Chapter 1389: Morning Palace
Chapter 1389: Morning Palace
"You are still young, there are many things you don't know yet, you will understand when you grow up."
Whenever the adults wanted Cheng Youning to know something, they would use this sentence to evade Cheng Youning.
But Cheng Youning is not stupid. As long as the adults explain it clearly, he can understand, unless these people don't want to say it.
"My grandson is still young, but he is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he also attends court meetings diligently. He understands all the principles he should understand, and he is also aware of all the national affairs he should know. What else is there that he cannot know?"
"You can't get the answer from your grandfather, and your grandmother won't tell you either, so please go back, grandson!"
Zhong Siyu has been in a bad mood these past two days, and the smile on her face is forced. This half-dead Princess Zhuoyang poses a great threat to her. Being kind-hearted, she does not wish for her death, but she also does not wish for her life.
The replacement bride has been chosen, and Wan Lianxing's plan will not change. Even if Princess Zhuoyang survives, she will not be able to go to the Southern Yan Kingdom with her identity, nor can she return to Dalang. Her only way to survive is to stay in Fengqi.
Zhong Siyu didn’t think too much about what happened next, she could only leave it to fate!
"Grandma, my grandson doesn't want Bajiao to marry in his place. If I had known this, I shouldn't have helped Princess Zhuoyang." Cheng Youning felt regretful. No matter how good his relationship with Princess Zhuoyang was, it could not compare to Bajiao who had taken care of him for four or five years.
This was all caused by Cheng Youning. If he hadn't messed with Luo Lan, there wouldn't have been so many things happening later. Cheng Youning lost Bajiao, which was his own fault, but Zhong Siyu had another love rival in the palace for no reason. Not only could she not express her feelings, but she had to visit Princess Zhuoyang's bed generously. It was already bad enough for her, and now she had to comfort her adopted grandson, "Grandson, now that things have come to this, don't regret it."
"Grandma, please show me a clear path. I want to keep Bajiao by my side."
Zhong Siyu smiled faintly: "Little grandma also hopes that Princess Zhuoyang has not come to us to beg, and hopes that Princess Zhuoyang can marry to the Southern Yan Kingdom as promised, but now it seems that she really can't marry!"
Cheng Youning heard some information from Zhong Siyu's words, "Grandma, do you know the whereabouts of Princess Zhuoyang?"
Zhong Siyu didn't say anything.
It seems that Cheng Youning was right.
Cheng Youning stood up and bowed to Zhong Siyu: "Please tell me the truth about Princess Zhuoyang's whereabouts. I will find her and marry her to the southern Yan Kingdom, leaving Bajiao behind."
Cheng Youning begged and persuaded for more than half an hour, and finally Zhong Siyu said to him: "Go to Chenqing Palace to look for it!"
After getting a place to go, Cheng Youning hurriedly got up, said goodbye to Zhong Siyu, and quickly rushed to Chenqing Palace.
Chenqing Palace is extremely far away from Wankang Palace behind the imperial palace, and Cheng Youning took a long time to get there.
A team of guards stood guard in front of the cold and quiet Chenqing Palace. When they saw the prince trying to break in, they stopped him and said, "Your Highness, no one is allowed to enter the Chenqing Palace without the emperor's order."
Cheng Youning didn't take these people seriously at all. He used his agile martial arts skills and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Youning could always enter and leave any place in the palace with swagger, and the guards had no way to deal with him. They could only pretend not to see him. This man must not be offended.
In the cold and quiet Chenqing Palace, the only servants that could be seen were two palace maids. "Good luck to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Where's Zhuoyang?"
"Oh, Princess Zhuoyang is still in a coma!" The little palace maid did not doubt that Cheng Youning had entered by illegal means.
"coma?"
"In the morning, Imperial Doctor Li came to check Princess Zhuoyang's pulse!"
"Then why is the person still unconscious?" Cheng Youning continued speaking following the little palace maid's words. He wanted to know more, but he couldn't let the two palace maids see that he knew nothing about Princess Zhuoyang's situation.
The little palace maid had no defense against him at all: "Isn't it because Princess Zhuoyang is too much of a troublemaker? She was perfectly fine but she chose to commit suicide. I don't know if she really wanted to die or if she didn't know how to handle it well. When she committed suicide, the dagger was inserted too deep into her chest and she lost too much blood. It's hard to say whether she can wake up. Now we can only try our best and leave it to fate!"
No maid was willing to serve a foreign princess, and this little maid was the same. Cheng Youning could hear the impatience in her tone. But it was not the little maid's fault. If she didn't do that, they wouldn't have to serve a foreign princess here. No one would care about it except the queen. It was no different from the cold palace.
Cheng Youning's little head was working quickly. In just a moment, he already knew why Zhuoyang was in the palace and why she couldn't get married in person.
How to marry a dying person
"I'll go see her!"
"Inside, I'll lead the way for you!"
The palace maid walked in front, and Cheng Youning followed behind. In the huge bedroom, only Princess Zhuoyang was lying quietly on the bed, lifeless, with no trace of the former redness and radiance on her face. It seemed that she was really dying.
Cheng Youning reached out to feel her pulse, which was terribly weak. She was only a breath away from death.
Cheng Youning couldn't help but sigh, "You are so troublesome. Others stab others with their knives, but you stab yourself. You can't die here even if you want to. You are causing trouble for me. How can I go to see Bajiao? She placed all her hopes on me. I thought that if I found you, the problem would be solved, but you are lying here dead. This matter is much more complicated than I thought! How can I save Bajiao!"
Seeing that Princess Zhuoyang looked no different from a dead person, Cheng Youning had no choice but to get up and think of a new solution.
Seeing the listless Cheng Youning coming out of Chenqing Palace, Qiao Rong hurriedly went to meet him, "Your Highness, have you seen Princess Zhuoyang?"
Cheng Youning nodded!
"Then Sister Banana doesn't need to marry for me, right?"
Cheng Youning shook his head, "It doesn't seem that simple..."
After Cheng Youning finished speaking, Qiao Rong was completely silent.
"Qiao Rong, you are not blaming me!"
"Don't dare!"
"Then you're blaming me. I didn't want to do that. Who knew things would turn out like this?" Cheng Youning was already regretting it.
"Your Highness shouldn't have helped them enter the palace."
"You're right, but wasn't I loyal at that time? After all, I had known Zhuoyang for many years. She wanted to meet me and my grandfather before she got married. I thought it was no problem and agreed immediately. I couldn't have predicted what happened later!"
"Your Highness is interested in profit, right? If they hadn't sent you so many good things, would you have agreed to everything right away? I advised you at that time, and you listened. You can't lend the gold medal to anyone just for your own selfish interests! You are the crown prince, not one of those corrupt officials who try every means to make money for themselves!"
