Chapter 189: Autumn of Many Deaths (Part II)

The inventory and liquidation began.

Two princes were killed and injured overnight, who did it? Everyone believes that the two murders are not a coincidence and must be related to each other. Everyone cast their suspicious eyes on the second prince Sheng Xuanye. The so-called sandpiper and clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits. If the Three Princes did not escape from the Assassins, then he would be the only living Prince, and there was truly no one to match.

Although Na Sheng Xuanye has a good temperament, he is not stupid. As soon as he learned about this, he immediately understood the stakes, and entered the palace overnight to face the saint and leave himself clean. He also knew that his words were unfounded, and he took the initiative to ask the emperor to send people from Dali Temple to investigate him in order to completely clear the suspicion. After all, the third prince is not dead, if he doesn't make this matter clear, I'm afraid that the fourth prince's today is his own tomorrow.

The emperor was also a little suspicious of him, but seeing that his attitude was so resolute, he also dispelled some doubts. If he didn't do it, then someone else. Or...... There was no one else at all, the assassin found by the third prince himself, who pretended to be stabbed, but in fact covered up his suspicion of poisoning the fourth prince. Although this idea was terrifying, with the scheming of the third prince, he completely did it.

However, the interrogation of the assassins completely overturned the emperor's speculation. They were actually sent by Concubine Chen!

The Emperor was taken aback.

There is such a bold and crazy act in the palace, where did this Liu Yizhi borrow the courage from! A few years ago, the third prince was ambushed by Jianghu killers on the outskirts of Beijing, and he suspected that there was a shadow of the Liu family brothers and sisters here, and he didn't want to turn out the eldest prince and his people. In order to completely cut off some people's thoughts, he ruthlessly executed the eldest prince to set an example. It seems that even this cannot stop these people's ambitions for power.

It's just that there are still doubts in this. Why did Concubine Chen choose to start in the palace? Judging from the confessions of the Assassins, her summoning was sudden, not planned in advance, and acted in a very ill manner, and something must have happened that forced her to act in a hurry.

What the hell is going on?

Concubine Chen didn't say anything. The loss of her child made her numb and fearless, and she was only bent on dying. Later, it was the third prince who told the truth, starting with a eunuch who suddenly hanged himself, and continuing to talk about the queen who died more than ten years ago.

Once again, the Emperor was shocked.

He prides himself on being a wise man, but he never thought of being toyed with by such a scheming woman. Pity his virtuous and virtuous queen, who has been wronged for nearly twenty years!

But that makes sense. Why did Concubine Chen, who has always been cautious and not fall into control, suddenly chase and kill the third prince so desperately, naturally to gag his mouth.

However, what is the explanation for the mysterious death of the four princes? It could never be Concubine Chen's hand, it was her own son who she regarded as the root of her life. And the fourth prince is just young and strong, and it is impossible for him to be a "sudden strange disease" as some imperial doctors say.

These days, as long as the emperor closes his eyes, what appears in front of him is the face of the four princes pleading for help before they die. Every time I think about it, I feel sad about it.

Judging from the sudden death of the fourth prince, someone may have poisoned him in advance. Just, how could such a coincidence? happened to be the time when the third prince was assassinated, and the fourth prince was poisoned to death? Is there a connection between these two events? There is also a strange poison that the four princes suddenly fell into a few years ago, although it has been forensically cured by Lin Mubai's daughter Yiqi, but it has not been found out who poisoned it so far. Could it be that the same person did the same thing this time?

The emperor's head hurt when he thought about it, and he secretly regretted it in his heart. If he had set up a prince early, he would not have given birth to so many things, let alone lost so many sons in vain.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zhang ask to see you." The words of the old eunuch Bu Ren interrupted the emperor's thoughts at once. He rubbed his swollen temples a little tiredly and said, "Call them in." ”

Under the guidance of Bu Ren, I saw two imperial doctors, one old and one young, walking in together.

"How's it going?" The Emperor asked impatiently.

The elder Imperial Physician Liu replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the ministers and others will carefully consider the situation of the day and think that it is more likely that the fourth prince is still poisoned. It's just that...... This poison is so rare that no one can find out anything. ”

"Rare again. I can't find it out again. The Emperor's voice seemed to come out of his teeth.

After a moment of silence, the Emperor suddenly picked up a bronze paperweight on the table and threw it at it vigorously, causing the two men to dodge in a hurry. I only heard a loud "bang", and the paperweight smashed on the gold brick floor at once, but it was intact.

It seems that his patience has been exhausted, and he has finally flareed up. "I don't know what you people are for! It's never useful when it matters! What do you know? Huh?! ”

The Imperial Physician Liu was also bold, and he still said vigorously: "The ministers have studied medicine since childhood, studied under famous masters, and have always studied orthodox medical Taoism, and disdain to learn the side ways used by treacherous people. ”

"You! Good...... Good...... You're still reasonable! The emperor was so angry that he was stunned.

Imperial Doctor Zhang on the side had another opinion in his heart, and was thinking about whether to speak out. He was a young man who had just been admitted to the hospital for a short time, and he often disagreed with the old pedantic ideas. But because of his young qualifications, he didn't dare to offend his seniors, so he had to swallow his anger on weekdays. He hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has some ideas, but some are too bold, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

"Speak! Knowing everything is endless! ”

Imperial Physician Zhang was encouraged, and his voice was raised a few percent, only to hear him say: "Chen's ancestor is from Yunnan, and he lived there with his grandfather for a period of time when he was young. There have been miscellaneous houses in all directions since ancient times, and there are many Miao people among them. All of them are proficient in witchcraft, and every household will raise Gu worms. It is a poisonous insect that can be fed with a variety of poisons and put into the body of others to manipulate its life and death. When the minister saw the symptoms of the four princes' deathbed, they looked a little like they had been poisoned. It's just that I haven't seen that Gu worm, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately shuddered, and their faces turned pale.

Imperial Physician Liu was the first to come back to his senses and shouted: "Such a great rebellion against the evil law, you dare to be full of nonsense in front of the saint!" Don't kneel down and apologize! ”

"Shut up!" The emperor stopped, then paced up to the imperial doctor and asked, "According to your words, how can you determine whether you have been poisoned or not?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "A caesarean section is required to confirm it." ”
