In the tragedy at Zhenguo Palace in the previous life, what role did the current emperor play? Is he a complete decision-maker, or was he deceived by someone with intentions, or was he just turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye?
She couldn't be sure of this.
But at this moment, she just felt that what happened to this child was not much different from that of the Zhenguo Palace in the previous life. They were both people who had their right to live taken away by others, a fresh and innocent life.
This experience made her heart feel heavy and sink uncontrollably.
The imperial doctors are still trying their best to save him, but their faces are getting more and more uneasy.
"It's the slave who deserves to die!"
The prince's personal eunuch was brought over, and he knelt on the ground, with the brocade box in his hand falling to his side.
"What on earth is going on?" Emperor Qingming's voice was low, but as cold as ice, "Why is there no one around to take care of the prince when something happens to him?"
"... Previously, I accompanied His Highness the Crown Prince to the Jiaotai Palace. As I approached the palace, I realized that I had forgotten to bring the birthday gift His Highness had prepared for the Queen... His Highness urged the servant to go back and get the things as soon as possible. The servant did not dare to wait for a moment.
When I was delayed, I only thought that the Jiaotai Palace was in front of me, but I never thought that... such a mistake would happen!"
The eunuch smashed his forehead and cried out in fear: "...It's the slave who was careless! The slave deserves death!"
"Even if you return to the East Palace to pick up things, there is no one else around His Highness?" The Queen looked at him carefully: "When His Highness walked out of the East Palace, there was only one person with him to serve - you are actually
Are you neglecting me so much?"
"Back... back to the Queen, today there is Xiao Xiangzi serving with the slaves at His Highness's side... However, on the way, he met the lost Miss Xu of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion in the garden, so His Highness sent Xiao Xiangzi to replace Xu.
The girls led the way...that's why there was no one around His Highness when something happened!"
As soon as he said this, Xu Mingyi immediately noticed that many eyes were falling on him.
Hearing the eunuch's intention to shirk responsibility, Xu Mingyi's eyes turned slightly cold.
This is quite a coincidence.
If someone really wants to use this matter to drag down the Duke's palace in the future, there is no need to use King Jing's mouth. They can directly describe her experience tonight as being in harmony with others and deliberately keeping away the eunuchs around the prince.
Meeting the Queen's gaze, the girl spoke calmly: "Queen, this is indeed true."
When the queen heard this, she just nodded and didn't say anything more or ask any questions.
Xia Xi on the side moved her eyes and opened her mouth to speak, but then she noticed that the atmosphere was tense and solemn, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips - she wanted to use this to cause some trouble for Xu Mingyi, but she also vaguely felt this.
The matter was of great importance, and this was not the time for her to speak rashly.
Several sweaty imperial doctors over there had laid the prince down on the ground and knelt down in the direction of Emperor Qingming.
The leading physician kowtowed his head and said in pain: "Your Majesty... I and others are incompetent and failed to save His Highness..."
"What did you say!"
Emperor Qingming's face turned grave.
Another imperial doctor said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the prince has no breath or pulse..."
Although there are cases of people being rescued after drowning without a heartbeat or breathing, it is easier to rescue drowning in summer than in spring and winter, but the prince is already cold and sick...
To put it harshly, a severe wind chill might even kill the prince, let alone drowning!
When they applied the acupuncture, they saw that the prince still had no reaction at all, so they knew that there was no way to save him. Their subsequent actions were just their last effort.
The color on Emperor Qingming's face faded, and his tall body swayed.
"His Majesty……"
The queen quickly supported the man.
"I hope your Majesty will take care of your dragon body!"
Officials headed by Xia Tingzhen knelt down one after another.
The female relatives who were standing closer also knelt down towards the boy who was lying flat on the ground, and most of the soft-hearted ones couldn't help but shed tears.
The palace people wailed loudly, and the prince's personal eunuch cried loudly and rushed towards him, kowtowing repeatedly: "Slavery deserves death!"
Cui Yunwei, who was kneeling there, secretly tugged on Xu Mingyi's skirt.
She has always envied her cousin's flamboyant personality, but... now that something like this has happened, almost everyone has knelt down, but her cousin is still standing. This is too flamboyant and frightening, right?
However, the next moment, the girl standing there seemed to have made some determination, and she quickly walked out of the crowd, saluted the emperor and empress, and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, the empress, I also had the same fate when I was young.
The medical servant at home has some medical knowledge. Although his medical skills are not good, he happens to know a method that can save drowning people. Please allow your Majesty to allow me to try my best!"
Although she has no ability to prevent the prince from being plotted, but after the prince drowned, she might be able to try to do something at this time!
The queen looked at her in surprise: "Miss Xu knows how to rescue?"
Everyone also looked at the girl who stood up in surprise.
Would a boudoir's daughter know how to save people better than an imperial doctor?
There were many people present who were astute. Looking at the girl at this moment, they couldn't help but guess - maybe the prince's personal eunuch had just mentioned that he had borrowed the prince's eunuch to lead the way. He felt uneasy and feared being suspected.
In order to prove your innocence, you did this in a panic?
"Yes, time is pressing, please let me give it a try!"
The queen's eyes hesitated for a moment.
The truth about the prince's drowning is still unknown. Privately, she doesn't want the Xu family to be involved, but the Xu family girl is so insistent...
"Your Majesty..." She finally looked at Emperor Qingming: "Why don't you let Miss Xu give it a try?"
Emperor Qingming, who was helped by the palace servants to sit down in the chair that was brought to him, had a deathly look in his eyes. He didn't even look at Xu Mingyi, but nodded obviously without hope.
After receiving the permission, Xu Mingyi immediately ran towards the prince, knelt down beside the prince and untied the prince's robe very quickly.
"this……"
The officials' expressions changed when they saw this.
I thought that the other party's move was bold enough, but in the next moment, I saw that the girl had completely opened the prince's robe, exposing his thin chest, and then she lowered her head and pressed against him behind the ear.
Although the prince is only ten years old this year, and it is now such a juncture, this scene still makes the dignitaries who always pay attention to propriety feel particularly inappropriate.
What's more, the royal family values face, and the death of the prince is already heartbreaking. How can someone do such an indecent act that is undignified in public...
The queen also vaguely noticed something was wrong.
But seeing that the girl looked nervous and serious, she turned sideways without leaving a trace, blocking Emperor Qingming's sight.
As long as the emperor doesn't stop, others can't say much... After all, once they speak at this juncture, they have ulterior motives.
