Chapter 949: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Seventy-one)
Song Qingting sulked in the cell. She pounded the cold stone wall and cursed herself for being cowardly. She didn't even have the courage to ask the Dali Temple Minister to avoid other people and talk to him alone, for fear that the Dali Temple Shaoqing would suspect that she was hiding a secret.
She comforted herself, forget it, after Dai Yao married into the Ye Mansion, the prince's crime would be even more serious, having an affair with a young woman, and this young woman was the eldest prince's cousin's wife. Who knew what the prince's intentions were, was he trying to plant a traitor on the eldest prince's side?
Two years later in his previous life, it was revealed that the grandson of the Ye family was the Crown Prince's illegitimate son. This incident led to many ministers impeaching the Crown Prince. The Emperor hesitated and ultimately decided to depose the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince refused to accept this and chose to abdicate. The eldest prince ran to the palace to rescue him, but was instead chopped off his right arm and blinded by the eldest prince. The Emperor spared his son's life and confined him to the cold palace, but not long after, the deposed Crown Prince died suddenly, and the eldest prince withdrew from the battle for the throne.
Song Qingting kicked the uneven ground and cursed the prince in her heart. This despicable villain must be the culprit who murdered the Fourth Prince.
She desperately wanted the crown prince to be deposed quickly! Two years was too long!
At the same time, she clearly understood that everything had changed since her rebirth. There had been no horse racing in her previous life, and she had not been thrown into prison so soon.
Song Qingting couldn't help but feel like backing out. Did she really have to risk everything and marry the Seventh Prince? What if the Seventh Prince couldn't become emperor? Wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
...
The Dali Temple Minister rubbed his brows. The time to solve the case within three days was too tight. Several princes were involved, and the case would be difficult to solve.
At this time, a minor official came in and whispered a few words in the ear of the Dali Temple Minister.
The tired look in the Dali Temple Minister's eyes instantly dissipated, and he warned, "Be careful not to get discovered. Send a few more people to keep an eye on them."
After the clerk left, the Shaoqing asked if there had been any progress in the case. The Dali Temple Minister stroked his beard and said, "Perhaps there has been some progress, but it's not clear yet. There should be new information tomorrow."
Shaoqing responded with a smile, but there was a different look in his eyes.
The next day, the Dai and Ye residences were decorated with lanterns and filled with joy. However, due to the woman's injury and the Fourth Prince's incident, both families kept a low profile and reduced the number of events. Both families were well-known in the capital, and many dignitaries came to offer their congratulations, though it was inevitable that everyone would whisper a few words.
It is somewhat unlucky for a bride to be injured on the eve of her wedding.
Dai Yao sat on the bridal bed, her face filled with displeasure beneath the veil. She had finally married into the family. She had originally thought that since she was injured, the marriage could be postponed, but since both families had been preparing for it for so long, canceling it at the last minute would be a joke. So, she had to marry into the family despite her injuries. "Miss, your leg is still injured. Why don't you lie down for a while and wait for the son-in-law to come in. I'll call you later."
Dai Yao's feet really hurt. She cursed the eldest prince's wife in her heart. When she heard the maid calling her, she said unhappily, "Who are you calling me brother-in-law?"
The maid hurriedly whispered to her, "Miss, you've already married Young Master Ye, so you should break up with the Crown Prince. You got injured after going out with the Crown Prince. If someone finds out about your relationship with him, you'll be in danger."
Dai Yao touched her belly and told the maid to shut up. She knew what she was doing and had the support of the prince. What was she afraid of?
Dai Yao thought about the prince who could support her. Now he was looking at the Ye Mansion from afar in the East Palace, his eyes full of unwillingness. That was his woman, but he could not marry her openly.
"Your Highness, the little prince has a high fever and won't go away. The Crown Princess asks you to go and see him."
"If you're sick, go find the imperial physician. What's the point of finding me? She's always sick. How can she be a mother? It's better to leave Rui'er to be raised by the queen mother."
The servants around the Crown Princess were scolded and sent away by the Crown Prince.
The prince was holding a green purse in his hand. The sight of the purse reminded him of his son, and after a long while, he walked towards the courtyard where his son was.
The Crown Princess held her son's thin little hand and spoke up for him. She cried and coaxed her son who was crying in pain. Her son had been sick frequently since birth, and the imperial physician said that he might not live past the age of fifteen.
The Crown Princess didn't believe it, her son would accompany her for the rest of his life.
When the prince came in and saw his son's purple face, he scolded the princess for not taking good care of him.
"Rui'er is sick, and I have been staying with her all these days. When Rui'er wanted to see her father, where were you?"
