: The Marquis’s Daughter 16
Chapter 1156: The Marquis’s Daughter 16
The emperor didn't care about the methods used by the prime minister's wife to deal with his illegitimate son and concubine, but since these methods harmed his own grandson, that was an unforgivable crime.
The prime minister's wife was thrown into the sky prison.
The prime minister finally realized what his wife had done.
The prime minister couldn't believe that his virtuous wife was such a vicious woman in private.
Poor his two bastards!
He had only one legitimate son, one legitimate daughter and three illegitimate daughters, and he wanted to have more sons.
It turned out that it wasn't that he had no son, it was all because of the Prime Minister's wife.
The prime minister hated his wife to death, and his eldest son asked him to plead with the emperor to spare her life.
The prime minister refused coldly and had his eldest son locked up.
The legitimate son was the heir he personally trained. He would not give up on him, but he would never allow him to have contact with his mother again.
In this case, one can imagine what happened to the Crown Princess when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all, she was his own daughter. The Prime Minister did not ignore the Crown Princess, but sent her to the temple and forced her to become a nun.
The Crown Princess herself knew that this was the best choice and did not resist at all.
The emperor and the empress selected a new princess for the prince.
The queen regretted her decision. Why did she choose such a stupid princess for her son?
Wouldn’t it have been better to choose Liu Shu, the second daughter of the Marquis’s family?
Liu Shu is indeed very outstanding. She is the best in etiquette, talent and appearance. Few other noble ladies can compare with her.
But unfortunately, she has already become a nun.
A palace maid said, "You can return to secular life after becoming a monk."
The queen had an idea and went to discuss it with the emperor.
The emperor also thought it was a good idea and decided to tell the people in the marquis's mansion about the news first.
The emperor called the marquis and gave him a hint.
The Marquis was excited, there was always light at the end of the tunnel!
His dream of being a prince grandfather can come true again!
The Marquis returned home and immediately went to find Zhang and told her the good news.
He thought that Zhang would be as happy as he was that her daughter became the Crown Princess.
Zhang was smiling on the surface, but she was thinking MMP in her heart.
As soon as the Marquis left, Zhang immediately asked her confidant to go to the Taoist temple to deliver a letter to Liu Shu.
Liu Shu felt like he had been fed a dog.
What’s wrong with this royal family that they even don’t let monks go?
Liu Shu wrote back to Zhang, put a few protective talismans in the envelope, and sent Zhang's confidants away from the Taoist temple.
Liu Shu immediately asked Chunlan to prepare for the ceremony. An hour later, he left two servants to guard the Taoist temple and took Chunlan away.
The people from the royal family and the marquis's mansion discovered that Liu Shu was missing, so the marriage was naturally shelved.
They didn't think that Liu Shu left just to escape the marriage, it was just a coincidence.
After all, in the eyes of the royal family and the marquis's mansion, becoming a crown princess is something that many women dream of. How could Liu Shu not be willing?
The royal family immediately forgot about Liu Shu, as there were still many other candidates.
Even if those women are not as good as Liu Shu, they are still qualified to be the Crown Princess.
The Marquis was so angry that he vomited blood.
Is he not destined to become the prince's father-in-law?
Damn it!
The Marquis really fell ill.
It wasn't because he was angry, but because Zhang attacked him.
Zhang could no longer tolerate such a husband, so she drugged the Marquis.
The Marquis never thought that Zhang would want him dead, and he had no defenses against Zhang at all.
The medicine in Zhang's hand was not a simple medicine, but a secret medicine from the palace of the previous dynasty.
Zhang's ancestors were related to the royal family of the previous dynasty, and those medicines were brought out from the palace of the previous dynasty by Zhang's great-grandmother.
Except for Zhang's great-grandmother, almost all the royal heirs of the previous dynasty were extinct.
The secret medicine of the previous dynasty was lost as a result, and only Zhang’s great-grandmother had some remnants.
Now they are all in Zhang's hands.
The imperial physician was unable to diagnose the secret medicine of the previous dynasty and thought that the marquis was ill. He prescribed the right medicine but it did not work.
The Marquis's illness was getting worse and worse, and Aunt Zhao took care of him by his bedside without taking off her clothes. She relied on the Marquis, and if the Marquis died, her life in the mansion would definitely not be easy.
The heir to the Marquis's Mansion has a grudge against her.
Even if her daughter was a princess, how could the heir to the Marquisate take seriously the princess of a disabled and idle prince?
Aunt Zhao desperately hopes that the Marquis will get better soon.
However, things went against one's wishes and the Marquis' illness became more and more serious.
Finally, the Marquis closed his eyes reluctantly.
Aunt Zhao was so sad!
Half for the Marquis, half for myself.
Liu Qinya returned home to participate in the Marquis's funeral and comforted Aunt Zhao.
But she never put herself in Aunt Zhao's shoes, and her consolation was dry. She never thought of taking Aunt Zhao to the palace to take care of her.
After all, there are too many secrets in Prince Mu’s Mansion.
Aunt Zhao gave Liu Qinya many instructions and looked like she was saying goodbye to her.
But Liu Qinya didn't notice it.
Not long after she returned to the palace, she received news from the Liu Mansion: Aunt Liu followed the Marquis and committed suicide.
Liu Qinya: Are Aunt Zhao and the Marquis so deeply in love?
Zhang heard the news and sighed, "Give him a proper burial."
She could understand Aunt Zhao's choice.
After all, Miss Liu did not hide her ill will towards Aunt Zhao.
Liu Shu received a message from Zhang and returned to the capital.
Although she is a nun, she still has to observe mourning for the Marquis.
After the Marquis's funeral was over, the Liu family closed their doors to observe mourning.
Liu Jin also returned to the Liu Mansion from the academy and would read at home afterwards.
He has already passed the provincial examination and become a juren.
After three years of mourning, Liu Jin will take part in the imperial examination.
With his knowledge, he should be able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
At this time, an epidemic broke out in the capital.
Zhang and Liu Jin had the protective amulets given by Liu Shu on them, so they were not infected with the disease.
This protective amulet also benefited the people around him, so that everyone in the marquis's mansion was fine.
This epidemic is very strange. It only spreads among the powerful and wealthy, while ordinary people will not get it.
In the entire circle of powerful people, only the Marquis' Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion had no one infected with the disease.
Liu Shu specializes in studying this epidemic.
She initially thought that this was caused by Prince Mu’s palace.
They thought that the two of them had poisoned the powerful people to create an epidemic.
Just like Zhang poisoned the Marquis.
But after examining several patients, Liu Shu discovered that it was indeed a disease, not a poison.
How do you describe this disease?
It's a disease of affluence!
In other words, only people who have oil in their stomachs and eat too much meat will get this disease.
It is not easy for ordinary people to have enough food to eat, so how can they have any extra money?
Therefore, some merchants' families would have people who got sick, but no one in the poor families would get sick.
Liu Heng: "..."
This disease is so strange!
Still picking people!
Could it be that God did this on purpose?
Liu Shu wrote down his discovery, and another letter appeared in the prince's study.
However, Liu Shu overlooked one thing.
The prince is one of the most powerful nobles, and he has a lot of money in his belly!
