Chapter 19: The Death of the Celestial Princess

However, after these imperial doctors took the pulse one by one, they all showed the same heavy expression on their faces, and no one was sure that they could wake up the eldest princess.

Even Doctor Li's face sank like water, and after glancing at the imperial doctor who was the best at pediatrics, he shook his head invisibly.

The two of them secretly looked at Nangong Qing and Queen Cheng Lingyue, but they didn't know what to say to them.

After the two exchanged glances again, they did their best and obeyed the fate of God.

So the two joined the discussion.

After the discussion of the imperial doctors, the prescriptions were quickly sent to the cooking pharmacy, and bowls of medicines were delivered, but no matter what medicine was used, it could not be poured into the mouth of the eldest princess, and the five-year-old eldest princess was lying on the bed lifeless.

The cold body, no matter how many quilts and stoves are used, still gradually loses the temperature it should have.

"Celestial Princess! Celestial Princess! Come and take a look! The grandmother, who was massaging the cold hands and feet of the eldest princess next to her, looked closely at the slowly rising and falling chest of the eldest princess, and after a while, she no longer saw her chest rise and fall again, and her face turned pale in shock, and she screamed in panic.

Doctor Li immediately stepped forward, put his hand under the eldest princess's nose, wrist, and neck, and checked them one by one, silently shaking his head, and then the imperial doctor also shook his head after checking it.

Nangong Qing heard the sound and looked over, and when he saw the movements and expressions of Imperial Doctor Li and the Imperial Doctor, his heart slowly cooled, but as the emperor, he could only keep his face calm and couldn't bring sadness to his face.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is dead." Li Yizheng looked at the eldest princess with deep sadness, old tears, this eldest princess he watched grow up, although she has always been delicate, but she is recuperating, she has been much better in the past two years, but she doesn't want to be ......

The imperial doctors and the palace maids and eunuchs who were holding their breath next to them were shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and lay on the ground.

The queen Cheng Lingyue, who was waiting on the side, first didn't believe it, her eyes widened blankly, and then her body shook and her eyes were dark, Nangong Qing stretched out her hand and hugged Cheng Lingyue, and shouted, "Imperial Doctor." ”

"The queen just fainted because she was too sad, and there was nothing serious." Doctor Li stepped forward to take the pulse and whispered.

Nangong Qing nodded, instructed Qingxin to wait for Cheng Lingyue, and then instructed the housekeeper to tidy up the eldest princess's appearance, and then strode out.

Nangong Qing strode out of the side hall and went to the main hall, and when he saw him come out, the concubines waiting in the main hall stood up one after another.

Yun Xiaoxiao also stood up, and when Nangong Qing's gaze inadvertently slid towards her, she bent her knees, did not lower her head, but looked at him gently, as if she wanted to appease him.

Nangong Qing was slightly stunned, usually no matter how big or small, it was he who appeased these delicate concubines, when did anyone want to appease him?

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Yun Xiaoxiao, and continued to walk out.

Yun Xiaoxiao, who is extremely familiar with Nangong Qing, also took several years to know that Nangong Qing, who seems to be ruthless and hard-hearted, actually has a love of admiration and motherhood, and at the right time, you can hold him like a child to comfort him and pat him on the shoulders and back.

And now is the right time, Yun Xiaoxiao bowed his head slightly, and his eyes flickered.

"What the hell is going on, how did the eldest princess fall overboard?" Nangong Qing, who was sitting in the center of the side hall, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

A few rows of palace maids and eunuchs who knelt on the ground in front of him kept kowtowing after Nangong Qing came in, their bodies were still trembling slightly, and the expressions on their faces were terrified.

"Back to the emperor, the eldest princess was standing alone by the railing to feed the fish, and the slave maid was originally following her, but the eldest princess didn't want the slave and maid to follow her, so let the slaves and maids all step ......down," a palace maid dressed in a palace maid's costume replied, but she paused at this point.

Although the eldest princess is young, her temperament is not small, and if she doesn't like it, she will beat and scold them lightly, and she will be punished with a cane, and she has no choice but to retreat aside.

The slave had no choice but to retreat to the side and watch, and then somehow the eldest princess fell into the water. The slave and maid should be damned, the slave and maid did not fulfill their responsibility to protect the eldest princess, please punish the emperor. Although the palace maid was composed, her fear could still be heard in her trembling and frightened voice.

She is the personal palace maid of the eldest princess, and when the eldest princess has an accident, she is duty-bound, and she has long had the consciousness of filling in her life for the eldest princess.

The other palace maids and eunuchs also knew that they were more than lucky, but they begged as much as they could, hoping that their lives would make the emperor's anger disappear, otherwise what was waiting for them would be beheaded.

"Someone came to ruin the Praetorian Guard who rescued Princess Celestia."

"Yes." Su Pei'an walked out in response, but after a while, he walked in with a guard wearing the uniform of the Praetorian Guard.

The Praetorian Guard is the only guard in the palace who can walk in the harem, in order to protect the masters of each palace and act as a guard.

"Your Majesty, Escort Zhong has arrived!"

"My subordinates will see the emperor." The guard fell to one knee and saluted.

"Zhong Huwei, what did you see at that time, was there anyone around the eldest princess at that time?" Nangong Qing asked calmly.

"Back to the emperor at that time, the subordinates heard the exclamation of the palace maid and rushed over, at that time the palace maid also rushed to the railing, before the subordinates saw the eldest princess playing alone on the bridge from a distance, the palace maid can stand ten steps away, and then heard the palace maid exclaim, the princess fell into the water, and the subordinates rushed over, and the subordinates were true and true."

"Hmm." Nangong Qing squinted, his eyes lowered, covering the stars under his eyes, and fell into deep thought, his expression had an indescribable sadness, it was his first child, and it was also his favorite child.

But what he didn't know was that the well-behaved and lovely princess in front of him was a bold man when she carried him on her back. A brutal princess.

Or maybe he knew, but because she was still young, he didn't force her to change, and now he just can't pet anymore.

The palace maids and eunuchs and Zhong guards kneeling below did not dare to take a breath, they knelt motionless on the ground, they did not dare to kowtow at this time, and make a sound to affect the emperor, they could only wait for this torturous torment, waiting for the emperor to announce their life and death.

The tortured wait made the beads of sweat on their foreheads slide down, the beads of sweat the size of beans fall to the ground, and the water splashes bloom, and the clothes on their bodies have long been soaked with sweat.

"All the palace maids and eunuchs on duty will be executed, and the other people who are waiting for the eldest princess will be punished with a cane for twenty years, and then handed over to the Internal Affairs Department for distribution, so let's all step down." After a moment, Nangong Qing raised his head and announced the decree.

Those on duty sat on the ground with their faces like ashes, but after not hearing about the disposition of their families, their hearts were also relieved, and they all kowtowed in the direction of Nangong Qing gratefully.
