Chapter 364 Same

Besides, there have been a lot of things happening recently. The poisoning of Old Madam Lin has not been determined yet, and Pei Huaijin's grievances have not been cleared. Zhao Ang should be able to escort the coffin of Concubine Chen to the capital soon. He is busy and really doesn't want to worry about these trivial matters. More importantly, he has two father-in-laws above him.

Even if Chen Wan didn't suffer any loss, if the emperor heard about it, he would inevitably dislike him again.

A certain gentleman was also forced into a helpless situation.

We must cut the Gordian knot.

Xie Jingyu prepared such a big surprise for her. Shen Wan was in a very good mood and her steps were so brisk that she didn't look like a pregnant woman.

When serving tea, Du Xiner secretly provoked Chen Wan, but she did not respond. On the surface, they were very harmonious and did not cause any major unpleasantness.

The old lady and the second lady were very happy to be able to marry the left prime minister.

Because Song Nanyue and Xie Jingze were driven out of the Jingbei Palace, Duke Song and Queen Song hated the prince and Xie Jingyu very much. Now that their second branch's children have become in-laws with the Left Prime Minister's children, with so many people helping them, it is only a matter of time before the second master is promoted and she and the second lady regain their imperial decrees.

The title of Prince Jingbei and the military power in the hands of the prince will eventually be in their pockets.

The old lady was in a good mood, smiling broadly, but then a maid stumbled in from outside, hurriedly saying, "Oh no! The third young master vomited blood and fainted!"

I was so happy, but when I heard these words, it was like a basin of ice water was poured over me from head to toe, and all the blood in my body froze.

The old lady stood up in shock, feeling dizzy and unable to speak. The second lady asked anxiously, "Why did he vomit blood and faint?!

The maid gasped, "It's exactly the same as when the Second Young Master was poisoned..."

Almost instantly.

The second wife's face turned extremely pale and she was on the verge of collapse.

The second wife hurried back to the South Courtyard and saw her son lying on the bed with a pale face. No matter how she called him, she couldn't wake him up. He looked exactly like Xie Jingze at the beginning.

Du Xiner was completely shocked. Last night, on their wedding night, the two of them had a very sweet time. They had just come back from serving tea, and they were being affectionate and loving, kissing each other passionately, when suddenly, Xie Jingxi's face changed, his body tilted to one side, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted immediately.

She wasn't frightened to death right away, but even now, her back was still cold.

Someone has been sent to call the imperial physician.

The imperial physician came hurriedly with a medicine box, and was a little confused when he saw that the person who needed to see Xie Jingxi was Xie Jingxi.

Yesterday he came to the Jingbei Palace to drink the wedding wine to thank the Third Young Master, but today he collapsed. Getting married is a happy event that can ward off bad luck, so how could he collapse?

The imperial physician hurriedly took Xie Jingxi's pulse. Before he finished, the Second Madam asked, "Did my son get the same poison as the Second Young Master last time?!"

The sound was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

The doctor didn't know how to respond, "Not exactly the same."

The old lady also came over. After hearing this, she didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean by not exactly the same?"

The imperial physician said, "The Third Young Master was also poisoned by a mixture of seven poisons, but the order of preparation was different, and the toxicity was also different. Thank you, Second Young Master, for your antidote. Not only will the Third Young Master not be able to cure the poison, it will even worsen it. No one can predict the consequences."

The Second Madam clenched her fists tightly beneath her sleeves. "The poison was caused by one person?"

The poison that Xie Jingze was poisoned with was most likely prepared by Zhao Yuanzheng, and it might be the same this time.

Dean Zhao is the head of the Imperial Hospital and their immediate superior. How dare he speak nonsense without any evidence?

Besides, Zhao Yuanzheng and Young Master Xie San had no grudges against each other, so he would not drug him. Even if the poison was prepared by Zhao Yuanzheng, it would not be him who gave it.

The imperial physician said, "This poison is not difficult to prepare. I cannot say for sure whether it was made by one person."

Is this still necessary to assert?

It’s obviously so!

The young master of the mansion was poisoned in the same way, and the poison was a mixture of seven kinds of poison. It must have been the work of one person.

The second wife was so angry that she felt dizzy and her vision was getting dark, but she had no idea what to do.

If there was any way, Concubine Wen and Madam Wen would not tell the truth of that year, and Xie Jingze would not have to move out of the Jingbei Palace.

Besides, Shen Wan was in a good mood. After returning, he ate a piece of cake and had nothing to do, so he flipped through a book to pass the time.

Just when he was halfway through reading, he heard a commotion outside, and Xie Zhirou's angry voice came over, "My third brother has no grudge against you, why did you poison him?!"

"Hand over the antidote!"

Xie Zhirou tried to break into the house but was stopped by the maid.

Shen Wan put the book upside down on the small table and stood up to go out.

Seeing Chen Wan, Xie Zhirou's eyes were like poison. Chen Wan asked, "Second Miss, did you see me and my husband poisoning you?"

The light tone made Xie Zhirou so angry that she lost her mind.

Xie Zhirou said, "Don't try to deny it, it was you who poisoned me!"

Chen Wan laughed, "They say to catch an adulterer, catch both, to catch a thief, take the stolen goods. Without any evidence, you've concluded that we poisoned the Third Young Master. You've come to my house because I have a good temper, otherwise I would have had you kicked out."

The deterrent power of these words is extremely strong.

After all, Chen Wan's record was there. Even the concubine of Prince Cheng who had won the Royal Jade Butterfly was driven out of the house by the maid with a broom. Queen Song couldn't even support the concubine of Prince Cheng, let alone her, Xie Zhirou.

Xie Zhirou knew that Shen Wan could do what she said, and said angrily, “Give me the antidote!”

Chen Wan played with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said nonchalantly, "The second young master was poisoned, and they suspected us, so they searched Zhaolanxuan. Now that the third young master is poisoned, they didn't search the house, but simply came directly to ask for the antidote."

"If you have evidence, Miss, why not go directly to the Ministry of Justice and sue us? Wouldn't it be better to charge us with poisoning your third brother?"

"I'll count to three. If you don't leave, don't blame me for sending someone to chase you away with a broom."

Xie Jingyu was decisive in his work, so Shen Wan stopped dragging his feet.

There's no need to waste words with these people.

It was just that she used Shen Ti to establish her authority, and the effect was really good. Before she could even count, Xie Zhirou's maid dragged Xie Zhirou away.

With such fighting ability, they dared to come to Zhao Lanxuan, knowing full well that they were the ones who poisoned Xie Jingxi with the purpose of sending Xie Jingxi out of the house. They thought that they could get the antidote by just making a few noises. Did they poison him for fun?

After Xie Zhirou left cursing, Shen Wan went back to reading. Soon Qiu'er came in and said, "Princess Consort, the old lady has sent someone to invite Zhao Yuanzheng..."

It is right to ask Zhao Yuanzheng, but without the order from the prince and Xie Jingyu, Zhao Yuanzheng will not detoxify Xie Jingxi, even if a knife is placed on his neck.

Shen Wan guessed it right. On the way to Jingbei Palace, a knife was placed on Zhao Yuanzheng's neck.

Feeling the icy chill from the blade, Zhao Yuanzheng felt miserable.

Why does this kind of head-losing incident always happen to him?

Sooner or later, his head will be destroyed by the Prince of Jingbei.
