Powerful

Chapter 501
(Third!)
On the eighth day of May, seven days before Emperor Chongde visited the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Zhu Xuanming vomited blood and fell into a coma in the East Palace.

Afterwards, Tongyun Palace, the pavilion of Prince Liangdi Jiang's palace in the East Palace, caught fire.Soon, Huben soldiers found Wushisan in the room of the court lady Qiaolu. Qiaolu had hit the pillar and died, and Jiang Shi was also in a coma.

These are the news circulating in the palace.In just half a day, these news spread throughout the palace and outside the palace.

Although these things happened, there are many doubts in them.What happened to the prince vomiting blood and coma, why the Tongyun Palace caught fire, and why the prince Liang Di was involved in it, no one is very clear.

The matter was complicated and entangled with threads, and I couldn't figure it out for a while, including the officials in the Zichen Palace who knew the most inside information, they felt like looking at flowers in a fog, and they were confused and couldn't see clearly.

After the prince vomited blood and fell into a coma, Emperor Chongde ordered the prince Zhan Shi Peng Yifang, Dali Temple Minister Shao Lianheng, and Zong Zhengqing Jiang Qin to enter the palace.Originally, Emperor Chongde planned to call Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong into the palace, but he still didn't order it.

He didn't want to use the Zhengshitang before the matter of the East Palace was investigated.

For this matter, Zhan Shifu and Dali Temple are enough.As for Jiang Qin, he is Jiang Yu's grandfather, how could he not come?
When Jiang Qin heard that the prince's coma was related to Jiuhexiang and Wushisan, he held his breath, and when he heard that Jiang Yu had Wushisan, he couldn't breathe.

The matter is already very clear, Jiuhexiang was made by Jiang Yu, and Wushi San was also hidden by Jiang Yu.If it is said that the prince vomited blood and comatose had nothing to do with Jiang Yu, Jiang Qin, Jiang Yu's grandfather, felt that it was impossible.

However, Jiang Yu is his granddaughter, Prince Liangdi, how could she do such a thing?Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing.Then, all that's left is to set the blame on, and the granddaughter was planted to set the blame on!

"Your Majesty, I am terrified, but I have the courage to defend myself. My granddaughter would not do such a thing. I beg the Emperor to investigate!" Jiang Qin breathed heavily and opened his mouth to defend.

He had to argue that if the prince's vomiting of blood was really related to Jiang Yu, not only Jiang Yu would not be saved, he would also have an accident, and the Jiang family would be ruined.

"Clearly observe? I should be able to clearly observe, that's why I called all the ministers here. Peng Yifang, Shao Lianheng, you two carefully inspect the situation in the East Palace. I need to know what's going on, as soon as possible!" Emperor Chongde ordered.

Find out Zheng Xinglin, interrogate Jiang Yu, track down Jiu Hexiang... These things are of course done by the subordinates, and Emperor Chongde only needs to wait for the final result.

As for Jiang Qin, Emperor Chongde only wanted to ask him one thing, which was related to Jiuhexiang.

After Peng Yifang and Shao Lianheng left, Emperor Chongde asked, "Jiang Qin, let me ask you. Is Jiang Yu good at blending incense? Does she know how to blend this Jiuhe incense at her natal home?"

Almost without thinking, Jiang Qin replied decisively: "The granddaughter of the minister can make incense, but she is not proficient. This Jiuhe incense, she was selected after entering the East Palace. I have only heard the name a few times, but the shape of the incense , I don’t know the aroma at all!”

Before entering the Zichen Palace, Jiang Qin had already thought it over: Jiuhexiang, it is the matter of the prince Liangdi Jiang Yu, not the Jiang family's matter, no matter what happens to this Xiang, it has nothing to do with the Jiang family!
Emperor Chongde looked at Jiang Qin quietly, and couldn't seem to believe Jiang Qin's words for a while.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin's back was soaked, and he said bravely: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true! Your Majesty can also call everyone in your family to come and ask questions..."

Under Emperor Chongde's calm gaze, his words gradually became uncontrollable.Under such circumstances, he knew that it was useless to say these things, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Emperor Chongde finally said: "I know."
Got it, know what?Whether he trusts Jiang Qin and the Jiang family or not, only he really knows.

On the other hand, Peng Yifang and Shao Lianheng's investigation did not improve.What they found was similar to what Emperor Chongde knew.

The extra content is that a palace maid once saw Jiang Yu greeting Zheng Xinglin.Now, Zheng Xinglin is nowhere to be found, and Jiang Yu keeps talking and complaining about being wronged, but has nothing to gain.

Even the spices in the warehouse of the Eastern Palace could not be found out.The whole investigation came to a standstill as if blocked by something, making Peng Yifang and Shao Lianheng frown.

"Master Shao, I believe that the key to the investigation lies in Jiuhexiang itself. How Wushi powder and spices came to the East Palace needs to be investigated clearly. It seems that we should ask Mrs. Jiang." Peng Yifang said.

He was surprised.Originally, according to what His Highness said, the spices in the warehouse of the East Palace had already been marked, and as long as one traced the signs, one could follow His Majesty the Fifth Highness.

However, the spices in the treasury are clean and there are no hands or feet.Even if Peng Yifang wanted to go to the fifth prince's mansion, she didn't dare to speak out easily.If Mao rashly dragged clues to the fifth prince's residence, a vigilant person like Shao Lianheng would definitely find something wrong.

In this matter, Peng Yifang didn't want to take any chances.

The only plan now is to attack Jiang Shi, that's why he said this to Shao Lianheng.

Whether His Highness's plan will work or not depends on...how much Jiang Shi loves His Highness.

After hearing Peng Yifang's words, Shao Lianheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Chengzhang Hall and question Mrs. Jiang again."

Chengzhang Hall is a relatively remote palace in the East Palace, which is almost abandoned.Tongyun Hall had been destroyed by fire, so Emperor Chongde ordered Jiang Yu to be imprisoned here until the truth about the prince vomiting blood was found out.
Now, there are Huben soldiers inside and outside the Chengzhang Palace, and there is only one court lady transferred from the Zichen Palace to serve her. This maid is actually protecting Jiang Yu from accidents.

In any case, Jiang Yu is related to the truth about the East Palace.Emperor Chongde was afraid that Jiang Yu would commit suicide or be killed.

Peng Yifang and Shao Lianheng had just approached Chengzhang Hall when they heard a burst of noisy voices.Why is it so noisy outside Chengzhang Hall at this time?

At the gate of Chengzhang Hall, several court ladies were making noise, and one of the leading palace maids could be heard saying: "We are here to see Prince Liangdi under the order of Concubine Shu, why can't we go in?"

Seeing the appearance of this talking palace lady, Peng Yifang's eyes flickered, and her worried heart suddenly settled down.
Not long ago, Peng Yifang had seen this court lady beside His Highness.It turned out that she was the big palace maid next to Concubine Shu!

Now that she appeared outside the gate of Chengzhang Palace, things will be easy to handle.
