Chapter 566 The Cause of Min Yuexi's Death
She admitted that when she was first reborn, she really didn't want to care about Min Yuexi, and even had the terrifying thought of wanting to kill her directly.
However, with Min Yuexi's rebirth and change, with the years of interaction between the grandmother and granddaughter, and with the passage of time, she has once again accepted Min Yuexi as her granddaughter!
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood!
Over the years, Min Yuexi has flattered her, supported and protected her, and even stood up against Min Rong for her sake...
She saw it all, little by little.
So, although she didn't explicitly say that she had forgiven Min Yuexi, she had actually let go of the past life's events and forgiven her in her heart.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Min Yuexi a generous dowry when she got married.
He also wouldn't have gone to Min Yuexi's home to support her after learning that she had been imprisoned by Prince Qi upon returning to the capital.
They certainly wouldn't record her in the Qiao family genealogy when the Qiao family was established.
"Yes, the person died seven days ago."
Wei Jia cried and said, "I don't know if the old lady can hear the outside world when she is in a coma. I'm also afraid that if the old lady finds out that Princess Qi is in trouble, she might get so anxious that she might not wake up at all."
"Therefore, I have ordered that no one is allowed to mention the death of Princess Qi in front of you."
At this point, Wei Jia was suddenly startled, "Mother, you suddenly woke up, could it be because you heard about Princess Qi's affair?"
Qiao Qinghe wiped away her tears and nodded.
"I heard Ah Shuang say in my ear that Princess Qi had passed away, and for some reason I suddenly woke up."
Wei Jia said, laughing and crying at the same time, "So that's how it is."
After thinking about it, Wei Jia immediately felt relieved.
Today is the seventh day after the death of Princess Qi. She went to the Qi Prince's residence with her entourage, but returned feeling extremely aggrieved.
Ah Shuang, who had gone with her, argued with Consort Liu's maid for her sake and was slapped in the face by Liu's family in public.
These are all minor matters. The most important thing is that the Prince's residence is becoming increasingly perfunctory in handling the memorial services for Princess Qi. It's obvious that Consort Liu is doing this intentionally, and Prince Qi seems to have disappeared without a trace.
While feeling wronged for her, Ah Shuang also felt sorry for the hasty funeral arrangements for Princess Qi. Then she thought about the real cause of Princess Qi's death, and the young prince whose future was uncertain after falling into the hands of Consort Liu...
After returning, he couldn't help but lie down by Qiao Qinghe's bedside and cry about his grievances.
It was thanks to her crying that Qiao Qinghe was able to wake up.
In truth, it was all by accident.
The two sat facing each other, cried silently for a while, then stopped crying, composed themselves, and got down to business.
They both knew that crying now would not help. The right thing to do was to pull themselves together and plan for the future.
"Tell me, how exactly did Princess Qi die?"
Qiao Qinghe said with a cold look in her eyes, "I went to see her in person before. Her pregnancy was going well, and she didn't seem like she would have a difficult childbirth at all."
"Besides, even if it's a difficult childbirth, with doctors and imperial physicians, how could someone die so easily?"
"Besides, isn't there Doctor Mu here?"
"She was able to protect even you and your daughter in this situation, so how could she not protect Princess Qi?"
Wei Jia sighed and said in a cold tone, "Princess Qi did not have a difficult childbirth at all, so how could it have anything to do with the doctor?"
"It was clearly Consort Liu who deliberately plotted to kill him! Prince Qi knew what Consort Liu had done, yet he turned a blind eye and deliberately condoned it!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qinghe flew into a rage and slammed her fist on the bed.
"Outrageous! How dare they do this? Do they think I'm dead?"
After saying that, she immediately lost her nerve.
If someone is in a coma for a month and doesn't wake up, wouldn't people just assume they're dead?
Thinking of this, Qiao Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Wei Jia also sighed and blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault! When my mother was unconscious for two days, I asked Doctor Mu to take her pulse. He said that my mother was healthy and had no illness. She had just fallen asleep."
"Because of past events, I had some doubts about her, so I brought back a few more doctors from outside."
"It was my excessive suspicion and lack of careful consideration that led to the leak of the news that my mother was in a coma."
"After that, the Prince Qi's mansion sent imperial physicians to the mansion three times to check on my mother's condition."
"Once was when the news had just been sent out, and once was when my mother had been in a coma for about half a month."
"And another time, it was ten days ago. That is, two days before Princess Qi's due date."
"It seems that was the final confirmation made by the Prince Qi's mansion regarding whether Mother could wake up."
"It's also my fault for being careless and failing to detect the treacherous intentions of the Prince Qi's mansion, which led to the Princess Qi being isolated and helpless, and ultimately losing her life!"
At this point, Wei Jia calmed herself down before continuing, "After learning of Princess Qi's death, I personally took Doctor Mu to the Qi Prince's residence, hoping that Doctor Mu could help investigate the true cause of Princess Qi's death."
"Heh, if there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding Princess Qi's death, it would be a miracle if they let you examine her."
Before Wei Jia could finish speaking, Qiao Qinghe couldn't help but snort and state the result.
Wei Jia nodded silently, "Mother is right. At that time, the Qi Prince's mansion was already under the control of Consort Liu, and no one was allowed to get close to the remains of the Qi Princess. Even I only stood a few steps away and took a look from afar."
"But at that time, Princess Qi had already been dressed in full ceremonial attire according to the regulations for princesses and was buried, so there was no sign of any problem."
"After we got back, A-Shuang suggested to me that since Zhu Xi was skilled in martial arts and good at hiding her whereabouts, we should let Zhu Xi sneak into the Qi Prince's mansion in the middle of the night to carefully examine the body of the Qi Princess."
"Tell Doctor Mu the details when you get back, and let Doctor Mu determine the true cause of Princess Qi's death."
Qiao Qinghe nodded: "That's not a bad idea."
"And what was the result?"
Wei Jia smiled bitterly, "It turns out that Princess Qi was indeed killed by them! It must have been the midwife who tampered with the process, deliberately causing Princess Qi to bleed to death during childbirth."
"Ordinary people might not see anything wrong, but based on the clues Zhuxi brought back, Doctor Mu immediately determined the true cause of Princess Qi's death."
Qiao Qinghe took a deep breath, suppressing the raging anger surging within her, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Besides Doctor Mu, can anyone else see the problem?"
"What I mean is, if we hire a coroner to examine the body, is it possible to find out the true cause of Princess Qi's death?"
Wei Jia nodded: "Of course."
"It was because the midwife's methods were not very skillful that Consort Liu forbade any outsiders from approaching the body of Princess Qi."
Qiao Qinghe understood what was going on; the next step was to figure out what to do.
She thought about it carefully for a moment before saying, "There are three things we need to do right now."
Wei Jia listened respectfully, "Mother, please speak."
Qiao Qinghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "First of all, we can't let Princess Qi die in vain! Prince Qi can't be touched for the time being, but Consort Liu must pay the price!"
"Secondly, the funeral arrangements for Princess Qi must be handled with great fanfare! I cannot allow her to die a miserable death and be looked down upon even in death!"
"The third item..."
Qiao Qinghe paused for a moment, then said, "I want to bring Yuexi's child back and raise him myself."
Otherwise, in a place like the Prince's Palace, with a father like Prince Qi who only cares about personal gain, the child would probably only have a short life!
Wei Jia was taken aback. The first two things were easy to handle, but this third thing was probably a bit difficult.
That child was, after all, of royal blood, and the first child of the Prince Qi's household...
