The fourth prince is the lifeblood of Empress Fang, she has been separated from Emperor Longqing now, and no longer has the love of the past, the only one who can rely on and count on is this son.

After Qin Tianjian caught fire, pointing to the deer as a horse and saying that the fourth prince was the reincarnation of the eldest prince, her relationship with Emperor Longqing dropped to the freezing point.

Although he later succeeded in bringing the four princes to his side, he still couldn't recover the decline after all.

Emperor Longqing has five princes under his knees, and Concubine De has always been devoted to Emperor Longqing, even Concubine Lin Shu, who he has always valued, is pregnant and about to give birth, and his patience with Queen Fang's mother and son is really limited.

And after the dispute between the court and the Chinese prince was in full swing, Emperor Longqing's heart had another layer of estrangement between Queen Fang's mother and son----- although he was old, what he was most afraid of was that others said he was old.

The more difficult things are to obtain, the more tightly you want to grasp them.

When he was young, he had enough of the suffering of not being favored, and after seizing power, he was able to stand out among his brothers and decide their life and death, so he was reluctant to step down from this position.

Even if this person is his own son, it can't be.

However, Queen Fang was a little anxious about the dispute between the princes, and he became more and more alienated from Queen Fang.

Before the accident of the fourth prince, he had not set foot in Fengyi Palace for more than half a month.

But he didn't expect that when he stepped into Fengyi Palace again this time, what he saw would be his son's corpse.

It is true that he does not like the fourth prince as much as he does the fifth prince, and recently because of his short temper, and his mother Empress Fang's ambition is getting higher and higher, he has a little disgust with the fourth prince.

But no matter how disgusted he was, it was all his son.

And the number of his sons is really not much.

Even for his daughter, he has always loved him like a treasure, let alone a son.

The moment he saw the Four Princes, his eyes almost didn't move, looking at the Four Princes lying motionless on the bed, he only felt that his throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't go up or down, which made people feel like a fish in his throat, so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to gause.

Empress Fang couldn't even cry anymore, hugging the four princes and refusing to let people get close.

Even Aunt Xiao cautiously stepped forward to ask her to put the fourth prince down, but she scolded her.

Emperor Longqing was already a little unsteady on his feet, and with the support of Gonggong An, he could barely pac to the bed of the fourth prince, touched the lips of the fourth prince, and barely kept his senses and asked Empress Fang: "What's the matter?" ”

Empress Fang's eyes were blank, she turned a deaf ear to the arrival of Emperor Longqing, and it seemed that she didn't hear his questioning, but she just hugged the four princes and refused to let go.

It was Xiao Gu who cried and stepped forward to say it.

The fourth prince was with the fifth prince, and when the two went to the West Garden to see the cheetah, the four princes made a fuss about getting close to the leopard, and one of the chamberlains accidentally let the leopard break out of the cage.

The fourth prince was thrown to the ground by the leopard at that time.

He had epilepsy in the first place, and when he was frightened by this, he began to twitch his limbs and foam at the mouth.

Later, although the attendants swarmed up and dispersed the leopards together with the nearby Jin Wuwei, the four princes saw that they could not do it.

The doctors were able to diagnose and treat them in a timely manner, but they were still of little use.

After struggling for a while, the fourth prince finally had difficulty breathing, his face flushed, and he lost his life after a short time.

Emperor Longqing's feet shook a few times, and he fell softly on the edge of the bed, looking at the pale and thin face of the fourth prince, he couldn't say a word for a while.

He recently built a Colosseum in Xiyuan, and when he has nothing to do, he likes to go over to see those tigers and leopards.

The leopard they said was also a tribute from the governor of Zhejiang recently, and he gave him a birthday gift, saying that it was an auspicious omen.

The leopard was snow-white, and when the governor of Zhejiang said that, even he felt that this might be really auspicious from heaven, and it should be on this leopard, so he liked it very much.

He also specially told them to take good care of it.

But who knew that such a big incident would happen in just such a short period of time.

He came to his senses, stared at Gonggong An with his eyes like lightning, and asked almost through gritted teeth: "Who are the people who are following the two princes?!" Arrest me and judge! Good review! ”

Emperor Longqing was really angry.

That night, the palace urgently summoned King Zheng and others into the palace, and there was no movement until the evening of the next day.

At the same time, everyone was immersed in the great shock of the death of the fourth prince, so much so that something that should have also shocked the world was drowned in this huge wave for a while.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division rescued a group of people trapped in the fire from a burning house in Beijing Hutong, but what was shocking was that Chu Jingxing, the prince of Linjiang Wangfu, was among them.

And what's even more shocking is ......

When Chu Jingxing was rescued, he was still naked.

Even though the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division recognized Chu Jingxing, whose face was already blackened by smoke, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do for a while, because Chu Jingxing inhaled excessive smoke and fell unconscious, and the number of onlookers was too large, so he had to disperse the people and ask for a doctor.

The most important thing is that the officials below have pointed out that there are four fire points, and there are traces of fire oil, which is arson.

Since ancient times, murder and arson have been an unforgivable sin in parallel, not to mention that this fire also burned down many houses next door.

For example, several imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate lived here, and their houses were implicated, either the walls were blackened, or the shadow wall was destroyed by fire, and the daughter's embroidery building was burned down.

The commander of Nancheng has always been the one who is most afraid of causing trouble, so he has to tell the truth, saying that there is arson in this house, and the specific matters can only be specifically inquired after the prince of Linjiang Mansion wakes up.

Everyone was puzzled and shocked for a moment.

Linjiang Wangfu can be in the imperial city, and it has nothing to do with the eight poles of Beijing Hutong, it stands to reason that Lord Shizi should not appear in such a place, how can the fire be related to him?

The imperial historians all seemed to smell something, urging the people in the family to inquire more and more diligently.

One of the people who burned was the son of the world, and the fire also burned several people, and the commander of Nancheng did not dare to slack off, so he ordered the people under his command to strictly investigate, and after a while, some people said that they found that the male owner of the house was not there, and they didn't know where they went.
