"The prince is in serious trouble. The emperor suddenly fainted during the morning court. The queen sent a message to all the princes to enter the palace quickly." Butler Zhu ran in with a panic and reported.
Mo Yu Wuhuan gently released the hand holding Ling Nuansi and responded lightly: "I know."
After that, she got dressed and left. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell her baby to let the princess sleep more.
"Belle, do you think the prince is getting better and better to our princess?" Bao'er said gossiping, feeling very happy in her heart.
Belle smiled and said, "Of course, our princess is the king of the country and everyone is attracted to her."
On the other hand, it is reasonable to say that the emperor's illness was a big deal, but Prince Ning was not in a hurry. He walked into the palace with small square steps, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, as soon as he entered the inner hall, his expression changed. He walked forward and knelt down: "Queen Mother, how is your father?"
As he spoke, King Ning showed a sad look on his face, which moved everyone to see him. The queen sat on the side of the bed, with a haggard face, and said in a hoarse voice: "The imperial doctor has been investigating for a long time, but he can't find out the reason.
Gong's heart has been hanging on, what should I do?"
Prince Ning comforted him softly: "Mother, please be at ease. My father is a good person and he has his own destiny."
At this time, King Qingze of Shu and King Qingjin of Han rushed over and asked anxiously. After a moment, Queen Zhongli turned around and looked at the three sons and the crying Princess Xiangping, but it seemed that one of the most important ones was missing.
people.
Queen Zhongli lowered her face and asked coldly: "Where is the prince?" The atmosphere in the scene was solemn, and everyone knew that the queen was angry.
At this time, Mo Yu Wuhuan and Han King Mo Yu Qingjin exchanged glances, and then the Han King hesitated and spoke.
"After returning to my mother, I sent someone to inform my elder brother, but the report said..." Mo Yu Qingjin hesitated to speak.
"What do you say in return?" Queen Zhongli asked angrily with her brows furrowed.
"After returning to my mother, I reported that my eldest brother was refining the magic elixir with the immortals and had been in seclusion for three days. No one is allowed to disturb me."
"You bastard, this treacherous son actually believes in those lies about immortality. His father is so ill that he doesn't come to visit him." Queen Zhongli was furious, and her face suddenly turned pale with anger.
"Mom, please calm down, maybe the eldest brother just wants to seek immortality for his father, so he is confused for a moment..." Mo Yu Wuhuan interceded for the prince at the right time.
"Huan'er, you don't need to plead for the prince. I know exactly what he is like. I will go to the prince's mansion in person to invite him right now." Queen Zhongli was so angry that she could no longer listen to any persuasion and wanted to go in person.
The prince's residence.
"Your Majesty, please stay. I have something to say." At this time, Doctor Meng from the Imperial Hospital suddenly said.
"How are you, imperial physician? How is the emperor's condition?" Queen Zhongli asked anxiously as soon as she heard the imperial physician's words.
Everyone could see that Dr. Meng was hesitant to speak. Sure enough, the queen asked: "If you have something to say, Dr. Meng, you might as well say it directly. Those present are all sons and daughters of this palace, no outsiders."
"I would like to inform you that the emperor's meridians are disordered and his energy is like a gossamer. I have checked it many times and there is still no trace of it. Therefore, I suspect that someone is practicing witchcraft and cursing the emperor."
"Bold." Queen Zhongli trembled when she heard this.
"Mother and queen, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down." All the princes and princesses present knelt down.
The word witchcraft has been talked about in the imperial family since ancient times. Not to mention whether there is a curse and the effect of the curse, but witchcraft does keep in mind that whoever wants to have anything to do with witchcraft will probably
There are only four words for the fate: a bad death.
"The Emperor is kind and patriotic, treats the people like his own children, and is considerate of the common people. Who can bear to harm His Majesty?" Empress Zhongli's eyes were filled with tears. She had been married to Emperor Wen for decades. Undoubtedly, she was the most worried about the Emperor's safety.
"Mother, from my perspective, may not be what the people call her. Think about it, if something happens to your father, who will benefit the most? It's not the prince, so maybe it's the eldest brother who did it." Xiang Ping on the side speculated rashly.
"Xiang Ping, don't talk nonsense. How could the prince do such a treasonous thing?" Mo Yu Wuhuan immediately accused Xiang Ping.
"What Xiang Ping said is not unreasonable. The prince is indeed suspicious." Queen Zhongli wiped her tears and looked at her children with stern eyes.
"Since the Queen Mother said so, it's not just the eldest brother who is suspected. We are all suspects. Please Mother Queen to find out together." Mo Yu Wuhuan said word by word.
Xiang Ping was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why Prince Ning insisted on accusing herself of a crime when it was clearly a good opportunity to bring down the prince. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Prince Ning looking at her with a murderous look, so
He shut his mouth obediently.
After a moment, Queen Zhongli said slowly: "Publish the decree of this palace and conduct a thorough inspection of the three palaces and six courtyards, the prince's residence, and the princess's inner chamber."
