In the afternoon of the same day, a strange incident came out on Gongchen Street, where the Yamen of the Criminal Department was located, Liu Yamen of the Criminal Department took a few people and invited several of the most famous doctors to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to treat the prisoners.

Later in the evening, a few officials took the name of Song Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and went to the Tai Hospital to invite the famous Dr. Mao Tai to go to the Criminal Department for consultation. For a while, rumors spread, and some people began to think of the assassination case of Luo Shiqiong the day before in the Criminal Department.

"Isn't that Luo Shiqiong dead?"

"Really? Otherwise, why did the Criminal Department invite so many doctors? Don't you still have a breath left? ”

"It's lively now, if that Luo Shiqiong hadn't died, I'm afraid the assassin wouldn't have been able to hide, Lord Song would be able to close the case soon!"

……

Humans seem to have a penchant for mysterious and uncertain things, but all such specious rumors can always spread to every corner with wings and the fastest speed, including a few princes, of course.

This night is destined to be a boiling night for those officials who are concerned about this case, or who are concerned about the government, because in addition to these voices of discussion spreading everywhere, there are also those involved who are ready to dedicate a big drama to the boring officials and ordinary people.

In the Heart Nourishing Palace, the queen, who had regained her calm, was standing at the door, indifferently looking at the prince kneeling in front of her. A human life really extinguished her anger, but the indifference after the anger was extinguished was thicker than before, and now even the figure of this biological son in her eyes is getting weaker and fainter, faint enough to dissolve all family affection.

"Let's get flat!"

The queen's unwavering voice came, which made the kneeling prince shiver.

The queen slowly walked into the dormitory, lifted the curtain and looked at the man who was still sleeping on the bed, still without any expression.

The footsteps of the people behind her still made the queen pause for a moment. She turned around and looked at the prince, and said in a voice that was cold enough to drop ice scum: "Song Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, invited Mao Chunming from the Tai Hospital to go to the Criminal Department for treatment. ”

The prince was slightly stunned, and didn't seem to react yet. When he thought that Mao Chunming was best at surgery, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he asked in a trembling voice, "That...... That...... Luo Shiqiong is not dead? ”

"Sure enough, it's you." The queen's voice was still calm, although the idiot's personal admission broke the slightest luck in her heart, but it still failed to cause any more waves.

The crown prince was hit hard. He suddenly realized what it meant if Mao Chunming was alive, it meant that the person with the knife would be exposed, and how long could he hide behind the person with the knife? As soon as the man lying in the room behind him woke up, all the disasters would befall him.

Afraid? Of course he would be afraid. A prince who has dreamed of being an emperor for twenty years is most afraid of losing his qualification to dream. But how long can he keep this qualification?

When he realized what he was about to face, he no longer had the same calmness and dignity as before, hugged the queen's thigh, and burst into tears, "Queen Mother...... Mother save me...... Save the child! The child is wrong...... The child knows it's wrong! ”

Watching those worthless tears crackle and fall, the queen's stone heart actually gave birth to a trace of weird comfort.

The crown prince was still crying there, and it was not until the queen finally got tired of it that she intercepted the annoying voice with a fluttering sentence: "Do you want your father to wake up earlier and punish you?" ”

The prince's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the queen with a pair of eyes that seemed to be frightened.

The queen pulled her leg out of the prince's bosom and shook her robe lightly, as if she wanted to shake off those cheap tears. She slowly turned around and walked out the door.

The prince shouted unwillingly: "Queen Mother, do you really care about the child? Don't you care about your position either? ”

The queen, who had already walked to the door, turned around and looked at the prince who was silent for a long time, and a cold indifference and alienation slowly condensed in the air, which made the two people present shiver involuntarily. In the end, the queen still spoke, with only one sentence: "If you fight a tiger, you will not die, but you will suffer from it." With that, she turned and walked away, never stopping again.

The prince sat slumped on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained. The strange feeling just now scared him, so scared that he almost stopped breathing.

Since birth, the queen mother has been his all his support, and it is also the most powerful support. Therefore, he has always lived as he pleases, even if he has to learn those boring affairs of the Li Dynasty to participate in politics, as long as he can cope with the past, because his powerful queen mother will help him take care of everything.

But just now, the faint feeling of the queen mother frightened him, for he felt that the bond of connection with his mother was being broken, and he was as frightened and hesitant as a weaned child, and this hesitation had not dissipated until now, and had even swelled even more in this empty hall.

He put his hands on the ground, struggled to his feet, and staggered to the chair and sat down. The tea in the cup was already cold, and he shivered to get the teapot, but the long tension made his hands lose strength, and the teapot shook in his hand a few times, and fell to the ground with a "pop", shattering, and the splashed dregs left a deep scratch on his pale hand.

The noble father-in-law outside the door saw that the queen was gone, and was hesitating whether to go in. Suddenly, there was the sound of something falling inside. He hurriedly pushed the door open and broke in.

When the prince saw the sudden appearance of his father-in-law, he let out a long breath, and the cold feeling gradually dissipated, and his limbs gradually warmed up and regained some strength.

Your father-in-law took a few steps forward, looked at the bloodless prince on his face, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

The crown prince gasped again before he spoke, "This palace is fine...... Oh, you go to the East Palace and call the crown princess. ”

Your father-in-law nodded in agreement, looked at the strange prince worriedly, and then went out backwards.

After a while, a few more cleaning maids cautiously walked in and cleaned the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The prince looked at the few people who came in and out, and the feeling of being in hell gradually disappeared. The prince looked out into the deeper night, and a strong feeling of loneliness enveloped him tightly.

At this moment, a beautiful and graceful pink-dressed maid walked in and placed a new set of tea sets on the table, her green fingers gently slid over the teapot, and handed a cup of warm tea to the prince.

The prince took the tea, but did not let go of the jade hands, the soft touch accompanied by the warm feeling of the cup made the prince's cold heart quickly warm up. Yes, he needed that feeling right now, a feeling that would make him feel alive and in control.

He pulled the palace maid into his arms, pressed his cold and dry lips, and grinded and gnawed frantically on the palace maid's soft and warm lips.

The palace maid screamed in fright, but the cry was blocked by the other party, and she could only make a "hmm...... Yes...... Hmm". How did she, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, know that this kind of voice is for a man in a mania, and spring? Medicine is no different, it can only provoke the other party to make more crazy moves.
