Jiang Li's brain was working rapidly.
Based on her memory of the original book, Jiang Li knew that the prince was poisoned to death, and not long after the prince's death, the emperor had health problems and gave the throne to the third prince.
Although the prince's murder was brought forward, if he really fell into the trap, the ending would obviously still be the same as in the original book.
So, why did this change occur?
There is only one reason, that is, Qin Ji and the third prince can't wait any longer.
Why can't you wait any longer?
Based on her understanding of Qin Ji in the original book, he was not an impatient person. If he suddenly advanced the time, something must have happened.
Jiang Li pressed his eyebrows.
Thinking about it this way, her failure to attend the palace banquet today was not an accident, but man-made.
Someone deliberately attacked the Thirteenth Prince.
Because they knew that she had saved the lives of Concubine Shan and Prince Thirteen. If the life of the Thirteenth Prince was in danger, the first person Concubine Shan would think of would definitely be her.
The person who could poison the Thirteenth Prince in the harem and was targeting her... could only be Concubine Yue or Concubine Chen.
Who ordered that?
The Third Prince? Qin Chuan? Or was it Qin Ji's own plan?
Also, that poison is not something that ordinary people can make. How could the person Jiang Li thought of be in cahoots with them?
After thinking about a series of questions, Jiang Li felt a little overwhelmed.
But no matter what, this is a good opportunity to completely expose the true colors of Qin Ji and the Third Prince.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
When Jiang Li finished describing the symptoms of the Thirteenth Prince and the Crown Prince, the Emperor's face turned completely dark.
No wonder Jiang Li couldn’t get here in time. Xiao Shisan was actually poisoned.
And the prince was also poisoned!
If it weren't for Jiang Li, he would have really thought that the prince was unwell and had an accident!
What? Did their royal family stumble into a den of poison?
It's New Year's Day, and they're trying to wipe out his offspring!
"Come here!" the emperor shouted angrily, and the commander of the imperial guards hurried forward.
"Pass on my order to seal off the palace immediately. Once the person who poisoned you is apprehended, everyone will be allowed to leave!"
Anyone who could set up such a big scheme, whether it was the murderer or the accomplice, must have come to attend the palace banquet.
"Your Majesty, you cannot."
Upon hearing this, the Queen quickly advised, "All the ministers have been poisoned today and are now extremely weak. If you don't return home to recuperate in time, I'm worried that it will harm the foundation of the country. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Yes, Father, what Mother said is absolutely true." The Crown Prince stood up, supporting himself on the table before him, and bowed to the Emperor. "You must not let all the ministers and their families wait in this hall on this freezing day for your sake. I am also worried that if the murderer is not caught, you gentlemen will be exhausted."
Looking up, he saw that the prince was obviously in much better spirits, but the color on his face had not yet returned.
The emperor sighed and thought to himself that the prince he had chosen was worthy of being the crown prince, as he cared about the people and was a benevolent monarch.
"But Your Majesty, if we let everyone leave now, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger go back into the mountains? If the murderer is really in this hall, then..."
"Don't worry, Commander," said the Crown Prince. "The list of names of those attending the palace banquet is kept by the Ministry of Rites. The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Once the person who poisoned us is found, we can arrest him directly."
"But..." The commander was about to say something, but Jiang Li added, "The Crown Prince is right. If the commander is worried that the murderer will destroy the evidence after leaving, he can rest assured. If he wanted to destroy the evidence, he would have done so long ago. The person who poisoned them is not a fool. He would have thought that the emperor might keep everyone in the palace."
After hearing this, the commander-in-chief looked at the emperor.
The emperor looked at the weak and swaying figures of the people in the hall below. After a long pause, he finally said, "Forget it. Let everyone return home to recuperate. However, I order you, the Imperial Guards, to assist the Dali Temple and solve the case as quickly as possible. I want to see the results within three days!"
"yes!"
After the ministers took their leave one by one, the concubines also left. Even Concubine Yue, who had been lying on the ground, was helped away by the palace maids.
As for the third prince, he simply waved his sleeves and left.
He never thought that the prince was so lucky. It just happened that those imperial doctors were trained by Jiang Li for a few days, and their medical skills improved so much.
Fortunately, he had someone destroy the poisoned wine jug, so it could not be traced back to him anyway.
So, we can only wait for the next opportunity.
Thinking about how that idiot Qin Ji had actually betrayed such a big person and was thrown into jail, Gu Yanheng felt his head hurt even more.
If he hadn't thought that he knew the leader of the Wuxiang Sect and that he could help him get a lot of things he wanted, he would have kicked the man away long ago. What a shameful idiot.
Forget it, since they are all in the same boat, he can only wait until his father calms down before finding a way to get the man out of jail.
When Qin Yu arranged for the imperial doctors to go to the harem to examine and treat the concubines again, only the emperor and Jiang Li were left in the hall.
The emperor looked at Jiang Li and asked, "What do you think of what happened today, Princess Jingling?"
Jiang Li looked at the emperor. His eyes, which had always been wise and kind, became very tired, and the anger deep in his eyes had never disappeared.
"In reply to the emperor's words, in my opinion, what happened today was not a coincidence."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't speak for a long time, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Say whatever you think, I don't blame you."
Jiang Li then said, "I think someone doesn't want me to save the prince."
After saying this, he looked up at the emperor's expression, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think would have happened to the Crown Prince today if I hadn't trained the imperial physician first? And if something really happened to the Crown Prince, who would be the biggest beneficiary?"
The eunuch finished dealing with the matters outside the palace and came back when he heard these words. He almost fell to his knees.
Princess Jingling is so bold.
It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He has served the emperor for so many years and has never seen anyone so honest. The emperor asked her to speak, and she meant it.
Not to mention the eunuch was shocked, even the emperor stared at Jiang Li when he heard this, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Apart from Prince Jingling, it seems that the only one who dared to speak like this in front of him was Jiang Li.
The two of them are worthy of being husband and wife.
"You mean to suspect the Third Prince?"
"Your Majesty, you were the first to say that." Jiang Li responded, "Please forgive my ignorance. The only person I can think of right now is the Third Prince."
"Haha, it's a good thing you were the one who spoke up today. If someone else had dared to say that, I would have thought that person was seeking revenge and was trying to frame the Third Brother."
The emperor fiddled with the ring on his hand and looked at Jiang Li with a smile.
