After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 124 What a Crown Prince
It was also from here that Shen Xihe became more and more certain that he coincided with the person he had always suspected.

Even though he was 11% sure that Xiao Huayong was that person, Shen Xihe was still [-]% lucky.It has been some time since Mo Yuan thoroughly investigated what happened [-] years ago, and after Shen Xihe solemnly ordered him again, he went all out to investigate.

That night, Mo Yuan brought a person here. She was wearing a hooded cloak, and the hat covered her face. She could only be seen as a slim girl. Unexpectedly: "Zexiang, why are you here?"

"Princess." Gu Zexiang saluted.

Shen Xihe helped her up: "Why did you leave the palace?"

After Gu Zexiang was a criminal minister in Yeting Palace, she was not allowed to leave the palace, and if she was found out, she would be punished with beheading.

"Princess, Zexiang was taken care of by the princess. I was fortunate enough to join the Shangfu Bureau and became a female officer in charge of clothes. Today, I was lucky to go out with Cui Shangfu on business. I came here to thank the princess." Gu Zexiang said and stepped back. After two steps, he made a big salute.

"Being able to enter the Shangfu Bureau is because you have the ability to make clothes." Shen Xihe held her arm, "At least you are free from crime."

"There are many capable people in the palace, and the Ye Ting Palace is full of officials and relatives. Who doesn't have much skill? Being able to enter the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau is not just a matter of skill. If there is no princess, there is no way out."

Gu Zexiang spoke earnestly: "When you come here today, Zexiang only has one stick of incense. If the princess wants to know what happened 11 years ago, Zexiang knows a little."

"Tell me." Only then did Shen Xihe know the reason for Gu Zexiang's visit.

It turned out that not long after she entered Yeting Palace, she met a person who knew something about the Mingzheng Palace back then.

The crown prince was eight years old at the time. The prince was intelligent and looked down on all the kings. I'm afraid his appearance as a child prodigy is rarely remembered, but back then he was unrivaled in the limelight. His Majesty loved him like a treasure, and the Empress Dowager loved him even more.

That day when the crown prince entered the Mingzheng Palace, His Majesty was discussing matters with the courtiers. He was alone in the side hall. It was like this in the past. Every time His Majesty wanted to test the prince, the Crown Prince ate a bowl of butter cherries in the Mingzheng Palace, and suddenly vomited blood , complexion purple.

"Is it poison?" Shen Xihe was surprised.

"Yes, His Royal Highness did not suffer from a strange disease, but was poisoned. The Imperial Medical Office was helpless. It was the Empress Dowager who invited a Taoist to come to save His Highness's life. His Highness was bedridden for nearly a year because of this. Appearing in front of the courtiers, she loses her appearance like a skeleton."

Gu Zexiang repeated what he had heard to Shen Xihe: "Afterwards, the medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office noticed that His Highness's pulse was not like a living person's. His Highness often had bleeding from the ears and nose, and fainting was common. Taoists had no cure for the poison. They just said Let His Highness follow him into the Taoist temple, and if he can take care of him at all times, His Highness may survive two rounds."

It turned out that the rumor that Xiao Huayong could not survive two rounds actually came from this.

"The butter cherries..."

"This is even more bizarre." Gu Zexiang was somewhat secretive, "It has been investigated that the butter cherries were not harvested by His Majesty that day. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the Mingzheng Palace and saw that the butter cherries were not eaten by anyone. Such delicate things must be Your Majesty has everything, so feel free to eat it..."

Before His Majesty ordered the investigation, the two Shangshi and the two Si Shan from the Shangshi Bureau committed suicide by poisoning themselves. All clues were interrupted. A sudden death.

The news was blocked in the palace, and His Majesty did not kill all at once, so it did not arouse much suspicion.

Even the ministers of the DPRK and China only regarded him as the crown prince because he suddenly got a strange disease.

"In other words, the bowl of butter cherries that appeared strangely was probably aimed at His Majesty." Shen Xihe didn't have the first reaction to doubt Emperor Youning.

If Emperor Youning wanted to deal with the crown prince, he didn't have to wait until he was eight years old. If he had decided to abolish the crown prince early on, it would be easier for the baby to die.

Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince's talent is not manifested at the age of eight, it can be seen at the age of four or five, and a conclusion can be drawn at the age of six or seven.

The most important point is that Emperor Youning should not choose to attack at Mingzheng Palace. As an emperor, many people in the entire harem belong to him. If he wants to deal with a child, he can choose to choose a scapegoat in the East Palace or other places first.

This point, she can think clearly, Xiao Huayong must also be able to, it is definitely not because of his separation from Emperor Youning.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for eight years. There are rumors that the butter cherries from that year were the hands of an old man left behind by a noble concubine in the late emperor's palace." Gu Zexiang didn't know if this was credible, but since she heard it, she told Shen Xihe that it was true. It is up to Shen Xi and himself to judge.

"Princess, Zexiang will resign. If the princess has something to do in the future, you can go to the palace to find Zexiang." After Gu Zexiang finished speaking, she hurried to leave.

Knowing that her time was limited, Shen Xihe asked Biyu to hand her a bulging purse, which contained gold.

"Princess, you can't accept the incense." Gu Zexiang refused.

"Take it, there are so many people in the Shangfu bureau, who wouldn't want to go out of the palace to get some fresh air, if Shangfu has hired you, it must be done properly." How could Shen Xihe not understand these people's sophistication? "You accept it, and I will ask you to inquire about it later."

When Shen Xihe said this, Gu Zexiang couldn't refuse. After she accepted it, she left in a rude manner.

Shangfu Bureau Shangfu was waiting for her not far from the princess's mansion. The matter had already been settled. The two entered the palace together, returned to the Shangfu Bureau, and arrived at Cui Shangfu's bedroom. Gu Zexiang guessed: "Cui Shangfu Convince, why does Your Highness want me to pass these words on to the Princess?"

Cui Shangfu is over forty years old, with high black hair and no wrinkles at the end of his eyes, his eyes are calm: "Your Highness has his own intentions."

"Shang Fu, the princess is kind to me, I will never harm her." Gu Zexiang gritted her teeth.

"Your Highness is closer to the Princess than you." Cui Shangfu said, "What you tell me is the truth, and there is no falsehood. The Princess wants to know about this. Apart from Your Highness, only Your Majesty in this palace knows, that is, The empress dowager didn't know the details.

Your highness will avenge your revenge, and you will work hard in the palace in the future. His highness ordered that you don't need to kill him, as long as you are loyal to the princess.What I said today is that you have repaid His Highness for freeing you from slavery. "

After hearing this, Gu Zexiang was relieved.

Seeing this, Cui Shangfu smiled: "You are lucky to meet the princess."

To be taken care of by the princess is to have the favor of His Highness. In this palace... no, it should be in this imperial city.

Shen Xihe was in the princess mansion, after digesting the news that Gu Zexiang brought, she smiled lightly: "What a crown prince."

Gu Zexiang had changed. The last time she saw Gu Zexiang, Gu Zexiang's eyes were full of gloom, but this time they became clear, which meant that the hatred in her heart had been released.

She is the daughter of a criminal minister, how can she take revenge in such a short time?And how can one go from being a sinner to a slave?
Obviously, someone helped her.

　In the Tang Dynasty, there was no imperial dining room, only the Shangshi Bureau, and the imperial dining room was only available in the Qing Dynasty, hahahahaha.
