Emperor Yinde carefully held the fifth prince in his arms, fearing that he would hurt the child due to his strong strength.

But feeling that the child was no longer breathing, Emperor Yinde looked up and didn't speak for a long time.

His child was already gone before he even had time to take a look at the world.

"Have a good time making arrangements for the fifth prince's funeral. Tell Qiao Jieyu to have a good rest. Everyone, follow me to the main hall."

Emperor Yinde took one last look at the child and ordered Li Fuhai to carry the fifth prince down.

In a few days, it will be the death anniversary of Prince Chongheng Shen Chengjin. At this time, Emperor Yinde lost another child.

Sitting on the soft couch in the main hall, Emperor Yinde finally couldn't hold it back and a tear rolled down his face.

Su Qingyao stood aside and watched this scene. She didn't know whether Emperor Yinde was feeling sorry for the fifth prince or Prince Chongheng at this moment.

"Why did the fourth prince come out so smoothly, but the fifth prince was stillborn? How did you take care of him?" Emperor Yin De was angry, and who wouldn't be afraid?

In the main hall of Xinran Palace, the palace servants serving Qiao Jieyu, the nuns who delivered the baby tonight, and the imperial doctors knelt on the ground, all of them trembling.

The fifth prince is gone and His Majesty is angry. It will definitely be slaves like them who suffer. His Majesty's direct burial of them is considered a light thing.

Caiju has been serving Qiao Jieyu since she was a child. At this time, she actually told the truth, "Your Majesty, our mistress suddenly started to act, because the mistress is about to give birth, and all the things for the birth have been prepared in advance. , and checked it three times, there is absolutely no problem.”

"The young master entered the delivery room and gave birth to His Highness the Fourth Prince within a short time. But at this moment, the young master suddenly lost his strength and His Highness the Fifth Prince could not come out. Then..."

Caiju lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, "Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for our little master. I have been serving you the whole time. I feel it is very strange, but there is nothing I can do."

Caiju kowtowed several times, but her tears never stopped.

"Is Qiao Jieyu born prematurely?" Concubine De asked.

"Yes, it's at least ten days until my little master reaches full term," Caiju replied.

"My concubine was also born half a month prematurely, but Ozawa is very healthy. If it was caused by premature birth, why is the fourth prince so healthy?" Liu Jieyu said, she did not want to involve the premature birth.

Seeing Emperor Yin De nodding, Liu Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard from Hui Zhaoyuan that Prince Chongheng was also born half a month prematurely, and Emperor Yinde, who was a new father, was extremely worried.

"Where's Li Fuhai? Why haven't you finished checking it yet?"

After everyone came out of the side hall, Emperor Yinde ordered Li Fuhai to take the people in front of him to inspect all the items used by Qiao Jieyu.

When Emperor Yin De said this, Li Fuhai was about to come in and reply.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have already taken people to check everything in the side hall of Xinran Palace, and found nothing strange."

"Trash!" Emperor Yinde shouted angrily, and he smashed the tea cup in the middle of the hall.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Everyone in the palace fell to their knees again.

"If nothing is found, let's drag everyone to Ye Ting for trial." Emperor Yin De didn't want to give in, but his child must not leave in such an unclear way.

There was another cry for mercy in the hall. Emperor Yin De frowned and waved his hand to Li Fuhai to pull everyone down.

Then he saw a little palace maid foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, and Li Fuhai immediately stepped forward to check, "Your Majesty, this little palace maid committed suicide by taking poison."

"Your Majesty, this is the palace maid arranged by Empress Chongyuan when our young master was promoted to Jieyu. I didn't expect that she seemed to be quite loyal, but her thoughts were so vicious." Caiju's last words directly related this matter. The target of the attack was Qin Chongyuan, the head of Xinran Palace.

"How outrageous!" Qin Chongyuan roared angrily, "When Eunuch Liu asked your master to choose the maid to serve, I was not in Xinran Palace at all. This little maid was either left behind by your master, or you are the big maid. What does the decision to leave behind have anything to do with me!"

Qin Chongyuan glared at Caiju, "If you dare to slander anyone again, I will send you to Ye Ting first."

Qin Chongyuan felt that it was extremely unlucky. She and Qiao Jieyu had not gotten along for a long time, and they were about to move out of Xinran Palace, so she had to bite her.

Caiju didn't dare to speak any more and just knelt on the ground. She didn't want to die like that. She still had to serve her master and little master.

"Li Fuhai, take everyone down and lock them up first. You all can go. I will accompany Qiao Jieyu."

Emperor Yinde sighed, stood up and walked to the side hall.

In the opinion of some people, Emperor Yinde did not want to interrogate this matter for the time being, but Su Qingyao didn't think so. She felt that Emperor Yinde was going to use the secret guards.

In the side hall of Xinran Palace, Qiao Jieyu still didn't wake up. Emperor Yinde asked Wu Yuanxuan to check her pulse again.

"Your Majesty, Master Qiao is out of danger. He will wake up early tomorrow morning at the latest. He was poisoned just now, so he is weak. I have detoxified him."

Emperor Yinde nodded lightly, "Qiao Jieyu's body has been taken care of recently. Be careful. I will ask Li Fuhai to send you back."

Emperor Yinde waved his hand, signaling Wu Yuan to go back.

There was silence in the Xinran Palace until Emperor Yin De said, "An Yi, go and check this matter."

"My subordinates will obey my orders, and my master will be at ease."

As soon as An Yi accepted the order, he would first go to the House of Internal Affairs to investigate the family background of the little palace maid to see if she had been threatened.

Emperor Yinde returned to the Yangxin Hall very late and lay on the bed. His mind was full of the image of the fifth prince "sleeping peacefully". He could not fall asleep for a long time.

During the morning court, Emperor Yinde also had a gloomy face throughout the whole process. The ministers also knew what happened, and they were all frightened, for fear of offending His Majesty.

With Li Fuhai's words, "Quit the court!" The morning court finally ended, and Emperor Yin De walked away directly.

"Brother, do you want to go to the Yangxin Hall to see His Majesty?" Shangguan Xiaolin was behind Gu Wenkang and patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Wenkang turned around and sighed slightly, "Let's wait until the afternoon. I happen to have a few memorials to sort out in the morning."

Shangguan Xiaolin nodded, "That brother happened to be going to my house for tea in the afternoon."

The two were about to leave, but they saw Qiao Shangshu hurriedly going to meet the saint.

"Where are you going, Mr. Qiao?" Shangguan Xiaolin stood directly in front of Qiao Shangshu, blocking his way.

Seeing that there was no memorial in his hand, Shangguan Xiaolin knew more clearly the purpose of his meeting with the saint.

"I want to go to Yangxin Hall, does His Highness also want to take care of it?" Qiao Shangshu said to Shangguan Xiaolin.

Nowadays, no one who meets Shangguan Xiaolin can call him Shangguan General, but Qiao Shangshu is simply arrogant.

Qiao Shangshu dared to shout even the previous Shangguan Prime Minister, let alone Shangguan Xiaolin?
