The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 601: Live in admiration
Chapter 601: Admiration
“Mom! Please stop talking!” Fu Ruoxi said in pain.
Old Lady Fu ignored him and struggled to get up. The wound on her head burst open and blood oozed out from the fine cotton cloth. The dark red blood flowed in the dark and damp prison, winding on her face like a thin snake.
“Your Highness! My son is loyal to the emperor, but he is also a well-known filial son in the capital. He doesn’t want to die of old age, and he doesn’t want to implicate the entire Fu family, so he gave the queen the four words ‘wait for opportunity and act’, hoping to stabilize the queen and not to attack the Fu family! When all the soldiers were protecting Your Highness, he swung the sword at Your Highness, just hoping to die! He thought… if he died, the queen would not be able to use the Fu family to save the family and let the Fu family go!”
Old Lady Fu cried out, “Your Highness, think about it carefully. If my son is really an accomplice of the Queen and wants to assassinate Your Highness, he should have done it when no one else is around. Why did he draw his sword on the Crown Prince when the Crown Prince’s personal guards, the Zhenguo Princess, and all the soldiers of the Anping Camp are here?”
“Old Madam! Old Madam, please don’t say any more… We’ll talk about it later!” The prince patted Old Madam Dong’s hand.
Old Lady Fu shook her head and looked at the prince with tears in her eyes: “Your Highness! My son is too filial… Even if I die, I can’t let my life become a burden to my son! He dare not speak the truth! But my grandson and daughter-in-law are innocent, please… please save them! Spare their lives!”
Lu Jin stood aside, thinking quickly about what Old Lady Fu had said.
“Old Madam! Don’t worry, old madam! I have listened to your words! Just as you said… if General Fu really wanted to kill me, he would not do it when everyone is here! General Fu was forced by the Queen, I will definitely protect the entire Fu family! Don’t worry, old madam, the treatment is important!” After the prince finished speaking, he turned around and shouted, “Is Imperial Doctor Huang not here yet?”
Old Lady Fu grasped the prince’s hands with both hands and shook her head: “Your Highness… don’t bother me! I… I…”
Old Lady Fu held on to finish her story, but she could no longer hold on, and her whole body slowly went limp: “I… only ask for the Crown Prince’s protection, and my Fu family will… the whole family.”
After saying this, Old Lady Fu tightly grasped the prince’s hand and slid down.
“Old Madam!” The nanny beside Old Madam Fu knelt down crying.
“Doctor! Come on!” The prince quickly stepped aside and shouted to the doctor who was kneeling on the ground and shivering.
The doctor hurriedly knelt forward and took Old Lady Fu’s pulse with trembling hands. After a moment, he knelt down and kowtowed: “Your Highness… The old lady is gone!”
“Mother!” Fu Ruoxi panicked and banged her body against the prison door, “Mother! Let me out! Let me see my mother! Mother!”
The poison that Old Lady Fu took was a chronic poison in the Prince’s mansion, and she did it in order to frame the Queen.
Old Madam Fu knew that Fu Ruoxi could hear everything she said here, and she was using her own life to force Fu Ruoxi to admit what she said.
Unless, Fu Ruoxi values the Queen so much that after his mother risked her life to find a way out for the descendants and entire Fu family, he would overturn what his mother said and bring his own mother’s reputation… to a filthy place after her death.
Old Madam Fu understood Fu Ruoxi. With Old Madam Fu’s life, her reputation, and the livelihood of the entire Fu family at stake, the burden was too heavy. Fu Ruoxi… really couldn’t do it!
Fu Ruoxi is a soft-hearted person. In the past, he felt guilty towards the Queen because of the engagement, and now he feels even more guilty towards Old Madam Fu who lost her life.
“Mom!” Fu Ruoxi fell to her knees, bursting into tears.
Lu Jin had sorted out everything in his mind, and when he compared Old Lady Fu’s words… with the whole incident, the cause and effect became clear at a glance.
The matter of Old Lady Fu being poisoned is simple…we can ask the coroner to perform an autopsy.
But the dragon child in the queen’s belly was falsely accused of Fu Ruoxi? How could this be false accusation?
If Lu Jin remembered correctly, Fu Ruoxi returned to the capital and was summoned to the palace by the emperor on July 20th, and the queen was diagnosed with pregnancy in August. Although this was a secret in the palace, Lu Jin had heard a little bit from her wife…
It was said that the Queen’s period was at the end of the month, but it had not come until mid-August, so two imperial physicians were summoned to take her pulse. One imperial physician said he could not make a diagnosis, while the imperial physician Hu, who had been taking the Queen’s pulse, said it was a pregnancy pulse, but because the pregnancy signs were not good and the period was not yet early, he could not feel it, and it would be possible to feel it when she was a little further along in the period.
Could it be that… the Queen is faking her pregnancy?
“The old lady is very wise and righteous. I… will definitely protect the Fu family!” After the prince said this, he ordered the prince’s personal guards to use his own carriage to send old lady Fu back to the Fu residence.
Lu Jin accompanied the prince, standing at the gate of the Dali Temple prison, and watched the prince drive away with the body of Old Lady Fu.
The prince had long known that Old Madam Fu would die today, but… now as he watched Old Madam Fu’s body being sent away, and thought of what she said in the prince’s mansion, he couldn’t help but admire her!
Old Lady Fu had the courage and determination to negotiate with him, and when the time was right, she could also come up with this… method of dying alone to help him achieve his goal and preserve the entire Fu family. This is something that many men could not do.
The prince inexplicably thought of Bai Qingyan.
Hearing Lu Jin’s cough, the prince came back to his senses and said with a sad voice: “If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed Old Lady Fu to come to see General Fu. Old Lady Fu lost her life! But if Old Lady Fu hadn’t come, I’m afraid we wouldn’t know what role the Queen played in this!”
When he didn’t hear Lu Jin’s response, the prince turned to Lu Jin and asked, “Lord Lu, what do you think about this? Do you think what Old Lady Fu said is true?”
“Everything that Madam Fu said can be verified, except for the Queen’s pregnancy… I need the registration time of General Fu entering and leaving the palace, as well as the Queen’s pulse record, to compare with the record of Your Majesty staying at the Queen’s place.”
“Perhaps we need to ask a trusted doctor… to take the Queen’s pulse carefully and determine when the Queen became pregnant, or even whether the Queen is really pregnant or not, so that Lord Lu can draw a conclusion.” The prince said slowly.
“That’s right!” Lu Jin bowed to the prince.
“The registration book of General Fu’s entry and exit of the palace is here with me…” The prince stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Lu Jin, “I’ll have someone send it to Lord Lu later! The Queen’s pulse case… I can also ask the Imperial Hospital to cooperate with Lord Lu! There is also the record of your father staying at the Queen’s place, I can be of help!”
The prince frowned and sighed as he looked at the light spots on the ground from the lanterns of the Dali Temple prison. “But I can only diagnose the Queen’s pulse… The Queen is my mother, and I cannot disrespect her!”
Lu Jin knew the prince’s difficulty and said, “Perhaps, we can investigate this matter in detail when your majesty wakes up!”
“That’s the only way!”
After saying that, the prince suddenly turned around and saluted towards Lu Jin, which frightened Lu Jin so much that he knelt down.
The third update. March has just begun. My dear friends, let us work hard for the third place this month! Work hard for the explosive update!
