Chapter 443: Crime of Deceiving
the Emperor Not far from the bed, behind the emperor, the women who had just warned Fenyun were kneeling trembling.
The doctor in the imperial mausoleum was also called over and said respectfully: "Miss Fenyun has a high fever caused by the cold air entering her body and not receiving timely treatment. I will prescribe two prescriptions. You will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine according to the prescriptions. Be careful not to catch a cold again."
The reason why the imperial mausoleum was built in Dongshan is because it is extremely yin and cold all year round, which is conducive to better protecting the bodies of the emperors of Dayan from decay.
It can also be said that it makes their bodies decay ten or twenty years slower than ordinary people.
The bedding in Fenyun's room was thin. You didn't need to touch it to know that it was not the best quilt. It looked damp and heavy, but it didn't keep warm.
The Fifth Prince's bed was behind the small screen behind Fenyun's bed. The emperor had seen it and it was better than Fenyun's, but only slightly better.
The women kneeling on the ground saw that something was wrong and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare us. We are just following your orders. Even if you give us a hundred courages, we would not dare to abuse the Fifth Prince!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, we have no choice. The Queen Mother is all-powerful. How dare we resist? It was she who did not allow the Fifth Prince to return to Beijing alive. We are just following her orders."
"Nonsense!"
Before the emperor could finish his angry rebuke, Fenyun had already said, "The Queen Mother of Heaven is kindhearted. When the Fifth Prince and I first entered the Imperial Mausoleum, she sent people to look after us. It was you who killed or injured them. You dare to pretend to be the Queen Mother of Heaven's people. Do you think I will believe you?"
When she brought the Fifth Prince to the Imperial Mausoleum, there were guards and maids around. They knew that those people were sent by the Queen Mother of Heaven and did not dare to bully the Fifth Prince.
But after living here for a long time and nothing happened, those who came to look after the Fifth Prince were praised for a long time and forgot their identities and their missions, and they were not so concerned about the Fifth Prince.
That's all. After all, as long as these people are still in the imperial mausoleum, no one dares to bully the fifth prince blatantly.
The bad thing is that after the people in the imperial mausoleum paralyzed those people, they poisoned or framed them, killing or injuring them, and in the end no one was left.
From then on, these people hurt her and the fifth prince wantonly.
Fenyun knew very well in her heart that someone wanted to deal with the Queen Mother.
Because she didn't know who was the Queen Mother's enemy, she was wary of everyone here.
The fifth prince was hit on the head that day, and he wanted to tell the fifth prince the truth, but the fifth prince's injury had not healed yet, and she fell ill again, so she delayed it.
Seeing her firm attitude, the women were frightened.
For so long, they thought Fenyun had believed them. After all, every time they said they were the Queen Mother's people, Fenyun never refuted.
Little did they know that Fenyun was smart.
She knew that once she expressed strong disbelief, those people would only become more radical and might directly kill her and the Fifth Prince, and then put the blame on the Queen Mother.
She chose to remain silent, just waiting for the day when the Emperor would come to Dongshan in person.
She taught the Fifth Prince herself, and she believed that the Fifth Prince also knew what to do.
"Hmph!"
The child snorted coldly: "You deliberately said those words outside my door, just to make me hate the Queen Mother and the prince brother, hoping that I will seek revenge on them after returning to the palace. Do you think I don't know? I won't be fooled!"
His father told him that his mother was killed by someone else, and the person who killed his mother has been executed. Before his mother died, she handed him over to the care of the Queen Mother.
The reason why he came to the imperial mausoleum was not the Queen Mother's idea. It was Aunt Fenyun who was afraid of being used in the palace and asked to come to guard the spirit. Moreover, the Queen Mother
also said that when he grows up to seven or eight years old and is more sensible, she hopes that Aunt Fenyun will take him back to the palace.
He believes his father, because there is no need for his father to lie. This kind of thing, as long as he asks Aunt Fenyun, he will know everything.
Even if his father lied to him, Aunt Fenyun would never lie to him.
The women looked at each other, obviously running out of words.
When their espionage plan succeeded, every word they said would be effective.
Now their plans have failed, and they have all been deceived by Fenyun.
Then if they want to drag the Queen Mother into the water, they will be jumping around.
The emperor pursed his lips tightly, with an unhappy expression on his face.
Seeing this, Tang Shiliang stepped forward: "You dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor and confuse right and wrong. You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor, do you know?"
The eyes of the women became determined, and the emperor said: "Not good. Stop it quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, the women had vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Tang Shiliang quickly pinched open the lips and teeth of one of them, and found a very small empty leather bag in her teeth. The leather bag was made of something unknown, and it was transparent, with a small hole bitten out.
Looking at the few people on the ground who were no longer breathing, Tang Shiliang raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is poison hidden in the teeth."
These were not ordinary people who were bribed or arranged to bully the fifth prince. These people were assassins.
What kind of people actually sent assassins to frame the Queen Mother?
The emperor frowned: "Wang Dequan, go and ask what happened in the palace?"
If he went there for Yue'er, it would definitely not be so simple. There might be some traps waiting for her in the capital.
Those people took advantage of his absence from the palace, and who knows what conspiracies they would play to plot against Yue'er.
The ancestral worship at the imperial mausoleum was all over, and he had to hurry back to the capital.
As for Fenyun, the emperor had already left someone to take care of them.
The fifth prince hugged the emperor's thigh: "Father, when you are free, can you come and see your son?"
Tears flashed in his eyes, and he did not dare to make excessive requests, fearing that his father would not like him.
Fenyun took his little hand and made him stand up: "Fifth Prince, didn't I say? After you are eight years old, I will take you back to the palace."
In the past, he brought the fifth prince to the imperial mausoleum because he felt that the palace was not peaceful. Now the Queen Mother has just given birth to a dragon and phoenix twin, and there is someone who is watching covetously in the dark. The palace is full of dangers, and she doesn't want to take the fifth prince back immediately.
His mind is more mature than his peers, which may be a natural gene of their Shen family.
However, no matter how mature he is, he is only three years old. She doesn't want the fifth prince to be in trouble.
