Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Nanny Wang said, "I have lived for more than 30 years and have never heard that drinking too much licorice soup can cause death. I do know that licorice can relieve cough and reduce phlegm."

Lian Ye also said, "I don't know. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. A little more or a little less of a medicine can cause such a big harm. A life was lost just like that. The third prince had a bright future, but I didn't expect that he would die in just a few months."

Nanny Wang explained, "Imperial Physician Mei also said that a baby's body cannot withstand such a large amount of medicine. It is completely different from us adults. That's why the Third Prince had a whole body convulsion and died before he could even breathe."

Imperial Physician Mei also concluded that the third prince died because he consumed an excessive amount of licorice soup, so there was no other reason.

Jiang Fenghua said, "If someone knew, that person would deliberately induce the wet nurse and Tang Qianran to increase the dosage."

Lian Ye asked, "Who is that person? We have interrogated everyone in Changchun Palace and found no one suspicious."

"If someone wants the Third Prince to be sick and have a cough, and therefore uses the most common licorice soup to relieve the cough, and then induces the wet nurse and Tang Qianran to increase the dosage to relieve the cough, but the dosage of the Chinese medicine is gradually increased without him noticing, and the illness becomes more serious, who is this person?" Jiang Fenghua asked again.

Nanny Wang said, "It was Nanny Zhang and the wet nurse. They both wanted to take care of the Third Prince so that they could get a generous reward from Concubine Tang. They disliked each other and took it out on the Third Prince. Concubine Tang even handed them a knife, and in the end, it was the Third Prince who was harmed."

"Knife?" Lian Ye asked in confusion.

Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "The knife that Nanny Wang was talking about is the 'silver' in Tang Qianran's hand. She would never have thought that it was her generosity that made people blinded by greed and harmed her own son. That's why people's greed can never be satisfied."

Suddenly, another thought flashed through Jiang Fenghua's mind. Perhaps someone took advantage of Tang Qianran's generosity to make Nanny Zhang and the wet nurse compete for favor, and Tang Qianran only wanted to hold the child to show off and ignored the child's illness.

If this person really exists, he must know Tang Qianran very well, and even know that she is generous. Everyone in the palace knows that she is generous.

Or maybe he has a grudge against Tang Qianran...

The person who has the biggest conflict with Tang Qianran in the harem is Song Jing. Song Jing is also the mother of the child. Because of her usually careless personality, Jiang Fenghua excluded her.

Song Jing now has a son with a high rank, and her uncle is a general. Why should she dirty her hands? Besides, everyone in the palace knows that Song Jing and Tang Qianran have a scandal, and the two have never gotten along. If the third prince was murdered, the first suspect would be Song Jing, but the people who killed the third prince were obviously Tang Qianran and her servants.

Gao Qingtong has even less reason.

Jiang Fenghua thought: Am I overthinking? There aren't so many conspiracies. She is being too cautious.

Jiang Fenghua returned to Chenxi Palace and took a nap. He didn't wake up until the afternoon.

When she came out of the bedroom, the main hall of Chenxi Palace was full of people, all of them were concubines in the harem.

Led by Song Jing and Gao Qingtong, everyone saluted in unison when they saw the queen coming, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen. May you be blessed with good health."

Jiang Fenghua sat in the main seat, "No need to be polite!"

After everyone was seated, Song Jing was the first to ask, "We all know what happened in Changchun Palace. We are so sad for the Third Prince. He passed away at such a young age."

Gao Qingtong's eyes were also red, and it was obvious that she had been crying. "The third prince is the same age as the second princess. He hasn't had time to grow up. His life hasn't even begun, but it's been frozen. God is really unfair to him."

Zhang Jingjing also felt sorry for the child. "I lived in the same palace with Concubine Tang at the beginning, and I watched her child being born. How could he be gone just like that when he was so cute?"

Helan Yanran also said, "That day, Lady Tang talked to me for quite a while, and I even held the Third Prince in my arms. She was obviously fine."

The other concubines all expressed their condolences. It was a pity that the concubines who entered the palace had finally become pregnant with the emperor's heir, but Concubine Tang got it easily but did not cherish it, and ended up killing the prince.

Jiang Fenghua knew that the Third Prince’s affair could not be concealed. Once the coffin was carried out of Changchun Palace, everyone knew about it.

"The next forty-nine days are fasting days, and the entire harem must pray for the third prince. I will inform everyone today that after you go down, you will each copy some scriptures for the third prince. After forty-nine days, take them to the Huguo Temple and burn them to help the third prince ascend to heaven as soon as possible." Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.

The concubines said again, "Yes."

That night, Aoxue came back and she was injured.

Jiang Fenghua asked, "Who hurt you?"

"A group of men in black. Last night, after I followed Qin Yunyan out of the palace, I found her wandering at the door of a brothel. I waited for a long time but she didn't go in. But after a while, men in black attacked me. Fortunately, Ayu brought people to rescue me. Later, Qin Yunyan suddenly disappeared, and we were not sure whether she had entered the brothel. Ayu originally wanted to sneak in to check the situation, but I stopped her. I thought I would go to the palace first and report to the queen first."

Before Aoxue left the palace, Jiang Fenghua asked someone to notify Lin Yu to meet her outside the palace. Unexpectedly, something almost happened.

"What's the name of the brothel?" Jiang Fenghua asked.

"Xiangnuan Tower." Aoxue said.

Jiang Fenghua pondered for a moment before saying, "I have some impression."

Aoxue explained, "Your Majesty has forgotten that a year ago, when we appeared on Baihua Lake, the flower boats of Xiangnuan Tower were also there, and those people spent a fortune on Miss Xiangxiang of Xiangnuan Tower."

Jiang Fenghua said, "Qin Yunyan was going to Xiangnuan Tower, but you were injured by the man in black, which means that the other party knew that she was being followed."

Hong Xiu said, "I know Xiangnuan Tower has been popular in Shengjing City for more than a year. Miss Xiangxiang is very popular and has attracted many young masters from the Shi family. The business has even surpassed that of Yichun Tower..."

Aoxue did not ask Hongxiu why she knew about Xiangnuanlou, because Lin Yu took her to Yichunlou, and only then did she know that Lin Yu was the person in charge of Yichunlou, and the real person in charge behind the scenes was actually the Queen Mother. The same was true for Xiangyalou, and some other businesses were directed by them behind the scenes. Even the shop owners did not know who the real boss was.

Hongxiu is in charge of these account books. They are actually quite rich! They don't have to worry about their livelihood at all.

Jiang Fenghua listened to them and recalled what happened a year ago. The courtesan Xiangxiang had been wearing a veil, but she was sure that she was not Qin Yunyan, nor was she Su Qingqing. Their temperaments were different.
