Wishful Things

"Perhaps something has delayed it." The queen said, "Why don't I ask someone to take a look at it?"

Emperor Qingming nodded, frowned slightly and said, "This child is still so confused..."

Aptitude and temperament, perhaps really are born, for this only son, he has exhausted his efforts to cultivate and guide, but he was three years old, and now he is ten years old, let alone political views, even tested one of his poems yesterday Very simple poems, I stumbled to answer...

However, compared with aptitude, what is more worrying is that frail body.

"Maybe it's really delayed." The queen seemed unwilling to make him worry too much, picked up a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "My concubine respects your majesty."

Emperor Qingming's eyes softened slightly, and he took the wine glass.

However, as soon as he put down the half-empty wine glass, he saw a palace servant rushing into the hall in a panic.

The palace man knelt down with a "plop", his face was ashen, and his voice trembled: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

"Why are you so panicked?" Emperor Qingming's face turned slightly cold.

The officials sitting on both sides also put away their smiles and looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground.

This is the queen's birthday banquet, and there are envoys from other countries, so the palace's disgrace in front of the imperial court will damage Daqing's face.

Just don't know why?

However, under the gaze of so many eyes, the eunuch not only did not calm down for a moment, cold sweat rolled down his cheeks on the ground, but he hesitated when he spoke hastily: "Your Majesty, it is His Royal Highness... Your Highness..."

Emperor Qingming's eyes changed slightly, and his voice was full of coercion: "Say clearly, what happened to the prince—"

The palace servants didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and smashed their heads heavily on the gold bricks: "...His Royal Highness fell into the Fuyun Pond...drowning into a coma and unconsciousness!"

"What!"

Emperor Qingming's complexion changed drastically, and he stood up immediately.

The Queen also trembled slightly.

In just a short moment, the atmosphere in the hall was turned upside down. The musician and dancer knelt down on one side holding her breath, and the expressions of all the officials were shocked. There was something they hadn't heard clearly during the female family dinner, and they secretly asked the people around them with their eyes.

Emperor Qingming had already descended the jade steps with great strides, and the Empress followed closely behind with a solemn expression.

As soon as the emperor and empress left, there was a commotion in the hall.

"what happened……"

"How could the prince drown!"

At the queen's birthday banquet, such a big event happened...!

Xia Tingzhen, Xu Qiwei and several other important officials left the table at the head, and the rest of the officials either followed closely, or chose to stay in the hall and wait for the news.

Among the female relatives, very few people followed.

"Mother, I'll go and have a look." Xu Mingyi whispered to Cui Shi.

Cui subconsciously wants to object, the crown prince is the heir apparent, and it is a matter of great importance to the country. There is nothing wrong with officials following the past, and it is better for the women in the back house to stay away——

But before she could open her mouth, she saw that the girl had already walked away from the table with her skirt in hand!

"Zhao Zhao—"

Cui quickly called out, but before this one could stop, Cui Yunwei also ran away!

It was as if he hadn't had time to close the fence, and the helplessness of seeing the sheep cubs hopping and running out one by one came to his heart.

Cui Shi and Wen Shi looked at each other, but had no choice but to catch up.

The other female relatives saw this scene, and after a moment of surprise, they followed up one after another—who wouldn’t want to gather around to have a look at such a thing, since all the wives of the eldest son and wife in the Duke’s Mansion have gone, it’s not too much for them to go and have a look together, right? ?

Fuyun Pond is in the garden behind Jiaotai Hall, and a group of people hurried on their feet and arrived soon.

Several imperial physicians had rushed over, and they were surrounding the rescued prince trying to rescue him.

"There is a lot of water in my stomach!"

"...Go to the hall to get the benches and quilts and pillows! Hurry up!"

"Needling first..."

This place is close to the Tai Palace, and the needed things are quickly fetched by the guards and eunuchs.

Xu Mingyi looked at the child in the crowd who was hugged on the bench covered with soft pillows, and unconsciously clenched the fingers in his sleeves slightly.

In the previous life, the prince drowned today.

This is not an accident that happened by chance, but someone deliberately harmed it.

The murderer was Prince Jing's son who came to Beijing to celebrate the Queen's birthday——

King Jing's son was sentenced to death because of this, and King Jing, who was far away in the feudal Hanzhou, only demoted him to a commoner because His Majesty still cared about brotherhood.

King Jing, who lost both his son and the throne, has since suffered from madness. It is said that one day he ran to the street with his hair all loose, shouting in public that the killing of the prince a year ago was instigated by the Duke of Zhen——

The words of a lunatic, and it was passed from Hanzhou thousands of miles away, how can we know whether it is true or false, and how can it be regarded as evidence?

It is said that His Majesty does not believe it at all.

But he couldn't bear to ask for a thorough investigation of Duke Zhen's papers. The emperor had no other choice. In order to appease the officials and the people, and to prove the innocence of Duke Zhen's mansion, he had to investigate thoroughly.

As a result, the investigation revealed evidence of the collusion between the Zhen Guo government and King Jing.

Even more than that, there is also the heinous crime of over-secret communication with the enemy country and leaking the secrets of Daqing——

With ironclad evidence under the mountain, the government of Zhen Guo was ransacked and beheaded.

During those years in Yangzhou, she always wondered whether the accident in Zhen Guo's mansion was necessarily related to King Jing and his son's murder of the crown prince?

She hadn't answered this question before, but since she learned that her grandfather had the idea of ​​surrendering military power, she roughly concluded that it should be irrelevant.

Because even if there is no incident of the prince drowning, the government of Zhenguo who surrendered his military power is still a lamb waiting to be slaughtered - he did not participate in the murder of the prince, and he also has the crime of collaborating with the enemy country waiting for them.

It's just that the people behind it are thoughtful, and they are very good at using everything available in order to make things look more logical. To put it bluntly, the crime of murdering the crown prince was probably just incidental to their Zhen Guo Gongfu at that time.

Therefore, in weighing whether to intervene in this matter these days, she is more inclined to the latter.

She entered the palace today just to get a closer look at the truth of this matter.

As for preventing the prince from being murdered, she didn't think about it——

However, even if she manages to save the prince from death this time, there is no guarantee of what will happen after tonight.

Because no matter who is behind the scenes, since he has murderous intentions towards the prince, if it is just someone secretly disrupting the plan this time, rather than the plot being exposed and unable to attack again, then the other party will definitely make another move.

And this is in the palace, it is extremely inconvenient for her as the daughter of a foreign minister to do things, and even her every move will be watched by others. Whether the person who wanted to kill the prince was King Jing Shizi, she couldn't be sure, if she intervened in this matter rashly, she might even cause immeasurable troubles to herself, not to mention whether she would be able to keep the prince or not.

Reason told her that she shouldn't take such a risk for a matter that has no direct interest with the Zhen Guo government for the time being.

She did choose to follow reason.

For her, this is not a difficult choice in itself.

But at this moment, she saw the child with her own eyes, lying there in a state of life and death. A child who was about the same size as Ming Dynasty, at least three quarters of an hour ago, told her with bright eyes that he admired General Xu very much— —

Thank you Nuo Qinghan for your daily rewards, and thank you for your recommendation tickets.
