In the blink of an eye, the date of the trip is reached. Luan drove all the way to the capital, and went to the suburbs.

When he arrived at the palace where he stayed, Xie Yanhe went to the side hall without having time to rest, and watched the palace people pack up Chen'er's things with his own eyes.

He and Wei Zhao hurriedly had lunch, and after freshening up, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep.

……

Xie Yanhe had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by Pearl's throat.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, no, the nurse found a poisonous insect on the little prince's bed, and the little prince was stung and never woke up......"

Xie Yanhe woke up suddenly, she suddenly got up from the bed, and before she even had time to put on her shoes, she brushed Wei Zhao, who was sleeping outside, away and rushed out of the hall barefoot.

"Sleep!" Wei Zhao was shocked and angry, he was still wearing a bedclothes, caught up with Xie Yanhe in a few steps, picked him up by the waist, and shouted, "Take the queen's embroidered shoes." ”

Wei Zhao wrapped Xie Yanhe in a cloak and strode towards the outside of the hall.

Pearl hurriedly chased after him.

Wei Zhao's face sank like water, and there was a terrifying chill around his body, like thunder descending into the world, as if he could shatter everything in this world into powder.

Xie Yanhe kept trembling in Wei Zhao's arms, she pinched Wei Zhao's arm tightly, and the nails of her fingers sank into Wei Zhao's muscles, and she didn't realize it.

……

When she arrived at the side hall, Xie Yanhe pushed Wei Zhao away and threw herself in front of Chen'er's bed, when she saw the dark green little face in the brocade quilt, her aching heart shrank, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Xie Yanhe sobbed and said, "Chen'er, Chen'er...... My poor child......"

Although Wei Zhao was also heartbroken, as a wise and wise emperor, he was much calmer than Xie Yanhe.

Wei Zhao's oppressive gaze fell on Yin Juanbai, and he said sharply, "How is Chen'er?" I want to hear the truth! ”

Yin Juanbai had just given the little prince the secret medicine for detoxification, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the palace people found out in time, the little prince was only bitten by a poisonous insect, and immediately took the antidote pill. After about an hour, the little prince will wake up. As long as the little prince recuperates for half a month, he will be able to recover as before. Weichen dares to guarantee that the little prince will not leave a hidden disease in the future. ”

Yin Juanbai knew what the emperor wanted to hear the most.

At this juncture, Yin Juanbai did not dare to be ambiguous.

It is known to the Manchu Dynasty that His Majesty regards the young son born by the queen's mother as a treasure, that is, he summons the ministers and holds the little prince in his arms.

In order to resolve His Majesty's thunderous anger, Yin Juanbai naturally knew everything and said everything.

Hearing this, Wei Zhao's heart, which had been hanging high, was steadily implemented.

He gently patted Xie Yanhe's jade shoulder, and said softly: "Mianmian, you also heard it, Chen'er doesn't matter, as long as you take care of it well in the future, you can recover as before." ”

Xie Yanhe's face was full of tears, she tightly grabbed Wei Zhao's hand pressed on her shoulder, and her tearful eyes were full of hope and apprehension: "Didn't Your Majesty lie to me?" Is Chen'er really okay? ”

Wei Zhao glanced at Yin Juanbai. The latter hurriedly said: "Weichen dares to swear with his life. ”

Xie Yanhe's strength suddenly dissipated, and she fell on Wei Zhao's shoulder, sobbing silently, letting go of her panic and weakness.

Wei Zhao moved gently to soothe his wife's emotions, and shouted at Feng Hui: "Feng Hui, order the Shen Criminal Division, give me a strict investigation!" You can't let go of the slightest clue. Anyone involved in the case will be wiped out of the three tribes. ”

Even if King Funan committed a rebellion two years ago, he didn't let Wei Zhao move such a big liver fire.

However, seeing Aiko's little face pale and lying quietly on the bed, completely devoid of his former intelligence and liveliness, Wei Zhao seemed to have experienced the pain of his heart, and it was difficult to suppress the thunderous anger in his heart.

In other words, he doesn't want to suppress it at all, but he has to cut the people behind the scenes with a thousand knives in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

The fourth prince, Wei Gui, as the heart of the emperor and queen, was surrounded by him, and there were thirty or forty palace people who served closely.

The matter involves His Majesty's beloved son, Feng Hui knows that even if these palace people around the four princes are innocent, let the four princes suffer such a big crime, don't think about any future in the future.

He hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the slave receives the order." ”

With His Majesty's orders, Qinglongwei didn't spare his hand anymore, and even the only two nurses and the great eunuch Lantern Xiao who were left by the four princes were also taken to the Shen Punishment Division.

Now Chen'er is serving in front of her, and there is only one pearl left.

Seeing this, Pearl knelt down on her knees: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, the slave and maid have been derelict in their duties, putting the little prince in danger. The slave deserves death, and she is willing to go to the Criminal Justice Division to prove her innocence. ”

Wei Zhao's two sword eyebrows frowned almost invisibly.

Pearl is a confidant brought into the palace by his wife from her mother's house, and she is not only loyal, but also always capable.

This time Chen'er had an accident, although Wei Zhao was annoyed by the negligence of Pearl, the aunt in charge, he didn't even find the clue of Qinglongwei, who was secretly protecting, not to mention the insight that a maid who grew up in the inner house should have.

Therefore, although Wei Zhao was displeased, he did not overstep his bounds.

Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes were swollen from crying, and she said patiently: "This palace will punish you for your crimes." But Chen'er still needs people around her, so the palace will remember it for you first, and then punish it later. ”

"Slave and maid, thank Your Majesty and the Queen Mother for your kindness." Pearl stood up, her eyes red with sadness.

Chen'er was brought up by the pearl, and seeing the little prince suffering, she couldn't wait to replace her.

In fact, there is no need for the emperor to condemn her, the guilt and self-blame in Pearl's heart are already like the tide of the Qiantang River, which wants to drown her.

She gritted her teeth secretly: she must make the people behind the scenes pay a heavy price!

Wei Zhao calmed Xie Yanhe, and only then was he in the mood to ask about the whole story.

"Chang Linhai, why was Chen'er stung by poisonous insects?"

Chang Linhai was as careful as a hair, and he discovered the source of the poisonous insect at the first time.

There is a hollow bed in the middle of the yellow rosewood shelf bed where the four princes rest, and a copper pipe is placed inside, and the plug has been pulled out, and poisonous insects crawl out of it.

After the accident of the fourth prince, the baffle was restored to its original state by the person who did it, but the copper pipe had not yet had time to be removed.

Chang Linhai immediately saw the abnormality in it.

Chang Linhai told the emperor word for word about his discovery.

Wei Zhao was very angry: "I will be the supervisor, the treasurer, the inner government, the Ministry of Rites, and the Xishan Palace, and I will investigate them one by one, and I would rather kill by mistake than let go!" ”

Wei Zhao knew that it was impossible for the people behind the scenes to leave evidence, but this kind of carpet search would definitely expose the people behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, a palace maid who threw herself into the well was found in the well behind Yuhuatai. It was found out that this palace maid's name was Chunying, and she was the rough envoy of Hanyuan Palace, who was responsible for pruning the flowers and trees outside the hall on weekdays, and it had been an hour since she died. ”

Xie Yan and Feng Ying, the chief eunuch beside him, hurried in from outside the hall, and when they saw the emperor, they bowed down.

Xie Yanhe asked: "Is it suicide?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, there are pinch marks on the neck of the palace maid, who was strangled to death and tied to a stone before being thrown into the well."

Xie Yan trembled kindly, and his voice was so gloomy that it seemed to be able to drip water: "Okay! The dignified Xishan Palace, the royal hunting place, is actually a place to hide dirt and dirt! Even the prince of the dynasty dared to murder! What a daring thing! This palace asks you, does this palace maid have a family? ”

Feng Ying hurriedly replied: "Back to the queen mother, the slave has already found out." Both of her parents died, and she had only one sister, who married into Jeju. ”

Xie Yanhe sneered: "This palace thought that her six relatives were cut off. Since I have a sister, let's go on the road with my husband's family. ”

Although she knew that the queen mother was angry, Feng Ying didn't dare to say anything. Since this palace maid named Chunying even dared to poison the prince, she must have thought about the consequences when she did this.

……

After Chen'er woke up, she was personally carried to the main hall by Xie Yanhe. Although he knew that Chen'er was fine, Xie Yanhe's heart still had a lingering gloomy feeling.

But in front of Chen'er, Xie Yanhe had to put on a smiling face as if nothing had happened, coaxing Chen'er to use some white porridge that he usually hated the most.

Although Chen'er is only two years old, she is very sensible. Looking at his mother's bright eyes full of expectation, although he had no appetite, he still ate half a bowl of white porridge.

Xie Yanhe wanted to feed him again, but saw Chen'er shaking his head, and the sweet and immature Tongyin was hoarse after illness: "Queen Mother, I'm full." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanhe turned sideways and put the small white jade bowl into the tray held by the palace man, but when she turned around, she wiped her tears quickly with the back of her hand.

Xie Yanhe showed a gentle and sweet smile and said softly: "If Chen'er is uncomfortable, she must tell the queen mother." ”

Chen'er nodded obediently and replied very sensibly: "Queen Mother, I'm all right, Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about me." ”

"Good boy." Xie Yanhe gently touched Chen'er's hair, and his careful movements were like treating a fragile glass doll.

It was at this time that Wei Zhao walked into the hall.

Because he had just come to Xishan, Wei Zhao disposed of a large number of palace people, which made people panic. Even Zhang Fuming couldn't sit still, so he came to ask to see the emperor.

Upon learning of the assassination of the little prince, Zhang Fuming immediately retracted his intention to persuade the emperor.

With Zhang Fuming's current status, he will not know: the four princes are not only the beloved sons of the emperor and queen, but also the future kings! The safety of the four princes is at stake for all the people in the world, how can they be neglected?!

It was His Majesty who ordered the three tribes, although it was a little stricter, but it was within the law.

Therefore, Zhang Fuming did not delay Wei Zhao for too long, Wei Zhao went out for half an hour, and then he was in a hurry to return to his son, and when he saw Chen'er waking up, his eyebrows relaxed, and he asked softly: "Does Chen'er feel better?" What do you want to eat? My father asked the imperial chef to do it. ”

Chen'er shook her head: "Father, Erchen just finished drinking half a bowl of porridge, and now he feels much better." ”

"Good." Wei Zhao lovingly touched his son's thin little face.

"Father, after the son recovers, can the father take the son to hunt?" Chen'er's big eyes revealed a deep longing.

Wei Zhao had nothing to do at this time, and said busily: "Of course." ”

When Chen'er heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her little face.

"See Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother." Feng will walk into the main hall.

After two days and nights of interrogation, Feng Hui finally found out the result.
