As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 233: Mother and son are withered

Yun Qi said: "After I returned to Beijing, I had someone carefully check his daily life and diet. I also had a close friend keep an eye on him. Lu Jingrong also checked his pulse to make sure that there was nothing wrong with his health."

"Then..." Xie Zhaozhao hesitated: "The prince is in the East Palace, and he is also going to Liang Di and Liang Yuan, right? It seems that there has been no news of pregnancy in more than ten years?"

"Ah."

Yun Qi nodded: "Although my father is busy with government affairs, he also knows that the matter of the emperor's heir is very important. He goes to the concubines in the East Palace a few days every month, but there is no news about all the concubines."

"And the father himself has no problem. It can only prove that the problem lies with those concubines."

"That day, after my father asked the imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse, he suddenly called me in. He thought that I had tampered with him. I was so angry that I said nothing."

Then he was punished by the prince for fifty battles.

But in fact the fifty battles were not fought.

Yun Qi was very angry at first, and wanted to jump up and throw away his sleeves, but he soon realized that some people must be watching the father and son quarrel in the dark, so he took advantage of the situation and knelt in front of the prince to accept the punishment.

Before receiving the punishment, he spoke sincerely and apologized for contradicting his father, which also showed that he really had no knowledge of his son's incident.

The prince saw that he had received more than 30 canes without saying a word, so he finally relented and sent someone to investigate carefully. Unexpectedly, the clue was broken.

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "What kind of clues are they?"

"It is said to be an old nun." Yun Qi frowned: "I didn't see the person, but my father did. He was an old man from the East Palace. He vaguely said that I had people send flowers and plants to the concubines of the East Palace. I smell the fragrance of the flowers and plants every day. It’s not easy to get pregnant.”

"After I received the cane, my father sent someone to bring the nanny for interrogation. The nanny was already dead. There were no traces at the scene. She was definitely hanged by herself."

Xie Zhaozhao asked again: "What about the flowers and plants that grandma mentioned? Are they true?"

"Ah."

Yun Qi nodded, with an extremely gloomy expression, "That is a kind of green plant called dieffenbachia. It looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact it is not called dieffenbachia, but is specially cultivated."

"Mr. Lu said it is called Zimuku. If you put more pots in the yard, it will be difficult for a woman to conceive if she lives in them."

"It's a coincidence that there are them in the courtyards of all the concubines in the East Palace."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and took a deep breath, "It seems like this is a trap. If you directly fight with the prince like before, then this matter must be framed on you."

Just because when the incident happened this time, Yun Qi responded quickly and sincerely, apologized and defended himself, and in the past six months, the prince and Yun Qi had repaired their relationship.

With trust between father and son, the plan of the person in the dark failed.

Otherwise it will be a big deal this time.

"Yes." Yun Qi nodded again, "But the person behind this is really evil... I have asked people to secretly investigate Zimu Ku and everyone who has dealt with Donggong Flowers and Grass, and we must find out the mastermind behind this! "

Xie Zhaozhao also nodded, looking at the rough tea in the rough porcelain bowl in front of him, Xie Zhaozhao suddenly said: "There are also children and mothers in the yard where the princess lives?"

Judging from Xie Zhaozhao's past life experience, the most suspicious person in the East Palace is the Crown Princess.

On the surface, the Crown Princess is too kind-hearted, but secretly she is extremely evil. Not only does she try to sow the father-son relationship between Yun Qi and the Crown Prince, but she also attempts to discredit Yun Qi in an important occasion like the Land and Water Conference. Her thoughts are really vicious.

Moreover, Xie Zhaozhao remembered that the Crown Princess had been pregnant in the early years, but later she had an unexpected abortion. She vaguely heard that she was pushed by Yun Qi.

However, the Crown Princess looked pitiful at that time and even pleaded for Yun Qi, saying that he was just a child and did not do it on purpose. However, this was tantamount to confirming Yun Qi's guilt, which made the Crown Prince even more angry.

Yun Qi was only a few years old at that time, how could he have such vicious thoughts?
He couldn't argue and kept saying "it's not him", but except for Xie Zhaozhao, everyone else didn't seem to believe it.

Although the incident was settled later, there was an irreparable rift between the prince and Yun Qi and his son. "good."

Yun Qi obviously also understood what Xie Zhaozhao meant by specifically proposing the crown princess.

He paused, "Not only do they exist in the Crown Princess's Courtyard, but there are more of them than anyone else... In the East Palace, there are almost everywhere, and there are quite a few people meddling with the flowers and plants, so it takes a lot of trouble to check them out. "

"But there are a few people who are very suspicious and are naturally the focus of the investigation."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "It seems that you are confident, that's good. If there is anything you need my help with, just tell me."

Yun Qi smiled and said, "If you think more about me, come to me more and stay with me, you will be doing me a favor."

Xie Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at him, drank the coarse tea in the bowl, and pulled Yun Qi's arm up: "Let's go, let's take a look at the front!"

……

In the restaurant next to Minghua Tower, Zhou Wangxu clenched his fist and coughed lightly on the beam, looking at the bustle on the street, his face as calm as water.

pat.

Someone pushed the door open and said, "Your Highness, everything is arranged."

"Yes." King Zhou nodded, looking at the lantern tower outside Minghua Building, and said quietly: "On such a lively day, it must be filled with different colors so that everyone can remember it."

"That's right!" The young man hiding in the dark said: "Chen Zhiyuan offended King Liang. If anything happens to him, King Liang will definitely be suspicious. Chen Shulan should be married to King Dingxi."

"And now King Dingxi is having a fierce fight with the young lady of the Xie family. Even the prince and the emperor are partial to the Xie family. At this juncture, it is not impossible to say that the Chen family is suffering because of King Dingxi's refusal to marry!"

"Yes." King Zhou said calmly: "Besides, Chen Zhiyuan is no longer favored by King Zhongshan, and he is also the eldest son of King Zhongshan."

"If something happens to Chen Zhiyuan in the capital, the King of Zhongshan will definitely not let it go... Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated to the north of Hebei. When the King of Zhongshan is angry, my father will not be able to sleep at night."

"It's just a pity Chen Shulan..." King Zhou lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "It's a pity."

*
The streets are very lively, and people are crowded together. It can be said to be a sea of ​​​​people.

Even in the house far away from Zhengjie, you can hear the noise, laughter and the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

In the Chen family courtyard, tonight was no different from usual.

Because the father-daughter relationship between Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Shulan was tense, the servants in the villa were very cautious, and Chen Shulan was in a very bad condition. This year, there was basically no festive atmosphere in the Chen family villa.

It was quiet up to this point.

Aunt Liu brought the decoction to Chen Shulan's bedside.

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes and drank slowly.

The soup was so bitter that it was almost unbearable to smell it, but she drank it without changing her expression. After drinking it, she asked quietly: "Father is out tonight?"

"Yes." Nanny Liu replied in a low voice: "I said I made an appointment with two colleagues to enjoy the lanterns together. I'm afraid it will take a while before I come back."

"Oh... there are a lot of people outside, right?"

"There are people everywhere." Nanny Liu said: "Just now, Qing Moss went out to buy two new gadgets for the girl. She said there were so many people that she almost got stepped on... Girl, look, does this porcelain doll look good? ?”

Chen Shulan glanced at it casually and said lightly: "Mommy, I want to leave."
