After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Chapter 48 I cherish my life very much

Qing He carried the jade box containing the Seven Star Grass and walked quickly to the imperial physician: "Excuse me."

The old doctor took the jade box, opened it, and was greeted by a refreshing fragrance that filled his nose.

"It is indeed Seven Star Grass!" the old doctor exclaimed. After carefully identifying it and confirming that it was the real thing, he carefully took out a plant and crushed it with a silver needle.

"This herb can indeed cure the young master's poisoning." The old doctor said as he fed the crushed herb into the child's mouth bit by bit.

After the child took the herbs, his face gradually regained color and his breathing became much more stable.

After about a quarter of an hour, the child slowly opened his eyes.

"My son!" An Zixin cried with joy upon seeing this. She hugged the child in her arms, patted his back gently, and coaxed him softly.

Ouyang Jing's tense nerves finally relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked up at Xie Mishuang and met her clear eyes.

Their eyes met, and Xie Mishuang was the first to break the silence, her tone calm: "Your Highness, do you believe that I harmed the child?"

Ouyang Jing was silent, he didn't know how to answer.

Xie Mishuang's heart grew colder and colder, and he turned and left.

In Anxiang Pavilion, only Ouyang Jing, An Zixin and the child were left.

An Zixin looked at Ouyang Jing, her eyes moving with a hint of grievance and weakness.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault. I've offended the Crown Princess. I hope Your Highness can arrange for my son and I to get out." An Zixin said, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Ouyang Jing looked at her tearful face, but he didn't feel any sympathy in his heart, instead he felt annoyed.

"You can continue to live here for the time being. I will order people to be more careful with the meals you and your children used to eat." Ouyang Jing said in a cold tone, and then turned and left Anxiang Pavilion.

An Zixin looked at Ouyang Jing's back as he left, a smug smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

As long as she has this child, Ouyang Jing will definitely treat her differently than other women, so what if she is the Crown Princess?

The important thing is to win a man's heart.

Ouyang Jing walked out of Anxiang Pavilion with a gloomy face.

"Li Zhong!"

When Li Zhong heard the prince's voice, he trotted over and bowed, "Your Highness."

"Lock up the cook and the maid who is responsible for buying food in the woodshed, starve them for three days and three nights, and make them tell the truth." Ouyang Jing's tone was cold and ruthless.

Li Zhong's heart trembled, and he quickly accepted the order: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Ouyang Jing turned around and went back to the room.

In the room, Ah Xi, A Ya and Qing He were surrounding Xie Mi Shuang, speaking ill of An Zi Xin indignantly.

"Your Majesty, didn't you see how proud An was? She almost wanted to replace you!" Ah Xi said angrily, her little face flushed red.

"That's right. Relying on her looks, she dares to show off in front of you. She really doesn't know her place!" Aya also echoed, her tone full of disdain.

Although Qinghe didn't say anything, she clenched her fists tightly, obviously very angry.

"You guys, just keep your mouth shut." Xie Mishuang shook her head helplessly. These three girls were really loyal to their master, but sometimes they were too impulsive.

"But your majesty, she has bullied you, how can you..." Ah Xi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a voice coming from the door.

"What are you talking about?" Ouyang Jing's voice showed no emotion, but the three of them were still startled.

The three of them knelt down immediately, not daring to raise their heads. "This slave deserves death. This slave shouldn't be talking about other people's faults behind their backs."

Xie Mishuang felt warm at the sight. Although these three girls were sometimes rash, their loyalty to her was genuine.

"Your Highness, it's my fault. I didn't discipline them well, allowing them to speak without restraint. I was just speaking up for me. If Your Highness wants to punish someone, then punish me." Xie Mishuang stood up, walked in front of Ouyang Jing, and said calmly.

The three were so moved when they heard this that they wanted to go through fire and water for Xie Mishuang immediately.

Ouyang Jing looked at Xie Mishuang, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but his tone remained calm: "My beloved, are you blaming me?"

Xie Mishuang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I dare not."

"Are you angry, my beloved?" Ouyang Jing pressed on, with a barely perceptible tentativeness in his tone.

Seeing this, Qinghe hurriedly pulled A Xi and A Ya's sleeves, signaling them to leave quickly.

Although Ah Xi and A Ya were somewhat unwilling, they knew that now was not the time to argue, so they kowtowed and left the room.

"I am not angry. How could I dare to be?" Xie Mishuang said lightly, without any emotion in her tone.

Ouyang Jing looked at her calm expression and felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

"That child..." Ouyang Jing was about to explain but was interrupted by Xie Mishuang.

"I didn't harm that child." Xie Mishuang said firmly, looking directly at Ouyang Jing, "If I really wanted to harm him, I wouldn't be so stupid as to use such a despicable method."

Ouyang Jing was choked by her words, then sneered: "What means will my beloved concubine use?"

Xie Mishuang was stunned, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart: "So, Your Highness still thinks that I would harm a child?"

Ouyang Jing was silent, he didn't know how to answer.

"Your Highness, are you not going to explain the relationship between that child and you?" Xie Mishuang took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "As the Crown Princess, I have the right to know. If that child is really yours, I would not be so foolish as to do something so wicked as to frame the heir of the royal family and execute the entire clan."

"When did I ever say that was my child?" Ouyang Jing frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Xie Mishuang smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-mockery in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Your Highness, there is no need to lie to me. I can accept it."

"After all, you will have three thousand beauties and countless beautiful women in the future." Xie Mishuang spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"That child should be your first child, Your Highness. You should treasure him or her." Xie Mishuang raised her eyes, looked directly into Ouyang Jing's, and said word by word, "Your Highness, you can rest assured. I cherish my life very much and will not risk my own life to harm your child."

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Ouyang Jing and turned to walk towards Mr. Li's yard.

Just as he was about to chase after him to explain, Li Zhong hurried over with a look of panic on his face: "Your Highness, this is bad!"

"Why are you so panicked?" Ouyang Jing asked unhappily.

"Then, that maid and the cook, they, they both hit their heads and died!" Li Zhong took a deep breath and finally finished his words.

Ouyang Jing's pupils shrank slightly. In this way, the clues of the person who murdered the child were cut off, and Xie Mishuang's suspicion would never be cleared.

Ouyang Jing spat out two words coldly: "Investigate!"
