After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

This girl is really tenacious and will not give up until she achieves her goal.

Jinchu couldn't help laughing and teasing her: "If Second Aunt doesn't try this string of candied haws today, Xiao Yingzhen won't be happy."

Su Yingzhen nodded repeatedly and urged Jinchu, "Second Aunt, please try it. Don't you love candied haws made from hawthorn the most?"

"But Second Aunt doesn't want to eat Xiao Yingzhen's saliva!"

Jin Chu pointed at the hawthorn on the top that had a small corner missing but was covered in saliva, and teased with a smile: "This is all covered in your saliva, how can you expect Second Aunt to eat it?"

Having said that, Jin Chu had already decided to try the little girl's candied hawthorn.

Mother Wang, who was standing by, felt relieved when she saw Su Yingzhen eating the candied hawthorns herself. Even if she had some bad intentions, Anheyuan would not harm their only daughter, right?

Now that Sister Zhen is fine, I believe the candied hawthorns must be good too. Although the Crown Prince's wife doesn't say it, she is probably craving for it in her heart!

"Then Second Aunt can eat the ones at the back. Those at the back don't have Ying'er's saliva on them." The little girl tilted her head and suggested.

Jin Chu couldn't help but touch the little girl's chubby cheeks again, and said okay. He was about to pick up the string of candied hawthorns to taste it when he suddenly heard Yuying's voice coming from the yard.

"Princess, there's a letter from the Northwest!" As soon as she finished speaking, Yuying walked in with a letter.

"Brother's letter, bring it to me quickly."

Jin Chu's attention was attracted by the letter. He stretched out his hand to grab the candied hawthorn, but changed direction in the middle and reached towards Yuying.

Jin Chu took the letter and opened it, then read it quickly. After reading it, her face became serious and she lowered her head in thought.

The letter was indeed written by Ye Jinxuan. She and Su Cheng'an had previously speculated that as the northern army surrounded the capital, Crown Prince Shenyou would definitely issue an imperial edict to the northwestern and southern armies, urging them to return to the capital to provide assistance.

Fortunately, the northern border has already rejected the imperial edict to return to the capital. Now it depends on what choice General Chen Guang in the southern border will make.

"Second Aunt, Ying'er's stomach hurts."

Xiao Yingzhen, who was eating another string of ringo candied haws, suddenly dropped the candied haws in her hand, cried out "wow", and hugged her stomach and started crying.

Jin Chu was shocked and hurried to see Su Yingzhen, but saw that the little girl who was jumping around happily just now was now breathing rapidly and her lips were purple.

She was startled and looked at the string of candied haws in disbelief, her face turning pale in an instant.

"Go find the court doctor quickly!" Jin Chu shouted sternly.

Because of her anxiety, her voice was a little shrill.

Yu Xing, who was the quickest, picked up her skirt and ran out.

Mother Wang also reacted and pointed at the candied haws on the table and said tremblingly: "This, this, this is poisonous?"

Jin Chu didn't bother to respond and instructed Yu Cheng: "Hold her body quickly to make it easier for her to vomit."

Yucheng hurriedly hugged Su Yingzhen, turned her head down, and patted the little girl's back with her hands to make it easier for her to vomit.

A foul smell with a sour smell was vomited out, and Jin Chu felt nauseous and his stomach and intestines began to dry heave.

She forced herself to calm herself down, and then instructed Yuying beside her: "Quick, prepare a cup of honey water, and ask the kitchen to make a big bowl of mung bean porridge."

Yuying also ran out in response.

Mother Wang, who had reacted, came over with a cup of honey water.

Jin Chu pointed at Su Yingzhen, who had just vomited and was gasping for breath in Yucheng's arms, and said, "Quick! Give her the honey water to drink!"

Although the little girl had a stomachache, she cooperated well with the help of Mother Wang and Yucheng and drank most of the bowl of honey water.

Not long after she finished drinking, the little girl started vomiting again. Jin Chu's eyes lit up, and he quickly instructed Yu Cheng: "Let her vomit, the more the better."

Perhaps she had almost vomited out everything she ate last time, so Su Yingzhen vomited for a long time this time before she spit out a few mouthfuls of light yellow mucus.

Seeing the mucus, Jin Chu felt a little relieved, as it meant that the little girl had vomited out everything she had eaten.

If you can spit it out, the chances of saving your life are very high!

Sure enough, after this vomiting ended, although Su Yingzhen's face was still pale, her lips were no longer as dark purple as before, which meant that the poison had at least been almost eliminated.

There were footsteps outside the door. In addition to the court doctor, there were also Princess Du and the first lady Chen Yuehua who had arrived after hearing the news.

Perhaps because of fear, Chen Yuehua was supported by two maids and dragged towards this side.

When she saw Su Yingzhen curled up in Yucheng's arms in a miserable state, Chen Yuehua broke free from the two maids and stumbled towards Yucheng.

Looking at her daughter with half-closed eyes and motionless, Chen Yuehua's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

She kept calling out, "Ying'er, Ying'er, my dear Ying'er, what happened to you?" The next moment she was about to reach out to hug the child in Yucheng's arms.

The court doctor pushed her away and ordered Yu Cheng, "Hurry and carry the child to the bed!"

Chen Yuehua, who was pushed and staggered, caught a glimpse of Jin Chu not far away. All the resentment and fear in her body suddenly found a place to vent.

She strode towards Jinchu, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Yu Xing, who asked warily, "Madam, what are you going to do?"

"My daughter Ying'er was thinking about my aunt, so she brought some candied hawthorns that my second aunt loves to eat, and happily came from Anheyuan to your Shaoguangyuan. But in just half an hour, my good girl has become like this half-dead!"

Thinking of the girl's miserable situation, Chen Yuehua burst into tears. She glared at Jin Chu fiercely and accused him harshly, "Princess Consort, I've known for a long time that your Shaoguang Courtyard dislikes my Anhe Courtyard. If you have any hatred, just vent it on me and my master. Why do you want to harm my Ying'er?"

"You're talking nonsense! The Crown Princess loves the eldest girl so much, how could she harm her?"

Yu Xing angrily retorted, but Chen Yuehua turned a deaf ear and continued to accuse Jin Chu, "How old is Ying'er? She's just a young child, yet she's so fond of you, her second aunt, and you always act like you love her. It turns out it was all fake, just to poison my daughter today?"

"Sister-in-law, Ying'er has had a near-death experience. As a mother, you are afraid, distressed, and even resentful. I understand all these feelings."

Jin Chu pointed to the inner room and said, "But please calm down. Don't jump to conclusions without evidence! The court doctor is still treating the patient. The truth will become clear later."

Chen Yuehua followed Jinchu's gaze towards her daughter inside, and asked with a determined look, "Ying'er was poisoned in your Shaoguang Courtyard. This is the truth that everyone has seen. Can you deny this?"

Jin Chu met Chen Yuehua's gaze, and a chill suddenly ran down his body, and his voice became cold and stern.

"Ying'er was poisoned in my Shaoguang Courtyard, but who administered the poison? Who is the mastermind behind this? I will unravel the mystery and get to the bottom of it! This matter is of grave importance. Some people are trying to use this disaster to throw dirty water on my Shaoguang Courtyard. It's simply wishful thinking!"
