Could it be that the imperial physician who passed away eighteen years ago was...
I don't know what she thought of, but the queen on the phoenix chariot clenched her fingers slightly.
After returning to the Jade Kun Palace, she rejected the idle palace attendants on the grounds that she was tired and needed a rest.
At this usual time, when she was taking a nap, the palace maid took off her complicated palace clothes and took off the beaded crown on her head.
Aunt Jiang was bending over to spread out the thin quilt on the couch when she suddenly heard an order: "Mom, help me take out that box -"
box?
Aunt Jiang was startled for a moment, but she quickly reacted. After a low voice, she took out a wooden box carved with lotus branches from the cabinet on the side.
This box was inconspicuous among the large and small boxes and brocade boxes that were only used to hold jewelry.
However, after opening it, in addition to a pair of yellow croaker and double swallow jade pendants, there was another compartment underneath, and inside the compartment was a booklet.
The queen sat at the dressing table with her hair half down, flipping through the slightly yellowed book. On it were the names of individuals. These people were either people in the palace or former servants of Prince Yan's palace, with different identities.
Same, except for one thing in common...
That is, these are all people who had direct or indirect contact with her sister before her accident. In other words - they are people who may be related to her sister's death.
She stole this from her father before she left the government.
Even though she knew that her father must have sent someone to check everything, she still checked them one by one after arriving in Beijing.
Some people have no real suspects after repeated investigations, some have no clues in the middle of the investigation, and some are no longer alive.
Joe Bing is the last one...
The queen's eyes were fixed on the name of the person under her command - indeed there was such a name!
Joe Bing...
This person was responsible for her sister’s pregnancy!
Although it was never discovered that the other party had done anything, it was a very coincidental fact that this person suddenly hanged himself in the Imperial Medical Office not long after her sister's accident...
She also left a suicide note. She probably remembered that it seemed that she felt guilty for failing to cure the late emperor, so she chose to commit suicide to apologize.
Of course she had doubts about this person, but he had been dead for many years and there was no trace of many things.
Unexpectedly, after eighteen years, this name that should have been forgotten was mentioned again by the emperor...
The queen's eyes flashed, and for a while, many guesses were intertwined in her mind.
Regardless of whether she is overly concerned or not, it would be best to investigate this matter.
There must be secret investigations inside and outside the palace...
The dark court was not a place that could be easily set foot on, and in order to avoid alerting others, she had to think of a most appropriate method before calling anyone to investigate.
As for outside the palace——
She wanted to write a letter and have it sent back to the palace to her brother.
The queen asked Aunt Jiang to prepare paper and pen, but when she picked up the pen, she suddenly changed her mind.
Perhaps, she should leave this matter to A Yuan.
It’s not that I don’t believe in my brother’s ability to do things. Although my brother is indeed quite mediocre at home and has little sense of presence, he is really no match for his father, and he is also defeated by his son. He is even a head shorter than Tianjiao now... But really
When it comes to doing business, my brother is still very reliable.
But sometimes it's just too reliable.
To put it bluntly, it's just stupid.
For example, when it comes to listening to my father.
His father has always insisted that A Yuan has a special status and that he should not be allowed to know too much about or interfere with many things before the overall situation is determined. In his eyes, this is for safety reasons and to ensure A Yuan's safety.
But are some things really "meddling"?
In her view, big things must be done, but in life, there are many things that seem to have nothing to do with the success or failure of big things, but they are equally important.
She thought that A Yuan must think so too.
This child had privately asked her a lot about Sister A's life not long ago. After knowing that she was still secretly investigating the cause of A Sister's death, he discussed it with her - if there is any progress, please be sure to inform him.
She agreed at that time.
Since she agreed, as an aunt and an aunt, with these two identities, she naturally had to keep her word.
The queen made up her mind and put pen to paper.
…
Wu Chao found Xu Mingyi three days after receiving the secret letter.
In Xuesheng Teahouse, Wu Chao had already told the general story of what happened.
Xu Mingyi listened with great concentration and kept thinking along with his words. When he heard that Qiao Bingying might be related to the death of his biological mother, he nodded and said: "It is indeed possible."
Just now Wu Chao said that when his biological mother was still alive, there was always a medical girl in the Yan Palace who accompanied the former Princess Yan. The medical woman was a trustworthy person sent by the Wu clan. When the former Princess Yan was pregnant,
It can be said to be extremely careful.
If it were ordinary means, it would indeed be impossible to escape the eyes of the people in Prince Yan's palace.
But it should be noted that there are still unusual methods in this world——
"If a person like Divine Doctor Qiu, who is good at treating poisons, uses some hidden tricks in diet or prescriptions, it is not impossible to hide it from the public." Xu Mingyi said: "Some methods may not be revealed in a day or two.
Danger comes, but as time goes by, hidden dangers remain——"
It is said that Princess Qian Yan had already moved her fetus due to the death of the late emperor and the sudden change of tension in the capital.
Later, I heard rumors that something happened to King Yan, which led to the subsequent tragedy——
But judging from the few deeds of the former Princess Yan, Xu Mingyi could feel that she must be a woman with a strong will and a very measured approach.
Just being stimulated may not lead to such a change...
She thought that the Wu family must have thought the same way, which is why they had suspected from the beginning that something was fishy about what happened to Princess Qian Yan.
If it is true that someone secretly used some sinister means to damage the fetus, and if she suddenly suffered a major blow, then it would undoubtedly be inevitable that something would happen to the former Princess Yan...
Wu Chao said: "Qiao Bingying was indeed quite famous during his lifetime. He was only thirty years old when he hanged himself, but he was already one of the top figures in the Imperial Medical Office."
Xu Mingyi's eyes moved slightly: "This must be just a medical achievement..."
Within the palace, what can be revealed is limited.
The most critical thing now is, why would the emperor mention this person's name when he had a headache and ask for this person's pulse to be taken?
In her opinion, even though he was delirious at the time, it was more likely to be like "telling the truth after drinking" rather than talking nonsense.
And the rather strange box mentioned in the Queen's letter...
Although the Empress has made it clear in the letter that the box cannot hold an adult man, this does not prevent them from combining other existing clues to make a guess as boldly as possible -
When their eyes met, Wu Chao said slowly: "This person may still be alive."
