417 Find out the truth(1/2)
Seeing this, Emperor Wen of Wei and Sun Ying felt something was wrong. They hurriedly stepped forward. Before they could speak, they saw Eunuch Li raise his head with tears on his face and look at Emperor Wen of Wei sadly.
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince, he has gone."
Emperor Wen of Wei staggered and almost fainted.
Sun Ying reached out his hand in time to catch Emperor Wen of Wei and said worriedly: "Emperor, you must be mourning! The Great Wei cannot be without you!"
Emperor Wen of Wei held Sun Ying's arm and waved his hand, "I'm fine, go to Huayang Palace quickly."
If you die, you will die. Even if Emperor Wen of Wei, the emperor's father, arrived, it would be useless. When Emperor Wen of Wei saw the body of the fifth prince, he could no longer bear it and fell to the ground.
The imperial physicians quickly treated Emperor Wen of Wei, and after several silver needles were inserted, Emperor Wen of Wei quickly woke up.
"Check it out for me to find out what's going on."
Emperor Wen of Wei was angry, so the people below naturally did not dare to delay any more, and they all shrank their necks and pretended to be quails.
It is not their ability to find out that the fifth prince is sick. They don’t have the ability and cannot get involved. It’s better to stay honestly at this time, so as not to annoy the emperor’s head moving.
The commander of the Dragon Guard investigated for three days and found it almost done. The most suspicious person was the imperial concubine.
The fifth prince stayed with Queen Feng during the day, and there was someone accompanying him at all times. At night, the imperial concubine was accompanied. Only during this period of time did the fifth prince have no outsiders, so it was very likely that the imperial concubine gave the fifth prince the doll.
As for the wet nurse, she doesn't have time to stay alone with the fifth prince. She only sits aside and watches when the fifth prince sleeps. Sometimes it is not necessarily her, maybe it's someone else. The key is that the relationship between the fifth prince and the wet nurse is not very good. The fifth prince is not very dependent on the wet nurse and will not hide the doll for her sake, so the most likely one is the imperial concubine.
The commander of the Dragon Guard followed this line and finally found that around the New Year, the imperial concubine's family had entered the palace to see the imperial concubine and brought her a piece of clothing. The clothes were not very exquisite, but they were sewn by the imperial concubine's mother. The people below naturally could not stop them to please the imperial concubine. Moreover, it was normal for the imperial concubine's family to give the imperial concubine things and money to the imperial concubine, so they didn't even think about it elsewhere.
It would be fine if it was just like this, but it was suspected that after the clothes were sent to the palace, the imperial concubine was put away by himself. Not long after, the people who served the imperial concubine were almost forgotten, and the clothes disappeared.
After hearing the report from the commander of the Dragon Guard, Emperor Wen of Wei frowned, "What else?"
The commander of the Yulong Guard did not hide it and continued: "Also, the subordinates found that the noble concubine... The family of the noble master lived in Mozhou. Two years ago, Mozhou was drought. Prince Duan was in Mozhou. Because Duan Wang,..., he did not do anything, and the disaster was serious. There were countless people who died of drought, but no one noticed that during this drought, there were seven children in a village who died of hunger, but they died of smallpox."
If he went further, the Commander of the Dragon Guard did not say anything. He lowered his head and waited for Emperor Wen of Wei's orders.
Even if he didn't say anything, Emperor Wen of Wei understood.
The fifth prince cannot get infected with smallpox for no reason. If he uses clothes or items worn by people who have dyed smallpox, it will be different. People who have not dyed smallpox will definitely get infected, especially for children. Children have too weak resistance, and a cold wind may kill him, let alone smallpox.
This is a carefully planned situation, and the purpose is to want the fifth prince to die, but why? She is the fifth prince's biological mother! She just hates her son so much?
Emperor Wen of Wei really couldn't figure it out and wanted to ask her in person, but now there is insufficient evidence. The doll with smallpox has not been found yet, so he has to bear it anymore.
"Continue to check and find that dress or that doll."
If he guessed correctly, the doll must have been changed from that dress, and now what he wants is evidence.
The commander of the Dragon Guard was about to go down, Emperor Wen of Wei thought for a while and said, "She wants to change her clothes into dolls, but she can't find them yet. She will definitely sew them by hand. Go and ask those palace maids, expensive people... people, have she asked them for needlework or lacked needlework."
There are all kinds of things used in each palace. If she wants to sew things, she must ask them from the palace maids, otherwise she has to steal them. No matter which one it is, there will definitely be less needle and thread.
The commander of the Dragon Guard understood as soon as he heard it, bowed to Emperor Wen of Wei expressionlessly, and retreated.
Emperor Wen of Wei was lying on the recliner, closing his eyes and rubbing his forehead. Behind him was the body of the fifth prince, and there were more than a dozen imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital kneeling under his feet. These people were naturally afraid that they did not save the fifth prince. At this time, they all knelt on the ground without saying anything, and felt bitter as if they had eaten Huanglian.
It’s not that they don’t want to save it, but that they are powerless. The fifth prince’s illness was too sudden and the illness came like a mountain. But it won’t work in three days. It didn’t work if they took a lot of medicine. It was as if someone continued to drug the fifth prince. No matter how many antidotes they used, it wouldn’t work!
The Imperial Hospital was lying on the ground and thinking for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out.
After the efforts of these doctors over the years, smallpox can not be cured, but as long as the right medicine is protected, there is still 30% hope. However, the fifth prince seemed to have no hope. The medicine they gave was not affordable. After taking more than a dozen doses of medicine, they took their pulses for a while, wondering if they had broken the wrong disease, but one broke the wrong, two broke the wrong, three, four, five broke the wrong? This is impossible!
The Imperial Hospital's hospital was frowning so hard that it could kill a mosquito. It was so sad that it became ten years older.
The same is true for other imperial physicians. There is only one younger imperial physician who is smart, especially after hearing the conversation between the commander of the Dragon Guard and Emperor Wen of Wei, he thought more.
If the commander of the Dragon Guard said that it was the imperial concubine, no, it was the noble lord who drugged the fifth prince and made dolls with clothes with smallpox virus for the fifth prince to play with. Now the doll is gone again, and the fifth prince is gone so soon. Did it mean that the doll is not missing, but they just ignored it?
The young imperial physician quietly looked up at Emperor Wen of Wei, and saw that he was closing his eyes to rest, so he quietly swept around him.
I looked at it all the way around, and the young imperial physician also showed a puzzled expression on his face.
No! There is no place to hide things in this room.
The young imperial physician thought that the fifth prince had never searched the room, so he looked carefully, but after looking around, he didn't find anything suspicious, and then frowned and lowered his head.
Just as he lowered his head, he looked at the collapse of the bed where the fifth prince was sleeping.
The bed collapsed around it and was covered with green Shu brocade, and the bottom was empty.
The young imperial physician blinked, then suddenly raised his head and boldly looked at the bed where the fifth prince was sleeping.
Sun Ying stood on the side and half-closed her eyes, thinking about how to plead for the dozen or so doctors who were still kneeling, giving them and the emperor a step and letting them go. But as he thought about it, he saw the young imperial physician staring around. He frowned and thought about a way to remind him, but suddenly he opened his eyes wide and looked at the fifth prince's bed collapse. He felt something was wrong, so he quickly turned around and looked at the fifth prince's bed collapse.
There is nothing! What are you looking at?
Sun Ying was confused, but he didn't say anything, and turned around and looked at the young imperial physician.
The young imperial physician knelt down again, but he just stared at the fifth prince's bed from time to time.
Sun Ying thought about it and lowered his body and half lie in Emperor Wen of Wei's ear, "Your Majesty, I don't seem to be right when I see that young imperial physician."
Emperor Wen of Wei immediately opened his eyes, and a sharp look suddenly appeared. A sharp gaze swept to the kneeling imperial physicians, and found the person he was looking for.
"you."
Emperor Wen of Wei suddenly spoke, and the imperial physicians became even more frightened and their bodies were lying lower.
Emperor Wen of Wei frowned slightly, and did not look at the others, but said to the young imperial physician: "The imperial physician in blue court robes."
All the imperial physicians subconsciously glanced at the color of their clothes, but then the imperial physicians twitched the corners of their mouths, with helpless eyes.
Master, we are afraid, can we not scare us? What are you trying to do? Can't you name it? Why do you want to say the color of the clothes? Didn't you see that we are wearing uniform clothing from the Imperial Hospital? Except for the purple ones that are worn by Master Yizheng, we are all wearing blue ones. How do you ask us to answer?
When Sun Ying saw it, he quickly explained to Emperor Wen of Wei, "The Emperor is asking Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, what are you talking about?"
The imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It was better to call them. Kneeling was better than losing their lives.
The young Doctor Zhang raised his head blankly and looked at Emperor Wen of Wei, then quickly lowered his head, "I am here."
Emperor Wen of Wei nodded, "What were you looking at just now? Come on the truth."
After hearing this, Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang finally knew why Emperor Wen of Wei called him. It turned out that he had discovered his innocence and looked around.
The Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Emperor Wen of Wei would "crack" him in anger, so his body trembled violently.
Emperor Wen of Wei frowned, knowing that he was afraid, but in order to know what he saw, he still asked patiently: "You tell me the truth, I won't do anything to you."
Doctor Xiao Zhang looked up and glanced at Emperor Wen of Wei again, and finally closed his eyes.
If you die, die. Anyway, he is now locked on his belt. The emperor will chop them up at any time. If he says it right, the emperor will let them go.
Thinking of this, Doctor Xiao Zhang kowtowed to Emperor Wen of Wei, "Emperor, Wei Me, I was sentenced to death. Wei Me, I heard the conversation between the emperor and the commander."
The conversation between Emperor Wen of Wei and the commander of the Dragon Guard did not avoid these imperial physicians at all. It was normal to hear it. Emperor Wen of Wei did not want to cause trouble for them, or rather, Emperor Wen of Wei did not blame them at all. Because he knew that smallpox was difficult to cure, he was able to survive in those days with his mother and his descendants' careful care and hard work of the imperial physicians. I don't know how much bitter medicine I drank to survive. It was reasonable for the fifth prince to die.
Emperor Wen of Wei didn't say anything, and the young imperial physician glanced at Emperor Wen of Wei nervously. Seeing that he was not angry, he became more courageous.
"Listen to the conversation between the emperor and the commander, I learned that it might be related to the clothes of the noble master, and it may be that the noble master changed the clothes into dolls for the fifth prince to play with. Now the doll is gone, and there is no trace inside and outside the Huayang Palace. After the fifth prince fell ill, the Huayang Palace was closed, so it was impossible for someone to take the doll out. Wei Chen was thinking, the clothes can be changed into dolls, so can the doll be changed into something else?"
Emperor Wen of Wei was in a panic and sat upright and looked at Doctor Xiao Zhang, "Continue."
When Doctor Xiao Zhang saw that Emperor Wen of Wei took it seriously, he was a little nervous, but more excited.
He had never talked to Emperor Wen of Wei alone, and he was even too young and had a short time to enter the Imperial Hospital. No matter how good the medical skills were, it would be impossible to take the pulse of Emperor Wen of Wei, Empress Jin and Empress Feng. These three giants would never hand over their lives to a young imperial physician, but it was different now. As long as he found evidence that the fifth prince was sick and died quickly, it would naturally make the three giants look at him with admiration, and then it would be his day to make his lead.
Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang sorted out his thoughts and continued: "Weichen just took a bold look at the emperor because he was afraid that the emperor would anger us. At this moment, we found that the fifth prince's bed was empty."
Emperor Wen of Wei frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed.
I searched under the bed, and this room was the key search target. I searched more than once inside and outside, but nothing was found.
Xiao Zhang's imperial physician was first-class in his opinion. When he saw Emperor Wen of Wei's expression of disappointment, he knew that the room must have been searched, so he continued: "Your Majesty, I have searched under the bed, what about the bed? Have you searched the things on the fifth prince's bed? His quilt, pillow, tent, all these things have been searched?"
Emperor Wen of Wei slightly relaxed his eyebrows and looked back at Sun Ying.
Sun Ying hurriedly lowered her body and whispered: "Master, after the fifth prince was sick, all these things have been replaced, and all the things they replaced have been checked, and nothing has been found."
Emperor Wen of Wei looked at Doctor Xiao Zhang again after hearing this.
The sweat on the forehead of Doctor Xiao Zhang was about to come down. He didn't expect that he didn't check anything after changing these things, and he couldn't help but start to worry about his life.
After thinking about it, Doctor Xiao Zhang asked again: "Master Sun, how dare you ask, all those things have been removed and investigated?"
Sun Ying nodded, "Yes, they were all demolished."
Doctor Xiao Zhang frowned, "No! It's not right! Emperor, can someone check it again? The fifth prince also disassembles all the things he uses now, and it's best to have someone who is good at needlework in the palace to check it."
Emperor Wen of Wei did not object and looked back at Sun Ying.
Sun Ying immediately understood what Emperor Wen of Wei meant and walked out quickly.
After a while, several palace servants came in. They first put the fifth prince on the floor where the bedding was laid, then took off all the things the fifth prince used, and then carried the fifth prince back to the bed, and quickly went out with a bunch of things.
After all the people who came, Emperor Wen of Wei walked to the bed of the fifth prince, quietly staring at the son who was too short of his fate with him, sighed silently in his heart, and finally showed fatigue.
Sun Ying was not in the house, and the remaining imperial physicians were all kneeling on the ground. No one noticed Emperor Wen of Wei's expression, so his pain at this moment was well covered up and it was not noticed.
More than half an hour later, the search resulted in the heart-wrenching search of Dr. Xiao Zhang.
Sun Ying and the commander of the Yulong Guard knelt on the ground to report to Emperor Wen of Wei who was facing everyone's back.
"Your Majesty, I found out that the Shangyi Bureau sent five people to inspect. I found a small amount of old cotton in the quilt of His Highness. These cotton ginseng were mixed under the new cotton. It was impossible to see if you didn't look carefully. The palace used new cotton for the master, so there was no old one, so the two quilts were all tampered with each other.
There is also the pillow of the fifth prince. The two pillows have cut cloth wires. They are real cloth wires, one by one, thinner than the hair. If it weren't for the large number, it wouldn't be seen at all."
