Chapter 248 Something happened to the third prince!
Concubine Shu buried her head in the emperor's neck, and her low voice carried a hint of grievance, "Your Majesty...are you laughing at me?"
A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes, "My beloved concubine, why would you think so?"
Concubine Shu bit her lower lip and said shyly, "In the past, your Majesty always had Sister Li Fei by his side."
"Although I admire Your Majesty in my heart, I don't understand Your Majesty's heart..." Concubine Shu lowered her eyes with a sad face.
The emperor hugged the man distressedly and said, "It's my fault."
Concubine Shu looked up, her face full of satisfaction, "As long as I know that Your Majesty has me in his heart... I will have no other thoughts."
"I just want to stay with Your Majesty more. I am not afraid even if Sister Li Fei blames me."
Concubine Shu took the initiative to reach out and hugged the emperor tightly, with her cheek resting on his warm and broad chest.
The young woman's soft, warm and energetic body pressed against his...
The emperor was so soft-hearted that he embraced her lovingly and said, "In that case, it was my fault that I made my beloved concubine misunderstand me."
Concubine Shu shook her head, "It has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It's just that I'm not brave enough..."
Concubine Shu raised her eyes and asked pitifully, "Your Majesty... don't you like me to be close to Your Majesty?"
She looked extremely pitiful.
The emperor quickly said, "How could that be? I like this kind of concubine very much."
The emperor picked up Concubine Shu by the waist and walked towards the inner room...
Concubine Shu buried her head in the emperor's chest in embarrassment, her slightly lowered eyes filled with coldness.
at the same time.
Weiyang Palace.
When Concubine Li received the emperor's reply, she angrily smashed everything in the palace again. However, as she fell out of favor, the things sent by the Imperial Household Department were no longer as good as before.
There were even fewer things, and soon Concubine Li could only stand in the empty palace and feel angry.
Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty treat her like this?
It’s not like she hadn’t used this method before, but His Majesty would always come to see her…
"Your Majesty really didn't come?" Concubine Li asked the palace maid.
The maid knelt on the ground and trembled. She whispered, "Your Majesty, the lights in Yanxi Palace have been turned off."
In other words, the Emperor and Concubine Shu had gone to bed.
"Your Majesty, how could you do this to me?" Concubine Li immediately screamed out loud. She was very uneasy and her eyes and expression looked slightly crazy.
"Impossible! His Majesty can't do this to me! His Majesty has me in his heart. His Majesty said that I am the most important. How could His Majesty do this... How could he do this..."
Princess Li was obviously very upset. The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt and she wanted to cry.
"In the beginning, I was willing to do anything for His Majesty! His Majesty said he would never let me down..."
Although His Majesty had other concubines in the past, she was the one that His Majesty loved and cared about the most!
Even when the Li family and Xiao Hong were punished, His Majesty had sent people to spread rumors to appease her.
If it weren't for her, why would His Majesty be in such a difficult situation?
But now... Your Majesty has really changed.
It’s all because of Concubine Shu, that damn bitch!
Concubine Li went crazy, and no one in the entire Weiyang Palace dared to approach her. Everyone waited silently outside the palace, and could only vaguely hear some indistinct sounds.
The fireplace in the palace was burning with intoxicating incense, which was Concubine Li's favorite smell.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She stood up and walked out on the spot.
She is going to find His Majesty!
She didn't believe that His Majesty would think that Concubine Shu was more important than her, unless His Majesty told her in person...
Concubine Li left Weiyang Palace and went straight to Yanxi Palace. She was walking on the palace road late at night without even wearing shoes or socks.
After running for a distance barefoot, Concubine Li suddenly slowed down.
The summer night breeze made her originally groggy and emotionally overwhelmed mind become much clearer.
What is she going to do now?
Your Majesty has been seduced by the bitch Shufei. If she makes trouble now, it will only backfire!
No matter what she does, it's better to go over and make trouble...
Concubine Li paused, turned around and put on the shoes and socks brought by the palace maids, and said with a cold face: "Let someone thoroughly investigate Weiyang Palace!"
She suspected that someone had tampered with her emotions because they were suddenly out of control!
Thinking of this, Concubine Li couldn't sleep.
These people were so bold that they actually reached their hands into her Weiyang Palace... It must be Concubine Shu! She didn't want to do anything else except that little bitch!
Concubine Li's confidant personally investigated the matter thoroughly, and soon, Concubine Li learned the result.
“Your Highness, someone has added something to the incense in Weiyang Palace that can amplify people’s emotions. The greater the emotional fluctuations, the greater the stimulation from the incense…”
The palace maid lowered her head and dared not look at Concubine Li.
However, Concubine Li understood that the reason why she was acting so abnormally today and did such an embarrassing thing... was all because of this incense!
Princess Li looked extremely ugly.
The maid whispered, "My queen, should we inform His Majesty about this? If His Majesty knew, he would definitely feel sorry for you and come here in person..."
"No need." Concubine Li refused with a cold face, "Your Majesty has been seduced by that little bitch Concubine Shu. Even if I go to complain now, I'm afraid His Majesty will not trust me."
She tried to calm down and said, "Since Concubine Shu has done this to me, I naturally cannot pretend not to know."
"Return everything in here to Concubine Shu..." Concubine Li's eyes flashed with coldness, "Also, do one more thing..."
Concubine Shu whispered in the maid's ear. The maid listened with a changing expression, and finally she could only respond with "yes".
Only then did Princess Li smile.
She is now waiting for Concubine Shu to make a fool of herself in front of His Majesty!
…
The next day, early in the morning.
Xie Yao stayed up a little late to guard Xiao Ji last night, so it was inevitable that she got up a little later than usual.
She was woken up by Zhu Qing before she even woke up.
"Crown Princess, something bad has happened!"
"Something happened to the Third Prince!"
Xie Yao was originally very sleepy, but after hearing Zhu Qing's words, she immediately perked up and opened her eyes, "What happened?"
Zhu Qing said: "Last night... the Third Prince did not return to the mansion. The people in the Third Prince's mansion thought he was living in the other courtyard. This morning... the Third Prince was found in the downtown area. And..."
Zhu Qing's eyes flickered, and he looked troubled. He lowered his voice and said, "The third prince... was abolished."
What?
Xie Yao was a little confused. What did it mean to be useless?
Seeing this, Zhu Qing said more directly, "The Third Prince is just like Song Wenbo. He will never be humane again."
"When he was found in the downtown area, he was completely naked. I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows about this..."
Xie Yao: “…”
What a big excitement!
The person who did this is really... cruel.
"I just received news that His Majesty is furious and has ordered the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Junior Official of the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter and find the perpetrator within three days!"
"Right now, I'm afraid all the doctors in the capital are in the Third Prince's Mansion..."
As soon as Zhu Qing finished speaking, the voice of the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion came from outside the door, "Crown Princess, people from the Third Prince's Mansion are here."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows. Come at this time?
But she quickly guessed the purpose of the people from the Third Prince's Mansion, "Please invite them in."
Soon, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion hurried in and knelt down in front of Xie Yao without saying a word, "Please save me, Crown Princess!"
"Crown Princess, my prince has been attacked by thieves and his life is in danger. The doctor in the prince's mansion is very skilled. I dare to borrow the doctor from you to save his life!"
The steward kowtowed repeatedly, "Please have mercy, Crown Princess, please have mercy!"
As expected, he came to borrow the palace doctor.
Xie Yao looked at the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion with a sullen face, "Do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in a coma?"
The steward of the Third Prince's Mansion had a slightly stiff expression.
Of course he knew about this matter, and not only him, but everyone in the capital knew about it. But... right now, the matter of the Third Prince was more important.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a coma for several days. If he could be saved, he would have been saved long ago. Besides, even if... there is nothing wrong with it.
But of course I can't say that.
The steward didn't say much, and kowtowed immediately, "Please, Crown Princess, save my prince's life, please, Crown Princess, save his life! Please, Crown Princess..."
He begged so pitifully that if someone who didn't know the situation saw it, it would seem like Xie Yao was taking advantage of his power to bully others.
Xie Yao did not give in, and only said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in a coma, I'm afraid he can't leave the palace doctor."
The steward seemed not to understand what Xie Yao said. He continued to kowtow and beg for mercy, insisting on borrowing the palace doctor from the Prince's Mansion.
At this moment, the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion came in again with a difficult expression on his face, "Crown Princess...someone is coming from the palace."
However, Taifu Xuan entered the palace early in the morning and pleaded with His Majesty.
The young eunuch who came from the palace at this moment was ordered to convey the emperor's order, ordering the court physician of the Crown Prince's Mansion to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to consult with the Third Prince.
Upon hearing His Majesty's order, Xie Yao could only have red eyes and an unwilling look on her face as she asked someone to call out the court physician, send the physician out, and order the Prince's guards to follow and protect her.
As soon as the group left, the reluctance on Xie Yao's face disappeared instantly, and her expression became cold and indifferent.
The Third Prince, Grand Tutor Xuan, and even... Your Majesty.
Even when he knew that His Highness was unconscious and needed the care of the court physician, he still resolutely ordered the court physician to go away.
He has such a murderous heart!
Xie Yao asked Zhu Qing in a deep voice, "Can Xiao An's life force be reconnected?"
Zhu Qing shook his head, "I'm afraid not."
Xie Yao sneered, "He's useless!" She wanted to see how long Xiao An could remain so rampant.
"Have you found out who did it?" Xie Yao asked, but she had a basic guess in her mind, and now she was asking more about evidence.
Zhu Qing shook his head. "The person who did it was very secretive. I haven't received any news yet."
Xie Yao said: "I'm afraid His Majesty will doubt us..."
Xie Yao didn't think that such suspicion was a mean-spirited one; it was a completely reasonable guess.
After all, what happened to Xiao Ning just now.
Zhu Qing became anxious when he heard this, "Crown Princess, what should we do?"
Xie Yao shook her head. "It's just a guess. Without evidence, I won't do anything for now."
After all, the prince was still in a coma, and something had just happened to two children.
Xie Yao comforted Zhu Qing, but her tightly furrowed brows did not relax. After all, there was nothing she could do except analyze and guess.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord.
Rights...what a good thing!
…
Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The incident involving the third prince Xiao An had caused a huge uproar, and the emperor naturally knew it clearly. It was naturally the emperor's order to let the palace physician of the prince's mansion treat Xiao An.
At this moment, he was sitting on the dragon throne, his frowned brows full of worry.
"How's the situation at the Third Prince's Mansion?" The emperor's voice was full of fatigue. He was really tired.
Li Dajian glanced at the emperor carefully and whispered, "Your Majesty, the situation with the Third Prince...is not good."
Although the Third Prince's Mansion did not make the matter public, such a matter could certainly not be hidden from Li Dajian.
"The Third Prince's... has been completely severed, and there is no way to reconnect it..." Li Dajian's words were hesitant, "In order to save His Highness's life, the imperial doctors have tried their best."
"Cough, cough, cough!" The emperor started coughing on the spot, his cheeks turning red.
Li Dajian quickly served tea and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
The emperor waved his hands repeatedly, with an unpleasant expression on his face, "Tell the imperial physician to do his best to save the third son's life."
Li Dajian responded and immediately turned around to explain the matter.
Soon, Li Dajian came back again, "Your Majesty, I have already passed the order down, please be at ease."
The emperor shook his head, "The third brother...can't do it anymore."
His attitude has always been very clear. He used to be optimistic about the third prince becoming the next crown prince, and even paved the way for Xiao An, and wanted to win over Pei Chen for him.
But now...
Xiao An has completely lost the qualifications to compete for the throne.
The emperor cannot be a "eunuch".
When the emperor said this, Li Dajian naturally did not dare to express his opinion, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
This matter concerns the country's foundation, and it is not something he can comment on.
The emperor's expression kept changing, and he was obviously analyzing the others...
Xiao Hong is now a commoner, the fourth prince is poisoned by fire and always loses his mind in the middle of every month, and the fifth prince is only four years old this year...
"Who else?" the emperor sighed, his voice full of melancholy and frustration.
Li Dajian immediately said, "Long live your Majesty. I dare to say that it is too early for your Majesty to worry."
"Oh."
The emperor chuckled and glanced at Li Dajian, "You are really good at making me happy."
Li Dajian immediately said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I sincerely mean every word I say!"
The emperor said nothing more, just shook his head slightly.
Long live forever?
Is there anyone in this world who can live forever?
He knew the condition of his own body clearly. Although his elder sister had protected him since he was young, he still suffered a lot and was the victim of many plots.
In recent years...his health has been getting worse.
If not for this, he would not have hurriedly set his sights on Xiao An. He paused and said, "Xiao Wu has started learning this year, right?"
"Your Majesty, that's right." Li Dajian replied quickly, "The Fifth Prince should be studying in the Imperial Study Room right now."
The emperor stood up and said, "I'll go and take a look."
Li Dajian immediately followed with a respectful attitude.
Imperial study.
The emperor was standing outside the hall and saw the little kid sitting inside at a glance. The Fifth Prince was raised by Concubine Shu and was plump and white, with a lot of milk in his mouth.
But the sitting posture at this moment is particularly serious.
A pair of big, twinkling eyes stared at the teacher sitting above him, and the expression on his little face was serious and focused.
The emperor couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly when he saw the fifth prince's performance.
Soon, the fifth prince finished his get out of class. He walked out of the hall, and when he saw the emperor, he immediately smiled and ran towards him quickly.
Then he stood still before throwing himself into the emperor's arms, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
