Chapter 823: Cruel

The Empress Dowager hugged the Fourth Prince and personally coaxed him to sleep before taking a nap.

When Gui Zhi arrived, the Empress Dowager was still resting.

Normally, Gui Zhi would not have dared to disturb her, but now that Lady Yuan had been killed in front of everyone in Taiji Palace, Empress Xiao had almost gone crazy during her confinement. Even if she had offended the Grand Empress Dowager, Gui Zhi did not dare to delay.

However, it was unrealistic to bypass the Empress Dowager, so she stayed outside the cubicle.

Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager was not in a good mood, she could understand Empress Xiao’s love for her son. She was pregnant and did not even dare to breathe loudly. She even needed someone to help her when she walked. It was difficult for her to give birth to the prince.

It was understandable for her to be nervous about her child.

“With me watching from the side, nothing will happen. Little Four is sleeping well…” The Empress Dowager’s drawn-out voice came to an abrupt halt when she pulled the swaddling cloth to cover the Fourth Prince’s mouth.

Gui Zhi’s scalp was about to stand up,”There’s no need to scare me!”

“.. Empress Dowager, Prince…Are you alright?”

The main thing was that she was not feeling well. The Empress Dowager s sentences were too captivating and she could not bear it.

The empress dowager covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes bulging. “..”Alright, there was no need to explain. Gui Zhi knew what was going on. She couldn’t care less about her manners and quickly walked forward. She saw that the swaddled Fourth Prince’s small face was ashen. She reached out her hand again and felt that there was no breath.

Gui Zhi suddenly screamed and looked at the Empress Dowager who had already passed out. Without anyone to support her, she fell to the ground.

“Someone come! Someone come quickly!”

“The Fourth Prince has been killed!”

“The Empress Dowager has fainted!” Gui Zhi screamed with all her might.

There was only one thought in her mind. Empress Xiao was going crazy!

The Fourth Prince was dead!

The Fourth Prince was dead!

Emperor Yong Ping had suffered too much in one day.

The mother of Xie Xian, the pillar of the country, had died, and the son of the Di family, whom she had hoped to meet with great difficulty, had been suffocated to death in front of everyone.

Emperor Yong Ping was dizzy and felt like he was in a dream.

If it wasn’t for Empress Xiao dragging her sickly body to rush over, throwing herself into his embrace and crying bitterly, almost making him deaf, he would have believed that this was a dream.

Even if it was a dream, it was a cruel dream!

“Investigate! Investigate thoroughly, everyone!”

The empress dowager woke up not long after, but she cried so hard that she couldn’t say anything clearly. She even felt that she hadn’t tucked the swaddling clothes properly and had suffocated the Fourth Prince to death.

Regret and pain.

If she hadn’t said it herself, the Emperor of Yong Ping would have suspected that it was the Empress Dowager who had done it. After all, the Pan family also had a prince, and it was ranked before the fourth son of the middle palace.

But…

Firstly, the Empress Dowager never participated in the palace’s struggles.

Secondly, she wouldn’t expose herself like this, right?

Although he was still a little suspicious, Emperor Yong Ping was more afraid of the black hand that had reached into Taiji Palace.

If it wasn’t the Empress Dowager, then it must have been someone in Taiji Palace.

Or the palace maids, eunuchs, or even guards who were originally in Taiji Palace! No one could escape suspicion!

The only person who was not suspicious was the imperial physician. He had brought them along to treat Madam Yuan.

Emperor Yong Ping blamed himself. He shouldn’t have paid so much attention to Lady Yuan. If he hadn’t panicked back then and paid more attention to the Fourth Prince and sent people to guard him, the Fourth Prince wouldn’t have died.

“Your Majesty…”

Empress Xiao cried and cried until she fainted.

Emperor Yong Ping then ordered people to carry her back to the Jiaofang Palace and had the female doctor guard her there 24/7 to feed her medicine on time.

Very soon, the imperial physician’s examination results came out. There were no signs of the Fourth Prince dying from being suffocated. It was very likely that it was simply… It was unexpected. The swaddling cloth covered his mouth and nose.

Originally, the Fourth Prince was born prematurely and was weak, so this simple action took his life.

I dare not believe it

What a coincidence!

Lady Yuan had been killed by the King of Huaiyang, Taiji Palace was in chaos, and the Fourth Prince had simply been coaxed to sleep. He had been sent to the afterlife just like that?

Even Emperor Yong Ping could not believe it.

However, the lack of evidence meant that either it was true and there was no evidence, or the murderer was tall and did not leave any traces.

Throughout the ages, the emperor’s anger, the body buried thousands of miles. In a fit of anger, Emperor Yong Ping executed all the palace maids and eunuchs around the Fourth Prince, including the nanny. Even those who had approached the Fourth Prince’s room in Taiji Palace were killed.

When Xiao Baoxin received the news of Lady Yuan’s death from the Xie Clan, it was already four hours after the incident. Xie Xian sent out a message, ordering the Xie Clan to prepare for the funeral.

Mother Xie immediately fainted when she heard this. After she regained her consciousness, she cried bitterly,

“Why can’t I be the one to die? Why do I have to die? Third Aunt is still so young!”

The whole family surrounded Mother Xie and wiped their tears.

After Xie Wan received the message sent by Xiao Baoxin, she immediately rushed back to the Xie residence. When she saw Xiao Baoxin, her eyes were already swollen from crying, like an apricot pit.

“Really?”

“Isn’t it a misinformation?” Xie Wan finally saw her relatives and could not suppress her emotions anymore. She hugged Xiao Baoxin and cried bitterly. Even though he knew that what he asked was unrealistic, and that it was true that there would be people spreading gossip, no one dared to spread the news of a death, especially the death of an important minister of the country, Xie Xian’s biological mother.

Moreover, this kind of news was sent back to the Xie residence by Xie Xian’s closest relative, Qjng Feng, so it was definitely not fake.

Xiao Baoxin’s tears were like broken beads. He had not stopped crying ever since he heard about his mother-in-law’s death.

Seventy percent pain and thirty percent regret.

If she wasn’t pregnant with twins, she would have accompanied her mother- in-law into the palace.

She was already extremely sad, and after being affected by Xie Wan’s emotions, the sadness and helplessness surged in her body like an avalanche. She was so sad that she could hardly breathe.

In just a moment of realization, he had already fainted.

Fortunately, Xie Wan had been hugging her. The moment her body went limp, she hugged her tightly.

Xie Wan could not care less about being sad. The person in her arms was still pregnant.

“Sister-in-law, come, come quickly!” “She was so scared that her voice broke. Mother is dead, if anything happens to sister-in-law, brother will go crazy. Yi Antang was instantly in a mess. Mother Xie could not be bothered to cry anymore.”Come on, help them into the back room-don’t block the way. Quickly call the butler to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to invite a doctor over-No, no, it’s very likely that it’s also chaotic there, and I can’t leave. Invite a famous doctor from the city, quickly!”

“Call Doctor Xue over first.”Mother Xie didn’t care anymore. She went to any doctor she could think of and called everyone she could think of.

All he could think about was that he could not let anything happen to this pregnant woman. For a moment, he was in high spirits.

“Go and settle your sister-in-law’s funeral affairs. Mrs. Cai, send someone to call Second, Third, and Jiulangback to the residence.” Seventh Madame and Twelfth Madame went to take care of Bao Xin.”
