The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

The woman had a delicate and elegant face and a petite and slender figure. Although her complexion was pale, it could not conceal her temperament that was not found in ordinary women from prominent families. She possessed the calmness and indifference of a person in a superior position.

Prince Chen met her calm and cold gaze, which seemed to be able to see through people, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Su Jingning leaned forward slightly and saluted.

"No need to be so polite, Princess. I came here today to see Prince Yan'an, but your family tried to stop me from doing so. I wonder why?"

When Old Liu saw Su Jingning coming out, he hurriedly walked to her side with a worried look on his face.

"Why did the Crown Prince's wife come out? This old slave deserves death. The prince and the Crown Prince repeatedly warned me that your cold has not yet healed, and no matter what happens, I must not disturb you."

Su Jingning coughed lightly, and her bright little face turned pale, looking very scary.

"nothing."

She turned her eyes to look at Prince Chen, with an apologetic look on her face: "Your Highness, you really came at a bad time today. My father and husband are not at home, and I am the only one here. I have had an old illness for the past two days and have been feeling drowsy all the time. I didn't know it was Your Highness who came, and I was unable to greet him from afar. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"I heard from Uncle Liu that the prince came here because of the assassination of the queen mother. I am very ill today. My husband did stay with me in the mansion during the day, but near dusk, the imperial guards outside the city suddenly reported that they had found the murderer's traces in the suburbs of Beijing, so he left in a hurry. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the city gate to check the records of leaving the city. But now the city gate is closed, so if the prince wants to see my husband, he will have to wait until tomorrow."

Su Jingning's voice was light, as if she was very ill. After she finished speaking a long string of words, her face turned even paler. The maid behind her saw this and stepped forward to support her.

Prince Chen saw that she was so sick and weak, much weaker than the last time he saw her in the hunting ground. This prince's wife of the Beiyang Palace, the legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, had been protected too well since childhood. He didn't know much about her, but he had heard that this girl had a congenital disease and would fall seriously ill every once in a while.

But he couldn't guarantee whether she was really sick today or was covering up for someone.

"Oh? Is the prince really going to look for the murderer? Does the princess know the consequences of deceiving the prince?"

When Su Jingning saw the suspicion on his face, the warm smile on his face suddenly turned cold.

"Your Highness, do you think that we, the whole palace, have teamed up to deceive you today? But you just want to see my husband, why would we deceive you?"

"The prince brought so many people with him today and was so aggressive in front of my house. Should I suspect that the prince wanted to embarrass a weak woman like me because he knew that I was the only one in the house, or that he wanted to take the opportunity to find out something from the prince's house?"

When Prince Chen saw her sudden change of expression, he immediately felt something was wrong and shouted angrily, "How dare you! What is there in the palace that is worthy of my personal investigation? But you are making excuses like this, as if you are hiding something?"

Su Jingning seemed to be frightened by his harsh voice. She took two steps back with a panicked look on her face. Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice trembled a little. She looked at him with a low but somewhat sneering look in her eyes: "Your Highness, please don't forget that this is the Beiyang Palace. There are so many people watching."

Seeing the carriage galloping towards him from a distance, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood and his thin body was about to collapse.

Yun Qing, who was behind him, quickly supported him.

"Miss!"

Because their figures were blocked and there was some distance between them, the people around could only see Prince Chen shouting at people and Su Jingning suddenly coughing up blood and looking pale.

Thinking back to the time when the Crown Prince's wife of Beiyang Palace came out, she looked extremely ill but still managed to hold on to explain to Prince Chen. It didn't seem like she was lying. Besides, if the Crown Prince of Beiyang Palace was really in the palace, there would be no reason for him to refuse to see Prince Chen. The people of Beiyang Palace had already come out to explain everything, but Prince Chen was still a little bit unwilling to give in.

People only believe what they see with their own eyes, and will involuntarily favor the weak. Now, in order to maintain etiquette, the Crown Prince's Consort of Beiyang Palace forced herself to explain to the Prince of Chen in person despite her illness, and even coughed up blood. The people who had just favored the Prince of Chen now had a bit of blame in their eyes.

"The Beiyang Prince's wife has been forced into this state, and His Royal Highness Prince Chen still doesn't believe that the Beiyang Prince is not in the mansion. If this is the case, it really seems like he is here to cause trouble."

"Oh, if Prince Beiyang is not at home, who knows what will happen if he is here. Have you forgotten what happened to the people who caused trouble in front of Prince Beiyang's mansion last time? The Nether Envoy has become the former."

Everyone looked at Prince Chen and talked about it, and Prince Chen's expression suddenly became even uglier.

"Ning girl!!"

A worried shout came from behind, and King Beiyang, who was dressed in a dark black robe, hurriedly got off the carriage. He saw that among the crowd, the girl Ning, who was fine when he left, had a pale face and blood oozing from the corners of her mouth. She was facing the people behind her and was supported by them. He was so frightened that his soul was about to leave his body. If something happened to this girl, it would be a huge disaster.

"Hurry up and take my note, and go to the palace to invite the imperial physician! Help the Crown Prince's wife return home!"

King Beiyang looked at the people who were still alive in the morning, and suddenly turned pale and shaky. He became anxious and shouted at the people around him. Turning around, he saw the Taoist with a pale face winking at him while no one was paying attention.

He was stunned for a moment, and asked someone to bring her into the mansion. Then he turned around and looked at Prince Chen with a cold face. He had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he had a violent and bloodthirsty aura on his body. He was intimidating without even getting angry. Now he did not hide his anger at all. He looked at Prince Chen with a pair of cold eyes. Before he could say anything, Prince Chen had cold sweat on his forehead.

"If I come back late today, will Your Highness Prince Chen force his way into my Beiyang Palace and see for yourself whether my son is there?"

"Your Highness Prince Chen, please leave the clues in your hand and I will pass them on to His Majesty for you. How about that?" Prince Beiyang asked Prince Chen with his eyes lowered, but there was no intention of negotiation in his tone.

"No need for that. Today's matter was caused by my negligence. It is wrong to disturb the Crown Prince's Consort. Please don't blame me, Old Prince."

"go!"

Prince Chen had an apologetic smile on his face, bowed slightly to Prince Beiyang, and turned to leave.

"Your Highness Prince Chen!" Prince Beiyang put his hands in his sleeves, shook them slightly, and suddenly raised his voice.

"Leave the clues here, and I will present them to His Majesty for you."

Prince Chen paused, closed his eyes, and showed forbearance. He turned around and handed the half jade pendant in his hand to Prince Beiyang.

"This was left by the assassin that day. It was given to me by the nanny beside the Royal Grandmother. Please pass it on to Prince Gu."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. He heard Beiyang Dynasty behind him warn him coldly:

"Eunuch Bi has been transferred to the Inner Court Department. Your Highness, please be prepared to answer questions from the palace before you return home. Your Highness, please remember that not just anyone can cause trouble in my Beiyang Palace."

King Beiyang said that the king led his men into the palace and ignored the people who were standing there in a daze.

In Huai Garden, King Beiyang looked at Su Jingning, who was wearing makeup and had a pale face, sitting in the main hall, and hesitated to speak. Finally, he spoke and waved his hand to ask the people around him to leave. Only he and Su Jingning were left in the room.

"Ning girl, do you know what kind of poison Yan An was poisoned with?"

"I know, it's the blood-killing Sala. It can control people's minds and destroy their sanity." Su Jingning replied softly.

King Beiyang understood. If that was the case, then she should also be clear about Yan Andao's identity.

"Has he ever mentioned Yan'an's identity to you?" King Beiyang sighed and asked.

Su Jingning paused and nodded.

Seeing her nod, her face calm, and no strange color in her eyes, King Beiyang breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at her with a gentler expression, but still continued to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Since you know that Yan'an is infected with the blood parasite and will be controlled by it in the future, he may not even recognize you or me, and may even hurt you, why are you still willing to marry him?"

"As for his identity, you should have heard about the rumors back then. Do you really not care? Are you not afraid that it will bring you trouble?"

Su Jingning lowered his eyes, as if thinking seriously about his question. After a long time, he raised his eyes. His clear almond-shaped eyes were pure and innocent without any impurities:

"I won't let him be controlled by the blood parasite. If that day really comes, I will find a way to make him remember me. As for his identity and rumors, I only care about A Yan. As long as it's him, it's fine."

The girl's voice was cool and frank, with a bit of unique pride and composure that made people believe it.

King Beiyang's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Although this girl was weak and sickly, she seemed different from what he thought. She was not as simple as they understood. He did not mention this matter again.

"You sent someone to say that there was something wrong with Eunuch Bi. How did you find out?"

Su Jingning replied in a clear and gentle voice, "Someone suddenly came to the palace and summoned you to the palace today. It was strange in itself, and the Prince of Chen suddenly came to see Ah Yan. I knew what he wanted to do."

"Prince Chen guessed Ah Yan's identity, and also knew that the blood parasite might break out today, so he wanted to verify his guess."

Prince Beiyang's face turned cold. Prince Chen knew Yan'an's identity, and this matter was really troublesome.

"Even if he knows, so what? If he still wants to save his life, he won't dare to say a word."

As soon as Prince Chen walked out of the alley in front of Beiyang Palace, he immediately noticed someone staring at him in the dark. The person's aura was extremely strong, as if he wanted to be noticed on purpose. The cold gaze followed him all the way to the palace before it disappeared.

Beiyang Palace is threatening him! ! Prince Chen was shaking with anger, but he had to suppress his anger when he saw the palace guards standing in front of the palace.
