Chapter 60: The Death of the Ten Princes
At this moment, it was raining lightly outside, soaking the stone green path underground, and raindrops were slowly dripping from the eaves.
Shen Yunche heard him say that Jing'er was fine, and his hanging heart fell, but when he heard him say "it's just" again, his heart became panicked again, and when he heard him say that Jing'er had a fetal gas, his face was full of worry, "Then how to treat it?" ”
Imperial Physician Liu's face was full of respect and courtesy, "Back to Your Highness, Weichen will write down the prescription, just send someone to grab the medicine!" ”
Shen Yunche urged impatiently, "Why are you still stunned?" Don't go ahead and write it yet! He growled.
Imperial Physician Liu was stunned by this roar, he reacted, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Weichen will write it immediately." ”
The subordinate put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and Imperial Physician Liu immediately wrote the prescription and handed it to Shen Yunche.
Shen Yunche handed over the prescription to Jing Yi, and instructed a few words with unease, "You personally follow the above prescription to grab the medicine, and after you grasp it, come back and decoct the medicine yourself, don't leave half a step halfway, and bring it over immediately after the decoction is done." "If it's anyone else, he doesn't bother to care so much?
Shen Yunche didn't worry about anyone, after all, if someone wanted to harm Jing'er and the child in her belly, even if he took precautions, there would still be someone who would be empty. Only when Jing Yi personally went to grab the medicine, personally guarded the decoction, and brought it in person, he was relieved.
However, judging from this incident, Shen Yunche really trusts Jing Yi very much, after all, this kind of thing is related to Su Miaojing's life and his heirs.
But he took every precaution, but he still made people specialize in loopholes, and almost caused Su Miaojing's child to be unsafe, but fortunately, Su Miaojing was disgusted with the medicine and took the opportunity to pour the medicine. Except for some last night, Su Miaojing poured all the other medicines, so she took the tocotosis she made, and the tocolytic medicine she made herself was in the shape of a small pill, so that it was not so bitter.
Jing Yi couldn't understand the master's worries, and there was more than one person who wanted to harm the princess. He was grateful for His Royal Highness's trust in him, and at the same time, he also hoped that the princess would get better soon, otherwise it would be the master who suffered. Of course, the child in the princess's womb must not be lost, this is the first child of the prince, and he is the little prince or the little lord of the Yue Palace.
It was already dark, but the rain did not stop, and the sky occasionally heard a few sounds of thunder and lightning, and the sound of the autumn wind rustling the trees, blowing off the dead leaves, and wreaking havoc in all directions.
In the palace at this moment, after Shen Yunze worshiped his mother, he was ready to leave Fenglin Palace.
I saw his personal guard, Xuan You opened the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and followed him not far away, even the clothes behind him were wet, and he didn't care.
When he walked into the imperial garden, he saw a person standing on the railing of the gazebo in front of him, and the figure was still a child, but his back was to him, and he couldn't see who it was.
He was full of doubts, thinking in his heart, such a heavy rain, it was still so late, and the banquet had already ended, there should be no one in this imperial garden, how could someone stand motionless in such a dangerous place.
Xuanyou, who followed behind, was also full of curiosity, who was that? He was still standing on the fence on this rainy day, motionless.
Shen Yunche walked into the pavilion and came to the side of the figure, and saw clearly who the person in front of him was? His face was full of horror, because the person in front of him was his tenth emperor brother, Shen Yuncheng.
He stretched out his hand, just touched his shoulder, and the person was like a kite with a broken string, and in an instant his body deviated, fell to the railing, and his body tilted again, and fell under the water of the pavilion.
This scene happened to be seen by the palace maid passing by the corridor, and she was so frightened that she kept screaming, "Dead, dead, murderous......" She ran away in fear while screaming.
At this time, Xuanyou's face was full of anger, so he went to chase the palace maid, Shen Yunze said indifferently, "Don't chase it!" ”
Shen Yunze instructed Xuan You to scoop up Shen Yuncheng's body.
Shen Yunze felt bad since he just saw the face of the Ten Emperor Brothers, when he touched his body, there was no warmth, just like after a person dies, it is so cold and cold.
He immediately understood that this was probably a ploy set up for him by someone to jump into the trap.
The person behind this curtain is really vicious, not only can he frame me, the prince, but also get rid of a competitor, presumably this matter must have been done by one of his brothers, but the woman in this harem should also be implicated, after all, the mother concubine of the ten emperor brothers, Ji Yi, is extremely favored by his father, and some time ago he was promoted from Zhaorong to a concubine, only a little worse than the queen.
There are four concubines in this country, the noble concubine, the lady concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the Hui concubine. Concubine Shu died more than ten years ago, since then, there are only Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui in the palace, as well as the queen mother, as soon as the queen mother died, everyone thought that the father would choose the queen from the concubine and concubine, but a month ago, the father suddenly decreed that Zhaorong Niangniang and Ji Yiyun were crowned concubines, so there was one more concubine in the palace.
Before Concubine Shu died, her father swore in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs that he would never crown anyone as a concubine in this life, and even if Concubine Shu died, he would never give anyone else this title. Because in the eyes of his father, the title of Concubine Shu only belongs to the fifth brother's mother, and no one else is worthy.
He didn't understand the deceit and intrigue in this palace, but the tenth emperor brother was still so young, only six years old, and he was killed like this.
He swore that he would never let the traitor's tricks succeed, and would definitely seek justice for the Ten Emperor Brothers.
At this moment, the palace maid, who was frightened and screamed in fear, ran to the imperial study in a panic and told the emperor the truth about it.
She actually cried loudly, and said as she cried, "The slave maid saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with her own eyes, and pushed His Royal Highness Ten down from the pavilion and fell into the lotus pond. The tone was affirmative, as if I had really seen it with my own eyes.
Shen Ye sat on the dragon chair and didn't say a word, his face was deep and cold and arrogant, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, staring straight at the palace maid, exuding a fierce momentum, as if he was judging the truth of her words.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say a word, the palace maid was so frightened that her face was as white as paper, and her body trembled.
The emperor suddenly said, "Take her down to me and keep her under strict care!" ”
Then the maid was taken down.
Then, his tone was calm, "Wei Shun, go and find the crown prince for me, I want to ask him face to face!" "It seems that when I heard that my son was dead, I didn't have the slightest heartache. It's just that there is a hint of sadness in his eyes, but he doesn't show it easily.
At this time, Ji Yiyun heard the news, and was very sad, and immediately came to the pavilion in the light rain. I saw a small body on the ground of the pavilion, covered with a cloak on it, which Shen Yunze had covered his body before leaving. Seeing the cold corpse underground, Ji Yiyun was sad from his heart, his face was full of tears, and his voice was as desolate as this autumn rain, "Cheng'er, you wake up, it's the queen mother, Cheng'er ......" Sad, painful, and cold lamentation, like this autumn rain, makes people listen to sadness.
Because this is a royal case, although the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have the power to punish and execute, but it is for ordinary people, if it involves the death of the royal child, it must be the three divisions, that is, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to jointly solve the matter. Therefore, at this time, the pavilion stood Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Qi Jun, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Tong Hu, Yushitai Yushi Dafu, Tang Anping.
Qi Jun is still wearing the ink-black official uniform of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the whole person is radiant, his eyes are like torches, and he is full of righteousness, and his personal guard is holding an oil-paper umbrella for it in the back. His face was full of solemnity, as if he was wondering if the Ten Princes in front of him were killed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as rumored.
As soon as the news of Shen Yuncheng's death spread, it immediately fermented in the palace compound, and even outside the palace had already heard the news, and the time was only two hours. I don't know who leaked the news, the emperor tightly sealed the news, but the news still spread, whether someone did it on purpose, or the other party had a bigger conspiracy.
He involuntarily looked at the sky and sighed, I don't know if he was sighing that it was raining, or sighing that the young Ten Princes died like this, and complained about him.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Tong Hu, a middle-aged man in his forties, his eyes were half-narrowed, his face was dark, staring at the corpse underground, not knowing what he was thinking? As for him, he also has an umbrella for him, but he is an old man.
Doctor Yu Shi Tai, Tang Anping, with heavy eyes on his face and a worried face, was thinking about the ins and outs of this case. On the side was the servant who gave him an umbrella, and he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Ji Yiyun's heart was in pain, his body was weak and weak, and he fainted to the ground as he spoke.
At this time, Shen Yunze was not in the pavilion, he had already gone to the imperial study, he knew that his father would definitely come to summon him, so he came to the imperial study in advance.
