Chapter 823: Cruelty
The Empress Dowager hugged the four princes and personally put him to sleep before taking a nap in the next room.
When Guizhi arrived, the Empress Dowager was still resting.
If Gui Zhi didn't dare to disturb him in normal times, but now that Mrs. Yuan was killed in front of everyone in the Taiji Palace, Empress Xiao was almost crazy in her confinement, even if she offended the Empress Dowager, Gui Zhi didn't dare to delay.
But it was unrealistic to bypass the Empress Dowager, so she stayed outside the compartment.
Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager is in a bad mood, she can also understand Empress Xiao's love for her son, who is pregnant and doesn't even dare to pant loudly, and has to be supported when she walks, and she gave birth to a prince with difficulty.
Once there is a wind and grass, it is understandable to be nervous about your own children.
"With me watching, it's going to be fine. The little fourth son is sleeping well......" The empress dowager's elongated tone stopped abruptly while pulling the swaddling clothes over the mouth of the fourth prince.
Guizhi's scalp is about to stand up: it's not scary!
“…… The Empress Dowager, the Prince...... Are you okay? ”
The main reason is that she is not very good, and the Queen Mother's sentence is too ecstatic, so she can't afford it.
The Empress Dowager covered her mouth with her hands, and her eyes seemed to be blowing out.
...... "Okay, now you don't need to say it, Guizhi will know what's going on." I didn't care about the decency, and walked forward quickly, only to see that the little face of the fourth prince in swaddling clothes was blue, and she reached out again, but there was no breath.
Gui Zhi screamed suddenly, and then saw that the Empress Dowager next to her had already turned her back on her back, and there was no one to support her, so she fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"Someone, come on!"
"The Four Princes have been killed!"
"The Empress Dowager - dizzy!" Gui Zhi screamed desperately, there was only one thought in his mind, Empress Xiao was only afraid of going crazy!
The fourth prince is dead!
The fourth prince is dead!

In one day, Emperor Yongping endured too much.
The mother of Xie Xian, the pillar of the country, died, and the concubine of the middle palace that he had finally hoped for was suffocated to death in full view of everyone.
Emperor Yongping's whole person was dizzy, fluttering, like a dream.
If it weren't for Empress Xiao dragging the sick body to come, throwing herself into his arms and crying bitterly, almost deafening his ears, he would almost believe that this was a dream.
Even if it's a dream, it's too cruel a dream!
"Check! Check it out inside and out, everyone! ”
The Empress Dowager woke up not long after, but she couldn't say anything clearly when she cried, and even once felt that she didn't fold her swaddling clothes properly, so she covered the four princes to death.
Remorse and pain.
If she hadn't said this herself, Emperor Yongping would have been a little suspicious that it was the Empress Dowager's hand, after all, the Pan family also had a prince born, and he was still ranked before the four sons of the middle palace.
But......
First, the Empress Dowager has never participated in the battle in the palace, and secondly, she hasn't made herself so short, right?
Although there was still a little suspicion, Emperor Yongping was more afraid of the black hand that stretched out into the Taiji Palace.
If it wasn't the Empress Dowager's hand, it must have been someone in the Taiji Hall at that time.
Or the palace maids and eunuchs themselves in the Taiji Palace, or even the guards! No one can escape suspicion!
The only one who was not suspicious was the imperial doctor, and he took him to see Mrs. Yuan.
Emperor Yongping blamed himself, he shouldn't have paid attention to Mrs. Yuan, if he hadn't messed up at that time, pay more attention to the four princes, and send someone to guard him well, would the four princes not have died.
"Your Majesty......"
Empress Xiao cried and cried and fainted.
Emperor Yongping also ordered someone to carry her back to the Jiaofang Palace, and asked the medical woman to stay there for twelve hours and feed her medicine on time.
Soon the results of the imperial doctor's examination came out, and there was no sign that the four princes were killed by the four princes, and it was very likely that it was just a simple ...... Accidentally. Swaddles covered his mouth and nose.
Originally, the fourth prince was born prematurely and was weak, and such a simple action killed him.
But Emperor Yongping couldn't believe it.
Just that coincidentally?
Mrs. Yuan was killed by the King of Huaiyang, the Taiji Hall was in chaos, and the four princes were simply coaxed to sleep, and they were sent to the West Heaven directly after falling asleep?
said that the sky was broken, and Emperor Yongping couldn't believe it.
But there is no evidence to explain anything, either it is true, so no evidence can be found, or it is the murderer who has left no traces.
Historically, the wrath of the Son of Heaven has been thousands of miles away.
Emperor Yongping was furious and executed all the palace maids and eunuchs around the four princes, including the nurse. Even the people in the Taiji Hall who were once close to the room of the Four Princes did not leave a living.

When Xiao Baoxin received the news of Mrs. Yuan's death from the Xie family, it was already two hours after the incident, and Xie Xian sent a message to the Xie family to prepare for the funeral.
Mother Xie fainted immediately when she heard this, and cried bitterly after waking up:
"Why didn't I die, why did I let the white-haired person send the black-haired person! Sanniang is still so young!"
The family surrounded Xie's mother, and they all wiped their tears.
Xie Wan rushed back to Xie Mansion immediately after receiving the message sent by Xiao Baoxin, and when she saw Xiao Baoxin, her eyes were already swollen from crying, like an apricot kernel.
"Really?"
"Isn't it a miscommunication?" Xie Wan finally saw her relatives, and she was no longer depressed, and hugged Xiao Baoxin and cried bitterly.
Although he knew that what he asked was unrealistic, and any gossip was spread by others, no one dared to spread the news of death, especially the death of the important minister of the country, Xie Xian's mother.
Moreover, these kinds of news were all sent back to the Xie Mansion by the breeze of Xie Xian's close relatives, and there was no fake.
Xiao Baoxin's tears are like broken beads, and he has not stopped since he heard the news of his mother-in-law's death.
There are seven points of pain, but there are three points of regret.
If she wasn't pregnant with twins, she would have accompanied her mother-in-law into the palace this round.
was already full of grief, and then affected by Xie Wan's emotions, that kind of sadness and helplessness hit her body like a mountain and a sea, and she was almost out of breath when she was so sad.
Just suddenly, the person is already dizzy.
Fortunately, Xie Wan kept holding her, and hugged her tightly the moment her body was paralyzed.
Xie Wan couldn't care about being sad, the one in her arms was still pregnant.
shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, come on, come on!" "I was scared.
A-Niang is dead, if something happens to A-Sister-in-law again, A-brother will go crazy.
Yi'antang suddenly became a mess, and Xie's mother couldn't care less about crying: "Hurry up, help people into the back room - don't block them there." Tell the housekeeper to go to the hospital and ask a doctor to come over - no, no, it's probably messed up there, you can't separate, invite a well-known doctor in the city to come over, hurry up! ”
"Call Dr. Xue over first." Mother Xie didn't care, rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and called everything she could think of.
All I thought about was that I couldn't let anything happen to this pregnant woman, but I was in good spirits for a while.
Let Mrs. Wang hurry up: "You go and work on your sister-in-law's funeral, Cai, you send someone to call the second and third children back to the house, and Jiulang." Qi Niang and Twelve Niang went to take care of Baoxin. ”
