The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Chapter 626 Dragging the water down

An ominous premonition floated vaguely in Ye Yuxiao's heart, but the emperor had already said so. She had no choice but to refuse, so she had to say: "If you want to know the cause of the little prince's death, you can only cut open the stomach and examine it." Stomach residue.”

When the emperor heard what she said, he hesitated: "Zhi'er died at a young age, which is pitiful enough. Now that he is dead, do you want to use a knife on his body?"

The good concubine's attitude was very resolute: "Your Majesty, just use the knife. After using the knife, just sew up the wound. If we don't find out who the murderer is, Zhi'er will die in peace."

She had already thought about it. If the little prince died at this young age, he would not be able to be buried in the imperial mausoleum even if he did not use a knife on his body. She might as well take a chance to find the murderer and avenge him.

The emperor thought for a moment and asked Dong Yi and Kong Mingyue: "Can you two cut open the stomach and sew it up again?"

Kong Mingyue nodded: "I will perform this operation."

"Then you are responsible for taking out the residue from the little prince's stomach." The emperor said immediately, "Envoy Dong Yuan is responsible for testing the composition of the residue."

"Yes, I/I obey the order." Dong Yi and Kong Mingyue responded.

"Princess Yingchuan, you have nothing to do here. You can go back and recover." After the emperor said to Ye Yuxiao, he gave her a lot of ginseng, deer antler and other fine supplements, and ordered her and Ouyang Sheng to be sent out. Went to the palace.

When the couple returned to Yingchuan Hou Mansion, Ouyang Sheng immediately carried Ye Yuxiao to the bed and repeatedly asked her if she was feeling unwell.

"I'm in good health, and now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters." Ye Yuxiao refused to lie down and sat up from the bed in order to speak more easily.

Ouyang Sheng couldn't resist her, so he had to take a big soft pillow and put it on her waist, and then talked to her about business: "We were at Gyeongbokgung Palace just now. I saw that you didn't want to find out the cause of the little prince's death. ,why is that?"

Ye Yuxiao sighed: "Once the residue in the little prince's stomach is detected, it will be easy to find the poisoner. And we all know who the poisoner is, don't we?"

There are only two princes in total. Apart from Prince Rong, who else can be at odds with the younger prince?

Ouyang Sheng thought the same way, but he still explained to Ye Yuxiao: "There are many people in the harem who are jealous of their good concubines having little princes. It may not necessarily be King Rong who did it. I heard that another concubine of the emperor is pregnant. It's also possible that she's trying to clear the way for her unborn child."

"It would be best if he is not King Rong." Ye Yuxiao said, "It is too cruel to poison an innocent young prince. I don't want the people we support to be scheming at all. Will play tricks."

She knew that the harem was dangerous, and she also knew that the battle for the throne had always been a matter of life and death. However, as a doctor, she had seen the loss of life with her own eyes, so she still felt a little uncomfortable with it.

However, even if she felt knotty in her heart, she still had to think about herself. If the murderer is really King Rong, once this matter is found out, she and Ouyang Sheng may be implicated, so she is unwilling to conduct an autopsy.

This is really a contradictory thing, but if you think about it carefully, her duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. If the little prince can still be saved, she will try her best to save him no matter what. But now that the little prince is dead, she naturally has to think about herself first. After all, she is a doctor, not a detective.

Ouyang Sheng didn't feel much about this cruel fight. In his opinion, since he was reincarnated into the emperor's family, he should have the consciousness of life and death. However, the method of drugging children is really too cheap and can be easily detected.

But now, it's useless no matter how much he despises it. He can only wait for news at home.

The next day, the couple had just had lunch, and Ye Yuxiao was trying hard to get Ouyang Sheng to accompany her for a walk in the garden. The maid came to report that Prince Rong was here.

Prince Rong has never been to the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, so he must have visited the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Ouyang Sheng and Ye Yuxiao looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.

Ye Yuxiao called Xiaozhan in and helped her get dressed and get out of bed. Ouyang Sheng hesitated but did not object.

When the two of them arrived in the hall, King Rong immediately stood up from his chair. His face was ashen and dejected. It would be an exaggeration to describe him as if he were mourning for his concubine. When Ouyang Sheng saw him like this, he felt bad and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has Your Highness just come from the palace?"

Prince Rong nodded: "My uncle Xinning Hou has been escorted into the palace, and the emperor is interrogating him personally."

Sure enough, sure enough, her previous ominous premonition became a fact. Ye Yuxiao suddenly felt a little out of breath and quickly held Ouyang Sheng's arm.

Ouyang Sheng suddenly panicked and asked urgently: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

She wasn't uncomfortable, she was angry. Ye Yuxiao waved his hand: "Hurry up and let him tell you what's going on."

Ouyang Sheng helped her sit down on the chair and made sure that she was okay before signaling Prince Rong to continue speaking.

King Rong said dejectedly: "Yesterday, Dong Yuan and Mrs. Kong detected the ingredients in Zhengzhi's stomach that could cause people to panic and die. But the strange thing is that there was no medicinal juice in Zhengzhi's stomach. There was only milk. The emperor immediately ordered people to interrogate Zheng Zhi’s wet nurse. It turned out that his wet nurse had been bribed by Xin Ning Hou. It was Xin Ning Hou who made her take the medicine first and then breastfeed Zheng Zhi. Xin Ning Hou The dosage of the medicine is just right. After taking it, the nursing mother will only feel flustered and uncomfortable, but if the child takes it, he will die soon."

Zhengzhi, is that the little prince’s name? How old is he? He still drinks milk? But this was obviously not the time to criticize this matter. Ye Yuxiao held his forehead and asked King Rong: "Is this really what Xinning Hou did?"

"I think it is him." Prince Rong said with a mournful face, "He once told me that he must come up with some means to give an explanation to Pingnan Prince's Palace, otherwise Pingnan Prince's Palace and Yingchuan Prince's Palace will alienate me. . But I never expected that the method he mentioned was to murder Zhengzhi."

"In order to give an explanation to Pingnan Prince's Palace?" Ye Yuxiao was so angry that he wanted to smash the tea cup, but thinking that the tea cup belonged to his own family, he held back, "He killed the little prince, even if he killed Pingnan Prince's Palace, he wanted to smash the tea cup. Did you explain? The people who instigated Shi Yuan at the beginning were Cai Jie and Liang Concubine, why didn't he settle the score with them?"

Ouyang Sheng also felt that Xin Ninghou's "explanation" was really unacceptable: "Prince Rong, please forgive me for speaking frankly. You are the only one who benefited from Xin Ninghou getting rid of the little prince."

"No, no, no, I don't know about this matter at all. This matter has nothing to do with me." King Rong waved his hands repeatedly.

"Then why didn't you ask clearly when Marquis Xin Ning said he was going to resort to tricks?" Ouyang Sheng didn't think King Rong was innocent at all, only that he was extremely incompetent. "Do you know that no matter what Marquis Xin Ning did, Will the emperor put this debt on your head? He kept saying it was to give an explanation to Pingnan Palace, and he even dragged us all into the water!"

Faced with the furious Ouyang Sheng, King Rong did not dare to say a word.

Ye Yuxiao sympathized a little with King Rong. In fact, he was not bad, but he was unlucky enough to join the emperor's family, and his own qualifications were too mediocre. But she felt that what Ouyang Sheng said was quite right: "Prince Rong, when you first noticed that something was wrong, you should have dissuaded Xin Ninghou. I know that the good concubine is not a good person, but the little prince is your biological brother. "

After hearing this, King Rong suddenly raised his head and said, "Hour Xin Ning once told me that Zhengzhi is not my brother."

What? Ye Yuxiao and Ouyang Sheng were both stunned.
