After a stick of incense was burned, more and more people left the banquet. There was a moon-viewing platform in the imperial garden, and all the men and women appeared in groups in the imperial garden.
But Zhu Yuanxi still couldn't find him, and the palace servants who came to look for him even alarmed the people admiring the moon.
Yan Wei grabbed a young eunuch who almost knocked down the altar: "What are you talking about in a panic?"
The young eunuch did not dare to waste time and broke away from Yan Wei: "Prince Qi, the second young master is missing. Your Majesty asked us to find someone quickly."
Yan Wei looked at Li Woyun beside him: "Is there still something like this? Let's look for it together."
Li Woyun nodded and followed Yan Wei's footsteps. When everyone in the Imperial Garden heard about this, they joined the search for someone without caring about admiring the moon and reciting poems.
Until half an hour later, Yan Wei's fair-weather friend Lu Kun shouted from the southwest corner of the lotus pond:
"Found it! I wish the second young master fell into the water!"
Zhu Yuanxi was seen floating among the half-dried lotus stems, lying on the water in a very strange posture. It was important to save people. Lu Kun didn't think much about it, and jumped into the lotus pond to fish for people without taking off his shoes and socks.
After hearing the words, the rest of the people rushed towards here.
Lu Kun was proficient in water properties. He jumped down and quickly fished Zhu Yuanxi out. He stuck his hands under his armpits and dragged him back to the shore.
When Zhu Yuanxi was laid flat on the ground, under the bright moonlight, everyone on the shore turned pale with shock when they saw Zhu Yuanxi's face.
With this look on his face... I'm afraid he has met with misfortune.
Lu Kun hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he hurriedly urged: "What are you doing standing still? People who should be saved should go to the imperial doctor to save people."
Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu rushed here in a hurry and saw Zhu Yuanxi's face that was so white that it turned purple. Zhu Sijia was shocked and froze on the spot, not daring to step forward to check for a long time.
Just as she and Yan Xiu walked away for a moment, Zhu Yuanxi was secretly murdered in the southwest corner of the lotus pond.
This place is far away from the place where Huaijin, Huaiyu and Yuan Xi play hide and seek, and although Zhu Sijia is not familiar with Zhu Yuanxi, she heard Yuan Cun mention that Yuan Xi has excellent water quality, but Yuan Xi's current condition——
Someone must be deliberately causing harm.
Zhu Sijia identified the murderer almost immediately.
Being able to commit murder in the palace, and wanting to use Zhu Yuanxi's death to cause a grudge between King Yan and Yan Xiu, who else could it be but the Queen Mother?
She never thought that the Queen Mother's methods were so sinister, that she would even sacrifice Yuan Xi's life in order to drive a wedge between Yan Xiu and King Yan.
He was only eleven years old. An hour ago he was playing with Huaijin and Huaiyu normally, but now he drowned in the lotus pond and lay coldly on the floor.
Zhu Scarlett turned her face away and held back her tears.
But Zhu Ya didn't care about the order of hierarchy. She pushed her way through the crowd and squatted in front of Zhu Yuanxi: "Let me give it a try. I wish the second young master may be saved."
After that, she first pressed Zhu Yuanxi's chest to drain him. When Zhu Yuanxi spit out a large amount of sewage from his mouth, Zhu Ya directly breathed into him mouth to mouth.
People around started talking about it:
"Is she the female official next to Zhaoyi?"
"How could she do such a thing to a ten-year-old child in full public view."
Yan Xiu scolded sternly: "Anyone who talks too much will be killed without mercy."
Everyone immediately closed their lips, not daring to express any anger.
While Zhu Ya was trying her best to rescue Zhu Yuanxi, King Yan and his wife, Zhaohua and others followed the imperial doctor and rushed here. As soon as King Yan saw Zhu Yuanxi's condition, he knew that there was no way to save him.
"My son!" King Yan knelt in front of Zhu Yuanxi and took him from Zhu Ya's hand, "Yuanxi, Yuanxi, wake up!"
Zhu Ya stood up tremblingly, with a sad face and reported to Yan Xiu and Zhu Sijia: "Your Majesty, Madam, I wish the Second Young Master that he... this servant has done his best."
Zhu Sijia and others had never seen her method of rescuing people just now, but even she couldn't do anything about it. It seemed that Yuan Xi was helpless.
Huaijin and Huaiyu came with Zhaohua. They were young and couldn't understand the situation at hand. They didn't understand why Zhaohua had a solemn expression like the other adults. Huaiyu pulled Zhaohua and asked:
"Mom, what happened to that little brother? Wasn't he fine just now?"
King Yan was very excited: "The county master has just seen Quan Zi?"
Huaiyu: "Yes, no one wanted to play with us in the Royal Garden just now, so my little brother took us to hide and seek together. My uncle and aunt also saw it."
King Yan turned his gaze to Yan Xiu and Zhu Sijia. He had never seen such a cold color in the eyes of her so-called father.
Zhu Sijia couldn't hold back and almost wanted to step forward to explain, but Yan Xiu silently stopped her.
Yan Xiu explained calmly: "Although tonight is the night of the full moon, Zhaoyi and I were worried about the safety of the children. When we learned that they were going to play hide-and-seek in the imperial garden, we left briefly in order to find the palace people. Take care of it.”
"When I came back, there was no trace of Second Young Master Zhu."
King Yan was heartbroken and asked in his tone: "Your Majesty and your empress have been away for such a short time, and the dog disappeared in the imperial garden?"
Yan Xiu: "Not bad."
King Yan hugged Zhu Yuanxi's body, stumbled up and left: "Old minister, I understand."
…
In the palace of Prince Yan.
Zhu Yuanxi died in the Haishi period. At the time of his death, a mourning hall was built in Prince Yan's Mansion with white silk hanging high.
The eldest son narrowly escaped death, and the second son accidentally drowned. King Yan was so exhausted that he locked himself in his study and saw no one.
Zhang Yin forced her way into the study with ginseng soup.
Although the couple had been at odds for many years, quarreling a little every three days and a big quarrel every five days had become the norm in Prince Yan's palace. But nothing that happened now could compare to the pain in Prince Yan's heart of losing his son, so he didn't care about Zhang Yin not inviting him. Since.
Zhang Yin put the ginseng soup on the table and comforted him: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. You have to attend Yuan Xi's funeral tomorrow, so you should rest first."
King Yan stared at the ginseng soup and smiled bitterly: "It's been a hard work for you to run the palace for so many years."
Zhang Yin: "I am not suffering, but the suffering I have suffered is nothing compared to the prince? I believe that I will get news about Yuan Cun soon. Please be careful."
King Yan sat down, drank the ginseng soup in one gulp, and lamented: "I never expected that His Majesty hates me so much! Yuan Xi is so young, yet Your Majesty can't wait to attack him!"
"If Yuan Cun also unfortunately dies in a foreign land, wouldn't our Prince Yan's house be extinct? I have never had any disrespect for the Yan family, but why did he actually want to move our Prince Yan's house to him in this dynasty? Forced by the dead end!”
Zhang Yin was so frightened that she stood up and closed the door and windows tightly: "Your Majesty, be careful, be careful that the walls have ears!"
King Yan: "I have nothing now. I am not even afraid of death. Why should I worry about his eyes and ears?"
"Although children are not good at lying, I finally figured it out. The eldest princess's palace is already close to him, so it is not difficult to let the prince and the county chief serve as his witnesses. The palace is his world, and he has no choice but to do what he wants. Who can stop it!"
Zhang Yin held down Prince Yan's arm: "Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will not be stupid enough to kill Yuan Xi tonight when people are so blind. I hope Your Majesty will treat it rationally."
King Yan: "A woman's opinion! You don't even understand what kind of monster he is. That's all, I don't want to tell you so much. Prepare your horses and go to Chen Mansion!"
