Lady Changning

Chapter 141 The Death of the Prince (1)

Seeing that the prince was still protecting Ziyu blindly, the queen mother was so angry that she slapped the table.

"You silly boy, Grandma Huang is here to help you! I don't want you to be kept in the dark by this woman. Did you know that she was pregnant when she entered the palace?"

Once the queen mother said this, the emperor was not happy. At this moment, there is still a mother Qian who can't even be called by outsiders.

"Mother Qian, please step back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as Mama Qian stepped back, Ziyu gained confidence. She and the crown prince knew better than anyone how the child got here. If the queen mother was catching the pigtails of this matter, then they had nothing to fear.

"Empress Dowager, if you really don't like Ziyu and just say so, why do you do everything possible to frame Ziyu?"

"Go, Doctor Sun and bring it to Ben Gong."

This doctor Sun was interrogated by her personally, so there shouldn't be any problems.Just in case, the queen mother took a look at Xi Lingyan, who also nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Doctor Sun's body was covered with injuries, and it seemed possible that he could be tortured into a trick.

"Queen Mother, if you speak with an imperial doctor who has been beaten like this, can the concubine be regarded as a trick of beating? Now that the little prince has been born, how do you count?"

"Why are you afraid? This palace is also for the royal blood, saving those wild species who don't know where they came from to impersonate."

"Your Majesty, you must decide for your daughter-in-law."

Ziyu cried and collapsed in front of the emperor, her appearance really made people feel distressed.No matter how you look at it, it's not as unbearable as the Queen Mother said.

"Doctor Sun, what do you say?"

"What the empress dowager said is true, the purple side concubine is already pregnant when she entered the palace."

Doctor Sun is also helpless, his family is in the hands of the Queen Mother, if he doesn't say that, his Sun family will be extinct.

"Did you see that! You foolish boy, you were tricked by this woman!" The queen mother finally let go of her worries when she saw that the trick was successful.

"But back to the emperor, the prince also knows about this, because the little prince is the prince's child."

No one thought that Imperial Physician Sun would go on to say such a sentence. Imperial Physician Sun looked apologetically at seeing that the crown prince could only help him so much, and it was he who was sorry for the trust of the crown prince.

"Prince, talk!" The emperor felt that it was not just a farce, it was just... a mess.

The empress dowager lost all her victorious mood, how could she be the prince's child?Did the prince know Ziyu long ago?Wasn't her hard work in vain?
"I will meet my father, my son has indeed known Ziyu for a long time, and I can't help but know the versatile Ziyu through Zimu's introduction..."

Maybe in this way, all the things can be transferred to him, so that others will not be entangled in Ziyu's identity.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be that simple. I believe that blood should be used to recognize relatives."

The queen mother still did not give up.

The emperor also felt that this would be more convincing to everyone, so he ordered someone to fetch a bowl of water.By the way, ask the nanny to bring the little prince to the hall.

The crown prince is not afraid of the drama of confessing relatives by dripping blood, but feels that Ziyu and the child have been wronged.

"Father, if this is my child, how will the Queen Mother's damage to Ziyu be counted?"

The queen mother never imagined that her own grandson would actually settle accounts with her for a woman.

"Presumptuous, this palace is also for our royal family, it is suspicious if Ziyu's origin is unknown."

The queen mother felt a little guilty, but she actually wanted to use Ziyu to dig out all the relationships between Xi Changning and Hu Cheng behind her.

"Grandma Huang wants to say something to Ziyu. If the little prince is my child, I ask the Queen Mother not to trouble the East Palace again."

The queen mother blushed when she heard what the prince said.Is this the attitude a grandson should have when talking to his grandma?
"Okay! I promise you!"

Seeing that the queen mother agreed, the prince picked up the knife on the table and stroked his finger lightly. Because he was worried that others would hurt the child, he took the child's finger and stroked it carefully.

The result was what they expected, the two drops of blood dissolved in water.The queen mother took a few steps back in disbelief, but fortunately she held the table behind her.

"Since the little prince is the prince's own flesh and blood, let's not embarrass the prince. Let's stop here."

The queen wanted to smooth things over, after all, the prince was her child, and she didn't want to continue arguing when the prince was wronged.

"That's not acceptable. The queen mother is also the mother of the country. It's not a good thing for her own people to slap her own people in the mouth."

Concubine Hui was very happy to see the empress dowager in such a mess.Thinking about how the queen mother treated their mother and child back then, these are all considered close.

"Concubine Hui." The queen stopped her in a low voice.

Since Ziyu's mouth cannot be pried open, she will not let Xi Changning go.

"Xi Changning killed Zhifeng, no matter what, this palace will not let it go."

"Since the Empress Dowager mentioned it, my grandson will also ask, why did Chang Ning come back in such a state of embarrassment when he went out well? What good did Zhao Zhifeng do?"

The prince promised his second brother that he would defend Xi Changning to the end, not to mention that Xi Changning did this because of Ziyu's impulsiveness.

"Everyone saw it when I went in. Xi Changning was there in good order, and Zhifeng was dead."

"But Chang Ning is in a terrible state, and he came back after being poisoned. Besides, why did the Queen Mother go there? Could it be that she made an agreement with Zhao Zhifeng?"

When the Queen Mother heard about it, she was slightly taken aback, but she was ashamed to respond.

"Empress Dowager, please rest assured, the emperor will definitely give Mr. Zhao justice here, and will not blame a good person."

Xi Lingyan still plays this virtuous role, and the reason why the Queen Mother is retreating steadily today is because no one thought that Xi Changning would dare to give up her life for Ziyu.

Now that both sides are hurting, if the Queen Mother insists on going on, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand up to the emperor, and she has no choice but to speak out to stop the Queen Mother.

"Forget it, I'm old, and you ignore me like this, Your Majesty, if you don't give me an explanation, then I won't be able to explain to my natal family, even if I do my best, I will punish Xi Changning .”

In the end, the queen mother had to put pressure on the emperor, and the matter was considered to be left to the emperor to handle.

The atmosphere in the hall finally eased up now, the prince and Ziyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi Lingyan looked at the vacant seat beside her, and the third prince hadn't come yet.I couldn't help but regret stopping the Queen Mother, because once I stopped the Queen Mother, it would give Xi Changning and his party a chance to breathe.

Turning the time back to the Empress Dowager, the third prince and Xi Lingyan followed behind the emperor and empress when they first entered the East Palace, but the third prince didn't care about Ziyu, what he cared about was the poisoned Xi Changning.

Taking advantage of people's distraction, he walked through the corridor to the outside of Xi Changning's bedroom, and wanted to knock on the door to see if there were other people inside.

But the raised hand stopped in mid-air because of the sound from inside, and what he saw through the crack of the door was a scene he couldn't believe.The words he heard were also tender as never before.

He himself didn't know how he left in the end, he should have thought a long time ago that she didn't love the prince at all, otherwise how could she have allowed the prince to accept the new side concubine not long after his wedding?
But what he can't imagine is that the person in her heart is actually the second brother he has always respected, not to mention that the person who is least likely to be infected with love is Huangfu Zimian.

In the end?Huangfu Zimian also fell in love with Xi Changning.So what is he?
Is this the end of the matter?no, no.Things are getting even more out of hand.

The queen looked for the prince. After all, it was mother and son, and she didn't want the prince to suffer any harm.

"Prince, don't think that your father is kind, and you will feel fine."

The empress is a little bit powerless, now everything is piled up, the emperor only favors the noble concubine, I don't know if everyone is apologetic, no one dares to stand up and say a word.

"I also ask the queen mother to expressly show the children and ministers."

The prince thought that this incident must have something to do with Ziyu and Xi Changning.

"Mother Qian, who was found by the Queen Mother, and Doctor Sun, who was arrested, are all dead."

The prince's heart tightened, which meant that although Ziyu's matter had passed, the emperor still did not believe in Ziyu's identity, what else could the emperor not investigate?

"Prince, please do so. The emperor is also investigating the matter of Changning. You should find some evidence to correct Zhao Zhifeng."

The queen also said everything she wanted to say and could help.

"My son understands."

When the prince returned to the East Palace, he kept thinking about what the queen said to him, and he became more and more worried about Ziyu's comfort.

Although Ziyu tried her best to comfort him, her restless heart could not calm down.He couldn't sit still, he had to find a way to take Ziyu out of the palace.

This may be the only way to save them, but how to do it?
Zimu wandered around in the dark night, and as soon as he returned to the capital, he came to look for Xi Changning. He didn't expect so many things to happen while he was away, and he blamed himself deeply.

"If you have time to pretend to be sad in front of me, why not think of a way to convince the Queen Mother."

Xi Changning was right, the present time was bought by her life, not for grieving and self-blame.

"I will go to Yangzhou City to collect all the evidence of Zhao Zhifeng's crime, and then put it in front of the emperor, and the queen mother will have nothing to say."

Zimu told Xi Changning about the plan in his heart.

"Zimu, how about you going to the Hudi in the Western Regions this time?"

Xi Changning is still not blind, Zimu went back this time, his brown eyes were obviously covered with a layer of unexplained sadness.

"very smooth."

Summarizing everything lightly, Xi Changning didn't ask any more questions, Zimu didn't want to say, she wouldn't force him.

As soon as Zimu took action, things went smoothly, and it was easy to collect Zhao Zhifeng's criminal evidence, because Zhao Zhifeng himself was a bully, and the people had long complained about him.

The Empress Dowager couldn't justify these criminal evidences. After all, there were real facts, so she could only watch Zhao Zhifeng die in vain.The only seedling of their Zhao family was killed by a woman just like that, and she still couldn't let her die.

Because of Zhao Zhifeng's behavioral problems and local misconduct, he deserves to die.The emperor issued an imperial decree, which only stated that Zhao Zhifeng was sentenced to death for disturbing the palace in the palace, but did not clarify what he did in the palace, and it was also for the sake of the royal family's face.

Moreover, the emperor did not pursue Xi Changning's responsibility, but just said a word of self-defense.Even if it was given to the queen mother, it also cut off a lot of the queen mother's influence.

Zhao Zhifeng's death had just come to an end, and the crown prince fell ill. All in all, misfortunes never come singly.And this time the prince was seriously ill.

The imperial physicians were helpless and could only prescribe some warming and tonic medicines to protect the prince's illness.
