Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 600 Freshmen (2)
The seventh prince, Xiao Yi, has a good relationship with his younger brothers. His three younger brothers, all under the age of six, cried, so he knelt and moved over to hug the three younger brothers in his arms, and softly comforted him: "Fifteenth brother, seventeenth brother, tenth brother Eighth brother, you are still young and you have to be taken care of on weekdays. How can you take care of your father? Listen to Seventh brother and go back to your mother and concubine's palace. Don't get frostbitten. If your father is willing to see you later We, Seventh Brother, must truthfully report your filial piety to Royal Father."

The lips of the three little princes were blue from the cold and they were trembling all over. Hearing the words from Brother Seven who loved them all the time, the three little princes responded in a muffled voice, wiping away their tears. Xiao Yi helped them stand up and waved to them. The personal eunuchs of the three younger brothers ordered them to serve the three princes and return to the palace as soon as possible. The eunuchs muttered and wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it in the end, so they had to serve the young master and went back to the palace.The poor three little princes were really frozen, and the one who went back even drank several bowls of thick ginger soup, but still developed a high fever, and their mother and concubine cried to death in a hurry, and the intestines of regret were green. Why do they have to force their son to kneel in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? What kind of illness can such a small child suffer!

When Concubine Rong heard that the three little princes had been persuaded to go back by the Seventh Prince, her complexion turned cold, she held her stomach and let out a cold snort, and said in her heart: Xiao Yi, you dare to spoil the good things of this palace, just wait!It turned out that the reason why the three little princes went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation was all instigated by Concubine Rong.The biological mothers of the three little princes are of low status and young age, so they are easy to be calculated by others. If they are not provoked by others, they will force their sons to kneel and raise their hearts.

Concubine Rong had already confirmed that she was pregnant with a boy, so she naturally had to find a way to kill off her son's older brothers one by one, so as to ensure that her son became the only heir to the throne.The younger princes are easier to attack. Concubine Rong also eats persimmons and picks the soft ones first, thinking about getting rid of a few little princes, and then trying to get rid of a few adult princes one by one, and then no one will fight with her. The son fought for the position.It's just that Concubine Rong's thoughts are perfect, but the reality is always ruthless.

In the Fengsheng Palace, the queen mother retreated all the servants, and was talking to Prince Ning, when the queen mother whispered: "Xiao Jiu, tell the queen mother the truth, how is your brother's condition?" Before the palace banquet, Prince Ning did not tell the Queen Mother about the poisoning of the emperor's brother, but only said that he had a sudden heart attack and could not get up to host the palace banquet. After questioning, it was only now that the officials had left the palace that she began to ask more carefully.

Prince Ning said in a low voice: "Mother, Brother Huang has been poisoned. If you don't get the antidote, Brother Huang will only have ten days to live."

"Ah..." The Empress Dowager took a breath, and immediately asked: "Who poisoned it? Is there a way to get the antidote?"

Prince Ning said in embarrassment: "Mother, nine times out of ten it is the poison of the fourth child. Brother Huang has already ordered someone to develop an antidote, but he has not asked the fourth child."

The queen mother nodded and said: "It turned out to be him. The Ai family knew that he was not a good person. You did the right thing. But you just said that it is a strange poison, and you only rely on the gang of imperial doctors from the imperial hospital. Can they do it?"

"My mother didn't know that the development of the antidote was not handed over to the Imperial Hospital, but by Ze'er-in-law."

"Ze'er-in-law? She... oh, Aijia remembered, her mother clan is Miao people, and the Miao people are known to be good at poisoning. I hope Ze'er-in-law can develop the antidote soon, otherwise the world may be in danger. It's going to be a big mess." The Queen Mother sighed in a low voice, exhaustion and bitterness in her voice.

Prince Ning didn't speak, both mother and son were silent, and I don't know how long it took before the Empress Dowager asked again: "Xiao Jiu, if your brother... who should be the emperor?"

Prince Ning's heart sank, knowing that his mother was planning for the worst.After he stabilized his mind, he said in a low voice: "Mother, the crown prince has long been abolished. He is impossible. The fourth child is even more impossible. In this way, he can only be the eldest child, the third child, the fifth child, the seventh child, and the tenth child." The old thirteen has chosen one of them. All the princes under fifteen are too young to bear this burden."

The queen mother nodded and said: "Your brother is interested in Shisan, but the Ai family doesn't agree, what about you?"

"Thirteen is not bad, he is a good boy, but he is not suitable to be an emperor." The queen mother said slowly.

Prince Ning was silent for a moment, he remembered what the imperial brother had told him, "Queen Mother, I am afraid that the imperial brother has already left a secret edict."

The Empress Dowager turned cold, and immediately said: "That's not okay, Xiao Jiu, you remember, anyone may succeed in the future, even the fourth child, but the thirteenth is not allowed, he is not qualified to be in the throne."

Prince Ning was extremely shocked. He looked at his mother and couldn't believe his ears.Seeing this, the queen mother let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu, you don't have to be so shocked. Now the queen mother won't hide it from you. Shisan...he is not your royal brother's own flesh and blood!"

"What?" Prince Ning turned pale with fright, and almost jumped up with a cry. This news is really... too unbelievable!How can this be?With his imperial brother's shrewdness, how could he let someone who is not his own son inherit the throne?
The Empress Dowager said slowly: "Xiao Jiu, do you remember the time when Concubine Min Gui entered the palace?"

Prince Ning nodded. That happened 15 years ago. Of course he remembered that Concubine Min was brought back to Beijing by his imperial brother when he was on tour in the south of the Yangtze River. The thirteenth prince.Concubine Min Gui was adopted when she was in the south of the Yangtze River today, so Concubine Min gave birth to the prince eight months after entering the palace, no one felt that there was anything abnormal.It’s just that the way we get along with Concubine Min now is very intriguing. Everyone felt strange. When they wanted to check some things, they found that when the attendants went to Jiangnan, all the close people who served beside him except Li Quan were gone. .

"Fifteen years ago, there was a robbery in Yuxing Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. The most beautiful girl in Yuxing Mansion, Han Meiniang, was robbed at that time. The man's family was He Jiaming, the most talented man in Yuxing Mansion. After the bride was robbed, He Jiaming sued everywhere. , but within three days, someone was assassinated on the way to the government office. Since then, no one in Yuxing Mansion dared to talk about it, and Han Meiniang has disappeared..." The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly, and said slowly in a very deep voice .

Prince Ning thought to himself, Han Meiniang?Could it be Concubine Min?No, Concubine Min's family name is Jin.He was thinking about it when he heard the Queen Mother say: "Han Meiniang and He Jiaming were originally a pair made in heaven by childhood sweethearts. Her man didn't notice at all, he held her in his hands as a treasure all his life, and even believed that the child was his own flesh and blood."
