Spirit of the Phoenix: 110. Reunion

36 hours when the anti-theft rate is 70%, buy enough to refresh and try. In the East Palace, General Li went up on the third day and brought a middle-aged guard who was about forty years old. The middle-aged guard's rank was not obvious, but General Li respected him very much in his words, and solemnly introduced the matter to the prince: "Ying Yue is not a child of a family, and his family is a doctor. More than ten years ago, Yuchen was kind to me, and he was already in the army. I have been a minister for many years, and I am very capable."

The little prince understands.

During the more than 20 years that Da Sima has dominated the government, Da Yan Guozuo has been stable and there has been no war. The guards of the imperial army have high benefits and good pay, and there is no need to fight in peaceful times. Many children from aristocratic families cut their heads to become guards of the imperial army, just to eat the easy and generous official salary of this job.

Ying Yue recommended by General Li is not a child of a family, but because he has been kind to General Li many years ago, General Li also arranged for him to enter the army to eat military rations.

General Li made such a solemn recommendation, the little prince immediately sold his face, bowed to the end with respect and respect, Shen Sheng respectfully said: "Mr. Ying is good."

Being treated with such courtesy by the prince, Ying Yue was shocked to avoid giving way and thanking him again and again. General Li stood by and did not speak, but his face seemed to be moved. When he spoke to the prince again, his words became more frank.

"...It's cold today, and Qin Baolin's body is hidden in the cold cellar. Although it will not rot for a while. But the autopsy is necessary, and it must be done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams." General Li persuaded, " Ying Yue was born in a doctor, and also served as a secretary in the army, he is the person I can trust the most. If there is no other candidate in the hands of His Highness, Ying Yue should be ordered to perform an autopsy."

An autopsy is necessary. The little prince is like a mirror in his heart.

The appearance of Qin Baolin's death is strange, and the cause of his death has not yet been determined.

What's more, about two days after Qin Baolin's death, a **** stillbirth was "born" between the legs of Qin Baolin's body.

The half-foot-long male fetus, with its fingers and face already formed, slid out from between the legs of Qin Baolin, who was gradually swollen and decayed, and the stench in his belly filled the coffin where he died.

The matter of the "ghost fetus" was reported to the emperor privately by the little prince, and the fact that Qin Shi was pregnant was confirmed at this point, and there is no possibility of rebuttal or reversal.

Where does the ghost come from? Why did the Qin family die? There are several doubtful points that need to be investigated urgently, and a reliable autopsy is bound to be needed to find the answer.

The crown prince pondered for a moment, then nodded to General Li, but he did not arrange time for Mr. Supply to examine the body.

General Li gradually became suspicious, but on the second day, he knew the reason for the prince's hesitation.

After the early court was over, Grand Sima Chen Keling was summoned by the queen to visit the pregnant queen in the palace. After lunch, I turned around and went to the Zhaoyang Hall where the emperor was.

The two talked secretly in the palace for a long time, and after Da Sima left the palace, he immediately sent a retainer into the palace.

A vassal known as a doctor came to ask for a safe pulse for the queen.

In fact, a very experienced assistant outside the palace, over seventy years old, tremblingly examined Qin Baolin's body.

After finishing the autopsy, the little prince was accompanying the emperor when he came back to talk.

"... Madam committed suicide in the water." The author didn't know Qin's identity, and his tone was very firm, "The mother's body died, and the soul dissipated completely. But the fetus was resentful because it was not born, and the resentment was gathered, and it was destroyed in one go Only when a body is born, will a ghost fetus be born."

He talked eloquently throughout the article, first he said that the ghost fetus has a lot of background, and he needs to do rituals for seven to forty-nine days, and then he said that the ghost fetus is an evil spirit, and he needs to build a pagoda in the inner city.

The emperor's face became more and more impatient, and the prince's eyes became more and more cold, knowing in his heart that this operation would not survive.

Sure enough, the emperor forced himself to endure for a long time, and rewarded the man face-to-face with several gold cakes. After the man came out of the palace, he immediately asked the servant to go to the Queen's Palace, and asked the Queen to "clean up" him.

The old Wuzuo in his seventies was poisoned to death before he even left the palace.

The emperor's anger was still unresolved, and he angrily said to the little prince: "What kind of resentment is there for a **** in his private affections outside the palace? You have someone to take that **** outside the palace and feed it to me." Wild dog, no residue is allowed!"

The little prince's face did not change, but his deep voice should be.

His father doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, which is reasonable and the little prince expected. If he really believed in ghosts and gods and the retribution of good and evil, how did his father sleep peacefully in the imperial city every night during the four years since his mother was strangled?

The emperor thought about it, but he was a little nervous, and asked the little prince: "Rui'er, tell me, is that right? The Qin family really committed suicide?"

Following the emperor's thoughts, the little prince said slowly: "There is no trauma on Qin's body, her face is serene, and there is no sign of struggle or resistance. She is still young, and she was not able to have the honor of her father before she became pregnant. Now that she is fully pregnant, if her father summons her to bed, she will be exposed immediately. Father Tian's power is on the top, if Qin is worried that her father finds out that she is pregnant and fears suicide, it is also possible..."

The emperor's face was grim: "The Qin family thought I was stupid and weak, and bullied me. If the Qin family didn't commit suicide, I would cut her into pieces to vent my hatred."

"Keep the funeral simple, and I will keep her from entering the imperial tomb!" The emperor said harshly.

The prince did not speak immediately. The dead silence in Zhaoyang Hall gradually awakened the emperor's reason.

"...No, it still can't be like this." The emperor took a deep breath, "there were already many speculations about Baolin's death in the palace, and there were even complaints about my death of Yongxiang palace people."

The emperor killed the palace people because of his "deep love" for Baolin. How can the funeral ceremony be simple now? Isn't this a contradiction?

"Qin's family is respectful and docile, very happy and gentle to welcome the joy, Zhenliang mourns deeply, and was buried with Zhaoyi ceremony." The emperor gritted his teeth, preferring to portray Qin Baolin as a confidante who charms the monarch.

"Reward the Qin family generously." He would rather kill the Qin family. Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Today is just the beginning of everything.

The crown prince was cold-eyed and listened silently. He just adjusted the expression on his face when the emperor's gaze came over him, and lowered his head respectfully: "Father is right."

The crown prince returned to the East Palace and immediately invited General Li and Ying Yue: "Father has issued an order, and it is expected that the coffin will fall soon. Sir, please hurry, our time is limited."

Ying Yue bowed his hands to the prince with a cold and solemn face, and after about two hours, he returned to the East Palace with General Li.

"I have carefully searched Baolin's body." Ying Yue did not shy away from anything, and said frankly, "The so-called ghost fetus is just a cover for lying. The strange things."

He said it frankly, but the prince didn't think it was disobedient at all, instead he grinned: "It's just right, I don't believe it either."

Ying Yue was a little surprised, looked up at the prince and continued: "When a woman is pregnant, all internal organs are squeezed. After death, the internal organs decay and produce gas, which will push the fetus out of the birth canal."

"The peasant women in the countryside died of dystocia, but they were wrapped in a straw mat and buried in the hills. After a few days, the dead bodies were often seen giving birth. It is very common for Qin Baolin to give birth after death. It has nothing to do with ghosts and gods. It has nothing to do with it.”

The little prince curled his lips slightly: "Yes, I thought so too. It's just that the fetus was delivered, which really confirmed the fact that she is pregnant."

He turned around and asked Ying Yue again: "Have you ever found out the cause of death?"

Ying Yue's expression is obviously hesitant: "I can't determine the cause of death."

The crown prince raised his eyebrows: "The master who was sent to the palace by the great Sima said that he committed suicide by drowning."

Ying Yue nodded slightly: "There is no obvious trauma on the whole body, no bruises on the back of the neck and the back of the head, and there is a small bleeding on the eyelids, which is indeed in line with the shape of a drowned corpse."

The prince was puzzled: "Then why do you hesitate and say you are not sure?"

Ying Yue was a little cautious: "But when the body was found, the whole body was dry..."

The prince interrupted him: "The clothes can be changed."

Ying Yue paused for a moment, and said: "The most important point is the small black spots on the sclera of the corpse... This kind of spots can only be caused by dehydration in an extremely dry environment and the eyes of the corpse have not been closed. And revealed."

"So...my judge is," Ying Yue said in a low voice, "Qin Baolin was drowned on very dry land."

This statement is too self-contradictory. Even though General Li trusted Guangdong very much, he couldn't help raising his voice: "How is this possible? How can you drown if you are on land?"

The little prince hadn't answered yet, but Tai'an, who had been hiding in his arms, spoke softly, and a very low whisper came into the little prince's ears: "I think... I know how Qin Baolin died."

But when the Qin Baolin case happened, the moment General Li saw the body, the cold winter of June 9 was poured down like a bucket of ice water, and even the bones were frozen to ice.

In an instant, countless thoughts exploded in his mind, but none of them could save his life.

Seeing the secrets of the royal family, General Li knew he was doomed. What can be done at this time is to seal off the gate of Yongxiang palace, including himself, not even an ant is allowed to step out of the vermilion gate.

The reason for being so cautious is just to prove that I never had the opportunity to confide even half a word to my wife and children at home, so as to avoid the whole family being ransacked and beheaded in the future.

"Your Highness treats you honestly, and I don't dare to lie to Your Highness." General Li looked deeply at the prince. Even a young **** knew to risk his life, so why didn't he want to live?

"Your Highness, I know that I will die."

"I would like to advise Your Highness that this matter involves the face of a saint. Although His Highness is a prince, he is also the son of a saint. There are some things... you shouldn't know. You really don't want to know." General Li Say it in one word.

General Li's words are beyond the bounds!

After all, the little prince was young, and when he heard this, he was furious, and was about to lose his temper, but Tai'an's icy little hand touched his chest.

The little prince calmed down a lot.

The face of a saint means that Qin Baolin's body lost the face of his father.

The little prince took a deep breath and said lightly: "Could it be that when the body was found, it was naked?"

General Li raised his head and stared at the crown prince like a torch: "No. When the body was found, it was well dressed and normal, with a peaceful face and no injuries."

"Only one thing, Qin Baolin's body is thin, but his lower abdomen is protruding. I have three sons, five daughters and eight children. You can tell at a glance... This is about five months pregnant."

What!

Tai'an covered his face with his hands, desperately suppressing the exclamation from his mouth.

The little prince stood up suddenly, his face flushed purple.

Qin Baolin, who has been in the palace for less than three months, is... five months pregnant.

A huge green hat was put on the head of the cowardly and incompetent emperor.

The whole world knows that the emperor is a puppet and a wimp, but even if he is a puppet and a wimp, he is first and foremost a man and an emperor. How can he bear this shameful humiliation?

What's more, the one who put on this green hat for him was a respectable gentry, who was hired by him as soon as he entered the palace, from the Qin family in Jinzhong.

There were no other servants around, but the little prince suddenly took two steps back, looked around, and exhaled foul breath.

"Let the Dali Temple of Xi Gongju Tai Hospital not rush here." After a long time, the little prince uttered the first sentence, "General Li, the Yongxiang is ordered to be closed. Not only is no one allowed to go out, but From now on, no one is allowed to enter."

"Before the matter is clarified, one more person is one more life. Why bother?" The little prince's voice was obviously sentimental.

General Li seemed moved, and responded in a low voice: "The rumors are true, the prince is indeed benevolent. On behalf of the dozens of adults who failed to enter the palace gate tonight, I thank the prince for his kindness."

The little prince waved lightly, turned around and entered the inner hall of Yongxiang.

He didn't even close the door tightly, Tai'an couldn't wait to jump out of his arms, and grabbed his shoulder: "Have the Qin family in Jinzhong gone crazy? Even a woman who has lost her virtue dares to be sent into the palace! Little prince, what should I do?" ? Such a shameful thing, will your father kill you as well?"

Her words sounded ridiculous, but after he laughed, he felt a sense of sadness deep in his heart, so he just looked at Tai'an's hair and said, "Before I report back to my father, I will personally examine the corpse..."

Before the words were finished, Tai'an was full of pride and loyalty, and chirped and promised: "Blessings and hardships. I will accompany you, little prince, let's go together!"

In the past four years, the Taifu has taught him carefully, caring like a master like a father. He has offended the Chief Sima Chen Keling several times for him, and is more willing to betroth his beloved daughter to him.

In the past four years, the little prince has never once doubted the sincerity of the Taifu.

But what is the purpose of such a strange situation tonight?

The little prince slowly calculated in his heart, and unknowingly came to the end of the water pavilion.

At the end of the water pavilion is a tall weeping willow. The willow branches are luxuriant, swaying gently with the evening wind. The prosperous and splendid Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns stretch to the front of the weeping willows, making it more and more brightly lit in the water pavilion, while the outside of the water pavilion is dark and gloomy.

There is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei, the little prince stepped into the shadow of the weeping willow from the waterside pavilion where the lantern was hung, and his eyes went dark without any precaution.

"Your Highness!" A familiar and slightly stern voice sounded in front of him, the little prince subconsciously took two steps back, closed his eyes for two seconds to adapt to the darkness, and then opened them.
