When it was time of Hai, the emperor and the empress arrived at the Lanfang Pavilion together after the feast of the former dynasty. Liu Jieyu was one step ahead of them and waited outside the hall, while Qi Yu stepped forward to report the situation to the emperor and empress.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant has already found out that what happened today was done by Cao Xian, the imperial physician of the imperial hospital. This person is a disciple of Xu Yuan, but he has a lot of quarrels with his teacher in private. He wants to use the poison of oleander to harm him, but he doesn't want to. Today, Yuanmeiren had a seizure, and she was accidentally contaminated with toxins during childbirth, which caused the fetus to move excessively, causing a sign of blood collapse. Fortunately, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and Yuanmeiren's mother and child are protected by the real dragon emperor. Now the crisis is over, and Your Majesty can welcome your little Highness with peace of mind. gone."

The emperor nodded indiscriminately, listening to the painful cries coming from inside, he was a little worried.

If it is not a last resort, he also hopes that the mother and child are safe.

Qi Yu sneered in his heart, but on the face he stepped back respectfully, and winked at Liu Jieyu from a hidden place.

Liu Jieyu nodded imperceptibly, and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thought this matter was a bit strange. How could it be such a coincidence? It just happened to be today, and it happened to be the judgment of Xu Yuan who was in charge of the delivery of Yuanmeiren. Oleander..."

"Stop talking!" the emperor interrupted her, whispering, "If you want to talk about Chan'er, shut up, she is not such a person."

Qi Yu looked at him slowly.

Liu Jieyu didn't say anything yet, but the emperor already knew that what she wanted to talk about was Concubine Zhuang. It must be Concubine Zhuang Ningchan who harmed Zhou Shuhe.

He didn't want to believe it, but in fact he already believed it.

This is really... wonderful.

Qi Yu suppressed the coldness in his eyes, thought for a moment, stepped forward worriedly, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is worried that King Zhenbei did it."

The emperor's heart shrank suddenly, he turned his head suddenly, and his eyes were fixed on him as if he were real: "Why did you say that?"

Qi Yu respectfully said: "Your Majesty, think about it, although the king of Zhenbei is not in the capital, his third prince has not left for a long time. This man has always been arrogant and domineering, and he does not take the emperor seriously. We must start with the dragon's heir. For example, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Ning Wang, and even you, Your Majesty... It is related to the safety of the emperor, and this servant thinks that we have to investigate."

The emperor looked ugly and pondered for a while.

Qi Yu was not in a hurry, since the emperor already had doubts about Concubine Zhuang, but he just didn't want to investigate, then what he had to do was to give him a reason why he had to investigate.

Even if this reason is not so tenable, it doesn't matter, disgust will deceive people's minds, the emperor, he hates Zhenbei King Chu Huaizhang too much.

"That's it, Qi Yu."

"The servant is here."

"I will leave this matter to you to investigate, and Imperial Physician Cao will also be dealt with by you."

The emperor was not young anymore. After all the arrangements were made, he sat outside the hall and waited for a while. After a while, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he ordered Qi Yushou to stay in Lanfang Pavilion and come as soon as the child was born. Called him, and took Yuan Xian back to the palace to rest.

The snow gradually fell heavily, and the queen was holding a Tang Pozi in her hand, sitting on a chair and watching the snow piled up outside the eaves.

"Are you determined not to let Concubine Zhuang go?"

Qi Yu's whole mind was in the hall, and she didn't have the heart to perfuse her: "I don't know what your mother means."

The queen smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter who did it. The plot of the person who left and right has been exposed. Yuanmei will surely see her mother and child safe today. You should wait a little longer. If she gave birth to a princess, there is still time to find out the truth and take revenge." , but if you are a prince, you should put aside any grievances and grievances, and pour any dirty water on the concubine Jia, and you can climb to the highest point when King Ning is abolished."

Qi Yu frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Thank you, Empress, for your advice. It's just that there is a kindness and a revenge, and a servant has a grudge in his heart, so he doesn't want to let the culprit go."

"But Concubine Zhuang is the empress dowager's niece after all. Unlike the concubine's Zhu family, she has reliance inside and outside the palace. If you push too hard, Concubine Zhuang will bite back." The queen smiled and sighed, "You are young after all, and you don't care if you have feelings in your heart."

The point of the second half of the sentence is too obvious, and it is impossible for people not to pay attention.

Qi Yu turned around slowly, his eyes seemed to be ice-snow: "My servant thought that the Empress would not talk too much."

"That's natural. I also hope Yuanmei is good. His Majesty likes her and is willing to let her raise the prince. If one day, Yuanmei's son ascends to the throne, Yuan'er of my palace can also come back. It is a good thing for mutual benefit." The queen responded readily.

"But Qi Bingbi has to know that there are some old things that I can find out, but Concubine Zhuang may not be able to find out. The real thing is to make preparations early, but..." She looked up and down the young man in front of her, "It seems that you are really early. Be prepared."

Qi Yu herself is good at investigating some secrets, and understands that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and no one can keep secrets except the dead.But he was not so mad that he killed tens of thousands of people in that county in order to hide Huxiang's past. This is impossible, let alone he is not willing to do it.

Sooner or later, secrets will be revealed, but he can choose when to reveal them.

Concubine Zhuang has been with you for more than [-] years. Even if she finds out about Qi Yu and Zhou Shuhe's past, she should be clear in her heart that this is also a double-edged sword for her.

Concubine Chong once had a marriage contract with an eunuch, and she kept it hidden under her nose for so long. If the emperor knew about such shameful and humiliating things, his anger and shame would make him not want to let go of Zhou and Qi while killing Zhou and Qi. Other insiders—for example, Concubine Zhuang who told him about it.

If she hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, Concubine Zhuang would not have acted rashly.

He can take it easy.

With a thought in his mind, Qi Yu turned around and bowed to the queen: "If Concubine Zhuang is really in trouble, I hope that the empress will help the servants."

It was at this time that the baby's first cry came.

On the first day of the first lunar month, auspicious snow falls from the sky to usher in a good harvest.

The third child of Emperor Taiping fell to the ground. This little baby who had not yet opened his eyes was named King of Chu on the first day of his birth.

Two princes, two princes, one of them is titled by the country name, while the other is titled by the country's surname.

This is a very subtle signal.

After the former crown prince was abolished, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that the emperor wanted to make King Ning the crown prince, but later, the Zhezi who wrote the letter to become the crown prince was detained by Si Li, and the emperor was noncommittal about this.

However, following the conviction of the Zhu family, the demotion of the concubine Jia, the pregnancy of Yuanmei, and the birth of the second son of the emperor today, who was crowned King of Chu, the originally clear situation was cast a shadow of ambiguity.

The emperor is forty-five this year, this age is not very old - the first emperor has lived through seventy years, but he is not considered young - Tai | Zu died at the age of 45.

Today, King Chu is still an innocent baby, but King Ning is already 13 years old. The shorter the emperor's life span, the more obvious the advantage of King Ning's age.

Concubine Jia played with the exquisite Ruyu jade vase in her hand and stayed up all night.

What is contained in the jade bottle is the latest elixir refined by a Taoist priest recommended by Zhu Xuanyue, the lady of the white crane, to His Majesty.

Zhu Xuanyue was born in Yanhualiu Lane. She followed her mother as a fake nun in Mount Tai when she was very young. She was influenced by some Buddhist scriptures and Zen methods. Looks decent, pull a few daring alchemists to fool the emperor around.

Since ancient times, emperors have always believed that elixir can prolong life, but in fact, the rare herbs and gems mixed in the pills are just slow poisons that take away the life of the emperor.

The concubine Jia was very happy that His Majesty believed in the fairy elixir.
