Chapter 237

In the early spring, the city is full of spring. In the early morning, a large number of people come in and out of the city gate. A black covered carriage entered the city from the north gate. The driver raised his waist token to the guard of the city gate. The guard who was going to check would immediately retreat respectfully. The carriage ran all the way towards the prime minister's office.

In the car, Gu Yun looks at suling, who is leaning by, and whispers, "I'll go to see her myself. Go back to the house and have a rest." If she wants to come back, suling has to come back with her. She also says that the doctor of Maocheng has to go back to Beijing for treatment because of his poor medical skills. These days, the wound is a little inflamed. The man is stubborn and can't bring back eight cows.

Several days of the day and night is really very tired, but suling still mentioned spirit and asked: "do you want me to arrange you into palace?"

After thinking about it, Gu Yun shook his head and said, "no, I'll ask what happened."

The carriage suddenly stopped. Gu Yun opened the curtains and looked at it. The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xiangfu. Su Ling understood that she was in a hurry to know what happened. She didn't say anything more. She whispered, "go."

Open the curtain of the door, and before Gu Yun gets off the car, he doesn't forget to say, "I'll go back to the general's office and ask the doctor to treat you, OK?"

Suling smiles and nods. Gu Yuncai is relieved to go to the coach.

Gu Yun goes to the gate of Xiangfu, and a man dressed as a servant greets him. Gu Yun says, "I want to see my sister."

"Young girl, please come inside." He didn't need to inform her to go in, so Qing had already explained it, which also showed the urgency of the matter.

The servant took her to the moon building, and when she entered the courtyard, she saw Zhuo Qing sitting on the stone bench by the lake, looking at the sky in the distance as if she was dazed and thinking about something.

Gu Yun walked behind her and asked, "what's going on?"

Zhuo Qing is frightened. Looking back, Gu Yun stands behind her with a cold face. Cloud's face was very bad, and his face was tired. He had to work hard all the way. He patted the stone bench beside her to ask her to sit down. Zhuoqing whispered back, "the news from the palace is that the child began to have a fever the next day of the full moon, and the fever never subsided. He died seven days later."

Sitting beside Zhuo Qing, Gu Yun asked in a deep voice, "is it really dead?" There must be something suspicious in this. If she died of illness, Qing won't call her back in such a hurry.

"When I got the news, I went to the palace immediately. When I arrived at the Qingfeng palace, the child was dead. In general, pneumonia is the most likely cause of infant high fever. In this era, medical conditions are too poor, and it is not impossible for pneumonia to cause acute respiratory failure. By the time I arrived, the body was cold, crimson, and purple lipped, and it did look seven times like death from acute respiratory failure. However, I found that the child's hands were naturally relaxed on both sides of the body, and according to the palace maid who accompanied the child at that time, she did not hear the child's shortness of breath or crying, so the child died silently, which was not right. The death caused by acute respiratory failure is very painful. Children should struggle and cry as much as they can, instead of being so calm. "

"You mean the child may not have died of illness!" As expected, there are still problems.

Zhuo Qing shook her head helplessly, "I don't know. The child is too young, it may also be the death caused by other complications. Now, I can't do pathological test, and I can't dissect the corpse. I can't make a conclusion about the cause of death of the child. "

"Where is the child's body now?"

"It's been more than half a month since the death of the child. The child will not be killed. He was buried in the Royal Cemetery five days ago."

Gu Yun frowned. "It's not clear yet. How can we bury the child?"

Zhuo Qing rubbed her forehead, which had been aching for several days, and sighed: "all the doctors said that the child died of illness, and the child also had a high fever in those days. There are countless babies died of high fever every year. It seems to them that this matter is very clear. "

Knowing Zhuo Qing's great pressure, Gu Yunfang softened his voice and asked, "is there any other discovery on the body?" At present, there is no evidence, only hope that the body can leave clues.

"I only had time to do a preliminary examination. The empress dowager, the emperor, the empress and the concubines all came. I never had a chance to get close to the child's body again. If it wasn't for Qingfeng to send someone to inform me immediately after discovering the child's death, I might not even see the body. In fact, even if the examination is more careful, it is of little use, unless I am asked to do autopsy. " But it's impossible. She has no evidence. Even if the cause of her child's death is really suspicious, it's impossible for the royal family to dissect the emperor's son.

The child died so suddenly that Gu Yun was always in a panic when he heard the news. Thinking of the most sad man in the palace, Gu Yun asked anxiously, "how is she now?"

Zhuoqing shook her head and sighed, "it's not good." Half a month has been emaciated.

"I want to see her."

Zhuo Qing nodded and stood up and said, "Yan Hongtian said that he sympathizes with Qingfeng's loss of his son, and allows me to go to the Palace once in three days to accompany her. Today we can go to the palace. Let's go together."

"Good."

Zhuo Qing has Yan Hongtian's token in her hand. They enter the Imperial Palace smoothly. When they enter the Qingfeng palace, they see a baby's cradle under a big tree in the yard. Beside the cradle, a plain green maple with long hair is kneeling beside the cradle. Her eyes are staring at the cradle straight. She looks very dull. She has only one maid, Fuling, beside her.

Seeing them coming, Fuling slightly bowed down as if she was afraid to frighten her, and said in a very light voice, "Niang, madam Lou and young girl have come to see you."

She and half a month ago were very different. Her thin chin, dull eyes, pale face and thin body made her look as if she would faint at any time. A burst of heartache surged to her heart. Gu Yun whispered, "sister."

For a long time, Qingfeng looked back slowly, and her dazed eyes lingered on Gu Yun's face for a long time, as if to recognize who she was, and calmly said, "you come back, sit down." The hoarse voice is very weak, almost blown away by the wind. She doesn't cry or make noise, but she lets herself fall into endless sorrow and ignores all the people and things around her. Gu Yun gently advised, "people can't come back to life after death. You should not bring down your body."

As if he didn't hear it, Qingfeng still stared at the baby's cradle like that. His eyes didn't blink, and his mouth would smile from time to time, but the smile was full of bitterness.

Gu Yun suddenly has a fire in his heart. Who is so vicious that he can't let go of the baby?! Torture a mother like this! If it's really him, she's going to get justice for the child.

"Come here for a second."

Tuckahoe didn't understand why Gu Yun called her, but Qingfeng didn't stop her. She had to follow Gu Yun to the other side of the yard, and they stood still. Gu Yun asked in a deep voice, "who was the first one to find the child dead?"

Tuckahoe a Zheng, low voice return way: "it is maidservant."

"Say again what you know on the day of the incident, think it out and say it again. Don't leave out any details."

Poria hesitated for a while, turned around a little and looked at the green maple not far away. Gu Yun turned to block her sight and whispered, "tell the truth."

Gu Yun's voice is not high, but there is a kind of momentum that people dare not disobey. After thinking for a long time, Poria cocos whispered back: "after the full moon feast, the third prince caught cold and has been feverish. The royal doctor will go to the palace to treat the prince every day. In the early morning of that day, Hu Taiyi came before he arrived... "

"Don't talk about it. Step back." Tuckahoe just said a word, be scolded by green maple mercilessly, tuckahoe frightens facial expression to change slightly, hurriedly retreated to go out.

Qingfeng's face is blue and iron. At last, his expression is no longer numb. He seems to be suppressing some emotions. Gu Yun comes to her and asks, "why don't you let her say it?"

Turning his head to the other side, Qingfeng did not dare to meet Gu Yun's eyes. He whispered back, "the emperor has gone. I don't want to mention these things again."

Her obvious perfunctory evasive words and deeds make Gu Yun feel more suspicious. He tentatively asks, "if he is not dead, you are not going to investigate him?"

Suddenly raised his head, green maple stared at Gu Yun, his eyes were deeply hurt, his hoarse voice sounded sad and worried, "how do you want to investigate? All the doctors said that huang'er died of illness. Who am I going to investigate? Even if he didn't die of illness, the affairs of the harem can't be managed by the punishment department. Finally, they didn't fall to Lou Suxin and Xin Yuening to check! People are dead. What's the use of finding out! "

Too excited for her weak body to bear, coughing up, she covered her chest, turned her back, and said in a strong voice: "the child has been settled down, and you don't have to worry about this. I'm tired. Let's go. "

Zhuo Qing and Gu Yun take a look at each other. They don't stimulate her any more. They come out of the Qingfeng hall together.

Gu Yun said with a dignified face: "Qingfeng should know that there is something strange about this matter, and there must be a little clue, just don't want us to participate."

Zhuo Qing obviously saw it, sighed in a low voice: "this case is quite different from the case you investigated before. It's not only a murder case, but also involves many power struggles. Yan Hongtian is not a fool. He has two young sons. Why hasn't he heard of them? The rights and interests are more complicated than we think. In a word, you must not act rashly. "

Gu Yun naturally understood Zhuo Qing's words and couldn't help cursing, "what a trouble!"

Zhuo Qing patted Gu Yun's hand and said in a low voice: "I know you are right and wrong. If something isn't black in your heart, it should be white. But the harem is just a gray place, and nothing can be too clear or too confused. When I saw Qingfeng for the first time, she was very strong and stubborn. Now she has gradually understood how to live in the palace. We can't ignore this matter, but we can't manage it in a big way. Since she doesn't want us to intervene, we will observe in secret, find the opportunity to take her hand, and her temperament will not give up. "
