Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss
Chapter 307: The Gloomy Regent vs. the Fake Gold Spy (4)
The imperial doctors arrived soon. They took Chi Tingwan's pulse one by one, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.
There is nothing wrong with this...
But the last doctor repeatedly felt the pulse, frowning. Song Shiyan saw the clue, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the princess's health?"
The imperial physician quickly bowed and saluted, "In reply to your Highness's question, the princess looks like...she has been poisoned. However, I am not an expert in this field, so...I cannot be sure."
Empress Dowager Li clenched her hands immediately. She glanced at Song Xuanchu coldly. Before this, Song Xuanchu had promised her solemnly that all the people in the Imperial Hospital who were under the jurisdiction of the Regent had been eliminated by him.
Song Xuanchu couldn't help but frown.
Where did this imperial physician come from? He had never seen him before.
Could it be that this was someone newly planted by Song Shiyan?
This palace has really become his world. He can place anyone he wants in the palace.
"I have never seen this imperial physician before. Is he new?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes were filled with warning. "The matter of poison is no trivial matter. Are you sure?"
The imperial physician was indeed a little withdrawn. He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to say another word.
Song Xuanchu's expression eased a little, it seemed that this person was not arranged by the emperor's uncle. That would be easy to deal with.
"It's okay. If you can't be sure, I will find a way." Song Shiyan pulled Chi Tingwan to stand up. "The matter of being poisoned is of great importance and cannot be ignored. I will take the princess back to the palace first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
"Wait a minute." Empress Dowager Li smiled and stopped them. "My Nanny Sun's ancestors came from Miaojiang. Why not let her try first?"
Chi Tingwan still had that frightened expression. Listening to what Empress Dowager Li said, she showed a bewildered look, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Madam Sun..."
Queen Mother Li knew that the poison had to be removed today no matter what. It must not be discovered by the talented people around Song Shiyan.
But she was unwilling to accept this. This was her bargaining chip to contain Chi Tingwan in the future. And it was gone just like that.
However, she believed that Nanny Sun would find a way.
"The princess has indeed been poisoned. This poison is not easy to cure, I'm afraid it will take some effort..."
"In that case, Wanwan might as well live in the palace." Queen Mother Li stepped forward with a look of pity and held Chi Tingwan's hand. "Poor child, who is so cruel to hurt you?"
"It may not be appropriate to stay in the palace." Song Shiyan said with a faint smile, "I have many talented people who can remove the poison. Madam Sun just needs to tell me the name of the poison."
"This... I really can't remember it clearly. I'm afraid it will take..."
Song Shiyan quickly interrupted her, "It seems that Nanny Sun can't be sure either."
Nanny Sun stiffened immediately. It seemed that the Regent King really had a deep affection for Chi Tingwan.
Queen Mother Li quickly winked at Song Xuanchu. If Chi Tingwan could be kept in the palace, then Nanny Sun could still figure out how to cure the old poison and create a new one that was not easy to detect. At worst, she could also take out the family heirloom chronic poison.
It is necessary to grasp Chi Tingwan. Otherwise, everything may be in vain.
This chess piece cannot be thrown away for the time being.
Even if she has to lose it, the initiative must be in her hands.
And what's worse -
Ruo Chi Tingwan became suspicious of her and the emperor because of this incident and suspected that the poison was caused by them.
Then this little bitch is very likely to stand on Song Shiyan's side.
That's very bad...
Unfortunately, Song Xuanchu's eyes were always on Chi Tingwan, and he never even glanced at Queen Mother Li.
"Wanwan, I know you must be very scared now. But the problem is not difficult to solve. Nanny Sun has watched you grow up, and you know how much she loves you. There are indeed many talented people around the Regent, but he has always been busy with government affairs. Even if he has free time, he still needs to advise the emperor. Why should he worry about this?"
"But he is my husband now. Isn't it his duty to worry about me?" Chi Tingwan smiled and glanced at Song Shiyan. "Does the prince think it's troublesome to take care of my affairs?"
"I really don't like what my sister-in-law says anymore." Song Shiyan's smile turned cold. "Wanwan is my first wife, married to the Prince Regent's Palace through three letters and six engagements. She is my first wife, how can I ignore her affairs?"
Hearing Song Shiyan calling her "sister-in-law", Empress Dowager Li felt uneasy. When she was the queen, Song Shiyan rarely called her that. Every time he called her that, it was basically a warning to her...
Warn her to behave herself.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Empress Dowager Li had always thought of Song Shiyan. She initially wanted to promote the late emperor's idea and make Song Shiyan the crown prince.
Given the late emperor's physical condition, he wouldn't live long.
By then, Song Shiyan could marry his widowed sister-in-law, and she would still be the queen.
But Song Shiyan never took her seriously. He even wanted to kill her once.
Over time, her concern faded.
She originally thought that Song Shiyan was just not interested in women. But when she found that he frequently paid attention to Chi Tingwan, she suddenly realized that she was wrong.
What made her even more angry was that her son also had a special liking for Chi Tingwan.
She married the late emperor when he was still the Prince of Xin at the age of fifteen, and became pregnant with Song Xuanchu six months after entering the palace. Since then, she has been conscientiously managing the backyard for him. But he always has that dead person in his heart.
Although Song Xuanchu was her biological son, he could never get close to her.
She didn't know how she had managed to survive these twenty years.
After all this time, she finally had something to rely on, but the other party still didn't take her seriously at all. After discovering her thoughts, he immediately avoided her like a snake or scorpion, and even had the intention of killing her.
Chi Tingwan's life has always been what she longed for.
Noble birth, outstanding talent.
Every time he goes out, he is surrounded by people.
She also easily won the love of the two best men in the world.
However, her life was not smooth sailing. At least she did not become the queen.
Not only that, the one who now sits firmly on the throne of queen is Xie Qianyu, the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, with whom she has always been at odds.
However, this is not enough.
Now Song Xuanchu still misses her in his heart. Song Shiyan also treats her as the apple of his eye and cherishes her.
This is far from enough.
Song Shiyan must hate her from the bottom of his heart, and Xuan Chu must no longer see her in his eyes.
Seeing Song Shiyan taking Chi Tingwan away like this, Song Xuanchu was quite angry.
"Did you see it all?" Empress Dowager Li suppressed her anger and cast her eyes on her son. "Song Shiyan is only four years older than you. He is still in power, and his power and prestige far exceed yours. Most importantly, he is devoted to Chi Tingwan."
When he heard the last sentence, Song Xuanchu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Exclusive love?"
"Isn't it?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "You have been taking concubines since you were fourteen years old. Now seven years have passed. Can you still count the women you have had?"
"Song Shiyan, on the other hand, although he is four years older than you, has never had a concubine or a maid. He is also obsessed with poetry, books and military tactics. When he was crowned king at the age of 18, he was so high-spirited... At that time, all the girls in Kyoto wanted to marry him as a princess. There were also many who wanted to be his concubine. But his mind was on the people."
"If it weren't for me, do you think you could have ascended the throne? Do you think he would give up his beloved woman to you after he ascended the throne? But now, it doesn't make much difference. All he lacks is the empty title of emperor. Whether the decree is issued or not, it doesn't really matter."
Song Xuanchu suddenly chuckled, "My mother just said that all the women in Kyoto want to marry my uncle. Does she also include my mother among these women?"
Empress Dowager Li's expression suddenly changed. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Why is mother so nervous? My son just asked casually. Or... is mother feeling guilty?"
"I am talking about your problem, you..."
"Do you really think I know nothing?" Song Xuanchu's eyes were cold. "Just as my mother said, my uncle was full of vigor and vitality. He was the most respected of all the sons of my grandfather, and was the first to be crowned king. There were countless people who admired my uncle."
"If I remember correctly, my mother seemed to be in her early thirties at the time. In the second year after my uncle was crowned king, my grandfather passed away and my father officially ascended the throne. The ceremony of his coming of age when he was twenty years old was held with great fanfare. If I remember correctly, my mother seemed to have attended the ceremony as well."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I go to his coming-of-age ceremony..."
"I saw it with my own eyes." Song Xuanchu smiled sarcastically. "At first, I was quite puzzled. After all, my mother had been ill and didn't want to sleep with me during that period. But later, she appeared quietly at the emperor's uncle's coming-of-age ceremony. My mother and my uncle clearly had no connection... until I heard my mother's heartfelt words to my uncle."
Empress Dowager Li's face turned pale in an instant, "You..."
"At the beginning, my mother should have also hoped that my uncle would be named the crown prince, right? After all, we in Nanyue have always had the tradition of uncles marrying widowed sisters-in-law. Even though my mother is now nearly 40 years old, she is still well-maintained and quite charming."
"You want to find an opportunity to be with the emperor's uncle legitimately. Letting the emperor's uncle take the throne is the best opportunity. After that, you can also coax the emperor's uncle to return the country to me. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The queen mother has a good plan, but it's a pity... the emperor's uncle doesn't like the queen mother."
Empress Dowager Li's face turned red with anger, "Shut up!"
"Are you angry?" Song Xuanchu sneered, "Do you know why I have ignored your actions against Wanwan? Because I know it is useless. You are so jealous of her, how could you possibly treat her well?"
"But what I didn't expect was... you actually put a curse on her without her permission."
Queen Mother Li understood immediately, "So you deliberately let Song Shiyan take her away just now?"
"Yes. Even if this incident hadn't happened today, I would have found a way to help her get rid of the poison."
Queen Mother Li was so angry that she laughed, "What happened after she was freed? Watching her throw herself into Song Shiyan's arms? You are quite magnanimous."
"She won't. She won't betray me." Song Xuanchu slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb, "She won't..."
"Okay, I'll wait for the day when you contradict yourself." Empress Dowager Li took Nanny Sun's hand and walked into the inner room.
Song Xuanchu left Ci'an Palace with a gloomy face. After returning to the imperial study, he learned that the regent had sent a new memorial.
These have all been reviewed by Song Shiyan.
Only memorials that have been reviewed by Song Shiyan can be read by him.
He is now a complete puppet.
He recalled the words of Empress Dowager Li again in his mind. He threw the newly opened memorial aside in annoyance and called his confidant, "Are you sure nothing happened to them last night?"
The other party was stunned for a moment. "Your Majesty, are you talking about the Regent and Miss Chi? The Regent stayed in the study until midnight last night. He also returned to his room later. Everyone in the Regent's Mansion knows that they did not consummate their marriage."
"Did the servants in the palace bully her?" When he was just an ordinary grandson of the emperor, he knew about the dirty things in the harem and the backyard.
Unfavored concubines or empresses would be abused by the servants.
Even though his mother was the queen before, she was still overshadowed by the favored imperial concubine.
"That's not the case. The servants in the palace are extremely respectful to Miss Chi."
"Yes. How could I forget? The Emperor's uncle really likes her. How could he allow his servants to mistreat her?" Today, he even went to the trouble of discouraging him and his mother in order to let her sleep well.
He also gave her the dragon-patterned jade pendant awarded to him by his father and asked her to hang it around her waist.
In fact, with the jade pendant, she didn't have to do any formalities.
The emperor's uncle was indeed extremely kind to her.
She is really pampered and held in the palm of her hand.
Will she be touched? Will she fall for the emperor's uncle's kindness to her?
Will she betray him?
Song Xuanchu looked down at the jade ring.
No, definitely not.
After returning to the Regent's Palace, Chi Tingwan discovered that all the talented people Song Shiyan mentioned had gathered at the door of his room.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This poison is not difficult to cure. It's just... Princess, you may have to endure the pain."
"How painful is it?" Chi Tingwan pretended to be very nervous.
She had an explanation for the change in attitude of Song Xuanchu and Queen Mother Li, but the original owner's natural fear of pain could not be changed.
"this......"
"Just untie it." Song Shiyan didn't think it was a big deal. As long as he could save his life, was it that important whether it hurt or not?
"Wait!" Chi Tingwan hurriedly stopped him, "You should tell me first, so that I can be mentally prepared."
"This...actually, it just requires cutting you. But it will be done very quickly!"
"Just make a cut!" Chi Tingwan stood up quickly, "Wouldn't that be very painful... Is this Gu fatal?"
"It depends on how the person who cast the poison wants to control it..."
Chi Tingwan pursed his lips and asked, "Is there a gentler, slower way to remove the poison?"
"It is recommended to remove the poison as soon as possible. Because the person who put the poison can control and activate the poisonous insects in the princess' body at any time..."
Song Shiyan followed suit and said, "Yes. By that time, there may be tens of thousands of poisonous insects in your body."
"What?" Chi Tingwan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
The rest of the people bowed their heads silently. Whatever the prince said was right.
Chi Tingwan gritted his teeth and said, "Untie it for me! Untie it now!"
