cining Palace to see the empress dowager. The empress dowager was old and her mood was fluctuating greatly. If she didn't rest well, she might not be able to survive.

When the emperor heard this, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. Yunli had left, so was his royal mother going to leave too?

The emperor suppressed his grief and asked the secret agent to tell him the cause of Prince Guo's death.

The spy said that when Prince Guo first went there, his health was normal and he could not notice anything wrong. Until during an assassination attempt, Prince Guo was shot by an arrow. The poison carried by the arrow activated the toxins that had been hidden in Prince Guo's body for a long time. Prince Guo became seriously ill and could not be cured. Prince Guo passed away within a few days.

The doctor said that the poison in Prince Guo's body had been hidden for half a year and that he was poisoned when Yunli entered the northwest territory.

After the emperor knew the whole story, he pounded the table angrily and couldn't help coughing up blood. Su Peisheng was frightened and afraid that the emperor would faint again, so he quickly asked the imperial physician who was waiting at the side to give the emperor acupuncture.

The emperor felt much better under the acupuncture of the imperial physician. He ordered everyone to find out the murderer of Prince Guo and kill all nine generations of his clan.

The Queen Mother was in a coma for three days before she slowly woke up. At this time, Prince Guo's coffin was already on the way back to the capital and would arrive there soon.

The emperor was guarding the empress dowager's side. When he saw that she had woken up, he quickly leaned over and helped her lie down against the pillow.

When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor, she couldn't hold back her tears and choked up, "Your Majesty, Yunli...is he really gone?"

The emperor didn't dare to look at the empress dowager's sad eyes. He lowered his eyes and nodded gently.

The Queen Mother raised her head to try to stop her tears from falling, but unfortunately the tears still fell in large drops.

Zhu Xi, who was serving beside him, looked at his old master with a distressed look on his face and felt very sad.

Prince Guo was very kind to everyone in the Cining Palace, and Zhuxi was also very sad about Prince Guo's passing.

The emperor quickly comforted the queen mother, "Don't be sad, Queen Mother. Yunli would blame himself if he knew about this."

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said to the Emperor, "Have you found the murderer who killed Yunli?"

The emperor's eyes turned cold and he said, "It will be soon. I will kill all nine of their clans to avenge Yunli."

The emperor's words were full of anger, but the queen mother thought it was nothing and nodded, "They must be severely punished. Yunli was such a good child, but he didn't even leave behind an heir..."

At this point, the grieving empress dowager and the emperor suddenly thought of something and looked at each other. The emperor turned to Su Peisheng and asked, "What's the situation with Prince Guo's wife?"

Ever since the Empress Dowager fainted, Su Peisheng has been keeping a closer eye on Prince Guo's wife, fearing that someone would be so blind as to say something irresponsible to her.

Su Peisheng replied respectfully: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, please rest assured. Fu Jin doesn't know about this yet."

The Queen Mother and the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but the Queen Mother suddenly remembered that Prince Guo's coffin would soon be returned to the capital, and sighed, "I'm afraid we can't keep it a secret for much longer."

The emperor consoled her, "It is better to keep it a secret for a while. Yunli's wife was ill some time ago and is now recovering. It is better to know this later."

The Queen Mother nodded.

A few days later, Prince Guo's coffin was transported to the capital. Only then did those ministers who were not well-informed learn the reason why the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had fainted a few days ago.

It turned out that Prince Guo had passed away.

Anqiguanli.

Su Qingqing looked at the man dressed as a eunuch standing in front of her and said, "Boss, I can leave now."

The man called the boss nodded, looked at the dead silence in Su Qingqing's eyes, and sighed: "Yes, the prince said that after you fake your death, you will go to Jiangnan to serve the old lady."

Su Qingqing squatted down slightly and said, "Yes."

Prince Guo's funeral was grand. In front of the mourning hall, Su Qingqing, with a pale face in mourning clothes, knelt in front of the coffin, her eyes full of death.

When the Emperor and the Queen Mother came to pay their respects and saw Su Qingqing like this, they were shocked, fearing that she would commit suicide for Prince Guo, so they ordered people to keep a close eye on her.

Yunli died, and his wife could not afford to have any more trouble.

Su Qingqing kept vigil for Prince Guo for seven days. On the eighth day, Su Qingqing did not appear in front of everyone.

When the Empress Dowager and the people sent by the Emperor saw this, they felt an ominous premonition.

They hurried to Su Qingqing's room to find Su Qingqing.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the crying of the maid inside.

The ominous premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger. They hurried into the room and saw Su Qingqing sleeping peacefully.

They stepped forward and stretched out their trembling hands to feel Su Qingqing's breath.

When they didn't feel any breath, several people collapsed to the ground.

I thought to myself, "Prince Guo's wife is dead!"

Not long after Prince Guo died, his wife also passed away. For a time, people all over the capital sighed for this ill-fated couple.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were not the least bit surprised when they found out. After all, when they saw Su Qingqing's dead eyes, they had expected this result.

What they don’t know is that that kind of Su Qingqing is the real Su Qingqing, Su Qingqing after her lover passed away.
