Emperor Sheng An nodded hurriedly, "Prince Zhongyong is indeed very thoughtful. Imperial Physician Liu, please come forward and take the imperial concubine's pulse!"
Concubine Zhan sobbed in grievance at the right moment: "Your Majesty, I was scared to death. It's all thanks to Prince Zhongyong. Otherwise, you would not only lose our child, but also me!"
Emperor Sheng An soothed him gently, "No, my dragon energy is protecting you and your child. No matter what happens to you, you will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune!"
Concubine Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at King Zhongyong who was standing next to her.
Emperor Sheng An didn't notice her infatuated gaze, but angrily ordered Li Youde: "Quickly investigate, why did the Marquis's horse suddenly go crazy? It almost hurt the Imperial Concubine and my son. It's simply courting death!"
Li Youde quickly took people to check the white horse and found that it was spitting out a lot of white foam from its mouth.
He looked at Lin Yiwan for help: "Madam Hou, you know medicine, do you know why Bai Ma is in this state?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "I think someone fed me some poison that made me crazy before, and they wanted to kill me!"
Li Youde's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked at Zhan Yan.
Zhan Yan said coldly, "Look at what I'm doing? Could it be that I did it? Find the murderer for me immediately, or I'll tear her into pieces!"
The harsh words made Princess Xinya shudder all over. She never expected that Tu Wan's plan would not only fail, but also implicate Concubine Zhan.
Just when she was feeling guilty, King Zhongyong suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, if I may say so, whoever gave this white horse to the Marquis' wife is the most suspicious!"
Boom! Princess Xinya felt as if she was struck by lightning.
She was filled with resentment and anger in her heart, and said, "Father, thank you, your daughter!"
It was you who successfully made your daughter a suspect in the plot against Lin Yiwan!
Prince Zhongyong felt Lin Yiwan's meaningful gaze and couldn't help but frown and ask, "What does Madam Hou mean? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Yiwan said sincerely, "I think what the prince said is correct. Whoever led the horse is the most suspicious. So, Your Highness, why don't you step forward and admit that you did all this?"
Princess Xinya was so frightened that she quickly denied it: "I didn't do that. Although I led the white horse for you, I really didn't know it was drugged. Maybe you did it yourself. You are deliberately trying to murder the imperial concubine and the royal heir!"
King Chungyong broke out in a cold sweat. He had never expected that a casual remark would make his daughter the biggest suspect.
He also spoke up: "Yes, Xinya would never murder Concubine Zhan and her child. This must be a self-made plot by the Marquis. You know medicine best. Wouldn't it be easy for you to use some medicine to make the horse go crazy?"
Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows calmly, "But what reason do I have to murder Imperial Concubine Zhan? She's my husband's biological sister, a noblewoman from our Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion. Besides, it only takes a moment for me to ride on this white horse. No matter how powerful the drug is, it can't take effect immediately, unless someone has already made some arrangements!"
By this time, Li Youde had already called over the groom. He said in a panic, "Your Majesty, the fodder I prepared for the white horse has been replaced with Ziran powder, which can drive the horse crazy!"
Emperor Sheng An's eyes were stern. "Whoever carries the bottle of Ziran powder is the culprit. Li Youde has ordered a search!"
Princess Xinya let out a long sigh. She had buried the bottle long ago, and it was impossible to find it.
However, just when she thought everything was safe, she felt a small bottle inside her sleeve.
Her face suddenly changed. This wasn't right. It had clearly been thrown away, so how could it still be there?
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She subconsciously reached out and covered her stomach tightly, saying, "Father, I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go to the toilet!"
King Zhongyong felt sorry for her and nodded quickly: "Okay, go quickly, I'll send someone to accompany you!"
Seeing Princess Xinya about to leave, Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "Stop, Prince Zhongyong, even if we let her go, we have to finish the search first. Who knows if she's going to the toilet or destroying the evidence?"
The loyal and brave king stared at her fiercely: "Madam Hou, don't go too far. I said Xinya is not the murderer, don't speculate!"
Lin Yiwan looked at Zhan Yan with grievance, "My husband, I didn't say anything, but why does the King of Zhongyong look so guilty? He just relies on their royal status to bully others. I was clearly not feeling well, but he still forced me to participate in the competition. Our lives are like grass, and they can't even hold it in!"
King Zhongyong was immediately embarrassed. She was really bold to say that.
Isn't this a clear accusation that the Zhongyong Palace is bullying the weak?
He looked at Princess Xinya with anger on his face: "Let the nanny finish searching before you leave!"
Princess Xinya's heart was pounding. No, she couldn't be searched!
She didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
King Zhongyong's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "Xin Ya, stop!"
Princess Xinya turned a deaf ear to him, but Zi'er suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Bang!" Her long sword was unsheathed and placed directly across her neck, scaring her so much that she stopped immediately.
If she had taken another step forward, she would have been killed on the spot.
She hissed and cursed: "Bitch, you have such a big guts!"
After King Zhongyong rushed over, he raised his sword and slashed at Zi'er's back.
It's true that he was afraid of Zhan Yan, but he would not let the secret guards of Zhan Yihou's mansion bully his daughter.
Zi'er dodged quickly and neatly, turned around and hid behind Princess Xinya.
She lifted her collar by the back of her neck, brought her back to Lin Yiwan and said, "Madam, I have brought her back!"
Zhan Yan winked at the old lady, who rushed over and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
Without hesitation, she shouted, "Imperial Physician, come over here and check what's inside the porcelain bottle!"
The imperial physician hurried over, took the porcelain bottle, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then spoke with a complicated expression: "It was this that drove the white horse crazy!"
After a brief moment of shock, almost instantly, Prince Zhongyong rushed to Princess Xinya and slapped her hard in the face: "You damn girl, you almost killed Concubine Zhan, you have such a guts!"
Princess Xinya was stunned. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Father, why are you hitting me? I'm your daughter!"
King Zhongyong was shocked all over, damn it!
He lost his composure!
He seemed to care too much about Concubine Zhan!
He didn't hesitate any longer and quickly made amends with a sullen face, "It is precisely because you are my daughter that I must punish you. You know how much your uncle cares about his offspring, yet you still dare to act recklessly. If Concubine Zhan becomes even slightly unwell, is your life enough to pay for it?"
Princess Xinya is not stupid. She clearly feels that her father is inexplicably protecting Concubine Zhan.
She had previously thought that it was a cooperative relationship between the two sides, but now she felt a chill on her back.
