Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 319 Little Beauty

Two days later, the seventh prince no longer had a high fever, nor did he suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and his condition became increasingly stable.

Nie Wushuang and Doctor Zhao clearly told Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu that the Seventh Prince had passed the critical period and only needed to take the medicine for another seven or eight days. After he recovered, he would be fine.

Lan Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief, then felt the world spinning, his vision went dark, and he passed out.

Fortunately, Lan Qingwu was just overly worried and temporarily exhausted. She woke up after a while.

Emperor Shenwu personally fed Lan Qingwu the medicine, told him to have a good rest, and then left Fengqi Palace. There were some things that he had to deal with personally.

During this period, Queen Mother Li came to Fengqi Palace. She had always loved her grandson, the Seventh Prince, the most. The Seventh Prince was seriously ill, and Queen Mother Li was extremely anxious. Emperor Shenwu calmly persuaded Queen Mother Li to leave.

In the side hall of Qianzheng Palace, the Sixth Prince was under house arrest.

When he knew his brother was seriously ill, he thought of many things in an instant, but the most important thing at the moment was his brother's illness and his mother.

The Sixth Prince immediately wanted to return to Fengqi Palace, but the Shenwu Emperor had already anticipated his reaction and directly sent the Black Feather Guard to guard the door and confined him to the side hall of Qianzheng Palace. The Sixth Prince looked grim, but he managed to hold on. Thinking of his sister who was only a few months old, he asked the eunuch Xiao Fuzi who was guarding him, "How is the Seventh Princess?"

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Sixth Prince. The Empress sent the Seventh Princess to Qianzheng Palace early this morning. His Majesty has made all the necessary arrangements. The key is you, Your Highness. You must not act impulsively! The Seventh Prince is ill, and His Majesty and the Empress are just as concerned about you. You must not let them worry any more, right?"

The Sixth Prince became increasingly calm. He sat down beside the bed and said, "Yes! This prince should remain calm!"

No matter who is behind this, since they hurt his mother and brother, he will never let them go!

Emperor Shenwu sent people to investigate for several days, and the whole harem was in a panic. After a day, they found out that the case was committed by a beauty and a eunuch in the Imperial Household Department who was in charge of tea utensils. Emperor Shenwu directly ordered them to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment. There were 72 sets of torture instruments in the Ministry of Punishment, which were enough to make even a mute speak.

But Concubine Sun was a palace concubine after all, and was imprisoned in the cold palace, waiting for the emperor's decision on her rebellion.

The eunuchs brought by the eldest prince and the second prince to Bianyu City were also taken to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. As well as the guards who followed the eldest prince and the second prince, all those on duty in the palace were secretly investigated.

On the surface, a little beauty took the responsibility, but those in power knew that she was just a scapegoat!

The investigation only led to Concubine Sun, but Emperor Shenwu did not believe a word of it. Deputy General Manager Li Zhong had been under a lot of pressure recently. The emperor asked him to continue to secretly investigate the affairs of the Seventh Prince, but the person behind the scenes was hiding deeply, which made Li Zhong very worried.

Li Xiang turned around and saw Li Zhong's sad face, and rolled his eyes at him: "You are so stubborn!"

How can we describe the relationship between Li Zhong and Li Xiang? There is a sense of mutual complementation and mutual exclusion between them. However, the two also cooperate a lot, often joining forces to suppress some other restless eunuchs who want to rise to the top, but they compete for favor with each other in front of Emperor Shenwu.

Li Zhong was extremely humble at this time: "General Manager, what do you mean? Just give me some advice, and we'll have a better life!"

Li Xiang thought to himself, if it weren't for the sake of making life easier, I wouldn't be so kind. He coughed lightly and said, "Remember, you owe me one. I'm telling you, if you can't investigate it the right way, you can investigate it the wrong way!"

Li Xiang lowered his voice. "Think about it. Who in this palace is most hoping for something bad to happen to the Seventh Prince? Who is most hoping for something bad to happen to the Empress? Think about it! Think carefully!"

Li Xiang said no more and hurried off to serve the Emperor Shenwu, leaving Li Zhong squinting his eyes. Who! Who else! This is quite clear! Without further ado, Li Zhong turned around and went to work.

So when Li Zhong found some clues and couldn't investigate any further, he gave up trying to hold on and went straight to the Emperor Shenwu to ask for an audience: "I am stupid and can only find out this much. The young eunuch Jin Cai from Yunshui Pavilion has committed suicide by jumping into the lake. I can't ask if this is related to Concubine Lin. But there is one more thing. This young eunuch Jin Cai and a servant eunuch in Wenhua Palace are from the same hometown. They don't see each other often, but they are closer than ordinary people!"

Li Zhong finished speaking, then lowered his head. This time, two more concubines of the emperor were mentioned. One was the princess presented by the Xisha Kingdom. Oh, that was the arrogant Princess Yunqi who had been under house arrest by the Shenwu Emperor. The other was a high-ranking concubine, and her status was not ordinary! He could only ask the Shenwu Emperor to deal with this matter.

Emperor Shenwu's face was as gloomy as water. "Go and summon all the six palaces to Fengqi Palace! Bring Yunqi here!"

Emperor Shenwu did not acknowledge Princess Yunqi as a concubine in the harem at all.

All the matters of the previous dynasty and the harem came together, and Emperor Shenwu had been busy for several days in a row. His face looked really ugly at this moment.

All the concubines in the six palaces were summoned to Fengqi Palace. Those who were smart and thoughtful felt that this matter would not end well.

Yes, the seventh prince born to the Empress had a close call with death. Not to mention Emperor Shenwu, even if the Empress had a good temper, she would not let it go.

In the main hall of Fengqi Palace, the concubines from the six palaces knelt on the ground. Among them, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wan were the most nervous. The six palaces were under martial law recently and they could not leave the palace. Naturally, they had no idea how Emperor Shenwu was investigating this matter.

Kneeling at the front, Imperial Concubine Jiang thought helplessly, "Concubine Wan is fine, but this time, I and the Second Prince are the biggest suspects. I hope His Majesty can find out who did it."

Lan Qingwu was sitting at the top, with a rare cold expression on his face, and he did not call out. Emperor Shenwu arrived quite quickly, and the concubines hurriedly bowed and greeted him again.

Emperor Shenwu's expression was stern, and he had no intention of calling her. He helped Lan Qingwu up and sat with her at the top of the table.
