Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Chapter 37 Both jade and stone are destroyed

"You, you..." The attendant didn't know how to respond for a moment, "You deliberately angered His Highness and made him sick."

The vague suspicion hidden in Meng Tingyue's heart gradually became clear, like mist being blown away by the evening breeze.

The fifth prince deliberately planned to exchange marriages, so he pretended to be sick and got married early.

Otherwise, why would he be able to talk to Meng Qingjiao calmly for such a long time even though he liked her so much, and even whitewashed himself in order to arouse her sympathy.

Although the fifth prince is ill, his illness only flares up when he is exposed to cold or stimulation.

The wedding dress must have been tampered with by the fifth prince.

Suddenly, Meng Tingyue remembered something, her eyes turned cold, and the servant was shocked by her gaze.

In his previous life, he staged and directed the marriage exchange, and in the end he put the blame on her, saying that it was all because of her and that she should pay with her life. He said it so hypocritically and as if it was all right. He was indeed Shen Yunchen, and he really deserved to die.

Her gaze passed through the imperial physician and fell accurately on the fifth prince lying on the bed.

When she thought about how she was played around like a clown in her previous life and was eventually killed for no reason on a trumped-up charge, she wanted to rush up and pin the Fifth Prince to death.

She tried to breathe steadily and suppress the hatred burning in her chest.

"The Crown Prince is here."

The voice of the guards came from the outer courtyard.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the gradually darkening night outside.

finally come.

……

Two major events happened in the capital today.

One thing was that the Fifth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were getting married on the same day, and both of them were marrying girls from the same family. For a while, there were rumors and speculations everywhere, and people inside and outside the capital were talking about it.

Another major event was that when the Fifth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were marrying their beautiful lady, they accidentally picked up the wrong bride.

Upon hearing the news, the emperor and empress were furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

For a time, there was panic inside and outside the imperial city, and everyone was in danger.

Minister Meng's family naturally became the target of public criticism and the primary target of a thorough investigation.

Meng Tingyue was taken back to the Prince's Mansion in a red wedding dress.

In the bridal chamber, he saw the prince, who was also wearing a bright red wedding dress.

"This fact was an accident. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince can explain the truth to His Majesty to avoid harming innocent people due to this accident." After saying this, Meng Tingyue bowed slightly.

The suppressed anger in Shen Yunheng's heart was completely ignited when he met Meng Tingyue's gaze, which was still calm and composed after the marriage exchange.

His eyes were fixed on the bride who was standing quietly beside the bed and had lifted her veil on her own. He strode towards her with heavy and quick steps.

Meng Tingyue tightly grasped the red silk in her hand. She was shocked by his pressing momentum and stepped back involuntarily. Her legs hit the bed and she staggered backwards.

Shen Yunheng's eyes were already dark, fixed on Meng Tingyue, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "Don't care? Meng Tingyue, you teased the royal family, and your crime should be killed. Not only you, but also your closest relatives, all of them should be killed."

When Meng Tingyue heard this, her heart tightened. She reached out her hand to grab the wedding dress on Shen Yunheng's chest, unknowingly closing the distance between them.

"No."

The death of the Meng family is not a pity. If the Meng family puts all the blame for the marriage exchange on Qinglan Qingdian, His Majesty may forgive the Meng family's mistake because she and Meng Qingjiao are imperial concubines, but he will not let Qinglan Qingdian off easily.

"You first threatened me with my fifth brother's life, even though you had anticipated what would happen today. Now you're telling me to let it go. Do you think I'm someone you can easily tease?"

Meng Tingyue was worried that she hadn't appeared before the Crown Prince for too long, so she wrote this sentence in her last letter to the Crown Prince: "I will marry Heng, the man I love. If there is any mistake, I would rather perish with him."

Shen Yunheng received the last letter from Meng Qingjiao yesterday. At that time, he had not yet figured out the meaning of her sudden words at the end of the letter.

Until today, when an accident happened at the wedding hall and the wrong bride was welcomed, he immediately understood the meaning of Meng Tingyue's letter.

If she marries someone else, she will perish with that person.

"The marriage exchange was an accident, and what was stated in the letter is my true feelings. There is no connection between the two. Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, so how could he implicate innocent people?"

Meng Tingyue's palms were slightly sweaty, but she still tried her best to maintain a calm appearance. "Besides, if you really want to calculate it carefully, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still owes me a few lives."

Shen Yunheng's eyes tightened slightly, and his big hand tightly grasped Meng Tingyue's slender white neck, "Are you threatening me?"

Even though her life was in the hands of others, Meng Tingyue did not show any fear.

"Although the Night Pearl is valuable, it's not like our Meng family hasn't seen good things before. If I can use that Night Pearl to buy a few lives, I am willing to return it to the prince in exchange for a few lives."

There was a strong storm in Shen Yunheng's dark eyes, and the strength in his hands became heavier.

Meng Tingyue felt a little suffocated, and also sensed that something was wrong with the prince's mood.

She moved her fingertips lightly and slowly touched the sachet on her waist.

At the same time, the other hand slowly touched the pearl hairpin on her head.

"Impossible."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Shen Yunheng's eyes, and he easily controlled her hand that was trying to pull out the gold hairpin.

At the same time, Meng Tingyue took out the golden needle from the sachet with her other hand, and inserted it into the back of Shen Yunheng's neck without hesitation at lightning speed.

Shen Yunheng's pupils suddenly narrowed, his gaze as sharp as a torch, fixed tightly on Meng Tingyue, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his heart.

Then he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell limply towards Meng Tingyue.

Meng Tingyue was caught off guard and was almost unable to breathe due to the sudden weight.

She struggled to push away the heavy body that was pressing on her.

Suddenly, something gently pushed against her body. After guessing what it was, she frowned and pushed harder with her hands.

After pushing the unconscious Shen Yunheng away, beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.

Holding his neck which still felt a little painful, he leaned against the bed frame and collapsed to the ground.

She still felt a little scared when she recalled what happened just now.

There was a strange smell in the room, so she covered her nose and began to look for where the smell came from.

After finding the scent in a gilded incense burner with auspicious beasts, she used a teapot to extinguish the incense in the burner and covered the incense burner with the red cloth of her veil.

She had never expected that the prince would suffer from mania.

There is another problem with the incense in the bridal chamber, as it contains aphrodisiacs.

If used on ordinary days, it would only have an aphrodisiac effect.

But the prince suffers from mania, and what happened today, plus what she said, all became triggers for the prince's manic attack.

The combination of these two factors caused the prince's manic attack to almost strangle her to death.

She inserted the golden needle into the bottom of the sachet, and after calming down, she went to see the prince.

The prince's brows were tightly knitted together. Even though he was just unconscious, the slight surprise emanating from his body still made people feel frightened and wanted to retreat away involuntarily.

Meng Tingyue had just returned from a near-death experience, and the fear and anxiety in her heart had not yet completely dissipated.

She breathed gently, trying to calm her disordered breathing and mood. After a while, she came to the bed and placed her fingertips on Prince Maipo.

The prince has been suffering from mania for a long time. It can be seen that the prince usually suppresses the manic desires in his heart by taking medicine and keeping a calm mind, preventing it from breaking out.

She had no medicine on hand at the moment, so she could only call someone in.

The first thing Ling Xiao saw when he entered the room was Meng Tingyue and the very conspicuous palm print on her neck.

Glancing sideways, he saw the prince lying unconscious on the bed.

A bad guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

"The prince had a manic attack and attacked me directly. I knocked him unconscious. His life is not in danger, but he is still needed."

Since Meng Tingyue mentioned it first, others would have a preconceived impression. She even found a suitable angle to clearly show the red marks on her neck to everyone.

When Ling Xiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. When his eyes touched the red mark on her neck, he shuddered and looked away. "I'll send someone to call the imperial physician immediately."

"By the way, send someone to take the incense from the furnace and examine it carefully. I suspect that aphrodisiacs have been mixed in it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mania might have been triggered by the aphrodisiac incense." Meng Tingyue raised her hand lightly and pointed casually.
