Master Wen looked at Li Tong in shock, and Li Tong nodded at him.

"Don't worry, girl." Master Wen Er bowed to Li Tong, then bowed to Mrs. Zhang and Li Xin, turned around and went out, asked someone to prepare horses, and ran out of the door, galloping to Princess Fu'an's Bianzhuang.

When Mr. Wen went out, Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to Mrs. Zhang, looking at the eldest brother with a serious expression, and Ah Niang with a worried look on her face, "The eldest princess called me over in the middle of the night. This is the matter. It was said that it was last night. The old man put Hedinghong into Concubine Zhou's medicine and brought it to Concubine Zhou with his own hands. The imperial physician could not save him."

After a pause, Li Tong continued: "The eldest princess said that before her death, Concubine Zhou begged the emperor two things: one is not to kill the eldest prince, and the other is to immediately make the fourth prince the crown prince. The eldest princess said that Concubine Zhou would definitely posthumously be named the queen, and she had to go to the palace to guard her. She also said that Empress Ning would probably return to the forbidden area."

"For a while, the eldest princess will not go back to Baolin Temple, right?" Mrs. Zhang asked keenly. Li Tong nodded, "Let's pack up and go into the city, right?" Li Tong looked at Mrs. Zhang and Li Xin, and Li Xin nodded, "At this time, it's indeed more convenient to be in the capital. I'll go into the city later."

"Oh, it's going to be messed up." Mrs. Zhang nodded and sighed.

On that night, Ning Yuan was inexplicably restless and it was useless to copy a scripture. He simply went to Houyuan to punch him. He came back in sweat and took a shower. He still couldn't sleep. He got up and was thinking about whether to go to Houyuan to run around. Daying hurriedly reported outside: "Master, please see you, Master Cui!"

"Cui Xin? Hurry up! Come in and talk!" Ning Yuan suddenly started to jump up.

Daying pushed open the door, Cui Xin was full of heat and plunged in. His eyes were so bright that he could emit light, "Seventh Master, Concubine Zhou is dead! Concubine Zhou is dead!"

"What?" Ning Yuan screamed strangely, unable to believe his ears.

"Die!" Cui Xin grinned, "I'm so dead, I'm killing you, a poison."

"She is dead!" Ning Yuan slapped himself on the forehead, "She is dead, sister!" Ning Yuan called out to the elder sister, supported his hands, jumped down from the bed, reached out to grab a piece of clothing, and ran out while wearing it, "She is dead, I'll tell my elder sister! I'll pick up the elder sister back!"

"Huh?" Before Cui Xin could react, Ning Yuan had already rushed over from him. Daying, who was guarding the door, staring at Ning Yuan, who was barefoot and running out quickly, was stunned.

Ning Yuan rushed to the second door in one breath, stood barefoot, watching the quiet and dark door outward, stayed for a while, raised his hand and rubbed his face. What's wrong with him? Ning Yuan rubbed his face a few more times, turned around, and walked back barefoot.

Not far away, Dae Young rushed over with his shoes and clothes with Cui Xin. Seeing Ning Yuan, Cui Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Seventh Master!"

"Master, put on your shoes quickly." Daying looked at Ning Yuan's thin white feet with great distress, stuffed the clothes in his arms to Cui Xin, rushed over, and half-kneeled on the ground to wear Ning Yuan's shoes.

Ning Yuan raised his feet and asked Daying to put on his shoes. He picked up the cloak from Cui Xin's arms and put it on his body. "It's okay, run for a while and go back quickly. Daying went to call Uncle Fu, June, Wei Fengniang, and Jiang Da, all came over, the faster the better."

Daying agreed and ran out and asked someone to pass the message.

Ning Yuan signaled Cui Xin, "Tell me."

"Yes, it's Lao Huang from the tea room outside Changning Palace. I met when I first arrived in the capital. I never dared to use it. He came to tell me this. It was the evening when several big and fierce wild cats suddenly rushed in from Changning Palace. They bit several parrots to death and caught the lanterns in the corridor. They even fell off the lanterns under the corridor. Even the parrots and cats were combined with fire. The Changning Palace was in chaos. After that, I heard that Concubine Zhou was poisoned and the imperial physicians came to him to get charcoal ash. Then the emperor arrived, and then the fourth master also arrived. Later, the eldest prince was locked up. The young man had seen it. The eldest prince's mansion was surrounded by a group of people."

"Who else in Changning Palace?"

"It seems that there is no one else. Lao Huang happened to be on duty yesterday. I can see clearly that Lao Huang entrusted all his funeral to me yesterday and said that no one in Changning Palace could survive." Cui Xin sighed.

"No wonder he sat in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for two nights. I thought he was going to attack the fourth brother. Thinking that his brotherhood was quite deep, he really looked down on him. It turned out that he wanted to kill his mother, which was really something worse than a pig or a dog." Ning Yuan spat.

"You go back, keep a close eye on the three princes' mansions, keep a close eye on the Ji family, and get everyone out. I'll be busy for a while." Ning Yuan ordered.

"Yes!" Cui Xin smiled, "I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally... I'm a small departure."

Cui Xin bowed his hands and said, Ning Yuan had already returned to the gate of his yard, stepped in, stood in the yard for a while, and called Nobita Dahao to carry a few buckets of water. Standing in the yard, he took off his clothes and shoes, picked up the bucket, poured it on his head, poured one bucket, and poured another bucket, poured four or five buckets of water in a row. He felt that he was completely awake, so he dripped into the house. Nobita and Dahao dried their bodies and put on their clothes and shoes.

Liuyue and others had arrived, and Ning Yuan's instructions were concise and clear, "June went to leave the palace and told his elder sister that Concubine Zhou was poisoned by the eldest prince with a bowl of poison, so she was ready to prepare and was going to be imprisoned."

Liu Yue and others were stunned. Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, took a few steps back, covered his face and started crying in silence.

"Also, tell my elder sister, be careful in everything, forget it, don't tell me this, I'll pick her up when the time comes." Ning Yuan's several buckets of ice water poured her heart out. At this moment, she was sober and calm. Uncle Fu's suppressed crying that made people sad could not affect him anymore.

June agreed to go out, and Ning Yuan ordered Wei Fengniang again, "You go to the palace and follow my elder sister. I'm afraid there is not enough people on my elder sister." Wei Fengniang agreed to go out, and Ning Yuan ordered Uncle Fu and Jiang Da and others.

After a series of instructions, everyone took the order and withdrew. Ning Yuan sat cross-legged on the kang, concentrating and thinking.

As soon as Concubine Zhou died, the eldest prince and the fourth prince lost their reliance. The eldest prince had been locked up and killed his mother. Even if he didn't die, he would definitely be banned. Will the fourth prince establish a crown prince? It is very likely, but even if he established a crown prince without Concubine Zhou, with the foolishness and arrogant and lawless temper of the fourth son, it is difficult for him to sit firmly. This matter can be seen by himself and others can see it. Some people in the court are smart people.
