Office worker Chen Jingxi transmigrated to become the timid and weak Princess Consort Su, who had been a living widow for three years.
A living widow, a princess consort? Isn't this the i...
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of displeasure and confusion flashing in them. He sat up and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you so flustered?"
The eunuch hurried in, knelt on the ground, and reported in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the jailer came to report that... Princess Su has been poisoned."
"What did you say?" The emperor's voice instantly rose several degrees.
The eunuch knew that the emperor was angry, and quickly explained the whole story.
In short, Concubine Shu sent people to the prison to humiliate Princess Su, and after the palace maids left, Princess Su was poisoned.
"Idiot!" The emperor couldn't help but curse. He suppressed his anger and asked, "How is Princess Su now?"
"Fortunately, the jailer discovered it early and asked Doctor Sun to come over. He said that he was still breathing, but now unconscious." When the eunuch said this, he lowered his head very low, fearing that the emperor would vent his anger on him.
Something that is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, clenched his fists, and immediately ordered: "Go and call Concubine Shu to me!"
At the same time, he instructed the eunuch beside him, "Go tell Imperial Physician Sun that he must cure Princess Su at all costs! If anything happens to her, I will hold him responsible!"
He got the person from the Queen and took away Wen Yuzhi's child, but he didn't mean to kill her.
The purpose was to control Chen Jingxi, and then take advantage of the situation to force her to use the golden medal of immunity from death. Now all this has been messed up by the idiot Concubine Shu.
The eunuch responded quickly and left the bedroom.
Watching the emperor leave angrily, Concubine Qin felt particularly happy. Unexpectedly, she had an unexpected gain. Concubine Shu was completely ruined this time.
Concubine Qin stroked her cheek gently. This time, not only did Wen Yuzhi lose her child, but the emperor and the queen also had a complete rift. No one could stand in her son's way anymore.
She smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Inside the prison, dim candlelight flickered. Doctor Sun, holding the medicine bottle, asked again, "Princess, do you really want to take this medicine?"
Chen Jingxi nodded slightly. If she refused to obey, she would not be able to deceive the emperor, that old man. Moreover, if she revealed her flaws, she would be charged with deceiving the emperor.
She had to take the medicine just in case. As for the side effects of the medicine, they were not as bad as the resentment she felt from working a day in modern times.
"Doctor Sun, don't worry, I know what to do."
Doctor Sun sighed helplessly and finally handed the medicine bottle to Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi took the bottle and swallowed the medicine without hesitation. She closed her eyes and felt the effect of the medicine gradually spread through her body.
After summoning Concubine Shu, the emperor was filled with doubts. Concubine Shu repeatedly assured him that she had only sent someone to the prison to serve Princess Su.
No one was allowed to humiliate Princess Su, and it was even less likely that anyone was poisoned.
Concubine Shu choked up and said, "Your Majesty, please help me. Princess Su not only refused my kindness, but she also colluded with the jailer to beat up the people I sent."
"She also threatened me, saying that I would have a miserable life."
The emperor's face darkened the more he listened. What a Su Wang Consort! Even the palace jailers were bribed by her. And what about Doctor Sun? Could he be Su Wang's man?
Thinking of this, the emperor's heart skipped a beat and he immediately sent three imperial doctors to the prison.
Looking at the imperial physician who appeared in the prison, Xiong Da tried hard to suppress his inner panic. As expected, just as Princess Su had expected, the emperor suspected that he was a jailer.
Xiong Da stood at the prison door, his hand holding the key trembling slightly, and his other hand quickly held the trembling hand tightly. Fortunately, his body blocked it, otherwise he would have been exposed.
He was now in a difficult situation, with only one way to go. He prayed silently, hoping that these doctors would not find any flaws.
"Several doctors, please."
The imperial doctors walked into the cell and began to carefully examine Chen Jingxi's condition.
Xiong Da stood aside, his heart beating like a drum, his eyes closely following the doctors' movements, afraid of missing any details.
Finally, the imperial doctors completed the examination and exchanged glances with each other.
"It is true that Princess Su was poisoned, but the poison has been resolved and she is fine for now."
Xiong Da took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Chen Jingxi had already expected the emperor to do this. Although she was in a coma and unable to speak, she was conscious and could hear the voices around her.
After the examination, the imperial physicians hurried back to the palace to report their findings to the emperor. They unanimously confirmed that Princess Su was poisoned.
When the emperor heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.
At this moment, Concubine Shu was slumped in the center of the hall, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, please believe me. I didn't have anyone poison me. I was wrongly accused!"
"Idiot! You still have the nerve to cry out for justice! Come, imprison Concubine Shu in Yongning Palace. She is not allowed to leave without my order."
The cries of Concubine Shu gradually faded away, and the emperor reached out and rubbed his nose.
Jiang Hai, who was standing by, stepped forward to offer comfort: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health."
The emperor only felt a wave of pain in his head. Not only did all his plans fail, but he also had to clean up this shitty dish.
Jiang Hai cautiously reminded, "Your Majesty, the Princess Su has been poisoned, and it's not appropriate for her to remain in prison."
The emperor frowned. How could he not know that the man was unconscious now? If someone was so blind as to poison him to death again, and that rebellious son quit, then it would be all over for him.
But he was unwilling to let the man go like this. He had worked so hard, gained nothing, and got himself into trouble. He couldn't swallow this anger no matter what.
After much struggle and weighing, the emperor finally spoke: "Let the imperial guards send the people back."
Prince Su's Mansion.
When Wu Kuan saw Chen Jingxi being carried back, he knelt down and cried without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, everyone in the palace knelt down and cried. For a moment, the palace was filled with wailing.
Half of the capital was shocked, and people from various prefectures came to Prince Su's Mansion to investigate the situation.
The imperial guards were obviously caught off guard by what happened in Prince Su's Mansion. The Princess of Su was not dead, so why was she crying?
The commander of the imperial guards stood aside, his brows furrowed. "Princess Su is fine. Stop crying and take her back quickly."
The crowd seemed not to have heard the words of the commander of the imperial guards, and continued to howl in agony.
Wu Kuan cried out with tears and snot: "My princess was still alive and kicking when she entered the palace, and now she has been carried back. I feel guilty for the prince's entrustment, and I can only die to apologize."
After saying that, he rushed towards the pillar, but fortunately he was stopped by a servant who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
"Just let me die. I'm so sorry to the prince and the princess!"
Imperial Guards: “…” Why are you crying like a woman?
"Princess, how did you become like this?"
Wu Kuan suddenly remembered something. He raised his head and said, "Yes, write a letter to the prince quickly. The princess is about to be killed."
The commander of the imperial guards hastily dissuaded him: "We must not let Prince Su know. If Prince Su becomes uneasy and the enemy takes advantage of this, you will all be sinners."
However, the people in Prince Su's mansion didn't listen to what he said. They shouted noisily: "We want the prince to know what happened to the princess and ask for justice for her."
