When Shi Huaizhi's people were present, Sheng Nanzhi insisted that the medicine was given by Shi Huaizhi, and she fainted in front of everyone.
Shi Huaizhi's men immediately stopped Li Yueru who wanted to approach her, and quickly invited Shi Huaizhi over, and also invited the imperial physician.
Sheng Nanzhi had just returned and had been tossed around for several times. She was really sleepy. After making sure that she was safe, she simply fell asleep.
But not long after, she was woken up.
As soon as he woke up, he heard someone talking: "This humble official carefully examined the two bowls of contraceptive soup that Miss Sheng drank and found that they were both spiked with Zuimengsan. This is a chronic poison. After taking it, the toxin will slowly spread through the body. After 28 days, the toxin will spread to the brain, and the person poisoned will become stupid."
It should be the imperial physician.
"In the bowl of contraceptive soup at the Sheng Mansion, besides Zuimengsan, I also found Yueyuehong. Yueyuehong is a potent poison. After taking it, symptoms such as bleeding from all seven orifices and unbearable abdominal pain will occur."
"But neither Zuimengsan nor Yueyuehong caused coma. I don't know why Miss Sheng fell into a coma. Perhaps it was because the two poisons were taken at the same time, and the drugs used in the two poisons interacted with each other, causing new symptoms."
"I have already given Miss Sheng the antidotes for both drugs, but I really don't know when she will wake up."
As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, Shi Huaizhi's voice rang out.
"Madam Sheng, I am absolutely certain that I never had anyone poison the contraceptive soup. The contraceptive soup was given to Madam Sheng. How do you want to explain this matter, Madam Sheng?"
Li Yueru was flustered and insisted that the matter had nothing to do with her: "I don't know. I was just afraid that Sheng Nanzhi would play tricks, so I asked the servants to make an extra bowl of contraceptive soup. I really didn't poison her."
Shi Huaizhi raised his eyelids and nodded: "Check."
The attendant beside Shi Huaizhi immediately took over the conversation: "We must investigate thoroughly. After all, one of the bowls of contraceptive soup was sent by the Sixth Prince. Since both bowls are poisoned, this involves the crime of framing the prince."
In just a few words, the matter was framed as a crime against the prince. Even Sheng Lin, the prime minister, was reluctant to say anything. He only ordered the butler: "You personally take the Sixth Prince's men to search."
The housekeeper led his men away, and almost everyone noticed that Li Yueru's expression suddenly became stiff.
The attendant glanced at Li Yueru and continued, "Even if there was no poisoning, Madam Sheng really shouldn't have made this extra bowl of contraceptive soup."
"No matter why Miss Sheng had a relationship with the Sixth Prince, it happened. If Miss Sheng becomes pregnant, the child she will carry will be the emperor's grandson, a royal heir."
"Even if the Sixth Prince doesn't want it, this contraceptive soup can only be given by the Sixth Prince. Madam Sheng's making of this soup is interfering in the Prince's private affairs. At the very least, it's meddling in the Prince's private affairs. At the worst, it's murdering the royal heir."
"Madam Sheng, as the wife of the Prime Minister and a lady of high rank in the imperial court, shouldn't she not know such a simple truth?"
Sheng Nanzhi laughed secretly in her heart, and Li Yueru of course knew it.
She just thought it was just an extra bowl of contraceptive soup, and it was just putting some chronic poison in the contraceptive soup.
If the door is closed, no one will know.
It took nearly a month for the poison to take effect.
By that time, if nothing unexpected had happened, I should have been in the nunnery, and no one would have thought that it was she who poisoned me.
She didn't expect that she would bleed from all seven orifices on the spot, and even brought the matter to the attention of the Sixth Prince.
Without waiting for Li Yueru to explain, Shi Huaizhi spoke in a cold voice: "I'm not blaming the Prime Minister's wife. I just really don't like it when someone interferes in my affairs and acts in my name and so presumptuously."
Li Yueru looked embarrassed and turned to look at Sheng Lin. Seeing that Sheng Lin didn't say a word, her heart sank.
"I……"
She was about to speak when she heard a cry of pain from behind the screen.
The imperial physician's voice then rang out: "Miss Sheng is awake."
Everyone quickly moved behind the screen. Sheng Nanzhi's face was filled with pain. The imperial physician was checking her pulse. "Miss Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
"It hurts." Sheng Nanzhi hunched over, her whole body curled up. "My stomach hurts. It hurts so much."
Shi Huaizhi also walked around the screen and reached the bedside. Sheng Nanzhi cried out in pain, but when she saw Shi Huaizhi, she tensed up again, her face full of pain and vigilance. "What happened between me and the Sixth Prince today was not my fault. I've also said that I'm willing to take contraceptive soup and become a monk. I will never stand in the way of the Sixth Prince and my second sister's marriage. Why does the Sixth Prince...still want to kill me?"
Shi Huaizhi pursed his lips tightly: "I didn't poison him, but I have sent people to investigate."
"Don't worry, this concerns my reputation, I will get to the bottom of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Reporting to the Sixth Prince, we have found it."
"Oh?"
Shi Huaizhi then walked around the screen and looked at the attendant who came to report.
Sheng Nanzhi was unwilling to miss such a good show, so she quickly asked someone to help her up and followed her out.
"My subordinates questioned everyone who had come into contact with the medicine sent from the Sixth Prince's residence and searched their homes one by one. They soon discovered the Drunken Dream Powder poison in the room of Madam Sheng's personal maid, Mo Tao."
As the attendant spoke, he escorted a maid into the house.
Shi Huaizhi turned his head and glanced at Li Yueru: "Madam Sheng, how do you explain this matter?"
Li Yueru twisted the handkerchief in her hands and said, "I really don't know."
As she denied it, she looked steadily at the maid named Mo Tao, her eyes filled with undisguised threat.
Mo Tao shuddered all over and knelt down hurriedly: "I was the one who poisoned you, but I am solely responsible for my actions. This whole thing was just my idea and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Sheng Nanzhi was puzzled: "I have only been back home for a month. I have no grudges against you in the past or today. I don't even remember meeting you. Why do you want to harm me?"
Mo Tao lowered her head. "Madam had previously promised me that if the Second Miss married into the Sixth Prince's household, I would be allowed to accompany her as a dowry maid. Now that the First Miss has climbed into the Sixth Prince's bed, I'm worried that things might change, so I had no choice but to come up with this plan."
"Drunken Dream Powder can make people stupid. I just thought that a stupid person would never be able to become the Sixth Prince's consort. That's why I poisoned the young lady."
"Nonsense!" Li Yueru was furious. "You poisoned the young lady for your own selfish gain. You are truly ruthless. The Sheng Mansion will not tolerate you no matter what. Come, drag her away and beat her to death!"
Mo Tao's whole body trembled, but he just crawled on the ground, not daring to move.
Sheng Nanzhi glanced at Mo Tao and recalled some past events from his previous life: "There's no need to beat her to death. I didn't die anyway."
"After all, she is my mother's personal maid. Twenty strokes of the cane will serve as a warning to others."
Li Yueru pursed her lips and said, "Okay, let's do as Nanzhi said."
The servant dragged Mo Tao away, and Li Yueru turned her gaze to Shi Huaizhi again: "It is because I, your wife, have failed to manage my subordinates. Is this treatment satisfactory to the Sixth Prince?"
Shi Huaizhi said calmly, "The person who was poisoned is Miss Sheng. Let's do whatever she wants."
"I still have a few questions for Miss Sheng, Prime Minister, and Madam Sheng..."
Before Shi Huaizhi could finish his words, Sheng Lin immediately responded, "Yes, Sixth Prince, please do as you please. We will take our leave now."
After Sheng Lin and Li Yueru left, Shi Huaizhi walked towards Sheng Nanzhi step by step, pinched her chin, and forced her to look up: "Use me? Sheng Nanzhi, you are so brave."
