Chapter 988: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (110)
The fact that the prince was severely burned could not be concealed, and with the death of the Crown Prince, everyone knew that there was no hope for the prince to recover.
The more doctors who treated the prince, the harder it was to conceal his condition.
The other princes who were expected to become the crown prince inevitably had some thoughts in their minds. Even Zhao Jian, who had not yet healed from an old injury and had been lying in bed for several days, got out of bed immediately after learning about the Eastern Palace and followed his other brothers to the Eastern Palace to visit the crown prince.
The prince woke up once during the night, but his throat was completely destroyed and he could not make any sound. He could only slap the bed with his right hand. He was very emotional and soon fainted. When the eldest prince and others went there, the emperor and empress were already in the room and did not let them in to see the prince.
The eldest prince specifically asked the imperial physician about the prince's injuries. Although the imperial physician was vague and did not tell the prince's specific condition, everyone knew that such burns could not be healed.
Along the way, a group of palace maids in the East Palace have been replaced. The new palace maids are all very cautious and dare not make any mistakes.
While Zhao Jian was shocked, he also thought secretly in his heart, since the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are both no match for him, then there are only four people left who have the possibility of becoming the next emperor.
A one in four chance!
On the surface, Zhao Jian was naturally as sad as the other princes about what happened to the prince, but only he himself knew what was really going on.
He glanced at his third brother. The third prince used to follow the crown prince, but after the crown prince made mistakes several times, the third prince slowly showed up. He had been hiding very deeply before.
The prince was burned, and I wonder which brother was behind it? Zhao Jian didn't believe that all this was done by the Crown Princess. Even if it was, there must be someone else who fanned the flames.
Zhao Jian didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes plotting against her as a good girl from a noble family. The Crown Princess would really ignore everything and even abandon her family. She even dared to go crazy and drag the Crown Prince to his grave.
According to Zhao Jian, the Crown Princess really values the Crown Prince too much. Her family has never lacked women of marriageable age for many years. As long as she can let a woman of the same clan who is easy to control enter the Eastern Palace and hold her son in her arms after giving birth, it may be a help.
Zhao Jian felt quite sympathetic towards his brother, the Crown Prince. Many people suspected that the Crown Prince's lack of offspring was due to the Crown Princess secretly poisoning him, or drugging the women in the Eastern Palace. Zhao Jian also felt the same way. The Crown Princess must be jealous, otherwise how could Ye Hao's wife be pregnant? The culprit was the Crown Prince's offspring.
Ye Hao was quick and ruthless, otherwise the Crown Prince's lineage would have been in danger, with the possibility of a comeback. But the Crown Prince couldn't have been without women outside the palace for so many years, and those women didn't give birth to a son for him. The Crown Prince must have had at least thirty or forty women, and if so many women didn't conceive, the Crown Prince's health was probably failing.
Zhao Jian believed that he was in good health and would have no problem with having children, so he wanted to get married quickly and have a few children after marriage. Then he would be considered a married man in his father's eyes, and it was time for him to establish his career and make some achievements in the court.
Unable to meet the crown prince, several princes were sent away by the emperor. They left the East Palace together, and no one spoke on the way.
The third prince was very keenly aware of a gaze.
"Seventh brother, why are you looking at me? Is there something wrong?"
"no no."
Zhao Jian hurriedly shook his head. He didn't know why, but he subconsciously suspected the third prince.
The Third Prince wondered what this fool was thinking. He wasn't doubting that he had harmed the Crown Prince. Sure enough, his injuries weren't serious, so he should stay in bed for another two months.
"Is Seventh Brother's injury healed? My leg injury has completely healed, but yours keeps coming back. He only goes to the Ministry of Works once or twice a month. Could it be that he wants to be lazy and stay at home?"
Zhao Jian was shocked when he was discovered by the third prince.
