With a crash, the palace servants in the dormitory knelt on the ground, not even daring to take a breath.
Fortunately, at this time, the imperial physician came over, and Queen Pei stepped aside to allow the imperial physician to diagnose and treat her.
"How is Xi'er's condition? Why is she still unconscious?"
After diagnosing the pulse, the imperial physician hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the Empress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suffered severe internal injuries, and his internal organs have suffered serious damage."
When Queen Pei heard this, she immediately became anxious, "Can it be cured? If Xi'er cannot be cured, I will ask you all to be buried with him!"
"Queen, please calm down. Although His Highness the Crown Prince suffered severe internal injuries, it is not life-threatening. We are confident that we can cure His Highness, but it will take a certain amount of time to recover slowly."
Since the imperial doctor said that it can be cured, it means that the situation is not very bad. Queen Pei calmed down a little and said, "How long will it take to cure? At least, Xi'er must wake up first, right?"
"Wei Chen will definitely try his best, but given His Highness's current situation, it will take at least half a month, and at most two months, to regain his sanity and slowly wake up."
Queen Pei frowned when she heard that it would take so long for the prince to wake up. "It doesn't mean that his life is not in danger. Why does it take so long to nurse him back to his senses?"
"Those who attack His Highness the Crown Prince must have extremely high martial arts skills. When they injure His Highness, they control their internal energy extremely delicately and will not directly take His Highness's life. However, the damage to the internal organs cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
We can only watch the later stages of the medicine and our own gradual recovery, otherwise once the medicine is taken too hard, it will easily have the opposite effect and damage His Highness's body."
From the words of the imperial doctor, we can clearly draw the conclusion that the person who injured the prince did so deliberately. Queen Pei had a sullen face. Although she was extremely angry, she did not dare to risk her son's life.
"I know that Xi'er's body is in the care of the imperial doctors. As long as Xi'er can recover smoothly, I will definitely be generously rewarded."
The imperial doctors quickly knelt down and thanked them: "Yes, the Queen."
Next, the imperial doctors had to diagnose and treat the patient. Queen Pei didn't understand medicine, so she was standing beside her anxiously. She was so angry now that she just wanted to find the vent.
After coming out of the inner hall, a maid brought tea. Queen Pei had a sullen face. The moment she picked up the tea cup, she suddenly threw it hard at the guards with swords.
"They are all a bunch of trash. They can't even protect the prince. Drag him down and kill him with a stick!"
These guards with swords who returned to the East Palace also went to Dali Temple with the prince, but they stayed outside. The prince only took four guards to the Tianlao.
The guards with swords were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground in an instant, "Queen, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life! His Highness the Crown Prince only took four guards to the prison at that time, and all the lower-ranking officers were left outside. If he knew that His Highness had met him,
Even if you risk your life in a dangerous and humble position, you will still do your best to protect His Highness!"
"Xi'er took four guards to Tianlao? What did he do when he went to Tianlao? Who injured him?"
Several guards looked at each other and trembled and replied: "The lower-ranking people did not enter the Heavenly Prison, so... So I don't know what happened at that time, but His Highness went to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate Yan Mingzhu.
When His Highness was injured and carried out unconscious, the humble official heard that His Highness had taken Yan Mingzhu to the interrogation room alone for interrogation. Later, Ming Xingjian and others said that they were ordered by King Dingbei to break into the interrogation room.
It turned out that the four guards were all dead, and His Highness also fell to the ground unconscious."
Empress Pei almost didn't think deeply before she immediately concluded: "The trash must be Ming Xingjian and the others. They teamed up with that little bastard Qi Jue, closed the door, and injured Xi'er while there was no one else in the interrogation room. I will definitely
I won’t let them go!”
Especially Qi Jue, he must be the mastermind of the incident of injuring the prince, because Qi Jue knew very well that the prince, as the deputy prosecutor, would definitely do some tricks during the investigation, so Qi Jue simply did not stop doing it and killed the prince.
Directly inflict internal injuries.
Now that the prince is unconscious, he can no longer go to Dali Temple to trouble Yan Mingzhu, and with Qi Jue's ability, he may not be able to find out anything!
Thinking of this, Queen Pei became uneasy and said, "Immediately send a letter to Qin'er Feige and ask him to come to Kunning Palace as soon as he has finished the matter."
And here, after Kong Ci tested everything on the table, he got the final results.
"Your Highness, this bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is mixed with heart-eating poison. Because heart-eating poison is a poisonous insect, it is different from ordinary poisons. Therefore, even if a silver needle is used to test the poison beforehand, the toxin cannot be detected."
What Kong Ci put in front of Qi Jue was the bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall that Qi Jue had eaten at the table.
After learning that Buddha Jumping Over the Wall was poisonous, Qi Jue immediately asked: "Does Zhuzhu's bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall contain heart-eating poison?"
Kong Ci immediately shook his head and said, "No, among all the meals and containers, only your Highness's bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall contained the heart-eating poison. It seems that the person who poisoned it came here for Your Highness."
"No, I'm not here for me. Anyone who knows me a little bit will know that I don't like meat. This bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall was originally given to my mother and concubine because I wanted to try it on a whim.
The concubine then gave this bowl of Buddha Jumping over the Wall to me."
All in all, the target of the poisoner was actually Concubine Zhuang, but by some mistake, Qi Jue ate the bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall that was poisoned with the heart-eating poison.
Hearing this, Kong Ci was also quite surprised, "He actually went for Concubine Zhuang? Does His Highness already have some suspicion in his mind?"
"The Queen's party must have an inescapable relationship. Either they planned it or they were involved. As long as they get anxious and take action, it will soon become clear."
While he was talking, a white dove flew over. Qi Jue just raised his hand, and the white dove landed firmly on the back of his hand.
Qi Jue untied the creed from the white pigeon's leg, took it apart and sneered, "After Pei Duqin left the palace, he disguised himself and left the imperial capital. It seems that he planned to destroy the body and eliminate traces."
At this time, Ming Xingjian walked over in a hurry. Before he could speak, Qi Jue asked: "Is Zhuzhu okay?"
As soon as Ming Xingjian saw Qi Jue's face, she couldn't help but think of Yan Mingzhu's words that she liked Qi Jue.
In front of his love rival, Ming Xingjian felt that he still couldn't swallow this breath, "An hour ago, the prince and his men went directly to the prison and took Miss Yan alone to the interrogation room, intending to torture her to extract a confession."
Qi Jue's expression suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly, "Has she been tortured? Ming Xingjian, how did you do this? If I didn't ask you to rush to Dali Temple as quickly as possible, how could you let the prince get the first step?
?”
Not caring about this, Qi Jue threw the jade cup to Kong Ci. When he was about to walk out, Qi Jue suddenly realized something and stopped again, "Are you deliberately defrauding me?"
