Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Grandma Jia is dead!

One morning in the early spring of February, Zhou Miao sent a little beggar to deliver a message to Gu Jiu.

Nanny Jia didn't return all night and was later found drowned in the well.

The man was dead, and no trauma was found on his body.

Appears to have committed suicide by jumping into a well.

Empress Dowager Xiao was a little sad.

The Ai family never treated her harshly, nor wronged her. She is an old man around the Ai family. The Ai family will definitely support her and make her old age carefree. The Ai family can't figure out how she would jump into a well and commit suicide. Could it be that the Ai family Did you break her heart without knowing it?

Don't think about it, mother, it's just an accident.

Empress Dowager Xiao was heartbroken and in poor health. Emperor Wende came to the Compassionate Palace to visit.

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, Maybe it was really an accident. My old eyes are dim, and when it gets dark, I can't see clearly. I accidentally stepped on the air and fell down. Sigh, there are fewer and fewer old people around Ai's family.

Emperor Wende said: I will order someone to bury Nanny Jia generously, so don't worry about the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, and said sadly: She is alone, has no family, no nephews, not even a descendant of a priest. Poor!

Emperor Wen De accompanied Empress Dowager Xiao and sighed.

Older people are always more sad when facing death.

Empress Dowager Xiao was extremely tired and fell asleep quickly.

Emperor Wende got up and walked out of the Compassion Palace.

Liu Zhao waited outside the palace.

Emperor Wende looked at Liu Zhao, and after a moment of silence, he said: Recently, you brothers have time, so come and spend more time with the Queen Mother. When you are old, you like to be lively.

My son obeys the order! The queen mother is fine.

It's a little sad. After all, the one who died was an old man who had served for decades. He will recover in a few days.

I hope the queen is all right.

Liu Zhao followed Emperor Wende and returned to Xingqing Palace.

Grandma Jia died very strangely.

Suicide?

He killed?

Accident?

Liu Zhao first denied the accident.

Just when he was about to arrest Nanny Jia, Nanny Jia died?

This is too much of a coincidence.

Like Gu Jiu, he doesn't believe in coincidences.

Only man-made accidents.

Denying the coincidence leaves only homicide and suicide.

Why did Nanny Jia commit suicide?

Had she foreseen the impending doom?

Various thoughts were spinning in Liu Zhao's head, and he had to deal with his father's questions at the same time.

In the evening, he returned to Xiaozhu tiredly, lying on Gu Jiu's lap, sullen.

Grandma Jia is dead, drowned.

I know!

Gu Jiu caressed his cheek, Earlier in the morning, Zhou Miao sent someone to send news that he committed suicide by jumping into a well.

You believe she committed suicide by jumping into a well?

It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. The important thing is that she is dead and the clue is broken.

That's why Liu Zhao was so depressed.

If he had known earlier, he would have done it in the palace regardless of the risk, and tied up Nanny Jia.

When Liu Zhao calmed down, Gu Jiu brought up what happened in the morning again, Zhou Miao actually sent me a message from a little beggar. Where did he know those little beggars?

Gu Jiu didn't know that Zhou Miao was originally a beggar in the northwest. After arriving in the capital, by chance, he entered the palace and became an eunuch.

After Zhou Miao entered the palace, she did not let go of her old profession.

Not only does he know little beggars, he is also the leader of the beggar gang.

Of course, this is what he calls himself.

He raised a group of beggars under his command, who worked for him and inquired about news.

He couldn't get out of the palace for a while, and he was in a hurry to send a message to Gu Jiu, afraid that Gu Jiu would say that he didn't do anything with the money, so he asked the little beggar to send the message.

Liu Zhao said casually: Rats have their own ways, so don't worry about these details.

Gu Jiu laughed and pinched Liu Zhao's ears, Details determine success or failure. Do you know how many things Zhou Miao has hidden?

I don't know. Liu Zhao denied it.

He won't say anything.

Gu Jiu also delved into this matter, she asked: Grandma Jia is dead, what are you going to do next?

Dig deep into Nanny Jia's identity. First find out who she has been in contact with in the past six months.

After a pause, he continued: It doesn't matter if Nanny Jia is dead, but keeping her by the Queen Mother's side will always make people worry.

Gu Jiu had a bad premonition, I have a feeling that you are too early to relax. Without His Majesty's support, you will always be a little slower when investigating people in the palace.

...

Soon, Gu Jiu's words came true.

Empress Dowager Xiao suffered another heart attack and became seriously ill.

The hospital did its best to rescue him.

Twelve hours a day, the imperial physicians took turns to guard Empress Dowager Xiao.

Emperor Wende was surprised, angry and worried.

Roaring at the imperial physicians.

Cure the queen mother! Otherwise, I will want you to be buried with me!

The imperial physicians trembled.

The Queen Mother is heartbroken, there is nothing they can do!

I can only try my best to save the Queen Mother's life.

If you want the Queen Mother to recover, there is no way at such an age.

Empress Dowager Xiao's current situation is to live and make money.

Empress Dowager Xiao was seriously ill, and the Xiao family was the most nervous and worried.

The Xiao family was gloomy and gloomy.

If something happened to Empress Dowager Xiao, what would the Xiao family do next?

Can Xiao Zhaoyi count on it?

Can Xiao Qin'er count on it?

The Xiao family urgently needs a reassurance.

Mrs. Xiao decided to take her eldest daughter-in-law into the palace to visit Queen Mother Xiao.

The day before departure, Xiao Qin'er was notified.

Ask Xiao Qin'er to enter the palace on the same day.

The family gets together and comes up with a plan.

This is also what the Patriarch of the Xiao family meant.

Empress Dowager Xiao, as the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Xiao family, is about to collapse. Before the collapse, the Xiao family had to make a decision.

Xiao Qin'er was at a loss when she received the news from her natal family.

She agreed to Liu Yi, saying that she would not enter the palace because of illness.

Empress Dowager Xiao is seriously ill now, and her natal family is in trouble, so she has to go to the palace.

How would she talk to Liu Yi?

She hesitated, procrastinating.

She dragged it off to Liu Yi before going to bed.

Liu Yi was silent for a long time.

Xiao Qin'er was full of apprehension, If you don't agree, I won't enter the palace tomorrow.

Liu Yi looked at her, No, you have to enter the palace tomorrow. But you have to promise me not to argue with Xiao Zhaoyi.

Xiao Qin'er nodded again and again with surprise on her face, I promise, I will definitely keep her at a respectful distance. No matter what she says, I will restrain myself. I will never conflict with her.

I hope you can do what you say. You have to remember that if something happens tomorrow, the empress dowager will not be able to protect you. The emperor will behead you two sisters!

Xiao Qin'er shivered all over, I remember! I promise nothing will happen!

It's better that way.

...

Early the next morning, Xiao Qin'er dressed neatly, got into the carriage and entered the palace.

Inside the Compassionate Ning Palace, all the palace servants looked solemn, cautious in their words and deeds, with despair and resignation in their eyes, as well as weak struggles.

If Empress Dowager Xiao passed away, how many people in the Palace of Compassion and Peace would survive?

Will His Majesty order that all the people in the Palace of Compassion and Peace be buried with him?

terrible!

Infected by such an atmosphere, Xiao Qin'er tensed up all over.

She walked into the bedroom, and saw Xiao Zhaoyi who was sitting by the bed and serving the soup.

Sister is here!

Xiao Zhaoyi greeted her with a tired face, his eyes were bloodshot.

Qin'er is finally here. Mrs. Xiao took a step forward and took Xiao Qin'er's hand, Why are you here so late?

Xiao Qin'er said nervously: I was delayed for a while when I went out. How is the Queen Mother?

Very bad! I just fell asleep in pain all night. Your sister waited on the empress dowager's bed all night. Let's go to the side hall to talk, don't disturb the empress dowager's rest.

Xiao Qin'er nodded and followed Mrs. Xiao to the side hall.

After a while, Xiao Zhaoyi also came to the side hall.

The palace people were all sent out.

In the side hall, there are only three mothers and daughters.

Xiao Zhaoyi sat down on the chair, rubbing the center of her brows, looking very tired. His eyes were gloomy.

Mrs. Xiao said eagerly: The whole family is worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager. If something happens to the Empress Dowager, what should the Xiao family do next? We have to make up our minds. Of course, everyone hopes that the Empress Dowager will turn the danger into good luck. . just plan for the worst.

Xiao Zhaoyi asked softly, What did father say?

What your father meant, after the queen mother left, the Xiao family should support His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

inappropriate!

Xiao Zhaoyi immediately objected, There is Liu Zhao in front of the fourth prince. The Xiao family cannot openly support the fourth prince, as it will attract His Majesty's resentment and suppression. Even if they want to support it, they should support the eldest prince.

Are you crazy? Xiao Qin'er stared at Xiao Zhaoyi, Liu Zhao doesn't care about the Xiao family at all.

Xiao Zhaoyi sneered, It's better if you don't care, the less involved, the less dangerous. Mother, you go back and tell your father that no matter what happens to the queen mother, the Xiao family must not act rashly. The Xiao family must not take the initiative to participate in the struggle for the succession. To stick to the previous attitude, whoever is the emperor supports whoever. The Xiao family is a loyal minister, only loyal to the emperor.

Mrs. Xiao was a little confused, Are you really not going to choose the fourth prince? He is the queen's son.

Xiao Zhaoyi sneered: He's not the only son of the empress. Moreover, the empress' son doesn't necessarily have much chance of winning, it's more like a target.

Xiao Qin'er smiled coldly, If you don't support your cousin, should you support your son?

Xiao Zhaoyi rolled her eyes to the sky, very disgusted, My sister has such a brain, how did she survive until today? It really makes me curious.

As I said, the Xiao family does not support the Fourth Prince, nor the Ninth Prince. The Xiao family has no position, the Xiao family is just the emperor's courtiers, did my sister understand?

Or is it that my sister is really in such a hurry to let Liu Yi take over? Are you really not afraid of death? Liu Zhao knows how to be a lone minister and gain His Majesty's trust, but you are urging Liu Yi to run to death. I would like to ask my sister, what are your intentions? Could it be that he wanted to murder her husband?

You nonsense! You don't want to slander me! You bitch...

What are you mean? My sister has finished talking.

Xiao Zhaoyi looked at Xiao Qin'er with a half-smile.

Xiao Qin'er was furious, and when she saw Xiao Zhaoyi's smug smile, she felt impulsive. Want to tear each other's face off.

She took deep breaths one after another, telling herself inwardly, don't cause trouble, don't be fooled.

But my heart is about to explode!

What's the matter with your sisters, why do you look like enemies? Mrs. Xiao was dumbfounded.

In her heart, how could the two daughters who love each other turn against each other?

Xiao Zhaoyi chuckled lightly, and said lightly: I forgot to tell my mother that my sister has always treated me like nothing, so I can only treat my sister as an enemy.
