151 Turbulent Death (2)
The emperor was not angry, he slowly closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, Fang Cai said: "Since you recommended you to the palace and caused such a big incident, it is natural to deal with you." King Sheng, come forward. ”
Wei Chu Yin bowed forward from behind him, half-knelt on the ground, and saluted: "Father, the son is here, what do you command?" ”
"For me, Dong Yushu abolished the position of the concubine and demoted him to the position of concubine, and the title was not changed, so as to learn from this. In addition, recently, it was said that King Yu had close contacts with the courtiers, and with bad intentions, he planned to seal the palace and think about it behind closed doors in the palace for three months. ”
Concubine Dong Guifei trembled and raised her eyes.
She bit her lower lip, couldn't bear the heartbreak, and said softly: "Your Majesty...... The emperor was angry...... The emperor didn't do all this, it was the fault of the concubines, and I hope the emperor will take back his fate...... Emperor...... The emperor begs you to take back your fate. ”
"You! Even if you have begged for mercy, how can you calm your anger? The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, "What's more, I am the Son of Heaven!" How can I wait for you to interfere with the government? ”
Dong Guifei was startled, and her body fell down.
"King Sheng, don't draw up the decree immediately, go and pass it on." The emperor was angry and said angrily.
With just one word, the emperor coughed several times in a row, and couldn't stop panting, and the palace maid beside him hurriedly handed over the spittoon.
Wei Hua looked at the bloodshot phlegm in his mouth, and suddenly looked sideways at Wei Fengyin on the side.
Feng Yin stood alone, silent, as light as Fenghua, but suddenly raised his head and glanced at Wei Hua gently.
Just this glance, Wei Hua's eyes are more and more complex and difficult to distinguish, obscure.
"Lord Mulan, you go to investigate first, this matter, you can go straight to my jade couch to pay tribute, and you don't have to deal with others."
Pity Zheng didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at the wind cause, and when he heard this, he naturally knew in his heart, so he nodded in response.
"Father, it's better to hand over this matter to your son, who is more familiar with it than Lord Mulan, and the minister will do his best in this matter."
When she heard the voice, she was suddenly stunned, and she couldn't help but look up, and met Feng Yin's eyes as indifferent as water.
The surroundings were as silent as no man's land, and even more so a dead silence.
Half-loud, Wei Hua couldn't help but cough a few more times.
The wind is not slow, and he said lightly: "My father is not in good health, so he must not bother, so this matter will be handled by his sons." ”
The pity kite glanced at him, and quickly lowered his head, vaguely hearing Feng Yin finish saying this, and the footsteps came towards her.
Without waiting for the kite to react, the shadow was already close to her.
"Lord Mulan, there is Lao to lead the way."
The wind was shallow, but when he heard it, his heart trembled.
In just a few days, the two had never seen each other, but it was as if a chasm had been split by lightning in the middle.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in her heart, and then she looked up, but she didn't look at him, turned around and went straight to the room.
Feng Yin didn't say anything, just followed quietly behind her.
The footsteps behind him, as light as the wind, but they couldn't be ignored, like feathers fluttering back and forth in his heart.
Inside the room, the palace maids who were waiting were kneeling on both sides, and the two of them were trembling, their hearts were full of fear, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
When the six princes died, usually the people in the palace had to accompany the funeral.
When the accident happened, the two of them waited by the prince's side.
At this moment, it is extremely rare that he has not been scolded to death by the rod, let alone received any other punishment, and is still alive in good condition.
Now that they are alive, even they are surprised, no wonder they are so afraid.
Who knows if the next one to come in will be the life-seeking Lord Yama?
He looked around carefully, and there was only a simple teacup on the table, and there was half a cup of water in the cup. There was incense in the incense burner, and the furnishings in the house were simple, and there was nothing strange about it.
"What was the last thing the six princes ate before their death?" Pian Zheng carefully crouched down and questioned the two of them.
The palace maid looked up timidly, carefully pointed to the tea set on the table, and said softly: "The prince rinsed his mouth with that teacup." ”
Pian Zheng was slightly puzzled and asked, "Why do you gargle your mouth?" ”
"The six princes have a terrible headache today, so they took the decoction sent by the imperial doctor not long ago, the six princes have always been afraid of bitterness, and they can't drink goat's milk after getting sick, and they have had problems with their meals before, Niangniang is always cautious, and many things can only be eaten after testing. Because the prince was afraid of trouble, he simply rinsed the bitterness in his mouth with water, and did not let the imperial dining room pass some sweets. ”
Before he could get up, Feng Yin had already walked to the table and picked up the tea bowl to check it, and there were still some water stains left in the tea bowl.
He brought the bowl closer and sniffed, "It's indeed water, no smell of tea." ”
With that, Feng Yin stepped aside and poured the water into the potted plant.
Sorry for it, he walked up and down the room to see if there were any suspicions.
"What kind of incense is this?" Feng Yin sat down at the table and reached out to remove the incense burner on the table.
"It's the Tibetan incense specially sent by Concubine Xi, the six princes have a headache today, and they always can't sleep, so Concubine Xi dyes this incense, and occasionally uses this incense to coax the six princes to sleep."
Feng Yinna, who was the hand that was uncovered, paused slightly.
In the middle of the ring, he lifted the teapot on the table and extinguished the incense.
She only glanced at him, and when she saw that Feng Yin was about to turn her face, she hurriedly turned back and went to the tent to examine the corpse.
Wei Chaonan's cheeks were pale, and his lips were dark blue.
Ten fingers were not stained with any dander and blood, and at first glance they looked very similar to those in the hospital who had died suddenly of a heart attack.
Pian Zheng called Thirteen outside, "Go next door and call a royal doctor, give me all the medicines of the six princes in the past, and by the way, do the six princes suffer from distress?" ”
Thirteen nodded and hurriedly went outside.
Not long after, Dong Weizhuang actually came in person.
The past cases of the six princes were all checked by him personally, and naturally he sent them and explained them, which was the most appropriate.
Dong Weizhuang put the pulse case on the table, glanced at the six princes, and sighed a few times.
"I have exhausted what I have learned all my life, the sixth prince is really distressed when he is young, but in addition, there are no signs of aggravation in the sixth prince, all the discomfort is actually no way out, Lord Mulan, if you find out the problem, you must inform me."
Pian Zheng accepted Dong Weizhuang's pulse case, and then he sighed and went out again.
Thinking that Dong Wei Zhuang must have tried his best to heal, but the sixth prince died suddenly, and he bore the brunt of the crime, no wonder he was so distressed.
Everyone hopes that the six princes are not killed, if they are really killed, the anger of the Son of Heaven will be even more unforgivable.
She approached the mattress, tied the curtains on the couch to either side, and probed the temperature of the corpse's surface with her hands.
The hands of the six princes hung weakly outside the quilt, and his eyes were round, as if he was staring at the pity kite in front of him, and he didn't bat at his eyes.
The sixth prince, Wei Chaonan, was still young, his small body was hidden under the futon, and his slender wrists were still a little bruised.
"The surface of the corpse is cold, the corpse mortis and corpse spots have not yet formed, the cornea has not yet appeared patchy cloudy, and the time of death is no more than an hour, about three sticks of incense."
Pian Zheng turned around, looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and thought for a moment.
"What did the sixth prince say before he died? What has been done? What exactly is the discomfort? Think about it, and then elaborate. ”
"The six princes first had breakfast with Concubine Xi, and then drank the decoction sent by the Imperial Medicine Division, and then they didn't do anything, and then, the prince said that he was unwell and wanted to rest, so the slaves and maids waited for the six princes to rest."
The person who spoke was the palace maid Mulan, and the other was Mu Ling, a personal girl who grew up with the six princes.
Mulan is much older than Mu Ling, and she is used as a bed warmer, but the sixth prince has not grown up yet, so naturally she has not yet reached that position. In terms of age, I am afraid that I will have to call Mulan a grandmother.
Mu Ling lowered his head and silently wiped away his tears.
The slave and maid were waiting by the bedside, and the prince woke up and suddenly said that he wanted to go to the toilet. The slave maid went out with Mulan to prepare a bucket and incense for the prince in the East Pavilion, but she didn't dare to take a few steps before she heard a voice from inside. ”
The slave and maid were startled, turned around and ran back, the sixth prince fell to the ground, and the slave and maid hurriedly helped him to the couch, but the prince couldn't breathe, and grabbed the slave's clothes tightly with one hand...... Magnolia...... Mulan also saw it...... The prince he ......"
Pian Zheng hurriedly asked, "How?" ”
Mu Ling couldn't cry, Mulan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then took Mu Ling's words.
"Little prince, he...... Tears. ”
"The slave grew up with the six princes when he was a child, he loved to laugh since he was young, and he never saw him cry when."
Every time Mu Ling thought of this, his heart felt like a needle prick, and he couldn't help but hide his face and cry directly.
Mulan didn't cry much, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"The slave maid thought, the prince was afraid that it was really uncomfortable at that time, and it hurt to see the slave maid's heart."
The two palace maids were raised by the six princes since they were young, and they are really sad to see themselves now.
"In addition, the characteristics of the illness of the six princes have been explained in detail with me."
Mulan knelt on the palace ground, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about what had just happened.
"The little prince gasped for breath, and felt as if he was out of breath, and the slaves and maids thought that he was distressed and sick."
Listening to the words, Lian Zheng carefully reached out and lifted the futon on the body of the six princes, and gently pressed down the abdomen of the six princes.
"The abdomen of the sixth prince is swollen, and there are no scars on his limbs."
She inserted her finger between the skulls, "There were no specific wounds or nails on the head, and there were no suspicious findings." ”
"Fetch the silver needle."
Although there are drawbacks to the silver needle drug test, it is better to give it a try.
Pian Zheng carefully took the silver needle handed by Mulan and pricked the finger of the sixth prince.
"The silver needle is not blackened, the blood is normal, and there are no signs of poisoning for the time being."
Judging from the appearance, the six princes did seem to have a distressing attack, which led to sudden death, and there was no suspected cause of death.
Pity Zheng found nothing, so he could only go out of the inner hall with the wind first.
Everyone's eyes fell on the kite.
The queen and Concubine Dong Guifei had already entered the door from the next room, and were standing on both sides of the emperor at the moment.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has not found any signs of poisoning on the body of the six princes, nor has there been any injuries such as disputes and fights, plus the six princes have a distressed pulse case, these days have repeated palpitations, and the pulse case also records that the six princes can't sleep at night and are worried."
"The confessions of the palace maids around him are all heart palpitations, difficulty breathing, and falling to the ground before the death of the six princes, plus the surrounding teacups, tea bowls and decoctions, Weichen will order someone to investigate, if there is no doubt about the things investigated......"
Pian Zheng paused and said, "...... Then, the preliminary autopsy result of Weichen was distressed and sudden death. ”
The emperor, who was resting with his eyes closed, sighed slightly, and his dry ten fingers gripped the armrests of the chair and stool hard.
"Good end, how could the sixth prince be distressed and sick?"
The queen raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor, turned her head, and snorted: "Dong Weizhuang!" ”
"Wechen is here." Dong Weizhuang knelt on the ground in panic, "Returning to the queen mother, the six princes have been in a bad mood recently, they are depressed every day, their minds are depressed, and they can't go to bed at night, and Weichen has prescribed a calming decoction, but there is no curative effect......"
"I can't eat, I can't sleep, and the body of the six princes is gradually depleted in the long run, but Weichen really can't find any symptoms, and Weichen should die...... The emperor forgives the sins, the mother forgives the sins......"
"Since there is no cure, what are you going to do?" The queen was furious, and her slender jade finger pointed in the direction of Dong Weizhuang.
"Come on, drag Dong Weizhuang out......"
Before she finished speaking, the queen's shoulders suddenly sank, and she was stunned.
Before she could react, the people around her were already in chaos.
Only then did the queen turn her head sideways, and Wei Hua, who was lying on her body, was already bleeding from her mouth and nose, and fell on her shoulder, losing consciousness.
"Your Majesty? Emperor! Come...... Come on! ”
