Zhao Wujiang came to Ning'an Palace with great momentum.
The Ning'an Palace was filled with mourning, and the maids covered their faces and sobbed.
Zhao Wujiang quickly rushed to the palace.
"Your Highness, you...you are here..."
A palace maid in a pink palace dress knelt at the door of the palace. When she saw the fourth prince, she wanted to salute, but she was already out of breath from crying.
The palace maid's eyes were a little red and swollen, and tears were trickling from the corners of her eyes, as if her mother-in-law's death had made her so sad that she couldn't help herself.
"Get out of the way!" Zhao Wujiang shouted, trying to open the door of the palace.
The palace maid did not stop her, she just sobbed and said:
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, the empress's phoenix body has been...taken away by Eunuch Gao."
With a "bang", Zhao Wujiang opened the door to the bedroom. He walked in, observing all the furnishings in the room, trying to find clues.
The Eunuch Gao mentioned by the palace maids was, not surprisingly, the chief steward of the harem, Gao Yuanzhu. Apart from the empress, Gao Yuanzhu was basically the most powerful person in the harem. He was so powerful that he was even more powerful than all the concubines.
"I came to see my mother two days ago. She was still fine. Why did she suddenly die in the palace?" Zhao Wujiang looked cold and suppressed his anger.
The palace maid cried, wiped her tears, and knelt down:
"Your Highness, it rained heavily last night. The empress was worried about the fodder that was being dried in the small garden for making sachets, so she went with an umbrella and took her slaves to collect it.
Unexpectedly, it was dark and the road was slippery, and the queen accidentally almost slipped.
Although the servant helped the empress, the umbrella fell to the ground...
That rainwater, that rainwater that was bone-chilling, wetted the empress’s body. Maybe she was infected with the wind-cold at that time. "
The palace maid could not stop crying as she spoke.
Zhao Wujiang frowned as he listened, not knowing whether the palace maid was really crying for Concubine An, or whether she was just trying to take advantage of the situation like him.
But he knew that the Ning'an Palace in Nuo Da, and almost all the eyeliners used to monitor Concubine An, were all fake.
His anger was also false, it was just for show, to hide his identity, and to investigate the secret behind Concubine An's death.
"It's 10 o'clock today. When I saw that the empress hadn't gotten up yet, I went to pay my respects and inquire." The palace maid in pink palace dress lowered her head and wiped her tears over and over again, her whole face looking swollen:
“In the past, at the beginning of the chen hour, the empress would get up early.
The servant went to take a look and found out that the empress was lying in bed and her breath was a little sluggish.
The slave wants to go to the imperial doctor, but the empress will not let the slave go.
This slave wants to tell His Highness that you...
But the empress...also...won't let this servant go to find you...
He said, just take a dose of autumn warming decoction and then have a good sleep...
But..."
The palace maid was crying as she spoke. She could no longer stop crying. She sobbed suddenly:
"But Shen Shizheng, I went to call the queen again, but the queen was already... but she had lost her breath and her soul had dissipated..."
Zhao Wujiang heard many doubts.
For example, the weather may be cold, but you won’t get wind chill.
Especially those who are practicing.
An Fei's cultivation level is not strong, but she is definitely a practitioner and cannot be infected by the cold.
Sometimes Zhao Wujiang is always worried about catching the cold, but it's just a joke on himself.
Furthermore, even if you are infected with wind and cold, how can you stay awake from morning to afternoon, with your mind dissipated?
If you are in a secular country, you are infected with wind and cold, and there is no medicine, and the fever does not go away, your brain is burned out, and you die, maybe it is possible.
But this was within the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty.
There are almost no clues about how Concubine An died.
Because the biggest clue lies in Concubine An's body, which was immediately taken away by Gao Yuanzhu, the chief steward of the harem.
How long does it take for the message to be delivered?
A father-in-law took the decision to take the body away without authorization?
Although it is within the harem regulations, is it too urgent?
It's like destroying all traces of the truth.
Who is behind this?
Emperor Ji Tang?
Prince Ji Boying? Or other princes?
Or the queen?
Could it be that he is the Imperial Master?
Two concubines died suddenly, what truth is hidden?
