Su Xiaoxiao squeezed her hand comfortingly and pulled her to a stool. “I’ll go take a look at the Empress. Sit here and wait for me.”
Princess Jingning nodded obediently.
The palace servants were dumbfounded.
This was the legitimate child of the Central Palace. Where was the aura of fighting with Princess Hui An?
Su Xiaoxiao came to the phoenix bed.
The people from the Imperial Hospital had experienced her medical skills. After being slapped in the face by her a few times, they no longer dared to underestimate her.
Imperial Physician Zhu and Imperial Physician Wan automatically made way.
They did not leave. Instead, they wanted to stay and observe Su Xiaoxiao’s medical skills. It would be even better if they could learn something.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the Empress’s complexion and knew that the Empress’s condition was fine.
She took the Empress’s pulse and checked her nails and pupils to further confirm her diagnosis.
“The two imperial physicians saved her in time. Her Majesty’s life is no longer in danger.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The two imperial physicians looked at her with complicated expressions.
She had specially explained that the two of them had been saved in time. This was equivalent to giving them credit.
Although it was indeed their credit, if she insisted that they had not saved her properly, no one would question her given her previous experience.
She could leave the credit to herself.
At this moment, the two of them really looked at Su Xiaoxiao in a different
IIBIIL.
Su Xiaoxiao gave the Empress two antidotes.
The two imperial physicians wanted to ask for the prescription for the pills but they were not that thick-skinned.
After the imperial physicians left, Princess Jingning dismissed the palace servants.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What happened? Why was the Empress poisoned?”
Princess Jingning patted the stool beside her.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down.
Only then did Princess Jingning say, “Today, Second Sister-in-law entered the palace to pay her respects to my mother and told her the good news of her pregnancy. It turns out that Second Sister-in-law had already found out that she was pregnant when she went to pray for blessings. She didn’t dare to say anything because she was in her first trimester.”
Su Xiaoxiao recalled that when she bandaged the Second Prince’s wife’s wound that day, the other party had indeed been protecting her belly.
So she was pregnant.
Princess Jingning continued, “Sister-in-law and Secondary Consort Qin were also here.”
“Qin… Yanran?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“It’s her,” Princess Jingning said.
It had been too long since she heard this name. Su Xiaoxiao almost forgot about this person.
Princess Jingning said, “As you know, my brother has fallen out of favor with my father recently. In addition, the two of them lied about Secondary Consort Qin falling into the water. My father originally wanted to cancel this marriage, but the royal family has already had a number of scandals. My father doesn’t want the royal family to be subjected to more embarrassment, so he can only acknowledge Secondary Consort Qin. The banquet was canceled, and she entered the Eldest Prince’s residence in a sedan chair .”
This was probably the saddest concubine appointment in the history of the royal family.
“After entering the residence, she entered the palace the next day to pay our respects to the Empress. This is a rule set by the ancestors. At noon, my mother asked them to eat at Kunning Palace. In the afternoon, a group of people went to the imperial garden and happened to meet Consort Xian and Hui An admiring the flowers.”
At this point, Princess Jingning added, “There was no class today.”
Su Xiaoxiao gestured for her to continue.
Princess Jingning said, “Later on, everyone went to the nearby pavilion. My mother asked the imperial kitchen to make some snacks and send them over. Consort Xian asked for a bottle of fruit wine. After drinking it, my mother was poisoned.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Were you there?”
Princess Jingning shook her head. “I was here originally, but later on, Hui An argued with me. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I left first. The others drank too, but only my mother’s cup was poisonous.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The poison was in the cup.”
Princess Jingning nodded. “That’s right. The two imperial physicians realized that there was still poison left on the mouth of the cup. It’s a kind of juice brewed with aconite and happens to be similar in color to the fruit brew. The eunuch serving the tea set has already committed suicide on the spot. However, Consort Xian ordered the causal seed brew. She has already been called to the Imperial Study for questioning by Father.” Su Xiaoxiao sniffed.
Princess Jingning looked at her strangely. “What’s wrong?”
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and walked towards the Empress’s bed.
She sniffed the bed and lay down to look under it.
She moved her foot away and scooped with her hand. She couldn’t reach it and wanted to get In, Dut sne was stuck.
“The bed is too small!”
She would never admit that she was fat!
Princess Jingning burst out laughing. “Yes, the bed is too small. I’ll get Mother to customize a new bed later. I guarantee it’ll be big and high.”
Su Xiaoxiao stuck her chubby leg in and swept the things out.
It was a little person covered in long needles. It was wearing the same clothes as Princess Jingning and had Princess Jingning’s birth characters on its back.
The little person had the incense that was used by the White Lotus Society.
Su Xiaoxiao had interacted with many White Lotus Society members, but not everyone had them.
For example, Boss Lin of the gambling den, Madam Wei, and Sister-in-law Chu did not have incense on them.
The room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. If not for Su Xiaoxiao’s sharp nose and her sensitivity to this smell, she might not have noticed it.
“How… could this be?” Princess Jingning was in disbelief.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Princess, that poisonous wine glass was aimed at you today.”
Because Princess Jingning who was driven away by Princess Hui An, the poisonous wine cup could not be removed. In the end, it entered the empress’s stomach.
It seemed that the White Lotus Society had already infiltrated the harem.
MO Guiyuan’s plan of 30 years was really terrifyingly powerful.
How did he do it?
In the Imperial Study, Consort Xian took out her handkerchief and cried bitterly. “Your Majesty… I was wronged! I didn’t harm the Empress! Yes! I wanted the fruit wine! But I drank it myself! Could it be that I even poisoned myself? Moreover, I was fine. They were fine after drinking it… Who knew that something would happen to the Empress…”
Emperor Jing Xuan said coldly, “You mean the Empress poisoned herself and framed you with a ruse?”
Consort Xian’s eyes flashed. “I didn’t say that.”
Emperor Jing Xuan said coldly, “What’s the benefit of her harming you? She doesn’t have a son. Why should she fight with you!”
Consort Xian said aggrievedly, “But I don’t have to harm the Empress…”
Her son was in the limelight now and would definitely be able to climb to the top in the future. No matter what, she would be the Empress Dowager. Why would she fight with the Empress in the short term?
If she wanted to fight, she would fight with Consort Zhao and Consort Yu to prevent their sons from having the chance to fight for the throne with her third son!
Princess Hui An grabbed Emperor Jing Xuan’s sleeve. “Father, believe Mother…
Mother won’t poison Mother…”
“Your Majesty, Princess Jingning requests an audience,” Eunuch Fu reported.
Emperor Jing Xuan said calmly, “Come in.”
Princess Jingning entered and handed the little person she had found under the phoenix bed in Kunning Palace to Emperor Jing Xuan.
How could Emperor Jing Xuan not tell that the other party was here for Jingning?
Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression turned even colder.
Jingning carried the luck of the royal family. If one touched Jingning, it would be akin to touching the royal family. His sons would not do this, nor would
Consort Xian..
