Chapter 82 7.15
There are a lot of people in the palace today, and many wives and ladies who rarely enter the palace will go to the harem. Luo Jinlian wants to hurry to find the seventh prince while there are few people now, and it will be inconvenient for him to walk in the harem when there are more people.
Luo Jinlian didn't expect to meet Wu Donglin who was joking with others on the way. Seeing Luo Jinlian waiting aside, Wu Donglin knew that he had something to do, so he said a few words to those people and walked over. place away.
"Is Jinlian looking for me?"
"Yes, has your Highness seen the second princess?"
"Oh, I met Brother Erhuang and Sister-in-law Erhuang in the morning. Later, Sister-in-law Erhuang said she was looking for me for something, but she just talked nonsense. Oh, she said that although she was defeated in the war and came to marry, she thanked me for letting her find a Good husband." Wu Donglin smiled and shook his head: "A congenial princess is so naive."
Luo Jinlian looked at Wu Donglin who seemed to be laughing helplessly and sarcastically, moved his throat and said, "It was the princess who found His Highness? What happened after that?"
"I'll leave after that." Wu Donglin was already getting impatient, with an expression of what do you think: "Although I don't care about those red tapes, it still has an impact on others, but since I was 7 years old, I didn't allow her to be with her. You are holding hands."
Luo Jinlian was a little embarrassed. Although Wu Donglin has always acted freely, he has always avoided things that affect others. He probably left directly after talking to the second prince and concubine.
Luo Jinlian then left and left. Wu Donglin watched Luo Jinlian go away. Tonight should be a catastrophe for Luo Jinlian. Whether he can pass and whether he will be reborn will probably be tonight. After tonight, Luo Jinlian should be able to understand that whether you are reborn or not, everything is different, whether it is the emperor, the prince, Wu Donglin, the fifteenth princess, or Luo Jinlian herself, everything is different.
Wu Donglin couldn't stand the cold war for several months. If Luo Jinlian had no feelings for him from the beginning to the end, Wu Donglin would never believe it. What happened after drinking that day is enough to prove it .
The Second Prince held the Imperial Guards in the palace, and under the pretext of looking for the Second Princess, he fully mobilized the Imperial Guards. Time passed quickly, and the Second Princess was still not found until the dinner was about to start. Wu Donglin knew that this must be the case. It was directed at him, but he kept smiling. When Luo Jin looked at him, Wu Donglin grinned even more. Luo Jinlian stared blankly, as if time went back to his childhood. Always grinning and pulling Luo Jinlian to the table, then whispering in Luo Jinlian's ear, "We've spent another year together!"
It wasn't until the banquet that the second prince hurried into the hall. Not long after sitting down, someone came in to look for the second prince. The second prince pleaded guilty to the emperor and hurried away. The emperor stared deeply at the second prince's distant figure. , and continued to laugh and laugh with the people in the palace, Luo Jinlian looked at the happy scene, but felt that an undercurrent was coming.
When Wu Donglin came over with the wine glass, Luo Jinlian was still in a daze. The wine glass made a sound when it was touched. Luo Jinlian came back to her senses. When she turned around, she saw Wu Donglin standing beside him. Luo Jinlian gave him an unnatural look. He turned his gaze, and then turned back to meet Wu Donglin's gaze.
Wu Donglin raised his cup, rolled the wine in his mouth a few times before swallowing it. This wine was the same as what everyone in the hall drank, and the medicine was in the wine.
Luo Jinlian raised his wine glass but was blocked by Wu Donglin, and poured the glass of wine into his own.
Luo Jinlian wanted to speak, but Wu Donglin spoke first: "Jinlian, what is the relationship between you and the second emperor brother?"
"Your Highness." Luo Jinlian was a little afraid to look directly at Wu Donglin, turned his head to Princess Fifteen, and nodded at Princess Fifteen: "Why did you say that?"
"You know what?"
Luo Jinlian looked back at Wu Donglin and said nothing.
"Second Brother wants the entire royal family to disappear tonight. The body of the Second Concubine has been found. This matter is aimed at me..."
"how can that be!"
"If you don't believe me, look around. The Forbidden Army is in charge of the second prince, and now the entire palace has been controlled by him."
Luo Jinlian was a little shocked. He could understand that the second prince took the initiative to attack, but he really didn't expect such a cruel hand.
"You, did you also give him the flares from the military camp outside the city?" Wu Donglin was still smiling, and no one in the hall paid special attention to them. Most of them just thought that Wu Donglin was going to tease Young Master Luo again.
"No! I didn't..." For the trust Wu Donglin gave, Luo Jinlian couldn't hold his head up at this time. He was glad that he didn't have the impulse to hand over the signal flare at that time, but luckily he didn't.
Wu Donglin smiled: "That's good, Jin Lian is still the Jin Lian I know, I know I believe you can't be wrong, the prince was left in the East Palace by my tricks before, and now only the prince has some in the palace. Deployed manpower, I need your help, the second prince will definitely not attack you, you help me protect the prince, you must ensure his safety, and then find an opportunity to release the signal flare, I have done everything I can do Arrangements, other things depend on luck."
After Wu Donglin finished speaking, he turned around and left. Luo Jinlian called out behind him, and Wu Donglin could hear his voice trembling.
"Your Highness, why do you still believe in Jinlian now?"
"As I said, I can give you my life. That's not a good thing to say casually."
Luo Jinlian clenched the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly there were thunderous footsteps outside the palace gate. Everyone in the palace was startled and looked towards the palace gate, only to see the second prince entering the palace with a man in his arms.
From the clothing exposed by the person being hugged, it can be seen that it is a woman. The woman's body is covered by a black cloak, revealing only a small pale face covered with blood. With good eyesight, she can see that it is the day before yesterday. The second prince and concubine who was married to the second prince, the second prince was in great grief. When he entered the palace, he was almost knocked down by the threshold. The faces of the people in the palace were all ugly. Wu Donglin narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold expression. In the morning, this woman even smiled and said Looking at his own happiness, now he has become a corpse, and Luo Jinlian, who was still standing on his seat, also fell down at this time. The second prince and concubine is really dead.
The second prince knelt in the palace holding the second prince and concubine, and said sadly: "Father!"
"What's going on here? What you're holding is... the second concubine?"
"Father, it is the princess."
"What the hell is going on!" The emperor threw out the wine glass in his hand. "Check it out for me!"
"I beg the emperor to make decisions for his son and daughter-in-law."
The palace banquet suddenly became a trial, and the final clue came after the Seventh Prince had a conversation with the Second Prince's Concubine. At that time, the palace people around the Second Prince's Concubine disappeared. There were many discussions in the palace, and the Second Prince was still hugging the Second Prince. The concubine was kneeling in the hall, and Wu Donglin was also kneeling in the hall because of being questioned.
"Old Qi, you said that you went to Concubine Shu's palace after meeting the second concubine?"
"Back to father, that's exactly the case. At that time, Erchen and Erhuang's wife just said a few words casually. She just said that it was her blessing to be married to Erhuang brother. Now she feels very happy. Later, she said that she would look for Erhuang brother. Yes, the son-in-law also went to the concubine mother."
"Was there anyone else?"
"At that time, only the second emperor's sister-in-law's personal palace servant was around. As for whether there was anyone nearby, I didn't pay attention. I always walked alone, and I didn't bring any palace servants with me."
The emperor asked other people, and they all said that they had never seen the second concubine, and could not find any new clues. There were still so many people sitting in the palace, and the second prince was crying sadly while holding the corpse of the second concubine.
"Second, you take the second concubine down first to resettle. If the clues are broken now, it will take time to investigate. Although Lao Qi is the last person who has seen the second concubine, I believe that Lao Qi will not do such a thing. It's a big treason thing, why don't you calm down first, and wait for the father to have a clue, how about interrogation?"
The second prince clenched his hands tightly. He originally thought that at least the seventh prince could be sidelined, but he didn't expect the emperor to expose it so lightly. However, he still has important things to do, and he will always get it back after holding back this tone.
"Yes, my son obeys the order."
The second prince took a look at Wu Donglin and took the body down. Although it was only an episode, it suppressed the originally happy atmosphere in the hall. It took about half an hour for the second prince to re-enter the hall, his expression still ugly.
When the emperor saw that all the people in the palace were assembled, he ordered people to pass on new dishes and drinks. The wine used by the royal family was naturally different from that of the ministers, and only a few people were rewarded with the same wine as the royal family.
After the wine was filled, everyone knew that the emperor was going to say something routinely, and everyone waited. Only the second prince picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it. Wu Donglin watched his movements with a twinkle in his eyes.
The action of the second prince also attracted the attention of others, which is a disrespectful behavior in normal times. Seeing someone staring at him, the second prince seemed to have realized his behavior, and hurriedly got up to apologize to the emperor. The emperor raised his hand and pressed down After seeing the second prince's wine glass being refilled by the palace servants, he spoke impassionedly. Just as everyone was about to drink, Wu Donglin suddenly stood up.
Both Concubine Shu and the Fifteenth Princess were startled by his actions. They hadn't recovered from the fright just now. Seeing Wu Donglin stand up at this time, they all looked at him nervously. Wu Donglin smiled at Concubine Shu soothingly, holding The wine cup stood in the temple.
"Father, the second brother is in a bad mood today. I shouldn't have mentioned it. However, the second brother has been busy outside the hall before, and he hasn't offered a glass of wine to the father." Wu Donglin didn't care what happened to the people in the hall. Looking at him, I don't care if the second prince's eyes can stab him to death.
The second prince suppressed the anger in his heart, held up his wine glass and stood in the hall: "Royal father, it was my fault. Thanks to Lao Qi reminding me, I respect my father for a glass, and wish my father forever."
The second prince drank the wine in one gulp, the emperor picked up the wine glass and said yes and let everyone drink together, the second prince raised his head slightly to look at the emperor, his heart was so nervous that his body trembled slightly, he saw that the emperor raised the wine and was about to touch his lips, But Wu Donglin said again: "Father, wait, everyone, wait."
"Old Qi, what are you doing again?" The second prince asked angrily when he heard Wu Donglin's call to stop, as if the blood boiling all over his body was suddenly stopped, and a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.
