Glory all the way

Chapter 304 Framed
"Doctor, tell me, what's going on?"

In the time it takes for a cup of tea, the main hall of the East Palace is already full of people.

When Emperor Jiayuan arrived, he saw the Empress Dowager asking the imperial doctor angrily, and waved his hands to signal everyone to flatten. Emperor Jiayuan stepped forward and sat beside the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress, Prince, Crown Princess...

Standing or sitting in front of the most honorable masters in the palace, Imperial Physician Xu only felt faint in his heart, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back, he could even feel a little bit of sweat seeping into his shirt , the wet feeling of clothes sticking to his back, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Return to the Empress Dowager, the First Prince... the First Prince is dead."

After trembling, after saying these words, Imperial Physician Xu almost collapsed on the ground, and the several imperial physicians behind him trembled even more.

"Yesterday, Ai's family met the eldest prince. He is obviously more lively than the previous few days. Why did he disappear? If you don't tell the truth, the Shen Xingsi has something to do."

Thinking of the sick child who was obediently like a kitten in his arms yesterday, but today he has no breath and is lying in the cradle coldly, the empress dowager's eye circles instantly turned red, and her words became more and more harsh.

"The queen mother spares my life, the queen mother spares my life..."

Kowtowing his head, Imperial Physician Xu raised his head to look at the princess, and saw that there was a hint of warning in her red and swollen eyes. Imperial Physician Xu's heart tightened, and his face became more sincere and fearful, "Mr., I dare not speak nonsense..."

"Except for the crown prince's side concubine and Mrs. Du, all the rest of the idlers have withdrawn."

Seeing Dr. Xu peeking at the people around him from the corner of his eyes, the queen mother knew it, and raised her eyes to look at the prince and said.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, many people filed out in the main hall, and Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo standing beside her became even more abrupt.

"Doctor Xu, what happened to the First Prince, to be honest."

After the palace door was closed, the main hall was no longer as bright as it was before, and the Queen's words became more and more gloomy.

Imperial Physician Xu looked at Emperor Jiayuan and the Empress with a sad expression, "Empress Empress, the Eldest Prince was murdered, not a normal death."

In a word, the Crown Princess, who was sitting crookedly in the chair, stood up in horror, her body staggered, and she would have fallen headfirst to the ground if she hadn't been supported by a maidservant.

Looking up, seeing Emperor Jiayuan and the Empress Dowager staring at him, Imperial Physician Xu continued: "This minister is good at pediatrics, His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess trust this minister, so these days, the eldest prince is handed over to my minister for careful diagnosis and treatment." , has already seen initial results, if, if what happened today hadn't happened, within three months, the Eldest Prince would be healthy as before."

"Nowadays, although the eldest prince is weak, he doesn't cry like he did a few days ago. Therefore, Wei Chen and several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital jointly prescribed a diet prescription, and made a medicinal diet for the nursing mother to take. Milk strengthens the eldest prince's body. However, the eldest prince's premature death was caused by shortness of breath."

Doctor Xu's detailed words were understood by everyone present, and the last sentence lifted everyone's hearts to a higher place.

"Asthma failure, how is it caused?"

the prince asked sharply.

In Bai Yingluo's heart, that bad feeling became more and more obvious.

"Back to His Royal Highness..."

Imperial Physician Xu knelt down facing the prince, and said solemnly: "I found a lot of fluff in the nostrils of the first prince, and the last face of the first prince was also flushed, and his mouth was also wide open. It can be seen that he couldn't breathe air. So, it was suffocation."

The concubine was stunned, but the prince scolded with resentment: "What a clever idea, what a vicious heart."

In a word, the concubine, who was holding her handkerchief and didn't dare to cry, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Jiayuan and the empress, begging heartbrokenly: "Empress Dowager, Father, Empress, I beg you to make decisions for Rui'er, Please..."

While talking and kowtow, when the maid helped her up, a bloodstain had already appeared on the crown prince's forehead, which showed how much force she had just exerted.

"Then have you inspected the inner hall? What is the reason why the first prince's nostrils are blocked and the fluff is blocked?"

Emperor Jiayuan glanced at the Crown Princess calmly, then looked up at Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo, then lowered his head and asked.

Imperial physician Xu looked back at Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo with some hesitation, murmured for a long time, but finally said nothing.

Lin Zhimei glanced at the queen with some grievances, lowered her head and yelled at Imperial Physician Xu sharply: "There is a god standing three feet above your head, Imperial Physician Xu, we have never entered the inner hall just now, we don't know what happened, you If you think there is something wrong, you can say it out, the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress are the ones to decide. If you are so vague, do you have some hidden secrets?"

"I don't dare, it's really involved in a lot, I dare not say anything, and I ask Concubine Lin not to be so aggressive."

Doctor Xu said, poking his neck.

In a word, the suspicion was transferred to Lin Zhimei. Looking at the crown princess who was staring at her with fire in her eyes, Lin Zhimei knelt down angrily and said: "You are not afraid of the shadow, and please invite the empress dowager, the emperor and the queen to be your ministers." The concubine is in charge."

"what happened?"

Originally, I was very displeased with Beining Bo's family. After Lin Zhimei gave birth to the second prince, the second prince was lively and cute, and Lin Zhimei deliberately accompanied her carefully. The Queen Mother's attitude towards Lin Zhimei was a little better. Now, listen to Xu Taiyi's words The meaning here seems to be that Lin Zhimei did something secretly, and the queen mother's complexion became more and more bad.

Doctor Xu did not dare to delay any longer, and expressed his doubts in one go.

According to Imperial Physician Xu, the Eldest Prince died of suffocation, the fluff in his mouth and nose came from the padded jacket on the Second Prince's body, and the inducement was the sachet on Brother Yan.

Brother Yan dozed off, the princess saw it, and asked the nurse to take Brother Yan to sleep in the inner hall, and the second prince was also brought in.

The three children slept side by side, and the second prince was lively and active, so he played with his fingers alone. Next to the cradle, there was a wet nurse holding a doll to coax him.

There is an earth dragon in the hall, and two charcoal basins are placed in the corner. When the temperature is high, the fragrance in Brother Yan's sachet is released, and the lively second prince is even more mischievous and active. From inside the padded jacket, a lot of fine fluff floated out and landed in the nostrils of the Eldest Prince beside him. In the end, the Eldest Prince had difficulty breathing and died of suffocation.

Not only Bai Yingluo and Lin Zhimei, but even the Empress Dowager were stunned by what Imperial Doctor Xu said.

"You mean, the second prince and the young master of the Du Mansion killed the first prince?"

With an unbelievable expression on her face, the queen mother questioned Xu Tai's doctor.

"I don't dare to say that, I'm just discussing the facts."

Doctor Xu kowtowed and said.

Another imperial physician who had checked the matter together took over the words in a timely manner: "Going back to the empress dowager, young master Du's sachet contains lilacs, lilies and jasmines. For adults, it has the effect of calming the mind, regulating qi and refreshing the mind , but for such a small baby, it will make him so excited that he can't sleep peacefully. Especially in the warm inner hall, being roasted by charcoal fire will double the effect, so the second prince will play excitedly, thus causing The tidbits in the cotton-padded jacket flew up, blocking the First Prince's nostrils."

"Exactly. Besides, the officials have verified that there are also tiny fluffs in the mouth of the First Prince. The First Prince has been unable to sleep peacefully for the past few months and cried a lot. His throat is already fragile. These tiny fluffs are stuck in his throat. , even if you don’t suffocate to death, you will also suffer from asthma and exhaustion due to continuous coughing.”

Physician Xu added.

With those words, Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone can tell that this is a conspiracy aimed at killing the eldest prince who is showing signs of improvement, and the two infant children are naturally being used by others. After all, no one will suspect that the two underage children Go to the one-year-old child.

As their mothers, Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo, who had always been on good terms with each other, were naturally major suspects.

"Concubine Lin, you are so cruel. This palace treats you well, but Fan Ruier has one, and the second prince also has one. How dare you treat him like this? It is because you have a lot of resentment towards this palace because you can't be a princess. , but Ruier is innocent, you are really determined to kill him? Concubine Lin, you..."

The princess cursed sharply, her eyes seemed to ooze blood, if she hadn't been stopped by the maid, she would have jumped on Lin Zhimei and bit Lin Zhimei.

Lin Zhimei crawled to the prince's feet with an aggrieved face, grabbed his lapel and argued: "Your Highness, I don't, I don't, you have to believe me, if I kill the eldest prince, I am willing to be struck by lightning." , and go down to the [-]th floor of hell to die a good death."

The crown prince and Lin Zhimei gave birth to the first prince and the second prince successively. Once the first prince dies, the second prince grows up and will be the eldest son of the prince. Love, the future is bright.

Therefore, from this point of view, Lin Zhimei had the most reason to do such a thing.

Because she was supposed to be the crown princess, and her first child also died. Although there is no evidence that it was the crown prince's handwriting, it can be seen that the crown princess made the most profit, so it really wasn't her, she also had a mouth Difficult to argue.

As for Bai Yingluo, it was easier to explain.

She had a good relationship with Lin Zhimei, and the Crown Princess had always made things difficult for her. If the Crown Princess lost power, it would be more convenient for her to have Lin Zhimei become the actual head of the inner court of the Eastern Palace.

What's more, who can doubt the two children?After all, for any one of them alone, there is no way to cause the eldest prince to die early.

If Brother Yan didn't have a sachet on him, the second prince would not be so excited, maybe he would be tired and fall asleep after playing for a while, even if there were goose feathers and catkins in the padded jacket, they would not shake out from the clothes.

If the second prince didn't have goose feathers and catkins on his body, even if Brother Yan had a sachet, at most the second prince was more lively and active, so how could there be such a thing as blocking the first prince's throat and nostrils?

They were intertwined, but they took advantage of the two children. Immediately, not to mention the Queen Mother and Empress, even Emperor Jiayuan had a hint of anger in his eyes. When he looked at Lin Zhimei and Bai Yingluo, he felt a little disdainful.

Seeing the Crown Princess who was crying and lying in the arms of the servant girl, who seemed to be about to faint, Bai Yingluo covered the sneer on her lower lip, looked up at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
