Chapter 644: Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me!
Seeing that the blood of the two young eunuchs had also merged into it, the emperor, who had been holding on for a long time, suddenly shook and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
Su Peisheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly stepped forward to support the person who fell backwards and shouted in panic.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty...are you okay?"
Hongyao's mind started working rapidly at this moment. He ran out quickly and shouted to Xiao Xiazi who was about to enter the door.
"Eunuch Xia, the Emperor is feeling unwell. Please quickly call the imperial physician."
After giving the order, he knelt down obediently in the corner of the hall, muttering to himself: The emperor was so angry at these two that he vomited blood. He and his seventh brother are finished this time.
When Hongzhan rushed in, he caught a glimpse of his two younger brothers huddled in the corner like quails.
He didn't care about the two people kneeling on the ground and looked at Su Peisheng anxiously.
"Eunuch Su, I met Eunuch Xia outside. He said the Emperor is not feeling well. How is he now?"
"Replying to Sixth Prince, Your Majesty..."
Before Su Peisheng could get to the point, the emperor lying on the couch raised his hand.
"Hongzhan, I just have a relapse of my old illness, don't worry."
Hongzhan was precociously intelligent. If he connected all the events together, he might be able to discover the real reason why he vomited blood in anger.
The emperor had an idea and pointed at the two people in the corner.
"It's all because of those two rebellious sons!"
"I have finished dealing with the memorials, and since we haven't been together for some time, I brought Su Peisheng over to have dinner with you."
"Who knew that those two rebellious sons would just happen to pay their respects to a rooster, constantly calling that flat-haired beast 'Ama'? It's just... cough cough cough..."
"Father Emperor, calm down!"
Hongzhan climbed onto the couch to help the emperor calm down.
If what the Emperor said is true, then the two younger brothers did go a little too far.
But the Emperor is usually relatively tolerant towards his younger brothers and sisters-in-law. How could he be so angry over these two people's mischief?
No matter what his two younger brothers did, he had to follow the emperor's words at this time.
"Father, my seventh and eighth brothers have behaved inappropriately. It is because I failed to teach them well."
Hongzhan spoke with self-blame.
"I am willing to accept the punishment! Please calm down, Your Majesty, and take care of yourself."
I have been busy with schoolwork lately and have indeed neglected my two younger brothers.
Hongzhan decided to do his homework with his two younger brothers in the future and not let them waste time anymore.
The two brothers kneeling in the corner trembled, and they didn't even dare to look up.
After hearing Hongzhan's words, the emperor patted him on the shoulder with relief.
"Hongzhan, you're busy with your studies, so why waste time? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you. I will personally teach Xiaoqi and Xiaoba for a while."
"Su Peisheng, have the servants pack the luggage for the Seventh and Eighth Princes and move them to the Yangxin Palace temporarily."
"Yes, I obey."
Su Peisheng was a thoughtful person. He took away the two young eunuchs who had just bled.
The emperor rode back in the dragon chariot, and Hongxia and Hongyao followed behind holding hands.
Hongxia looked at Hongyao nervously several times and asked anxiously.
"Eighth brother, will we... get... beaten?"
He remembered that the emperor, in his rage, had not even spared the rooster and had it sent directly to the imperial kitchen, and he felt even more frightened.
"Seventh Brother, I don't know."
Hongyao held his hand tightly and comforted him in a low voice.
"Sixth Brother said a lot of good things about us, so he won't be beaten too hard."
The emperor did not use too harsh a hand. He just slapped each of them twice and strictly ordered them not to disclose the stupid things they had done today.
Then he asked Su Peisheng to send someone to watch the two of them practicing calligraphy.
Not long after, An Lingrong received a message from Hongzhan.
"Master, the Emperor suddenly brought the Eighth Prince to the Yangxin Palace. Will it be..."
Bao Ge was extremely anxious, fearing that the young master would be punished by the emperor.
An Lingrong smiled and shook her head, "Hongyao is the emperor's biological son. The emperor knows everything. You don't need to worry."
The emperor brought the two children back to the Yangxin Palace, certainly with the intention of disciplining them personally.
She chewed over the words that Hongzhan had passed on to her carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Bao Ge, go to Xianfu Palace in person and tell Concubine Jing that the Emperor has invited the Seventh and Eighth Princes to stay in the Yangxin Palace today, and that the rooster raised by the Seventh Prince has been sent to the Imperial Kitchen."
Bao Ge looked confused.
"My Lady, why...why do you specifically mention a rooster?"
"Just follow my instructions and pass on the message. Imperial Concubine Jing will understand."
An Lingrong didn't want to explain too much, she just had a vague guess.
The specific situation still needs to be clarified by Xianfu Palace.
About quarter of an hour later, the confused Baoque came back with a message.
"Master, Imperial Concubine Jing said that the Seventh Prince's rooster had fallen ill, causing him to be unable to eat. It would be a good idea to send it to the Imperial Kitchen now, so she doesn't have to worry about it."
"Okay, I understand."
An Lingrong smiled slightly. Concubine Jing admitted that she had drugged the rooster. The emperor must be suspicious of the blood test that day.
"Bao Ge, the two young masters will definitely be scolded this time. Go to the small kitchen and see if there are any cakes left. Pack up a lunch box and call Bao Que on your way out."
An Lingrong's hands kept moving, trying to finish cleaning the purse.
"This servant pays respects to the Majesty."
"Get up."
An Lingrong said without raising her head.
"Cui Jinxi has contacted the person behind the scenes and is probably planning to take action against the Wen family. Have someone give Su Peisheng some advice."
"It's getting hot, and there will be a lot of mosquitoes. I've embroidered an insect repellent sachet for the emperor. Please deliver it to him on my behalf."
"Bao Ge has gone to prepare the food boxes. Can you take them to Hong Xia and Hong Yao and see if the two children are okay?"
Baoque responded respectfully without asking any questions.
The next day, Su Peisheng, after being reminded by Xiao Xiazi, immediately sent him to the prison to check.
More than an hour later, Xiao Xiazi found Su Peisheng out of breath.
"Master, something big happened in the prison..."
When Su Peisheng heard this, he trembled so much that he could hardly hold the whisk.
But after turning around, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. This was really great news for him.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Su Peisheng's face changed and he trotted forward.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the prison: the Wen family was poisoned, and only Wen Shichu's fiancée, Miss Zhen Er, survived."
When the emperor heard that only Zhen Yurao survived, his face changed suddenly and he slapped the table hard.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me!"
