The next day.

capital.

News spread that Prince Xuanwu was poisoned, and the entire capital was shocked.

King Xuanwu was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

For a time, all places where Prince Xuanwu visited were strictly investigated, and everyone who had been in contact with Chen Yifei was also taken away.

Shihuayuan was also investigated.

Everyone who drank with Chen Yifei that day was taken back to the government office.

only.

After several days of investigation, neither the Xuanwu Palace nor the government found any clues.

On that day, there were no problems with the people and things Chen Yifei came into contact with.

Moreover, Chen Yifei's poisoning occurred late at night, making this case even more puzzling.

Li Mansion.

For several days in a row, Li Zi didn't even go out of his mansion at night. Every day he would either study martial arts, play chess, or practice swordplay. Anyway, he would never go out to cause trouble.

Prince Xuanwu's Mansion.

In the backyard room.

King Xuanwu looked at the poisoned and unconscious legitimate son in front of him, his expression unusually gloomy.

In front of the bed, several famous doctors in the city shook their heads helplessly after seeing the condition of Prince Xuanwu.

Can't find out what kind of poison it is.

"how?"

King Xuanwu saw the expressions of several doctors and asked in a deep voice.

"The Crown Prince's pulse is indeed that of poisoning, but we cannot tell what kind of poison the Crown Prince has been exposed to."

A doctor sighed softly and said, "There are thousands of poisons in the world. It is difficult to determine based on pulse conditions alone. We can only find a way to stabilize the poison in the prince's body first, so as not to let the poisonous gas attack his heart so quickly."

When King Xuanwu heard this, his expression changed again and again. At this time, he did not dare to make an attack. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Then it will be helpful for some doctors."

Six famous doctors in the city discussed for a while, wrote a prescription, and then left together.

"King Wu."

After the six doctors left, a servant walked in quickly and reported, "Li Yuan, there is nothing unusual. The legitimate son of the Li family has never left the house."

King Xuanwu's expression darkened and he said, "I know, keep sending people to keep an eye on it."

"yes!"

The boy took the order, turned around and left.

in the room.

King Xuanwu clenched his hands tightly, his eyes blazing with anger.

What's going on.

On the day of the incident, Yifei had no contact with the Li family. Could it be that this matter really had nothing to do with the Li family?

Royal Palace.

Shouan Hall.

Emperor Shang was sitting in the palace, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Who did what happened to Prince Xuanwu’s son?

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

At this time, a young eunuch walked in and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Shang came back to his senses and said calmly, "Please."

"yes!"

The little eunuch took the order, got up and left.

Not long after.

A beautiful woman walked into the palace, bowed respectfully, and said, "Concubine, I would like to pay your respects to Your Majesty."

"The Queen is exempt from the gift."

Emperor Shang looked at his wife in front of him and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Queen Changsun stood up and sat down across the table.

The maid entered the palace, served tea, and then left.

"Your Majesty seems to have something on his mind?"

Queen Changsun looked at His Majesty in front of her and asked.

"I'm thinking about Prince Xuanwu's poisoning."

Emperor Shang did not hide anything and said truthfully, "The dignified legitimate son of King Wu was poisoned without any sign. After so many days of investigation, nothing was found. It's really unbelievable."

"My concubine has heard about King Xuanwu's eldest son."

Empress Changsun said softly, "It seems that the reputation is not very good. Could it be that you have offended someone?"

"To say that he has offended too many people."

Emperor Shang sneered, "However, after all, he is also the heir apparent of the Xuanwu Palace. There are not many people who dare to attack him, and there are even fewer who can do it so neatly."

"Your Majesty, are there any doubters?" Queen Changsun asked.

"Li family." Emperor Shang said calmly.

When Queen Changsun heard this, she looked startled and said, "Is there any evidence?"

"No."

Emperor Shang shook his head and said, "Not to mention the evidence, there is no clue at all. On the day when Prince Xuanwu was poisoned, he had no contact with anyone from the Li family."

"Then why did Your Majesty say it was the Li family?" Queen Changsun asked puzzledly.

"intuition."

Emperor Shang said calmly, "In this capital, there are not many people who have the ability to do so, but the Li family is definitely one of them."

"The Li family is just a family of merchants, how dare they murder King Wu's eldest son?"

Empress Changsun said, "Even if the two families were unhappy before, they have already resolved it. I can't figure out what the Li family's purpose is."

"What the Queen said does make sense."

Emperor Shang nodded and said, "I have already dealt with King Xuanwu. Logically speaking, the grievances of the Li family should also be eliminated. We shouldn't go to unnecessary lengths."

"Your Majesty, please stop worrying about these small things and rest more."

Empress Changsun showed a gentle smile on her face and said softly.

"Queen, don't worry."

Emperor Shang calmed down his emotions, nodded and said, "I will take good care of myself."

"Then I will not disturb His Majesty's rest, and will leave first."

Empress Changsun said something, then stood up and bowed, turned and left.

In front of Shouan Hall.

Queen Changsun walked out, the smile on her face disappeared, and a look of concentration flashed in her eyes.

Your Majesty, you are indeed doubting the Li family.

It seems that His Majesty is becoming more and more suspicious of the Li family.

Thinking of this, Queen Changsun walked quickly towards Weiyang Palace.

We must find an opportunity for Nan Qiao to remind the Li family that they have restrained their sharpness in recent days.

Half a day later.

Changsun Mansion.

When the eldest grandson Nanqiao received the news from the palace, his eyes narrowed.

Your Majesty's suspicion of the Li family has actually increased to this extent.

The poisoning of Prince Xuanwu has nothing to do with the Li family, yet Your Majesty can still suspect the Li family.

Li Mansion.

Inner courtyard.
