NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33 Don't Believe Him
When the queen heard that it was sent by the prince, her face suddenly darkened.
She looked at her son's pale face due to pain, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief in her hand. She found that her son had fallen into a coma, and her hands were shaking with fear.
"Yu'er, don't scare your mother."
In a hurry, she also forgot her identity as the queen, and yelled at the servants: "Where is the imperial doctor? You bunch of dogs are taking care of my son like this? What's the point of raising you?"
Xiao Guizi almost fainted when she saw her master fainted, "Reply to the queen, I have already asked for the imperial doctor, and he is on the way."
"The imperial doctor is here."
As soon as the voice fell, several imperial doctors strode in with medicine boxes.
The queen saw the imperial doctor as if she saw a savior, "Imperial doctor, come and see Yu'er."
"Yes, queen."
The imperial doctors surrounded the bed and surrounded the bed tightly.
The queen couldn't see her son, and she was anxiously turning around in the room. She stopped and looked inside.
"Imperial physician, how is Yu'er?"
The imperial physicians observed, smelled, asked and palpated the patient and came to a conclusion.
The leading imperial physician bowed his head and reported the result: "Empress, the Seventh Prince is poisoned."
"Poisoned?" The Empress' legs softened and she fell directly into the chair. Thinking that the roasted lamb was sent by the Crown Prince, she was furious: "Eunuch Ren, go and ask the Crown Prince to come."
"Yes." Eunuch Ren took the order and hurriedly withdrew.
The Queen looked at her son who was unconscious on the bed and yelled at the imperial physician: "What are you doing? Detoxify Yu'er quickly. If anything happens to Yu'er, I will make you all go to the grave with him."
The imperial physicians were frightened and their legs softened, "Quick, prepare the medicine quickly."
Several imperial physicians gathered together to study the medicine.
Xiyun Pavilion
Outside the door came the anxious and shrill voice of Eunuch Liu: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something happened."
Xiao Jinyan has always been a light sleeper. When he heard Eunuch Liu's voice, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed. When he opened the door, he saw not only Eunuch Liu but also Eunuch Ren beside the Queen.
He thought that the Queen was dissatisfied with him staying in Xiyun Pavilion, so she asked Eunuch Ren to come, and frowned.
"It's so late, how can Eunuch Ren have time to come to such a remote warm room?"
Eunuch Ren lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother asked the prince to go to Qiancheng Hall."
Xiao Jinyan had a bad feeling when he heard about Qiancheng Hall. He looked at Eunuch Ren and asked in a deep voice: "Eunuch Ren, do you know why my mother asked me to go to Qiancheng Hall so late?"
"You will know when you go there." Eunuch Ren did not show it on his face, but he thought in his heart that if he murdered his own brother, the prince's position might be unstable.
Murdered his own brother?
Xiao Jinyan quickly guessed that something happened to Xiao Jinyu, and it was related to him.
"I will go to Qiancheng Hall immediately after changing my clothes."
After saying that, he closed the door and turned to go in to change clothes.
The noise even woke up Shen Chuwei. She rubbed her eyes and saw Xiao Jinyan coming in. She squinted and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jinyan picked up the clothes on the hanger and put them on while replying, "Jinyu is in trouble."
Shen Chuwei was not fully awake yet. After thinking for a while, she remembered that Jinyu was Xiao Jinyan's younger brother. Xiao Jinyan asked Eunuch Liu to send roasted lamb to Xiao Jinyu tonight.
"Your Highness, is it serious?"
Xiao Jinyan's eyes were solemn, "Yes."
Eunuch Ren said that he was murdering his own brother, which meant that Jinyu was in danger at the moment.
Shen Chuwei was also fully awake at this time. Seeing Xiao Jinyan's solemn eyes, it was the first time she saw him show such an expression.
After thinking about it, she decided to go with him to see.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stood beside Xiao Jinyan, picked up the clothes and put them on.
Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Chuwei's actions and said lightly: "You don't have to follow."
Shen Chuwei replied while putting on her clothes: "Your Highness, I can't sleep."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused when she heard this. As the matter was urgent, she followed her.
After getting dressed, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan to Qiancheng Hall.
As soon as she stepped into Qiancheng Hall, she heard the angry roar of the Queen.
"You are all a bunch of quacks, all a bunch of quacks, come, drag them all out and behead them."
Shen Chuwei subconsciously shrank her neck when she heard the last two words. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The ancients were not deceiving me.
Xiao Jinyan walked in with an anxious step and saw people kneeling on the ground in the room, and the imperial doctors were kneeling on the ground.
He glanced at the bed through the crowd and saw Xiao Jinyu lying on the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale and without a trace of life.
No matter how calm he was, he also showed a trace of panic at this time.
"Mother, what happened to my brother?"
Xiao Jinyan strode over to see what happened to his brother.
As soon as he walked over, he was pushed away by the Queen Mother, "Stay away from Yu'er, you are not allowed to touch him, you are not worthy of being his brother."
Xiao Jinyan took several steps back, looking at the nearly crazy mother, tears fell like beads, looking at him with anger and hatred.
"Mother, it was not my son."
"It was not you? Didn't you send the roasted lamb? If it wasn't for the roasted lamb, how could Yu'er be poisoned?"
"I sent the roasted lamb to my brother to taste, but I never poisoned it."
"You are still quibbling?"
The Queen Mother was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. She saw the glass cup on the bedside table, picked it up and threw it at Xiao Jinyan.
It happened in just a moment, Xiao Jinyan did not dodge, and took it hard, with blood flowing from his forehead.
Shen Chuwei encountered such a scene for the first time. After a moment of stunned, she took a handkerchief and quickly stepped forward to stop Xiao Jinyan's bleeding.
Only then did she know that Xiao Jinyu was poisoned because of eating roasted lamb.
Could someone have poisoned the lamb?
She looked at the Queen and explained, "Queen, I roasted the lamb myself. It has nothing to do with Your Highness."
When the Queen saw Shen Fengyi, her eyes became even more angry. "You have no right to speak here. Get out of the way."
The Queen was so fierce...
"Queen, I did roast the lamb myself. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Imperial Kitchen."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei trying to defend himself. It was the first time that someone took the initiative to take the blame in order to prove his innocence.
He looked at the Queen and said word by word: "Mother, I decided to give the roasted lamb to my brother after eating it with Shen Fengyi. I can guarantee with my life that I did not poison him."
The Queen did not believe the Prince's words at all, "Yu'er was poisoned only after eating the roasted lamb you sent tonight. How do you explain it?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "Mother, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Whoever dares to murder the prince, I will definitely not let him go easily."
The Queen stared at the Prince, obviously not believing his words.
Shen Chuwei was somewhat glad that she came with him tonight, otherwise Xiao Jinyan would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Queen, I can explain why the Seventh Prince is like this."
Why did the Queen think that the Prince poisoned him?
1. The Queen was too afraid, which is a human instinct
2. The Queen was partial + suspicious
3. As for why the Queen was like this, there is an explanation in the following chapters. There is a cause before there is an effect.
