The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 525 Major Events in the Capital

 The male and female protagonists are ultimately unable to defeat destiny and are together. Moreover, according to the eldest princess, Qin Yuyu was pregnant, but the news was tightly covered and did not spread outside.

Du Wan thought that she had only been away from Beijing for a month and a few days, and the two of them were together and pregnant.

 There was no accident, right? It is written like this in many novels. The first time between a male and female protagonist is usually an accident.

 There is another big thing that Du Wan did not expect.

The palace door was suddenly closed three days ago. No one could get in and no one could get out. Princess Company Commander, Prince Consort Du, and some ministers once went outside the palace to seek an audience with the emperor, but were rejected by the imperial guards across the palace gate, saying that the emperor had ordered the palace gates to be closed and entry and exit prohibited.

"What happened?" Du Wan couldn't help but worry about the emperor's uncle.

Du Qian continued, "It won't be a trivial matter."

 The brother and sister looked at their parents together, looking like they were asking for a solution.

The eldest princess was so amused that she almost laughed.

As soon as the two brothers and sisters saw the eldest princess like this, their worries became a little less. The palace door is closed, but they believe that with their parents' ability, they can receive more or less news inside.

　　Du Huima and the eldest princess did receive two or three secret messages from the palace, and they used their own unique method to spread the news. They can only speculate on what happened based on these messages, but they don't know exactly what happened.

　　Du Humaping retreated, and when only his family was left in the room, he whispered: "It's Concubine Xie who died!"

 “What?” Du Wan was shocked.

Du Qian was also shocked by the news.

Du Wan was stunned and said, "Did I hear it correctly? It's not an illusion?"

"No! It's absolutely true." The eldest princess stretched out her finger and poked her daughter's forehead, "Does it hurt? The pain is real."

 “It doesn’t hurt.” Du Wan blinked and replied.

The eldest princess chuckled and poked her head again.

Du Wan shamelessly approached her and smelled her fragrance. In the past, Du Wan felt that there was always a very special fragrance around the eldest princess, which smelled particularly good. However, when she asked Aunt Yan, she said that there was no special fragrance, it was just what the eldest princess was used to.

Mother and daughter were tired of each other for a long time.

 The father and son looked sour, but they still tacitly agreed not to say anything.

 In fact, Du Wan doubted whether he was hallucinating when he heard it.

 Such a person who has been favored for many years simply died?

The current plot has already strayed far away from the original work, and there are not many places for her to refer to. According to the plot of the original work, Concubine Xie should be living well during this period.

 But, she is really dead...

Du Qian came up to his father and poured him a cup of hot tea. "Father, is there something fishy about Concubine Xie's death?"

“Well, he died of poisoning.” Prince Consort Du picked up the tea bowl.

Du Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who poisoned me?"

“The clue points to the eldest maid next to the queen. But when the commander of the imperial guard went to arrest the person, the eldest maid had committed suicide. Now, the clue was interrupted and the queen was banned.”

 “What does the emperor think?” Du Qian thought thoughtfully.

Du Prince Consort raised his eyes and glanced at him, "It's hard to say."

Logically speaking, if clues can be found that point to the queen, the emperor can convict her.

　　However, the emperor just ordered a grounding.

The key clue is broken. Even if no one accuses the queen, the queen still cannot clear her name.

At this time, the family did not believe that the queen would be stupid enough to poison her. They suspected that someone was secretly framing her, including Du Wan. But this time, Du Wan did not suspect that it was the Xie family's conspiracy. You must know that the person who was plotted to death this time was Concubine Xie. Anyone can see that the living Concubine Xie is more valuable than the dead one.

  Unfortunately, not much information was conveyed from the palace, and it is impossible to make an accurate prediction based on personal guesses. Du Wan's big eyes flashed and she asked in a low voice, "Is there something behind this matter?"

"I'm waiting outside the palace, and my knowledge is limited." Du Ma said truthfully, "Since you are back, you should go to see the emperor as soon as possible."

Du Wan was confused, "Didn't it say that the palace gate was sealed?"

“Ask for an audience outside. The Emperor may meet you two brothers and sisters.”

  “…” Du Wan is not too optimistic.

 Even my mother can’t enter the palace.

Du Qian said thoughtfully, "My sister and I will go there in the afternoon."

Du Wan was surprised and looked at the light outside the house, "It's almost noon. Don't you want to take a rest?"

 “Are you tired, sister?” Du Qian asked.

Du Wan shook his head, "I'm okay, I don't feel tired. I'm worried about your health. Can you bear it?"

 “No problem.” This time on the way back to the capital, I didn’t walk very fast.

 Du Qian's body is no longer seriously injured.

 Now that I hear about the situation in the palace, I feel that it is not that simple.

 What is the situation inside the palace? Countless people outside the palace are watching.

The eldest princess went to the palace to seek an audience, but was blocked from the palace. This shows the seriousness of the situation. Many people know that the emperor has always respected this eldest sister.

However, as long as you don’t want to rebel, everyone can only wait.

The whole family in the Princess Mansion got together and chatted about this and that for more than an hour.

The eldest princess and Prince Consort Du told the brothers and sisters about the situation in the capital. At the beginning of this year, the situation in the capital was extremely tense, and it reached its peak when the palace was suddenly blocked.

Du Qian and Du Wan talked about what happened in the north and what they had experienced on the way back. The situation outside is equally bad, even worse than it was two or three years ago. "Father, the taxes in many places are still heavy. When people in the government collect taxes, most of them don't care about the life and death of the people. If this continues, I'm afraid the officials will force the people to rebel. ."

 The last sentence is already very implicit.

After the southwestern rebels subsided, there are now rebels in the north.

Moreover, this rebel army is well-equipped and is probably a private army raised by a wealthy family. The father and son knew this well, and after learning that the emperor had sent his confidants to investigate, it was not their place to intervene.

　　In Duwan, he left with the eldest princess.

Du Qian asked in confusion: "Father, can Da Qin be saved?"

"Oh, who knows." Consort Du said in a calm voice, "The clan has been prepared for this for a long time. Let's act according to the opportunity."

"The son will go and prepare first, and he will leave the house later."

 “Go ahead, it’s best to take a nap.”

　　　…”

 When Du Wan went to see the eldest princess, Du Wan was no longer there, and the younger son was also taken away by Grandma Yan. "Sister Shu, has Wan Wan returned to Yulingyuan?"

“Well, why do you propose to let them enter the palace?”

"You have to make a show of yourself. It's best if you can get in. Whether you can get in or not will have a different opinion." Du Huima explained his intention. The brother and sister had just come back, so it was normal for them to go into the palace. When they learned that their uncle in the palace might be in trouble, they went to see him. Outsiders could not say anything but praised him for his kindness and righteousness.

If you don’t take such a trip, people will look cold-blooded.
