The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 28 The Arsonist
"But, I will only cause you trouble if I stay." An Chen stroked her hair with his left hand, his voice was extremely gentle, "I am an ominous person!"

"I don't allow you to talk about yourself like that!" Ning Yuezhao said angrily.

An Chen smiled helplessly, with a sad expression on his face, "As soon as I was born, my father died, my mother became a widow, and later remarried inhumanely. They all said that I was born to be lonely, and I was born without my father and my mother. Punish relatives and harm friends, kinship is extremely thin, as long as people close to me will not end well, harm others and myself."

Ning Yuezhao sat up straight, covered his mouth angrily, "You are not allowed to say such things again."

An Chen had no choice but to wink at her, signaling that he would not say any more, and Ning Yuezhao let go of her hand.

The two were speechless for a while, and before they knew it, the sky outside the window was beginning to dawn.

Ning Yuezhao saw that An Chen was still sweating on his forehead, and said with concern, "I'll ask someone to come and see you."

An Chen showed a faint smile, "Okay."

After Goldman Sachs left last night, he summoned several top-notch imperial physicians to guard the imperial hospital, waiting for orders at any time.

Therefore, someone soon came to check on An Chen's injuries.

"Princess Qi, Doctor An's wound is not serious, but this burn is no slower than other wounds, and heals slower. I'm afraid I will suffer more." The doctor reported carefully, "Later, I will cooperate with you." Some painkillers are mixed in the burn ointment, and it will be better after being replaced."

"Okay." Ning Yuezhao nodded in satisfaction.

After the imperial doctor withdrew, Ning Yuezhao said to An Chen: "It's time for the morning court, I have to go first."

An Chen said obediently: "Go, I'll sleep for a while too."

Ning Yuezhao was worried, and before going out, she instructed: "You should take a good rest and don't think wildly."

An Chen nodded, and said gently, "Okay."

When Ning Yuezhao stepped out of the imperial hospital, it was close to Chen Shi, and at this time, the ministers had already entered the palace one after another, waiting in the Chongtian Hall.

Not daring to delay any longer, Ning Yuezhao boarded the Zhulun chariot and headed straight to Chongtian Hall.

Qingchi had just brought the clothes for the court, and Ning Yuezhao changed directly in the carriage.

As a result, some ministers who came early and came late were surprised to find that the princess's car did not drive in from the harem.

When Ning Yuezhao entered the Chongtian Palace as usual, she was so surprised to find that the queen had already been sitting on the dragon chair, with an obvious sickness on her face, but her expression was cold and serious like never before.

With a shock in her heart, Ning Yuezhao understood that the empress must have known about her "behavior" last night, that's why she forced herself to go to court today with her sick body.Thinking of this, Ning Yuezhao couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

At this time, the officials had already knelt down to salute——

"See my emperor, long live, long live, long live! Your Royal Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

"Stay flat." The Queen said in a cold voice, but just after she finished speaking, she couldn't help covering her lips and coughing a few times.

Listening to the coughing sound, Ning Yuezhao felt as if her heart had been cut by a blunt knife.

Although Jiang Nian, who was standing at the back of the hall, couldn't see the expressions of the two of them clearly, he had already sensed something was wrong.Last night, the direction of the palace was full of flames, and it was no secret that the Dianzang Pavilion of the Imperial Hospital caught fire.

Zuo Ming, the commander of the imperial army, went to the hall to report: "Your Majesty, at half past midnight last night, a fire broke out in the Dianzang Pavilion of the Imperial Hospital. Fortunately, the palace people found it in time, so no casualties were caused. However, all the treasured classics were burned."

The queen coughed a few more times, and said in a hoarse voice: "What is the reason for the fire?"

Zuo Mingdao: "Before discovering the fire, the guards of the forbidden army found a sneaky person when they were patrolling outside the imperial hospital. He claimed to be the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. The guards saw that he was acting suspiciously, so they searched him and found that he was wearing a fire bag."

In order to prevent water in the palace, people walking in the palace are strictly prohibited from carrying things such as fire pockets and saltpeter.Fire is used at night and is strictly controlled.For places like Dianzang Pavilion, it is strictly forbidden to carry fire.

With a little anger on the queen's face, "Who is so bold?"

Zuo Ming continued: "The imperial doctor's name is Lin Zhou, and he is the nephew of the former imperial physician Ling Fu Yuan. The guards not only found fire pockets on him, but also found fire oil stains on the hem of his official robe."

Although the queen was furious, she still had judgment, and asked again: "He is Fu Yuan's nephew, why did he burn Dianzang Pavilion?"

According to common sense, he can only stay in the imperial hospital peacefully, even if he does not make a career, he can live a lifetime without any danger.Arson in the palace is a serious crime. It is not an exaggeration to ransack the family and exterminate the family. Isn't this Lin Zhou mentally ill?
The officials also had the same doubts, so some people questioned: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is strange, and it may be framed by someone!"

Zuo Ming didn't panic when faced with doubts, "The one responsible for collating and transcribing the Imperial Physician's handwriting together with Linzhou is Anchen Imperial Physician. Although the Lin family is a wealthy family, Linzhou has always been coquettish and self-willed. He has complaints. Weichen checked the excerpts handed over to the Imperial Hospital in the past few days, and almost all of them were written by An Chen."

As soon as he said this, some people in Baiguan were already shaken, but some people still refused to accept it.

"So what? At best, this proves that Lin Zhou is not doing his job well. Besides, according to Commander Zuo, the one who wants to retaliate should be Imperial Physician An Chen, right?"

Zuo Ming paused, glanced behind his eyes, and said, "Linzhou and Jiang Zhuangyuan are old acquaintances, and they have a very close friendship."

This time, the discussion among officials became more heated.Most people are well aware of the matter between the princess and An Yuyi, but because of the majesty of the royal family, they never dare to say it to the face.

The queen was out of breath and coughed several times.Ning Yuezhao hurried forward to help her calm down, but only took two pats before being blocked by the empress, "I can't die yet!"

Ning Yuezhao knew that her mother was angry with her, but she couldn't say anything in front of all the officials.

Jiang Qixi cleared his throat vigorously, and the hall became quieter.

The queen pressed one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair to borrow strength, and sat up straight, "Then how did Linzhou confess?"

Zuo Ming replied: "Zuo Ming has already been thrown into prison, but he insists that he was wronged."

The empress glanced at Jiang Nian's direction, "Then why did he find fire pockets and kerosene on his body?"

You must know that although it is strictly forbidden to carry fire folders privately in the palace, if anyone wants to hide one or two, they will not be found without strict investigation.However, the most terrible thing was the discovery of kerosene, and after investigation, the Cangdian Pavilion was indeed deliberately set on fire by pouring kerosene.

"According to Lin Zhou's confession, he and An Chen hit it off right away. The two were only busy chatting during the day and delayed their business. They had to stay in the Dianzang Pavilion at night to copy notes. But he himself fell asleep on the table not long after. An Chen woke him up and told him to go home and rest. He walked out of the Tai Hospital in a daze, but was stopped by the guards. Grease."

Xu Zhi, the second assistant to the cabinet, sneered, "It's almost as good as fooling a three-year-old child with his words!"

Jiang Qixi said displeasedly: "Then what does Xu Cifu think Linzhou's motive is?"

"Hehe." Xu Zhi smiled, and looked in the direction of Jiang Nian station, "It may be a personal grievance, or it may be ordered by others, and the lower officials have never participated in the investigation. In this case, the specific reason depends on the investigation results of Commander Zuo.”

Xu Zhi threw the hot potato to Zuo Ming, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Lin Zhou insisted that he had no dissatisfaction with An Chen, but..."

Seeing that Zuo Ming hesitated to speak, Ning Yuezhao was also a little anxious, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Zuo Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I asked the imperial physician who was the first to diagnose An Chen's pulse, and he said that he found remnants of drugs in An Chen's pulse image!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhi became even more proud, and he gave Jiang Qixi a provocative look. "It's obvious that Linzhou deliberately murdered Imperial Physician An Chen for some... ulterior purpose!"

Jiang Qixi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "You!"

"That's enough! You..." The queen got up abruptly, but because she had been sitting for too long, she got up in a hurry, her blood surged, her eyes went dark, and she passed out.

"Empress!" Ning Yuezhao, who was closest to the empress, strode forward and caught the empress's fallen body.

Because the empress suddenly passed out in the court hall, the court meeting was forced to be interrupted. Now Jiang Qixi, Xu Zhi and other important officials gathered in the front hall of the Dragon Hall, waiting for news.

Goldman Sachs brought together a group of imperial doctors with the most superb medical skills from the Taiyuan Hospital, and gathered in the Hall of Rising Dragons.

Ning Yuezhao waited anxiously at the door of the Queen's bedroom, and blamed herself: "It's all my fault, otherwise the Queen wouldn't be so angry."

Bitao originally blamed Ning Yuezhao, but now seeing her expression full of guilt, she couldn't bear to criticize her any more, and just sighed.

The door of the confinement room was finally opened, and Gao Sheng walked out first, bowing and said: "Princess Qi, Your Majesty fainted because of a sudden rush of urgency. With the help of the doctor, there is no problem, and he will wake up in a short time."

Ning Yuezhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Can I go in and accompany the empress?"

Goldman Sachs said: "Of course."

Ning Yuezhao stepped into the bedroom quickly, the maid saw her coming, moved a box for her and placed it in front of the bed.

Looking at her mother lying on the bed with a color like gold paper, Ning Yuezhao felt extremely guilty.

"Your Highness." Bitao followed her in and blessed her, "I know that there are some things that should not be said, but your actions last night really hurt His Majesty's heart."

Although Bitao is a female official of the Dragon Palace, she has accompanied the queen all the way to this day. Ning Yuezhao has always regarded her as an elder and respects her very much.

Hearing what she said now, Ning Yuezhao felt even more ashamed, "Auntie, I know I was wrong..."

"It turns out that His Majesty is very pleased to know that you and Jiang Zhuangyuan have gotten along well recently, and your condition has also improved. You made such a big splash last night that you even dismissed Fu Yuan from the post of Yuyi An. All these things, one by one, are slaves. I want to hide it for you from His Majesty, but I can't do it!" Bi Tao looked at her and shook her head again and again.

"I..." Ning Yuezhao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"She is capable now, why do you need to hide anything for her!"

Ning Yuezhao looked sideways, the queen woke up at some point, her voice was as cold as ice, and her face was indifferent.
