Princess Zhuang impatiently pulled her hand away and slowly exhaled: "Am I wrong? Does he care about my life or death? Does he care about the life or death of the child?!"
They say everything will be fine if this baby is born, but how will it be fine
She could not forget the heartache and pain she felt when she was lying in bed that day and heard Dr. Lai say that the child might not be saved.
But what did King Zhuang do
He nonchalantly sat on the edge of her bed, watching her struggling in a pool of blood and sweat, and asked her softly what she planned to do.
She closed her eyes and a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
Who on earth did she marry?!
This kind of person, who doesn't even have time to grieve over the death of his own child but is already thinking about how to use the child's death to set up a trap, does he have a heart
Even if she really helped him get to that position, could she expect to share wealth and glory with such a conscienceless person
Mrs. Qin saw that her expression was cold, different from the past, and she felt a little sad. She sighed and sat beside her and said bitterly: "Life must go on, and it's rare to be confused in life... Listen to what mother said..."
Princess Zhuang is tired of it.
She turned around and lay down with her back to Mrs. Qin, refusing to speak again.
Mrs. Qin could only persuade her awkwardly: "Forget it, forget it, daughter, think about the good side. If it works this time, the prince will always look at your contribution..."
The room was silent.
At this time, the courtyard in the northeast corner of the palace where Doctor Lai originally lived was very lively.
Gao Ping stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the people working busily inside. He declined the tea offered by the palace steward and just asked, "Doctor Lai usually lives here?"
The steward answered, took the book and looked at the furnishings inside. When he heard Gao Ping's question, he said, "Because Doctor Lai is a famous doctor, the princess was able to eat more after taking his medicine at first, so the prince treated him very courteously and let him choose a courtyard to live in. So he chose this courtyard..."
When the steward saw Gao Ping standing up, he hurriedly said, "And the furnishings here, including the screens and kangs, were all picked out by Doctor Lai himself in the storeroom. He usually doesn't let anyone touch them, saying that he has a particular way of placing them. If we don't understand, it would be a bad thing."
oh
Gao Ping raised his eyebrows, thinking of something and was about to speak, when the head constable Lao Liu and the prosecutor came out quickly and said to him solemnly, "Sir, please come in..."
Seeing them acting like they were facing a formidable enemy, Gao Ping immediately frowned: "What is that?"
While saying this, he has already climbed the ladder.
It was not until he entered the room and saw a half-man-high vase lying on the ground and broken into pieces that his face changed. He then quickly took a few steps, squatted down, and pushed away the fragments. Not caring whether he would get hurt, he picked up something from the fragments, and then even his tone changed: "Manager Wu!"
Manager Wu exclaimed, and hurried in: "Master Gao, what's the matter?"
Gao Ping pointed at the debris on the ground and held up the thing in his hand to him: "What is this?"
In his hand was a doll made of white cloth. It had no face, but there were bright red words on its chest and shiny silver needles inserted on its front and back. It looked particularly eerie and terrifying.
Even though he had never seen it before, Manager Wu realized that something was wrong. He opened his eyes wide and shook his head hurriedly: "This... I don't know either..."
Gao Ping and Zhou Juntao looked at each other, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
The seriousness of the matter is completely different.
Although murdering the heir to the throne is a serious matter, if...
He gave a cold order: "Search! Don't leave any place in this yard untouched. Dig three feet deep!"
Seeing how excited he was, no one dared to delay and started searching everywhere desperately, even the curtains were torn down.
After a cup of tea, someone found another puppet from under the bed. The puppet was made of some unknown wood, and it also had no face, with a nail stuck in its chest.
Gao Ping became completely serious and personally watched the people below search. As a result, they found a white cloth bag under the mulberry tree in the yard.
By this time, everyone had noticed something was wrong. Zhou Juntao stood in front of Gao Ping with an unpleasant expression: "Sir, this..."
"Open it!" Gao Ping ordered his men, then raised his hand to stop Zhou Juntao, staring at the cloth bag without blinking.
The white cloth bag lay there quietly. Several detectives from the Ministry of Justice stepped forward to untie it. When they were halfway through untying it, they turned back with a miserable expression and shouted "Sir".
Then the white cloth bag fell apart, revealing a dead cat lying quietly inside, already emitting a foul odor.
Zhou Juntao couldn't help but take a step back.
Even Gao Ping couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He looked at the pile of things for a long time before he raised his hand and ordered Zhou Juntao: "Put it away, and have someone post a notice to track down this Lai Bin!"
Zhou Juntao did not dare to hesitate and quickly agreed, then asked: "Then this matter..."
"I'm going to the palace." Gao Ping glanced at the clouds in the sky, his expression extremely solemn.
Witchcraft, no matter which dynasty or era it happens in, is something that can cause countless people to lose their heads.
Who on earth dared to do that in Prince Zhuang's mansion...
He waved his hand, carefully put away all the puppets and hurried to the palace to ask for an audience.
The strong wind that blew up in Prince Zhuang's Mansion has not yet blown to other places. For everyone in the capital, this night was no different from any other night.
Su Yao opened the window, looked at the crescent moon outside, let her hair down and held Xiaobai in her arms.
Mother Shen pushed the door open and saw her still standing by the window. She hurried over to close the window and said, "You have to go to the Chen family for a banquet tomorrow. How can you be energetic tomorrow if you don't sleep so late?"
As he said this, he was going to pick up Xiaobai.
Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and looked at her vigilantly, then meowed and hid in Su Yao's arms.
Mother Shen was immediately angry and amused: "Xiaobai has been spoiled by you. Look at how no one can hold him these days. He just sticks to you."
It’s really strange. Everyone feeds Xiaobai the dried fish, but for some reason Xiaobai is close to Su Yao.
Xiaobai seemed to understand Mother Shen's complaints. He meowed, stuck out his tongue to lick the back of Su Yao's hand, and lay lazily in her arms.
Su Yao couldn't help laughing at this little thing: "Forget it, just leave it there, don't worry, I'll go to bed soon..." She comforted Mother Shen: "It's nothing, you should go to bed early too..."
Mother Shen had no choice but to agree and lightened the candle for her. Yan Cao then hurriedly pushed the door open and said, "Miss, the eldest master asked you to go out for a while. He is waiting for you in the meeting room. He said he has something to discuss with you."
