When Xie Mulin heard this, he finally settled down.

"It's good that the fourth prince is safe and sound." Xie Mulin said to Zhu Rui, "I haven't been able to inquire about any news these days, and I don't know how worried I am, I'm afraid that the fourth prince's body will be bad, and the emperor will be determined to abolish the reserve, and finally ask the third prince to take advantage, then it will be really disgusting!" You and the Yan Wangfu, one is counted as one, and they all have old grudges with the three princes, if he really gains power, can you still live a good life? Even if it's for our future, we can't give him a chance to take the position! ”

Zhu Rui didn't expect Xie Mulin to be so vigilant about the Third Prince, and smiled slightly: "The Third Highness is still anxious about Xiao Niangniang's affairs now, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do anything." The emperor has long since dispelled the idea of making him the prince, how can he go back? The third prince is indeed narrow-minded and grudgeful, but as long as he can't control the power, he can't be unfavorable to the Yan Wangfu. You can rest assured of that. ”

Thinking that the third prince in his previous life became the ultimate winner, how could Xie Mulin really rest assured?

She couldn't directly express the worry in her heart, so she had to turn a corner and remind Zhu Rui: "I don't know if you found out how the four princes were poisoned?" Who was the poisoner? Since he can make this ruthless move, I'm afraid that there will be follow-up actions, so you have to be careful! Now the body of the fourth prince can't be said to be very healthy, you need to be cautious that person poisoned again! ”

Zhu Rui also put away his smile when he heard this, and said, "We won't ignore this matter lightly!" Now the whole of Beiping Mansion has been on guard, beware of people with suspicious identities entering. Although the Forbidden City is isolated from the outside world, no one should try to sneak in easily, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have a bad idea about things such as medicinal herbs and food. Besides, in a few days, when the honor guard of His Royal Highness arrives in Beiping, he will still appear in front of outsiders, and he will accompany the Queen Mother and receive the orders of all the clans and officials. No one knows if there are any suspicious people among these people, but the Fourth Highness can no longer be poisoned again. The poison is extremely powerful, and if you hit it again, I'm afraid that the gods will be incurable! ”

However, the Queen Mother, the eldest princess of Yongning, Zhu Rui, General Xiao Yuan, and the whole Yan Palace, have not yet found out when and where the four princes were poisoned. They could only conclude that his poisoning should be after leaving the palace by the imperial doctor before the fourth prince left the palace and confirmed that he was healthy and unharmed. After seeing the Imperial Doctor, to be exact.

During that time, the four princes did not have much contact with people, except for the emperor, the crown prince and the third prince who came to see them off, they were the people who waited in the queen mother's palace or in front of the emperor. Although there were quite a few officials present at that time? But there was basically no chance to get close to him. He also did not drink tea and eat, and there was no possibility of poisoning through drinking water. And his own entourage, which should be reliable. Since he didn't go to Putuo Mountain? But the fact that he went north directly with the Queen Mother has not yet been exposed? Can he pack tickets for his henchmen? Make sure that none of them are the murderers who secretly murdered him.

The queen mother felt that the palace maids and the eunuchs around her were all reliable, let alone the imperial doctors, if they hadn't found out that the four princes were poisoned? I'm afraid that no one will find out about this fact? By the time the four princes are officially poisoned, it will be too late! The Queen Mother once talked to the eldest princess of Yongning, saying that she was lucky to go north this time? Quietly brought a little grandson? Otherwise, the four princes went to Putuo Mountain according to the emperor's original arrangement? Didn't find out you were poisoned? I'm afraid that the real gods will not be able to save it.

When did the poison first strike? It's a bit like you're infected with a chill? Then it gradually became like chickenpox. If it wasn't found out by the imperial doctor that it was poisoned, after the four princes were poisoned, most of them would be misunderstood by the attendants around them as just having chickenpox, and even if they were not treated in the end, they would only be reported to the palace? It was an unexpected illness that no one expected. Who would find out that he was poisoned? Wait until the emperor is angry with the attendants around the four princes? Putting them to death for poor waiting? There won't be a single clue left. The real culprit behind the poison? I don't know how to snicker in the dark!

Xie Mulin frowned and listened to Zhu Rui's words, and couldn't help but ask him, "Who do you think is more likely to be poisoned?" If the crown prince doesn't seem to have this mind and scheming, what about the three princes? Could he be the one who poisoned him? It just so happened that he appeared again at the send-off ceremony. ”

Zhu Rui paused? lowered his voice: "Frankly speaking, as soon as I knew that the Fourth Highness was poisoned, the first one to suspect was the Third Highness!" But...... The Queen Mother thinks that this poison is more like the handiwork of the Cao family. There was once a favored palace concubine in the palace, but she died under similar symptoms. The Empress Dowager has always suspected that Empress Cao did it, and once told the emperor. I don't know what the emperor said to Empress Cao, and there has never been such a thing since then. Although Empress Cao is now dead, she has been operating in the palace for a long time, and she must have left a lot of eyes and ears. These people will only do what she tells them to do, and even if she dies, they will still complete her plans during her lifetime. Lin Zhaoyi and Xiao Guifei were previously involved in the assassination of Empress Cao, and their reputation was discredited, so the secret operation of these people is indispensable. Therefore...... Even if the crown prince has no intention of harming the Fourth Highness, Cheng Enhou intends to retreat, it does not mean that the forces on the side of the East Palace will really stand by and watch the Fourth Highness become the new prince and take away the status that belongs to the prince. ”

As for the third prince, without the support of the Xiao family, he is really still a rookie. Maybe he has this ruthlessness and this scheming, but he doesn't have this ability, and he doesn't have so many subordinates. Zhu Rui was indeed wary of him in his heart, but the elders around him all believed that it was the East Palace's subordinates, and he had no reason to disagree with others. Moreover, there are some things, the more clearly they are investigated, the more suspicious they become in the East Palace. Now he can only tell himself that he can't sway his objective judgment of the situation because of his selfish grievances against the three princes.

Xie Mulin listened to Zhu Rui's words, and he could only die for the time being.

The third prince is very suspicious, but he was the ultimate winner in his last life, which does not mean that the crown prince and the Cao family are innocent. The reason why they were unlucky was that they did something to harm the four princes and angered the emperor?

Xie Mulin sighed: "Since the forces behind the East Palace are the most suspicious, then the emperor's side, after getting the news, take advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother and the four princes are not in the capital, and hurry up to deal with the matter of abolishing the reserve first, right?" Is the prince still holding on? Does the Cao family mean to help him? They probably won't be willing to give up their storage positions and lose the opportunity to make a comeback in the future, right? ”

Zhu Rui smiled faintly: "The Cao family is unhappy, but the situation is stronger than people." All that is left of his family is connections, but there is not much real power left. As long as his family takes the initiative to back down, the emperor will not persecute his family too much for the sake of his posthumous name. But if his family doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and does any big rebellious act, so that the emperor has a reason to condemn him, those who have inherited the grace and wisdom of Chengen Gong have nothing to say. After all, there are many fewer people who are willing to be traitors than those who are dedicated to being loyal ministers. ”
