She didn't care. If Concubine Kangde threatened her child, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
But now that Concubine Kangde was talking about good people, she could not help but think that she was overthinking them.
When Concubine Jin went back, she was still thinking about Concubine Kangde's last words.
'The third prince, with his background, was just a wealthy and idle man in the end. My family background is average, and you are not considered to have an outstanding family background. What will happen to the third prince and the eldest princess when you and I get old? In the end, it is best for them to help each other. '
Concubine Jin thought that Concubine Kangde could see clearly what the third prince was like. It was too difficult to get the Third Prince to stand out.
And she, the eldest princess is fine now, what can she do in the future
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
And this was the palace. No matter how unintelligent Concubine Jin was, she knew that the emperor would not think too far ahead.
The eldest princess is naturally fine under her father's protection now, but one day, she will have to live in the hands of her brothers.
At that time, what should she do if the new emperor who came to power was not close to her? Without the help of brothers, even a princess would have a hard time these days.
If the third prince could really be asked to take care of him, just having such a person would be enough.
In the Leshou Palace, after seeing off Concubine Jin, Zhima said: "If Concubine Jin had chosen the young master of the Fang family, this talented man would still be in the palace."
"With that kind of temperament just now, if she could be favored, she would have been favored long ago. In the coming year, there will be new people entering the palace, which will inevitably lead to another fight. It will be difficult for her to get ahead," Dou Su said.
Concubine Kande smiled, she didn't care about this.
She wanted to make the eldest princess stand out, but she would never give up supporting the third prince to become the crown prince.
She has long been willing to give up everything.
Even if she can't, she will eventually choose someone she is satisfied with.
On the surface, the Ninth Prince's farce was over.
But on the twentieth day, when I thought these things were over, the Eighth Prince suddenly fell ill.
Moreover, his death from illness was so severe that there were dangers.
The imperial doctor rushed to Ruiqing Palace. The emperor was busy and did not come, but the queen arrived first.
Not only was the Eighth Prince burning hot, but his whole body began to twitch.
He soon became unconscious. He was already stupid because of what happened last time, but now that he was like this, it was really unbearable to watch.
The imperial doctors' expressions changed suddenly after taking turns to take pulses.
poison.
It's an extremely chronic poison that lasted for half a year.
Because it is such a chronic and overbearing poison, it is completely invisible when the poison is not taking effect except for blood tests.
But who would bleed a prince for nothing
Qi Yixiu, who came to Ruiqing Palace after finishing his political duties, immediately turned over the table.
The queen also had a frosty look on her face: "Is the diagnosis correct?"
The imperial doctors knelt on the ground: "I dare to use my life as a guarantee."
"If the Eighth Prince does anything wrong, your lives will be lost." The Queen snorted coldly: "Let's talk about whether we can detoxify him first."
"Yes, although he is overbearing, because the Eighth Prince is weak, the poison took effect earlier. Now we can save him." The imperial doctor wiped away the sweat. If it takes another year and a half, there is no telling whether the poison can be detoxified. However, the Eighth Prince's body became weaker and weaker, so what about detoxification? Not a broken body
Although the Eighth Prince is also very bad now.
After Wen Chongrong arrived, he heard that he was poisoned, and he collapsed on the ground.
How could it be poisoning? Who would be so cruel as to deal with a stupid prince
This is also the sentiment of everyone who comes. Who would do this
Shen Chuliu suspected that Wen Chongrong directed and acted in order to win the emperor's pity, but looking at her like this, if it was really her, wouldn't her acting skills be a bit too good
Qi Yixiu is already thinking about killing people, so he doesn't need to give orders on the fourth day of the lunar month, so he will naturally arrange a strict investigation. After being poisoned for half a year, this cannot be detected at once. Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that the poison must be taken several times, and it will not be effective once.
I started to investigate what happened half a year ago.
The Eighth Prince drank the medicine and felt a little better, but the fever didn't go away, it was just not as severe.
At this moment, the emperor not only showed no pity for Wen Chongrong, but actually felt disgust.
It is possible to poison a child for half a year without knowing it, which shows that she is not interested.
The Internal Criminal Division secretly cooperated with the Criminal Department to investigate the case. After all, the poison was not from the palace.
In the palace, the eighth prince is recovering from his illness, and Wen Chongrong is with him every day. Everyone in the harem is also in danger. Concubines with princes pay special attention.
At the Sixth Prince's residence, Yu Luo said: "We strictly follow your instructions here. Food is strictly monitored, and items of unknown origin are not given to His Highness. Meals delivered from the dining room will never pass through other people's hands. If you have any doubts in the meantime, I would rather eat later than eat indiscriminately.”
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Don't be so nervous. I secretly asked Dr. Zhao where the poison was brought in. It was basically fed. I just don't know what it was mixed with. I think the dose is quite small."
"Isn't this too bold?" Yuchi said in shock.
"It would be hard to say if it were another child, the Eighth Prince..." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
It's too easy to feed a fool poison.
Yuchi also thought about it, but broke into a cold sweat, thinking that he would pay more attention to His Highness the Sixth Prince in the future.
I really can't let it go a little bit.
Soon, the Criminal Department found something outside.
It turned out that the target was directed at Zhenchong Yi.
It turned out to be the nanny of the Ninth Prince, and it was the Sun family member who found out the clues.
The Ministry of Justice used the powder prepared by the imperial doctor to trace the source of the poison. It took three days to finally find out the result.
It was Sun's husband's family, who also happened to be named Sun, who spent money to buy these medicinal materials. In order not to arouse suspicion, he went to several drug stores to buy all the medicinal materials.
And this person is Sun's brother-in-law.
Mrs. Sun went to the palace to work as a wet nurse. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. She did not come back all year round, but she sent her monthly salary.
Every month, her husband could see her at the palace gate.
So when she received the letter saying that she wanted these medicines to do something for her master, her husband saw the thousand taels of silver in the banknote and was not suspicious at all.
It was sent to the house by a eunuch.
Mrs. Sun was shocked when she got the medicine powder, but she didn't dare to refuse it at the palace gate, so she could only take it inside.
That night, before I was done with anything, I saw a letter in the house.
She can read and understand words naturally.
The letter only threatened her son and daughter, and hinted that she would be fine as long as the Eighth Prince took some of the powder three times. Not only would she be fine, but she would also get another thousand taels of silver.
Although she was serving the prince in the palace, one thousand taels was still a large amount.
She hesitated again and again, and because her child was still in someone else's hands, even if she took the letter to report, she still didn't know who did it. After many twists and turns, she finally had no choice but to do it.
As Shen Chuliu thought, it was too easy to give poison to a stupid child.
