They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Prince Jing didn't say anything, seeming to be in deep thought.

Jiang Wanyue glanced at him, but unfortunately, she could not see anything.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Wanyue asked in a low voice.

"Don't you remember, sir?"

After a while, she heard Prince Jing's voice.

"I remember now. It was a emerald green gemstone produced in Persia. This year, three pieces were offered as tribute. My father gave one to Consort Shu, one to my second aunt, and the other one is in my hands."

After listening to this, Jiang Wanyue frowned.

"The prince's piece was given to Luo Qingqing. So, is the piece in Prince Qi's mansion Shufei's or the eldest princess's?"

The emperor's first wife died early, and now Shufei is the eldest in the emperor's harem, but she is not very favored by the emperor. The most favored one is Guifei, because Guifei is the emperor's cousin. Although the second prince she gave birth to is sick, her status is still the same.

Shufei gave birth to the sixth prince.

Could it be that the Sixth Prince and the King of Qi have joined forces?

If it was the Fourth Prince, Jiang Wanyue would not be so surprised.

The Sixth Prince...

Thinking of the Sixth Prince's previous friendly and flattering attitude towards Prince Jing, Jiang Wanyue felt even more unhappy.

However, it is also possible that he is not the Sixth Prince, but the Eldest Princess.

But if that's the case, it would be even more troublesome.

The eldest princess's husband is from the Cui family.

The Cui family was a noble family and had produced three prime ministers, so their status was extraordinary.

Today, there are many members of the Cui family and their disciples in the six ministries of Menxia, ​​Zhongshu and Shangshu.

However, the Cui family has never been involved in the struggle for succession, and has never shown any closeness to any prince in the past.

If the Cui family sides with the King of Qi, it will be troublesome.

Jiang Wanyue tried hard to recall the information about the Cui family from her previous life, trying to judge the Cui family's movements from it.

Just as she was trying to recall, she heard Prince Jing sigh.

"The mother-and-child emeralds were originally intended to be given to Wei...Princess Qi."

When Jiang Wanyue heard this, the hairs on her back stood up.

isn't it?

Prince Jing, what are you expressing your true feelings at this time?

Shouldn't this kind of secret be kept to yourself? How can you just tell it out?

I don't want to listen to it at all!

Jiang Wanyue wanted to grab Prince Jing by the collar and shake him.

I even wanted to run away.

Although she wanted to use today's events to make Prince Jing trust her more, it was not this level of trust.

This kind of secret could be kept secret if things go wrong. If Prince Jing gets upset or becomes suspicious one day, he might kill someone to silence them.

Jiang Wanyue was frantic inside, but she had to pretend to be confused and ignorant on her face.

The space inside the carriage was small, so she couldn't hide or escape. She could only bite the bullet and act stupid.

Fortunately, Prince Jing only said this and did not continue.

But from his tone, Jiang Wanyue could guess that he originally wanted to give the gem to Wei Fuxue, but Wei Fuxue confiscated it.

So, in a fit of anger, he just gave it to Luo Qingqing.

Luo Qingqing is so miserable.

Jiang Wanyue muttered to herself and turned her thoughts back.

It is too unrealistic to say that the Prince of Qi invited so many people and caused this incident just to frame the Prince of Jing's Mansion. There are too many loopholes and too many people involved.

With his cunning and sinister nature, if he really wanted to frame Prince Jing, he would definitely clear himself beforehand.

But looking at his anxious look just now... it is obvious that this incident happened suddenly and the King of Qi was not fully prepared.

If you think about it this way, then the poison hairpin and emerald were a sudden idea of ​​the King of Qi?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue raised her head and looked at Prince Jing.

"My Lord, is Princess Qi really poisoned?"

Prince Jing came back to his senses from his thoughts and frowned again.

"I don't know. The doctor came out a long time after he went in. He said she was poisoned, but he didn't say what the poison was or when she was poisoned. But now the poison has been removed, so I think she's fine."

Jiang Wanyue held her chin with one hand, and it was unclear whether she was talking to herself or to Prince Jing.

"In other words, the poison in Princess Qi was most likely something that happened before? It just happened to be discovered today? It seems that Prince Qi's mansion is not peaceful... But there is only Princess Qi in Prince Qi's backyard, and no other women. Who would harm her?"

A fierce light flashed in Prince Jing's eyes.

Jiang Wanyue stopped talking and didn't say anything else.

The carriage became quiet, with only the sound of the wheels turning.

Wheels and wheels.

Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a symphony of sounds rang out on the avenue.

After returning to the palace, Prince Jing personally sent Jiang Wanyue back to the Wutong Courtyard, instructed the servants to take good care of her, and asked someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite an imperial physician.

After the imperial physician examined her, he confirmed that Jiang Wanyue was not seriously injured and had just caught a slight cold, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiuchun took the prescription written by the imperial physician to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

After the court doctor was driven away last time, he was replaced by a middle-aged doctor, who was said to be the military doctor in Prince Jing’s former army and his surname was Zeng.

Seeing that the pharmacy was busy, Xiuchun offered to take the medicine back to the courtyard to boil it.

Doctor Zeng was eager to have less trouble, so he immediately asked someone to pack the medicine and took the pot for decocting the medicine and gave it to Xiuchun.

But who would have thought that as soon as Xiuchun walked out of the pharmacy, the wet nurse beside the princess came over.

The princess went out for a banquet today and has not returned yet, so all matters in the backyard have been left to the wet nurse.

When the wet nurse saw the medicine pot in Xiuchun's hand, her face frowned.

"According to the rules of the mansion, all medicines must be boiled in the pharmacy. Are you a little maid who wants to ignore the mansion rules just because you are favored by your master?"

Xiuchun explained while suppressing her anger.

"Our aunt is ill, and the pharmacy's personnel handover is a mess. I just thought it would be faster and more convenient to take the medicine home and boil it myself. I didn't mean to violate the rules of the mansion. Besides, there are so many people, who knows if there will be any problems when boiling the medicine? If something happens to our aunt, who can we turn to for justice?"

The nurse didn't listen to her explanation at all.

"You are sharp-tongued! Just like your master! Rules are rules, no matter who you are, you cannot break them. If you have something to do today and she has something to do tomorrow, and you have to make exceptions, then what's the point of making these rules? Send the things back to the pharmacy."

Xiuchun was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

"The princess is not in the mansion, do you, an old woman, really think you are the master? She is just using a medicine pot to boil medicine, not trying to harm anyone, what right do you have to stop her? You keep saying rules and regulations, even the prince is not like this, are you more noble than the prince? Do all the people in this mansion have to listen to you?"

The nanny narrowed her eyes.

"You dare to use the prince to pressure me? Great! You master and servant are really too careless. Do you really think that you can become the master of this palace just by getting the prince's favor a few times? Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the princess!"

The nurse yelled.

"Hold her down! Give her twenty slaps!"

She emphasized the word "reward" and waved her hand as big as a palm-leaf fan. The two maids behind her immediately rushed forward and clamped Xiuchun's arms.

Bang!

The medicine pot fell onto the bluestone slab and broke into pieces.

The medicine bag was also trampled to pieces by the old women.

Xiuchun was angry and resentful, but how could she, alone, be a match for two strong old women?

Just as the hand was about to hit her in the face, suddenly, an anxious voice came from a distance.

"stop!"
