Chapter 231: Seeing the Essence Clearly
The New Year is approaching, and the body of the six princes has been raised. The emperor set up a palace banquet to entertain the ministers.
The prince sent a letter to Jane and did not let the six princes participate. Although the six princes did not understand what they meant, they still complied.
On the second day, the six princes heard that the third prince was ordered by the emperor to be grounded in the palace because he was drunk and made no statement.
"He's never liked to drink, how could he?" The six princes were puzzled. However, he admired Childe Qingqian. He was far away at the border, and he could have expected that something would happen that night!
Rouxin sat on the steps outside the door of the Sixth Prince's study, thinking about what Gongzi Qingqian should be doing at this time?
"It's a cold night! Let's go back to the house! The sixth prince draped his clothes over Rouxin's body, and then helped her up.
"I want to go back and see!" The soft words made a touch of jealousy rise in the hearts of the six princes. However, he said that he asked Liu Tao to ask what Gongzi Qingqian meant.
Rouxin was very happy to hear it. She felt dull here. It's better to build a small building! Rouxin's mind showed up the happy time when everyone was together.
Gongzi Qingqian received a letter from Liu Tao. He wrote only two words on it: "Don't! ”
Rouxin heard that Gongzi Qingqian did not agree with her to go back for the New Year, and she was very sad.
The sixth prince didn't know how to comfort Rouxin, so he could only stay by her side silently.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the six princes took Rouxin to pay New Year's greetings to their father, queen and mother. As soon as they stepped into the emperor's Shoukang Palace, they heard the sad voice of the mother concubine of the three princes.
It turned out that the third prince went crazy after being grounded. When her mother saw the princes coming to pay New Year's greetings, she couldn't help but cry sadly.
The emperor ordered someone to help the mother concubine of the third prince.
"The son brought her to pay New Year's greetings to his father, queen mother and concubine! I wish my father, queen mother and mother a long and healthy life! "The six princes and Rouxin made a big salute.
"Reward!" The queen commanded.
Rouxin accepted the reward and thanked the queen. Then as soon as she sat down, the emperor said: "Since you like him, give him a name!" ”
"That's what Erchen wants! Thank you for your father's success! The hearts of the six princes were very happy. No matter what Rouxin thinks, as long as the emperor decrees that she will be crowned a concubine, then she will be her own person. Rouxin is only a play, and there is nothing else to think about.
There were three princes missing from the palace banquet, and the atmosphere was much colder. The fourteenth prince sat in the arms of his mother, Concubine Yu, playing with ball. His ball accidentally rolled down to the side of the Eighth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince staggered to the Eighth Prince to get the ball on his calves.
The Eighth Prince teased him for a while and returned the ball to the Fourteenth Prince.
Everyone also laughed along. The fourteenth prince climbed into Concubine Yu's arms and fell asleep.
After the palace banquet was dispersed, the six princes sat in the carriage and looked at the soft heart beside him and kept smiling.
Rouxin noticed the strangeness of the Six Princes and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Happy!" The six princes couldn't hide the joy in their hearts.
"It's boring! What's there to be happy about? Rouxin felt tired and panicked when she remembered that she was sitting stiffly at the palace banquet.
At this time, the death knell in the palace sounded. The six princes couldn't help but feel excited.
"Back to the palace!" The sixth prince said hurriedly.
Liu Tao had to turn his horse's head and drive towards the palace gate. When the six princes hurriedly rushed to Shoukang Palace with Rouxin, there was a cry above the main hall.
The six princes walked into the palace with a busy and gentle heart. The emperor sat on the dragon chair with his head propped up.
The queen sat beside Concubine Yu and comforted her. The mother of the eighth prince howled and cried. The imperial physicians are treating the Eight Princes.
"Father! What happened? The Sixth Prince asked breathlessly.
"Your fourteenth brother is dead! Your eighth brother is dying! Tears flowed from the emperor's eyes.
"What's going on?" The sixth prince looked stunned.
"Back to the Six Princes! They were all poisoned. The poisoner actually used the ball! "This is also the first time that the old imperial doctor has experienced this. His chest was filled with grief and indignation. The fourteenth prince is just three years old!
"Father! Son, please investigate this matter thoroughly! The six princes knelt at the emperor's feet.
"Checked! Whoever touched the ball is dead! The emperor cried bitterly.
"That's it?" The sixth prince looked at Concubine Yu, who was glazed over, and turned his head to look at the dying eighth prince. He felt his chest throam.
"The Six Princes!" Rouxin saw that the sixth prince was about to fall as soon as he stood up, and hurriedly supported him, but unexpectedly, blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Imperial Doctor!" The emperor stood up in shock.
The imperial doctor came over to treat the six princes and said, "The six princes are just caused by excessive grief!" ”
The emperor sat heavily on the dragon chair. He really couldn't afford to lose another son.
"Help him back!" The emperor looked at the six princes with blood at the corners of his mouth with a pale face.
The old imperial doctor sent the six princes to the door of the palace and said, "He vomited the blood in his chest, and it is no big deal!" It is also the result of benevolence, good fortune! ”
Liu Tao was also startled when he saw the blood on the mouth of the sixth prince. He didn't understand the Imperial Doctor's words. He and Rouxin helped the six princes out of the palace gate and got into the carriage.
After the six princes fell asleep all night, they finally woke up. Rouxin took a towel and cleaned his face.
"I've always felt that this matter is quite strange!" The six princes sat on the bed and muttered to themselves.
"After eating, I have the spirit to think again!" Rouxin helped the six princes to the table.
The Six Princes were indeed hungry. After eating, he felt that his body had strength.
Rouxin helped the six princes put on mourning clothes, and they entered the palace together to treat the funeral of the two princes who died violently.
The six princes went to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask the old imperial doctor about the poison on the ball.
The old imperial doctor said that the poison was colorless and tasteless, and the poisoning process was slow, but the onset was fast. It is a rare purple gold flower poison.
When the six princes returned to the palace in the evening, they began to look through the medical classics to find detailed information about the purple gold flower.
"The Six Princes! Childe sent a letter to Jane, asking you not to pursue it, so as not to get burned! Liu Tao came to report.
"Don't find out who did it? What if he uses it to poison others again? The six princes still didn't stop.
"Childe said that it was done by the four princes! He won't use the same tactics again. Liu Tao added.
"My fourth brother?" The sixth prince was stunned for a long time and looked up at Liu Tao. Liu Tao nodded at him.
"Is there any evidence?" The six princes didn't believe it at all.
"The Twelfth Prince and the Eighth Prince are on good terms!" Liu Tao's meaning is obvious. This incident was aimed at the Eighth Prince.
"Impossible!" The sixth prince walked to his case and sat down.
Liu Tao knew that it was useless to talk more, so he retreated. Rouxin poured a cup of tea for the six princes.
The six princes sat overnight. Rouxin sat beside him and fell asleep.
A ray of sunlight in the early morning shone through the window on the face of the six princes.
The eyes of the sixth prince rolled, and he saw the sleeping soft heart beside him.
The six princes took off their robes and covered Rouxin's body. He walked alone into the courtyard and came up with a bucket of water from the well. The icy well water sobered him up. He punched and felt a lot warmer on his body.
Liu Tao silently watched the six princes' every move. He is so emotional, can he really succeed?
When the sixth prince walked into the study, Rouxin woke up. She hurriedly draped the robes of the Six Princes over his body.
"It's so cold outside, why did you just go out like that?" Rouxin closed the door to the study, and then she added charcoal to the charcoal basin and fiddled with it.
"Softheart! I figured it out! If all this is really done by my fourth brother, then he is definitely not a Ming Jun! So I won't be emotional anymore! The words of the sixth prince made Rouxin raise her head and smile.
The sixth prince looked at the soft and gentle smile, and he couldn't extricate himself completely.
