The eldest princess of Sheng'an sat with the queen for a short while and then heard someone report that someone had died in the palace.
The queen stood up and asked, "Who?"
The chamberlain reported, "It was Mr. Zhao and Zhao Fei, father and son, who were killed."
Upon hearing this, the queen turned to look at Princess Sheng'an.
Princess Sheng'an nodded to her, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see. Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei have been detained in the palace for a few days. If nothing happens sooner or later, something happened today."
.Let’s see what’s going on?”
After hearing this, the queen understood that the reason why Princess Sheng'an came into the palace today was waiting for this matter.
The emperor heard someone reported that Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei were dead. Not long after he died, his vision went dark. King Ruian walked into the palace and said he would interrogate Zhao Fei. Within a moment, Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei, their father and son, were dead.
What does this mean? It means that he, the emperor, has informants around him.
He glared at Eunuch Yu angrily, "Yu An, what on earth is going on? Is it you?"
Eunuch Yu knelt down on the ground with a pop, "Your Majesty, this old slave's heart for you can be seen from heaven and earth. If you don't believe in me, I will have no choice but to die to prove my will."
The emperor stared at him, "Then tell me, what's going on?"
Eunuch Yu shook his head, "The old slave didn't know either. When the old slave went, he heard a cry of surprise inside. The old slave rushed in with his people and took a look. He saw the father and son fell to the ground together, without any injuries on their bodies.
But the person has died, and the body is still warm."
He said with a white face: "The old slave has arranged for people to seal off that place. Now we can only ask him to do an autopsy to thoroughly investigate the cause."
He was about to cry, "I dare to assure Your Majesty that I have really sent my most trustworthy servants to take care of it. Nothing happened for so many days. Who knows why something happened today by chance."
The emperor turned to look at King Ruian.
King Ruian's expression did not change. He had obviously expected this. He handed over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and have a look."
The emperor said solemnly, "I will go with you."
So, the two of them went to the place where Zhao Laoer and Zhao Fei and his son were detained.
When the two arrived, they saw the queen and the eldest princess Sheng'an walking from a distance. The emperor stopped, frowned, and asked Eunuch Yu: "Why did the eldest princess enter the palace?"
At this time, King Ruian said, "Back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess met me at the palace gate and entered the palace together. The eldest princess also came to see your majesty. She saw that I had something important to report, and she said she was not in a hurry.
, let me come to see you first, while she went to talk to the Queen."
The emperor nodded and waited for the queen and her entourage to approach.
The queen had not seen the emperor for many days. When she suddenly saw him, she found that the emperor had not been seen for several days. He seemed to have a lot of gray hair, and his whole person was not as radiant as before, looking rather gloomy. She was startled and told the emperor
Greetings.
The emperor said, "The queen is exempt from the gift." and greeted the eldest princess Sheng'an, "Why did the eldest aunt enter the palace? I heard Ruian said that you have something to do with me? I don't know what the matter is?"
"It's not a big deal about Brother Gu." Princess Sheng'an waved her hands, "I just arrived and sat in the Queen's Palace for a while, and then I heard someone said that something happened in the palace. I thought about how many years have passed in the palace.
No lives have been lost, come and take a look."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an specifically mentioned how many years it had been. When the emperor thought about it, it was true. He was about to criticize the queen harshly, and he stopped immediately.
The Queen was grateful. She was in charge of the Sixth Palace, but she could not reach out to everything, such as His Majesty's Imperial Study Room, the Meeting Hall, and other places, such as the concubines' bedrooms. However, once something happened in the palace, she would be the first to be held accountable.
, it’s all her queen.
Even though His Majesty sent someone to look after her, if something happened, His Majesty's temperament would definitely hold her accountable. She was not afraid of being held accountable, but she was afraid that too many criticisms would implicate the Crown Prince, especially in such a chaotic court now.
Next game.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an came today for her and for the prince. It can be seen that the Protector's Office is now completely on the side of the prince. Compared with the past, when Zhou Gu only leaned towards the East Palace alone and the Protector's Office did not intervene, it is much better.
many.
It has not been easy for her after so many years.
The emperor said: "I just learned about it, let's go in and have a look together!"
The group entered the yard where Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei were being detained. As expected, as Eunuch Yu said, Zhao Lao'er and Zhao Fei had no injuries on their bodies. They seemed to be asleep, but they were dead and their bodies were still warm.
"Is it poisoning?" the emperor asked.
The imperial doctor and Wu Zuo also came at this time. After looking at it together, the imperial doctor shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like poisoning."
Wu Zuo also said: "It doesn't look like poisoning, but there are no injuries on the whole body. It's really strange."
Several people, including the imperial doctor and the widower, came, but they could not figure out the reason. King Ruian said: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to take these two people out of the palace and ask Miss Su Qi to check it out? Miss Su Qi is good at medicine, maybe she can tell."
reason."
The emperor nodded when he heard this, "That's fine!"
King Ruian waved his hand and ordered people to move the people away. Then he thought about it and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, people can't die for no reason. This palace needs to be investigated. Because the palace is full of ladies, if the minister is
It’s really inconvenient to come and check.”
He recommended, "It just so happens that the eldest princess has entered the palace today. How about we trouble the eldest princess to come and check the palace? After all, this case is closely related, and your majesty is busy with court affairs and cannot come to investigate in person."
The emperor wants to say that I can personally investigate even if I am busy with court affairs. The palace cannot let the eldest princess Sheng'an come to investigate. Otherwise, if she is allowed to reach out, she is such a powerful woman. Isn't she going to investigate his palace from bottom to top?
What secrets are there? Can he sleep peacefully in the future?
But before he could speak, the queen begged: "Yes, Your Majesty, there have been troubles in this palace recently, and I also think it is most appropriate for my eldest aunt to investigate. My eldest aunt is a trustworthy person. Back then, the late emperor's
There were several major cases in the palace, and it was my eldest aunt who came to investigate."
The implication is that the former emperor trusted the eldest princess, why can't you trust her?
The emperor choked and looked at the eldest princess Sheng'an, and suddenly found that the eldest princess Sheng'an's hair had turned completely white, and now standing here, she was just an old woman.
The emperor was in a daze. He only remembered how powerful Princess Sheng'an was to help him ascend the throne smoothly when he ascended the throne. He had forgotten that she was also getting older over the years.
The emperor's tense breath suddenly relaxed, and he finally nodded, "Since the prince and the queen have said so, I have no objection. I will bother my aunt about this case that happened in the palace! I naturally trust my aunt.
"
The main purpose of Princess Sheng'an entering the palace today is for this purpose. It is most suitable for her to take over the investigation of the palace case. She nodded and agreed happily, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will investigate. Even ghosts and monsters can't hide it."
