When Shen Wan was experiencing a miscarriage, in addition to the Yun family visiting her, Princess Yanping and Princess Qinghe, as well as the Right Prime Minister's wife and her daughter Cheng Yao, also came to see Shen Wan. Shen Wan was not surprised by these people's visits, but she was surprised when Princess Cheng brought Princess Yong'an to see her the next day.

When the maid came to report, Shen Wan was tired from reading. Seeing that the weather was nice, she wanted to go for a walk in the courtyard. Just as she got off the small couch, Dong'er walked to the outside of the beaded curtain and said, "Your Highness, Princess Cheng has brought Princess Yong'an to see you."

Shen Wan, “…???”

Why would Princess Cheng come to see her, and even bring Princess Yong'an with her?

Xie Jingyan's relationship with Prince Cheng was so-so, and she and Princess Yong'an weren't even acquaintances.

However, since someone had come to visit her, Shen Wan quickly told Yin Shuang to go out and greet them, while she lay down on the bed. Hai Tang asked, "Would the Princess like to apply powder?"

Shen Wan said, "Give it to me quickly."

Haitang quickly handed it to Shen Wan, who then lightly slapped her face in the small bronze mirror. After all, she had been resting for two days due to the miscarriage, and looking haggard and weak would tarnish Doctor Tao's reputation. Others might not know Doctor Tao's skills, but the Prince Cheng's mansion knew them all too well.

After stuffing the bronze mirror and face powder under the quilt, Shen Wan leaned against the large pillow and had just settled down when Yin Shuang led Princess Cheng and Princess Yong'an in.

Shen Wan looked at Princess Cheng and said, "I didn't expect Princess Cheng to come to visit me..."

After saying that, he told Yinshuang and Haitang to bring chairs for Princess Cheng and Princess Yong'an to sit on.

Princess Cheng sat down and said, "Princess Ling looks much better than I expected."

Shen Wan said, "Dr. Tao's medical skills are superb. If it weren't for my own weakness and inability to dispel my depression, I would have been better after two doses of medicine."

When mentioning Doctor Tao, Princess Cheng's face was full of gratitude. If Doctor Tao hadn't arrived in time that night, her son, Crown Prince Xie Jingyun, might not have made it through.

Princess Cheng said, "Yun'er's illness has troubled Doctor Tao several times, and I should have come to thank him. Yesterday, when I went to the palace, the Empress Dowager learned that you were so upset that you were having a miscarriage, so she asked me to come and see you on her behalf."

Shen Wan was already surprised that Princess Cheng came to visit her, but she never expected that it was the Empress Dowager who sent Princess Cheng.

The Empress Dowager has always disliked Xie Jingyan, but it seems that Xie Jingyan's attitude towards him has changed after he helped Princess Huyang find her biological child and saved the Prince of Yanping's heir, preventing the Empress Dowager from killing an innocent person by mistake.

Shen Wan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have worried the Empress Dowager. I will go to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager once my pregnancy is stable."

Princess Cheng smiled, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wan asked, "Does Princess Cheng have something to ask me?"

Princess Cheng nodded and said, "I can't find the benefactor of my Cheng Prince's Mansion. Does Princess Ling know?"

Shen Wan looked at her blankly before Princess Cheng said, "The Empress Dowager sent Yun'er to Huguo Temple to recuperate because the Emperor said that the Imperial Observatory had calculated that moving Yun'er to Huguo Temple would be beneficial to his condition. Yun'er's condition has greatly improved, so the Empress Dowager wanted to reward the Imperial Observatory. However, when she sent someone to inquire at the Imperial Observatory, the Emperor had not summoned anyone from the Imperial Observatory. Afterwards, when the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor, he said that it was a wandering Taoist priest outside the palace who had calculated it. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not believe him, so he lied and said it was the Imperial Observatory."

Wandering Taoist priests cannot enter the palace; if they were to actually do, it would surely become a hot topic of discussion.

The Empress Dowager knew that Prince Ling had entered the palace that day. Because Prince Ling did not enter the palace often, each time he did, it attracted a lot of attention.

In addition, Prince Ling has indeed been quite flamboyant in recent months, with the earthquake in Meizhou, the blueprints for the Xizhou Dam, and even helping to uncover the theft of Princess Huyang's son. The Empress Dowager wondered if this matter was also related to Prince Ling.

After all, everyone in the court knew that the Yun family had a master who could predict things that had never happened.

Maybe it was this expert who calculated it.

Shen Wan glanced at Princess Cheng, then at Princess Yong'an, her gaze falling on the maids behind them. Princess Cheng then dismissed the maids.

After the maid left, Shen Wan said, "Since Princess Cheng asked, I will tell you the truth. There was no expert or divination involved. It's just that when Doctor Tao came to the manor to treat the young master that night, he discovered that the young master's weakness over the years was not only due to his birth but also because he had been continuously poisoned, which had damaged his internal organs..."

Almost instantly, Princess Cheng and Princess Yong'an turned deathly pale.

Even Shen Wan found this unbelievable, let alone Princess Cheng and Princess Yong'an.

Shen Wan continued, "Because that night, it wasn't just Doctor Tao, but also several imperial physicians. The imperial physicians didn't mention that the prince had been poisoned, so Doctor Tao didn't dare to either. Afterwards, he told the prince about it. The prince was genuinely concerned about the prince and was afraid that telling Prince Cheng and you would alert the enemy. After all, it would take someone you trust to poison the prince for so many years. So he told the emperor about it and used the Imperial Observatory as an excuse to send the prince to Huguo Temple. As long as no one poisons the prince again, even if he doesn't recover completely like a normal person, he can at least occasionally go out for a stroll."

"As you can see, the Crown Prince went to Huguo Temple and ate and lived with the people there, which is actually better than staying in the Prince Cheng's residence."

Princess Cheng burst into tears, her voice trembling, "Yun'er was poisoned for many years right under the noses of the Prince and me in the Cheng Prince's residence..."

By the end, he couldn't even speak clearly anymore.

Princess Cheng was puzzled. Her eyes were red as she said, "Yun'er never makes enemies. Who would want to harm him? If he's implicated by me and the Prince, why didn't they just poison us directly?"

She would rather she were the one who had been poisoned all these years.

This is also something Shen Wan wants to figure out.

If the person who poisoned the king and queen hated them so much that they used the crown prince as a blunt knife to cut their flesh, then their patience for revenge was far too great.

Shen Wan said, "I'm telling you and Princess Yong'an so that you're aware that the one who harmed the Crown Prince is someone you trust. To ensure the Crown Prince's safety, you'd better not even tell Prince Cheng and the Empress Dowager. If we alert them and cause the plan to fail, the Emperor will be angry that I ruined things. But the Emperor's anger is secondary; if we can't catch the poisoner, even if the Crown Prince recovers, he will eventually be harmed by someone."

To avoid alerting the enemy, it's best not to tell anyone.

But her intuition told Shen Wan that she should tell Princess Cheng and Princess Yong'an.

Shen Wan followed her intuition and did just that, hoping she was right.

The Emperor kept it a secret from the Empress Dowager and from Prince Cheng. Only Princess Ling, being soft-hearted, told her.

Princess Cheng nodded repeatedly, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "I was wondering why he wouldn't eat a single bite of the pastries I brought to Huguo Temple to see Yoon-ah recently..."

Shen Wan said, "Those pastries were all sent to the Ling Prince's residence for Doctor Tao to test for poison."

"Are the pastries poisonous?" Princess Cheng asked.

As soon as she asked the question, Princess Cheng realized that she had asked a pointless question. The poison had already been sent for testing, and if there was a problem, even if Prince Ling didn't tell them, he would report it to the Emperor.

Shen Wan shook her head, "It hasn't been found out yet, but Your Highness believes that the person who has been secretly poisoning the young master for so many years will not give up so easily."
