Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 298 How did the father die?

From Chang Sheng's point of view, he really didn't want to cause any complications.

At least, he didn't want any accidents before Zhu Yunxie was crowned the grandson of the emperor.

After hearing Chang Sheng's words, Zhu Yunxi felt as if he had been enlightened.

"Yep!"

"Grandpa Huang likes me so much, as long as I find evidence, he will definitely uphold justice for me!"

Chang Sheng had a helpless wry smile on his face when he heard Zhu Yunxie's childish words.

From his and Zhu Yunxi's point of view, even if the Lu family did nothing, it would make them extremely uncomfortable, and they wanted to get rid of it quickly.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, the Lu family is also the daughter-in-law of his family and the biological mother of his three grandchildren.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang favored his eldest nephew, how could he deal with the Lu family because of a trivial matter?

What's more, dead people can't speak.

Unless it can be proved that the prince's death is related to the Lu family, there is no way to get rid of him through normal means.

It's just that someone as smart as the Lu family would attack the prince?

You know, only when the crown prince is alive, can she be valuable as a crown princess, and her son can occupy the most noble position.

Chang Sheng is not good at strategy, but the truth of this can still be seen clearly.

As for the evidence just mentioned, it was just perfunctory to the elder nephew, let him settle down, and don't make any troubles.

How can there be evidence for some things? Even if there was evidence at the time, it must have been wiped out after more than ten years.

"Nephew, let's go back."

"Sleep well and don't take the past too seriously."

"Just remember one thing now, make your grandpa happy, and then ascend to the position of grandson smoothly!"

"As long as you can do this, Concubine Yu's spirit in heaven will be able to rest in peace!"

"Do you rest in peace?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words "Spirit of the Heaven", he felt nervous for a while, and couldn't help thinking that he was a counterfeit.

It's just that he has been a fake for too long, and he has gradually forgotten that he is not real, and has even accepted everything in this body.

"If I can avenge my concubine, will my concubine like me and accept me..."

Zhu Yunxi was talking to himself, and didn't expect to get any answer.

In fact, the reason why he was so obsessed with Chang's death was because he wanted to do something for Chang, and then enjoy everything in front of him with peace of mind.

When Chang Sheng heard his nephew say this, he touched Zhu Yunxi's head distressedly and said.

"Of course it is!"

"But we are not in a hurry, as long as you can sit in that seat in the future, it will be easy for you to avenge the concubine mother..."

"Uh-huh!"

"I understand!"

"I'm going back to the palace!"

Hearing what Zhu Yunxi said, Chang Sheng happily picked him up and walked outside, met Princess Ningguo and others, and returned to Beijing.

As for the mess in the Jingxin Nunnery, he will not be in charge, he only needs to send Zhu Yunxie back to the palace without a single strand of hair.

The four princesses and their respective mothers and concubines burst into heart-piercing cries again. What they were crying was that the reunion was too short, and goodbye was far away.

But it was also crying, and the mothers and concubines of the princesses were full of joy and infinite comfort.

Because the four princesses have a good brother, this brother not only invited them the best master of Ming Dynasty, but also found them a separate palace in the palace, and invited a concubine with no heirs in the harem to sit in the town and take charge Take care of their diet and daily life, as well as discipline and upbringing.

In this way, when the four of them get married in the future, there is a high probability that they will be treated like princesses, and each of them will be able to find a good husband and live a peaceful life.

"Sister Chen, sister Zhang, let's go back."

"The third grandson is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. He will definitely treat the little princesses well and choose a good husband for them."

"My sister is only worried about one thing now. The uncle of the third emperor is too fierce. He will scare the brothers-in-law of several sisters, hehehe..."

Because Li Ning had an agreement with Zhu Yunxi, she was also full of hope and hope for the future, she laughed and joked about the crying concubines.

When they heard Concubine Li's words, they punched her angrily, and then dragged her back for interrogation.

Ever since they moved out of the Prince's Mansion, they got along very well with each other.

Because they no longer need to be jealous to win over a man, and they don't have to attack each other to please Mrs. Lu.

Although the life in Jingxin Nunnery was very poor, the twenty or so old people from the Prince's Mansion lived a certain degree of equality and easy-going.

After all, in the Jingxin Nunnery, Guanyin is the boss, and these side concubines are just one of the equality of all living beings.

Concubine Chen grabbed Li Ning to her room and questioned her forcefully.

"Say!"

"Did you set the fire in the kitchen?"

"Our Jingxin nunnery only has such a kitchen. If you burn the kitchen down, shall we eat raw rice at night?"

Li Ning was not annoyed when she heard that, she touched Concubine Chen's stomach with a smile and said.

"It just so happens that Sister Chen's stomach is strong, and she gave birth to a daughter with such a sign, wouldn't it be just right to give us raw rice and cooked rice?"

When Concubine Chen heard that Concubine Li was so dishonest, she was also amused by this rambunctious hoof.

"up to you!"

"Anyway, if you cook tonight, it won't taste good, and we won't obey you!"

"Good good!"

"My sister obeyed. Even if it's me and mud, I will repair the kitchen and prepare a decent dinner for my sisters, hahaha..."

Concubine Chen smiled lightly when she saw what Li Ning said.

"You are still young, if you can go out, you must live well for us..."

"We are doomed not to get out, and this is the only way in this life..."

Concubine Li suddenly heard this, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Actually, the third emperor's grandson is a good person. As long as the third emperor's grandson can become the emperor, he may not let the sisters live..."

Concubine Chen sighed.

"We are different, I have children, I can't shame my daughter..."

"Hey……"

Seeing Chen Fei say this, Li Ning didn't know for a while whether to be thankful that she had no child, or to be sad for her aborted child.

But one thing is for sure, that is, she believes in the third grandson.

As long as Sanhuangsun believes in his words and finds evidence that Lu's poisonous woman murdered Chang's, Sanhuangsun is such a loving person, he will definitely save himself from here!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news that the great grandson was returning to the palace, he subconsciously glanced at the big clock in the Qianqing Palace. Seeing that the pointer was only placed in the middle, he felt a little puzzled.

According to his speculation, it would be too early for the eldest grandson to return to the palace before dark.

This grandson has always loved his younger sisters, how could he have the heart to let them separate from their respective mothers and concubines so early?

However, as long as the eldest grandson comes back, it's fine if you don't leave any excuses for outsiders.

"Has the grandson gone to the main hall?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as soon as the third grandson returned to the palace, he went to the Prince's Mansion, and then went to the Imperial Hospital..."

"Too hospital?"

"But it's related to the epidemic?"

"probably……"

"Then let him torment..."

Lao Zhu put down these words and continued to immerse himself in reviewing the memorial.

During this period of time, he pretended to be sick and accumulated a lot of government affairs. That Nisun is also a sneaky person who uses the excuse of being busy with the epidemic all day long, so he has no time to review the memorials.

Although Lao Zhu was full of complaints, he still couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought that his grandson had been hungry and thin during this time.

"Go and order the imperial dining room to add a few more dishes in the evening, so that our grandson can make up for it!"

"promise!"

On the other side, Zhu Yunxi went to the prince's mansion, bought the prince's daily life note from Wu Neiguan, plus two books of Tongshi, and rushed to the Taiyuan hospital in a hurry.

The imperial hospital has all the rules and regulations, and all the nobles in the palace take medicines, whether it is pulse diagnosis records or prescriptions, they are all well preserved.

Zhu Yunxi's status in the imperial hospital is at the level of "the most holy teacher" and enjoys the treatment of a saint.

Therefore, he said that he wanted to see the medical records of several people, and Hao Wenjie immediately found them out.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the description of the concubine's condition in the medical record, and his eyebrows gradually furrowed.

Looking at the above description, Chang's should have died of excessive blood loss after dystocia.

But she dragged on for too long, and it took two months before she died.

If it's just that he lost too much blood, his face should be pale, so where did the sallowness come from?

Also sometimes awake, sometimes confused, babbling constantly in dreams, bloodshot eyes, forgetful, incontinent...

These symptoms are the performance of heavy metal poisoning!

With suspicion, Zhu Yunxi pushed aside the tried medical case, and opened the medical case of his elder brother Zhu Xiongying.

Relatively speaking, the elder brother's medical case is much simpler.

Falling into the water, frightened too much.Palpitations are unavoidable, constant babbling in dreams, loss of control...

Judging from the description of the medical case, it is indeed quite similar to Chang's death.

Zhu Yunxi opened the prince's medical records again, and saw that there were also records of babbling and incontinence, and suddenly thought of something in his mind.

If all three of them were suffering from chronic lead poisoning, then this would make sense!

Lead was not uncommon in ancient times, and copper coins contained a lot of it.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was an official shortage of copper, and a large number of lead coins and iron coins were cast, which shows that these things have never been scarce.

It's just that the ancients didn't realize the danger of this thing.

Hao Wenjie stood beside Zhu Yunxi all the time, and saw him copying on the paper, and he copied all the key points, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Of the three medical records, two were written by his father, and one was written by him.

But the two of them only dared to write, not to speak.

Many things are obvious to physicians, but when it comes to palace struggles, which courtier dares to say it?

Therefore, they can only vaguely express their physician's position in this way.

But if nothing is done, it will violate the conscience of the doctor.Therefore, the father and son could only deliberately leave traces when writing medical records, hoping that people with discerning eyes could see the problem.

Zhu Yunxi showed the transcribed medical case to Ge Yuan judge, and Ge Yuan judge just glanced at it and said.

"Poisoned!"

"It's either mercury or lead. You can't escape both, or both."

"Third Emperor's grandson, where did you copy the medical records?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the foolish Ge Yuanjuan with a dignified expression.

"This is part of the medical records of my concubine mother, my brother, and my father..."

"what?"

Ge Yunqian glared at Hao Wenjie bitterly, secretly thinking that this guy didn't remind himself, isn't this pushing himself into the fire pit?
"The grandson of the three emperors calm down!"

"The humble job just said nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

"This kind of thing is far from something that can be seen in a few words in a medical record. It needs to be seen and heard..."

Ge Yunqian's words are nonsense, the three of them died more than ten years ago, and the short ones have already been buried in the ground, where is the body for him to see and hear.

However, he was just fooling the grandson, so that the grandson would stop thinking about it.

After Ge Yunqian said this, he also felt that it was a bit difficult to persuade Zhu Yunxi, so he had no choice but to persuade Zhu Yunxi.

"Son of the Three Emperors, I would like to advise you that now is not the time to investigate this matter."

"If there is no conclusive evidence, His Majesty will not help you. Moreover, even if the evidence is convincing, His Majesty will calm things down for the sake of the three... no, the two grandsons..."

"So, you might as well bear with it for a few more years, and wait...when the time is right, you can naturally find out the truth..."

After Ge Yunqian persuaded him, he gave Hao Wenjie a vicious look.

"Good old man!"

"You should say something, hurry up and persuade the grandson of the third emperor!"

"You father and son are similar. Since you didn't have the guts to stand up back then, you shouldn't have done this kind of trick!" Ge Yunqian quickly figured out the joints, and even guessed that Ge Yunqian's father was responsible for this.

Otherwise, even if Bian Que is still alive, it will be difficult for Zhu Yunxi to find clues through the three medical records.

Hao Wenjie was embarrassed by Ge Yunqian's look, and he also tried to persuade him.

"Third Emperor's grandson, now is really not the time. It would be better for you to take care of this matter in a few years at night."

Zhu Yunxi acted as if he hadn't heard it, and wrote down Ge Yuanju's judgment just now as his own analysis on the medical case. After finishing writing, he looked at the two of them and asked.

"There's something I don't quite understand, please explain it to me, both of you."

"Gu heard that after a woman's first child is delivered smoothly, there will be basically no dystocia for the second or third child?"

When the two heard this question, they all sighed in their hearts.

The grandson of the three emperors had some expert advice, but he asked the key point all at once.

"Reporting to the grandson of the third emperor, you are right. It is true that women give birth."

"Generally speaking, the first child of a woman is the most dangerous, because the pelvis has not yet grown up at that time, and the inside is narrow, and it is easy to have a difficult delivery."

"Relatively speaking, if the first child can be delivered smoothly, then there will basically be no difficult delivery for the second or third child."

"If there is... then it must be an accident..."

Zhu Yunxi took out Tongshi again and placed it in front of the two of them.

"Although as a son of man, it's a bit too much to look at the things of the father, but I want to ask why the number of father's offspring is getting thinner and thinner. After Zhu Yunxi was born, no one in the prince's mansion was conceived."

"Is this problem with the father, or someone else?"

"This one……"

Hao Wenjie and Ge Yunqian looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness on each other's faces.

This grandson is too good, isn't he able to dig out all these things?

"It's hard to say..."

"Two years before the death of Crown Prince Yiwen, his body was not very healthy and he often caught cold..."

Zhu Yunxi sneered when he heard the words.

"Then what's the matter with the favorite record on it?"

"I think that the last two years of the father's work were considered hardworking. He worked very hard on the concubines in the Prince's Mansion. How come there is no result at all?"

After Hao Wenjie and Ge Yunqian heard this, they were so embarrassed that they wished they could dig out three rooms and one living room on the ground, then hide in and never come out again.

The grandson of the Three Emperors is too daring to ask, right?

But he dared to ask, but neither of us dared to say it!

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to retreat to the next best thing.

"You two don't have to talk, but if I'm right, you both have to nod. If I'm wrong, you both shake your heads."

"My father's health was already very poor two years before his death?"

The two nodded in unison.

Seeing the two of them, Zhu Yunxi nodded and continued to ask.

"Didn't the cause be found out at the time?"

The two nodded again.

"Now it seems that he must have been poisoned by lead and mercury, which destroyed the kidney water, which caused the subsequent reaction, right?"

The two hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

In fact, His Royal Highness has always been in good health, as can be seen from the reproduction of his offspring in the early years.

Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Yunxie are not very different in age.

Not to mention one son a year, it's not too much.

However, after the Lu family became the crown princess, the prince's heirs suddenly became more difficult. In ten years, there were only two sons, both of whom belonged to the crown princess Lu.

This is a bit strange in itself, could it be that there are so many concubines in the Prince's Mansion, and there is only such a good piece of land as Lu's?
It's just that even if these courtiers find out about this kind of thing, they can't say it casually without evidence.

Once it is said, not only will the royal family not accept their favor, but they will also kill them to silence them.

In other words, Zhu Yunxi asked them, otherwise they would just change someone, even the old emperor, and they would not mention a word.

Zhu Yunxi asked the two of them a few more questions, and after copying them down in detail on the medical record, he bowed to them and left.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly returned the gift, and then watched Zhu Yunxi leave until he disappeared from sight before daring to straighten up.

"Old man, you may have caused a big disaster this time!"

Hao Wenjie listened to Court Judge Ge's complaint, and smiled helplessly.

"I didn't expect the third emperor's grandson to be so shrewd and to discover the clue so quickly."

Judge Ge Yuan also sighed when he heard the words, but then realized something was wrong.

Even if poisoning can be thought of at the age of the third emperor's grandson, it is absolutely impossible to think of the woman giving birth?

After all, he has no such experience.

"I heard that the grandson of the third emperor went to vaccinate the women in the meditation nunnery today?"

"That should be the case. When Concubine Li was still in the palace, she often came to inquire about her. Both in and out of her words, she intended to point her sword at Lu."

"If the grandson of the third emperor listened to Concubine Li's words, it would not be surprising that he would have such thoughts."

"Concubine Li?"

Court Judge Ge smiled when he heard the words, he had checked Concubine Li's pulse and had a certain understanding of this woman.

"Concubine Li's network is not simple. She is strong, temperamental, and has so much desire... She is not a woman who keeps her duty."

"The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't bear Shen Ke has something to do with the stunner Li Concubine..."

"Piansheng Concubine Li was injured in her early years, and it has been difficult to conceive an heir. Otherwise, the identity of the mistress of the Eastern Palace might have changed hands long ago, hehehe..."
