"Investigate further. Where did the leader of the Imperial Guard go after leaving the capital? Who did he meet? What did he do after entering the palace and seeing Concubine Hui? Investigate everything for me."
The prince's chest heaved; he had never been so angry.
He has always had expectations for his father.
Which son would not expect his father to be a man of great character? Especially when he is in the royal family, he would even more hope that his father would be a wise ruler.
Even in the past, his father was not considered a wise ruler, but since he was able to make use of Fubao, he felt that his father at least had a good eye for talent.
But now, why is he bewitched by Concubine Hui?
He couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't let his father go on like this. He had to put an end to this matter.
Fubao figured out something was wrong at home, and seeing her suddenly gloomy expression, Gu Jinguo immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Fubao, did something big happen?"
Fubao looked at his fourth brother, who was the most perceptive about the affairs of the court.
"I'm afraid it's not good for the emperor."
Gu Jinguo was shocked: "Why? These days, the emperor has a rosy complexion and seems to be fine."
All the officials were discussing privately that the emperor was about to get better.
"It is precisely because your complexion is rosy and you look so good that it is not good."
"The Emperor's health was already weakened, and he needed to be slowly nursed back to health. He's suddenly feeling better now, so it must be because he's taken some strong medicine."
"I just had a fortune-teller's divination and found out that the Emperor will not live long."
Gu Jinguo's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked around. When he didn't see anyone else, his expression relaxed.
"Fubao, what should we do?"
If something happens to the emperor, the country will definitely be in turmoil.
"Fourth brother, come with me to see the Crown Prince."
Gu Jinguo has already entered the court, and he has to participate in some things in order to grow.
Moreover, the Crown Prince needs manpower around him, and Fourth Brother can go there to help the Crown Prince.
The prince did not expect Fubao to come to him on his own initiative.
"Brother Crown Prince, has something happened to the Emperor?"
Seeing Fubao's anxiety, the prince told him what had happened.
"In other words, there's something fishy about Concubine Hui."
"Brother Prince, have you found anything?"
At this time, the person who was monitoring the leader of the guards came back.
"Your Highness, I've found out!"
The man looked at Fubao, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should speak.
"you say!"
The prince had no intention of hiding the truth from Fubao. He did not want to let Fubao suffer before, but now that Fubao knew everything, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"After leaving the capital, the Imperial Guard leader Wang Pingchuan contacted human traffickers and bought a dozen babies from them, sending them all to a courtyard in the suburbs.
That yard..."
At this point, the man's face turned pale.
"In that yard, all those babies were killed and bled. They used the babies' blood to make medicine..."
Fubao's heart suddenly rose, his eyes widened, and his little face looked dull.
"A dozen babies?"
That’s more than ten lives!
The Crown Prince's expression turned grim. "So this is the pill Concubine Hui gave Father?"
"yes!"
When the servant thought of that scene, his back still felt cold.
There were hundreds of baby corpses piled up in that yard.
So many children, so many children, they just came into this world, they can't even walk, can't talk, and have not experienced this world, but they are strangled.
The prince was cold all over. Did his father know that the pills he took were made from baby blood?
If the emperor knew, he...
The prince didn't dare to think about it. He took a deep breath and planned to go to the palace to see the emperor first.
The emperor has been in good health these two days and attends the morning court every day, but after the morning court, he disappears without a trace. He goes to Yongmei Palace every day and is so close to Concubine Hui that they seem to be one person.
In the harem, all the other concubines went to the queen to complain.
"Empress, didn't you say before that the Emperor was ill? Why is he visiting Concubine Hui every day now? It seems..."
The concubine was a little bit troubled to say the following words, but everyone understood the meaning.
"Yes, Empress, the Emperor looks very well now. Is that true?"
Another concubine asked, and the queen rubbed her eyebrows.
"You have never seen the emperor, and neither has I."
She would rather not have such an emperor, so as to avoid having to worry about these women and not being able to live a peaceful day.
"Empress, you are the master of the harem. How could the emperor ignore you?"
The concubines looked at the queen with anxious eyes, but the queen just chuckled.
"Although I am the Queen, I cannot make the decision on the Emperor's affairs. Sisters, please go back. I cannot make the decision for you."
In the past few years, several of these concubines had challenged her as the queen.
Now that the emperor loves no one, he actually comes to her to complain.
Oh, what's there to complain about? Men are heartless, that's all.
These people just don't understand.
"Ladies, please go back."
Nanny Ding asked all the concubines to leave, and when she came back and looked at the expressionless queen, she felt sad.
How much did the Empress love the Emperor back then? She was willing to do anything for him. Even after he found someone new, she still had expectations for him.
But later on, the emperor cared less and less about the empress, and the empress became cold-hearted.
The Emperor thought the Empress was cruel, but who knew that the Empress was completely heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, the prince has entered the palace."
Nanny Ding told the queen the news she had just received, and her expression changed.
"Wouldn't it be displeasing the Emperor if the Crown Prince entered the palace at this time?"
"Send someone to watch over it. If anything goes wrong, report back immediately."
Now the only person she cares about is the prince. If something happens to the prince, no, she will never let anything happen to the prince.
The prince has already gone to Yongmei Palace.
Just like last time, the prince was stopped outside.
"Father, I have something important to discuss with you. If you won't come out, I'll have no choice but to barge in."
There was still no movement in Yongmei Palace. The prince called on his men to rush in. Wang Pingchuan brought people over and tried to stop them.
"Your Highness, you cannot enter without the Emperor's order."
The prince looked at him coldly. As the leader of the imperial guard, he should have protected the palace and the emperor, but he teamed up with the concubines to poison his father.
"Someone, take Wang Pingchuan down!"
Wang Pingchuan was caught and looked at the prince angrily.
"Even if you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you cannot do what you please to me. I am the leader of the Imperial Guards. You captured me for no reason. Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's blame?"
Such threats sounded ironic to the prince.
"If you didn't do anything wrong, why would I arrest you? Think carefully about how you're going to explain your mistakes!"
Wang Pingchuan was shocked. Could it be that what he did was discovered? No, it was impossible. He has always been careful, so how could he be discovered?
