However, in exchange for His Majesty's very severe reprimand, fines, dismissal, and finally, Zeng Zhao could only continue to be in charge of the Ministry of Officials in vain.

The matter was so deadlocked for three months, and things changed dramatically.

Suddenly, there was an astonishing news from the palace.

The two princes suddenly fell ill at the same time, Zhao Ban was three years old after all, plus Empress Dowager Zhu and Cai Dao took care of him very well, therefore, his small body has always been very good, and he has never been sick once since birth, so Xiao Zhao Ban was very sick this time.

And the little prince Zhao Mao has also been having a high fever, he was only three months old, although the food is much better than the average child, but after all, people have poor immunity.

The physical condition of the little prince Zhao Mao is more serious, and he has also been having a high fever, but he has only been born for less than three months, and his natural immunity is poor.

This news, how not to worry Zhao Xu, Empress Dowager Zhu, and Liu Jieyu!

At this moment, the palace is already in chaos.

All the princes and the ten princesses were ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhu to be locked in their own bedrooms, this is not what the Empress Dowager Zhu wants to do, but to protect them.

Zhao Xu is like a crazy tiger, and no one dares to persuade him. The two heirs were sick one after another, and the imperial doctors in the palace were also scolded by Zhao Xu for being a dog with blood, and they were prostrate on the ground one by one, and no one dared to speak.

Zhao Ban's problem was easily solved, and the three-year-old child was able to control it with medication and cure his condition. However, Zhao Mao's problem is very difficult to solve. For a child who is less than three years old, his disease is already very difficult to treat, not to mention, which imperial doctor dares to give medicine to the baby?

This irascible mood had already begun to spread throughout the palace.

After the ministers learned the news, they all hurried to the palace before the palace gate was locked, met with Zhao Xu, and tried to persuade the officials.

These important ministers of the dynasty are courageous, and at this time, those who can stand up are real warriors.

Because of the issue involving the heir, no one wants Zhao Xu to continue to go crazy like this.

After everyone's persuasion, Zhao Xu also calmed down a little and returned to his bedroom to rest.

"Liang Shicheng, tell me what is the reason why my two princes can get sick at the same time." Zhao Xu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep at all, and at this time, he naturally had to ask his cronies, who were also the head of the Imperial City Division.

As soon as Liang Shicheng heard Zhao Xu's question, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a voice that Zhao Xu could just hear: "Your Majesty." There is nothing abnormal in the two palaces. The Queen Mother has always been the Queen Mother who takes care of the eldest prince herself, except for the ten princesses who often come to see the prince, no one else enters the Queen Mother's bedroom, and nothing wrong happens. As for the little prince, the queen mother has always watched very closely, except for her cronies, outsiders can't even enter the little prince's bedroom, and no one else can interfere at all. Therefore, the slave and maid are not very aware of the situation of the little prince. ”

"What about Meng?" Zhao Xu remembered that the Queen Mother personally allowed the Meng family to visit the eldest prince Zhao once a month. He had to suspect that it was very likely that Meng was responsible for this matter.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid tell the truth. Zi Cai ...... Ah, no, since the beginning of winter, the Meng family has not entered the palace again, went to the queen mother's bedroom to visit the eldest prince, the people of the Imperial City Division have been secretly monitoring Meng's every move, during this time, the Meng family has indeed been meditating in the Taoist temple, neither going out, nor meeting anyone. Liang Shicheng replied honestly.

However, there is a sentence that Liang Shicheng seems to have leaked, and Zhao Xu obviously heard it.

"That's it!" Zhao Xu shouted angrily in a low voice.

"No! Please forgive Your Majesty, the Meng family did not enter the palace again after Cai Daochang was imprisoned. ”

"What is the reason for this?" Zhao Xu asked puzzled.

In fact, for this reason, except for Zhao Xu himself, almost everyone else in the palace can understand Meng's approach.

It is known that Cai Dao is at odds with the new Empress Liu. Now that even Cai Dao has been imprisoned, no matter how stupid the Meng family is, he doesn't dare to enter the palace.

Because of the big case of the charm, Empress Dowager Zhu also changed her attitude towards the Meng family, she knew that the only person who could help her inside and outside the palace was Cai Dao.

If she continues to see the eldest prince Zhao Ban, it doesn't matter if she harms the Meng family, but Empress Liu may take the opportunity to secretly use poison and even kill her son.

But Liang Shicheng never dared to say this sentence in front of Zhao Xu, he could only pretend to be stupid and replied: "Your Majesty, how does the Meng family think, the slave and maid really don't know." ”

"Rubbish!" Zhao Xu could only scold Liang Shicheng with these two words, but he himself now knew that the two princes suddenly fell ill at the same time, and they couldn't rely on Meng's head anyway.

"By the way, it won't be anyone, let my two children meet!" Zhao Xu suddenly thought of this possibility.

There is no more suitable reason to do so.

"This ,......" For a while, Liang Shicheng didn't know how to answer the official's question. He complained in his heart: Your Majesty, you can really do it, since you believe in Cai Daochang's words, why do you have to put him in prison?

"What, Liang Shicheng, do you have any clues?" Zhao Xu thought that Liang Shicheng was stumbling and didn't dare to say anything, so he asked.

"Well, Your Majesty, it's very unlikely that you're going to say that. The Queen Mother and her old man have always trusted Cai Daochang, and the queen mother and Cai Daochang are not in harmony, but once the comfort of the little prince is involved, the queen mother will definitely not let the two princes meet in line with the idea that she would rather believe it than believe it. Speaking of this, Liang Shicheng suddenly thought of a possibility.

The possibility of the two princes meeting directly is almost none.

However, if someone secretly puts the personal belongings of any one of the princes in the bedroom of the other prince, or even the prince's side, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

And those who have this ability, in the harem, there are only three people.

The official family was directly excluded.

Empress Dowager Zhu, but her old man would definitely not do this.

This is because even if Empress Dowager Zhu no longer likes Empress Liu herself, the little prince is also the heart of Empress Dowager Zhu. She wouldn't secretly harm her grandchildren.

The last person is Empress Liu.

And it's very likely.
