On the tenth day of September, the fourth prince Dongzi is the first birthday.

Since Concubine Rong was gone, the four princes were raised by Meng Xiuyuan of the Qianxue Hall of Kunli Palace, and the first birthday banquet of the four princes was naturally set up in Meng Xiuyuan's Qianxue Palace.

When Concubine Rong, the biological mother of the four princes, was alive, she was quite favored by the emperor, so although the four princes were not favored by the emperor like the eldest prince, they were definitely much more favored than the third prince, and Meng Xiuyuan herself was a talented woman, but later because of some things, she gradually fell out of favor.

Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan and the mother and son of the four princes, although they are not favored in the harem, they are definitely middle and upper-middle, so the first birthday banquet of the four princes is not small, and it is almost the same as that of the fifth princess.

The concubines in the harem are also very face-saving.

Concubine Li and Xiao Zhaorong, who were only pregnant, did not go, after all, there were many people at the banquet, and it would not be beautiful if they collided with the child in their wombs, not to mention that the two of them were much higher than Meng Xiuyuan, even if they didn't go, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't say anything.

Li Ling didn't plan to go, but because of her relationship with Concubine Rong and Meng Xiuyuan, Li Ling still went, but she showed up a little and left, I believe Meng Xiuyuan can also understand.

In fact, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't wait for the pregnant concubine not to go, after all, if there was anything else, she was also responsible.

In the end, the first birthday banquet of the four princes passed peacefully in Meng Xiuyuan's fear.

However, that night, the four princes launched a high fever, and their body temperature could not be lowered for a long time, and the imperial doctor had been waiting beside him, but to no avail, the emperor was originally resting in Meng Xiuyuan's shallow snow hall, and as soon as the four princes had an accident, the emperor immediately knew, but seeing that the imperial doctor was helpless, the four princes had a high fever and did not go away, and the emperor was also very worried.

This night, the lights of the Qianxue Hall of Kunli Palace were turned on overnight.

It wasn't until the next day when the rooster crowed, the temperature on the body of the four princes dropped a little, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if the high fever of the four princes could not go down, then even if the four princes were finally rescued, they would be burned out of their brains and become an idiot like the eldest prince.

However, Meng Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Fu Chongyuan made a fuss over there.

The third prince also had a high fever in the morning, and the symptoms were exactly the same as those of the fourth prince, and now Zifu Chongyuan was anxious, and hurriedly went to Meng Xiuyuan to invite the imperial doctor who treated the fourth prince to her Ruxing Pavilion.

Meng Xiuyuan was originally a little reluctant, after all, the fourth prince only had a little fever, but the body temperature still did not drop completely, but after all, the situation of the third prince was more serious than that of the fourth prince, if she stopped the imperial doctor at this time, in case the third prince really had a bad day, then she would not be able to get out of it.

Before the imperial doctor walked to Fu Zhaoyuan's Ruxing Pavilion, Yu Chongrong from the Blue Window Pavilion of Lanyue Palace came to rob the imperial doctor, and the eldest prince also launched a high fever.

Naturally, Yu Chongrong failed to win against Fu Chongyuan, and the imperial doctor who came out of the Qianxue Palace naturally went to Ruxing Pavilion first, and Yu Chongrong could only go to the Tai Hospital to announce the arrival of other imperial doctors.

Now everyone in the hospital is in danger, after all, it is the prince who is sick, if any prince can't be cured, then there is no good end waiting for them.

Three princes in a row all had high fevers, and the concubines and concubines with children in the harem were all panicked, for fear that the next one would be their children's turn.

When Li Ling heard this, she was also quite worried, after all, there were two children in her palace, and Li Ling immediately asked people to carefully serve the second prince and the fifth princess, and did not let them go out.

But this thing is strange, why are all the good ones sick? The symptoms are still exactly the same, could it be an infectious disease? But why did only a few princes get sick? Could it be that this infectious disease is only transmitted to the prince in the palace? If it is only infected to the prince, how can the second prince and the fifth prince be fine?

Especially the fifth prince, who is only five months old, if he is infected, the fifth prince should be the first to be infected, right?

Pear Ling smelled a hint of conspiracy, after all, in this world, how can there be such a coincidence? Most of the coincidences are man-made.

Soon, there was a rumor in the palace, saying that the illness of the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince was all given by someone, and as for who this person was, it was spread in all kinds of ways, saying that everyone had it.

But the most credible of them is that the person who defeated the princes is the second prince, and this theory is mainly aimed at people who are related by blood, who is related to the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince? In addition to the princes and princesses in the palace, there is only the emperor, it can't be that the emperor has restrained a few princes, right?

Since it is the prince, then this person should also be the prince, not the princess, the prince who is not sick is only the second prince and the fifth prince, but the mothers of the five princes are still alive and well, and not long ago, the biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Jia, died, isn't it that the second prince was killed by the second prince!

Rumors together, Pear Ling asked people to check, and also disposed of some palace people, but the reason why rumors became rumors is because they couldn't find the source, not to mention that Pear Ling can only dispose of some unimportant palace maids, eunuchs, other powerful palace people, or concubines, Pear Ling can't also dispose of it, right?

So this rumor spread more and more, and it was too late for Pear Ling to stop it.

But it was precisely because of this rumor that Pear Ling had a clue about this inexplicable thing.

Obviously, this matter is aimed at the second prince, but the second prince is such a young child, who will have any deep hatred for him?

The first person to suspect is Yu Chongrong, after all, Concubine Jia's death has something to do with Yu Chongrong, and the second is Su Chongrong, the biological mother of the fifth prince, after all, the second prince is the prince, in addition to the eldest prince, the second prince is the eldest, and this time, except for the second prince, only the fifth prince did not have an accident, if it is said that Su Chongrong used the eldest prince and others to get rid of the second prince so that he could pave the way for the fifth prince.

Li Ling had the object of suspicion in her heart, so she naturally asked people to check it as soon as possible, first of all, she had to start with the menacing illness of several princes to see who took advantage of the loophole.

At the same time, Li Ling also has to think of a way to deal with this matter, if the person behind this is really coming for the second prince, and this rumor spreads, it is nothing more than wanting the second prince to be sent out of the palace, after all, it is the emperor's son, as long as it is far away, no one can be restrained, and the emperor will not ruthlessly ask for the life of the second prince, but he will be sent away from afar, but if there is any accident on the way, it is not who can predict it.

Since someone is beating the idea of the second prince under her nose, then she will let this person steal chickens and rice.
