Chapter 636 Zhen Shicheng Enters the Palace



Just listen to what Jiang Si says and you can hear a lot of unusual things.

The carriage of the palace was not broken, so how could it be broken? That was fine, but the other carriage also encountered a frightened horse, and the Princess of Qi and the Princess of Yan were unable to move at the time and had no power to escape...

Emperor Jingming felt a headache after hearing this and asked the empress, "How is the fourth son's wife?"

The queen looked serious: "The person is still in a coma——"

"Seriously injured?"

The Queen frowned and said, "I asked the nanny to check, there are only some scratches on the body, but -"

"But what?" Emperor Jingming felt something was wrong.

The Queen sighed: "The wound on Princess Qi's face is quite deep, and she is most likely disfigured..."

Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows.

Being disfigured is undoubtedly a huge matter for a woman, but in the mind of Emperor Jingming, it is obviously not as important as the truth of the matter.

"Then why are you still not waking up?"

The Queen shook her head: "The Imperial Physician hasn't found out yet."

Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Si again and said, "Seventh Wife, what do you think?"

Since the seventh daughter-in-law came to the palace to report the situation to him and the empress, it was obvious that she had some ideas.

"My daughter-in-law thinks the horse fright was not an accident, and it is more likely to be man-made. But these are just my guesses, and the truth still needs to be carefully investigated."

Emperor Jingming nodded heavily: "We must investigate it thoroughly! Pan Hai——"

"The servant is here."

"Pass on my oral order and order Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zhen Shicheng to immediately investigate the matter of the two princesses' frightened horses."

As it concerns the reputation of the royal family, such cases are usually investigated by the factory guards instead of being handed over to the Shuntian prefect. But the situation of this Shuntian prefect is different. After all, even Old Zhen knows that the former crown prince cheated on the emperor, so there is nothing to hide in the mind of Emperor Jingming.

Compared to those factory guards who were better at torture and interrogation, Zhen Shicheng's ability to solve cases was obviously more recognized by Emperor Jingming.

After Emperor Jingming finished giving his instructions, Jiang Si hurriedly said, "Father, Lord Zhen must have already started the investigation."

"Um?"

"After returning to the city, my daughter-in-law ordered her guards to go to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the authorities, and also brought along the driver of Prince Qi's palace."

After hearing what Jiang Si said, the emperor and empress twitched their lips at the same time.

Princess Yan's movements are so agile.

"Pan Hai, send two people to Shuntian Prefecture to take a look."

"yes."

Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Si again, his tone somewhat complicated: "Seventh Old Wife, if you encounter problems in the future--"

I wanted to say don't rush to report to the police, but I changed my mind when the words came to my lips.

"Zhen Shicheng is indeed a reliable person. If you encounter any trouble, just go to him."

Forget it, what else can you do with a son and daughter-in-law who don't follow the rules? Anyway, Old Zhen knows so many things about him, so he doesn't care if there are a few more.

Jiang Si put away the smile in his eyes and knelt before Emperor Jingming: "My daughter-in-law knows."

There was another silence, and Emperor Jingming could not help but ask, "Seventh Wife, do you think the driver did something wrong?"

Jiang Si smiled: "My daughter-in-law dare not make random guesses."

"Just say it." Emperor Jingming said calmly.

Jiang Si was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "There's nothing to guess. My carriage broke down on the way, so my fourth sister-in-law invited me to ride in her carriage. Then the carriage lost control, and both of us were unable to move. We were lucky to survive. When I ordered the guards to take the driver of Prince Qi's mansion to Shuntian Mansion, the driver ran away. It would be strange to say that there was no problem..."

Emperor Jingming's expression became increasingly ugly.

If what the seventh daughter-in-law said was true, the Qi Palace could not be separated from the matter of the frightening horse. But now the Princess of Qi was also in danger, what could be said?

After his third son, Prince Jin, ordered people to push Chun Ge'er into the water and the former crown prince cursed him with a doll, Emperor Jingming did not believe that the Princess of Qi would not do anything to harm the Princess of Yan.

But people who want to harm others can’t get themselves involved, right?

That was why Emperor Jingming secretly convinced himself not to think of the worst and at least wait until Princess Qi woke up.

Not long after, two imperial doctors came out and saluted the emperor and empress.

Emperor Jingming asked the two, "How is the Princess of Qi?"

"Your Majesty, the princess is still in a coma." said one of the imperial doctors.

Emperor Jingming couldn't help but frown: "Didn't you say there were no serious external injuries? Could it be that he suffered internal injuries?"

The two doctors looked at each other, and the one who spoke first said, "After our inspection, the princess's internal organs have not been seriously injured."

"Then why is he unconscious?" Emperor Jingming was even more surprised.

Another imperial physician said, "The princess almost fell off the cliff. We guess that she was frightened..."

Emperor Jingming shook his head slightly.

So, the fourth son’s wife was in a state of unconsciousness because she was frightened?

Jiang Si stood with his eyes lowered and raised the corners of his lips.

Of course, Princess Qi cannot wake up now, lest she tell the truth and ruin her plans.

In Jiang Si's opinion, Princess Qi should just wait until everything has settled before waking up, so that she can know the result.

She never just talks about giving great gifts.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi requests an audience." An eunuch came in to report.

Emperor Jingming signaled the eunuch to bring Prince Qi over.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Jingming saw the panic-stricken Prince Qi.

"Father, Mother, how is Li?"

The Queen said, "The man is still unconscious. Your Highness can go in and take a look."

King Qi walked in hurriedly, looking very anxious.

The emperor and empress looked at each other and said nothing.

When Prince Qi walked into the room and saw Princess Qi lying on the bed, he almost lost his composure.

That scary woman with wounds on her face is Li?

The look of disgust was instantly suppressed by the King of Qi, and replaced with a look of grief: "Princess, wake up!"

Instead of waking up Princess Qi, King Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

He really had no mood to comfort this ugly woman at the moment. He was even more afraid that this woman would say something she shouldn't say in her confusion.

Staring at that terrifying face, a thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the Prince of Qi: It might be better if Li died like this. Even if Zhen Shicheng found out that the carriage was tampered with, all these things could be blamed on Li. After all, many people saw that Li and the Princess of Yan were not on good terms. As for him——

Haha, he had no involvement in this matter from the beginning to the end.

The King of Qi pretended to shout a few times and walked out with a sad look on his face.

"Father, Mother, is Li seriously injured?"

Li must have been seriously injured, otherwise he would not be in a coma until now.

Before the emperor and empress could say anything, Jiang Si said very considerately, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law only had minor scratches on her face and will wake up anytime."

King Qi's eyes narrowed and he looked at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si looked at him calmly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Prince Qi's heart sank as he realized: Princess Yan knew everything!

After the initial shock, King Qi finally came to his senses.

Princess Yan did not see anything strange. If she were just an ordinary woman, her first reaction would not be to order the guards to escort the driver of Prince Qi's mansion to report to the authorities.

Emperor Jingming said, "Fourth Brother, just wait here and see what Zhen Shicheng finds out."

The waiting time seemed shorter than expected, and news came that Zhen Shicheng had come to the palace to ask for an audience.
