In the small courtyard of Chunhe Palace, the sky is getting dark.
The prince still did not enter the house. He just stood in the courtyard with his hands folded, looking up at the setting sun, and the dusk became heavier and heavier until the sky was shrouded in night.
The guards put a cloak on him and hung lanterns in the courtyard, but no one dared to disturb the prince's trance.
Only in the east wing, could there be a faint whine like a wounded beast, which made people's hair stand on end.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a creak, and the door to the east wing opened. Eunuch Cui came out and was about to report.
The prince waved his hand, and he quickly stopped. After the guards and eunuchs filed out and silently closed the courtyard door, he leaned closer and whispered:
"Prince, we have basically found out. Madam Ning discovered that the fetus was too large when she was six months pregnant."
He said and presented a medical record.
The prince stretched out his cold hand and took it.
Eunuch Cui quickly picked a lantern and held it close to illuminate the prince.
Zhu Biao opened it and saw that this was a medical record specifically recording the diagnosis, legislation, and prescription of medicines for the Crown Princess by Lady Ning. Thanks to Boss Zhu, who was very detail-oriented, every record was very standard, detailed, and clear.
On the page dated October 1st last year, he clearly saw the words 'If you suspect that the fetus is too large, you should eat in moderation and avoid sweets and oils'.
Then I turned to the reexamination record half a month later, and there was still the same wording, and this time it added the sentence 'has been reported to Empress Lu'.
In the record half a month later, the word 'suspicious' was no longer present, and the diagnosis was that the fetus was too large. Decoctions and acupuncture were also added to the prescription. The doctor's instructions once again emphasized the need to diet and avoid sweets, and it was specially marked.
Report to Empress Lu and Manager Lu.
Then, the record jumps directly to labor.
"What happened in the last two months? Why wasn't it recorded?" the prince asked with a frown.
"Ms. Ning said that she was haunted during those two months, fearing that she would have something dirty on her body that would offend her and her son." Eunuch Cui said softly: "So during those two months, she asked another Mrs. Zhou to take her place.
watch."
"Did she have a nightmare or was she frightened?" Zhu Biao asked in a voice as cold as ice: "Why did Mrs. Lu and Lu Pinqi never report such a big thing?"
"Ms. Ning insists that she is suffering from a nightmare, but the old slave does not change her story even though she uses some tricks." Eunuch Cui answered the first question first: "Of course she will be stubborn to the end. Once she changes her story, she will kill everyone in her family.
"
After a pause, he continued to report: "As for Eunuch Lu, he is even more strict. The slave pulled out his teeth and nails, but he still bit him to death, saying that he had too many things to do and forgot to report."
"Forgot?" The prince said with an angry smile: "The dignified chief eunuch, can you say such a thing?"
"Yes, the little fireman who entered the palace on the first day also knows that the master's matter is a big deal. It is impossible to forget the master's matter if he forgets anything." Eunuch Cui agreed in a low voice: "What's more, human life is at stake.
God? We must investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."
"Don't add too much fuss here." The prince glanced coldly and said, "Even if you want to be in power, you have to go through the funeral..."
"I don't dare, I'm so angry." Eunuch Cui quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and argued: "It's only because of the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave that a master like the prince is found. He doesn't know how to cherish it. It's really outrageous for both humans and gods!"
"Don't do this!" The prince snorted and warned him: "This will serve as a warning to me, do you hear me?"
"Yes, I will definitely take this as a warning and never make the same mistake again." Eunuch Cui knocked his head loudly.
"Get up." The prince said coldly.
In fact, he knew very well about Eunuch Cui's little thoughts of eager to get the upper hand, but after all, Eunuch Cui was Zhu Xiongying's best companion, and all his honor and disgrace was tied to the emperor's eldest grandson. He was always more reliable than his two predecessors who were cheating on each other.
"As for the two of them," the prince looked at the rooms on the left and right, sighed, and said, "just send them to Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum."
"Ah? Isn't it easier for them?" Eunuch Cui blurted out, and quickly explained: "I mean, they know so many things..."
"I have nothing to say to anyone about anything in this palace." The prince said indifferently.
"Even if Your Highness wants to be merciful, do you have to wait until the inside story is revealed?" Eunuch Cui asked again bravely.
"No need." The prince shook his head and said, "I will ask clearly."
After saying that, he left the small courtyard with heavy steps.
~~
In the West Wing Hall, it is evening class time.
The little man is sitting behind the big desk, holding a thick brush and writing strokes one by one.
Even though Zhu Yunwen was only four years old, he had already started learning to write under Lu's guidance.
The characters you recognize during the day should be copied over and over again at night until you are familiar with them.
After being deprived of the right to preschool education for the eldest grandson by the prince, Mrs. Lu held back her energy and wanted to use her son to prove that her family's chicken-baby method was correct.
This made him suffer. Not only did Lu urge him to read and write during the day, but she also stood behind him at night and watched him write.
If you draw the wrong stroke, hold the pen incorrectly, or even bend your waist, you will be punished.
So every time he wrote, Zhu Yunwen was very nervous, fearing that he would make a mistake and be beaten.
But the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes, and the easier it is to get beaten. The more you are beaten, the more nervous you are, and then the easier it is to make mistakes... It is a cycle of Yi Zhong.
Today is no exception. Zhu Yunwen accidentally thinned out the character "曰", and it became "日".
"Sunday..." Zhu Yunwen cried out secretly, like a quail in the cold wind, shrinking his neck and closing his eyes.
However, after waiting and waiting, he still didn't wait for his mother's ruler to fall. He couldn't help but secretly turned his head and opened his eyes.
But he saw that Concubine Lu was in a daze there, her eyes were distracted, and she didn't look at him at all.
Zhu Yunwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to hide the piece of paper secretly when he heard Concubine Lu sighing quietly behind him.
He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and stretched out his hand in front of her.
"Put it down, I won't hit you today." Concubine Lu said with rare tenderness: "Are you my mother's good baby?"
"Yes." Zhu Yunwen nodded vigorously.
"Then are you afraid of losing your mother?" Concubine Lu asked again.
"Don't be afraid, I still have my mother-in-law..." Zhu Yunwen blurted out: "If you are gone, I can play with my eldest brother."
"Fart!" Concubine Lu immediately broke through the defense and slapped Zhu Yunzhen on the arm with a ruler, making him burst into tears.
"Listen up, your father will come over later and may want to kill your mother, so just cry hard, hold my legs and shout, 'I want my mother'!" Concubine Lu grabbed Zhu Yunwen's ears and whispered to him.
Roared: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard it!" Zhu Yunwen nodded quickly.
"If you pull your crotch, I'll beat your hands to pieces!" Concubine Lu threatened in a stern tone: "Do you remember?!"
"Remember..." Zhu Yunwen was so frightened that his face turned pale. Although his concubine didn't often give him a smile, it was the first time he saw such a ferocious look.
ps. The gain outweighs the gain when I woke up in the middle of the night last night. I’ve been busy all day today, so I’ll write one less chapter...
