An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 367 Old things happen again

After all, they were still at the banquet, and no matter how excited the Fifth Prince was, he could only bow, change his clothes, and go to take the pulse.

Su Peisheng asked Xiao Xiazi to follow the Fifth Prince, while he went to look for the Fourth Prince who he had not seen for a long time.

Ling Rong saw these people coming and going in a hurry, and guessed that it was the Fourth Prince who attacked the Fifth Prince. She felt uneasy, but seeing that the Fifth Prince was fine, she did not send anyone to visit him.

Because the matter was settled like this, but not long after, Su Peisheng hurried over again and whispered something in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's expression changed immediately. His face turned extremely dark. He even slammed his palm on the table. When he asked the queen to pick up the wine glass, he stood there in a daze.

Concubine Qi was still smiling, but she was frightened by the emperor's action and immediately fell silent. She opened her mouth for a long time before lowering her head in disappointment.

"Your Majesty, you are so angry, but what happened in the previous dynasty?"

In the end, it was the Queen who asked first, but the Emperor shook his head and did not respond. He just told the concubines to continue the banquet.

The queen nodded and watched the emperor leave before she comforted everyone and served new fruit drinks, saying that it was the emperor's order.

Lingrong held the cup, thinking about the emperor's expression and the missing Fourth Prince, but she couldn't figure out what could have made the emperor so angry.

On the other side, the emperor, led by Su Peisheng, walked with big strides in anger. After turning several corridors and bypassing several bushes, he finally arrived at where the Fourth Prince was.

The door of the room was closed at this time, and even the windows were closed tightly in the summer, but the sounds from inside were not blocked. Filthy sounds continued to be heard, mixed with a few scoldings and pleas for mercy.

"what happened."

"This..." Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had clearly knocked on the Fourth Prince's door when he left. Although he did not say who he was, he had indirectly reminded the Fourth Prince that someone had discovered him.

But who could have thought that the Fourth Prince showed no fear at all and started doing that kind of thing in the house again.

The emperor was framed after drinking and had sex with a palace maid and gave birth to the fourth prince.

Now that the Fourth Prince's past mistakes have happened again, how can the Emperor not be angry?

Su Peisheng stole a glance at the emperor's expression, which was indeed as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was about to get angry.

"Go call the door."

The emperor twisted the beads in his hand and turned his head away slightly, as if he didn't want to see those obscene scenes.

Su Peisheng had no choice but to knock on the door, but after knocking twice, no one responded from inside, and the emperor snorted coldly behind him.

Su Peisheng could only increase his strength and slam the door. The Fourth Prince inside was annoyed by the noise and yelled, "Get lost! Don't disturb my good deeds. Be careful or I'll kill you!"

He spoke these words clearly, and there was no sense of drunkenness at all. Su Peisheng was not afraid. After all, it was the Emperor who asked him to knock on the door. As long as the Emperor did not threaten to chop off his head, it would be useless no matter how loudly the Fourth Prince shouted.

"Just push the door."

The emperor said a word and Su Peisheng took action, but the Fourth Prince had locked the door before doing anything, and Su Peisheng was so skinny that he couldn't break the door open.

Su Peisheng looked at the emperor again. At the emperor's look, he immediately called the guards to knock on the door. After three times, the door was finally knocked open. The Fourth Prince cursed vaguely again, but Su Peisheng did not hear it clearly.

All the guards left, and only Su Peisheng accompanied the emperor in.

Walking around the screen, as expected, I saw a messy room with clothes scattered all over the floor. There was almost no place to step.

On the couch, the Fourth Prince was entangled with a woman. He didn't let go of the woman until he felt someone coming in.

He seemed a little confused. After shaking his head, he could see clearly who came in.

"Your Majesty? Your son…"

The emperor stared at the Fourth Prince, while the other person on the couch desperately pulled on the quilt to hide, trying to reduce his presence.

The emperor did not reply, and no one else dared to speak. They just sat or stood quietly.

After a long while, the emperor finally spoke, "Call the imperial physician to come and check on the Fourth Prince to see if he is crazy enough to do such a despicable thing."

"The slave obeys the order."

Su Peisheng hurriedly agreed and followed the emperor out of the door step by step. The door that had been kicked open closed again. The two guards who had just helped stood guard at the door, obviously not intending to let the Fourth Prince out.

But the woman was still in the room, and he didn't know which hall she was serving in. Su Peisheng sighed repeatedly, not knowing whether he had had any bad luck recently or not. All kinds of bad luck befell him.

Not long after, Doctor Li arrived, bringing with him a bowl of medicine, which was taken by a maid and fed to the woman who had a wild night with the Fourth Prince. Obviously, the Emperor was afraid that the Fourth Prince would repeat his own mistakes and give birth to a disgusting child.

Originally, Su Peisheng wanted to invite Imperial Physician He to come over, but unfortunately Imperial Physician He was out treating the Fifth Prince. Imperial Physician Li volunteered, so he was chosen to come.

After taking the Fourth Prince's pulse, Doctor Li said that the Fourth Prince was fine, he just drank too much and had some blood boiling.

Now that's what happened. I originally thought that the Fourth Prince was framed, but it turned out that he was just drunk, grabbed the palace maids to entertain himself, and almost performed a live sex show in front of the emperor.

However, the Fourth Prince refused to accept what Doctor Li said. He felt that his head was dizzy, his steps were weak, and his evil spirit was flowing uncontrollably. He must have been the victim of someone's conspiracy.

"This...what did the prince use? Please tell me everything."

“We only ate and drank at the banquet, and now the banquet has not ended yet, so these things should all be on the table.

I will send someone to take you there to investigate."

Seeing that the Fourth Prince was trying to bribe Doctor Li, Su Peisheng hurriedly said, "Let a servant follow Doctor Li. There are many people at the banquet, and if the Fourth Prince's personal attendant goes but doesn't see him, the Empress will definitely be concerned and ask if the Fourth Prince is sick.

If any bad words are spread because of this, or if the Fourth Prince's reputation is damaged, I will not be able to explain to the Emperor.

What's more, the Fourth Prince felt that he was framed. If he investigated with such fanfare, what would happen if he alerted the enemy? Wouldn't the Fourth Prince suffer a loss in silence?"

There was some truth in what Su Peisheng said, so the Fourth Prince no longer insisted. He was still counting on Su Peisheng to say a few good words for him in front of the Emperor, so it was not a good idea for him to show distrust in him at this time.

"Then I will take Doctor Li with me. Here is the hangover soup. Please drink some, it won't take long for Doctor Li to find out the truth."

"By the way," the Fourth Prince called Su Peisheng. He did not have a deep impression of Doctor Li and always felt that this doctor was not trustworthy. "Why don't you see Doctor Zhou or Doctor He?"

"It's like this, Fourth Prince. Imperial Physician Zhou is on leave today and is not in the Yuanmingyuan. Imperial Physician He went to Fifth Prince's place and had not returned to the Imperial Hospital when I went to fetch him. So I asked Imperial Physician Li to come over.

Doctor Li is also an old man in the palace, and his medical skills are top-notch, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

"It's good that you are a doctor trusted by the emperor. Go ahead. I will be waiting for your good news."

Su Peisheng responded and finally got the chance to leave with Doctor Li. He did not go to the banquet immediately but took Doctor Li to report to the Emperor first, and told the Emperor everything about the Fourth Prince's physical condition.

Upon hearing that there was no sign of poisoning on the Fourth Prince's body, the Emperor's expression was one of rage.

"It is indeed the child of a vulgar man, and his behavior is no different from that lowly maid.

The emperor's voice echoed throughout the palace. Su Peisheng and Doctor Li were both silent, wishing they had not been born with those two ears so that they would not be able to hear this royal secret.

After all, if you hear too much about this kind of thing, what you will get is not a promotion, but only silencing.

"The Third Prince said that his condition was not caused by drinking alone, but was definitely murdered, so he hoped that I would take Doctor Li to the banquet to investigate.

For the sake of the Fourth Prince's innocence, Your Majesty, why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Li to take a look?"

The emperor was obviously still angry. He snorted impatiently, and Su Peisheng left in disgrace with Doctor Li.

Doctor Li was confused and when he left the main hall he was still asking Su Peisheng whether he wanted to go to the banquet to check what wine the Fourth Prince had drunk and what dishes he had eaten.

"Of course we have to check it out, but Doctor Li, please keep a low profile. No matter who asks you anything, don't say anything and don't answer anything. Do you understand?"

"I understand, but all the ladies are at the banquet. If we just go like this, will it be possible..."

"Doctor Li, don't worry. I have asked people to remove all the food from the Fourth Prince's banquet table. You can just go and check it out when the time comes."

"Eunuch Su is indeed very thoughtful. He is worthy of being a favorite who has been with the emperor for many years."

Doctor Li flattered Su Peisheng openly and secretly, and it was obvious that he was trying to climb up the social ladder.

However, Su Peisheng just laughed it off and did not intend to respond to Doctor Li's words, "No, no, Doctor Li has made a name for himself in the Imperial Hospital. I'm afraid he will be more popular than Doctor Wei in the future."

"Eunuch Su is really exaggerating. My medical skills are just average. I am really not as good as Doctor Wei."

"We're here, Doctor Li," Su Peisheng opened the door and motioned for him to check what the Fourth Prince had eaten.

Doctor Li finally stopped talking, picked up a silver needle and tested the food one by one, and from time to time he took out some other things from the medicine box for testing.

Su Peisheng didn't quite understand it either, but after a cup of tea, Doctor Li finished the treatment and told Su Peisheng that there was nothing unusual about the food.

"Doctor Li, is there really no sign of any drug being administered?"

“Really not, but I checked the wine that Fifth Prince used, it’s a stronger wine, even if you don’t drink much, it’s easy to get drunk.

I think it's a drinking problem. Eunuch Su can check the wine at tonight's banquet to see if only the Fourth Prince's is different. If they are all the same, then we can be sure that no one is framing us."

Su Peisheng hurriedly took people to inquire, and Fan Yaoguang, who was in charge of serving the dishes, confirmed that the same drinks were served throughout the banquet and there was nothing different.

As for why the others did not appear drunk, I think it was because most of them were women who did not have the habit of drinking on a daily basis, so they were so sober.

Moreover, the wine is not as strong as imagined. The Fourth Prince must have consumed too much, which led to this situation.

In this way, it was not a frame-up. Su Peisheng learned all the circumstances and went to report to the emperor. The emperor was naturally very angry. If he was being plotted, the emperor could still "empathize" and forgive the fourth prince.

But now that it was confirmed that the Fourth Prince himself was such a dissolute person, the Emperor angrily threw all the calligraphy and paintings on the table out.

"Tell him to reflect on himself. During the time I am in Yuanmingyuan, I will not allow him to leave the house.

Drag that slave girl to Hongli's doorstep and beat her to death with a stick. Let Hongli watch the execution with his own eyes!"

The maid was just a servant in the Old Summer Palace. No one came forward to plead for her. In addition, the concubines were still feasting, so no one knew that a maid had been beaten to death at this time.

Until the end of the banquet, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince had not returned. Hongyu was obviously a little depressed and remained silent all the way without saying a word.

Ling Rong thought that she couldn't let him fall asleep in such an unhappy state, so she took him to find the Fifth Prince. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the Fifth Prince's residence, they were stopped by He Anming who came out.

"My queen, the Fifth Prince is feeling unwell. You should not take the Eighth Prince to visit him."

"Fifth Prince just fell into the water, is it really that serious?"

He Anming shook his head. There were quite a few people here, so he couldn't explain. "Fifth Prince was poisoned by a special drug, so I prepared an antidote for him, but it's not very effective. Fifth Prince still needs to relieve himself."

Hearing this, Lingrong realized what kind of drug the Fifth Prince had been given. Why would they give such sentimental things to a child? Could it be that they wanted the Fifth Prince to make the same mistake as the Emperor?

No wonder the Fifth Prince wanted to jump into the lake. The effect of the medicine has taken effect and he might make a big mistake on this important day.

"Doctor He, could it be that... the Fifth Prince fell into the water tonight because he was drugged?"

He Anming nodded, looking exactly the same. But Lingrong was a woman after all, so he didn't say more details, but repeatedly emphasized that the Fifth Prince was fine, and asked Lingrong and the Eighth Prince to rest assured.

"Then the Fifth Prince should be fully recovered tomorrow, Hongyu, let's come visit the Fifth Prince tomorrow, okay?"

Hongyu didn't understand what had happened to the Fifth Prince. He just thought he was seriously ill, so he nodded and agreed to Lingrong's proposal.

"I still have something to report to the Emperor, so I will take my leave of you, Your Majesty." He Anming bowed to Ling Rong, "There is one more thing. I heard that something happened to the Fourth Prince tonight, but I was busy helping the Fifth Prince to cure the effects of the medicine, so I declined.

I guess that the Fourth Prince is in the same situation as the Fifth Prince, and was infected at the banquet. Your Majesty can pay attention to this matter, I think it will be helpful. "
