Chapter 98
When she entered the palace again and saw Zhao Dezhao, Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but be taken aback, it was really too much of a change. Although Zhao Dezhao said that his appearance is not as good as Zhao Defang, he has been pampered for so many years, and he does not look old, and he can be regarded as a handsome and chic handsome guy, but now, he is more than ten years old, and he is nearly thirty years old, and now he looks like forty, and he even has white hair.
Zhao Defang really couldn't bear it, and he spoke with a little distress: "Second brother, you have to take care of yourself, think about your mother, think about Liuhua, think about the imperial sister-in-law, and the child in Chen Jieyu's belly, as well as the people up and down the Song Dynasty, second brother, you must not be like this anymore." โ
Zhao Dezhao smiled bitterly, how could he let go, when the second prince passed away, he could comfort himself, he was frail and sick, maybe it would be better if he didn't stay in this world and suffer, and he could deceive himself like this. But when the eldest prince passed away, Zhao Dezhao couldn't stand it, did he not do a good job, so God wanted to punish himself, and he didn't even keep an heir for himself, so he had to see that he cut off his children and grandchildren.
"Second brother, it's not that you can't give birth, in the future, maybe the eldest prince can be reborn as your son?" Zhao Defang comforted, and the Empress Dowager Song also sighed on the side, and died two sons one after another, no wonder Zhao Dezhao couldn't stand it.
"Fourth brother, don't persuade me, I know." It took a long time for Zhao Dezhao to speak, and he cheered up: "What regulations do you have for the funeral of the eldest prince?" โ
"After all, the eldest prince is young and can't stop his spirit, I have already chosen a cemetery, and I can bury it tomorrow." Zhao Defang hurriedly said, in fact, according to custom, the eldest prince is not even qualified to enter the ancestral tomb, after all, he is too young, but who let the eldest prince be Zhao Dezhao's own son, or the eldest son, naturally he can make an exception.
As he was talking, he heard a cry outside: "Official, I want to see the official, my son is not sick and died!" Someone is trying to harm me! โ
Zhao Dezhao's face immediately changed, and Queen Wang smiled bitterly: "After the eldest prince died of illness, Bai Jieyu couldn't stand it and fainted crying. โ
"Let her in." The official family was silent for a while and said, the yellow door outside immediately sent Bai Jieyu in, Bai Jieyu's face was haggard, and her hair didn't know how many days she hadn't taken care of, just like covering her head, in the past, Bai Jieyu liked to wear plain clothes the most, when the eldest prince was sick, in order to make the eldest prince happy, she specially begged the queen, and the big red she wore turned dark red, and she didn't know if she hadn't changed it for a few days.
Seeing Zhao Dezhao, Bai Jieyu immediately pounced over and knelt in front of Zhao Dezhao: "Official, my son didn't die of illness by himself, in this palace, how can smallpox appear in a good place, and it just so happened that my son was infected, someone must be trying to harm my son, ask the official family to find out carefully and give my son justice." โ
As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously to the ground.
Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but glance at Queen Wang in surprise, this Bai Jieyu looked different from the past, but it was not the same at all. These words, although they can't be regarded as reasonable, but they also have some meaning, and people suddenly become calm when they look at it, is it possible, they are really beaten hard and become smarter?
Queen Wang didn't say anything, she didn't want to meddle in this matter. How many people in this palace can harm the eldest prince? The eldest prince is dead, who has the most advantage? No matter how you look at it, she is the most suspicious, especially when Chen Jieyu also died of a son. So, she couldn't open her mouth either.
"Do you have proof?" Zhao Dezhao frowned and spoke, Bai Jieyu was stunned for a moment, shook her head, but her eyes fell even more: "Although I have no evidence, I know that the eldest prince is sick this time, and there are many things wrong in it. Why is my son the only one who died? Official, I beg you, give my son a clear and upright, give me a peace of mind, please. โ
Empress Dowager Song sighed on the side: "In that case, Dezhao, let's check this matter and see if anyone is making trouble in it, if there is, it is also an explanation to my poor grandson, if not, so that Bai Jieyu can rest assured." โ
said that it was to give Bai Jieyu a peace of mind, but it was actually a chance for the queen to clear her suspicions. If you don't investigate it, the official family may not suspect the queen now, but after a long time, this matter may become a thorn in the heart of the official family, and maybe it will grow up slowly in the future.
Empress Dowager Song took pity on Queen Wang, so she asked for this opportunity. As long as Queen Wang is innocent, this matter will definitely give her an innocence, and it can also dispel all kinds of speculation and doubts in the hearts of the officials.
Queen Wang also stood up and saluted: "Official, my mother is right, although the eldest prince is ...... But we have to at least give him an explanation, the person who harmed him has to pay for the life of the eldest prince, but the candidate for this investigation, the mother is old, it's not good to worry, in order to avoid suspicion, I built yรฌ, no one in this harem is allowed to interfere, but this matter can't be brought to the front to say, so as not to damage the face of the official family, so, I thought, it is better to ask the fourth brother to help, and investigate this matter to the ground. โ
Jiao Wanwan frowned, a little unhappy, this matter is just a โกโก annoyance, and it will be difficult to get out if it is stained. If nothing can be investigated, then it is better to say, if something is really investigated, Zhao Defang will not be able to do it.
But the people in the clan, Zhao Guangyi's lineage has completely fallen silent, and even Princess Li doesn't come out and walk around much. Zhao Guangmei's vein is even more down, Zhao Guangmei drinks and sleeps all day long, and she probably can't get down to business. The princesses are all married, and they are all outsiders, counting and counting, it seems that except for Zhao Defang, there is really no one else who can take over, but on the contrary, this is not a good errand.
Zhao Dezhao looked at Zhao Defang, there was some expectation in his eyes, Zhao Defang sighed, and arched his fist: "If the imperial brother can trust me......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Dezhao patted him on the shoulder: "In this world, if anyone can make me trust with all my heart, it is only you, fourth brother, this matter will be handed over to you, no matter what the result is, I have to let the eldest prince reincarnate with peace of mind." โ
Bai Jieyu also turned around, knelt at Zhao Defang, and kowtowed a few times, but Zhao Defang was frightened, and hurriedly got up and retreated: "Don't, I can't stand it, since the imperial brother trusts me, give me a few days, I will definitely investigate carefully." โ
Jiao Wanwan was worried about the two sons in the family, and she couldn't help with this matter, so she left the palace and returned home in the second half of the ring. Zhao Defang stayed in the palace and took away the people who were waiting in the palace of the eldest prince, although they were all henchmen sent by the official family in the past, but people's hearts are easy to side, what if there is a traitor in the middle?
Zhao Defang didn't come back at night, Jiao Wanwan sighed, and went to coax the stinky boy to sleep, the girl was still young, and she didn't understand the concept of a dead person at all, while playing with toys, she was still thinking about the eldest prince in the palace: "For the eldest brother, keep it." โ
Jiao Wanwan's heart was sour, she almost didn't cry, although she and the eldest prince were not very close, but they had also seen it, and they had also hugged and coaxed the Empress Dowager Song, it was really a very well-behaved and obedient child, white and tender, very cute, why was it gone in a blink of an eye?
Hey, if it's really an accident, it's okay to say, but if it's not an accident, then the palace is indeed too terrifying. After going through so many years, except for the fear of being torn apart by the Jiao family before getting married, and then being tied up and burned, Jiao Wanwan felt scared for the first time, so quietly, she killed a child, and the person who did it was really a little too ruthless.
The next night, Zhao Defang came back, looking very tired. Jiao Wanwan was very distressed, and hurriedly asked people to bring soup, and when Zhao Defang finished eating, she hurriedly persuaded him to go to sleep: "Things can't be done, you have more rest now, your spirit is good, your spirit is better, and your mind is clearer, so that you can find out what is greasy here, sleep for a while, I'll wake you up in an hour, okay?" โ
Zhao Defang waved his hand: "I'm not sleepy, this matter has almost been decided." โ
Jiao Wanwan blinked, what do you mean almost? Yes is yes, no is no, can it be said almost?
"There are clues, but no evidence." Zhao Defang said shortly, and Jiao Wanwan was even more surprised: "There is a point? To whom? It has nothing to do with the imperial sister-in-law, right? Jiao Wanwan didn't want to doubt her own vision of looking at people, if Queen Wang was really ruthless, she would not have befriended Queen Wang all these years.
"On the bright side, it refers to the queen and the king." Seeing the anxious and worried look on Jiao Wanwan's face, Zhao Defang didn't hide it, and hurriedly said: "Actually, it is directed at Chen Jieyu, and even the death of the second prince is suspicious." โ
Jiao Wanwan opened her mouth, a little unable to react: "You mean, Chen Jieyu can even do it to her own son?" "Is this still my mother?
"The second prince was already frail and sickly, and back then, the imperial doctor also said that if he took care of it well, he could live, but he could not stop using medicine all year round." Zhao Defang sighed, a medicine jar, it is impossible to ascend to the throne, and he is not the eldest son, for Chen Jieyu, it is not very important.
first used the death of one son in exchange for Zhao Dezhao's guilt and distress, and then took the opportunity to conceive the second one. After determining that the second one was a boy, he immediately attacked the eldest prince, in order to let his son occupy a long word, and by the way, push the suspicion on the head of the queen, and he could not change the queen, but he could strip off the power of the queen. Then, she Chen Jieyu can become the first person in the harem with a son.
Jiao Wanwan's hairs are about to stand up, this woman is too calculated, right? She had found out all the scapegoats, but she hadn't thought about what if her son didn't stop? Isn't it for nothing that he has opened the way for others?
"No, the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose that Chen Jieyu's belly was a boy, how did she diagnose it herself?" Jiao Wanwan reacted suddenly, and Zhao Defang frowned: "The person the Chen family is looking for, it is said that he is very good at giving birth. โ
