The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry
Chapter 3 Poisoned
"You'd better have a solution. Otherwise, even if you return to the capital, I can still throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves!"
A cold snort brought Shen Qionghua back to her senses. She collected her thoughts and looked at the other person with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Compared to her miserable appearance with a dirty face and bloody hands, Xie Nanyuan was extremely clean, with only a little dust on his clothes, which made the red slap mark on his face particularly conspicuous.
Shen Qionghua coughed lightly, sat up straight, and said, "Since I told the prince that there is a way, then I can definitely cure the prince, but..."
"But what?" Xie Nanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
If this woman dared to lie to him, he would let her know that there are some things in this world that are more terrifying than being thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves!
"I want to make a deal with Your Highness!" Shen Qionghua said firmly.
"Hmph!" Xie Nanyuan sneered, looking at Shen Qionghua as if he were an ant. "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? I think Miss Shen still prefers to keep company with the wolves in the mountains. Linze--"
"Hey, don't!" Shen Qionghua kept trying to stop him. She knew that the man in front of her was not easy to fool, and she secretly thought that she was too impatient.
"Let's put aside the matter of the transaction for now and discuss the prince's health first." Shen Qionghua lowered her voice. "The prince has been seriously injured since the battle last year. His wounds have healed over the past six months, but his health has been getting weaker day by day. Has the prince never been suspicious?"
Xie Nanyuan's heart sank, and huge waves rose in his eyes.
Only the emperor, the chief minister, and two attendants around him knew his medical history. Outsiders just thought he was seriously injured and had not recovered, and did not know the specific symptoms.
"What does Miss Shen mean?"
Shen Qionghua looked directly into the man's eyes and spoke word by word, "The prince is not seriously injured and has not recovered yet, but has been poisoned!"
As soon as these words fell, a strong wind blew and a big hand tightly grasped her neck!
Invisible murderous intent permeated the small carriage, and Xie Nanyuan's voice was chilling to the bone.
"My health has always been taken care of by the head of the Imperial Hospital appointed by the Emperor. Are you questioning the Emperor?"
Shen Qionghua rolled her eyes because of being pinched.
She desperately pulled at the man's iron hand with both hands, speaking with difficulty, "I'm not questioning the emperor... It's just that medicine and poison are two different factions... The director is a doctor, and he might be able to identify ordinary poisons... But if it's an extremely rare poison in the world, there's a chance that the director can't identify it..."
Xie Nanyuan was stunned for a moment, the hostility in his eyes dissipated, and he let go.
Shen Qionghua fell to the ground, his face turned blue. He tried hard to breathe in air, and it took him a long time to recover.
When she looked up, she saw the man wiping the hand that had just touched her with a blue handkerchief. He looked disgusted as if he had touched something dirty.
"Since the director of the Imperial Hospital didn't find out that I was poisoned, why is Miss Shen so sure that I was poisoned?" Xie Nanyuan stared at Shen Qionghua with his deep pupils, not missing any expression on her face.
Shen Qionghua calmed down and said, "Your Highness, I've lived in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion for so long, it's possible that I overheard something."
Of course, this was false. Her every move in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was under surveillance, so she had no chance to hear these things. It was just to make Prince Rui believe her more.
"Oh, Miss Shen means this is Prince An's work?"
The Yongning Marquisate is the home of Prince An's uncle. In the past, the old marquis lived a life of debauchery and neglected his duties, which led to the decline of the marquisate. It was when the current Marquis Yongning saved the life of the emperor, who was then a prince, while he was away that he caught the emperor's eye and gained a little power. Later, he sent his sister to the palace, who gave birth to the second prince, Xie Qian'an. He was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, and his power gradually increased. He is an unwavering supporter of Prince An's party.
"Your Highness knows it very well, right? Besides Prince An, who else would be so eager to take your life?"
Xie Nanyuan's lips curled slightly, and his already handsome features became even more beautiful. "How do I know if you were sent by the Yongning Marquisate to set a trap for me?"
"After all, I have heard that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion treats Miss Shen and her family very well. Why would Miss Shen choose to help me?"
Shen Qionghua was silent for a moment, with a look of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Your Highness, sometimes even seeing something isn't necessarily believing it, let alone hearing it."
A trace of deep thought flashed through Xie Nanyuan's mind. Just as he was about to try a few more words, Lin Ze's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, we have arrived in the capital."
The sky was slightly bright, and the summer heat seeped into the skin through the clothes. There was already a long queue of people at the city gate.
Shen Qionghua glanced at the time and said to Xie Nanyuan, "Your Highness, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can find a poison master to take a look at it privately."
"Also, the poison you were poisoned with must be extremely rare. As far as I know, there is only one person in the world who can cure it. I happen to know where he is and have a way to invite him here. It all depends on whether His Majesty is willing to trust me."
"I was reckless today. I hope Your Highness will forgive me. Qionghua has something else to do, so I'll leave first. If Your Highness trusts me, I'll see you in the Tianzi private room of Donglai Pavilion in three days."
After saying that, Shen Qionghua lifted the curtain and was about to get out of the car.
He paused just as he stepped onto the footstool, and looked at Xie Nanyuan with a pair of cold eyes, "If Your Majesty is worried about me because of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, why not send someone to investigate what happened in Tianlang Mountain a year ago?"
"Perhaps I can give the prince an answer."
Can also give me an answer.
Shen Qionghua lowered her eyes, got off the car and blended into the crowd.
"Your Highness, are you just going to let her go like that?" Lin Ze's surprised voice interrupted Xie Nanyuan's thoughts.
The latter frowned slightly, his tone unclear, "Why? You want to reminisce with her?"
Linze choked.
Your Highness, you kissed me!
At least give them a ride?
Don’t you like the girl?
That's not right. You hugged and kissed someone even though you didn't like them? And you whispered to them in the car?
Lin Ze scratched his head. "No, I haven't met Miss Shen before. I just feel..."
"What do you feel?" Xie Nanyuan glanced at Linze with a cold expression.
Lin Ze's heart skipped a beat. Looking at His Highness's still slightly swollen cheeks, he abruptly changed the subject, "I just wonder if Miss Shen knows any famous doctors? Perhaps they can cure His Highness's illness?"
Xie Nanyuan just looked at him quietly until Lin Ze couldn't bear the guilt anymore and turned away, then he snorted coldly.
"Go home!"
……
In the corner of a remote courtyard somewhere in the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
A white and slender hand pushed aside the withered weeds, and then a figure wrapped like a dumpling crawled out of the hole.
Shen Qionghua stood up, turned around and restored the cave entrance to its original state, then took off the cloak covering the outside, revealing his brand new outfit underneath.
She rolled up her dusty cloak, hid it in a corner, and then took a shortcut towards her courtyard.
It was already bright outside, and the usually bustling backyard was now unusually quiet. Two little maids hurried past on the cobblestone path.
"I heard that my cousin was rescued!"
"Really?"
"Of course, Madam has gone to the gate to meet people!"
"Come on, let's go and take a look!"
A gentle breeze blew by, the branches swayed, the pink and white albizzia flowers fluttered down, and a head popped out from behind the thick trunk.
Shen Qionghua's eyes rolled and he followed.
