A scream broke the silence of the East Palace.

Pingshuang walked in and saw He Yuran closing his eyes tightly, lying on the dresser, blood dripping down the dresser and dripping on the red carpet.

"Mother, mother!"

But no matter how Ren Pingshuang shouted, He Yuran would never open his eyes again.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the recitals in front of the emperor have been piled up. He flipped through the folds, but he couldn't read a word.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good!" A young eunuch hurriedly walked in, accidentally tripped up, staggered, and fell to the ground.

The emperor frowned and did not speak.

"What are you yelling about, why are you so unruly! The emperor is here. Something is wrong! Father-in-law Gao scolded in a low voice.

"Crown Princess...... She ......"

The emperor raised his head and asked, "Are you not feeling well?" ”

"The crown princess, she went down with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"What!" The emperor stood up violently.

Gonggong Gao was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly appeased the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are angry." ”

The emperor pushed the folds on the case to the ground: "One after another!" What the hell is going on! My sons, my wife, and my daughter-in-law, in such a short period of time, I have lost four relatives! Gao Yi, did I miss anything before? Why do I have to ...... so many times?"

Before the emperor's words were finished, he didn't take a breath and fainted.

It took a long time for the emperor to wake up. When I opened my eyes, I saw the imperial concubine and the high father-in-law.

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up, but you are frightened of the concubines." When the concubine heard that the emperor had fainted, she was so frightened that her soul was gone. ”

Concubine Zhao, who was standing not far away, glanced at the imperial concubine coldly and said, "The emperor is blessed with profound blessings and is blessed by God. ”

"Your Majesty, it's good that you're awake. Doctor Li said, you are depressed and need to take medicine to recuperate, and there is no big problem. Concubine Shu said.

When the emperor heard Concubine Shu's voice, he seemed to remember something.

He turned his head, looked at Concubine Shu, and said, "Quick, Gao Yi, go and announce the decree, let the third, fourth, and eighth children come back!" I can't afford to lose my son again! ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Shu burst into tears for a while and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Concubine Chen and Concubine De also hurriedly knelt down.

The three princes have been leading troops to fight for many years, guarding the frontier, and rarely returning to Beijing. Concubine Shu is frightened day and night, every day. Now when you hear the emperor say this, aren't you excited?

The Fourth and Eighth Princes traveled abroad and may not have returned to Beijing for a long time.

The four princes have been obsessed with landscapes and monuments since childhood, and they do not like to be bound in the palace. Later, he got married. Both the emperor and Concubine Chen thought that he would relent. Outcome. He actually took the princess to enjoy the mountains and rivers together!

And the eighth prince was influenced by the four princes, and he also began to be obsessed with the mountains and rivers.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the maid Pingshuang next to the crown princess was the first person to find out that the crown princess had committed suicide, and she was already waiting outside. Gao Yi said.

"Let her in."

"Spread the Flat Frost!" Gao Yi said.

Pingshuang hurriedly walked in and knelt in front of the emperor. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was stained with tears.

"What did the crown princess say before she left?" The emperor asked weakly.

Back to the emperor, Niangniang asked the slave maid to dress her, and also took out the step shake designed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. After opening, the mother said that she wanted to be quiet, so she let the slave go out. By the way, Niangniang also said that this East Palace used to be very lively, but now it is deserted. Niangniang said that only the Lingxian County Lord still remembered her in his heart and was willing to come to see her. Pingshuang said sadly.

"Princess Xiang has been to see the crown princess?" The emperor frowned.

Pingshuang nodded: "I've been here, sat for a while, and talked to Niangniang for a while." ”

The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "The crown prince is gone, where is there anyone who is willing to go to the East Palace to visit a princess who is already in name." The hearts of the people in this palace have always been chasing fame and fortune, climbing high and stepping low. Now a sincerity is really rare. The Lingxian County Lord is not a child who grew up in the palace, yes, yes! It's a pity to give marriage to the fifth child at the beginning! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the imperial concubine's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Poor Crown Princess's three children, my grandchildren!" The emperor's voice trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's all the slave's fault. If the slave didn't leave, but insisted on staying by Niangniang's side, Niangniang wouldn't have thought about it! Please give the emperor a slave to death! After speaking, Pingshuang kowtowed heavily.

"She's going to kill herself, and you can't stop her. Redeem the merits. When the crown princess is buried, you will go to Cining Palace. The Queen Mother is old, and you have always been by your side with your three children. You go and help the Queen Mother take care of the three children. The funeral of the crown princess should be grand. Lady Lady, I'll leave this matter to you. If you are tired, please step aside. After speaking, the emperor closed his eyes.

"The concubine obeys." Concubine Shu said.

The old man of the imperial concubine's face was even more ugly than just now.

"The concubine retired."

The imperial concubine saluted and walked out. Passing by Shufei's side, she glared at Shufei fiercely, and then walked out with her chin raised.

Concubine Shu glanced at the imperial concubine, with a very unfriendly expression on her face.

The imperial concubine was even more angry, but she couldn't attack. She quickly left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"That lady, something! Do you think that your son is coming back soon, and he can show off his might! Dare to give this palace a look! I haven't seen her for so long, and I thought she had a long memory! The imperial concubine lowered her voice, her anger was very high, and her eyebrows were twisted into a pimple.

"Don't be angry, you are angry with your body! This concubine has always liked to go against her mother, and I don't know if she has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall! Liu Dequan said.

Qiu Yue also said angrily: "That's it, this lady concubine really doesn't know what to do!" ”

The imperial concubine snorted: "Before her son comes back, I will finish her off!" ”

"Niangniang, there have been too many major events in the palace recently. If this matter is pricked to Concubine Shu, if the emperor investigates thoroughly, in case clues are revealed......" Liu Dequan persuaded.

"What are you afraid of!" The imperial concubine said nonchalantly.

Behind the imperial concubine's guard of honor, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhao were walking slowly.

"Sister Shufei isn't afraid?" Concubine Zhao asked.

"Good and dignified, what is this palace afraid of?" Concubine Shu asked rhetorically.

Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "Sister Shufei and the imperial concubine have never been on good terms. Now the position of the prince is vacant, and the imperial concubine has two princes in her hands. ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes: "She is so arrogant, does my sister think that the emperor can't see it?" The queen mother has only been gone for a few days, and her tail is almost up to the sky. It stands to reason that sisterhood is deep, and she shouldn't be grief-stricken, right? ”

"What Sister Shufei said is that the imperial concubine looks very good. She is now the head of the harem, and she is very proud. It's just that rejoicing in form is not the act of a wise man. Zhao Concubine said.

"I just feel comfortable talking to Sister Zhao, and I don't have to beat around the bush." Concubine Shu said.

When everyone left, the emperor opened his eyes. He raised his arm, and Grandpa Gao immediately helped him up.

Xiaofuzi came in with a cup of tea. Gao Gonggong picked up the tea and handed it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, let's take a sip of tea first. It is estimated that it will take a short time for the medicine to be cured. Gao Yi said.

The emperor took the teacup, took two sips, and handed it to Xiaofuzi.

Xiaofuzi withdrew.

"Your Majesty, the slave looked at the imperial concubine's face just now, which was very ugly!" Gao Gonggong said.

The emperor snorted, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Fang Caizhen deliberately said it to her." The princess's funeral was also deliberately handed over to Concubine Shu. ”

Gonggong Gao frowned, looking incredulous: "Your Majesty, why do the minions become more and more confused the more they listen!" Before you woke up, the imperial concubine had been chattering, and she was so worried! ”

"She's worried that if I can't wake up, the Queen Mother will help Lao Jiu sit on the dragon chair!" The emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, her old man's favorite is the Ninth Prince." Gao Gonggong said.

The emperor sighed and said, "Gao Yi, do you think the death of the crown prince has anything to do with Lao Jiu?" ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, the slave is stupid, but it doesn't mean that the slave is stupid." Among the princes, the relationship between the nine princes and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the best. What's more, the Nine Princes don't look like the kind of ambitious people. ”

"Are you stupid? I think you're the best", the emperor pointed to Gao Yi, "I was sad that day, and I was angry. Calm down, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. In this case. If I want to be the crown prince, who do you think will be the first to get rid of? ”

Gao Gonggong looked suddenly enlightened.

"However, the human heart has to be guarded against. Back then, when I was still a prince, I was used to fratricidalism. The emperor's eyes were full of worry.

"Nine Princes, no. The slave felt that on that day in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the five princes were too active. Gao Gonggong said.

The emperor pointed to his shoes. Gao Gonggong hurriedly picked it up and put it on for the emperor.

The emperor stood up.

"It can be seen by a person, it is really Sima Zhao's heart. On weekdays, it looks like the relationship is very harmonious. Gao Yi, can you see it, these days, the fifth child is like calling a person. He's serious, and it's really like that. ”

Gao Yi took a piece of clothing and put it on for the emperor.

"The slave thinks that every prince is very clever, but his mind is different."

The emperor shook his head, and sadness appeared in his eyes: "Ting'er! ”

"Your Majesty, no matter how the Prudent Criminal Division uses torture, the palace maid still insists that it was the Ninth Prince who asked her to poison and murder the prince. If the torture is used again, I am afraid that the person will be gone. The same is true of the two palace maids who testified against her. Gao Gonggong said.

"Continue to investigate, just three palace maids, you can't be sure. Lao Jiu's unicorn pendant is not physical evidence. I want to see who is so bold! Find out, no matter who it is, I want him to bury the prince! The emperor looked angry.

"The Nine Princes are now deeply affected. The whole person is decadent, and he has been reduced a lot. Gao Gonggong said.
