Time flew by and another half month passed.
Shu Yuwan was playing with Yue'er when she saw her elder brother Shu Yuyang coming over, looking hasty and ugly.
Surprised: "Brother? What's going on?"
"Yuwan, the prince has been poisoned and is unconscious." Shu Yuyang said as calmly as possible.
The cloth tiger in Shu Yuwan's hand loosened and almost fell to the ground, but was squeezed tightly again: "When did it happen?"
"Just for today, I won't come to see you in the next few days. I'll arrange for guards to guard the door."
"I'm going back home first."
Yue'er didn't know why, but when she saw that her uncle didn't hug her today, she pulled Shu Yuyang and refused to let her go: "Uncle, uncle~"
Shu Yuyang forced a smile and picked up Yue'er: "Yue'er is good, uncle has something important to do today and will bring you delicious food in a few days."
Shu Yuwan took Yue'er from Shu Yuyang's arms: "Brother, go back quickly."
Shu Yuyang nodded and left quickly.
Yue'er pulled Shu Yuwan's hair and brought Shu Yuwan back to her senses.
How is this going?
It's only been a year. It should have happened six years later. How could it happen so far in advance?
Did she change something that led to such a big change?
Or is it that the prince's poisoning this time was not the drastic change six years later?
Shu Yuwan couldn't think clearly and was very worried.
But she can't do anything now, she can only wait...
In the palace.
The dull atmosphere was so oppressive that even Eunuch Hong stood stiffly beside the emperor, not daring to speak. The other young eunuchs in Chengqian Hall even tried to slow down their breathing to avoid drawing attention to him. exist.
The leader of the imperial hospital and a group of imperial doctors knelt down below.
"When will the prince wake up?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
The head of the hospital stood up and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to wake up tomorrow."
The emperor looked a little more relaxed, nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, let's all go to the East Palace to guard him. We must ensure that the prince is safe."
"I obey the decree!"
A group of imperial doctors responded in unison and exited Chengqian Palace.
The emperor turned his head again and said to Eunuch Hong: "Have you found out?"
Eunuch Hong quickly stood up from where he was cowering just now and replied: "It was a young eunuch named Chen Jin from the East Palace Dining Bureau who took advantage of others and put poison into the prince's meal."
The emperor asked in a cold voice: "Who ordered it?"
He coaxed the father-in-law to kneel down and whispered: "This little eunuch seems to have some connection with Concubine Zhang. It has not been confirmed whether it was Concubine Zhang who ordered her this time."
Concubine Zhang is also an old man next to the emperor. In the heart of the emperor, she has always been gentle and virtuous. For so many years, there has been no fight or competition. The emperor has not established a queen. Ever since the Yuan Dynasty, Concubine Zhang has been taking care of the harem. .
The emperor's expression became a little unreadable after hearing Concubine Zhang: "Continue to investigate."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Hong did not dare to say anything. Whether it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Concubine Zhang, he could not comment on their relationship with the emperor.
After Eunuch Hong also withdraws, arrange for people to do things.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair for a long time and then sighed.
After all, it's all about fighting...
On the second day.
A group of imperial doctors knelt not far from the bed of the Prince of the East Palace.
The emperor sat beside the prince's bed and said angrily: "Chen Qing, why hasn't the prince woke up yet?"
Chen Qing broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know why: "Back to the emperor, the prince's pulse condition has stabilized and the poison is almost gone. His body should be fine. The poison may have damaged the inside and needs to recover."
When the emperor heard that the poison had been eliminated, he felt relieved and asked, "When will the prince wake up?"
"You should wake up later today, or tomorrow at the latest."
...
However, on the third day, the prince still didn't wake up and could only survive by force-feeding some soup.
All the doctors in the imperial hospital couldn't explain why.
In the East Palace, everyone's breathing became more and more depressed~
"You said that the prince will wake up today at the latest. Why hasn't the prince woke up yet? Even if you can't find the reason, you, the head of the hospital, don't have to do anything!"
Chen Qing could only lower his head and apologize bitterly.
He really couldn't figure out why the prince still didn't wake up.
The emperor waved his hands irritably, and then said coldly: "Go, there is no need to apologize to me, if anything happens to the prince, the prince will be buried with him!"
Chen Qing and a group of imperial doctors tremblingly went to discuss countermeasures~
As for Eunuch Hong, he was still guarding the Shenxing Department: "Have you not asked yet?"
The eunuch in charge of the Shenxing Department lowered his head: "I was sentenced to death just now, but Chen Jin couldn't bear it and died..."
Eunuch Hong stood up with a roar and pointed at the leading eunuch: "You want to die! Do you know how important this witness is! After so many years of experience, you can actually put people on trial! Let's see, you are so stupid You don’t want your head anymore!”
The eunuch in charge of the Shenxing Department was about to cry, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Eunuch Hong, I really didn't do anything! I didn't know this little eunuch was so bad!" He didn't know what was going on with this little eunuch. Normally, he is measured, and such a punishment would be life-threatening.
"My father-in-law can only tell the truth to the emperor. Let's see if the emperor believes you or not!"
After hearing this, the eunuch in charge of the Shenxing Department knew that something bad was going on. In desperation, he suddenly had an idea and shouted: "Eunuch Hong, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and see if this little eunuch was not in good health before!"
Eunuch Hong frowned, nodded in agreement, and asked his young apprentice to call for someone from Tai Hospital.
After a while, the imperial doctor came in a hurry. Now, the imperial hospital did not dare to take anything involving the prince's poisoning lightly, and sent a mature and prudent old doctor over.
The eunuch in charge of the Shenxing Department looked at the old doctor expectantly. After a long while, the old doctor put away his needles and bottles, and turned around and said: "This father-in-law has been chronically poisoned. Even if he was not tortured, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive for a few more days.”
The eunuch in charge of the Shenxing Department’s eyes lit up when he heard this, what an unexpected surprise!
Eunuch Hong looked solemn and immediately arranged for someone to check.
...
By the time Eunuch Hong returned to Chengqian Hall, he had already adjusted his mood.
"What's wrong?" The emperor looked haggard.
"Back to the Emperor, the young eunuch who poisoned His Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned in advance and died in the Sentence Department just now."
After hearing this, the emperor sneered: "The arrangements are really thorough."
Eunuch Hong didn't dare to answer.
When the matter has reached this point, it is difficult to make further progress. The existing clues point to Zhang Guifei. Is Chen Jin the secret stake that Zhang Guifei arranged to enter the East Palace, or was he arranged to a place like the Dianshan Bureau. Chen Jin was even found in the room. The evidence of contact with Zhao Haiquan, Zhang Guifei’s close aide, what to do next, the emperor has to say~
The emperor's eyes darkened: "Arrest Zhao Haiquan into the Criminal Punishment Department, and we must ask for the result."
"Practice."
"Concubine Zhang's right to manage the Sixth Palace has been taken back, and Concubine Shu will take care of it for the time being. Concubine Zhang is confined to Chonghua Palace, and the second prince Ming Ge is confined to the second prince's palace. He cannot leave unless summoned."
Eunuch Hong was shocked. It seemed that even the imperial concubine and the second prince were far less important than the prince: "Yes."
As soon as the news came out,
The court officials were worried, especially the second prince's mother's family and the ministers who secretly supported the second prince.
Not only the imperial concubine, but the emperor also grounded the second prince!
Could it be that it was really the Second Prince who did this~
Other courtiers went to court with great trepidation, fearing that the emperor would be angry.
The emperor moved the memorial to the East Palace and stayed by the prince's side. Seeing the prince sleeping, he felt anxious and said, "Jin'er, please be sure nothing happens to you."
