It turned out that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother, on the grounds that she was afraid that the fourth prince would suffer some poisonous hand again, was stingy with the empress even for a night when the mother and son spent time together, and directly ordered the palace people to pack up the things commonly used by the four princes and send them to Cining Palace, and then left the Chengqian Palace with the fourth prince in her arms.

After all, it was also an existing idea to raise the four princes, and before, Cining Palace did not prepare all the items for the princes.

When the Queen Mother left, the Queen Mother stood at the door expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Or maybe they didn't think about anything.

The cold wind mixed with rain and snow blew down on the eaves, and then slowly fell, forming a snow-white chasm outside the temple gate that could not be crossed.

Along the way, the Queen Mother carefully protected the four princes, fearing that the four princes' illnesses would recur, and she also deliberately brought a doctor who was proficient in pediatrics.

Shielding the wind and snow with the silk brocade curtain on the edge of the phoenix, I was afraid that he would catch a cold again and aggravate his condition.

If it is because of the Queen Mother's insistence that something happens to the four princes, even if she is the Queen Mother, I am afraid she will be to blame.

Under the care of the Queen Mother, there was no major problem on the way to Cining Palace, and even after entering Cining Palace, after the imperial doctor took the pulse, the condition of the four princes was also stable.

No one expected that the palace maids who had arranged to serve the four princes before and after the Queen Mother had just laid down on the soft silk quilt bed, closed their eyes, and were ready to go to bed. The most powerful aunt beside the Queen Mother suddenly came with news: The fourth prince is not good.

In winter, in addition to the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Mingjing, the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother is the least lacking in carbon.

Every month, Emperor Mingjing commanded that everything should come to Cining Palace.

Therefore, there is always no shortage of good silver silk red Luo carbon in Cining Palace.

Every winter, Cining Palace is always warm and dry, and Chinese New Year's Eve is no exception.

But no one knows, it is because of this that the four princes were sent to hell alive!

Never underestimate the secret medicine in the hands of the palace concubine.

The mother concubine of the virtuous king Li Zong, Concubine Shun has a secret medicine from the Liao Kingdom in her hand, which she occasionally obtained in her early years.

It was this medicine that allowed Concubine Shun to deal with many obstacles and stumbling blocks silently, step on the flesh and blood of the enemy step by step, and ascend to the position of the favorite concubine!

In the end, the chess was a bad move, and he didn't calculate the mind of the first emperor, in the end, it was to create and make people, otherwise it is not known who is in charge of the world today!

Now, this medicine naturally fell into Pei Yunruo's hands.

In fact, this secret medicine itself is not very magical, but the earthwork used to treat livestock in the Liao Kingdom was obtained by Concubine Shun, and a few flavors of medicine were added to it, and it became a killing weapon.

If it is proposed for a separate test, it will definitely not be seen, because none of these medicinal herbs are mutually reinforcing.

Medicine is good medicine, and when it is together, it becomes a deadly poison.

The effect of the secret medicine is actually very simple, but it is just an aggravation of the condition in the ordinary sense.

Under the lingering heat, the effect of the medicine is stronger and better.

No one can guarantee that their body will always be healthy, free of disease and pain, let alone in the harem where they can be cured without illness.

In the original book, the rest of Concubine Shun's secret medicine was used by Pei Yunruo on the queen, and after the queen's body was broken step by step, she gradually fell into the eyes of the queen mother, and the queen mother completely gave up the queen who did not leave an heir, and fully supported Pei Yunruo and helped her ascend to the throne of the concubine.

Now, this secret medicine is used on the four princes born by the queen, and it can be regarded as destined in the dark.

When Pei Yunruo made up his mind to use the secret medicine, he began to specify a strategy.

After thinking about it, he still arranged a simple wind chill for the four princes.

In this kind of weather, even if the little master of the palace concubine is not careful, she will be infected with wind cold, let alone a child who is only one year old.

The moonlight in winter is not as clear as in summer, with a hazy mist, and in the darkness, as if it is covered by a huge curtain, it is not really visible.

This night, the Queen Mother naturally didn't have the mind to wake up until dawn.

"Mama Wang, have you found anything?" The Queen Mother asked lightly, her eyebrows and eyes, which have always been kind and kind, looked quite hideous under the flickering candlelight.

Mama Wang said, "If you go back to your mother, the four princes are indeed infected with wind cold, but it is not wind cold in the ordinary sense. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, and the rosary in her hand rolled, "What do you say?" ”

"Niangniang, do you still remember the death of Concubine Rou back then?" Mama Wang's voice echoed in the palace at night, with the unique hoarseness of the old man, as if it shook people's hearts.

The Queen Mother said in a slightly reminiscent tone, "Concubine Rou, that was a character many years ago. ”

That was when the first emperor was in power, and Concubine Rou was a beauty paid tribute by the surrounding small countries, just like today's Yun Fangyi, but her status was lower.

The complexion is captivating, the figure is enchanting, the dancing posture is graceful, the singing voice is as crisp and pleasant as the yellow warbler, and there is an inexplicable seductive meaning.

With an original flying fan dance, he won the favor of the emperor in one fell swoop.

stayed in Concubine Rou's Feitian Pavilion for several months, and the harem concubines complained in private, and even the Queen Mother, who was just a concubine back then, also had a lot of complaints.

This is also one of the reasons why the Queen Mother does not like harem women to be alone.

Later, Concubine Rou Niangniang, who was in the middle of the day, suddenly died for some reason, and disappeared on the stage of the harem.

The Queen Mother put down the ginseng tea and said, "I heard that Concubine Rou occasionally felt a cold, so she couldn't afford to get sick......

So far, I don't know the cause of Concubine Rou's death, and I can't find the main messenger behind the scenes.

No one would believe that Concubine Rou died because of a cold.

Mama Wang nodded and said, "That's true, the slave maid has also heard of the symptoms of Concubine Rou's infection with wind and cold, and the symptoms are the same as those of the fourth prince......

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sneered, "It seems that the concubine made a move, I don't know who is so bold!" I was not satisfied with the delicious food and drink, and I actually stretched out my hand to the royal family, which is too long? ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "Still water, clean up for the mourning family, the mourning family will go to the Fengxian Hall to pray for blessings......"

The Qianqing Palace is always warm.

In all corners of the dormitory, there are copper cloisonne smoke cages of the same size and exquisite texture.

In winter, there is not the slightest smell of fireworks, only the warm heat gradually lingers throughout the dormitory.

Emperor Ming Jing was dressed in a middle coat, only wearing a navy blue fox fur, standing by the window, his face was solemn, obviously he already knew the news of the death of the fourth prince.

The snow outside the window drifted in along the window, and some of it landed on the edge of the window, gradually melting, turning into flowing water, and the end of the snow fell on the vermilion edge of the window.

Before the emperor went to bed, the eunuch naturally had to wait beside him.

Huang Shun has been bent over his waist, holding his breath and concentrating, for fear of touching Emperor Mingjing's moldy head.

Huang Shun, who has served Emperor Mingjing for many years, naturally knows that serving his master at this time is not half a point afraid to be too distracted.

After a long time, a man in black quietly appeared at the desk, knelt on one foot, and bowed.

"Can you find out?" Emperor Ming Jing asked.

Obviously, this time Emperor Mingjing is really moving.

It's not like the last time the "queen was born prematurely", just ordered it and left it behind in a blink of an eye.

The man's voice was rough and ugly, and it was extremely clear in the empty dormitory, "Back to the master, the reason for the cold wind of the four princes is that a second-class palace maid beside the queen, Lan Cao, secretly put a piece of ice in the swaddling clothes of the fourth prince when everyone was not paying attention......"

"Who is the master behind the blue grass?" Emperor Ming Jing asked again, his voice was flat, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

"Minions...... The minions are incompetent and have not been able to get definite news for the time being. ”

"What is the cause of the recurrence?" Emperor Ming Jing asked again.

The man said, "Cining Palace has enough charcoal to supply the four princes, and the servants can't determine the reason......

As the man's voice fell, the atmosphere in the dormitory became more solemn, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Emperor Mingjing closed his eyes.

The death of the fourth prince is the culprit, and he has doubts in his heart.

In terms of motivation, Pei Yunruo is the most likely.

After all, everyone in the palace knew that it was the queen who killed her child, and it was a common method among palace concubines to pay for a life.

Emperor Mingjing knew Pei Yunruo's temperament, and if Pei Yunruo was in charge of this matter, he couldn't move the queen at present, so Zhong Cui Palace was watched by his people inside and out, if there was any trouble, Emperor Mingjing would definitely know.

If it's really Pei Yunruo......

There was no way he didn't know.

As soon as the four princes die, who will get the most benefits in the end?

There is only the prince's faction, and the family of the previous dynasty.

The crown prince's faction can silently dispose of a potentially noble prince, just breaking a few nails, and anyone will do this deal.

Thinking of this, Emperor Mingjing thought of Su Zhixian's face again, smiling and groaning, calm and graceful.

It's still the way it looks in my memory.

Also, Duanrou Guifei and Prince Li Chengze.

They were very close during this time.

The prince regularly greeted Duanrou Concubine every day, and never fell one day.

If he could, he didn't want to suspect Empress Ming Xiaoyuan's sister-in-law and her only child.

Then, there is only the family of the previous dynasty!

The family itself is not terrible, what is terrible is the collusion of the family.

Emperor Ming Jing can imagine how many of tomorrow's excerpts are talking about the death of the four princes.

Could it be that the imperial examination system really doesn't work?

For the first time in his life, Emperor Ming Jing had doubts about himself.

It is not that I doubt whether the imperial examination system is really beneficial to the country and the people, but whether it is suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was born in a peasant uprising, fought all the way from the north to the south, and then ruled the world.

The founding emperor was also generous.

After the establishment of the new regime, he gave many titles to his brothers who had been following him in the southern and northern wars, and it can be regarded as truly "having a bite of meat from me, and a mouthful of soup from yours is absolutely indispensable".

After counting the "unloading the mill and killing the donkey" in the history books of the past dynasties, etc., the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty is considered good.

It is precisely because he is so freewheeling that he has led to the current situation.

The family behind the former heroes has evolved into today's family after hundreds of years of operation.

Now, the family has taken root in Daming, if it is a pot, Daming is afraid that he will kill a thousand enemies and hurt himself by eight hundred.

When the time comes, the surrounding small countries will come to take advantage of the fire to rob, and this good Ming Dynasty may be defeated in the hands of Emperor Ming Jing.

Was his decision really wrong?

Emperor Ming Jing sighed deeply.

He would never allow the inheritance left by his ancestors to be lost in his hands like this!

If the early death of the four princes this time is really a warning given by the family......

Emperor Ming Jing frowned, this time it was the fourth prince, wouldn't it be him next time?

It seems that they were always too tolerant before.

"But what has been tried?" Emperor Ming Jing asked about the blue grass.

The man lowered his head, respectfully handed over a piece of paper with dense ink, and said, "This is a confession." ”

Emperor Ming Jing took it and looked at it slowly little by little.

Suddenly, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

According to Lan Cao, the mastermind behind the scenes is Duanrou Guifei!
