Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

The group hurried to the palace where the princess was.

The palace maid was feeding the prepared medicine, while the imperial doctors frowned and discussed.

"What medicine does the princess drink?"

Liu Zhao, who was originally furious, asked in a deep voice when he saw what the palace maid had done.

The palace maid panicked, "It's a medicine to calm the nerves. The little princess has been crying for an hour."

"What is wrong with the little princess that makes you so hesitant?"

Liu Zhao's eyes fell on the imperial doctors and he asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, I really can't find out the cause of the little princess's illness. The little princess's pulse is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive."

The imperial doctors were also very frightened. They had rarely encountered such strange illnesses for so many years of practicing medicine.

A small bowl of medicine had been fed into her mouth. The little princess suddenly burst into tears and spat out the medicine she had just drank.

The imperial doctor immediately rushed to check the little princess, and her pulse became even weaker.

Liu Zhao's eyes were fierce, he stepped forward and pulled away the imperial doctor, and looked at Xiao Ran with a pale face, "Mr. Xiao, can you let my daughter come over for treatment?"

Xiao Ran took the child without hesitation, wondering why he suddenly fell ill.

"Go and bring all the children to you, and when I come back, I will take them all to be checked."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xiao." Liu Zhao responded solemnly.

A child's sudden illness could be considered an accident. Twice in a row, no one believed that the child was in poor health.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhao ignored the imperial doctors and hurriedly looked for other children.

Liu Bang stayed in the palace to deal with it.

Seeing Xiao Ran delivering another child, the doctors and nurses became suspicious.

But they were busy with first aid and didn't say much.

When the little princess came out of the emergency room, the doctor came to Xiao Ran seriously.

"How on earth are you parents? You don't even know if your child has eaten cocklebur seeds."

"Two grams of Xanthium can kill an adult. If you give that much to a child, if you weren't lucky enough not to swallow it all, you would have to collect the child's body."

Xiao Ran was surprised, "The child was poisoned by cocklebur?"

"Yes, Xanthium can be used as medicine, but it requires a suitable formula. If consumed in small amounts for a long time, it will cause children to become stupid. A large amount at one time may cause high fever, vomiting and other symptoms."

"So you parents, you must be careful and don't let your children eat randomly." The doctor warned earnestly.

Xiao Ran thanked him, sent the doctor away, and then returned to the ward.

The little princess and the third prince were arranged in the same ward to facilitate Queen Deng's care.

In the ward.

Queen Ma is talking to Queen Deng.

Xiao Ran opened the door and went in, looking at the sober Third Prince Liu Changxi.

"Auntie, what did the doctor say?"

He doesn't know Liu Changxi's situation yet.

"The doctor said that he can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and he can just take good care of himself after returning." Queen Ma said.

She frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this child?"

"He was poisoned." Xiao Ran said directly.

There are no cockleburs in the palace, so of course the little princess Liu Qingning will not eat them by herself.

Queen Deng stood up suddenly, her face darkened, "Have you caught anyone?"

Xiao Ran shook his head, "The imperial doctor did not diagnose the poisoning. Before I come back, I reminded Han and Emperor Liu Zhao to take all the children with me."

"After the little princess is settled, I will bring the other children over for inspection."

It was clear that the palace belonged to Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty, but so many of his descendants had died, but there were no clues at all.

Empress Deng looked at Xiao Ran, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xiao. Please give your Majesty a message to find out who is plotting to kill the heir as soon as possible. Don't be lenient."

In the harem, Queen Deng knew about the death of her two previous heirs and was extremely disgusted by this matter.

The struggle between the powerful murders several young children.

"I'll bring you the words."

"If you need help with anything, please contact Qu Bing and Zhu Di at home. They have lived here for a long time and can come and take care of them." Xiao Ran asked before leaving.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty and sent the remaining two children to the hospital for examination.

Luoyang Nangong
Zhang Dedian

Seeing Xiao Ran back again, Han Hedi Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The best choice is if the child is not in the palace."

"I have been thinking about it for a long time today and have some guesses about the person who poisoned it."

Liu Zhao's eyes were filled with coldness, and he spoke slowly.

"The deposed Queen Yin, the concubines sent to the palace by the Dou family, and those who have been favored by Queen Mother Dou in the past."

In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, they were the only ones who resented Liu Zhao the most.

Empress Dowager Dou was placed under house arrest, and Dou Xian's brothers died, but some members of Dou's family were still alive.

As for Queen Yin, she has no heirs for many years, so she is the most likely to murder her.

Liu Bang was confused, "Who is Queen Yin?"

Xiao Ran explained: "This year happens to be the time when Liu Zhao issued an edict to depose Queen Yin and appoint the noble Deng Sui as queen."

"Why did you abolish the queen?" It's not surprising that Liu Bang had this question.

The first wives and queens of an emperor have all been selected and will not be abolished unless there is a major event.

Xiao Ran's eyes fell on Liu Zhao, "Because Queen Yin plotted to murder the current Queen, she was abolished after being caught with evidence."

"Queen Yin was smart and smart when she was young, and she was selected to enter the harem. And because she is a relative of Queen Guanglie Yin Lihua, and her mother is the granddaughter of Deng Yu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, she was named a noble as soon as she entered the palace. She was favored. Not long after, Liu Zhao made Yin his queen, and in the same year, Liu Zhao made Deng Sui a nobleman. "

"The harem has always relied on favors to enhance status. Even if it is fake favors, many concubines will scramble to get them. After Deng Sui entered the palace, Liu Zhao's love for the Yin family diminished." "Queen Yin She has always been jealous and tried every means to frame Deng Sui. As Deng Sui's reputation grew, Queen Yin chose to create a curse to harm Deng Sui."

"In the fourteenth year of Yongyuan, someone reported that Queen Yin and her grandmother Deng Zhu practiced witchcraft. Liu Zhao sent people to try the case in Yeting Prison. Except for Queen Yin, everyone involved confessed. Involving each other, the investigating officer believed that cursing others in the form of worship and prayer was a crime of treason. Subsequently, the Deng family descendants were tortured to death in prison. "

"The case was concluded. Liu Zhao handed over the queen's seal, deposed her as queen, and moved to Tong Palace for confinement. Queen Yin's father committed suicide, and the entire Deng family was exiled to Bijing County, Ninan County. As for other clans Relatives and brothers inside and outside were dismissed from office and sent back to their hometowns."

"She should still be in Tong Palace at this time, and next year she will die of depression and be buried in Linping Pavilion."

No matter what, Queen Yin is extremely suspicious.

Liu Zhao said in a deep voice: "She has a sinister temperament. When I was seriously ill, she once threatened to annihilate the queen's entire family. The queen was frightened and took poison. Fortunately, she was stopped by the palace maid."

"When it comes to evil, the Queen Mother Dou must be mentioned."

"Empress Dowager Dou was named queen, but she had no heirs. After Song Gui gave birth to Liu Qing, and Liu Zhao's biological mother Liang Gui gave birth to him, Empress Dowager Dou became jealous and tried every means to alienate them from Emperor Zhang of Han. Gradually, I no longer favor them."

"Later, Empress Dowager Dou adopted Liu Zhao, and Song Guiren was a relative of Empress Dowager Ma at that time. She was favored, so Empress Dowager Ma established Song Guiren's son Liu Qing as the prince. Unfortunately, Queen Mother Ma passed away not long after."

"Without the suppression of the Queen Mother in the palace, Empress Dowager Dou and her mother, Princess Xianyang, plotted to kill Song Guiren. When Song Guiren fell ill and wanted to eat raw Cudder, he wrote a letter to his family to help find him. They intercepted the letter and framed Song Guiren. He wanted to use voodoo to harm people, so he suggested that Ye Tingling fabricated charges to report Song Guiren to Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty. "

"Immediately afterwards, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty deposed Liu Qing and appointed Liu Zhao as the crown prince. He also handed the Song Guiren sisters to Cai Lun of Xiaohuangmen for investigation. Cai Lun and others were all hinted by Empress Dou, which led to the Song Guiren sisters eventually committing suicide by drinking medicine. "

"After Liu Zhao was established as the crown prince, Empress Dowager Dou was worried that Liang Guiren would succeed because of this incident, so she kept secretly slandering Liang Guiren and alienating Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty from them. Until the eighth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou killed two Liang Guiren and framed Liang Guiren at the same time. The nobleman's father, Liang Song, rebelled and ordered people to torture Liang Song, causing Liang Song to die in prison and his family members to be exiled. Empress Dowager Dou also deliberately implicated Liang Guiren's adoptive mother, Princess Wuyin, which resulted in Princess Wuyin being banned. Send someone to monitor him. Empress Dowager Dou banned her in the palace, so that no one in the palace knew that Emperor Han He was born to a noble man of Liang."

Liu Zhao was stunned on the spot, "I am really not born to the Dou family."

"You know?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised.

Liu Zhao sighed, "I have heard about this, but no one has proven it. I always thought it was a false rumor. In addition, my brother was young at the time and he didn't know who my biological mother was. I didn't expect it to be true. , after all, Mrs. Dou has liked me so much since I was a child."

"It's no wonder that after she took power, she deliberately wanted to murder me."

"Such a poisonous woman should have died long ago." Liu Bang said solemnly.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bang remembered another person mentioned in this, "Liu Qing was once a prince, why do you think he would not attack the emperor's heirs?"

Liu Zhao said firmly, "Brother would never do such a thing."

"Indeed not."

Xiao Ran said, "After the death of Song Guiren, Liu Qing was deposed and named King of Qinghe."

"The two sisters of Song Guiren died decisively, which made Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty feel sad and ordered them to be buried."

"Although Liu Qing was young, he was smart and never dared to mention the Song family. Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty loved Liu Qing even more, so he ordered Queen Mother Dou to dress Liu Qing and treat him the same as Prince Liu Zhao."

"When Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty was alive, Liu Zhao and Liu Qing lived together and rode in the same carriage and horse. After Liu Zhao came to the throne, he became even better to Liu Qing and often discussed private matters with him."

"My brother and I are as good as our own flesh and blood. If it weren't for my brother's help, I might not be able to defeat the Dou family." Liu Zhao said sincerely.

Xiao Ran followed and said: "In the fourth year of Yongyuan, Liu Zhao moved here and Liu Qing was able to live with him. Liu Zhao planned to get rid of Dou's relatives. At that time, he wanted to read "Hanshu: Biography of the Wife", but he did not dare to let his attendants He asked Liu Qing to help him get the book from Qiancheng Wang Liu and his wife, the eldest son of Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty, and put Liu Qing into the inner chamber alone to help Liu Zhao deal with the Dou family. "

"After killing Dou Xian, Liu Qing built his own palace, and the palace rewarded him with countless treasures. However, Liu Qing was weak and sickly, and often felt uncomfortable. Liu Zhao went to his house day and night to greet him, and often fed him medicinal meals himself."

Liu Bang was very surprised, "You actually care about your brother so much. You didn't forget your family ties even after you ascended the throne. You did a great job."

The emperor had killed too many brothers and sisters, so the relationship between Liu Zhao and Liu Qing was rare.

Regarding this matter, Xiao Ran felt the same in his heart.

During the reign of Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he often discussed political affairs with Liu Qing.

But Liu Qing did not start to indulge because of such treatment, but became more cautious. Whenever he attends court meetings, he wears marquis-level clothes, and often declares that he is a king and has enough wealth, showing that he has no unnecessary ambitions.

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "I am lucky to have a brother."

Immediately, Liu Zhao asked, "Mr. Xiao, what happened to my brother?"

Xiao Ran said, "In the fifteenth year of Yongyuan, there was a solar eclipse, and all the officials asked the princes to go to their fiefdoms. But you said that the vision coming from the sky was your own problem, and asked Liu Qing to stay in Luoyang. In September of the same year, you asked Liu Qing to stay in Luoyang. Qing followed him on a hunting tour to the south. In the winter of the same year, Liu Qing followed you to the tomb of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty to offer sacrifices. You also issued an edict to Liu Qing and other princes, Yu Linqi, with forty men each."

"Later, in the first year of Yuanxing, you died of illness, and Liu Qing cried in the front hall until he vomited blood and became ill."

"He died of the same illness as you after his son ascended the throne."

It has to be said that as brothers, both of them are not in good health.

Liu Zhao frowned, "Why did I suddenly die of illness?"

He knew Liu Qing's body well, but he died so early, which made him somewhat suspicious.

"It's normal that you've been tired for a long time and suddenly fell ill and couldn't bear it."

Moreover, the emperors of the Han Dynasty were basically short-lived, as if they were hereditary.

"If you want to live longer, you can follow me to the next life to check your body and cultivate yourself after you find the person who poisoned you."

"can."

Liu Zhao agreed.

He immediately went to order and sent people to bring all the palace people who had been in contact with Queen Mother Dou and Queen Yin to come to him.

The emperor's order was carried out quickly, and everyone arrived in the palace in less than half an hour.

Queen Yin's face was full of gloom, "Your Majesty, why are you summoning me?"

After she was deposed, she had long been resentful towards Liu Zhao, and now that she saw him again, she was unwilling to show a good face.

She knew that there was no room for her to make a comeback.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Ban Zhao was also involved with the Yin family after the deposed emperor. Can you bring him?"

The eunuch asked hesitantly.

Liu Zhao had no choice but to say, "Bring it here."

After the eunuch left, Liu Zhao spoke to Liu Bang and said, "Ban Zhao will not be involved in this matter, but she is very smart and has contacts with the concubines in the palace. Calling her here can also provide more clues."

Xiao Ran said: "I really want to meet Ban Zhao."

"Why?" Liu Bang asked.

"The Ban family members are all very powerful, and both men and women have contributed to the Han Dynasty."

Xiao Ran explained with a smile, "Several people from the Ban family were responsible for Han Shu, and most of later generations' understanding of the Han Dynasty came from Han Shu."

"It's worth seeing him for being so powerful." Liu Bang understood the importance of Han Shu.

Queen Yin, who was ignored at the side, spoke unwillingly, "I am already a deposed person, why did you summon me to the palace? Could it be that Your Majesty plans to kill me."

Liu Zhao said coldly: "It concerns the heirs in the palace. If it is really you who committed the murder, I will naturally not spare your life!" (End of Chapter)
