The fourth prince was injured, although it was not to break his bones, but he also injured his tendons, and the imperial doctor said that it would take at least three months to recover.

You must stay in bed for the first half month, otherwise you will fall ill when you go to the ground.

Fortunately, it is already August, the weather is cooler, and it is not too painful to stay in bed.

Of course, several imperial doctors have also guaranteed that as long as they are properly cared for, the four princes will never be left with a disability.

The horse was later carefully examined by the boy, and finally it was determined that it was because a nail on the new horse's paw was too long, and the nail got into the flesh when he ran, and the horse went crazy.

The horse was whipped and put in the stable, and waited for the master's fate.

The eunuch who nailed the horseshoe hanged himself, he was the most timid and afraid, he usually had to walk around the road when he saw an ant, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

After Xu Guifei saw that her son was fine, she called the eunuch who followed her over and asked carefully.

At that time, the three princes also rushed over early and accompanied the four princes.

"Call Sixian over, I have something to ask him." Xu Guifei said.

The third prince was called over, and Xu Guifei asked, "You went out with Bo'er this morning, tell me the details." ”

"The mother concubine suspects that the fourth brother's matter is deliberately done?" The third prince accompanied him and asked carefully, from childhood to adulthood in front of Concubine Xu Guifei, he always looked very respectful, his waist was always slightly bent, and he seemed to be obeying orders at any time.

"It's always a good idea to be careful." Xu Guifei said: "Of course, there is no best. ”

"We went to ask my father to come today, but the chief manager said that my father was tired and resting, so we came back, and met the prince and the second emperor brother halfway, and after saying a few words, they dispersed." The Three Princes said.

"Then you think no one wants to hurt Bo'er?" Xu Guifei asked him.

"It should ...... Didn't you? The third prince hesitated a little, not daring to speak too hard.

"Then how did I hear that the second prince had a quarrel with Bo'er? Why don't you say it? The corners of Xu Guifei's eyes were slightly raised, and she could see that the third prince was a little weak-hearted.

"Mother, it's not that I deliberately conceal it, it's because our brothers have always been harmonious, and if there are a few words of disagreement, I just turn around and forget about it, Xian'er doesn't want to be a villain who provokes behind his back," the third prince said suddenly: "What's more, there is no evidence, and it is not a big deal to provoke you and the queen to have a disagreement." ”

The silver candle jumped, the wick was a little long, and the third prince hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the candle scissors and cut the wick short.

Xu Guifei's eyes lit up, and she quietly looked at the three princes and was silent for a long time.

"Bo'er had a quarrel with the second prince on his front foot, and then he fell, this is too much of a coincidence, isn't he really threatening revenge?" Xu Guifei had long nails on her little finger, and the Kodan was bright red, as if it was about to drip blood.

"Mother, don't think about it." When the third prince heard this, he immediately knelt down and pleaded: "The second emperor's temper is not very good, but he will never do anything to harm his siblings, this is what I dare to promise." What's more, although the second emperor brother left in a bad mood at that time, the prince chased after him and persuaded him. The mother concubine can't trust the second emperor brother, and she should also trust the prince, and it is impossible for fratricide to happen with him. ”

"You guys are really brothers!" Xu Guifei raised her head with a smile, and her sideburns trembled under the shadow of the lamp.

"The crown prince and the second prince are both born by the queen, naturally they are more noble than Bo'er's background, and the prince will succeed to the throne of the monarch in the future, you should indeed please them more." Xu Guifei sneered.

"Mother, mother! I don't have this kind of thought, please concubine Mingjian! The three princes knelt on the ground and met each other: "Although I am not your biological child, I have grown up beside you since I was a child, and I don't remember my biological mother's appearance, I only recognize you as a mother." What the mother concubine said just now was really wronged to her son! The four emperors' younger brothers, the mother concubines, the mothers, and the sons and daughters. Such a simple truth, no matter how stupid Erchen is, he understands. How can you do something outside the inside and out?! Originally, Erchen was already full of regret in his heart, if he followed the fourth brother to Mayuan that day, he would not be injured. ”

Speaking of which, the three princes were already in tears and couldn't make a sentence.

"That's it, look at the way you bluffed, get up! I'm just asking. Xu Guifei's expression and tone eased: "Fortunately, God willing, Bo'er was not seriously injured." ”

"The Fourth Emperor Brother is deeply blessed, he is a person blessed by God, and he will never be fine." The third prince stood up and said while wiping away tears.

"That's the end of this matter, you can go back and rest first." Xu Guifei's voice was a little tired.

"Thank you for your understanding, it's late at night, and the concubine should rest early." The third prince bowed and saluted: "The retainers are retired." ”

After the third prince left, Ding Neijian walked in quietly.

"How's your listening?" Xu Guifei stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples and asked.

Ding Neijian hurriedly walked up and stretched out his hand to skillfully massage the concubine.

"The minions have probed in detail, and there is no trace of man-made. Besides, the eunuch who was in charge of nailing the horseshoe had hanged himself, and there was no proof of his death. ”

"So it was a pure accident?" Xu Guifei raised her eyebrows and asked.

"If there are doubts, the eunuch who is responsible for nailing the horseshoe is the most cautious on weekdays, and it is obviously unreasonable for such a person to make such a big mistake." Ding Neijian said slowly: "But it's still that sentence, there is no proof of death!" ”

"Then do you think this thing was done by the second prince?" Xu Guifei looked out the window, only the shadows of the trees were swaying.

"If those things in the palace were done by the second prince, then this thing must also be done by him. If the East Palace was not his doing, then only thirty percent of this matter is likely to be done by him. Ding Neijian said.

Xu Guifei didn't say anything when she heard this, she just nodded, she understood what Ding Neijian meant, and of course she agreed.

If the second prince has bad intentions, he will definitely eradicate the other brothers. The first to bear the brunt is the crown prince, followed by the favored four princes.

Because of getting rid of these two people, his advantages were highlighted at once, and there was no need to worry about leaving a third prince.

"Let's take this matter to heart for the time being, let's think about it in the long run." Ding Neijian said: "What we have to do now is to seek stability, as long as the four princes are safe, there is no need for us to make a big move." ”

"You're right, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Xu Guifei nodded slowly when she heard this: "I'll go and see Bo'er again to see if he is asleep." ”

Eunuch Ding picked up Concubine Xu, and the two of them came to the bedroom of the fourth prince.

Several of the most powerful maids and eunuchs were waiting in front of him, Xu Guifei looked at it, and said a few more words before returning to her side to wash up and go to bed to rest.

The night was as cold as water, Xu Guifei touched the jade jacket, thinking that the emperor had not come to her side for a long time to spend the night.
