Zhu Biao hurried to the East Palace, where there seemed to be chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs were walking in a hurry, running around like headless flies, neither doing anything practical, but they did not dare to be idle.
This was also the inner courtyard of the palace at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. As long as you have some experience and background, you will know that such a Liangdi matter is really not worth being so panicked.
"What's going on? Establish their rules!"
Liu Jin stopped in response to the promise, with a bit of shame on his face. He had been away for a long time and was like this. He didn't have any dignity in the palace. Even for an ordinary wealthy family, no matter what happened, they would still perform their duties and operate as usual.
Not mentioning how Liu Jin educated and punished the people below him, Zhu Biao walked straight into Wang Rui's bedroom. A group of concubines heard the letter early and came to greet him.
"I, my concubine, will respectfully welcome His Highness back to the palace. Your Highness Qianqiu."
Zhu Biao glanced at them and ignored them. After walking a few steps further, he heard Li Yan's voice urgently asking the imperial doctor: "Imperial doctor, can you save the adults and children? If you have any needed medicinal materials, just ask. There are also precious ones.”
The imperial doctor was helpless. When he saw the prince's figure, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. Li Yan turned around with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to raise her head to see the person's face. She just pursed her lips and stood sideways, her hands helplessly tangled. Use force.
There was a sour smell in the room. Zhu Biao walked to the bed without changing his expression. Several maids quickly moved out of the way, only to see a little woman lying on the bed with a bulging belly and a pale face. She had passed out.
"How's it going? What's the cause? Doctor Wang will say whatever he wants. I can bear it."
The imperial doctor looked at his colleagues in another place who were pretending to be busy, and could only bite the bullet and step forward: "Wei Chen and others checked and found that the soup Liangdi used today contained safflower and purslane. These are all serious problems." It’s good for pregnant women and fetuses, and now there are signs of miscarriage.”
Zhu Biao reached out and touched Wang Rui's cold wrist and nodded: "Then according to the current situation, can you save the adults? If you can save the child, then I will definitely give you a heavy reward."
Doctor Wang said in embarrassment: "Thanks to Liangdi's vigilance, she induced vomiting on her own after noticing the discomfort, but after all, it entered the body. The ministers and others dare not deceive His Highness. They can only do their best and obey fate."
Zhu Biao stood up and left the bed: "Please do your best, doctor. If any method can be effective, you can use it without any scruples about etiquette."
"Nuo, it's a matter of the blood of the Tian family. We will do our best. Your Highness, please lead all the concubines out first. We are about to perform acupuncture."
Then he turned his head and took a deep look at Wang Rui, who was extremely weak, and then at the bloody quilt under him. A hint of horror flashed through his eyes. He had not been so depressed for a long time. The fire has passed.
He left the dormitory at once, followed closely by the rest of the people, most of whom lowered their heads, not even daring to glance at the prince's back, and just hoped that nothing would get involved.
Zhao Huaian had been waiting for a long time outside the dormitory. He bowed respectfully to the prince and waved to him. Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids were escorted up, wailing and begging for mercy. They all had miserable wounds on their bodies, as if they had been tortured. Understand.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I really don't know anything. This is none of my business!"
"My maid, my maid, is just a sweeper in front of the palace. I can't even enter the bedroom. How could it be that my maid harmed Liangdi? Your Highness is aware of it."
"It's Baojuan. She has always been responsible for Liangdi's food. It must be her. She has nothing to do with the servant. Your Highness, please spare your life."
"I'm not a slave, I'm a slave. I'm loyal to Liangdi. Even if the ghosts and gods have blinded my mind, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. I beg Your Highness to understand clearly."
"Li Liangdi takes care of all the supplies. The servants only follow Liangdi's arrangements and never overstep their authority. It was not done by the servants. How can the servants have such courage? Your Highness has mercy."
"I belong to Li Liangdi. I was just ordered to deliver a few nourishing herbs today. I was detained here just as I was about to go back. This has nothing to do with me. Please let me go."
Fugui and Fugui carefully placed the armchair behind the prince, then put their feet against the chair and stood on both sides of the armchair behind them, looking fiercely at the group of sin slaves in front of them.
Zhu Biao tossed his sleeves and robe and sat down, closed his eyes and calmed his breathing. This hurried approach not only made his breath confused but also his mind. At this time, he needed to calm down and calm down.
Anyone who achieves great things must be calm when facing things. After being calm, he can be at peace, at peace, he can then worry, and after he is worried, he can gain.
When all the noise and excuses gradually subsided, Zhu Biao slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the Eastern Palace ministers and concubines. No need to say anything, just the pressure of his eyes made them kneel down consciously. Go down.
At this time, the Crown Princess also arrived on a walking chariot. The news was always slower to reach Kunning Palace than the front palace. After getting off the chariot with the help of the palace staff, Chang Luohua took one look and went straight into the bedroom.
In this large East Palace, the only people who can really be the heirs of Emperor Liangdi are her husband and wife. If there is an emergency, she can directly make the decision. No matter the outcome is good or bad, no one dares to fault it.
"Okay, I've only been away from the capital for a few months, but I didn't expect that the inner courtyard of the back house would catch fire. It's so courageous and courageous. Don't you know that murdering the emperor's heir will implicate the three clans?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh: "You have to know that being able to administer the medicine does not depend on how clever you are, but it is because this dynasty has no precedent and there is less precaution. In addition, Wang Liangdi is a princess of a foreign vassal who has entered the palace. There are no useful relatives to serve you in the palace."
"It's easy for you to bully her, but it's hard to clean up the end. Do you really think you can hide it? This palace is full of people coming and going. If you appear in a place where you shouldn't be, someone must have seen it. Nothing can be found out about the evidence, let alone torture methods."
"Haha, it can be seen that the person who could do this must be a fool. He has mistaken others and himself and hurts his relatives. He has to spend so many lives to appease my anger."
The prince's voice was not loud, and he was not as angry as expected, but everyone did not dare to relax at all. They only felt that the cold voice was like a knife piercing the heart and lungs, which made people tremble with fear.
Zhao Huai'an and others also stared at several of them who were shaking violently. After a while, they took special care of them. If they couldn't do it, they asked the executioner of the Duwei Mansion, the pro-army army, to come over. When he got it, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs, they were Even a dead soldier has to reveal his eight generations of ancestors.
Seeing that no one came forward, Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously: "Okay, in this case, those who should be detained will be detained, and the rest will go back to the palace to guard the door. No unauthorized actions are allowed without my order."
Ignore the slaves who are begging for mercy. Some of them must be innocent, but since this kind of thing has started, they must be severely punished. Let them know that something happened to the nobles they serve, and no one can stay out of it. .
Only in this way can we convince people's hearts so that they will not easily betray their master and plot against others because of some coercion and inducement, so that the palace of Nuo Da will not fall into a fight between you and me.
Of course, the physical pain is unavoidable, but as long as there is no problem, life is not affected. The Crown Princess will be rewarded and compensated afterwards, but in the end she will definitely not be able to leave the East Palace to serve her.
As the slaves were pressed down, most of the noble ladies who had never seen such a scene were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak. They helped each other to stand up. They weakly bowed to the prince and then went to their respective places with the help of the maids. The palace is gone.
Only Li Yan didn't need anyone's support after she stood up. She went straight to Zhu Biao, bowed down and whispered: "I have betrayed His Highness's trust and trust. Please be punished severely by Your Highness and follow the rules of the palace!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but turned his head away and didn't look at her. This idiot didn't want to get rid of himself quickly, but he actually took the initiative to get close to her. How can the punishment be light for this kind of thing?
What's more, the meaning of punishment at this time is far-reaching. Li Yan did not have any decree or decree when presiding over the East Palace. It was just a task that he took over on his own initiative, so he came to plead guilty without knowing the reason.
People outside will inevitably assume that Li Liangdi was jealous of Wang Liangdi, who had the same status, and gave birth to the emperor first, so he took action. Otherwise, why should he be punished?
A heavy punishment proves that it is true, a light punishment will show that the prince is shielding him because of his favor. As long as he is punished at this time, it will be difficult to escape the stigma and gossip, and even the prince cannot stop the world's mouth.
How can people really be arrested and imprisoned for chatting and laughing at the wine table in private? Even the kings of Jie and Zhou did not act like this, let alone today.
