Chapter 24: The Cause of Qihua's Death
The death of the third princess is also an "accident" planned by someone with a heart!
No one wants to kill the third princess, after all, Qihua is just a princess, not a prince, and although the emperor likes Qihua a lot, but the third princess Qihua does not get as much attention as the eldest princess Qiling after all, and no one has a deep hatred with Concubine Li, yes, it is not who is planning to murder the third princess.
"On the night when the third princess caught a cold, Wu Cairen went to see the third princess." This is the first sentence that Li Ling said to Concubine Li.
"Why?" Concubine Li asked in a hoarse voice.
"The third princess is sick with a cold, you have to be punished by the emperor for taking care of the third princess improperly, if some people provoke you to say that you don't want to raise a child who is not your own at all, and you don't have to raise the third princess at all, maybe the emperor won't let you raise the third princess, and some people will naturally think that the third princess can return to her biological mother." Some of the people in Li's words naturally refer to Wu Cairen.
"Even if the emperor doesn't let me be like the third princess, it won't be her turn!"
"Wu Cairen's vision has never been high, it just so happened that she went to see the third princess that night, and the palace maid who kept vigil fell asleep again, so she did it with a thought." Li Ling sarcastically said that Wu Cairen, as the biological mother of the third princess, was really ruthless.
Concubine Li was silent, she didn't expect that the death of the third princess would have something to do with her biological mother, if it was the governor of the third princess, I don't know what she would think? It's a pity that the third princess will never have a governor.
"And then?" Concubine Li's voice was a little hoarse.
"The palace maid in Concubine Xin's palace went to get ice on the day the third princess died," It's only early May, and few people in the palace can use ice, Li Ling paused, and then said: "Concubine Xin bought a little palace maid of your palace maid, and poured ice water into the third princess while people were not paying attention, and the little palace maid later explained that the third princess was too small, and she couldn't pour it if she poured a little ice water, and she was afraid that the third princess would cry and alarm others, so she held the third princess and put it on the ice." ”
Concubine Xin's original intention is probably that she wants the third princess to be sick all the time, not so soon, so that she can go to the emperor's ear to add oil and vinegar to the emperor's ear and say that Concubine Li has to deal with harem affairs on weekdays because of her assistant management of palace affairs, so she can't take good care of the third princess, which causes the third princess to be sick for a long time and is not good, in this way, maybe the emperor will let Concubine Li take care of the three princesses wholeheartedly, so that the matter of assisting in the management of palace affairs will fall into the hands of Concubine Xin.
It's just that Concubine Xin didn't expect that the little palace maid didn't know anything, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to complete the things that Concubine Xin explained, so she directly put the three-princess, who was only one year old and had typhoid fever, on the ice, although the three princesses didn't stay on the ice for too long, but the three princesses themselves were young and very sick, so they went like this.
Li Ling asked Dr. Ye Taiyi, if you have typhoid fever, it is best not to eat cold things, such as ice water, which will aggravate the condition, and even worsen the condition and endanger life.
The third princess was fed some ice water by the little palace maid, her condition must have worsened, and she was frozen on the ice cube for a long time......
Concubine Li is not a stupid person, Li Ling only said this, and she generally understood.
"I really hurt Hua'er." Concubine Li smiled bitterly.
Li Ling knew what Concubine Li meant, first, she felt that she didn't take good care of the third princess Qihua, so she gave Wu Cairen and Concubine Xin a chance, and second, because of the little palace power in her hand, Concubine Xin had such a mind and harmed the third princess.
Li Ling was silent for a while, this matter, blame Wu Cairen, blame Concubine Xin, naturally, Concubine Li is also at fault, but compared to Wu Cairen and Concubine Xin, Concubine Li's fault is just negligence.
"I have long seen that Concubine Xin is staring at this bit of palace power in my hand, but I think, I am not favored by the emperor now, and Hua'er has no brothers-in-law, if I have a little power in my hands, I can't make Hua'er's life better in the future, who knows, in the end, it will hurt her like this, if I hand over the palace power in my hand earlier, Concubine Xin will not be poisoned, my Hua'er ...... Hua'er ...... "Concubine Li finally couldn't help crying.
Although the third princess is not her biological child, the third princess has been carried to Concubine Li since she was born, and she has always been close to Concubine Li, but she is not very close to her own brainless and eager mother, Concubine Li has raised the third princess for more than a year, this relationship is closer than her own, and now the third princess has died at such an age, Concubine Li is more sad than Wu Cairen.
"What are your plans?" What Li Ling asked was what Concubine Li would do to Wu Cairen and Concubine Xin, two people who had a lot to do with the death of the third princess, after all, Concubine Li had said before that she would seek justice for the third princess.
"Did you find any evidence for this?"
Li Ling shook her head, "It can only prove that Wu Cairen has been to the third princess's house, but it can't prove that Wu Cairen deliberately let the third princess get cold and sick, after all, ......"
After all, Wu Cairen is the biological mother of the third princess, as long as she denies it, the emperor will think that she just went to see the third princess.
"Concubine Xin's side, only the people in her palace have gone to get the record of ice, and the little palace maid who was bought has committed suicide, if Concubine Xin doesn't admit it, there is nothing to do about her."
"I see, thank you." Concubine Li didn't say anything after hearing this, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Ling didn't say anything more, because she didn't know whether to comfort Concubine Li or reprimand Wu Cairen and Concubine Xin.
Just when Li Ling wanted to go out, Concubine Li spoke again: "You help me again, my power in the palace can be used by you in the future, and my father and brother can also help you once when necessary." ”
Li Ling showed a surprised expression, the Li family's power in the imperial court and the harem is not small, if it can be used by her...... However, with Concubine Li's ability, solving Wu Cairen is probably just a trivial matter, as for Concubine Xin, even if she is a pear, she can't be easily knocked down, so why didn't Concubine Li solve Wu Cairen by herself?
"There is only me who has a festival with Wu Cairen in this palace, no matter how secretive I am, as long as someone has a heart to investigate, I can still find out, I don't want to bring hidden dangers to my father and brother." Concubine Li seemed to know Liling's doubts, so she took the initiative to say.
Yes, a mere Wu Cairen is not a big deal, but the Wu family behind Wu Cairen is not easy to mess with, not to mention that Concubine Li's brother is still under Wu Cairen's father.
"I can help you, but Concubine Xin's side ......" Li Ling thought about it and felt that this was a good deal, so she agreed, but Concubine Xin's side couldn't act rashly.
"I'm not in a hurry on Concubine Xin's side, I can see her fate in my lifetime, and I can go down to see Hua'er with peace of mind." Speaking of the third princess, Concubine Li's voice lowered again.
Seeing this, Li Ling stopped bothering Concubine Li.
Turning around, Pear Ling walked out of the opaque room, and the oppressive feeling dissipated a little.
