Large basins of blood were brought out from the side hall, and the maids and chambermaids outside knelt on the ground.
Qian Qiyue was tied up and thrown aside. She was accompanied by the pale Zhou Yuchang and Fu Jinrou. On the other side, there were also imperial doctors coming in and out. It looked like someone besides the prince was injured.
"Sister Qian!"
Tang Ning saw that there was blood on Qian Qiyue's face and something was gagged in her mouth. She quickly wanted to get closer, but as soon as she stepped forward, the guard blocked her back.
Liu Tongen looked indifferent when he saw her: "Princess Xiangning, please step back. This woman is plotting to kill the prince. No one else can get close to her!"
Tang Ning looked ugly.
Concubine Zhaogui stepped forward: "General Liu."
When Liu Tongen saw Zhaogui Concubine, his expression calmed down a little: "Greetings to Zhaogui Concubine."
Concubine Zhaogui said in a deep voice: "What happened? Miss Qian was ordered to enter the palace to take care of the sick. How could she murder the prince?"
Liu Tongen said: "I don't know, but the prince was seriously injured, and someone saw the Qian girl hurting someone with her own eyes."
Yu Yanfeng stood aside and saw Tang Ning pursed her lips and looking at Qian Qiyue. He said from the side: "The specific matter has not been found out yet. Wei Chen just asked, it was the maid on duty in Shoukang Palace who was behind. I heard screams outside the Chu Pian Hall, and then I saw the prince falling out covered in blood."
"The palace door was wide open at that time, and Miss Qian was inside, holding the murder weapon that injured the prince in her hand."
Tang Ning's heart suddenly sank when he heard this. There was a murder weapon and witnesses, and it was clear that he wanted to kill Qian Qiyue.
Yu Yanfeng continued: "The two palace maids saw Miss Qian hurt the prince with their own eyes, Miss Fu and Mrs. Zhou were also there."
"Where is Mrs. Wenxinhou?" Tang Ning suddenly said.
Madam Cao said before that Qian Qiyue went out with Madam Wenxinhou.
Yu Yanfeng paused: "Mrs. Marquis Wenxin was also injured and was also unconscious in the hall. She is currently being treated by the imperial physician."
Everyone's expressions changed. Even Mrs. Wen Xinhou was injured. They couldn't help but cast their eyes on Qian Qiyue and Zhou Yuchang, who were awake. Their eyes were full of surprise.
What happened? How could it be like this?
The prince was injured, Mrs. Wenxinhou was in a coma, and the news could not be concealed.
Just a moment after Tang Ning and the others passed by, Granny Ran hurried over with someone in tow.
"General Liu, the Queen Mother has ordered you to take the person to the back hall, and she will personally interrogate him."
Liu Tongen nodded: "Yes."
Aunt Ran said again: "Noble Concubine, Xian Concubine, and ladies, today's banquet is over, and the Queen Mother allows you to leave first."
Zhaogui concubine said quickly: "How can this be done? I am very worried if something happens to the prince, and it is very important for Miss Qian to hurt someone. Please allow the queen mother to allow me, concubine and others to observe."
Tang Ning also said in a cold voice: "Sister Qian has always abided by the palace rules when she comes to the palace to serve the sick, and she will never hurt the prince for no reason. During this time, I was in the same room with Sister Qian, and she couldn't hide her affairs from me. , Besides, so many people have heard what happened today, there is no need to cover it up, since the Queen Mother wants to be interrogated, she will let us accompany her."
Aunt Ran frowned: "The Queen Mother asked you to leave the palace first..."
"Since we are all serving the sick, why are we allowed to leave first? The prince's life and death are unknown. Although Sister Qian is involved in the case, there may not be any misunderstandings. Is the Queen Mother so sure that it was she who hurt someone and not someone else who instigated it?"
Tang Ning lost her usual humility and spoke with a bit of coldness: "Is there anything the Queen Mother doesn't want others to hear?"
"Presumptuous!" Nanny Ran shouted: "How dare you make baseless assumptions about the Queen Mother?!"
Tang Ning was not afraid to look back: "I don't dare. I just feel that since the incident happened in the Shoukang Palace, everyone in the Shoukang Palace should be present today to avoid any gossip after the Queen Mother's interrogation, which will harm the Queen Mother." reputation."
Grandma Ran's face was ugly, and the others did not dare to speak out.
Seeing Tang Ning not taking a step back, Yu Yanfeng suddenly said: "Aunt Ran, a girl from the Qian family suddenly hurt someone. The Marquis Wenxin and the Fu family are also involved. They are among the people who entered the palace this time to attend to the illness. There are so many interactions, and it’s really not appropriate to let others leave before finding out the truth.”
Concubine Zhao Gui also said: "What Commander Yu said makes sense. Miss Qian has always been straightforward. If she is instigated or used by others or there is some misunderstanding, it is better to call everyone over. If anything happens, we will It’s nice to ask on the spot, what do you think, Nanny Ran?”
After listening to what the two of them said, Granny Ran saw Tang Ning looking at her with a cold face. She pondered for a moment before speaking: "Okay, let's all come together."
Qian Qiyue was almost lifted up by the guards. Tang Ning saw that she seemed to be injured. Her face was pale from the pain when walking, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. Zhou Yuchang also had some discomfort in her legs and feet, and her head and lips were hanging down. There is no blood on it.
Fu Jinrou followed the two of them. When Tang Ning looked over, she subconsciously avoided them. Her eyes that she dared not look directly revealed a guilty conscience.
"Tang Ning..." Rongyue lowered his voice: "Don't be impulsive."
She could see Tang Ning's tense jaw and face full of gloom.
Tang Ning pursed her lips: "I know."
At this time, impulsiveness was of no use. Instead, it would harm Qian Qiyue and the others. She glanced at Yu Yanfeng, who was walking by, and whispered: "Commander Yu."
"Princess Princess."
"I wonder how Mrs. Wenxinhou is doing?"
Yu Yanfeng stopped next to her: "Mrs. Wenxinhou's injuries are not serious, but she has been unconscious. His Highness the Crown Prince's injuries were too serious. All the doctors staying at the Imperial Medical Office have been called over, and someone has also sent a message. Eunuch Feng informed Your Majesty."
Tang Ning paused and lowered his eyes.
There are Doctors Jiang and Sun in the Imperial Medical Office, and Feng Lai is beside Emperor An. No matter who they are, they will try their best to send a message out of the palace to inform their brother.
Someone was looking this way in front of him, and Tang Ning didn't dare to ask any more questions, fearing that someone would notice that something was wrong with Yu Yanfeng, so he just said:
"Commander Yu, my aunt and Mrs. Wenxinhou have been friends for many years. She is now unconscious and my aunt is very worried. Can Commander Yu send two people to protect my aunt and Mrs. Wenxinhou?"
Yu Yanfeng nodded: "Of course."
He turned around and ordered to go down, and two guards stayed behind.
Tang Ning then turned around and took Rongyue's hand: "Aunt, I don't know what's going on with Aunt Jun. Yu Chang was taken away again. Since you are worried about her, just stay and take care of her. I will go over to the Queen Mother's side."
Tangning squeezed Rongyue's palm hard as she spoke:
"Such a big thing happened in the palace. I don't know who hurt Aunt Jun. I always feel that this Shoukang Palace makes people uneasy."
"Yue Jian, you and Shi Lan stay here with your aunt, and you must stay close to your aunt and Mrs. Wenxinhou."
Yue Jian was stunned for a moment, and saw that although Tang Ning was talking about Mrs. Wenxinhou, her eyes were focused on where the prince was, and her expression changed slightly.
The girl was worried that someone would take the opportunity to kill the prince...
Rongyue felt the strength in her hands and suddenly understood what Tang Ning meant. She swallowed back the words she was about to refuse: "I will accompany Yu Jun, Yue Jian and the others will also guard this side, but the Queen Mother, please be careful. .”
