Chapter 157 The Prince who disappeared for no reason
Soon, the concubine had a conflict before. The fifth prince of Wu Guifei, who was afraid of things, somehow disappeared in the prince's house out of thin air. Wu Guifei didn't say it at the beginning, thinking that it was the maid and eunuch who accidentally took her out to play and lost it. After careful investigation, I knew that the fifth prince disappeared out of thin air in the prince's mansion. She felt that she had told Cheng Zun the news.
Cong Zun doesn't often go to see the fifth prince, but occasionally goes to Wu Guifei. The fifth prince has always been in good health and is smart, but Cheng Zun also likes him. After all, it was his own flesh and blood. Hearing Wu Guifei say this, Cheng Zun immediately asked people to look for it in the palace.
After looking for a few days, there was no trace of it. Cheng Zun asked someone to look for it outside, but there was still no result. Wu Guifei heard that a concubine threw her child into a well or buried it in the imperial garden in the previous dynasty, so she turned over every well in the palace and looked for it countless times in the imperial garden, but there was still no clue.
"My child... why did you disappear..." Wu Guifei cried in front of the emperor regardless of her image. Cheng Zun also understood her grief and did not scold her and let her have a good rest.
I thought things had passed like this, but I didn't expect that the little prince of Li Meiren, who had just been born, was also lost in less than a month.
"Who did it? If I find out, I will definitely behead him." Cheng Zun said viciously. Li Meiren has been more favored recently. Because she gave birth to a little prince, the emperor loved her more.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for your concubine. My concubine's child slept well in the prince's mansion. The maid just went out to get her clothes and disappeared when she came back. This is premeditated... Your Majesty, you must make the decision for your concubine..." Beauty Li has been looking forward to the promotion of the child to a noble concubine after one month, but she didn't expect that the child was lost. The despair in her heart can be imagined.
So Cheng Zun asked people to search again, but still found nothing. Two princes were lost within three months, and Cheng Zun was also afraid. Put everything aside and come to check it in person. However, there was no result after investigation. I even turned over the residence of each concubine and found no clue.
"Your Majesty, and the Queen's Yunshen Palace have not been checked..." Wu Guifei finally couldn't help saying it out. She knew that the Yunshen Palace was very big, and it was not easy to hide anything. And everyone knows the queen's ability. If she wants to do anything, no one dares to disobey her.
"This... the queen is not that kind of person, and there is no need to check the Yunshen Palace." Cheng Zun didn't want his scandal to spread to Ji Liunian. Because Ji Liunian didn't like his draft before, but didn't scold him face to face.
When Cheng Zun said this, the concubines dared not speak. However, they spoke ill of Ji Liunian behind their backs. Although there was no evidence, they all believed that the disappearance of the two princes was related to the queen.
Slowly, the matter spread to Weiyang's ears. Weiyang was so angry that he told Ji Liunian about this matter. Ji Liunian didn't know anything and was shocked.
"That's too bold. Unexpectedly, such things can be done. It seems that I have to bring Min'er here. In case something unexpected happens..."
"Miss, don't you care that they slander you arbitrarily?" Weiyang did not grasp the key point when he saw Ji Liunian.
"What's the matter? I'm in high power. They suspect that I'm normal. Do I have to care about them?"
"Then you should also stand up and talk and let the emperor search the Yunshen Palace to remove their suspicions."
"The clear self-cleared. If they had really searched and didn't find anything, they would definitely say that there was a ghost in my heart and would have destroyed all the evidence. Since the emperor hasn't said anything, let's not worry. It's important to protect Min'er.
Wei Yang saw that Ji Liunian had no intention of protecting himself at all, so he stopped talking.
Between the concubines, the more they spread, the more fierce they became. Cheng Zun couldn't listen any more, so he took the concubine and the bodyguard to Yunshen Palace.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Liunian said coldly.
"Two princes have been lost in the palace recently, and I have checked and found nothing. I want to see if they have been thrown into the Yunshen Palace by bad guys..." Cheng Zun said shyly.
"Oh. Then wait a minute." Ji Liunian went in, put on some clothes, took something and came out.
"You go in and turn it over. If nothing is found, just put the original thing back in place. I'll go to the second prince's place, which won't hinder you." Ji Liunian left after saying that. Weiyang followed and was very worried.
"Don't go, it's just that you hurt my child. Poor my child is not yet one month old..." A woman wrapped in a headscarf took Ji Liunian's hand.
"Sister, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. When will I hurt your child? I don't even know where you live. What does your child have to do with me?
"You are jealous of me..." Obviously, the woman is not yet in confinement. She is so weak that she can't stand still.
"Help her quickly. If you fall down, don't rely on me. A woman who hasn't had a confinement also ran out. She is really not afraid of death. Ji Liunian shook off Li Meiren's hand fiercely. Beauty Li really staggered and almost fell down. The maid held her by.
Cong Zun felt very humiliated, but he was unwilling to attack on the spot.
"You go in and have a look." Cheng obeyed the order of the bodyguard to go in.
The season slowly leaves. Cheng Zun only saw her stubborn figure slowly disappear.
I searched in Yunshen Palace and found nothing. As expected by Ji Liunian, the doubts of the concubines have not been removed. But deeper, they felt that it was Ji Liunian who killed the two children and threw them outside.
"Absurd, if you continue to chew your tongue, I will kill one by one when I hear it. If there is no evidence, don't say a word. What can the queen do if she stays in the Yunshen Palace all day? On the contrary, I think it's a scheme. Did one or two of you do it together? Say it quickly." Cheng Zun's threat really scared them.
Soon, Li Meiren died of typhoid in confinement, and Cheng Zunhou buried her.
Before dying, Li Meiren took Cheng Zun's hand.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty must make the decision for your concubine. My child died so miserably. I dreamed several times that the queen strangled my child and left it in a dry well..." Li Meiren said nonsense. The more Cheng Zun listened, the more ridiculous he felt.
"Go there with peace of mind. It's all my fault for not protecting your mother and son. In fact, Cheng Zun did not allow her to come out when she was in confinement. She ran out madly. Seeing that Li Meiren was out of breath, Cheng Zun couldn't help shed a string of tears.
"Beauty Li is dead. This woman is really hateful and pitiful." Wei Yang told the news to Ji Liunian. Ji Liunian had long felt the strangeness in the palace, but he didn't expect that Beauty Li had died.
"She really went and suspected me. It's really stupid." Ji Liunian is not sad for her.
"Miss... Do you want to come out and investigate this matter? Two princes have disappeared. Will there be a conspiracy in it?
"You are not in a hurry, eunuch. Naturally, someone will do these things. If it doesn't happen to Min'er, I'm too lazy to pay attention to it. The emperor will have a way, don't worry. With so many concubines, it is not difficult to have two more. It's just that the child died pitifully and it's sad to be a mother. Ji Liunian doesn't want to interfere in this matter. Based on experience, she knew that this must have been done by the concubine.
After the funeral, Cheng Zun felt exhausted. Thinking that things will never happen again, you can take a breath.
I didn't expect that soon, the seventh prince would have another accident.
"He was able to walk with the maid. When I passed by the royal garden, I dropped the hairpin in the garden, so I took him to look for it. Because there were not enough manpower, the maid put him on the big stone to play with branches. We could see him as soon as we looked up. Unexpectedly, the child disappeared in a blink of an eye. If I knew that such a thing would happen, I wouldn't have picked up 10,000 hairpins..." Princess Dan cried.
Cheng Zun was upset and didn't expect that this matter was not over yet. If it was really done by the concubine, it would be too bold. If others do it, why? Isn't he afraid of being found to have his head landed?!
