Divine Doctor's Daughter: Black-bellied Crown Princess

Chapter 497
The second prince hurried into the palace in a sedan chair.

Many people in the capital were paying attention to this matter. After seeing the second prince leaving, they quickly passed on the news, so everyone in the capital began to discuss curiously.

"The second prince entered the palace this time, the emperor probably wants to entrust the funeral affairs?"

"How do you say that?"

The person who spoke said with some regret: "I heard from the imperial doctor last time that the emperor's health is failing."

Everyone was surprised: "Huh? The emperor is going to die?"

Although they knew that the emperor was in poor health before, they never thought that the emperor would leave so soon.

Such a thing is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for them.

In fact, the atmosphere in the capital has been very depressing these past few days. If this continues, they will really hide at home and dare not go out.

But even in such a depressing atmosphere, they still feel quite comfortable.

After all, as long as the emperor is still there, no amount of undercurrents and turmoil in the capital will show up on the bright side.

They can still hide.

But strangely, such a thing is too difficult for them.

Because they have clearly felt recently that someone has been secretly moving.

"There was no news from the second prince before. I suspect that the emperor's health is really bad. The second prince is trying to paralyze the other princes and prevent them from doing anything, so he guards this place tightly. information."

What these people said seemed to be true, so that these people didn't know what to say for a while.

"Are you sure?"

"What's so uncertain about this? Don't you feel that there have been big changes in many places in the capital recently? What does this mean? It means that someone is rapidly changing themselves and controlling the capital. I think we People should go home quickly, no matter what happens next, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Although most of the people in the capital stood in line, there were also some people who did not dare to stand in line because of the emperor.

After all, if the emperor was still there, they really didn't dare to mess around. If they did something that caused the emperor to start strict investigations later, then they would naturally be the ones who stood in front of them immediately.

If you have no power or power, you can only choose to save your life.

It is the smartest way not to get involved on both sides.

"We probably understand. For the next period of time, we will wait for the news at home. We will come out when the environment in the capital is better."

After speaking, these people bid farewell to each other, turned and left.

The weather in the capital is gradually getting warmer, but everyone's hearts are getting colder.

"Don't be too scared, in fact, everything is not as bad as we imagined."

Some people comforted themselves like this, but when they thought about the things that happened in the capital recently, everyone couldn't believe what they said to comfort themselves.

I can only sit down and watch the sky, and take a step to see it.

……

Royal Palace.

Concubine Zhen hurried to the gate of the emperor's palace, just in time to see the second prince not far away, who was about to walk over.

"son!"

Concubine Zhen was so excited that she forgot her identity, and even called out "son."

The second prince was startled, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to this side except the eunuch who was leading the way in front of him. Mother concubine greets you, and they all started talking nonsense."

The eunuch smiled and nodded: "The concubine Zhen has been visiting the emperor every day these days. Although the emperor has not seen the concubine Zhen, it is also hard for the concubine Zhen to work so hard. Now that he sees the second prince, it is probably the same. I can finally rest assured."

The second prince frowned.

There seemed to be something in the eunuch's words, and the second prince couldn't figure out what the words meant, so he just smiled dryly and said, "Yes, you are right."

The eunuch bowed slightly, moved aside, and said: "Since the concubine Zhen is here, the second prince should talk to the empress first, and the slave will go to see the emperor first."

The second prince's face was gloomy, he nodded and said, "I have Mr. Lao."

The eunuch smiled: "I can't afford it."

After speaking, he walked away quickly.

The smile on the second prince's face gradually subsided, looking at Concubine Zhen who walked in front of him, his face was a little serious: "What's wrong with Concubine Mother? How can you be so reckless at the gate of Emperor Father's Palace?"

Concubine Zhen felt apologetic on her face: "Concubine Mother was negligent, but Second Prince, the palace is really not peaceful recently."

The second prince frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Concubine Zhen looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, so she lowered her voice and said, "Recently, many unfavored concubines in the palace have mysteriously disappeared."

The second prince said "En?" and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by disappearing strangely?"

Concubine Zhen looked around with some fear, and said, "It's just that the mystery has disappeared, we don't even know where those people went. Before, there were eunuchs and guards in the palace who investigated inside and out, but found nothing at all. These people just disappeared out of thin air."

The second prince is well versed in the tricks in the palace, and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid it was hidden somewhere?"

"Even if it's hidden somewhere, it should be able to let us know the location. We won't be able to find out who it is if we see the corpse. There is no need to make such a effort. Many people in the palace are now saying that there is a ghost."

"It's caused by the ghost of the concubine who died innocently in the past."

The second prince frowned, and his tone was impatient: "Mother, how can you believe such a thing? The palace is the place where the real dragon emperor lives, and the dragon aura is strong. How dare those ghosts and monsters come to the palace to play wild?"

Concubine Zhen said: "Although that's what you said, isn't your father seriously ill recently? Is it because of your father's health that the lack of dragon energy makes you want all the things that were suppressed before..."

The second prince's eyelids twitched when Concubine Zhen said it.

Even the second prince knew that what Concubine Zhen said was not true, but when he heard what Concubine Zhen said so clearly and it seemed to be true, he suddenly began to doubt whether it was true or not.

Even standing under the sun, the second prince felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense, what do you want to do with me?"

At any rate, the second prince could still maintain his rationality. Looking at the emperor's bedroom not far away, the second prince asked with a serious face.

Only then did Concubine Zhen think of what she wanted to say, and quickly said: "Recently, I have come to see your father every day, hoping to take care of your father, but every time I was rejected."

The second prince said: "Who did the father take care of?"

Concubine Zhen shook her head: "No one, your father was probably afraid of what we people would do, so no one was allowed in."
