When Emperor Xuanwu returned to Hexi Palace, his mood began to feel low. Even the thick-lined magpie noticed that he was unhappy and hid far away.
If anyone in this palace is most likely to become the emperor's punching bag, it must be her, Magpie.
After all, she once kicked the emperor out of Hexi Palace and slammed his door.
Jiang Xinyue brought him ginger soup with her own hands: "Your Majesty is also caught in the rain. Please quickly drink a bowl of hot ginger soup. I asked Magpie to put brown sugar in it. It won't be spicy."
She still remembered that Emperor Xuanwu couldn't eat spicy food very well.
The emperor took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp. After putting down the soup bowl, he hugged Jiang Xinyue tightly.
He didn't speak, but Jiang Xinyue felt a warm dampness on her shoulder.
The emperor...he cried! ?
At this time, there is no need to talk, companionship is the longest confession of love.
Jiang Xinyue stiffened at first, then raised her hand in surprise and patted his back gently.
Emperor Xuanwu's heirs were not considered abundant. The third prince was the eldest among the living princes, and he was also the one to whom he devoted the most effort.
At that time, the Queen's two princes passed away one after another, the fourth prince was not favored, and the fifth and sixth princes were not yet born.
He has been emperor for some years, and there are only four surviving princes and princesses in the palace.
In the past few years, there has only been one fifth prince and one sixth prince.
Those pregnant concubines would either die or not give birth at all.
It's not like Emperor Xuanwu didn't investigate, but after repeated investigations, he couldn't find the real murderer.
He controls the entire harem and knows the true personalities of all the concubines, but he has never been able to find out the "abortion expert" in the harem.
Although Concubine De is different from what she looks like, she has put much more effort into the third prince than the emperor. She should not be so cruel to the third prince.
Who is it that wants to harm the third prince and then put the blame on Jiang Xinyue?
Yanqing Palace——
Concubine De looked at Ning Feixiu who was lying on the ground, having been slapped fifty times, still vomiting blood in her mouth and twitching.
For the first time, a frighteningly gloomy expression appeared on Duanfang's face. After taking several deep breaths, he suppressed the violent emotions that were about to come out: "Didn't I tell you? I told you to bite Concubine Xian and not let go. Why did you change your words temporarily?"
Ning Feixiu had been beaten unconscious, but she still struggled to get up, knelt unsteadily on the ground, and looked at Concubine De with her eyes that were so swollen that she could hardly open them: "Master, slave... I don't know. Why, Concubine Xian... Concubine Xian’s eyes... are so... so scary, I have forgotten all the words that I memorized in advance..."
As she spoke, blood began to flow from her mouth. Her tongue licked the back molars, and all four big fangs fell out.
The saliva mixed with blood, turning into a thick, dirty liquid that dripped onto the carpet.
Concubine De frowned and winked at Lu Yin. Lu Yin immediately stepped forward and called two women to drag down the half-conscious Ning Feixiu.
The third prince needed someone to take care of him, so the imperial doctors prepared medicine on the spot while taking his pulse.
Concubine De walked over quietly: "How is it? Is there any progress?"
The imperial doctors all stood up and saluted Concubine De. On the ground where no one was paying attention, Lu Yin opened the bottle hidden in her hand, poured a bottle of transparent potion and mixed it with the herbs.
Then he pinched the small bottle back into his palm.
After doing all this, she nodded to Concubine De, and Concubine De called out: "Doctors, you don't have to be polite. Is it possible to cure the third prince's poison?"
Several imperial doctors looked at the bottles and jars on the table and said uncertainly: "I have prepared all the herbs suitable for the third prince's toxicity. This is the last dose."
In other words, if this last dose of medicine is useless, then the third prince will be hopeless.
"What are you waiting for?"
Concubine De picked up the medicine pot on the table and handed it to Lu Yin: "Hurry up and make a potion for the third prince to drink."
The reason she was so anxious was because she was the third prince's mother, and the imperial doctors all understood and were not dissatisfied with Concubine De's sudden move.
The virtuous concubines that the emperor knew were only part of the virtuous concubines.
Before Jiang Xinyue accepted the favor, no one could allow her to risk the third prince's life.
No!
It should be said that if Jiang Xinyue had not intervened, she would have been the biggest winner in the harem.
Therefore, she desperately wanted to get rid of Jiang Xinyue.
It's just that she underestimated Jiang Xinyue's weight in the emperor's heart, and also overestimated the weight of herself and the third prince in the emperor's heart.
One wrong step, one wrong step...
The queen's golden book may not be preserved.
If she plots against Concubine Xian like this, Concubine Xian will definitely retaliate.
The two of them were completely at odds from now on.
What a pity……
He almost folded the third prince in, but couldn't hurt Jiang Xinyue at all.
Emperor Xuanwu did not leave Hexi Palace all day, and only sent people to Yanqing Palace from time to time to check on the condition of the third prince.
Call him cowardly or evasive, he doesn't want to watch his beloved son pass away.
To him, that was tantamount to Ling Chi.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The Third Prince is awake! The Third Prince is awake!"
In the evening, Jiang Xinyue was nestling in Emperor Xuanwu's arms, reading a magazine about landscapes and scenery. When the eunuch who went to see the situation ran back again, he brought good news.
"The head of the hospital, Dr. Lin, prepared the antidote. The third prince has woken up."
Jiang Xinyue felt that the emperor's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, truly smiling with relief.
He thought of going to see the third prince, but he was afraid that Jiang Xinyue would be angry, so he looked restless.
"Your Majesty, won't you go and see the Third Prince?"
Jiang Xinyue gave him a step and said: "Even if Concubine De was frightened today, the emperor still has to take care of the third prince's mood. He suffered innocently. If the emperor can comfort him, he will feel warm in his heart and I believe he will be better soon. Get up."
Emperor Xuanwu moved and kissed his forehead: "Then I will go and see him."
Jiang Xinyue nodded. Concubine De's appearance was not very beautiful. She was getting older. She had made the emperor unhappy today. Even if the emperor stayed in Yanqing Palace all night, there was nothing to worry about. .
He stayed in Yanqing Palace to accompany the third prince.
"Master, you are too magnanimous. Why did you send the Emperor to Concubine De's palace? She is still treating you like that today."
The magpie cries for Jiang Xinyue.
"I am just following the emperor's wishes. Even if I don't say those words, he will still go in the end."
What are you stopping?
A conceited man like Emperor Xuanwu likes others to follow his wishes.
"Who poisoned the third prince?"
"It's just two people, the Queen and... Concubine De herself."
As for who is convicted in the end, it all depends on who has the upper hand.
