Chapter 862: The Death of the Harem Concubine
On the way out of the palace, several ministers walked up to his side and were slightly sorry, "Your Royal Highness has done your best, but for some reason, the emperor is unwilling to crown you the crown prince?" ”
"You don't have to say more, go back!" Although his heart was full of anger, he would not sprinkle all the fire on their heads, and he could see clearly above the court, even if they continued, the emperor would not want to make him the crown prince now.
He didn't understand that the emperor had also loved him before, and he was more partial to himself for the position of the crown prince, but for some reason, all of a sudden, he was biased towards the side of the fifth prince, and he always kept silent about the position of the crown prince.
After returning to the mansion, he called out the secret guards he had trained for more than ten years, and these secret guards were cultivated by him with a lot of energy, and even the emperor did not know.
These comforts were only at his command, and he instructed them to investigate the cause of the Emperor's sudden indifference to him, and to keep an eye on the Emperor and his concubines in the palace.
The next day the news came back that a concubine in the palace was pregnant, and that it had been eight months since she gave birth.
Thinking of these two princes, he slapped heavily on the table and chair in front of him, and the table and chair instantly shattered into slag.
"Find a way to get rid of the child in the concubine's womb, this prince will never allow any concubine to be pregnant, and they are not allowed to give birth to a child and compete for the throne with this prince."
Although after these concubines gave birth to children, these children were not enough to be equal to him, but according to the emperor's character, he must wait until the children reach adulthood, and then they will become his biggest threat. He would never allow such a thing to happen.
The secret guard was ordered to fly in the direction of the palace, and went directly to the concubine's residence, they were the secret guards, who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and naturally did not do such troublesome things as poisoning, but solved them directly.
The next day, the news of the concubine's tragic death spread out, and after the emperor learned the news, he immediately rushed over, and sure enough, the concubine and the child in her womb were already dead.
Although he was not sad about the death of the concubine, the child in her womb was his hope, and now that she was dead, he only felt angry and ordered a strict investigation.
He instructed the Criminal Department to investigate this matter, and the time given was only ten days, and in the face of such a tight time, the waiter of the Criminal Department quickly organized people to investigate.
First of all, the investigation began with the concubines in the palace, all of whom had ghosts in their hearts, and they were trying their best to conceive the emperor's child, but none of them could get pregnant.
And now, the concubine is eight months pregnant, and it is about to be time to give birth, and they are naturally anxious.
The concubine's status is not high, and if she gives birth to a child, whether the child is male or female, her status will surely rise.
In addition, the emperor now only has one son, the second prince, and he doesn't want to hand over the throne to the second prince, so he pins his hopes on the concubine's child.
If you want to keep your status and the emperor's favor, this child can't be born, so their suspicion is the greatest.
But they were all concubines, and it was not good for the servants of the criminal department to bring them directly for questioning, so they began to investigate gradually in the palace, starting with the palace maids and eunuchs.
It's just that the spiritual power of these palace maids and eunuchs is low, and although this concubine is not high, her strength is also above these palace maids and eunuchs, and if you want to kill her, your strength will naturally be above her.
The strength above her, except for the other concubines, there is no one else, so after the almsgiving person told the emperor, the emperor ordered him to investigate thoroughly, even if it is a concubine in the harem, it is inevitable to be investigated.
After Mu Youluo heard the news, he just smiled coldly.
Chun'er, Xia'er, and Mu Ya all stood next to her to discuss this matter, they only felt that the palace was a place where people eat people and didn't spit out bones, and they didn't even let go of the child in their wombs.
Mu Youluo turned his head, looked at a few people, and said lightly, "Do you really think that this matter was done by the concubines of the palace?" ”
"Miss, isn't it? If this concubine is pregnant, she will naturally be jealous, and those who have no children will definitely kill them in order to compete for favor! Just pity the concubine and the child in her womb. ”
"That's right! No matter what the adults are, but the child in the womb is innocent, what is the difference between these people in the palace and beasts when they do this? ”
"O you! It's still too simple. Mu Youluo shook his head and looked at them.
If the three of them enter the palace, they will definitely not live for two days, and with their minds, they will be sold, and they will have to help others count the money.
"Miss, is there anything we don't know about?"
"Think about it, if it was really the harem concubines, how could they kill people directly with great fanfare? To be able to survive in the palace for so long, the scheming must be very deep, will they use this method? ”
"Besides, what the harem is used to is nothing more than poisoning or framing, how can it be possible to do it directly?"
After listening to Mu Youluo's words, several people nodded in unison, feeling that what she said was very reasonable.
