After her face was wiped clean with a hot towel, the Queen took the towel and basin to the outer room before returning to hug Jun Baozhu.
The Queen has sent someone to invite Concubine Li back.
Not sure what happened, Jun Baozhu asked the system.
After the system answered, Jun Baozhu gasped.
[The wet nurse who was feeding me, was bleeding from all seven orifices just now? ]
[Is that blood dripping on my face? ]
As if smelling blood on his body, Jun Baozhu retched.
Suddenly reacted and asked the system:
【Bleeding from all seven orifices?】
[Insect?! ]
[The Great Witch Doctor?! She’s still in the palace?!]
There was quite a stir in Kunning Palace. At first, in order not to harm Consort De and Consort Liang, the Queen asked Consort Duan and Consort De to avoid suspicion and come less often...
Now, the Second Prince was busy running around, and the Eighth Prince had left the palace. Although Concubine Duan and Concubine De did not ask their sons, they had guessed today's secret.
Upon learning that the little princess was almost in danger, they rushed over without paying any attention to the queen's warning.
The emperor, the crown prince, the second prince, and the tenth prince arrived soon.
After Concubine Li came back, she quickly washed and changed her clothes before daring to approach her daughter.
He personally took the patient's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Like the Queen, he finally felt relieved.
"What's going on?"
The emperor immediately asked the question.
Concubine Li did not answer rashly. The Queen explained the situation and Concubine Li went to examine the wet nurse's body in person.
After it was basically confirmed, the body was handed over to the imperial physician who arrived and carried it away for dissection.
While waiting for the autopsy results, Concubine Duan and Concubine Liang learned the truth.
The two were surprised and realized that what their son was involved in was extremely dangerous...
We also know how the Queen tried to take advantage of the tiger in order to protect others during this period.
Upon learning that the fake Empress Dowager had forced the Queen to eat cakes laced with poisonous insect eggs, Concubine Duan and Concubine De were so angry that they trembled!
I also feel guilty for being too obedient.
"Your Highness, you and Concubine Li have been very busy lately. If you don't have time to take care of Baozhu, it's okay, we will do it!
We are temporarily staying in the Goddess' Palace so that you can see us and feel at ease.
As for the wet nurse..."
The Queen has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation into who these two wet nurses have had contact with recently.
The wet nurse was arranged by the Queen before Jun Baozhu was born and she lived in the palace all the time.
But later, the emperor granted permission for Concubine Li to feed the baby herself, and the two wet nurses were no longer needed.
The Queen was worried about Concubine Li and whether she might have insufficient milk, so she did not release the two wet nurses from the palace for the time being.
A few days ago, the palace was thoroughly checked to see if there was any risk of being implanted with Gu worm eggs...
Neither of the two wet nurses was among them.
This means that after the examination, someone must have come into contact with the wet nurse and made the two of them drink something that contained worm eggs before the outbreak occurred today!
When the coroner was examining the wet nurse who had collapsed while feeding the little princess, another wet nurse was also found in the dormitory, dead with blood coming out of all her orifices.
After a careful examination, the coroner found cavities and dead poisonous insects in the internal organs of the two wet nurses.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Tenth Prince have kept their eyes on Jun Baozhu since they entered the room.
Although I learned that she was not seriously injured, I was still worried.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince suggested to the Emperor that a thorough check be conducted on the list of people who entered the palace today, as well as the list of people who had direct or indirect contact with the wet nurse.
After the emperor gave his approval, the crown prince and the second prince looked at Jun Baozhu reluctantly and strode away.
The tenth prince stood aside with eager eyes, wanting to hug his sister, but when he saw Concubine Li holding her worriedly, he couldn't bear to snatch her away.
As if realizing that the strength of her mother's embrace on her was tighter than usual, Jun Baozhu comforted her mother in her heart:
[Mother, I'm fine, don't worry! ]
【I'm fine! 】
[My mother is so powerful, I am not afraid at all! ]
Hearing her daughter say this, Concubine Li suddenly felt a lump in her throat, but she held it back and didn't let anyone notice.
Concubine Duan and Concubine De came forward and comforted her.
Concubine Duan took Jun Baozhu, Concubine Liang gently helped Concubine Li sit down, and Concubine Duan smiled and explained:
"It's not that we two want to snatch the orb from you, but I heard that you were busy developing a method to control the poisonous insects today...
He has been sleepless and looks very bad when he walks in.
Many of us still have to rely on you, and Baozhu still has to rely on you!
Baozhu, we will hold it for you first, and you can see it, so you don’t have to worry.”
Concubine Duan nodded to the Queen, and Concubine De sat down next to Concubine Li for easier care.
Jun Baozhu heard this and said gratefully in her heart:
[Thank you, Concubine Duan, Concubine De, thank you, mother, and father, and brother Prince Ten...]
[And Brother Crown Prince, Brother Second Prince, you care about me and my mother...]
【Everyone is so nice to us! 】
Concubine Duan and Concubine De looked at Jun Baozhu with more and more love and heartache.
"Okay, let's talk about the rest later. Let's discuss first, why did the other people do this?
If the purpose was to control the wet nurse, shouldn't they have killed and set fire first, and then killed and silenced the witnesses?"
The queen said solemnly, “At that time, I was only two steps away, and Baozhu was in the arms of her wet nurse.
If she wants to attack us, I may not be able to escape..."
The Queen's meaning was clear. No matter whether the wet nurse targeted the Queen or Jun Baozhu first, the Queen would definitely rescue Jun Baozhu first and might not take care of herself.
"But she didn't even make any attacking moves and died instantly!"
