Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 107 The Prince is Poisoned
The next day, Shen Xiyue accompanied her mother back to her uncle's house.
My uncle and eldest cousin had not returned from the palace after attending court. When my aunt saw them coming back, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. The whole Song family was filled with enthusiasm and warmth, the kind of kindness that came without any interests but only warmth.
"Yingzhao girl!"
"Sister-in-law!"
As soon as the aunt and sister-in-law met, they supported each other and seemed to have endless things to say.
Coincidentally, my second cousin Song Lian and his second cousin-in-law Liu also returned to the capital yesterday evening.
Shen Xiyue greeted everyone in the room and then excitedly went to seek advice from her second cousin.
"Sister, do you want to open a perfume shop?"
When talking about business, second cousin Song Lian's eyes sparkled: "There are several spice shops in the capital. If you want to do business well, first of all, your spices must be more distinctive than those in other shops. For example, you must have more spices than other shops, or your spices must be better than those in other shops."
Shen Xiyue widened her eyes, listened carefully, and looked at him expectantly: "What my cousin said is right."
My cousin's wife Liu laughed at the side: "Look, my husband is going to be a businessman."
"I like what my second cousin said." Shen Xiyue smiled softly, noticing that Liu Shi was not at all alienated, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, please ask my cousin's wife to come and help Xiyue take a look."
Song Lian arranged everything in just a few words: "There are incense merchants in Nanhai, incense markets in Yunnan, and incense islands in Zhuya. My cousin has many smart merchants who are good at purchasing. Just make a list of what you need and ask them to buy spices for you."
Liu smiled again: "It just so happens that my cousin's wife has a few incense recipes that she occasionally collected. I'll give them to my sister later..."
The family was talking happily when the housekeeper of the Song Mansion suddenly came running over with an extremely ugly expression. He looked at Wang, the owner of the back house, and said, "Madam, something happened in the palace..."
Aunt Wang frowned: "What's going on?"
"Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned in the palace and is unconscious. The Emperor has ordered the palace gates to be closed. The master and the eldest son are trapped in the palace." The butler sounded a little flustered.
Shen Xiyue's heart tightened. Murong Xuan was poisoned? She stood up anxiously, suppressed her anxiety, calmed herself down, and sat back down: "What's going on?"
"It's what happened just now. I don't know the details... The Prime Minister only sent someone back to inform you, telling Madam not to worry." The housekeeper looked worried.
"Is that so?" Wang remained calm after listening to the conversation and ordered the housekeeper, "Go down and tell the people below not to talk nonsense..."
After something like this happened, no one could tell whether their family would be implicated. Shen Xiyue immediately lost interest in the fun. She was not only worried about her father, uncle and cousin, but also Murong Xuan... How could he be poisoned? !
Shen Xiyue couldn't figure it out, but she was very worried and wanted to rush into the palace immediately to see what was going on.
But now she can only wait...
"Sister-in-law, Yue'er and I will go back to the mansion and wait." Madam Shen took Shen Xiyue's hand and brought the dazed Shen Xiyue back to her senses: "Xiyue, let's go back to the mansion and wait for your father."
......
In the palace.
The sword-wielding guards had already surrounded the entire hall. The depressing atmosphere made people feel suffocated. All the civil and military officials in the court were trapped, and the expressions on their faces were varied, and they could hardly hide their thoughts.
The prince, who was already so weak that he would collapse at the slightest gust of wind, was poisoned to make matters worse...
The court officials were surprised at who was so bold as to poison the prince, and at the same time they were sighing, wondering if he could survive this time. If not, should the position of the prince be replaced?
Many people's eyes were even clearly fixed on King Yao who was standing at the front.
King Yao had his back to the officials, his expression looking very strange.
He traveled day and night and only arrived back in the capital early this morning. Without even taking a nap, he rushed to the court just to report to his father, the emperor, that he had pacified the salt famine in Jingchu.
But unexpectedly, she met the prince in the palace.
At that time, the prince asked a few questions about the salt shortage in a polite manner while coughing and smiling gently. He also replied casually.
But unexpectedly, the prince suddenly fainted on the ground with his hands on his chest due to emotional excitement... It was really bad luck, a sickly person should recuperate in his own home and not interfere in the affairs of state.
After all, he was the prince. As soon as he fell down, he was immediately helped to the back hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony by a group of eunuchs. Emperor You'an urgently summoned the imperial physician, but he didn't expect that the prince not only didn't get better after drinking the medicine, but began to vomit blood in large mouthfuls. Then, he became like now... The imperial physician said that the prince was poisoned.
Prince Yao felt quite gloating in his heart and really hoped that he would just die like this. If Murong Xuan died, he would be the most legitimate person to be appointed as the crown prince!
The fourth prince, Prince Duan, who was standing beside Prince Yao, tilted his head slightly, glanced at Prince Yao, whose face was filled with smugness that he couldn't hide at all, then lowered his head again and curled the corners of his lips in a mocking manner, wondering why he hadn't realized before that this eldest royal brother was such a fool... But even though he was such a fool, his mother still had a heart set on him.
Thinking of this, Prince Duan's heart became even colder.
The second prince, Prince Rui, kept his head down the whole time. He seemed to be extremely frightened and even began to tremble.
In the back hall, a group of imperial doctors were kneeling in the room, sweating profusely.
Eunuch Shi beside Emperor You'an also stood aside with a stiff expression, not daring to speak.
Emperor You'an asked in a deep voice: "What kind of poison has the prince been poisoned by?"
Doctor Chen, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his face with trepidation. He replied under great pressure, "Your Majesty, yes, it is a kind of Miao Gu, called Liangxinmian. After being poisoned, one will vomit blood and then fall into a coma..."
Emperor You'an's expression became more serious: "What is the antidote for this poison?"
Doctor Chen trembled like a sieve: "In reply to the emperor's words, I am a humble minister with little knowledge and experience, and I really don't know..."
He just happened to have seen the poisonous Gu like Liang Xin Mian in an ancient book two days ago. It only said that being poisoned was like falling asleep, falling into a beautiful dream, and finally dying in the dream. As for how to cure it? The ancient book didn't mention it, and he didn't know!
Emperor You'an raised his hand and smashed the tea bowl beside him: "I support you bunch of imperial doctors, are you just eating for free?"
Doctor Chen kowtowed repeatedly, and after a moment's thought, he threw away this worrying task: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a Doctor Mu in the Prince's mansion who has superb medical skills. Perhaps he has a way..."
Emperor You'an snorted coldly, and his expression relaxed a little: "Send someone to call him over... You! All of you! Go to the courtyard and kneel down, and pray for the prince!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
After a group of imperial doctors responded in unison, they hurriedly retreated out of the hall and knelt down to pray for the prince. After all, it was better than being buried with the prince.
Emperor You'an's face was gloomy, and he turned to ask Eunuch Shi: "Have you found out?"
Eunuch Shi quickly raised his shrunken head and replied, "It was the eunuch who brought the medicine and put the poison into the prince's medicine when no one was paying attention."
Emperor You'an asked coldly, "Which palace are you from?"
Eunuch Shi knelt down with a plop and whispered, "It's from Concubine Qi's palace..."
Emperor You'an's expression became a little unpredictable after hearing Concubine Qi's words: "Continue to investigate."
He and Concubine Qi have been in love for decades. Although Concubine Qi has aged and lost her looks in recent years, in his heart, although the concubine was a little spoiled, she was also very sensible and never dared to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. As for whether she was the one who did it... he wanted to see the most direct evidence.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Shi didn't dare to say anything. Whether it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Concubine Qi, they were both the apple of the Emperor's eye, so he didn't dare say a word.
After Eunuch Shi also left, Emperor You'an looked down at the unconscious Murong Xuan and squinted his eyes. He wanted to see who dared to attack the prince under his nose...
