Chapter 942: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Sixty-four)
Could Song Qingting harm her son for the Seventh Prince? Song Qingting was so cowardly, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, just like the Seventh Prince. How could she possibly have the guts to harm her son?
She believed that Song Qingting harmed Geng Qianqian, but she didn't believe that she harmed her son!
The prince said helplessly:
"Empress Luo, to be honest, I don't believe Second Miss Song would harm Fourth Brother, but this was personally pointed out by County Lady Zhou, and someone else saw Second Miss Song approaching Fourth Brother's horse.
My fourth brother's horse and Miss Geng's horse were both fed the same drug, which had previously been contaminated by Miss Geng, County Lady Zhou, and Second Miss Song. According to County Lady Zhou and Miss Geng's confessions, this was because they had each touched the bells Second Miss Song had placed in the horses' ears. While Second Miss Song had ostensibly been playing tricks in the horses' ears, she was actually trying to conceal the drug's presence. It just so happened that I had a doctor nearby who had seen the drug and knew how to mix it, thus revealing the identity of the person who had touched it.
"The Second Miss Song did indeed buy the relevant herbs and hired a doctor to make the medicine. The doctor has already confessed that it was Song Qingting, the Second Miss of the Song family, who asked him to make the medicine. With all the evidence, it's hard not to believe."
But Concubine Luo still didn't believe what the prince said. She gave a long speech, which actually had many loopholes.
Concubine Luo was furious, her words coming out one after another: "How could it be such a coincidence that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happened to have a doctor who could identify this kind of medicine? With such advanced medical skills, why didn't the Crown Prince invite that doctor to treat your fourth brother? Could it be that his concubines are more important than his brothers?"
I heard that when the emperor was injured, the prince did not dismount to see how his brother was injured, but ran to his concubine first. I even want to meet that concubine to see how beautiful she is and how she has attracted the prince's attention.
Also, where is Miss Song's confession? Why didn't I see it?"
The prince's expression was a little cold. Concubine Luo was so disrespectful to him, but his father did not speak for him and let Concubine Luo question him.
The Crown Prince explained, "The doctor I have is only skilled in some minor techniques, and his medical skills are not very advanced. I am afraid that he will delay Fourth Brother's treatment. Since Concubine Luo has mentioned this, I will send for him to see Fourth Brother. As for Second Miss Song, she fainted in panic after the incident was exposed, and she hasn't woken up yet."
After listening to the Crown Prince's explanation, Concubine Luo thanked him lightly and turned to the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I've heard in the palace that County Lady Zhou and Second Miss Song have had several conflicts, even coming to blows. On one occasion, Second Miss Song was beaten so badly that she was carried out of the palace and couldn't get out of bed for half a month. How can you believe what County Lady Zhou says?"
The emperor discovered that his concubines had believed the rumors in the capital and waved his hand, saying, "How could Miss Zhou be so powerful? The story about her being unable to get out of bed for half a month is all fake. They were just children, playing around. Aren't they reconciled now?"
Concubine Luo found the emperor's words very funny. Yes, they had reconciled, but now they were stabbing each other in the back.
"Besides, I don't believe anyone would do that... According to County Lady Zhou, she provided the key medicinal ingredients for the medicine. So, she must be implicated once the matter is exposed. How could she let it go so quickly?
She didn't see Second Miss Song personally drug the emperor's horse, which means it's very likely that someone else got hold of Second Miss Song's medicine and wanted to harm the emperor and put the blame on Second Miss Song."
The emperor nodded and ordered the prince to hand over all the files to the Dali Temple and let the Dali Temple Minister personally take charge of the case.
The prince clenched his fists in his sleeves, secretly blaming Concubine Luo for being difficult to deal with. Now that his fourth brother was injured and disabled, Concubine Luo started to torment them.
My father is also heartless. Even though my mother came to visit my fourth brother in person, my father was too impatient to listen to my mother's pleas. He insisted that all the princes at the horse farm kneel outside the hall and pray for my fourth brother, saying that they would kneel until my fourth brother woke up.
Why should the other princes suffer with the useless Fourth Brother? If he's a useless man, what's the point of investigating? And yet the Emperor insists on harping on this, is he going to alienate his sons over this useless person?
If it weren't for the fact that he was in charge of investigating the case, his father would have made him kneel as well, saying that he, the crown prince, had failed to take good care of his younger brother.
"Then Father, what about those people in the stable?"
