Chapter 213 The Third Prince Lost His Voice

The night at the end of May was already somewhat hot, and the lights in Yanqing Palace were bright. Since the Third Prince woke up, he could not speak.

The imperial doctors took turns to treat him, but they could not find the reason.

De Fei shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible, this is impossible, imperial doctor... imperial doctor, didn't you say that the poison has been resolved? Why is it like this? Why can't the Third Prince speak?"

The imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital all knelt on the ground: "This... Your Majesty, Your Majesty De Fei... The poison in the Third Prince's body has indeed been completely resolved. I... I don't know why the Third Prince lost his voice!" The

Third Prince, who was sitting in a corner of the bed, had no blood on his face, as pale as a piece of white paper, his eyes were dull, and he hugged his knees and cried silently.

No matter what Emperor Xuanwu said to him, he did not respond.

Defei immediately cried in the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty, I have never done anything bad in my life. Why did those people treat Xuan'er like this? If they want to take revenge, they should come after me! They want to kill me or make me mute, I am willing to bear it. Why should Xuan'er bear all this?"

The emperor's eyes were full of pain, his throat was blocked, and he hugged Defei. 's hand tightened slightly: "Send the Queen's Golden Book to Concubine Yu tomorrow and release her from house arrest. Your first priority now, Concubine De, is to take good care of the Third Prince. The rest... don't worry about it."

On the surface, he seemed to be distressed for Concubine De, but the color on Concubine De's face disappeared in an instant when he held her in his arms: "Your concubine... Your concubine obeys your order." She

had planned everything, but she still made wedding clothes for Concubine Yu.

At first, she designed Concubine Yu and Jiang Xinyue to confront each other, and Jiang Xinyue defeated Concubine Yu as she wished.

Although Concubine De was aiming for the top spot among the four concubines at the beginning, but in the end Jiang Xinyue got the advantage, but getting the Queen's Golden Book was also a great gain.

Now, not only has she lost all her previous efforts, but everything has returned to the starting point. She offended the Queen and fell out with Concubine Xian. The golden seal went around and returned to Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu was the Queen's lackey. What was the difference between the golden seal falling into her hands and returning to the Queen's hands?

Could the Queen let her go?

The Emperor was now blaming her in his heart for ignoring the Third Prince because of the palace power, which led to his loss of voice.

This situation...

she must break it!

After a heavy rain, it seemed like summer had completely arrived. The sudden change in weather made the palaces unprepared for the midsummer.

Jiang Xinyue was awakened by the heat early in the morning. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xi Que coming over with a basin of ice: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Household Department has only scooped out this little bit of ice for

now. Apart from Chengqian Palace, Cining Palace, Kunning Palace and Empress Defei's Yanqing Palace, we are the only one who has a basin." The reason Empress Defei got the basin was because the Third Prince suddenly lost his voice again last night, and the Emperor loved the Third Prince, so he specially ordered the Imperial Household Department to send the basin to him early in the morning.

Jiang Xinyue got up and washed her face with cold water to feel cooler. She turned to ask Xi Que and Shuang Jiang: "How is the third prince?"

Both of them showed distressed looks in their eyes. Shuang Jiang sighed and said: "Originally, the imperial physician said that the poison had been cleared and the third prince was awake, but... I don't know why, the third prince can't speak after waking up."

This is impossible!

If someone wanted to kill the third prince, he must have been poisoned by an unsolvable poison, and he would not have a chance to wake up, but he woke up last night, which means that the person who poisoned was Concubine De herself. How could she make her son lose his voice?

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone deliberately poisoned the third prince to mute him to cut off his possibility of becoming the crown prince in the future.

Then the suspects are only her and the queen.

After all, if the Third Prince was deposed, the only ones who would benefit would be the concubines who had princes in the harem.

Wouldn't that be just short of pointing fingers at her and the Queen and scolding them as the murderers?

But compared to the Queen poisoning the Third Prince, Jiang Xinyue was more inclined to believe that it was Concubine De who directed and acted out a good show herself.

It's just that she didn't grasp the degree well, which caused the Third Prince to lose his voice.

Concubine De wanted to kill two birds with one stone at first!

The first person she wanted to harm was her, the stepping stone who snatched the position of Concubine Xian. If she failed to get rid of her, the Queen would be the second one.

For Concubine De, making up the lie that the Queen killed the Third Prince in order to make the Fifth Prince be named the Crown Prince was just a small matter.

The most pitiful one is the Third Prince.

The third prince was poisoned, first his life was in danger, he almost died, and then he became mute...

As soon as the news came out, everyone was guessing, who was the real culprit behind the scenes?

Anyway, it couldn't be Concubine De. Concubine De only had this one son, how could she cut off her greatest support?

Everyone felt that Concubine De was pitiful.

"Bang!"

"Ah! Someone is dead!"

The queen had a headache all night, but all the doctors in the palace were invited to Yanqing Palace. The queen, who had a worse headache, was frightened by the sound of porcelain breaking and screaming.

She was very flustered...

After Jiang Xinyue left yesterday, the people from the Suspension Mirror Department came and insisted that Concubine Xian had lost a priceless imperial green jadeite bracelet. The Suspension Mirror Department received a report from the palace people in Hexi Palace and came to investigate.

If she hadn't lost her power in the past, how could those dogs and servants from the Mirror Department dare to search the Yikun Palace?

But before she could get angry, the Mirror Department actually found out that it was the gatekeeper who picked up Concubine Xian's bracelet and deliberately kept it for herself instead of returning it.

The maid insisted that Concubine Xian gave it to her.

After the people from the Hexi Palace refuted her, she wanted to change her words, but was gagged and taken away by the people from the Mirror Department.

As for what the maid wanted to say, "Concubine Xian eavesdropped on the Queen's conversation and wanted to gag me," she never had the chance to say it again.

The people from the Suspended Mirror Division had offended Concubine Xian before, and they were just trying to make amends and curry favor with her. They would not disappoint Concubine Xian when they had the chance to do things for her.

"We are the emperor's people, why should we be afraid of Concubine Xian?"

A guard from the Suspended Mirror Division did not understand and asked.

The director glared at him and said, "I'm not afraid of Concubine Xian, but her pillow talk. You don't understand this little bit of human relations, you deserve to be a little guard after three years."

The palace servants in Yikun Palace were not enough, and they were negligent in everything. This morning, another female corpse who had committed suicide by taking poison was found in the utility room of Yikun Palace.

The corpse's face was swollen and bleeding from being beaten, and it was almost unrecognizable.

But De Fei used to bring the Third Prince to the Yikun Palace to play, and Fen Yun recognized her with a little effort: "Madam, it's Ning Feixiu, the head maid of the Third Prince."

The Queen, who had sensed the conspiracy, was about to order someone to turn over the corpse, when chaotic footsteps were heard at the door.

Led by Lu Yin and the Emperor in De Fei's palace.

"Your Majesty, Feixiu was punished last night and almost fainted, but she insisted on going out to fetch water to wash. I felt something was wrong and followed her all the way to the Yikun Palace... I felt strange and went back to report to the queen. I found a suicide note under Feixiu's pillow... Your Majesty, please make a decision for the third prince!"
