Chapter 570 The pain of losing a son.
"Dead..."
The two words echoed in the hall, and the air around them suddenly dropped so low that you could almost hear a pin drop.
The guests had been toasting and chatting, but they were all stunned for a moment after hearing this. In the blink of an eye, they put down their cups. Everyone also stood up.
"Excuse me, everyone," the Fourth Master said, his face gloomy as he clasped his fists, then immediately stood up and strode out the door without even bothering to exchange a few words of greeting.
The Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Masters behind him all looked unhappy and immediately followed to help.
The Crown Prince frowned as he glanced at them, then stood up, clasped his fists before them, and said, "My Lords, I'm truly sorry. An emergency has suddenly occurred at my brother's residence, and I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you today. Yinreng and I will certainly apologize to you someday."
"The prince is in a serious condition."
"Yes, Your Highness, you are too kind. I wonder if Your Highness needs any help here?"
All the gentlemen agreed and expressed their willingness to help. When the prince said that he didn't need it, they all stood up tactfully.
The Crown Prince, along with the Prince of Zhi, the Third Master, the Fifth Master and several other princes, immediately stood up to see him off.
The full moon banquet was supposed to be extremely lively, but in the blink of an eye, it became quiet and almost no one in the mansion left.
I don't know when heavy snow began to fall from the sky, fluttering down, making the entire palace seem even more deserted.
Wenjiu was a little worried about the children, so he immediately sent Dashao back and asked her to stay with them all the time.
Then, together with the Crown Princess and Ulanara, they sent all the women in the mansion away and then walked towards the front hall.
From a distance, one could see the prince and several others standing in the front hall with frowns on their faces.
The Crown Princess walked over and asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"
The prince frowned and shook his head slightly. After a long while, he sighed and pointed inside: "You go and take a look. It would be nice if you could give them some advice."
The Crown Princess was startled, and exchanged a glance with Wen Jiu. Then, the two of them walked towards the room where the Second Prince lived, one in front and one behind. Ulanara also walked in side by side with the two of them.
[Ding~ Emperor is less than 50 centimeters away from his competitor, health points -10, life remaining 1501 days.]
[Ding~ Emperor has physical contact with a competitor, health points -10, remaining life 1491 days.]
As Wen Jiu stepped into the house, he suddenly heard a shrill cry.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! My son is not dead, you lied to me!"
Li held the child in her arms and violently pushed the Fourth Master away. She ran out with lifeless eyes, still muttering, "My son, it's okay. Mother will take you to see the imperial physician right now... The imperial physician will definitely be able to cure you... He will definitely be able to cure you..."
Li happened to see the doctor Liu standing at the door. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes. She immediately grabbed his clothes fiercely, as if she was pulling at the last straw. "Doctor, come quickly. Look, my son was fine yesterday. He was calling me mother yesterday. He must be fine, right? Save him quickly! Hurry up!!!"
Her voice became higher and higher, and in the end, her throat was even hoarse from screaming.
Doctor Liu met Li's expectant eyes and turned away reluctantly. Finally, he knelt down with a thud, "Concubine... this, this servant is powerless. This... Second Prince's body is already... already... cold."
The expectation in Li's eyes gradually turned cold. Suddenly, she slapped the doctor Liu's face hard. She pointed at him with a trembling finger, "You dog slave, how dare you lie to me? My son is fine, he's fine!"
As he spoke later, his voice started to tear up.
She kicked Doctor Liu like crazy, and gradually collapsed. She knelt on the ground, hugged the child tightly, and put her face against the child's face: "Son, wake up quickly and call mother again, okay? Just one sentence, tell them that you are fine. You are fine..."
"Ms. Li, the child is no longer breathing. Please take a good look. It will be disgraceful to continue making such a fuss. Your tears should not touch the child's body. Just let the child go peacefully." Ulanara said.
However, Li seemed not to hear anything. She held the child and kept muttering, "You're fine... Mother won't let anything happen to you..."
Ulanara glanced at Li, then looked at the Fourth Master beside her, sighed, and said, "Your Highness, the child is no longer breathing. Sister Li doesn't look very well, and I'm afraid she won't be able to handle the matter. How about leaving this matter to me? I'll have someone deal with it as soon as possible, right?"
The Fourth Master hadn't moved for a long time. He seemed to be brought back to his senses by Ulanara's words. His face was pale as he asked, "...Have you dealt with it?"
"In reply to the prince, the second prince is still young and according to convention, a funeral ceremony cannot be held. Burying him early will be good for both the concubine and the second prince." Nanny Sun stepped forward respectfully and explained.
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Nanny Gui beside him in a daze.
Nanny Gui also stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, I am deeply saddened. However, it is true."
Ulanara also sighed, and with a look of heartache on her face, she walked towards Li, patted her on the back, and said, "Sister Li, don't cry anymore. You are still young, and you will have children in the future..."
He turned around and ordered, "Come here, take the Second Prince away quickly."
"Get out of here!" Li suddenly pushed Ulanara away like a madman, staring at her with poisonous eyes: "Bitch! You killed my son, didn't you? You killed my son!"
Ulanara touched the wound on her neck that had been accidentally scratched by Li's armor, and said with a pale face, "What are you crazy about?"
"Bitch! It must be you! You're jealous of my favor, so why are you coming after me? Why are you attacking my son? Why are you so vicious! Ah!!!"
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Li's eyes as he immediately rushed towards Ulanara.
Fortunately, there were servants beside Ulanara. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately stopped the man.
The maid serving beside her was not paying attention and was scratched on the face by Li, leaving several bloody marks, which actually saved Ulanara from disaster.
Li was stopped and rushed forward several times but failed to catch anyone. However, he accidentally saw the warm wine out of the corner of his eye.
The moment his eyes fell on her face, his gaze seemed to be poisoned, and at the same time, it rushed towards her like warm wine.
"It's you! You bitch killed my son!"
As he spoke, the sharp armor attacked Wenjiu's face directly.
But before he could touch Wenjiu's face, Wenjiu grabbed his arm.
Li was holding the child with her other hand, so she could only use one hand to attack. Now she was restrained by the warm wine and could not struggle free, so she was trapped in place.
Wen Jiu frowned slightly, his gaze swept around the room, and finally landed on the charcoal brazier on the ground. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat: "Doctor Liu, have you found out the cause of Second Prince's death?"
