Chapter 432 Interception
Princess Wei's Mansion.
The sound of the zither is long and melodious, and the sound of the harp is loud and clear, but it is not as harmonious as before.
The eldest princess Qin Ronglu suddenly frowned, pressed the strings of the zither with her slender hands, the sound of the zither stopped abruptly, and she raised her eyes to look at her husband Lin Su.
"Prince Consort, you are absent-minded today."
She stood up straight, looked at her husband, raised her hand and waved it gently, her sleeves slipped down, revealing her jade-white wrists. The maids standing on both sides bowed and nodded, then retreated.
"Is there something bothering you that you can't tell me?" Qin Ronglu stood in front of Lin Su, held his hand, his eyes full of concern.
"I remembered something this morning, so I checked the intelligence. When Imperial Doctor Yu, who was begging for his remains to return home, was robbed and killed by bandits, it happened that Princess Hengshan's guards were out of town hunting."
"Who is Doctor Yu? Which Doctor Yu?" asked the eldest princess Qin Ronglu.
A minor imperial physician was robbed and killed by bandits when leaving the capital. Was it bad luck or was he silenced?
She sighed nonchalantly.
"It wasn't long since my Thirteenth Brother died, and the Second Princess's men went out of town to hunt? Are they so short of this piece of meat?"
Could it be that the Second Princess sent her own guards to kill the imperial physician and silence him?
The eldest princess Qin Ronglu suddenly perked up, and ripples appeared in her eyes.
"I didn't care much about an insignificant imperial physician, but the death of Imperial Physician Yu is now related to the case of Concubine Yu."
Imperial Physician Yu went out of the capital through the South Gate, and the guards from Princess Hengshan's mansion went out of the city to hunt also through the South Gate, and the South Gate happened to be watched by one of his night messengers.
It has been less than a month since the incident happened, and he has not yet reported the matter. Now that this clue is in his hands, he is a little confused about how to use it.
Lin Suhui held Qin Ronglu's hand, led her to the tea table, pushed her down, picked up the teapot with swift movements, arranged the teacups one by one, and skillfully poured her a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to her.
The aroma of tea spreads instantly.
"The pulse of Concubine Yu is different. It seems that she had miscarriage and faked her menstrual blood. All the pulse records of the past few years have been destroyed."
Lin Su frowned slightly, his eyes showing thought, his lips pursed, his fingers unconsciously tapping the tabletop, thinking in his mind as he answered.
"This unfortunate Imperial Doctor Yu was the one who diagnosed the pulse of Concubine Yu."
This seems to have two possibilities.
First, the miscarriage was faked as menstrual blood, and Concubine Yu was murdered and miscarried without knowing it;
Secondly, the miscarriage was fake, but the menstrual bleeding was real. Someone fabricated it out of thin air to frame someone for causing Concubine Yu to have multiple miscarriages.
"The murderer would destroy the pulse case and kill the imperial physician, regardless of whether Concubine Yu had a miscarriage or not. If it was Princess Hengshan who sent someone to kill Imperial Physician Yu, which guess would you prefer, Your Highness?"
"Second sister, Empress, and even Ninth brother, there is no need to attack Concubine Yu. There is no hatred or resentment, and there is no threat. Given the usual behavior of the Pepper Palace, what reason do they have to chase Concubine Yu and beat her to prevent her from giving birth to a prince?
So... I am more inclined to believe that the miscarriage is fake, and the Pepper Palace is targeting the Third Imperial Brother?"
The eldest princess Qin Ronglu tilted her head, the tassels on her temples fell down, and the fine pearls and jade collided with each other, making a slight rustling sound.
"That's not right. If he was targeting my third brother, rumors would be flying all over the place that he murdered my adoptive mother.
But now, inside and outside the palace, there are all kinds of speculations, all messy and unreliable, and the claim that the third brother is unfilial is mixed in among them, and it is not noticeable. "
Moreover, the Third Imperial Brother is neither the eldest nor the legitimate son. There is no need for the Pepper Palace lineage to target Concubine Yu. Is it necessary to attack the Third Imperial Brother?
the same.
Qin Ronglu recalled the rumors about his younger brother, the Seventh Prince, and the recent rumors surrounding his Thirteenth Brother's drowning. If this incident was directed at his Third Brother,
The son harming his mother is much more serious than the incident when the seventh brother was falsely accused of murdering a concubine.
Once the rumor spread, all the officials of ceremony and censorship in the court who were able to submit memorials were dismissed. If they did not submit one to impeach the third prince, they would be considered guilty.
"My Lord, are you sure that it was the Second Princess and her people who killed the imperial physician and got involved in the case of Concubine Yu? Do you think it's okay for me to go to the palace and complain to my father?"
Lin Su shook his head.
