Chapter 114

Gu Nianchu went to Prince Qi's mansion, of course at night.

Zhou Yuchen met her in the main hall. Gu Nianchu looked Zhou Yuchen up and down and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi looks very healthy. Why are there rumors that the prince is seriously ill?"

Zhou Yuchen said nonchalantly: "I asked someone to spread the word so that they wouldn't focus their attention on me."

Gu Nianchu asked Zhou Yuchen what he wanted to do, and Zhou Yuchen did not hide it from Gu Nianchu: "It's time for my incompetent father to get seriously ill."

Gu Nianchu thought of what Zhou Yuchen had told her before, and she nodded: "Well, I understand, you don't want people to suspect you."

Who would benefit the most from the emperor's serious illness at this time? That person would naturally be the one who poisoned him.

"Will this have any impact on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Gu Nianchu asked Zhou Yuchen directly, and Zhou Yuchen shook his head: "The prince is kind and kind, and the emperor trusts him very much. Besides, the prince is already the prince, so there is no need."

Gu Nianchu began to understand Xie Xilan’s real intention of going to Gu’s house today.

"His Royal Highness wants to come and see you."

Zhou Yuchen was somewhat amused: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really impatient. I was afraid that he would come and let others say something else, so I sent someone to tell him not to come. I never thought that he would come to you for help."

Gu Nianchu smiled faintly: "You don't know how serious your illness is as rumored outside. Even my mother and the others are very concerned about you, otherwise they wouldn't let me come to see you at night."

When Zhou Yuchen heard that his future mother-in-law cared about him, the smile on his face became even bigger: "Thank you for your concern, mother."

Gu Nianchu slapped him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhou Yuchen begged for mercy and said he would be more careful next time.

Gu Nianchu went home and told her family the true situation of Zhou Yuchen. The next day, she went to the Duke's Mansion to inform Xie Xilan. Xie Xilan then breathed a sigh of relief and told the prince.

The prince soon arrived at Duke Xie’s mansion.

"Sister Gu, thank you for your help."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thanked Gu Nianchu solemnly. Gu Nianchu didn't dare to accept it and quickly moved to the side: "Your Royal Highness, you are killing me."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was somewhat dissatisfied: "Sister Gu, why do you have to call yourself like that in front of me? If my Third Brother heard this, he would be so upset."

Gu Nianchu was no longer polite.

Xie Jinghong chatted with them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handed Gu Nianchu a letter and asked her to pass it to Zhou Yuchen. Gu Nianchu accepted it solemnly.

The emperor had been having a lot of bad things lately and always felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. One day, he collapsed in the court.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurriedly ordered the Emperor to be carried back to Qiankun Palace and asked the imperial physician to come and treat the Emperor.

All the ministers and concubines in the harem were waiting for news in the outer hall.

The King of Wei and the King of Wu were talking quietly in a corner.

"You did it?"

The King of Wei asked the King of Wu in a low voice, and the King of Wu waved his hand: "No, now is not the right time. Why would your humble servant do such a thing? Maybe it's... the Crown Prince."

The King of Wu whispered his suspected candidate, and the King of Wei shook his head: "Impossible, the prince will not take risks."

not worth it.

Thinking about it this way, could it be the King of Qi?
Both of them remained silent. They sent people to check on the King of Qi's condition, and found that he was indeed seriously ill. There was no reason for him to attack the emperor at this time.

The other princes...

Both of them thought it was impossible, and they both doubted each other in their hearts, but on the surface they were still friendly and respectful to each other. The imperial physician discovered that the emperor had a banned drug in his body and began to investigate.

The prince invited the queen and the queen mother with a gloomy face.

"Grandmother, Mother, and Father were poisoned!"

The prince's words made the Queen Mother furious: "Prince, have you found out who it is?"

The prince leaned forward and said, "Grandmother, I am asking someone to investigate. It may involve someone from the royal family. I..."

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Prince, please continue to investigate. No matter who you find, I will deal with it."

The prince replied, "Yes." The empress dowager went to see the emperor. Seeing her son lying on the dragon couch with a pale face, the empress dowager burst into tears and said, "My son, wake up. Your mother is here to see you."

There was an imperial physician kneeling on the ground beside him.

"Tell me, when will the emperor wake up?"

The Empress Dowager wanted an exact time, and the doctors knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I am not very knowledgeable, please forgive me, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother staggered a few steps, and the Queen Mother hurried forward to support her: "Mother, you must hold on."

Rong Fei received the news that the emperor was seriously ill and rushed over. As soon as she entered the palace, she began to cry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't abandon me."

When the Empress Dowager heard Concubine Rong's mournful crying, she became furious.

"Someone, lock Concubine Rong up in the cold palace!"

Concubine Rong was horrified: "Empress Dowager, I am innocent."

She was just worried about the emperor. How could the empress dowager lock her up in the cold palace?

It must be the Queen's doing!
But before she could say what was in her mind, the maid beside the Empress Dowager stepped forward and took Concubine Rong down.

"Her Majesty, spare my life."

When Concubine Rong wanted to beg for mercy, the nanny had already stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth and took her away.

The news that the emperor is seriously ill and unconscious must never be released.

The prince immediately ordered the palace gates to be locked.

Now only the guards in the palace were allowed to go out. The prince's men quickly found out that the miraculous medicine came from the hands of two imperial doctors. The two imperial doctors were immediately tortured and they confessed that the miraculous medicine was obtained from the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The son of Zhenbei Marquis said that it was a miracle medicine made by the miracle doctor Yan Qingshan.

The prince was not satisfied with the report and ordered further investigation.

The life of the Marquis of Zhenbei is almost like that of a beggar now, how could they do such a thing?

The results of the in-depth investigation left the investigators stunned.

Prince Heng hurried to see the Queen Mother.

"Sister-in-law, I am so sorry for not finding out the Liu family's evil ambitions earlier, causing His Majesty to suffer this disaster!"

When he saw the Queen Mother, Prince Heng fell to his knees and begged for his crime.

The Queen Mother's expression turned very ugly: "Prince Heng, what's going on?"

Prince Heng said, "Some time ago, the prince of Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, Shen Ling, said that he borrowed 200,000 taels of silver from the Liu family to compensate Wang Taifu, but it was robbed on the way. At that time, the Liu family denied it. Later, the imperial censor requested the emperor to send someone to investigate the matter, and I took up the task."

"Just now, I found out that the Liu family had evil intentions and used their status as royal relatives to make a lot of money. Not to mention giving 200,000 taels to Prince Shen, even if all the silver in the national treasury was added together, it would not be as much as their silver!"

Prince Heng's words startled the Empress Dowager, the Queen and the Crown Prince, who all stood up.
