For the sake of accuracy, Sima Yi successively announced three imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, among them was Imperial Physician He who had been in charge of Concubine Xiao, and Imperial Physician Wang who delivered the baby for Concubine Xiao.

The three imperial physicians arrived at Ningxiang Palace, and after understanding Sima Yi's order, they silently began to examine the little prince's body.

Imperial Physician Wang has always been suspicious of the little prince's death, so he inspected it most carefully. On the contrary, Imperial Physician He, who has been in charge of raising Concubine Xiao's fetus, seemed a little careless.

There was such a big movement in Ningxiang Palace, the queen mother got the news very quickly, and sent Zhao Laiyi to inquire about the situation.

When Zhao Laiyi arrived at Ningxiang Palace, she immediately saw Guo Chan sitting next to Sima Yi.Because of such an incident in the palace, Guo Chan also gave up the gorgeous dresses she usually loves, and chose a moon-white long dress instead.For some reason, Zhao Laiyi looked at the cold and arrogant expression, and felt a little bit similar to Lu Jinyan.

Guo Chan quickly noticed the gaze on her, and when she looked up, she saw Zhao Laiyi walking towards Sima Yi worriedly.

Guo Chan has heard about the changes in the structure of the harem.

After Zhao Laiyi saluted, she said: "The concubine has seen the emperor. The empress dowager heard that you asked the imperial physician to examine the body of the prince, and she was worried, so she specially ordered the concubine to come and ask what happened?"

Sima Yi raised his hand, and said calmly: "Mother Lao is worried. Just take a look, you came today just in time, and now you are in charge of the affairs of the palace, you should also know about it."

Although Zhao Laiyi was puzzled, she quietly retreated behind Sima Yi and waited.

This retreat happened to stand beside Guo Chan.

"The county lord."

"Miss Zhaoyi."

The two nodded in greeting, and Zhao Laiyi clearly felt Guo Chan's alienation from her.In the past, Guo Chan was not enthusiastic about her, but she would not be as repulsive as she is now.

Where is the problem?

Zhao Laiyi thought so.

But before she could think about it, she heard that Doctor Wang wanted to check the anti-fetal medicine that Concubine Xiao had taken during her lifetime.

When the maid went to get the medicine, no one noticed that Imperial Physician He looked flustered.

Soon someone brought the medicine bag, and it was Concubine Xiao's maid who served her personally, "My lord, this is the anti-fetal medicine and the decoction for calming the mind and calming the mind that my mother usually takes."

Imperial Physician Wang and another imperial physician opened the medicine packs respectively, he smelled them, and sorted the medicinal materials with his hands, while asking, "Why, does your mother often feel restless?"

"Return to Mr. Wang, yes, after my mother was pregnant, she felt restless at night. After seeing it, Imperial Physician He said it was a normal phenomenon, so she prescribed some soothing decoctions."

After saying that, Imperial Physician Wang just nodded, then glanced at Imperial Physician He standing behind him, and then continued to check the medicinal materials.

Guo Chan kept her eyes on the three imperial physicians. After seeing Imperial Physician Wang glanced at Imperial Physician He, she also noticed Imperial Physician He.

Suddenly Guo Chan said: "Physician He, why don't you check the medicinal materials?"

Imperial Physician He didn't expect Guo Chan to talk to him, and was taken aback. Guo Chan smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that Imperial Physician He was frightened. Am I scary?"

Imperial Physician He stabilized his mind, "Going back to the princess, the minister lost his mind for a while, and I hope the princess will forgive me. The reason why I don't check the medicinal materials is because the medicinal materials are from the hands of the minister, and I know everything about it."

Guo Chan nodded inadvertently, "So that's the case, then I hope these medicinal materials are safe, otherwise Imperial Physician He may lose his life."

Imperial Physician He twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at Sima Yi who was silent, and could only say: "These are ordinary anti-fetal medicines and Ningshen Decoction. The princess is just joking about the problem."

Guo Chan didn't bother, and said lightly: "It's fine if there is no problem."

After a while, Imperial Physician He planned to discuss the situation with the two Imperial Physicians Wang, but unexpectedly found that these two pretended to be inadvertent and avoided him to discuss alone.

In such a situation, he felt very bad.Looking at the medicinal materials placed on the table, I immediately felt frightened.

After discussing with another imperial physician for a while, Imperial Physician Wang decided that Imperial Physician Wang would report the result, so Imperial Physician Wang walked up a few steps and said, "My Majesty, I believe that part of the reason for His Royal Highness's death is due to dystocia. The more important reason is that Concubine Xiao used wrong medicinal materials when she was pregnant."

"Wrong" is the word that Wang Taiyi used after careful consideration.

Sima Yi frowned, "Is there a mistake? Could it be that Concubine Xiao has been restless during her pregnancy, and the restless sleep has something to do with it?"

Sima Yi knew about Concubine Xiao's restlessness all along, but it was a normal reaction to call the imperial physician to see her, so he didn't care.

Wang Taiyi said: "Back to the emperor, the ministers and others found that the anti-abortion medicine of Concubine Xiao is different from the prescription of the empress dowager's stub. Concubine Xiao's anti-abortion medicine contains two more medicines, almonds and purslane. These two medicines Long-term use will lead to fetal growth retardation, heart and lung insufficiency, and extreme damage to fetal gas, which is why the empress is restless. And the green spots on His Royal Highness' body are caused by long-term use of these two drugs."

At this point, Wang Taiyi paused, and said: "On the day when Concubine Xiao gave birth, it is reasonable that if the caesarean section was carried out in time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to survive. This is why I suggested the emperor to make a choice. Now it seems At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince was already weak in the womb of the empress, so he died young."

Sima Yi couldn't believe it at this time, "You mean, the emperor would have survived?"

Imperial Physician Wang glanced at him and said hesitantly: "Going back to the emperor, there is a possibility. But after taking this kind of medicine for a long time, even if the fetuses survived, most of them would be idiots."

Concubine Xiao and the little prince's coffins were still parked here, hearing the words of Imperial Physician Wang, everyone in the hall felt chills.

Guo Chan pulled out the sword from his waist and drove it on Imperial Physician He, angrily said: "Doctor He, do you have something to argue?!"

Concubine Xiao's pulse has always been taken care of by Imperial Physician He, and there are always people watching at the imperial hospital when taking medicine, but now there is such a big problem in the medicine, and Imperial Physician He cannot absolve himself of the blame!

Imperial Physician He's legs trembled, he thought for a while and shouted: "Princess, I don't know why there is a problem with the medicine!"

"You don't know?" Guo Chan squinted.

"I really don't know!"

"it is good!"

Guo Chan turned to Doctor Wang with a sword, "Doctor Wang, I have a few questions for Doctor Wang to answer."

"Your Highness, please."

"The pulse diagnosis must be recorded in the Tai Hospital, and the prescriptions are in triplicate, so ordinary people can't easily check them?"

"Return to the princess, it is true."

"Then let me ask again, the master in the palace prescribes the medicine, but the imperial physician who feels the pulse is in charge?"

"Back to the Princess, that's true." Said Wang Taiji and looked at He Taiyi who was ashen-faced.

"Then let me ask again, would the imperial physician not be aware of the situation like Concubine Xiao's pulse?"

Doctor Wang pondered for a while when answering this question, and then said: "Master, it is usually difficult to detect it after taking these medicines in the early stage. But... Concubine Xiao has been pregnant for nine months, and her pulse condition is weak, so I should be able to see it." something unusual."

"Thank you so much, Doctor Wang, for clarifying the confusion."

Physician Wang hurriedly cupped his hands, "I dare not."

After the words fell, Guo Chan looked at Imperial Physician He again. At this time, Imperial Physician He was already flustered and sweating profusely, because he felt that if there was any change in him, Guo Chan's sword would decapitate him without hesitation. place.

"How? What else can Imperial Physician He say? Or is it that Imperial Physician He's medical skills are superficial and can't see that there is a problem with Concubine Xiao's fetus?"

Facing Guo Chan's questioning, Imperial Physician He was speechless.

The wind from outside rushed into the inner hall violently, blowing up layers of banners, making Sima Yi feel as if he was in a world of ice and snow.

It turned out that even if there were no assassins, the emperor would not be able to survive.

Imperial Physician He felt a chill down his spine. Seeing that the matter was irrefutable, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi asked Guo Chan to withdraw his sword, and he looked coldly at Imperial Physician He who was kneeling in front of him, "Tell me, who is the one who ordered you?"

Imperial Physician He turned his eyes and before he could speak, Sima Yi reminded him: "You are right in what you said next, and you alone will die. If you are wrong, I will destroy your nine clans!"

It was still the gentle and refined face, but what Imperial Physician He saw was despair and cruelty.

Guo Chan was startled, looked at the large and small coffins, and closed her eyes slightly.

In the impression that Sima Yi has always been gentle and tolerant, everyone finally understood that the dragon has reverse scales after seeing Sima Yi like this.

"Back to the emperor, it's the empress, the empress ordered the envoys to do this!" Doctor He kowtowed vigorously, even though there was blood on his forehead, he still didn't stop, "I beg the emperor to spare the whole family of the minister, this Everything is the minister's fault, it's none of their business!"

At this time, Zhao Laiyi, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, exclaimed in shock: "It's actually the empress?! But the empress has been confined for many months, and it is impossible for her to order you."

Imperial Physician He said: "Everything I said is true. Every time I come back to look for me, it is Zhang Nanny who is next to the empress. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can call Zhang Nanny, and I can question her face to face!"

Zhao Laiyi said: "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks this matter is of great importance, so she should call Nanny Zhang to testify with Imperial Physician He, so as not to wrong the empress, after all, the empress is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, so she can't bear it."

Guo Chan glanced at the upright Zhao Laiyi. Since entering the palace, Zhao Laiyi has been staying away from the disputes in the harem and living with the Queen Mother. Today, she seems to have become very assertive.

And since Zhao Laiyi mentioned that Empress Zhang was pregnant, everyone's eyes became more meaningful. After all, it is not uncommon for the emperor to do things for the emperor's heir.

Sima Yi obviously thought of it too, he said in a deep voice, "Bring Nanny Zhang right away!"

Nanny Zhang is the old nanny next to Empress Zhang. When Empress Zhang still had to swear, all the concubines in the palace wanted to be courteous to her.

Looking at her distressed appearance when she was escorted in, it really was a turn of events.

Nanny Zhang refused to admit it at first, but Imperial Physician He made it clear when and where the two met, and also found Queen Zhang's personal letter in Imperial Physician He's mansion.

In the face of the evidence, Nanny Zhang couldn't argue anymore, she slammed into the hall while no one was paying attention, and died on the spot.

Sima Yi couldn't remember how long he hadn't been to Kunning Palace, everything here was strange yet familiar.When Empress Zhang married him in Weiwei, he would not have been able to successfully ascend the throne without the Zhang family.Later, the relatives of the Zhang family became powerful and threatened the imperial power, so he wiped out the Zhang family in one fell swoop.But for Queen Zhang, he still couldn't bear it.

Sima Yi admitted that he was not a cold-hearted person, but at this moment he found that being an emperor would be better if he was cold-hearted and unfeeling.

"Your Majesty, you are here." Empress Zhang seemed to have known that Sima Yi would come.

Empress Zhang looked at the man she had loved all her life, and she was filled with emotions, and Sima Yi felt the same when facing Empress Zhang, who was pregnant for many months and had a big belly.

"Nurse Zhang has confessed."

Empress Zhang said, "Mommy, is she already dead?"

Nanny Zhang would never confess to her.

Sima Yi did not answer this question, but asked: "Why?"

He thought it was fine in the past, but today, she is already in the Kunning Palace, which is like a cold palace, and the position of empress is already empty, so why cut off her last way of survival.

"Why?" Empress Zhang cried again with a smile, "Your Majesty, ask yourself, are you cuter than me? Ever since I married you, have I not thought of you, Majesty? I have felt sorry for you?!"

Sima Yi said angrily: "But how many innocent emperors have you killed?!"

Because Empress Zhang has always been childless, all pregnant women in the palace were murdered, except for one Jingxiu.Thinking of Jingxiu, Sima Yi's heart felt like being cut by a knife, but such a lovely and sensible daughter ended up like that.

Empress Zhang retorted: "I just want to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor for you! I am your first wife, even if you don't love me very much, the eldest son of the emperor must be my next life!"

Sima Yi became angry, but when he saw Queen Zhang's upright belly, he stopped. He had already lost many children, and he couldn't bear this one either.

He took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I will give you a death sentence when you give birth to a child. I will not keep this child in the palace. As for where it will be, you will never know until you die. .”

Empress Zhang didn't expect Sima Yi to make such a decision. She felt scared. All she did was to make her child the eldest son of the emperor. If he didn't stay in the palace, where could he go?

"Your majesty, your majesty! He is your son, and this is a boy, this is your eldest son! How can you send him out of the palace?"

Empress Zhang pulled Sima Yi's sleeve and begged, she knew it would be angry, but she thought he would not be so cruel to his own flesh and blood.

Sima Yi just said indifferently: "My eldest son passed away many years ago, and my crown prince is now in the coffin of Ningxiang Palace."

Sima Yi's cold words reminded Queen Zhang of the child she once had.But Empress Zhang couldn't care too much at this time, because she knew that Sima Yi didn't scare her, but really planned to do so.

"But... this is also your child, why are you willing to let him live outside the palace?!"

Sima Yi turned around, "Because I feel ashamed for him to have a mother like you, and I don't want him to live in the eyes of others in the future."

After speaking, Sima Yi left Kunning Palace without looking back.

Empress Zhang's figure gradually merged into the darkness, I don't know what her mood is at this time.
