One hundred and twenty-two: Poisoning
Soon after the death of the fourth prince, the fifth prince fell ill after him, and Concubine Peng Defei was very frightened, so she stayed by the side of the fifth prince all night, and asked people to find Emperor Longqing before dawn.
Emperor Longqing received the news and rushed over from the Taiji Hall for a while.
Because of the matter of the four princes, although he didn't go to Queen Fang's place to stay overnight, but in order to take care of Queen Fang's mood, although he remembered Concubine Peng's mother and son, he also stayed in Lanyue Palace for a while and then went back to the Taiji Hall to rest.
Who knew that it hadn't been long since he closed his eyes, and he was awakened by the news that the fifth prince was sick.
He only has this one son now, and when he heard that his son was sick, he couldn't even take care of his clothes in a hurry, so he quickly boarded the dragon chariot and went straight to Lanyue Palace.
The fifth prince's face was pale, his face was flushed, and he was humming and chirping in his sleep, which seemed to be extremely uncomfortable.
He sat on the edge of the bed and held the hands of the five princes, and before he had time to say anything to Concubine Peng De, he immediately asked Kong to say the five princes' illness.
Kong Fengfeng didn't dare to slack off, and told him that the fifth prince first had abdominal pain, and then he followed the diarrhea, and then he started a high fever, and now he has fallen asleep after taking medicine.
Emperor Longqing frowned, his eyes were cold, and after a while, he personally folded the quilt for him, and asked him instead: "What is the reason, do you know?" ”
Concubine Peng Defei held her son's hand and refused to let go, but when she heard this, she couldn't help it anymore, and threw herself into Emperor Longqing's arms and cried: "Holy Lord, you have to be the master for him!" The imperial doctor said that Xiao Wu ate something unclean......"
The anger in Emperor Longqing's eyes almost broke through his eyes in an instant, he turned his head to look at his son who was still breathing, and asked Kong Xianfeng quietly in a steady manner: "Ate the wrong thing?" What did you eat wrong? ”
Kong didn't even dare to lift his head, he lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, and then he dared to swallow his saliva and said nervously: "If you come back to the saint, before you come, the ministers have already checked all the things that the prince ate last night, and found that it was a stack of pea yellow, somehow there was a slight oleander powder......"
Oleander powder?
Emperor Longqing sneered in his heart, and then his heart couldn't help but hang again.
Sure enough, after the fourth prince, he planned to attack his other son.
Thinking about him, I felt extremely angry.
The matter of the four princes has not been solved before, and the murderer has not been investigated, and now there is another poisoning of the five princes.
What did these people think of his palace? What did he think of as an emperor again?
Now he dares to take advantage of the sacrifice of the four princes to commit a crime against the wind!
He quickly glanced at everyone in the hall, and then quietly ordered Gonggong An: "Please Lin Sanshao." ”
Concubine Peng De was so frightened that her face turned blue, and she knelt beside Emperor Longqing, her knees were always soft, and she couldn't stand up.
As soon as she thought that her son was almost dead, she was terrified.
She cried a lot, but Emperor Longqing didn't have a chance to comfort her for the time being, and turned around to ask Kong Xian: "What is the condition of the five princes now?" ”
Kong Fengfeng and Sun Yuanju glanced at each other, and both of them came up and gave their hands: "If you go back to the saint, now that the poison has been resolved, as long as you wait until the fifth prince no longer has a fever, the next thing will be easy to do." ”
Since ancient times, the imperial doctors have loved to open the Taiping and say the Taiping language, but this time, neither of them dared to say these words to fool Emperor Longqing, let alone say anything that might not be good with Emperor Longqing's appetite.
But if they say the wrong thing, their lives may be lost.
Emperor Longqing snorted, turned to look at the fifth prince who was lying on the bed, not very stable when he fell asleep, he was a little happy in his heart, stretched out his hand and touched his head, and watched him turn around uneasily before standing up.
Lin Sanshao was already outside the palace, and Emperor Longqing asked him to enter the side hall, and asked him directly: "The matter of the four princes, have you investigated it?" ”
He has always trusted Lin Sanshao, but this time Lin Sanshao's work efficiency was really low, so that those people dared to attack his other son rampantly again.
This was intolerable to him.
Lin Sanshao had already guessed what was going on, and he was as calm as ever, and said softly: "The minister is incompetent, and he is following up." ”
Emperor Longqing glanced at him, but he was not angry with him, but just sneered: "That's right, the two cases can be handled together." ”
He nodded to Grandpa An.
Gonggong An hurriedly told Lin Sanshao about the five princes being poisoned by oleander powder, and finally said: "These people are hiding in the palace, which is really difficult for people to sleep and eat, and it is impossible to prevent it, and the safety of the saint and the ladies cannot be guaranteed, so the commander must be careful." ”
In just a few days, after poisoning the five princes with the claws of a leopard, these people were inevitably too bold.
Lin Sanshao's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry.
Shen Chen rarely had the opportunity to talk to him in private, and as soon as he heard that the fifth prince was also poisoned, he said, "Do you suspect that Chu Jingxing did it?" ”
Lin Sanshao snorted, stood under the corridor with his hands and looked at the flowers and trees outside, turned his back to Shen Chen and couldn't see his face clearly, and said coldly: "The matter of the fourth prince, I found out that the leopard has always been fed by a eunuch named Xiao Xiazi, but two days before the leopard's accident, Xiao Xiazi was taken away from this errand because of illness......
He turned to look at Shen Chen, and emphasized word by word: "This little Xia Zi is the same Xiao Xia Zi who entered and exited your Linjiang Mansion before." ”
Shen Chen's face also became solemn.
Chu Jingxing was able to lay so many lines in the palace, and they crisscrossed one by one, forming a complex network of relationships.
"It's broken again." Lin Sanshao turned to face Shen Chen and looked into his eyes: "Because Xiao Xiazi died of illness, the body has been transported out of the palace and transported to the mass grave on the outskirts of the city." ”
That kind of little eunuch died, basically this is the result, if there are no relatives, the straw mat will be thrown everywhere.
As soon as Xiao Xiazi died, he didn't know where to start if he wanted to investigate.
"The palace maids around the fifth prince can't say anything no matter how they torture them." Lin Sanshao was silent and said sarcastically: "Those people who are waiting around the four princes...... The rest of them all said that they didn't know, and there was also a nurse closest to the four princes, who was also martyred because of the death of the master. ”
The clue is completely broken.
Shen Chen was very keen to grasp the key point: "Suicide? ”
Lin Sansun nodded.
"Where would anyone not take care of their own life?" Shen Chen frowned, and tapped his fingers on the windowsill: "I remember that the nurse of the fourth prince is indeed very favored by the fourth prince and the queen's mother, just because of this, she won't want to die, right?" ”
