The cold noodle emperor and the pretty princess

Qin'er took the silk scarf and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and stroked his cheek with her small hand, "Don't think too much, if the emperor has any doubts, you might as well send someone to investigate. Whether the emperor is alive or dead, it is inevitable." There are clues to be found."

"En." Chu Shen nodded, and hugged Qin'er tightly.

She was a little out of breath from being hugged by him, so she muttered, stretched out her hand to caress his waist, "Your Majesty."

"Well, it's okay, go to sleep." He lay down again with his arms around her, and kissed her on the face.He put his fingers on her belly, rubbed it gently, and subconsciously hugged her tightly.

Chu Shen frowned, flipped through the documents between his fingers, and listened to Han Su's report.

"Back then, Concubine Hui was loved by thousands of people, and she must have attracted hatred from many parties. It is rumored that Concubine Hui gave birth to a stillborn baby because of a bowl of tonic given by the late Empress Dowager. But because no evidence was found, No poison can be found, and the queen mother cannot be convicted."

"How's the investigation by Imperial Physician Zhong?"

"Physician Zhong performed confinement for Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhuang at the same time. After Concubine Hui's incident, although he was not implicated, he quickly resigned and returned to his hometown. He has not been seen for many years. This time he will appear in the In the capital city, it is said that the whole family suffered from a strange disease, in order to treat the disease, the family wealth was exhausted, and there was no way out, so they came to the capital city to seek help from relatives, and wanted to ask relatives to help them. However, I found out that Dr. Zhong Taiyi has no relatives in Beijing."

Chu Shen sneered.

Han Su cupped his hands again and said, "In the case of Concubine Hui's dystocia, it was even more coincidental that the concubine Zhuang who gave birth to the baby with Concubine Hui that night was also Concubine Zhuang from Jinghe Palace. They walked there very diligently, and that night, they were also in Concubine Hui's palace. Not long after Concubine Hui moved, Concubine Zhuang's wife was about to give birth, and the two gave birth to the emperor's heir successively. Concubine Zhuang... gave birth to His Ninth Highness, Chu Xuan."

at the same time.

King and palace.

The concubine accidentally knocked over the tea bowl.

There was a clang.

"Your Majesty." The personal eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to serve her, wiped the tea off her body, and ordered people to remove the things quickly.

"Is Zhong Rengui really dead?"

"Yes ma'am, this Zhong Rengui actually dared to return to the capital. The failure to kill him back then was caused by a servant's mistake, which left such a big hidden danger for my majesty."

"Okay, don't say anything." The concubine calmed down, "Don't say anything, don't say anything."

"Yes."

Chu Shen kept his head down, rubbed his forehead and said nothing.

Han Su paused and then said, "I went to investigate the midwife who delivered the baby back then, but found that she died of illness a long time ago. There are too many coincidences in this matter. Your Majesty, do you want to continue the investigation with the humble official?" .”

Chu Shen waved his hand, "Tell me about that man named Lu Zhang first, how did you find him?"

"The humble official is about to pay back." Han Su said with a serious face, "The man was found, but the body was messed up by the beast. But the humble official investigated, although the murderer deliberately messed up the environment and created a beast There are traces of haunting, but the wound is clearly man-made."

"That is to say, someone found Lu Zhang before us? The things were searched."

"I don't think so." Han Su clasped his hands, "Lu Zhang shouldn't be so stupid to put things on his body. He must have kept such important things in a secret place."

"But now that he's dead, everything becomes an insoluble mystery."

"The humble official will continue to investigate and find out who is close to Luzhang. Maybe he will give that thing to that person."

Chu Shen nodded.

"Your Majesty, do you want to investigate the matter of Concubine Hui?"

Chu Shen was taken aback.

Time seems to go back to the year when I was seven years old.

He was taken back to the palace by his father following his mother's prosperity.

The first time I met Brother Xuan in the palace, he was only four years old, and was punished by Concubine Zhuang to kneel in a remote corner of the garden.

That place is really remote, close to the cold palace.If he hadn't dragged his mother around on a whim, I really don't know how long he would kneel.

The sun is shining.

His little body was tense.

Her little face was flushed red from the sun, and she might faint from heat stroke at any time.

At that time, the concubine mother was frightened, and hurriedly picked him up, sat under the shade of a tree, hugged him on her lap and fed him some water. He remembered very clearly that the little child had been kneeling under the scorching sun for so long She didn't shed a single tear, but she limp in the concubine's arms, crying so sadly.The concubine mother's tears flowed down on the spot, and she looked at him sadly.

Chu Shen was young back then, so he didn't understand why Concubine Zhuang treated his younger brother like this. Concubine Zhuang usually looks so kind and amiable, but she never expected to be so strict with her son.

Now that I think about it, my hands and feet are really cold.

Mother and child are inherently natural, and such things as blood relationship cannot be clearly explained.Just like him back then, he didn't get along very well with his younger brothers in the palace, but he liked Brother Xuan very much from the first time he saw him.The mother is also like this, and the mother was also touched by the younger brother at the first sight, and she can't help but love him anymore.

He remembered it clearly.

Concubine Zhuang came here in a rage and snatched away the younger brother on the concubine's lap, and she spoke very harshly, and her beautiful face was distorted: the concubine taught her son, there is no need for the concubine Hui to intervene.Xuan'er has been weak and sick since he was a child. The concubine wanted him to exercise his body. If you don't know, sister Hui, don't try to stop him.besides!Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of the emperor, and try to snatch my son with some dirty tricks!I know, Xuan'er is as old as your child who died young, when you see Xuan'er, it's like seeing your son!The emperor wants to send my son to you to be raised by you, but the concubine will not agree even if he dies!Concubine Hui, if you dare to think this way again, the concubine will have to bring Xuan'er to die together!

At that time, the mother was very frightened when she heard the death word, she waved her hands again and again and said: Concubine Zhuang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, the emperor mentioned it, but I declined it, I know the pain of losing a child, how could I go to snatch you son?But but...Xuan'er is so pitiful, you should treat him better.

You don't have to worry about this!Just take care of your son!Don't take another look at other people's children!Concubine Zhuang ordered the nanny to hug Brother Xuan and leave in a haughty manner.Brother Xuan was lying on the nurse's shoulder, looking at his mother longingly with those big transparent round eyes, looking at him pitifully, it really made people's heart ache.

After that, Concubine Zhuang tried every means to prevent her mother from seeing Brother Xuan.He was still clever, and later he secretly climbed the wall to find Brother Xuan and taught him martial arts. The two brothers competed together, and when they were tired, they ate snacks made by their mother.He remembered that Brother Xuan would snatch a piece or two and take it home every time. He said he liked the taste.

If Concubine Zhuang took it seriously, she would steal the dragon and turn the phoenix to play the game of subordination under the eyes of her father!Chu Shen clenched his fist tightly, his eyes were icy cold, then he will definitely not let her go!

"Your Majesty, the Regent is here."

The sharpness in Chu Shen's eyes slowed down, and he smiled and stepped forward to hold his hand, "Brother Xuan, you came just in time. Tomorrow is the nanny's [-]th birthday. I want to go with you to celebrate her old man's birthday."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
