Chapter 150: It Wasn't the Prince's Doing

idence first."Li Yinhu's appearance made Li Chen abandon his thoughts of teasing Zhao Qinglan. Besides, he had some things to attend to, so he was about to leave. As he turned around, a figure behind...Chapter 150: Not Done By The Crown Prince

The Tai Hospital’s physician, Zhong Nanjin, knelt before Li Chen, shamefacedly saying: “We are incompetent and haven't come up with any leads yet. Please punish us, Your Highness.”

"He deserves to be punished."

Li Chen let out a cold snort and said, “The Imperial Medical Bureau's treatment of the imprisoned Ninth Prince was negligent. As the head judge, you are guilty of dereliction of duty. You are hereby fined half your salary for six months. The imperial physician responsible for treating the Ninth Prince, come forward.”

He was still kneeling on the ground, the imperial physician who had just been interrogated by Li Chen's face ashen, kowtowed and said: "Please spare my life, Your Highness, please spare my life!"

"The Ninth Prince died suddenly, though it is not your fault. Had you been by his side at all times, perhaps this could have been avoided. Now that a grave mistake has occurred, words are futile. Drag him out and execute him immediately."

Li Chen commanded, and immediately guards with swords stepped forward to grab the physician's arms and escorted him out.

The imperial physician's terrified pleas were still echoing in his ears, gradually fading away. After that, Li Chen swept his gaze over the attending physicians and said coldly, "You know your responsibilities better than I do. The health of the concubines, princes, even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor depends on you. If it weren't for the special circumstances at hand, your father would still need you to take care of him. Just because the Ninth Prince died suddenly and the Imperial Hospital was helpless, this alone is enough to have all of you beheaded."

Zhong Nanjin and all the imperial physicians knelt and said, “Your Highness, please forgive us.”

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "As for the Ninth Prince's matter, how does the Empress Dowager intend to handle it"

Zhao Qinglan coldly snorted: "You even killed the imperial physician in charge of treating the Ninth Prince, and you dare ask this palace how to handle it You figure it out yourself!"

After that, Zhao Qinglan swept her sleeve and left.

She wasn't originally going to leave so easily, but when she saw Zhao Xuanji's gaze, despite her confusion, Zhao Qinglan still left.

When Zhao Qinglan left, Li Chen didn't care.

"The Ninth Prince died suddenly, this matter is suspicious. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are to investigate the case and bring the culprit to justice within a limited time."

After Li Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xuanji and said lightly, "This matter will be left to Zhao, the chief minister."

Zhao Xuanji clasped his hands and said, "That's as it should be."

"In that case."

Li Chen swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "First, seal the body of the Ninth Prince and have the Celestial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites choose a date for burial in the Imperial Tomb."

Speaking of this, Li Chen glanced at the stiff corpse of the Ninth Prince on the bed and calmly said: "Prince Li Wu, the ninth son of Emperor Daxing, was kind and sincere by nature. He should have had a bright future to serve his family and country. Unfortunately, he died young. However, heaven is gracious. Under the imperial decree for the regent to govern, this palace will act on His Majesty's behalf. Prince Li Wu is posthumously appointed as King of Ren County with the posthumous title of Rénhé. All funeral arrangements will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of宗人 in accordance with the specifications for a prince."

No matter what the Ninth Prince does, he is still the Emperor Taixing's flesh and blood, a real prince of the Qin Empire.

Now that someone has passed away, their life is extinguished like a lamp. But Li Chen will not be stingy in giving him the due respect he deserves.

To bestow greater honor upon the dead is to provide a spectacle for the living.

As expected, the entire room was filled with people kneeling. Everyone unanimously exclaimed, "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, your subjects obey your orders."

"That's all."

Li Chen waved his hand, his expression somewhat listless. "My ninth brother has just passed away, and I have no other thoughts at the moment. All matters related to his funeral will be handled according to the rules. There is nothing else to discuss... This matter will be investigated by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice afterwards. No one else in the palace should gossip about it behind my back. Anyone found doing so will have their tongue removed."

After Li Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xuanji. Seeing that the latter still didn't intend to speak, he turned and left the side hall.

"Chen Tong."

Li Chen, heading towards the Eastern Palace, said calmly.

Behind him, Chen Tong came closer.

This matter was not done by Zhao Xuanji. Go and find out who the real culprit is.

At the same time, Zhao Xuanji also left the side hall and came to the neighboring Fengxi Palace.

"This matter was not done by the Crown Prince." again. By now, a trail of blood, like broken beads, hung from the corner of his mouth.His heart was pierced in an instant, arterial blood spreading throughout his chest cavity and gushing out of his...
