After Shui Xiao was appointed as the crown prince, the poisoning symptoms of Emperor Longzheng and Empress Shen entered the most dangerous period of internal organ damage. Severe symptoms such as jaundice, liver pain, bloating, nausea, dizziness, and headache begin to appear.

Yuan Chun, who had just given birth to a child for less than two days, asked people to carry him in a soft chair to diagnose the pulse of the emperor and the queen, and instructed the imperial doctor and Xu Feiying to give the emperor and the empress needles, which moved the emperor and empress so much.

Emperor Longzheng said groggyly: "I heard that you want to cultivate virtue before, but I always half-believe it. Now that I see you like this, I am convinced! ”

Yuan Chun thought to himself: You are worthy of being a creature like the emperor, you are really suspicious enough! said with a smile in his mouth: "I can be convinced by my father, Yingzhou Sansheng is lucky!" ”

Empress Shen held her hand and said, "Don't patronize me and the emperor, you have to take care of yourself!" Don't boil out the root of your illness in confinement and suffer a lifetime of sin! Life and death are fate, I am over the age of six, and I have been a queen for so many years, this life is already worth it! You're still young, don't hurt yourself for me! ”

Yuan Chun shook Empress Shen's hand with some emotion, and said with a smile: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry about me. I know it in my heart. ”

Don't worry! She self-diagnoses with the medical system several times a day and is really recovering well!

In the traditional concept of this era, it is completely fatal for a confined woman to dare to get out of bed, dare to go out, dare to see the wind, etc., and will leave a lifetime of illness! And Yuan Chun even breastfeeds by himself, which is even more tired, which is very hurtful......

But in fact, it is best for a woman to get out of bed as soon as possible after giving birth, and it is best to breastfeed as soon as possible. If you really can't go out at all, how can a modern woman go home after giving birth in the hospital? I haven't seen many mothers fall into confinement disease because of this! On the contrary, in her previous life, she had seen the news of "covering the confinement" according to the old tradition, but she was covered with heat stroke and died!

About ten days later, Emperor Longzheng and Empress Shen passed the dangerous period one after another and slowly began to recover!

When Yuanchun was out of confinement, Emperor Longzheng and Empress Shen were able to let people support them and walk slowly. This time they were poisoned, their vitality was greatly damaged, and they were no longer young, and they needed to slowly recuperate in the future to recover their previous physical condition.

On this day, when Shui Xiao finished his busy affairs and came to Zichen Palace to ask for peace, Emperor Longzheng asked him: "Has the government been straightened out?" ”

Shui Xiao smiled and said: "Thanks to my father's blessing, there is no major military affairs for a while, and the government has been basically straightened out!" ”

"Just straighten it out!" Emperor Longzheng was silent for a while, and asked lightly, "During this period of my illness, have you checked how I and the empress were poisoned?" ”

Shui Xiao bowed down and said: "I secretly checked and found out some information." However, because he did not get his father's will, he did not pursue it openly, and the suspects and others only secretly monitored and were not arrested. ”

Emperor Longzheng was silent again, and sighed: "Now that my body is much better, you have straightened out the government...... Investigate the matter secretly. Check quietly, don't let the minister know! ”

"Yes!" Shui Xiao's request for Emperor Longzheng was not surprised. Over the years, no matter how fierce the fight between their brothers has been in private, Emperor Longzheng has been trying to maintain the appearance of a heavenly flesh and blood father, filial piety, brother, friend and brother.

Within two days, Shui Xiao came to report: "The poisoning of the father and the queen mother, the sons and daughters have generally found out." Judging by all the signs, it seems to be ...... Fifth brother mastermind! ”

Emperor Longzheng's face was indifferent, and after a long while, he said: "Quietly bring the prisoner to the Tai'an Palace, and try it there!" I'm going to hear it with my own ears. Don't keep this out of the way, I don't want to make a fuss......" he sighed and didn't continue.

"Yes!" Shui Xiao bowed down and agreed, smiling slightly in his heart. Now, you can take revenge!

Tai'an Palace is Shui Xiao's temporary residence today.

After being canonized as the crown prince, Shui Xiao was supposed to stay in the East Palace. However, because the East Palace has been sealed in the dust for more than ten years, it is somewhat dilapidated, and it is difficult to live for a while, so Emperor Longzheng pointed to the Tai'an Palace for Shui Xiao to live temporarily.

Emperor Longzheng was helped into the main hall of Tai'an Palace, and was crooked on a soft couch behind a screen.

Shui Xiao sat on the main seat of the main hall and instructed Ming Se: "Bring Lu Shen in!" ”

In just over a month, Lu Shen, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, seemed to be ten years older, with a lot of gray hair on his sideburns, and his cheeks and eye sockets were cut off.

"Minister...... Lu Shen, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, see His Royal Highness the Prince. Although Lu Shen saluted calmly, he couldn't control his slightly trembling body.

"Lord Lu, there is something unclear in this palace, and I want to ask for advice." Shui Xiao said straight to the point, "When the crown princess concluded that her father and mother were poisoned by the Bailuo umbrella, why did you still insist that it was cholera?" ”

Lu Shen knelt on the cold floor tiles, his voice trembling a little: "Minister...... The minister is not proficient in learning and art, and misdiagnoses...... misdiagnosed the illness of the emperor and Niangniang! ”

"Not good at learning? Do you now admit that you are not good at your craft? Why did you stay the course in the first place? Come, tell Hongu: What did you think at the time? Do you think that your medical skills are better than those of the crown princess? Shui Xiao took a moment and asked with a little sarcasm, "Where does your confidence come from?" ”

"Don't dare! Minister...... The minister is just confused for a while! Lu Shen Khan was like a pulp, and he couldn't speak, so he had to kowtow again and again, "The minister is confused!" Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness! ”

"Lord Lu, you might as well wait for a while if you beg for mercy! You still haven't answered Bengong's words: At that time, why did you dare to ignore the crown princess's medical skills? Shui Xiao's voice suddenly turned stronger, and he slapped the startling wood that he had specially asked Ming Se to find on the table, making a loud noise, "Say!" ”

Lu Shen trembled in fright: "No! Don't dare! The minister never dared to ignore the crown princess's medical skills! ”

"Then why do you dare to doubt the crown princess's diagnosis?"

"Minister...... Chen just didn't dare to admit the misdiagnosis! Lu Shen defended in a panic, "Yes! Chen just didn't dare to admit the misdiagnosis! ”

"But don't you just admit it? After the crown princess cures her father and mother, can you still escape the responsibility for the misdiagnosis? Shui Xiao then asked, "Are you looking forward to the death of your father and mother, so that you can say that the crown princess misdiagnosed the situation and turn the situation around, right?" ”

Lu Shen instinctively found a reason to refute: "The minister didn't! Minister...... Don't dare! Minister...... The minister just dragged on for a while! ”

"When?"

"Minister...... Chan just wanted to...... I want to have a chance to explain the future! ”

"Lu Shen! You still want to quibble? Shui Xiao said sharply, "Didn't your two unpromising sons be tied up a long time ago?" To whom do you give an account? Guess what, are your two sons still alive? ”

Lu Shen raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shui Xiao in disbelief.

Shui Xiao sneered: "You wonder how Bengong knows?" On that day, the crown princess had already said that her father and queen mother were poisoned by the Bailuo umbrella, but you still insisted that it was cholera, and the palace was suspicious at that time! How do you have the confidence to dare to argue with the crown princess's diagnosis? It's just that at that time, the father and the queen mother were sick, and the palace didn't have the time to interrogate you, so they only asked people to stare at you! After the condition of the father and queen mother improved, the palace asked someone to check, and only then did I know that your two unpromising sons had already been kidnapped! The time when they were tied up happened to be the day of the Dragon Boat Festival! ”

He picked up a case file from the table: "Coincidentally, a few days ago, Shuntianfu finally cracked the case of Heng'an plotting to assassinate the palace with poisonous snakes and submitted the case file!" Hengan was originally a servant next to the palace, because the people in his family were kidnapped, so he was instructed by someone to assassinate the palace with a poisonous snake. Shuntianfu took the kidnappers and dug up the bodies of the kidnapped family members of Heng'an. According to the autopsy, Hengan's family members died miserably! I don't know if it's a coincidence or an inevitability, this group of kidnappers also happens to be the ones who kidnapped your two sons......"

He picked up a few pieces of paper from the case file, shook them lightly in his hand, and looked at Lu Shen coldly: "Lu Shen, you might as well guess: your two sons...... Still alive? ”

Lu Shen's eyes widened, staring at the few shaking pieces of paper in Shui Xiao's hand. If he hadn't had any reason left, he would have pounced on the papers and snatched them up!

"See for yourself!" As soon as Shui Xiao's fingers were released, the pieces of paper fluttered down.

Without waiting for those papers to land, Lu Shen, who was originally kneeling on the ground, had already jumped up quickly and grabbed the papers. He shook his hands and quickly read the contents of the paper, and the whole person was like a clay wood carving, completely stupid.

"Lu Shen, I'm afraid you're going to die!" Shui Xiao said coldly, "Did the person who instructed you to deceive the monarch tell you that he didn't plan to let your family live in the first place?" Haven't you ever thought that after the deed is completed, your family will be wiped out?! ”

"Hahahaha......" Lu Shen suddenly went crazy and laughed. While laughing, his tears rolled down like beads of broken thread.

Shui Xiao smiled at him. When Lu Shen's laughter stopped, he asked, "Now, do you have anything to say?" Is it a confession? Or continue to help your killer hide it? It doesn't hurt if you continue to hide it, this palace has prepared the torture equipment, and it will definitely entertain Lord Lu well! ”

"I'll recruit! I've got everything! Lu Shen said with tears in his eyes, "It's Prince Yizhong!" …… No, it was the Fifth Prince Shui Hail who instructed me! He kidnapped my two sons and forced me to do that! ”

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Shen was on duty at Tai Hospital.

Early the next morning, before it was time to change shifts, a little eunuch named Xiaoshizi from the Tai Hospital suddenly brought him a small bag. Inside the bag were the belongings of his two sons, two handwritten letters, and two toes. Xiaoshizi told him that at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet, the emperor and queen and all the ladies had been infected with cholera, and after letting him enter the palace for diagnosis, just drag Jia Yingzhou into the palace and top the tank!

He thought at that time: Jia Yingzhou is about to give birth, and if he enters the palace to deal with the cholera epidemic at this time, he is only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. But his two sons were in the hands of the other party, and he had to obey the other party's instructions and suggest to Emperor Longzheng to summon Jia Yingzhou into the palace. And Emperor Longzheng didn't think much about it, so he agreed!

While waiting for Jia Yingzhou to enter the palace, Xiaoshizi asked him to insist on his diagnosis, and he would not let go of his mouth if it was cholera. Only then did he know that the plan of the group was far from being so simple, he had a preconceived idea, and was misled and misdiagnosed by this little pebble!

After Jia Yingzhou entered the palace, he really overturned his diagnosis and concluded that it was Bailuo umbrella poisoning rather than cholera. However, he had to continue to insist that it was a cholera diagnosis.

Later, he found an opportunity to question Xiao Shizi: "When Jia Yingzhou cures the emperor and the queen, my misdiagnosis is ironclad evidence, and it is difficult to refute it." Are you trying your best to frame me, an insignificant hospital counselor, for misdiagnosis? ”

Xiao Shizi smiled at him at that time, and the smile was extremely terrible: "Therefore, Lord Lu must not let the emperor and queen be cured!" As long as the emperor and queen die, it will be Jia Yingzhou who is misdiagnosed, not you! ”

Then Xiaoshizi forced him to do tricks in the medicine of the emperor and empress! He also told him that as long as the emperor and empress died, the seventeen princes would be guilty, and the third prince was seriously ill, and the emperor's throne would naturally be the fifth prince! He was forced to be helpless, and he fell deeper and deeper, so he could only agree to do tricks in the medicine of the emperor and queen.

But after King Zhaohui brought medicine into the palace, he advised the emperor: Everyone is paired in pairs, and no one is allowed to act alone at any time, even if they go to the thatched house, they have to watch each other! When decocting the medicine to boil the soup and deliver the soup and medicine, you have to be in a group of four people to monitor each other, and if there is a difference, the four people will be punished together. He was forced to pair up with a physician who had never been very harmonious, and his movements were limited at every turn, and it was impossible to find an opportunity to do anything about it. Xiaoshizi, who had been watching over him all the time, was also forced to pair up with another eunuch, and was sent another errand and was never able to give him any instructions.

Later, Prince Yizhong probably saw that the situation was not good, so he used the power of the prince to branch out the imperial doctor who was paired with him, and personally coerced him again. But where did he find a chance to start?!

Later, the situation changed abruptly, Jia Yingzhou gave birth, King Zhaohui was canonized as the crown prince, Prince Yizhong was imprisoned by Gejue, and the pebble suddenly disappeared.

On the one hand, he was worried about what he would do if his misdiagnosed charges were confirmed, and on the other hand, he was worried about the situation of his two sons, and he couldn't stop worrying, but he could only resign himself to fate!

"Bring the pebbles in!" After listening to Lu Shen's confession, Shui Xiao gave a faint order. Ming Se, who was guarding the door, beckoned into the distance, and several stout eunuchs walked in with a sluggish little eunuch, it was the small pebble.

Shui Xiao smiled and said, "Xiao Shizi's behavior is suspicious, and he was denounced by the eunuch who was paired with him!" ”

The small stone is an important chess piece of the five princes, and now in this situation, he can only confess. According to his confession, all this was instructed by the water hail!

Emperor Longzheng was crooked on the soft couch behind the screen, quietly listened to the process of Shui Xiao's trial, and asked for the case file of Shuntianfu to see.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, tears welling up in his eyes.
