NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35 Is this a lucky wife?
Shen Chuwei was a little embarrassed. How could she know what was wrong with Xiao Jinyu? She didn't even have the chance to get close to Xiao Jinyu.
But from his complexion, it can be seen that he was poisoned.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince was indeed poisoned."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "Then why do you say he was not poisoned but sick?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "Your Highness, the situation was urgent at the time. If it was poisoning, the Queen was angry and would definitely not give Your Highness the opportunity to find out the truth, and would miss the time to save the Seventh Prince."
Xiao Jinyan was stunned when he heard this. With his mother's temper, she would definitely do this. In the past few years since he came back, he has deeply understood it.
"You mean, someone did poison the mutton?"
Shen Chuwei: "This is my guess."
Xiao Jinyan: "Why did you and I eat mutton and we are fine? And how do you know the antidote?"
Uh!
Because she used the water from the spiritual spring to make tea last night, Xiao Jinyan can only say that Xiao Jinyan's luck is too good~
But then again, if they were poisoned at the time, the Seventh Prince would have nothing to do.
"Maybe it's because the poison was not evenly distributed. The Seventh Prince had bad luck and ate the roasted lamb with poison."
Brother had bad luck? Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered what Lu Zhaoyan said, that Shen Chuwei had the appearance of a lucky husband.
At that time, he sneered, but after experiencing two incidents, it seemed that what Lu Zhaoyan said was true.
"If someone really poisoned deliberately, then you were the target. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, so you don't have to be afraid."
"With Your Highness here, I'm not afraid." Shen Chuwei curved her eyebrows and blew rainbow farts.
This was the second time Xiao Jinyan heard her say this. It was full of trust in a person, which made him a little curious.
"Do you trust me so much?"
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously and continued to blow rainbow farts, "The person closest to me in the palace is Your Highness. Of course, I trust Your Highness to protect me, and I will also put Your Highness first."
It was the first time Xiao Jinyan heard someone say this to him, saying that he was the most important.
The scene that happened last night suddenly appeared in his mind. Shen Chuwei rushed to his side without even thinking.
This is not something that anyone can do.
"I will not let you down."
Xiao Jinyan will not make promises easily, but she will keep them.
Shen Chuwei also said, "I will not let your Highness down."
Xiao Jinyan's lips curled up with a barely perceptible smile, and even he himself did not notice that the haze of last night was dispelled by Shen Chuwei's words.
After Shen Chuwei went back, Xiao Jinyan asked people to investigate the poisoning of mutton, and anyone who had contact with mutton was arrested and interrogated.
In the evening, the guard Ling Feng strode in.
"Your Highness, we have found out that Qiuju of Lanyue Palace had contact with mutton."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes were as cold as frost: "Go to Lanyue Palace."
At this time, Lanyue Palace
Qiuju ran in quickly from outside, with a panic on her face: "My lady, your Highness has thoroughly investigated this matter, and I'm afraid it will soon find us."
Shen Mingzhu clutched her handkerchief tightly and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that bitch was so lucky that she could escape the poisoning."
The palace maid trotted in to inform: "My lady, your Highness is coming to Lanyue Palace with people."
Shen Mingzhu panicked when she heard this. She couldn't let your Highness know that it was her who did it, otherwise she would be finished.
She looked at Qiuju, and suddenly there was hope in her eyes.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." The shrill voice of Eunuch Liu came in from outside.
Shen Mingzhu saluted Xiao Jinyan with the people of Lanyue Palace.
"Your Highness, may you live in peace and happiness."
Xiao Jinyan strode to the throne and sat down, looking at Shen Liangyuan coldly, "Shen Liangyuan, why did you poison the mutton?"
Shen Mingzhu knelt on the ground with a plop, looking at Xiao Jinyan aggrievedly, "Your Highness, you have wronged me. I usually don't even want to step on an ant to death, let alone poison someone?"
Xiao Jinyan sneered: "When Eunuch Qian sent the mutton, you were the only one who touched the mutton, and you said it was not you who poisoned it?"
"Your Highness, if you don't believe me, ask Ask the people in my palace. I was just curious at that time. I would never dare to poison someone. "
Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste words with Shen Mingzhu, "Whether it is true or not, I will know by asking. Where is Qiuju?"
The maid ran in, her face pale, "My lady, it's not good. Qiuju, Qiuju committed suicide out of fear of crime."
"What? Committed suicide out of fear of crime? Shen Mingzhu blinked twice, tears streaming down her face, "How could Qiuju do such a thing?"
Xiao Jinyan frowned and looked at Lingfeng, "Go and have a look."
"Yes." Lingfeng took the order to check.
After a while, he came back with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Your Highness, Qiuju committed suicide out of fear of crime and left a suicide note. "Ling Feng presented the suicide note with both hands.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the suicide note and glanced at it. Qiuju clearly stated that she couldn't stand Shen Chuwei's arrogance and disregard for her master, so she came up with the idea of poisoning. She didn't expect that the matter would be exposed, and she could only die to apologize.
After reading the suicide note, he didn't believe that a little palace maid would poison someone without anyone's instructions.
He raised his head and looked at Shen Mingzhu, who was crying at this time.
"Your Highness, I really didn't know that Qiuju would have such a vicious mind. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped her." Shen Mingzhu raised her handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Fortunately, Qiuju was loyal, otherwise she would be finished.
Xiao Jinyan looked at her coldly. Now there was no evidence. Even if he knew that it was Shen Mingzhu who ordered it, he could not convict Shen Mingzhu.
"Qiu Ju is your personal maid. If she makes a mistake, you, as the master, are also to blame. You are punished to be confined to your house for one month and copy Buddhist scriptures until the full term."
Shen Mingzhu clutched her handkerchief tightly. It was confinement again. Since she entered the East Palace, she has almost spent her time under house arrest. If this goes on, when will she be able to sleep with the emperor and be honored by her son?
I have to copy Buddhist scriptures. I am not a monk. What Buddhist scriptures should I copy?
I was dissatisfied but could not show it. I could only kowtow to thank you.
"Your Highness, I obey your orders."
Xiao Jinyan threw away the suicide note, without even looking at Shen Mingzhu, and strode away.
Yixiang Palace
"Is what you said true? Shen Mingzhu is under house arrest again?"
"It's true, my lady. His Highness is very angry. Shen Liangyuan will not be able to win his favor during this period."
Xu Liangyuan has been depressed since her chance to sleep with him was taken away. Now she has heard that Shen Mingzhu has been demoted and under house arrest one after another. She is much more depressed.
"Shen Mingzhu is really stupid. She lost her wife and her army."
"That's right. Shen Fengyi is still in favor now. He is almost overshadowing Chang Liangdi." Caixia said.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Liangyuan's eyes. "Why didn't I see that Shen Chuwei was so scheming before? She easily took away my chance to sleep with him. I didn't even go to the reception banquet. What qualifications does she, a little Fengyi, have?"
"My lady, Shen Fengyi is a foxy girl who is best at pretending to be weak. His Highness will be bewitched by her."
"Let's go. Take your things and go to Xiyun Pavilion to take a look." Xu Liangyuan snorted and went out waving a handkerchief.
There is one more chapter, you can wait till morning to read it.
By the way, please give me a recommendation!
