Chapter 0729(1/2)
The annual autumn hunting kicks off at the Royal Hunting Ground.
The emperor followed his confidant General Song Chang, General Zhao Wu and other attendants.
A group of military generals and a group of princes and nobles, and the children of officials rode on high-headed horses, each of whom was ready to go, and they were extremely excited.
The Eunuch Xu shouted:
"The hunting begins!"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves boiled and smoke rolled. They entered the forest of the hunting ground in three directions.
The emperor looked at his warriors and each of them took the lead, and his joy was beyond words.
"Walk!"
The emperor also rose up and drove his horse into the hunting ground.
"Emperor! The Queen Mother told you not to compete with young people like a young man!"
When Song Chang saw the emperor galloping on his horse, he couldn't help but persuade him.
"There are you two around me, right? Did Luo Xiaoniang get to the Empress Dowager?"
The emperor slowed down his horse, and Eunuch Xu followed up with him panting.
"I've entered the palace!"
Luo Jiaojiao was ordered to go to the palace to accompany the empress dowager early in the morning.
The Empress Dowager had the habit of taking a nap, so Luo Jiaojiao took advantage of her lunch break and went to Mrs. Yin's garden.
The third prince also went to the hunting ground. When Mrs. Yin saw Luo Jiaojiao coming, she hugged her with a smile. The two good sisters had not seen each other for many days and kept talking.
When Mrs. Yin talked about her son, she was filled with joy.
The emperor also liked this third prince with good literary talent and restrained personality, and even asked Taifu Jia to be his teacher.
Seeing the sun set, Luo Jiaojiao stood up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Yin reluctantly took Luo Jiaojiao's hand, asking her to come and walk around more in the future and talk to her.
"Um!"
Luo Jiaojiao agreed.
At this time, a little eunuch ran into the garden in panic, saying that the third prince fell off his horse while hunting and was carried to the Imperial Hospital.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yin suddenly felt a little unsteady.
"Let's go to the Imperial Hospital!"
Luo Jiaojiao helped Mrs. Yin to walk towards the Imperial Hospital.
When they entered the gate of the Imperial Hospital, they saw a person kneeling in the hospital.
Mrs. Yin was so panicked that her mind was blank. She was helped by Luo Jiaojiao into the house and saw her son lying on the couch with a white cloth covering her face. She immediately breathed and she was already breathing down!
"Li'er!"
Luo Jiaojiao hugged Li'er and called anxiously.
Doctor Wu came over and pinched Mrs. Yin's people.
After a while, Mrs. Yin woke up. Her eyes were dull and her face was pale.
"Li'er!"
Luo Jiaojiao didn't feel sad from her heart, and tears flowed down her cheeks. She felt that Li'er's life was too bitter and she could not pull her son who was dependent on her for life alone in the deep palace, but she did not expect that he died of a misfortune now.
"Please mourn Mrs. Yin on the day! The emperor will arrive later!"
Eunuch Xu came to the Imperial Hospital and looked at the scene at this moment.
"Son of the Emperor!"
Mrs. Yin struggled to get up and came to the couch, lifted up white cloth and hugged her son's head and felt very sad.
Luo Jiaojiao followed closely behind, but saw the third prince's eyes wide open and his lips were a little blue. She subconsciously looked at the same blue-purple color on the exposed fingernails of the third prince.
Why does this seem to be a sign of poisoning?
Luo Jiaojiao couldn't help but wonder.
"Please mourn Mrs. Yin on the day! Let the third prince go safely!"
When Doctor Wu saw Luo Jiaojiao staring at the third prince's hands, he hurried over and covered the body with white cloth.
"Is it no rescue?"
The emperor walked in with red eyes.
"I broke the skull and cervical vertebrae, and I was already angry when I came back!"
Doctor Wu knelt down and reported.
"emperor!"
Mrs. Yin heard the emperor's voice and burst into tears again.
"It's all my fault! I didn't protect him!"
The emperor walked to Mrs. Yin, hugged her and patted her on the back to show comfort.
"It's been fine when I went out, why...?"
The Empress Dowager, Empress, Mrs. Shen and the eldest princess entered the house together.
Luo Jiaojiao saluted as usual and then stepped aside.
On the second day, everyone in the streets and alleys of the imperial city learned about the third prince's accidental fall from a horse while hunting. Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.
The emperor issued an order to bury the third prince into the imperial tomb.
Luo Jiaojiao went to the Imperial Hospital alone at night. She found Doctor Wu and asked the third prince if he had been poisoned.
Doctor Wu knew that he could not hide it from Luo Jiaojiao, so he said that he had reported the matter to the emperor. He told Luo Jiaojiao not to get involved in the matter, and the emperor had ordered someone to investigate.
Luo Jiaojiao returned to Mrs. Yin's residence. She looked at Mrs. Yin who was sleeping in her heart and said in her heart:
"I will definitely find out the truth about this matter and seek justice for the third prince!"
On the day of the funeral, Luo Jiaojiao held Mrs. Yin, who was forcibly holding her up, and went to the imperial tomb with the coffin of the third prince.
Mrs. Yin didn't say a word. She leaned weakly on Luo Jiaojiao, looking ahead with big eyes in distractedly.
Luo Jiaojiao didn't know how to comfort him and could only hold her shoulders tightly.
After the third prince was buried, before sealing the cave, Mrs. Yin wanted to stay with her son for a while. Luo Jiaojiao accompanied her and sat quietly in the tomb.
"Please mourn on Madam! It's time to seal the cave!"
Song Chang walked into the tomb alone.
Luo Jiaojiao helped Mrs. Yin up and walked out together.
Luo Jiaojiao, who walked to the outer tomb, vaguely heard the sound of opening the coffin. She couldn't help but look back and found that Song Chang had leaned into the coffin.
If the third prince has the emperor to decide for him, he will definitely not die in vain!
Luo Jiaojiao's heart finally calmed down.
After Mrs. Yin returned to the palace, she had been ill in bed.
Luo Jiaojiaoyi took care of her in confusion, and she was no longer worried about other things.
Jiang Yu visited him twice and sent some essential items.
Luo Jiaojiao told Jiang Yu about the poisoning of the third prince.
Jiang Yu listened and pondered for a while and said:
"We are not inconvenient to interfere in royal affairs, so the emperor will deal with it!"
"If this matter was done by the prince, what would the emperor do?"
Luo Jiaojiao thought about it and asked Jiang Yu.
"The emperor will suppress this matter! After all, the position of crown prince cannot be easily abolished!"
Jiang Yu told Luo Jiaojiao truthfully.
"Will the third prince die with his eyes open?"
Luo Jiaojiao shouted angrily.
"Shh! There are ears in the partition!"
Jiang Yu warned Luo Jiao to make a petite voice so as not to alarm others.
"This matter can't be done with that!"
Luo Jiaojiao knew that if someone wanted to kill the third prince, then the person could only be the prince's party.
"Before leaving, my master told me to protect you carefully and wait for him to come back to make trouble. You can't do anything wrong!"
