Zhong Nanjin, the judge of Taiyuan Hospital, knelt in front of Li Chen and said shamefully: "I am incompetent and have no clue yet. Please punish me, Your Highness."
"You really deserve to be punished."
Li Chen snorted coldly and said: "The Imperial Hospital has neglected its duty to treat the Ninth Prince. As a court judge, you are suspected of neglecting your duties. You will be fined half a year's salary. The Imperial Physician responsible for treating the Ninth Prince will come out."
Still kneeling on the ground, the imperial physician who had just been interrogated by Li Chen looked pale and kowtowed: "Your Highness, please have mercy on me, Your Highness, please have mercy on me!"
"Although the sudden death of the Ninth Prince was not your fault, if you could always stay by the Ninth Prince's side, it might have been avoided. Now that the big mistake has been made, it's too late to say anything. Drag him out and kill him."
Li Chen gave the order, and immediately a guard with a knife came forward and held up the imperial doctor's arms before walking out.
The frightened begging voice of the imperial doctor was still in his ears. After it gradually faded away, Li Chen glanced at the imperial doctor present and said coldly: "You know your responsibilities better than I do. The health of the concubines in the harem, the prince, even the empress and the emperor
We all depend on you. If the current circumstances were not special, my father would still need your care. Just because the Ninth Prince died suddenly and the hospital was helpless, all of you could be dead."
Led by Zhong Nanjin, all the imperial doctors knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness."
"That's all."
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "How will the Queen handle the matter of the Ninth Prince appropriately?"
Zhao Qinglan snorted coldly: "You even killed the imperial doctor who was in charge of the Ninth Prince, and then you asked me how to deal with it? You can figure it out yourself!"
After saying that, Zhao Qinglan walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Originally, she didn't want to leave so simply, but just now she saw the look in Zhao Xuanji's eyes, and even though she was confused, Zhao Qinglan still left.
As soon as Zhao Qinglan left, Li Chen didn't care.
"The Ninth Prince died suddenly. This matter is strange. We have asked the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate and solve the case within a time limit."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xuanji and wrote lightly: "It will be Zhao Fu's fault for this matter."
Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands and said, "That's what it should be."
"In that case."
Li Chen glanced at the entire audience and said: "The body of the Ninth Prince will be sealed first, and the Qintian Prison and the Zongren Mansion will bury it in the imperial mausoleum at a selected date."
Speaking of this, Li Chen glanced at the stiff corpse of the Ninth Prince on the bed, and said calmly: "The Ninth Prince Li Miao is the ninth son of the Daxing Emperor. He has a kind and honest character. He should have a great time to serve the family."
He served the country, but unfortunately he died young. However, Heaven is virtuous. Inheriting the order of his father, the Emperor, to supervise the country, I acted on behalf of the emperor. I posthumously named Li Mo the Prince of Renjun, with the posthumous title of Renhe. In order to deal with the funeral affairs, I regulated the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzong as the prince.
The government will handle it."
No matter what he does, the Ninth Prince is still the flesh and blood of the Daxing Emperor and the real prince of the Daqin Empire.
Nowadays, death is like a lamp going out, but Li Chen will not be stingy in giving him the treatment he deserves.
Giving greater honor to the dead is for the living to see.
Sure enough, the whole room knelt on the ground, and everyone said in unison: "His Royal Highness is kind and virtuous, and I will obey your orders."
"That's all."
Li Chen waved his hand, with a rather uninterested look on his face, and said: "The ninth brother has just passed away, and I don't have much thoughts. I just deal with the funeral affairs and handle them according to the rules. If there is no other matter, that's it...
The incident will be investigated by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and other people in the palace are not allowed to talk behind the scenes. If anyone is discovered, their tongues will be pulled out."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xuanji, and seeing that the latter still had no intention of speaking, he turned around and left the side hall.
"Chen Tong."
Li Chen said calmly as he walked towards the East Palace.
Behind him, Chen Tong came forward.
"Zhao Xuanji did not do this. Go find out who the murderer is."
At the same time, Zhao Xuanji also left the side hall and came to Fengxi Palace next door.
