She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 141 Doctor Gu is assassinated

"Ziqi, father has been living in a quagmire for so many years, and suddenly feels like he's been living in a quagmire, knowing nothing. I wonder if your grandfather is also living in the same deception as me."

After a long while, the prince finally uttered a sigh.

"Father, let's not talk about the past. Shouldn't we investigate what happened back then?"

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate. Your grandmother left behind four maids before she died. One is already dead, Madam Zheng, and the other three were married off by the Second Old Lady. I have never cared where they are now.

We don't know whether they are alive or not.

I was too young at that time and knew nothing.

Fortunately, your grandfather was in charge of both the outer and inner courtyards, which allowed me to survive.

When I was only three years old, your grandfather sent me to the outer courtyard to be raised. Children are usually raised in the outer courtyard after the age of seven. Otherwise, I might have fallen victim to that old woman's murder."

The prince felt very guilty. He had lived in confusion for so many years.

Shangguan Ziqi could understand his feelings, but it was no use saying it now as so much time had passed.

My grandfather passed away four years ago.

It would be better if my grandfather were still alive. It would be more appropriate for him to handle this matter. The second old lady is his concubine.

As a younger generation, my father must provide evidence when doing things.

Moreover, the second old lady gave birth to two children, one of whom was the emperor's concubine and gave birth to a prince.

No evidence can be dealt with lightly.

"Are there only four maids? No one else?" Shangguan Ziqi felt that the other three had probably been dealt with, and that someone must have saved Nanny Zheng and allowed her to enter the main courtyard through his father.

"There must have been other people. There must have been quite a few servants in the main courtyard at that time, and they must have known something.

Father will investigate this matter. Take good care of your wife first. She is pregnant with twins. Father has placed two secret guards in the dark with your mother, so you don't have to worry."

"Yes, after the New Year, I will take my wife to live in the farm. It will be safer this way." Shangguan Ziqi was most afraid that something might happen to Yu Yuanzheng in the mansion, and he couldn't keep an eye on her all the time.

"It's up to you. When Emperor Zishu marries a concubine, you will stay by your father's side and help entertain guests. You'd better stay in your wheelchair until the eldest prince can stand up."

The prince took a look at his son's legs and felt extremely relieved.

And just then, An Yi knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Highness, something has happened." An Yiyi bowed.

"What's the matter?"

"I previously arranged for someone to follow the doctor Gu who was treating the eldest son, and he was assassinated." An Yi reported.

"What? Was he saved?" The prince's eyes flashed.

"We did save him, but they acted too quickly and our men weren't close enough to stop him, so we couldn't stop him. It's too late to find someone to treat him. He only has one breath left." An Yi was also helpless.

"Where is he now?" Shangguan Ziqi asked.

"An Shiba arranged the people in the backyard of a clinic, some distance away from the palace." An Yi replied.

"Father, do you want to let Madam take action?" Shangguan Ziqi looked at the prince.

Doctor Gu is a clue. It would be a pity if it was lost.

"Can your wife's body bear it?" The prince would definitely consider his own family first.

"Son, go ask her what she thinks now. If it doesn't work out, we'll just have to give up."

"Go."

Shangguan Ziqi came to the main courtyard. The second and third wives had already left. He saw that his mother had found a lot of cloth to sew small clothes.

I started preparing as soon as I found out I was pregnant.

So anxious?

"Mother, I will take you back to Qiyayuan to eat something." Shangguan Ziqi lied.

"Go ahead, walk slowly."

The two of them left the yard, but Shangguan Ziqi did not take Yu Yuanzheng back to the yard, but went to the outer yard.

But Yu Yuanzheng said nothing and just followed him because she saw that her husband's face was not very good.

It was only when I arrived at the prince's study in the outer courtyard that I was told what had happened.

"Father, my daughter-in-law is fine. She's six months pregnant, the most stable time. It's perfectly fine for her to do something." Yu Yuanzheng wouldn't give up on this important clue. That person was one of the people who harmed her husband.

"Father, take them to the small courtyard where Madam first started making pills. There's no one there now." Shangguan Ziqi made arrangements immediately.

I went to the small courtyard over there on the pretext of taking my wife back to her parents' home.

Now everyone in the palace has to be on guard.

You have to think of an excuse every time you go out.

Chunlei and Xiayu quickly prepared the carriage, and the six-member group escorted the carriage out.

And the other side.

The person sent by the third master to carry out the assassination mission quietly came to a private house.

These houses are arranged in a row. From the outside, they look like several families. But when you walk into one of them, you can see that they are connected inside and are quite large, so they can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

The third master is already waiting here.

"Lin greets the master." A man in black knelt on one knee in front of the third master.

At this time, the third master had a beard as long as a palm, wore a veiled hat that reached his chin, and was dressed like a gangster.

If you are not particularly familiar with it, you can't tell at all.

"Is he dead?" the third master asked coldly.

"I failed in my duty. I was stopped after only one stab. Judging from his attire, he is one of the prince's secret guards." The black-clothed man named Lin lowered his head in shame.

"Where is the tattoo?"

"Chest."

"What are the chances of survival?"

"I followed him to the clinic, but none of the doctors there could save him. He only has one breath left." Lin was very serious about his work and went along to take a look.

"Has anyone discovered him?" For so many years, the Third Master had been very cautious, fearing that he would be exposed somewhere.

"No."

"Go down and receive ten lashes as punishment. Be more careful next time. You didn't notice that there was someone following Doctor Gu. This is your dereliction of duty." The third master's cold voice reached Lin's ears.

"Yes." He took it for granted.

This shows how well-trained the Third Master's subordinates are.

"Master, we just returned to the capital. The prince is already alert, so we must be careful about everything." Another subordinate who had been standing nearby suggested.

"Yes. You should try not to come to the palace. The prince is now much more vigilant than before. He never posted secret guards in the main courtyard before, but now he does.

The Crown Prince's courtyard has even more, and every generation of Prince Rong has kept the iron box very closely guarded. So our plans may change, just wait for my orders. "The Third Master had secretly explored the palace last night.

"Yes, I obey."

On the other side, Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi, led by their guards, passed through several alleys and arrived at the remote courtyard when they felt that no one was following them.

Liu Mingde's family had been called away by Shangguan Ziqi a long time ago and arranged to be managers in a new courtyard.

The place was empty, with only some unused tools left in the yard.

However, Liu Ruan would come back to clean every once in a while.

The carriage stopped. There were no outsiders here, so Shangguan Ziqi got off the carriage directly and helped Yu Yuanzheng get off slowly.

After entering, I saw that the prince and An Yi were already waiting there.

They all used light skills to sneak out of the house.

Enter the right wing.

Sure enough, Yu Yuanzheng saw Doctor Gu, whom she had met before, lying on the bed.

The person has fainted.

The bloody clothes on his body have been changed.

But his face was pale.

Yu Yuanzheng stepped forward and felt his breath.
