My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! Chapter 2134-past

2134 Chapter 2134-past
When Gu Xin arrived at the palace, she immediately went to look for the Emperor.....
little Xinxin, you’re 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.
“This is Bai Feng, Baozhu’s guard. You know Baozhu, she’s the only daughter of the King of Dong Lin. In terms of seniority, you should call her sister.” The Emperor pointed at the man and said.
“Commoner Bai Feng greets Princess Xinxin!” 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 couldn’t 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 hadn’t checked the exact time of the death of the king of Donglin because the people in the mansion didn’t allow it.
The king of Donglin’s 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 Baozhu’s 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 Donglin’s 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t even enter the Wang’s residence. The king of Donglin’s funeral couldn’t be held under Bai Baozhu’s 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 couldn’t afford to lose this face, so she asked the Thai magistrate to investigate, but she didn’t 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 emperor’s 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.
She couldn’t understand why her mother and brothers wouldn’t let her investigate when her father’s death was obviously fishy.
“That’s probably what happened.” The Emperor frowned as he recounted the incident.
Your Majesty, I’m worried about my family. Gu Xin had decided to go to Thailand but she was afraid that her family would not allow it.
