Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 514: The Death of a Delicate Child

Ah Tian said sinisterly, "You and I are destined to be together. Now, it depends on your worth, Princess Mingzhu!"

Ah Tian put her fingers into the child's mouth and fed something into it. The crying child suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

The eldest princess was going crazy. "What did you feed? What did you feed? Father! Father, save me!"

Ah Tian said softly, "Of course it's poison! If I still can't see the Queen in half an hour, your child will die! Okay, it's your father's turn to make the decision!"

The eldest princess trembled all over. How could it be possible! How could her father let the queen take such a risk! At this time, her father must have protected the queen tightly.

Looking at the silent child in her arms, the eldest princess broke down and pleaded: "Father, Father, please save An'er! Father..."

When the Grand Consort rushed in from outside the palace upon hearing the news, he only heard his wife's heart-wrenching cries, while the child, who should have been wailing in fear, was silent. The Grand Consort's eyes were bloodshot, and he tried to rush into the building, but the Crown Prince stopped him, "You must remain calm! Father is trying to find a solution!"

The prince consort tried his best to calm himself down and looked at the calm and almost cruel emperor not far ahead.

Suddenly, Emperor Shenwu's eyebrows moved slightly. He turned sideways to glance at Beijing Tower, stretched out his hand, and immediately a guard handed him the emperor's exclusive heavy bow.

On one side of the Beijing Tower, the prince used his Qing Kung Fu to flip over and enter the tower.

In the main hall of Fengqi Palace, Lan Qingwu waited for the Seventh Princess, whose face was as white as snow. She breathed a sigh of relief. The Seventh Princess, remembering the blood all over the ground, snuggled into Lan Qingwu's arms in fear. Lan Qingwu asked the young guard who brought the Seventh Princess back, "Did you save the Seventh Princess?"

Chu Shaoze bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is my duty. I dare not take credit for it!"

Lan Qingwu nodded: "Do you know how the eldest princess is doing?"

Chu Shaoze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the situation isn't good!"

Lan Qingwu stood up, and the Seventh Prince quickly reached out and grabbed Lan Qingwu: "Mother, father said we can't go out."

Lan Qingwu pondered for a moment: "Take Yueyue to rest, and mother will go and take a look!"

Even for the sake of Emperor Shenwu, she couldn't just sit there and wait. Under such circumstances, it would only make her anxious, and it would be good to know the situation of Nanjing Tower in time.

Chu Shaoze did not move his brows and was not worried. As expected, when he arrived at the gate of the hall, Leng Qujing was guarding Fengqi Palace. Following the orders of Emperor Shenwu, his guards stood like icy blades and would not let anyone from Fengqi Palace leave the palace.

Lan Qingwu did not force it. The faint cry of a woman in the wind made Lan Qingwu tremble with fear.

Emperor Shenwu reached out to take his strong bow. His bony fingers stroked the bow. The next moment, Emperor Shenwu channeled his energy into his dantian and leaped straight up.

At the gate of Nanjing Tower, Wei Yanting's voice echoed throughout the entire building: "That Qi Wang is a traitor, and Lin Shaojie is even more despicable, seeking fame and reputation, and aiding and abetting the evil. He deserves to die without a burial place!"

Ah Tian was so angry that her eyes were about to burst. In her excitement, she took a step forward, revealing half of her body.

On the top floor of Beijing Tower, the prince pulled the bowstring to its full extent and shot out two arrows at once.

The Emperor of Godly Martial leaped up, soaring straight into the air, drawing his bowstring to its full length. With this heavy bowstring, an arrow pierced the window! The arrow flew away in an instant and hit the unprotected right half of the palace maid Ah Tian's body.

The power of the arrow caused Ah Tian to fall backwards, falling three or four meters away, and then hitting the screen with a picture of mountains, rivers, flowers and birds behind him!

There were only the sounds of "bang bang bang", and Ah Tian fell on a pile of broken screen fragments, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

While the two black-clad assassins on the left and right were stunned, the prince's other two arrows arrived. With a tremendous force, the two arrows first broke through the window lattices of the North View Tower and then the window lattices of the South View Tower. They followed closely behind the arrow of Emperor Shenwu and accurately hit the two assassins on the left and right who were closest to the eldest princess.

All this happened in a flash. The remaining assassins were stunned. Before they could come to their senses, Wei Yanting and the Xuanyu Guards rushed into the third floor and started fighting with the other assassins.

The eldest princess fell to the ground and knelt on the ground, looking embarrassed and sad, but still holding her child tightly in her arms.

Emperor Shenwu landed gracefully, threw the bow and arrow to the guard beside him, turned around and walked into Nanjing Tower.

"Pearl!"

As soon as Emperor Shenwu stepped into the third floor, he saw Princess Mingzhu surrounded by guards.

Princess Mingzhu heard the voice and looked up in panic: "Father! Father, please look! Look at An'er! He won't wake up!"

Emperor Shenwu looked up and saw that the child's face and lips were purple, as if he had been poisoned. His heart skipped a beat.

Li Xiang shouted, "Your Majesty, I have sent for the imperial physician!"

The prince consort, with weak legs and feet, hurried up the stairs and saw a scene that made him heartbroken.

The eldest son-in-law didn't care about anything else. He half-knelt on the ground and held the eldest princess and her child in his arms, constantly comforting them: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. The imperial physician will be here soon... There's still half an hour before the poison takes effect..."

The eldest princess calmed down and waited anxiously for the arrival of the imperial physician.

The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Zhao Wubing, and the left court judge, Li, arrived breathlessly. Without even the time to greet them, they were urged to examine the child.

As soon as they started, Doctor Zhao and Doctor Li looked at each other.

The two men knelt in front of Emperor Shenwu, with ugly expressions on their faces, and shook their heads at him.

The eldest princess shook her head like crazy, "No! No way! What do you mean? Come over and detoxify my child!"

The eldest son-in-law was much more rational, but he still couldn't accept this result: "Imperial Physician, didn't you say that the poison will take half an hour to take effect? ​​Please save him!"

Doctor Zhao, under pressure from all sides, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this poison has already penetrated into the lungs. Even a god cannot save it!"

The eldest princess trembled all over. "No! No! He was just crying in my arms. Father! Father, I know the Empress has a special imperial physician. Please ask him to come! Ask him to come. The Empress has been treated by him many times!"

The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes held a trace of sadness: "Go and summon Nie Wushuang!"

In fact, at this time, except for the eldest princess and her husband, everyone else had already understood that the child could not be saved!

Imperial Physician Zhao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Nie and Imperial Physician Wu, who is good at detoxification, are downstairs in Nanjing Tower, waiting for your Majesty to summon them!"

Nie Wushuang and another imperial physician, Wu, came up quickly. After all, this assassination incident alarmed the entire palace, and the entire Imperial Hospital was on standby.

Nie Wushuang and Doctor Wu jointly examined the patient, and in just a few breaths, they reached a conclusion.

Nie Wushuang knelt down and bowed his head. "Your Majesty, the young master was poisoned by a deadly poison that kills within half an hour. However, the young master is young and weak, so he endured the same amount of poison as an adult."

Imperial Physician Wu also said, "Imperial Physician Nie is right. The young master has no pulse. Your Majesty, please accept my condolences! Princess, please accept my condolences!"

The eldest princess collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide in disbelief. "No! I don't believe it! An'er just fell asleep! He just fell asleep! Doctor Nie, you are a skilled doctor and can bring the dead back to life. I beg you! Please save my child!"

Nie Wushuang's brows were furrowed. He tried to look at the Shenwu Emperor with great patience. "Your Majesty, another point I want to make is that the young master was rescued in time, but he was born weak! Therefore, the poison took effect quickly, and he almost died instantly after the poison entered his mouth!"

The eldest princess was already sobbing: "It's me! As a mother, I didn't give him a good body! Why wasn't I the one who was poisoned! Why wasn't I!"

On this day when the autumn wind was blowing, the frail and sickly young child, who should have lived a life of wealth and happiness, lost his life!
