Chapter 695: Same Traces, the Emperor’s Suspicion!
"How is King Zhou?" the Queen Mother asked with a gloomy face as she looked at the doctor from the Taiyuan Hospital.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing serious. Just take care of yourself for a while!" The doctor wiped the sweat from his head and replied cautiously.
In fact, in terms of breaking bones, His Royal Highness King Zhou was not the most powerful, and it was not the thigh bone that was broken, so the problem was not that big. But where the identity of the prince was concerned, no matter how small it was, it was a big deal.
"This is nothing, so what does it mean?" The Queen was furious, slamming the teacup in her hand on the table and shouting sternly.
"Yes...yes, I will do my best to treat His Highness King Zhou!" The doctor was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop and said hurriedly.
"How long will it take for it to heal?" The queen asked almost from the bottom of her teeth.
"Well, you need to rest for a few months. First, lie down on the bed, and then slowly start moving. But don't do it too violently. Be careful of getting injured again."
The doctor lowered his head and said, secretly wiping away the cold sweat. As a doctor, he was really sad. One or two of these highnesses always seemed to come to the Imperial Hospital.
Not only was this one always bad, but so were the others. Speaking of which, Yizheng also felt that he was being wronged.
"It actually took several months, and it sounds like there will be sequelae afterwards!" The Queen was furious. This was a critical moment. If Chu Liuzhou really lay down in bed and couldn't get up, it would not be a good thing.
"But... but the broken bones must be carefully taken care of. Otherwise, if the bones grow crooked, it will be a major event in His Highness's life!"
Yi Zheng reminded.
The Queen's face turned cold, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly. She also knew that this was the reason. There was no need to rush this kind of thing, but it happened that Chu Liu Zhou Ju broke his leg at this time. Think about it. The most likely beneficiary, the Empress, turned green with anger.
Either Chu Liuyue or Chu Liucheng dared to assassinate his son at the palace gate. He would never let them go.
"Queen, what's going on?" The door opened, and the emperor strode in. He glanced at the bed in the room with cold eyes. He saw Chu Liuzhou lying there on the bed and hurried over.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Zhou'er!" Seeing the Emperor come in, the Queen stood up and walked to Chu Liuzhou's bed, but without looking at Chu Liuzhou, she knelt down towards the Emperor and pinched Pa Zi started to cry.
Seeing Chu Liuzhou still unconscious on the bed, with a splint on his leg and wrapping it tightly, the emperor felt very uncomfortable. His son had always been the strongest among his sons. It's really heartbreaking to lie here without knowing anyone.
"Get up first. What does the hospital say?" The emperor stretched out his hand to support the queen and asked gently.
The queen also retreated when she saw the situation, stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital said that Zhou'er broke his leg. How could it be such a coincidence that he broke his leg at this time? ? Choosing a concubine is a life-long event. If you can't choose one that satisfies Zhou'er, you don't know what the prince's palace will be like in the future. Your Majesty, who wants to harm Zhou'er? Ask the emperor to be your concubine and serve Zhou'er. Son……"
The Queen couldn't continue talking at this point and turned her head to wipe her tears.
The emperor was silent for a moment, and then comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, queen, I will definitely find out whether this matter is an accident or man-made!"
He arrived late just now, just to check the cause of the accident. So far, it sounds like an accident, and it was an accident that happened accidentally to Chu Liuzhou himself, and there was another person involved. It was Chu Liuchen, but Chu Liuchen's behavior was the same as before.
And when the incident happened, he was far away from Chu Liuzhou. After Chu Liuzhou got on the carriage, he turned back to talk to Chu Liuchen. Before, Chu Liuchen did not lead Chu Liuzhou to ask what he thought about this matter. It all seemed like an accident.
But as a royal family, they are the least likely to believe in such an accident.
The emperor really didn't believe it in his heart, especially why the horse in Prince Zhou's palace suddenly went crazy. The person who should ask about this in detail was the carriage driver, but the carriage driver was unlucky. He actually fell off the carriage when he fell off the carriage. , his neck was broken, and no one noticed it before. After dealing with Chu Liuzhou, it was too late to save the coachman.
The coachman died, and no one knew what happened to the horse. The horse suddenly went crazy, which made the emperor speculate.
The same points reminded the emperor of what happened before, and made him suspicious. However, he had not yet reached a final conclusion, so naturally he could not say anything in front of the queen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of Zhou Er!" The Empress is a person who accepts good things soon. She wiped her tears. Although she still looked sad, she had no objection to the Emperor's result. This made her The emperor was very relieved.
Although the Queen is not exactly what he meant, at least she is not a messy person. This is also the reason why the Queen has been in the middle palace and firmly sits in the position of Queen for so many years.
"Where is King Chen? I heard that he was also there at the time. Did something happen?" After the emperor comforted the queen, he looked around and asked.
The queen's long fingers almost pinched into the palm of her hand. The sharp sting made her pale, but it also made her slowly relax.
"The Queen Mother is taking care of King Chen over there. I heard that she was coughing non-stop due to the wind before, but she stopped now. I don't know what happened! I was just focusing on Zhou'er, but I didn't notice King Chen. I wonder how my condition is now? Something happened to Zhou Er, and King Chen is also here, so he must be scared!"
The Empress said with a gentle face, and although her eyes were still red, the concern in her voice could still be heard.
The emperor was silent for a moment, and his expression became gentler, "It's rare for the queen to still think of King Chen when Zhou'er is injured like this. You can take care of King Zhou here first, and I'll go take a look at King Chen's place. It just so happens that I'm also here. If you want to ask him what happened at the palace gate just now, I heard that he was the one who sent Zhou'er to the Imperial Hospital."
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank King Chen properly. This child is also a filial person. He actually came to the palace on such a cold day, and even talked to Zhou Er for a long time at the palace gate. It's so cool. I'm going to be sick!" said the Queen.
She had just asked the people around King Zhou and found out that King Zhou's accident was caused by talking to Chu Liuchen. She longed to cut Chu Liuchen into pieces with a thousand swords, but she still showed a gentle and generous look on her face. It seemed that he really cared about Chu Liuchen, but behind the words of concern, Chu Liuchen's doubts were pointed out.
Why did Chu Liuchen appear at the palace gate at this time?
If Chu Liuchen didn't show up at the palace gate, would Zhou'er be fine? In this way, Chu Liuchen is also suspicious. Although this illness is of little use, it does not mean that Chu Liuchen has no possibility of harming Zhou'er.
Of course the emperor understood what she said. He glanced at the empress with an unclear expression and said slowly: "Okay, I know, and I will naturally get to the bottom of it. Are you here to accompany Zhou'er, or should you go back first?"
"I'm here to accompany Zhou'er. I can't sleep even if I go back now." The queen shook her head, tears fell again, and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped them away with a handkerchief.
"Okay, let someone clean up a room here. You can watch over Zhou'er first, and then go to bed if you're okay, otherwise you won't be energetic tomorrow. Zhou'er's body is important, and yours is equally important!"
The emperor said softly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Queen bowed sideways and watched the Emperor leave, with a hint of hateful anger flashing in her eyes.
"Empress, please sit down for a while. Your Highness will be fine. The Emperor also said that he will find out the matter." A palace maid soothed the Empress in a soft voice. Seeing that she was standing beside the bed and not leaving, she went to move it. Bring the chair over and help the Queen sit down.
"Check it out?" Everyone in the room was her confidant. The Queen sneered, "There are only a few people who are checking here and there, so why bother talking about checking it out? If the emperor is really serious, just arrest those two people and interrogate them directly. !”
"Your Majesty, please be careful what you say!" The palace maid looked out the window in panic. Although the people in this room were all the Queen's confidants, the Emperor and the Queen Mother were outside.
"I know!" The queen gritted her teeth, suppressing the jealousy in her heart. She gritted her teeth. She had endured it for so many years. At this time, there was nothing else she could not tolerate.
Because her son is the future heir to the throne, she can endure no matter how hard it is.
That woman, that sick man, she just endured it...
The Queen Mother was guarding Chu Liuchen's bed. Chu Liuchen had fallen into a deep sleep at this time, but even after falling asleep, his face was still pale and without blood.
Hearing the sound at the door, the Queen Mother turned back to look at the emperor who walked in, and sighed softly.
Seeing the quiet atmosphere inside, the emperor stepped lightly, walked to the bed and looked at Chu Liuchen lying on the bed.
"The imperial doctor said that Chen'er blew the wind at the door. It took too long, and he might be sick again." The Queen Mother sighed again and said helplessly.
"Why did Chen'er enter the palace today?" The emperor frowned and asked with deep eyes.
"Actually, he was ready to enter the palace a long time ago. The Ai family asked him to come over in the afternoon, but he was not in the palace. The people in the palace said they would let him come over when they saw him later. Then they saw it was snowing. He even sent someone to tell him not to enter the palace! Unexpectedly, the person who delivered the order later went astray with him!"
The Queen Mother blamed herself and said that the cause of this incident was her. She announced that Chu Liuchen had entered the palace in the afternoon, but Chu Liuchen happened to not be in the palace at that time. People in the palace said that they would see Chu Liuchen later. Chen asked him to enter the palace. Later, when he saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and snow was falling, the Queen Mother sent someone to send another message, telling him not to come in.
He asked just now, but he went the wrong way. Chu Liuchen didn't know that she didn't ask him to come.
"Don't worry, mother, I will find out about this matter!" In order to avoid worrying the Queen Mother, the Emperor comforted her in a low voice.
This matter seems to have nothing to do with Chu Liuchen, so are they really the two people I guessed? The emperor also had a headache, and then became angry. He was sitting on the throne alive, and they were Can't stand it anymore?
As my mind wandered, another suspicion came to mind.
That day at the palace gate, Chu Liuchen was in danger that time because of Changxingcao. This time, the horse was frightened for no reason. Could it be Changxingcao again? And the last time, when the fifth lady from Xingguo Duke's mansion was going down the mountain, her carriage had an accident and she almost lost her life, it was also because of Changxingcao!
If they are all true, then the Zhou Palace was involved twice. Why is the Zhou Palace repeatedly related to the Changxingcao from Niao Kingdom?
