The master didn't take it to heart, but Liu Bajin, who was by his side, was a shrewd fellow and soon realized something was wrong.
This young lady Gao didn't call the palace physician, nor did she take any medicine, which was understandable the first time. But the next day she was still like this, and since she still didn't call the palace physician, they had to investigate. They found out quickly that the young lady Gao probably suspected she was pregnant and wanted to buy medicine to abort the fetus. Her personal maid couldn't leave the mansion, so she sent a eunuch instead.
Liu Bajin caught him red-handed. Eunuchs are powerless, so what could he do? Under severe torture, he confessed everything.
Yinzhi's face turned ashen; how could it not? He was practically cuckolded.
Fortunately, he hadn't slept with this woman, otherwise he would have been unjustly raising her son.
Yinzhi acted quickly.
That very night, Princess Gao died suddenly. It was discovered that her personal maid was also involved in something improper, helping to cover it up, and she too died suddenly.
Another maid was unaware of the situation, and Yinzhi hadn't yet decided whether to kill her. It could only be said that this maid was lucky; after discovering the two men's sudden deaths, she fainted, fell seriously ill, and after recovering, remembered nothing.
Hehe, there are no coincidences. It's true that she fainted. After all, this little maid is only 11 years old and just started serving Princess Gao this year. The fact that she doesn't remember anything is because He Zhuo erased her memory, which is how she managed to survive.
The two eunuchs also died. The personal maid and the eunuchs' families didn't fare well either. The personal maid and one of the eunuchs had no family. Only one eunuch had a family. The whole army was wiped out. Not a single one was left. They were all dead.
As for Princess Gao's family, they were far away from the emperor, and Yinzhi couldn't do anything about it for the time being. The main problem was that Princess Gao's father was the deputy commissioner of the Salt Transport Office, a fifth-rank official who had just been promoted last year.
Things related to the salt transport are not easy to mess with, especially since the princess in the manor just died. To touch someone's father would arouse suspicion.
Yinzhi thought it over and over. Although he couldn't swallow his anger, he could report this problem. However, if he did, his father would investigate and find out that he had only been sleeping with his wife in the backyard. Wouldn't that expose him to Kangxi?
The Emperor hates having only one favorite. Although the Consort has given birth to several grandsons, the Emperor is not just the Emperor; he is first and foremost the Emperor.
This won't work, it won't work, so let's put this matter aside for now.
However, the guard's family members cannot be ignored.
As the saying goes, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too." If someone can raise a son like this, they themselves must not be a good person either.
The guard was dealt with by Yinzhi that very night.
This guard was born into a bondservant family. You wouldn't know unless you investigated, and what you found was shocking. Not all the guards in the Prince's mansion were completely innocent, but at least every one of them had been investigated. However, he still betrayed the Prince after a few years.
Gao was cautious and left no evidence.
Although there was a eunuch's testimony, it didn't have much effect. But who was Yinzhi? Although everyone thought he was straightforward and simple.
However, children raised in the palace are never simple. Yinzhi found a royal physician, his trusted Physician Liu, and had Gao's body dissected by a coroner. There were more than one or two people present who witnessed it. Yinzhi had never slept with her, and everyone in the mansion could testify to that. Could the fetus in her womb have appeared out of thin air? This is irrefutable evidence.
Although this guard was fond of beautiful women, he was not born with the audacity to do so. He was acting on someone's orders, and to prevent being killed to cover his tracks, he left behind evidence. It turned out that this Lady Gao had written him love poems, and not just one, but also a purse and braided tassels made by Lady Gao herself.
