Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Du Wu's expression was not looking good either. "Your Highness, the Zou family will definitely give an explanation for this matter!"

"Okay then, I'll wait here!"

As he spoke, the eighth prince released the hand that was pinching the maid, picked up the robe on the ground and walked behind the screen.

Du Wu turned around and ordered: "Go and invite the court physician, and also invite the eldest young master! Go quickly!" Since the matter involved the prince, she could handle it, but she had to inform her husband.

At the same time, she looked at the maid with sharp eyes. For the Spring Banquet, all the servants were smart and well-behaved selected from the mansion.

She has not yet taken full charge of the household, and is not sure whether this maid is from the mansion.

But with just a glance from her, the maids immediately took the man under control.

She turned to the group over there and said, "Excuse me for making fun of you all! Please feel free to enjoy the scenery and drink some tea. There's an opera troupe in the east garden. They're having a new excerpt today."

I just want to get everyone away.

These ladies responded with a smile. Some left, while others agreed. Although they left the door, they still wandered around and didn't go far, waiting to watch the fun!

After a moment, the eighth prince was dressed neatly and walked out from behind the screen.

Chu Qianan said gently, "Eighth brother, Madam Zou will definitely give you a reasonable explanation. Do you need me to stay here with you?"

The Eighth Prince chuckled softly, "Second Brother, if you want to laugh at me, just say so!"

Chu Qianan shook his head and sighed, "Eighth brother, you misunderstood. In that case, I'll leave first." He comforted him gently, "Eighth brother, don't take this to heart. You are innocent too!"

The Eighth Prince responded sullenly.

Innocent? So what? Who cares if someone is innocent or not? Embarrassing is embarrassing.

Chu Qianan left.

Xiang Qing looked at Yan Xining and Chu Jinxun who were almost out of sight, then looked at the maid, and suddenly thought of something.

She pulled Du Wu aside and whispered something in her ear.

Du Wu's face darkened slightly: "Really?"

Xiang Qing nodded vigorously: "It's true!"

Du Wu felt that the matter was serious.

Shen Qingyuan is missing too?

She forced herself to remain calm and ordered someone to search quietly. She then issued a series of orders: "Madame Chen, go and ask the second young lady of the Weiyuan Marquisate to come over!"

"Bichun, go..."

The maids and servants around her all obeyed orders and went to do their work. At this time, the eldest son of the Zou family, Zou Yuhao, hurried over with the court doctor.

The maid who reported the news on the way reported what had happened, and Zou Yuhao immediately asked the court doctor to check the tea in the teapot on the table.

The court doctor smelled it, looked at it, poured out a cup and observed it carefully. Finally, he said, "There is nothing wrong with this tea!" As he said that, he drank a cup as if to prove something.

It's so rare to drink such good tea, so I have to take this opportunity to taste it today. What a pity, there is still half a pot left, what a waste!

Hearing that the tea was fine, Zou Yuhao turned his gaze to the maid. Because her previous appearance was unsightly, a maid had already put a dress on her.

He said coldly, "Push her down and pry open her mouth."

The maid's face had already turned pale. She had tried to hit her head against the pillar several times, but the maidservants of the Zou family were well-trained and saw through her plan at a glance, so she never got a chance.

Since there is nothing wrong with the tea, then where could it be?

Zou Yuhao said, "House doctor, take another look at the clothes that fell on the ground, the bed, and the incense burner. Is there anything wrong with them?"

The court doctor responded and immediately went to check each item carefully.

Over there, as soon as Chu Jinxun and Yan Xining left everyone's sight, Yan Xining pulled Chu Jinxun behind the shadow of a tree, walked around from there, passed a secluded path, bypassed a small garden and a small bush, and walked further forward, where there were a few more houses.

The place they arrived at was the back window of the house.

Chu Jinxun took a look and immediately figured out the direction.

This is the side room at the edge of the women's locker room.

Yan Xining opened the window and climbed in.

Chu Jinxun looked at her nimble figure and stood there without moving.

Yan Xining leaned out of the house and stretched out her hand to him: "Can you come in? I'll pull you in!"

"Why are we here?"

"Keep your voice down, you'll know when you come in!"

Chu Jinxun caught her hands with both hands, and Yan Xining cleverly used her strength to drag him in. Then, the window moved and closed tightly again.

This is a storage room, but the things inside are not messy. There are even two sets of new clothes for women.

But in the corner, there was a person lying.

A young girl dressed in a brocade palace dress with the color of sky, water, blue, and colorful clouds was lying on the ground with her back to this side, motionless, as if she had fainted.

Chu Jinxun didn't come closer. He looked at her and asked, "Did you do this?"

Yan Xining nodded.

"why?"

"To save people, of course!"

As she spoke, she walked over and turned the girl over. Chu Jinxun's eyes moved.

The girl's face was flushed, her eyes were wide open with tears in them, her breathing was much more rapid than that of an ordinary person, her delicate features were slightly distorted due to discomfort, her originally fair skin was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her hair was messily stuck to her cheeks.

It looked as if it couldn't move, as if it was fixed in place by invisible ropes.

Chu Jinxun covered his lips and coughed softly: "What happened to her?"

"He was drugged! And then he was led to the locker room... Do you understand?"

"You saved her and changed her?"

Yan Xining hummed softly, curling her lips and smiling, "What a coincidence! I just changed my clothes inside. I heard some noise outside, and before I could even get out from behind the screen, the maid dragged me in regardless of my struggles. You can't just ignore this kind of dirty stuff when you see it."

As she spoke, she took out a silver needle.

The girl and Yan Xining looked into each other's eyes. Yan Xining looked into her eyes and said, "Although I gave you the antidote, it doesn't seem to be completely effective. You know what your physical condition is like now, right?"

Tears flowed from the girl's eyes. She couldn't move and could only blink hard.

"I'm going to give you a few injections. I need to untie your acupuncture points. It might be a little painful, but you can't scream or move. Can you bear it?"

The girl blinked again.

Yan Xining unblocked her acupuncture points.

The girl shuddered, collapsing to the ground. She felt the blood rushing through her body, her breathing becoming rapid and erratic. Her hands clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, her fingers turning white from the strain. The once soft brocade was crumpled into a ball in her hands.

She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to restrain herself from making any sound, but the strong effect of the drug made her body feel as if it was burned by fire and it was extremely painful.

Yan Xining took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and inserted the silver needle in her hand into the acupuncture points on her body.

With each injection, the girl's body would tremble involuntarily.

The pain was like a sharp needle piercing her bone marrow, but she remembered Yan Xining's instructions and bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.

Her body was tense, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Yan Xining was concentrating on giving acupuncture, and the whole room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Finally, Yan Xining pulled out the last silver needle, and the girl's body gradually relaxed.

She lay weakly on the ground, gasping for breath.

But his eyes were looking at Yan Xining, his eyes were full of fatigue and gratitude, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

She said in a hoarse voice: "My name is Shen Qingyuan! Thank you, thank you!"
