"Master Jin, has the investigation been completed?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.
Jin Long raised his head and reported back: "Yes, Wei Chen has investigated clearly. Dr. Gao came to Shuntian Mansion earlier and asked us to post a notice. It is a rumor to perform a cesarean section to retrieve the child. Ordinary people must not make decisions without authorization!"
"Is it him?" Wen Qingzhu was silent. Has Angelica already done so many things in advance
Jin Long nodded and replied: "Mr. Gao is a kindhearted doctor. He has already explained the risks to Wei Chen. The conditions for implementation are so harsh that ordinary people will never be able to complete it. They will only be mother and child."
"It's only been half an hour since the incident on the street just now. Have you known about this old woman's family affairs for a long time?"
"It's true. The daughter-in-law of the Zhao Wu family had a dystocia the day before yesterday, killing one and two. They originally went to the doctor to ask for compensation, but the doctor had explained it carefully before, and there were also their neighbors and relatives present, so they were entangled. After two days with no results, I heard rumors about caesarean section to remove the baby, so I secretly opened my daughter-in-law's stomach and took out the dead baby. I didn't expect to bump into Madam today."
Jin Long said it with a sense of shame on his face.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head slowly: "This matter is not that simple. The carriage I ride in is no different from that of ordinary people. If they can be prepared to come to me without any mistakes, of course they have someone to point them out. Besides, you also said, I have dealt with their family’s affairs for a while before.”
Seeing Wen Qingzhu speak, Jin Long no longer concealed anything: "In the past few days, people from Weichen and Bingma Division have been stepping up inspections. After Dr. Gao's instructions, we paid more attention to pregnant women who were about to give birth. In the past few days, difficult labor has The number of people increased suddenly, and when Commander Fan also patrolled there, he discovered something unusual."
"What's abnormal?" Wen Qingzhu smelled a conspiracy.
Jin Long stood up, took a document from his sleeve, and handed it to Wen Qingzhu: "Madam, please take a look at this first."
Wen Qingzhu took it and looked at it, then stood up immediately.
At this time, Jasmine hurried back, followed by Fan Yu.
"I've met Madam!" Fan Yu bowed his hands and saluted.
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand: "Excuse me, why are you here?"
Just listen to Jasmine explain: "I was stopped by someone on the road. Fortunately, Mr. Fan even found out and escorted me back."
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank. Was she targeting everyone around her
Fan Yu saw Jin Long here and asked him, "Did Mr. Jin tell Madam what happened last time?"
"I'm about to say it." Jin Long also had a serious face.
He turned to Wen Qingzhu and said: "The documents recorded are the families who came to report the crime. We have investigated carefully. Last night, the Wen woman had left the city and is currently missing."
"I didn't expect there to be such a big flaw!" Wen Qingzhu gritted his teeth.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the document in his hand, which recorded that in recent days, pregnant women in the capital have had difficulty giving birth one after another, and they all went to the same old woman, Mrs. Qian, who had previously delivered Lei Qiniang's baby.
As a result, Mrs. Qian accepted the money and helped deliver the babies. The babies were born, but they all died within three days.
It's not easy for one or two families to notice, but when there are more people, someone will find out and report the crime.
But there is no trace of Mrs. Qian!
The most critical thing is that two of them, in order to keep the child alive, ignored the mother's life and forcibly opened the stomach to take out the child. As a result, the mother died of pain and the child also died shortly after birth.
Wen Qingzhu clenched his fists, these things were all directed at her!
"Madam, Mr. Fan also discovered a clue, that is, six of the seven families with difficult childbirths bought a men's medicine from a charlatan."
Jin Long quickly told the news that Fan Yu had found out: "It's just that we haven't found any traces of this gangster yet."
"It's okay, I will send someone to check it out!" Wen Qingzhu had relaxed and looked at the door intently, with the corners of his mouth raised.
It seems she won't be able to leave tomorrow.
At the same time, in the study room of Xuanzheng Hall, Jiang Yuanhan was reviewing the memorial, and innocently stood in front of him to report the news.
After talking about the business, Wuxin said hesitantly: "Today, Madam left the palace and was stopped by a family whose daughter-in-law and grandson were dead."
Jiang Yuanhan's hand suddenly stopped and he looked up: "Did they take action?"
"Well, does Your Highness want to intervene?" Wuxin asked again.
Jiang Yuanhan pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I won't interfere for the time being. Let's see what happens to my sister first."
"Yes." Wuxin quietly withdrew.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Yuanhan looked up, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Come in."
What appeared in front of him was a girl in a light blue dress. She was holding a cup of tea and walked in front of him with light and regular steps.
"Your Majesty, please see the prince." The gentle voice seemed to be dripping with water, and when he slowly raised his eyes, he looked even more charming.
Jiang Yuanhan also showed just the right amount of sympathy: "Why are you here, Miss Pei? Isn't Zhao'er accompanying you? Didn't she treat you well? Tell me."
"His Highness was joking. Sister Zhao'er is very nice. The eldest grandson, Shang Gong, came to see her for something. I thought that there was no one around to serve His Highness, so I brought new tea. Your Highness, try it and see if it tastes good?"
Miss Pei put down the tray, took out the tea cup, and handed it to Jiang Yuanhan, looking at him expectantly.
Jiang Yuanhan reached for the tea cup and looked down at the light green tea. The fragrance was very familiar.
It's the smell of my sister's tea.
Looking up again, I saw that the girl in front of me was 50% similar in terms of movements and demeanor, and the other 50% -
There is a vague shadow of my sister.
Jiang Yuanhan's eyes darkened, he lowered his head and took a sip, and was about to put down the tea cup when his throat rolled and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
He immediately shouted: "Here comes someone! There is an assassin!"
When Miss Pei was shocked, a secret guard appeared silently behind her, and in an instant, a long sword penetrated her heart.
She didn't even have time to think about what was happening.
Jiang Yuanhan raised his head indifferently and said calmly: "Go and ask Prime Minister Pei to come. I want to ask why the girl from the Pei family poisoned me."
The secret guard withdrew his sword fiercely, turned around and disappeared.
Jiang Yuanhan lowered his eyes and looked at the dead body on the ground, with a cruel smile on his face: "You can imitate anyone, except my sister."
At night, Wen Qingzhu was anxiously waiting for news at home.
As a result, the investigation into the pregnant woman's dystocia was not completed, and Lei Yan suddenly came in a hurry.
As soon as he saw Wen Qingzhu, he asked, "Why are you still here?"
Wen Qingzhu immediately asked, "Where is it if it's not here?"
Lei Yan slapped his forehead, pointed in the direction of the palace and asked, "Don't you know? A girl from the Pei family who was sent to the palace by the Pei family poisoned the prince's tea and was shot dead on the spot as a secret guard. Now all the imperial doctors and ministers They are all in the East Palace, even Prince Ning has gone!"
Wen Qingzhu was shocked when he heard this and ran outside quickly.
As a result, he didn't take more than two steps before he pulled Lei Yan back: "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Lei Yan was a little strange.
Wen Qingzhu thought about it carefully. She had seen the girl next to Pei Zhixuan during the day, and she dressed up like Zhao'er.
"Aren't you going?" Lei Yan looked at her thoughtful expression and felt increasingly strange, so he added, "My grandfather asked me to come to you."
Wen Qingzhu came to his senses, nodded, and followed Lei Yan to the palace.
Two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at the East Palace.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a large group of people standing at the door, most of whom were acquaintances.
As soon as she passed by, everyone immediately moved out of the way.
Under the middle step, Pei Yu knelt and said nothing.
Wen Qingzhu greeted the ministers and finally looked at Lei Xiao.
Just as she was about to go in, Wei Ziying suddenly called out to her: "Madam, are you coming into the palace today?"
Wen Qingzhu stopped and turned around: "Well, I told the prince that I will temporarily leave the capital tomorrow."
Having said this, she glanced inside the room and said seriously: "It seems that I can't leave for the time being."
Pei Yu, who was kneeling, had dark eyes. Wen Qingzhu was actually leaving
Wei Ziying asked again: "Just said this one thing?"
Faced with his doubts, Wen Qingzhu looked calm, looked at Fu Yu next to him and said, "When I came today, Mr. Fu Yu was also there. I only said a few words and left. If you don't believe me, Mr. Fu Yu is still here." You can ask Miss Pei Zhixuan, what did I really say to the prince when I met her at the gate of the palace, and then less than two-quarters of an hour later, I met her again at the gate of Xuanzheng Palace."
"Thank you for your explanation, madam." Seeing Wen Qingzhu's behavior, Wei Ziying felt even more worried.
How did the Pei family girl poison her, but now Jiang Yuanhan has been poisoned again, and the imperial doctor is still treating him.
Wen Qingzhu stepped in and scanned around. All the imperial doctors were there, but Angelica was not there.
Jiang Yuanan inside seemed to see her coming, turned around and lifted the curtain and came out.
"Why didn't you come over right away?"
Wen Qingzhu frowned and replied, "I didn't receive any news."
She raised her eyes and looked inside. The imperial doctor had surrounded the bed so tightly that she couldn't see anything at all.
Jiang Yuanan also looked back, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yuanan raised his finger and pointed to the opposite compartment and asked, "Can you go over there with your wife and talk about Qiniang?"
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu nodded in agreement.
The two people arrived in the cubicle, which was only blocked by a screen. Looking from the central hall, they could still clearly see what the people inside were doing.
Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanan kept a suitable distance.
But people outside couldn't hear what they were saying.
Naturally, Jiang Yuanan could lower his voice: "Madam, please advise Qiniang. If she goes on the road, she won't be able to save herself, not to mention the child."
"I'll try my best." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
The two fell into silence again, each thinking.
Suddenly, Dr. Gan in the inner room opposite shouted in surprise: "The prince is awake! He's awake!"
The two of them came to their senses at the same time. Wen Qingzhu wanted to go out and see Jiang Yuanhan, but Jiang Yuanan suddenly said, "I insisted on making peace with Li because I knew about Qiniang and Dr. Gao."
Wen Qingzhu was startled and turned to look at Jiang Yuanan, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Madam, she really has this look in her eyes." Jiang Yuanan smiled mockingly, but then he became more and more calm, "I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing in this life. Qiniang is at fault, but she has no harmful intentions. I don't If I like her, I'm afraid I won't like her in the future. She will only suffer if she follows me. It would be better to reconcile with Li and let her stay in the capital."
Wen Qingzhu couldn't believe it. These words were not like what Jiang Yuanan would say.
Rather like—
She narrowed her eyes: "Wei Niang is awake?"
"Well, it's much better. The Du family is also over in Ganzhou. I'll set off with her." Jiang Yuanan didn't hide anything and told her directly.
At this time, Xiao Fangzi stood in front of the screen and respectfully reminded: "Madam, can you please go over and see His Highness?"
"Yeah!" Wen Qingzhu glanced at Jiang Yuanan and followed Xiao Fangzi to the other side.
When they got to the inner room, Wei Ziying and Lei Xiao were already standing in front of the bed.
Jiang Yuanhan leaned on the soft pillow, his face was a little weak, he looked at Wen Qingzhu with a smile and said, "Sister, you are here."
Wen Qingzhu felt very distressed, but did not dare to show it on his face.
