The guards who went in to search came out, carrying sanitary napkins wrapped in cloth.
"Your Highness, we've found it, this is it."
Nangong Jingyao took the sanitary napkin from the soldier, looked at it, and then threw it forcefully at Su Luo's feet.
"Su Luo, what else do you have to say? The Crown Princess died from postpartum hemorrhage because she used this thing you made."
Xie Wanwan picked up the things on the ground. She had personally used this sanitary napkin and found that it did not contain any drugs or harmful substances.
It is absolutely impossible for someone to bleed to death; this second prince is completely framing them.
"You're talking nonsense! Our stuff doesn't work like that at all."
Nangong Jingyao gritted his teeth and said to his men behind him, "Tie up Princess Yu and Xie Wanwan for me."
He still had some reservations about Su Luo, but Xie Wanwan was not someone he could easily bully.
"Let's see who dares."
Su Luo shielded Xie Wanwan and took a step back.
"Second Prince, find out why the Princess Consort died. I don't even know how she died, yet you're trying to shift the blame. What's the rush?"
Nangong Jingyao was naturally anxious. Why did Xing Sisi have to die at this crucial moment?
He had just proposed to Ye Qianning, and Ye Beihan had agreed. But Xing Sisi was dead, and Minister Xing now held the construction rights to all the reservoirs in Nanning. He couldn't afford to lose his father-in-law.
Anyway, Prince Yu isn't on his side, and Su Luo is helping Nangong Qing in court. If Su Luo doesn't take the blame, then who will?
"I sent the imperial physician to investigate, and it was because the princess consort used this product from Wanxiu Pavilion that she suffered a hemorrhage. No matter what you say today, you will not escape your guilt."
"Is that so? Without any evidence, you, as the second prince, cannot possibly coerce court officials."
Nangong Jingyao couldn't care less about anything else; all he knew was that he couldn't lose Minister Xing right now.
"take away!"
"I'd like to see who dares to touch my queen."
Nangong Chiyu's voice came from outside. The Chiyu Army had subdued all the men brought by the Second Prince, and it was clear that Nangong Jingyao had no power to resist.
When Nangong Jingyao saw Nangong Chiyu approaching, his eyes showed no anger, as if he had known all along that Nangong Chiyu would come.
"Prince Yu, you've finally arrived. Su Luo is the prime suspect in the death of the Crown Princess. I'm taking her in for questioning. You have no right to interfere, Prince Yu."
"I will intervene!"
"Furthermore, how dare you address the Princess by her given name? Do you think I don't exist?"
Nangong Chiyu received a report from his subordinates that the Second Prince, Nangong Jingyao, had brought a large number of soldiers to besiege Su Luo. Although he did not know what had happened, he would never allow Su Luo to be harmed.
Nangong Jingyao was intimidated by the aura emanating from Nangong Chiyu. With Xing Sisi's death, his mansion underwent a complete upheaval.
This series of events could directly influence his ascension to the throne.
"Your Highness, I have evidence..."
Nangong Chiyu pulled Su Luo aside to sit down, emphatically saying, "He's here."
"If there is evidence, we should proceed with a normal joint trial by the three judicial authorities. If you arrest people privately, Second Prince, don't blame me for following suit."
Nangong Jingyao felt a lump in his throat. He had achieved his goal for tonight. As long as he pinned Sisi's death on Su Luo, he could maintain his relationship with the Xing family.
"Alright! We'll see."
Seeing how easily Nangong Jingyao withdrew all the guards, Su Luo felt that something was very wrong with what happened tonight.
But she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Luo Luo, Master Xie, are you alright?"
Su Luo and Xie Wanwan were both unharmed. Nangong Jingyao made a big move, but he didn't dare to actually do anything to them.
"We're fine, we just didn't expect the Second Prince's wife to leave so suddenly."
Xie Wanwan was also puzzled. The person was fine just two days ago, and today she even saw the Second Prince with Ye Qianning.
How could the Second Prince's Consort suddenly disappear?
"By the way, were there any unusual movements in your defenses in the capital tonight?"
Nangong Chiyu's sudden appearance made Su Luo feel uneasy.
"No, Luo Luo, do you mean that someone deliberately distracted me tonight and then did something?"
When Nangong Chiyu received the news of Su Luo's accident, he rushed over. When he arrived, everything seemed normal.
"I'm just worried! If nothing happens, that would be for the best!"
"Don't overthink it, I'll take you back."
Since Ah Xu hadn't come to pick up Xie Wanwan yet, Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu decided to take her home first.
On her way back to the Prince Yu's residence, Su Luo encountered three people.
Ah Xu and Chi Yi carried an unconscious person out of the darkness.
"Your Highness, Vice Minister of Agriculture, something terrible has happened! The Third Prince has been assassinated and is dying."
Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu got off the carriage and approached with lanterns. Only then did Su Luo realize that the person being supported was Nangong Qing.
Covered in blood, with an arrow still lodged in his chest, he was on the verge of death. Su Luo's worst fears had come true.
"Ah Xu, quick, take Nangong Qing to Ji'an Hall."
These streets are closest to Ji'an Hall. If we take Nangong Qing there, Su Luo can save him as quickly as possible.
"good!"
Chi Yi nervously reported what had just happened to Nangong Chiyu.
"Your Highness, just now when the Third Prince came out of the Ministry of Works, someone was following him."
They immediately attacked the Third Prince with deadly force. The guards and Ah Xu held him off for a while, but the subordinates discovered that there were two groups of people who wanted to kill the Third Prince.
Our men caught one of the murderers; the rest either escaped or committed suicide by biting poison.
Nangong Chiyu rushed to the location where Nangong Qing was assassinated.
First, there was Nangong Jingyao dealing with Su Luo, and then there was the assassination attempt on Nangong Qing. If these events were combined, the one who would benefit the most would be Nangong Jingyao.
"Chi Yi, mobilize our men and expand the search area. We must capture the escapees."
"Your Highness, you have already given the order. Rest assured."
With so many things happening tonight, Nangong Chiyu knew that the capital city was about to undergo a major upheaval.
Su Luo arrived at Ji'an Hall and took Nangong Qing into the operating room.
She asked Ah Xu to go to the Du residence and call Du Xiuyuan over as well.
Given Nangong Qing's condition, she cannot prepare and brew the medicine by herself; she needs someone to help her, otherwise her life will be in danger.
"Nangong Qing, whatever you do, don't fall asleep!"
As she spoke, Su Luo gave him an anesthetic injection. His wound was too severe, and the silver needles could not control the pain at all.
Nangong Qing felt his vision blurring, and he had no strength left in his body.
All he could hear was Su Luo telling him not to sleep.
Su Luo removed the arrows from his body; fortunately, they weren't deeply embedded and hadn't pierced his heart.
She had to stitch up his many wounds.
Given Nangong Qing's injuries, she would probably have to use all her medical skills to save him.
It's a miracle he's still alive after such severe injuries.
