Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Senior Sun, are you saying that someone in this palace is using a mother's voodoo to control the prince, and that's why the prince's health deteriorates so rapidly?"

Jiang Lianzhu finally understood the meaning of Sun Qi's words.

"Yes."

Sun Qi answered affirmatively.

"Not only that, the mother Gu is still alive."

The mother Gu is alive.

This means that the people who harmed His Highness the Crown Prince were not Prime Minister Xiao’s family. Now, Prime Minister Xiao’s family has been slaughtered, leaving no one except Xiao Xiyan.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan realized what Sun Qi's words meant at the same time.

"Senior Sun, if a person is pregnant with the mother-gu in your mouth, how will he react?"

Jiang Lianzhu wants to get clues from Sun Qi to track down the murderer who poisoned His Royal Highness behind the scenes!

"The child voodoo and the mother voodoo are one and the same. The other party planted the child vood in His Highness the Prince's body. He himself needs to use his own blood to nourish the mother voodoo. On that day, that person activated the mother voodoo and forced the child voodoo to explode. Death, this move will not only put the prince in a state of suspended animation, but he himself will also suffer losses."

"In addition, because the child voodoo is connected to the mother voodoo, the pulse of the person who inflicted the infestation will be consistent with that of the Crown Prince. If I were to take the pulse of someone in the palace, I would definitely be able to find out who was responsible for the infestation!"

Sun Qi is very confident in his medical skills.

Of course, as a medical saint, he said this because he had the confidence.

"I know who the poisoner is!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sun Qi finished speaking, Jiang Lianzhu suddenly realized.

"Mrs. Liao, do you really know who poisoned Gu?"

The prince also asked quickly.

He has been suffering from the harm of poison for so many years. If he hadn't happened to meet the old medical sage, he might have died tragically in the imperial mausoleum.

"The person with the mother's poison may be Concubine Xi."

Jiang Lianzhu lowered her eyebrows and told everything she knew.

"When His Highness the Crown Prince passed away that day, Concubine Xi vomited blood on the spot. I originally thought that Concubine Xi was just too sad, but then I heard that Senior Sun said that the child Gu exploded and died, and the mother Gu would also be damaged as a result, and I realized Why did Concubine Daoxi vomit blood at that time?"

"Besides that, Concubine Xi and His Highness the Crown Prince have the same pulse. I saw these with my own eyes. That day, after Concubine Xi vomited blood, His Majesty was concerned about Concubine Xi's health and ordered me to go and treat Concubine Xi. At that time, I I discovered something strange, but I don’t know why Concubine Xi has the same pulse as you, the Crown Prince."

What Jiang Lianzhu said had already confirmed Sun Qi's conjecture.

"Those who benefited most from the death of His Highness the Crown Prince were the Third Prince and Concubine Xi. Now, the eldest prince has been reprimanded and no longer has a chance to take the throne. Because of the blow His Majesty suffered, he has now let the third prince supervise the country."

Liao Yunchuan added.

The person who ultimately benefits the most from something is the mastermind behind it.

Now it seems that the third prince and Concubine Xi are the real beneficiaries of the poisoning of the prince.

"It's just that I don't understand. According to Senior Sun, if Concubine Xi waits for another two months and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passes away naturally, then the matter will be foolproof. Why would she suddenly activate Zi Gu at this time? "

If there was a better, safer and more concealed way to get everything she wanted, why would Concubine Xi take such a desperate risk?

This move is really too dangerous.

After Jiang Lianzhu spoke, His Highness the Crown Prince, who was frowning at the side, spoke.

"I know why Concubine Xi would activate Zi Gu at this time, because the envoys of the Yue Kingdom and their princess Alenna are going to Beijing for a marriage ceremony."

The prince has been taught how to become the king of a country since he was a child, so he can immediately see the twists and turns behind it.

"When Alena enters the capital, my father is old and must choose a marriage partner from among the princes. I have been poisoned by Concubine Xi, and I will not be selected by the Invitation Moon Kingdom. Therefore, the only one who may be selected is Alenna. The only person suitable for marriage is the eldest brother."

"Concubine Xi is worried that the eldest brother will have the ability to compete with the third prince if he invites the support of Princess Yue."

"She neither wants the eldest brother to marry the princess, nor does she want the princess to become the concubine of the third brother. Under such circumstances, if someone in the royal family dies, then the princess' marriage will naturally have to be postponed for one year."

The death of a prince is a national mourning. No weddings or funerals are allowed in the royal family for one year.

"The imperial concubine is really good at calculating."

Liao Yunchuan said with emotion.

The strategy of killing two birds with one stone naturally led Concubine Xi to rashly detonate the poison in His Highness the Crown Prince's body.

"Your Highness, since we now know the plans of Concubine Xi and the Third Prince, for the sake of your safety, why not follow the minister back to Lihua Garden. There are heavy troops guarding there. Is it safer than the Taoist Temple?"

Liao Yunchuan was worried about the prince's safety and warned him.

"it is good."

The reason why the prince used a trick to trick people today was to get Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu to help him.

that night.

The prince and the medical sage Sun Qi returned to Lihua Garden.

Day two.

Liao Yunchuan quietly brought the prince and the medical sage into the palace. His Majesty, who was recuperating in the palace, suddenly saw the prince and burst into tears.

In order to prevent the secret that the prince was still alive from being exposed, Liao Yunchuan briefly informed his majesty about the prince's encounter with the medical saint.

The emperor was naturally furious.

After everything was explained, Jiang Lianzhu requested an order to take Sun Qi into the Imperial Concubine Xi's Palace to investigate the poisonous matter in the name of visiting a sick person.

His Majesty also wanted to know the truth, so he did not stop him.

As soon as Jiang Lianzhu took Sun Qi to Concubine Xi's palace, the Gu Emperor on him reacted, and Sun Qi gave Jiang Lianzhu a look.

Jiang Lianzhu understood.

"Miss Fenxiang, Your Majesty is worried about Concubine Xi's health, and has specially ordered me to bring the old doctor here to diagnose and treat Concubine Xi, and please let me know."

Fennel went to reply.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Xi became even more unwell because of the Gu Emperor. She was worried that others would notice her strangeness, so she closed the door and thanked the guests.

"Tell Jiang Lianzhu that I am fine and do not need to visit. Also, find an opportunity for the third prince to come see me!"

"Yes."

Holding the letter, Fenxiang sent Jiang Lianzhu and Sun Qi away in front of the palace gate.

Such unusual behavior had already confirmed their suspicions.

Now that His Majesty knows about Concubine Xi's vicious methods, he is naturally wary of her and the third prince in his heart, but his face remains unchanged.

It's business as usual.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was ordered to lead troops in the border areas later in the year, and Princess Alenna of the Moon Kingdom also arrived in the capital as scheduled.

It was a national mourning for the prince and it was not appropriate to mention the marriage, so his majesty named Alenna the princess of Heshuo.

The dignified princess of the country has now become the princess of Heshuo. This is naturally dissatisfying to Alena.

"Tell the third prince that I want to see him!"
