My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!
2134 Chapter 2134-past
When Gu Xin arrived at the palace, she immediately went to look for the Emperor.
little Xinxin, youâre here. Come and sit down! The Emperor was looking at the memorial. There was another person in the room whom Gu Xinmei had seen before.
âThis is Bai Feng, Baozhuâs guard. You know Baozhu, sheâs the only daughter of the King of Dong Lin. In terms of seniority, you should call her sister.â The Emperor pointed at the man and said.
âCommoner Bai Feng greets Princess Xinxin!â Bai Feng bowed to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin nodded and told him not to be so polite.
Without waiting for Gu Xin to ask, the Emperor told her everything.
This morning, he had received a report from the prefect of tai province. Those who knew about this matter, and now that Bai Feng had personally come, it was because the princess of the Donglin royal family, Bai Baozhu, was worried.
The king of Dong Lin fell sick before the new year. Everyone thought he couldnât get through it, but he got better in the first month of the lunar year. He spent the new year happily and played for a few more months. On the second of may, the king of Dong Lin was found dead in a secret chamber.
Up until now, the coroner from the government of Thailand hadnât checked the exact time of the death of the king of Donglin because the people in the mansion didnât allow it.
The king of Donglinâs surname was Bai. The Bai family had four sons and one daughter. His daughter, Bai Baozhu, was the youngest and was already 30 years old. She married into a noble family. Bai Baozhuâs husband was a mountain elder of Jiangnan college. Ten years ago, he passed the imperial examination and became a flower lover. However, he did not take up a position in the Imperial court. Instead, he returned to Jiangnan college and became a teacher.
The couple had a good relationship and had a son and a daughter.
Bai Baozhu was very worried about the king of Donglinâs illness, so she left Jiangnan at the end of April and brought her husband and children to Tai Zhou. She planned to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with her parents before returning.
They arrived on the first day of may, but when they arrived, Bai Baozhu still didnât see the king of Dong Lin. The princess of Dong Lin and her brothers all said that recently, the king of Dong Lin liked to go out and play. Sometimes, he would go out for a few days. In the end, the next day, the king of Dong Lin was found dead in a secret chamber.
The princess of Donglin and the four Bai brothers were determined not to let the Yamen investigate. They all said that it was a natural death, but Bai Baozhu was not willing.
However, she was already a married daughter, and the one making the decisions in the Wang Fu was still the Donglin wangfei, so she was in a deadlock.
Bai Baozhu personally went to find the Thai magistrate, but he couldnât even enter the Wangâs residence. The king of Donglinâs funeral couldnât be held under Bai Baozhuâs insistence. The body was in the coffin, and as long as someone came to offer their condolences, Bai Baozhu would say that her father died an unnatural death. The princess of Donglin and her sons couldnât afford to lose this face, so she asked the Thai magistrate to investigate, but she didnât allow the referee to touch the body.
The prefect of tai state had no choice but to report to the Imperial court.
Bai Baozhu was worried that the prefect had been bribed by her mother and brothers. When the emperorâs imperial edict came down, she might never be able to figure out the truth of the matter. Therefore, she sent Bai Feng to follow the people from the prefect of tai state to the capital to meet the Emperor.
Because Bai Baozhu was the only daughter of the King of Dong Lin, she was pampered since she was young. Her parents and brothers loved her and gave her the best. Even when she married, they chose the best man in the world for her. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She couldnât understand why her mother and brothers wouldnât let her investigate when her fatherâs death was obviously fishy.
âThatâs probably what happened.â The Emperor frowned as he recounted the incident.
Your Majesty, Iâm worried about my family. Gu Xin had decided to go to Thailand but she was afraid that her family would not allow it.
