Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 324 The Crown Prince was Demoted to a Commoner
Bai Qianqian gently held Xie Mochen's hand and said, "My Lord, don't worry and go back. I'm here."
Xie Mochen looked at her with emotion and nodded.
Xie Mochen led a group of people and rushed to the capital at full speed.
Bai Qianqian was in Guanzhou. Although she was worried, she still handled various affairs in an orderly manner.
In the girls' school, she personally taught the students, encouraging them to study hard and not be distracted by changes in the outside world.
Those poor women felt strong in their hearts when they saw Bai Qianqian's determined eyes.
In the manor, she and Aunt Chen discussed how to further increase crop yields and how to benefit more people.
In the capital, as soon as Xie Mochen arrived, he went straight to the palace.
The emperor lay on the hospital bed, pale and breathing weakly.
The Sixth Prince, Bai Jinyan and others gathered around the bed, their faces filled with worry.
Xie Mochen inquired about the emperor's condition in detail.
Looking at Bai Jinyan, he asked with a cold face: "Sister, what is the condition of the emperor? Is there any way to cure him?"
Bai Jinyan frowned and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the emperor has been poisoned severely this time, his pulse is disordered, and his condition is very critical. However, I have discussed a preliminary diagnosis and treatment plan with the imperial doctors."
There was no need for Xie Mochen to continue asking.
Bai Jinyan took a deep breath and said slowly: "First, we need to use thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and several precious medicinal materials to make a decoction to detoxify and replenish the emperor's qi. Secondly, we need to use acupuncture to stimulate the emperor's acupuncture points every day to promote the circulation of qi and blood. Thirdly, the diet must be extremely delicate, and only some light but nutritious liquid food can be taken."
The imperial doctors standing by nodded one after another, saying that they would do their best to assist Bai Jinyan.
Imperial Physician Zhang continued, "Your Highness, during this diagnosis and treatment process, no step can be missed. We must always pay attention to the changes in the emperor's condition and adjust the prescription and treatment methods in a timely manner."
Xie Mochen nodded sternly: "Everyone must do their best. If you can save the emperor, I will reward you handsomely."
Everyone responded in unison: "We will do our best to live up to the prince's trust."
Thus, the operation to rescue the emperor was carried out in a tense and orderly manner.
At the same time, they began to secretly investigate the person who poisoned the person.
Xie Mochen summoned the palace's secret guards and secretly instructed them to start from the emperor's daily diet, the people he came into contact with, and the flow of people in the palace.
These secret guards knew that this matter was of great importance. They all looked serious and acted quickly after receiving the order.
They first checked the palace maids and eunuchs in the emperor's bedroom, asking them one by one whether there were any abnormal circumstances during the period before the emperor fell ill.
Some palace maids and eunuchs stuttered because they were nervous, but after careful analysis, nothing suspicious was found.
Next, they investigated the imperial kitchen.
The cooks and servants who were responsible for the emperor's meals were gathered together and interrogated one by one.
The source of ingredients and production process of each dish are examined in detail.
A young cook mentioned that one day he saw a strange figure wandering around the imperial kitchen, but he did not pay much attention to it at the time.
This clue attracted everyone's attention, and people were immediately sent to track down the identity of this strange figure.
The truth of the case was finally revealed and the mastermind behind it was brought to justice.
Xie Mochen and the Sixth Prince were personally responsible for interrogating these suspects.
In the dark dungeon, the candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was depressing and solemn.
The eunuch Liu Rumei was chained and kneeling on the ground in a miserable state, but there was still a trace of unwillingness and stubbornness in his eyes.
Xie Mochen stared at him coldly with a sharp gaze, and said sternly: "How dare you, a traitor, commit such a heinous crime? Why don't you confess the truth?"
The eunuch snorted coldly, turned his head away and kept silent.
The Sixth Prince took a step forward, his tone filled with anger: "Now that the evidence is irrefutable, do you think you can escape the blame by not speaking?"
The eunuch trembled slightly, but still pretended to be calm.
Xie Mochen slammed the table, causing the objects on it to jump. "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"
The eunuch gritted his teeth but still refused to speak.
Seeing this, the Sixth Prince said, "If you confess, perhaps the Emperor will spare your life. Otherwise, not only will your life be in danger, but your family will also be implicated."
When he heard the word "family", the eunuch's face turned pale instantly.
His psychological defenses began to loosen a little.
Xie Mochen keenly caught this change and struck while the iron was hot: "Do you think Liu Rumei can protect you? She can't even protect herself now. As long as you tell the truth, we can plead with the emperor for you and give you a lighter sentence."
The eunuch finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, he slowly raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "It was... Miss Liu, she promised me that I would be the chief eunuch after the matter was completed, I was bewildered for a while, so I did such a stupid thing."
Xie Mochen and the Sixth Prince looked at each other, their eyes full of anger and contempt.
Xie Mochen continued to ask: "Then tell me the specific process of poisoning in detail."
The eunuch dared not hide anything anymore.
He explained in detail how he bribed the eunuch in the imperial kitchen, how he chose the poison, and how he poisoned the food without being seen by the public.
After the interrogation, Xie Mochen and the Sixth Prince walked out of the interrogation room. The sunlight shone on them, but it could not dispel the haze in their hearts.
This incident made them realize more clearly the cruelty of court struggles and the wickedness of human nature.
Soon, Liu Rumei was also arrested and brought to justice.
Faced with the dignified interrogation, she tried to make excuses at first.
But in the face of evidence, the psychological defenses eventually collapsed.
In order to get a chance of survival, Liu Rumei went crazy and betrayed the prince.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "The prince ordered me to do this! I was forced to do this, please forgive me!"
She kowtowed continuously, her forehead bleeding, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
When Xie Mochen and the Sixth Prince heard the news, they were shocked and their expressions became more solemn.
They are fully aware that this matter involves serious consequences and must be handled with caution.
Liu Rumei was still desperately begging for mercy: "I really know I was wrong. I am just a pawn in the hands of the prince. Everything was his idea. I will never dare to do it again. Please let me go!"
However, the law of the country is not merciful.
Xie Mochen looked at her coldly and said, "You have committed such a serious crime, how can you beg for mercy so easily? Everything needs to wait for the emperor to decide."
Afterwards, Xie Mochen and the Sixth Prince immediately went to the palace and reported this shocking news to the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious and the whole court was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
The emperor deposed the crown prince and demoted him to a commoner.
This news came like a bolt from the blue and spread throughout the capital in an instant.
When Crown Princess Bai Ruoyun heard the news, she felt a black screen before her eyes and fell straight backwards.
The maids around her screamed and hurriedly supported her.
