Chapter 294 Seeking Death
Glass Courtyard.
The princess had nothing to do, so she tended to the flowers and plants.
As she was wiping the dust off the flowers, a little maid came running over and said, "Princess, this is bad! Someone put a potion that will kill the Crown Prince's wife in her bracelet..."
Swish.
The princess's good mood instantly vanished.
Mother Zhao asked anxiously, "Is the little prince in the princess's belly okay?"
The little maid shook her head, "It's nothing, I just happened to find it."
The princess was so angry that she threw the dust-wiping cloth in her hand into the tray.
Yesterday, he used a jade hairpin to frame the Crown Princess, and today he put drugs in her bracelet. Is this a never-ending plot?!
Pregnancy is hard and worrying in itself, and there are a lot of people who don't want Shen Wan to give birth to the baby.
The princess was very angry.
The carriage slowly stopped. After Shanhu got off the carriage, she helped Chen down.
As soon as Shen Wan passed the second gate, the princess came over quickly and asked, "Have you seen a doctor? Are you sure everything is fine?"
Shen Wan said, "My mother forgot. Yesterday in the palace, Zhao Yuan was taking my pulse. I was fine..."
Just because everything was fine yesterday doesn’t mean it’s fine today.
The princess said distressedly, "How could the bracelet be drugged?"
The princess suspected that someone from the palace searched Zhao Lanxuan yesterday and took the opportunity to tamper with the bracelet.
Coral presented the bracelet to the princess for her review.
The princess recognized it at a glance as the one the old lady had given to Shen Wan, and a layer of frost suddenly covered her face.
The princess grabbed the bracelet and turned to look for the old lady. The maid ran over anxiously, "Princess, this is bad. The old lady has fainted..."
The victim hasn't fainted yet, but she, the perpetrator, fainted faster than anyone else.
Could it be that when you harm others, you are not prepared for the consequences to be exposed?
The princess was originally going to question the old lady, but now that the old lady fainted, she had no choice but to go.
Shen Wan followed the princess to Wing Chun Court.
The old lady fainted, and everyone rushed over after receiving the news. The second lady came in and said to Shen Wan, "What happened to the antidote yesterday? The Crown Prince's Concubine knew it very well. Today, you used the gold bracelet to poison her to ruin the old lady's reputation. What are your intentions?!"
These people can plot against her, but she cannot fight back, otherwise they will have bad intentions.
Shen Wan said, “The bracelet was given to me by the old lady!”
The Second Madam said, "The old lady must have ordered the sterilization potion. How did the Crown Prince's wife get pregnant after wearing it for so long?!"
Chen Wan looked at the Second Madam and said, "The old lady asked me to wear it every day, and I dared not disobey her. However, I have no fewer than a hundred bracelets, and I don't want to wear the bracelet the old lady gave me every day. I only wear it for a while when I pay my respects, and then take it off when I go back."
"If I really wear it every day, how can I get pregnant?!"
She was not murdered, but it was an indisputable fact that the old lady and the others had murdered her. The anger on Shen Wan's face was not pretended, she was really angry.
The old ladies and the others didn't know that the prince had sent their own son and grandson back. They thought that Xie Jingyu was their son and grandson. Xie Jingyu wanted to marry her, and they couldn't stop him. However, they looked down on her and did not allow her to give birth to Xie Jingyu's child. They were extremely vicious and kept saying that she had ulterior motives.
If she had half of their "kindness", the grass on their graves would be swaying in the wind.
The Third Lady asked, "Is there a misunderstanding? The old lady's bracelet was given to her by the old prince. How could it be hiding pills?"
The Second Madam glanced at the bracelet and said, "Of course there is no real bracelet! Using a fake bracelet to ruin the old lady's reputation, the real one can't be fake, and the fake one can't be real either!"
No wonder they dared to drug her. It turned out that the bracelet they gave her from the beginning was a fake one. Even if it was exposed, they couldn't do anything to them. Instead, they would be slandered for deliberately ruining the old lady's reputation.
What a good plan.
A doctor was called in soon. After taking the old lady's pulse, he gave her acupuncture to wake her up.
The old lady woke up and, regardless of the presence of the doctor, said, "Why bother saving me? I was framed yesterday and wronged again today. Just let me die!"
The old lady was trying to commit suicide, and even Mother Wu couldn't stop her.
The maids stepped forward to stop the old lady and bumped into Shen Wan's arm. The princess protected Shen Wan and said, "It's so messy here, you should go back first."
This is Wing Chun Temple. If anyone deliberately bumps into Chen Wan, there will be no place to regret.
The old lady over there pulled out the golden hairpin from the second lady's head and pressed it against her neck, "If you don't explain this to me, I'll die in front of you!"
The old lady exerted force with her hand, and the golden hairpin pierced the skin, and blood flowed out.
The poor doctor was in a dilemma whether to leave or not.
Family disgrace should not be made public. Can't you wait until he leaves before making a fuss?
What should he do?
The princess didn't know what to do. The gold bracelet was fake. If the old lady really wanted to commit suicide, it would be Shen Wan's fault.
Shen Wan hadn't expected things to turn out like this, and was at a loss for a moment. Xie Jingyu walked in from outside, "Is the old lady really going to give you an explanation?"
The Second Madam's expression was unfriendly. "How can I let you wrong me so easily?!"
Xie Jingyu chuckled, "Since you insist on an explanation, I'll give it to you!"
"Chen Ping."
Xie Jingyu shouted and Chen Ping came in.
Xie Jingyu walked to Shen Wan, took the gold bracelet from the princess, and threw it to him, "Go check it out."
"Take the people from Dali Temple with you."
Chen Ping took the gold bracelet and turned away.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Isn't this difficult to check?"
Although the gold bracelet was finely crafted, there were many shops in Kyoto that could make such gold bracelets. It would be difficult to question each of them one by one, and no one would admit it.
Xie Jingyu said, "You didn't look closely. There's a gold shop mark engraved inside the gold bracelet. You'll know it if you check it."
The second wife's face froze.
The old lady didn't try to commit suicide anymore.
Chen Wan really didn't look closely at the gold bracelet. If there really was a mark, to put it seriously, the gold shop would be aiding and abetting the evil and murdering the descendants of the Jingbei Palace. Even if the gold shop had some courage, it would not dare to deny it.
In just half an hour, the matter was fully investigated. A servant came in and said, "The gold bracelet has the mark of Zhao's Gold Shop. The Dali Temple surrounded the gold shop. The owner of Zhao's Gold Shop admitted that someone took an identical gold bracelet and asked their shop to make an identical one..."
Xie Jingyu asked, "When did it happen?"
The servant replied, "It happened half a month before the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess..."
Xie Jingyu glanced at the old lady and said, "I'm curious, how did Wan'er get the gold bracelet from the old lady before she even got married, and then forge an identical one?"
The old lady's face looked as ugly as if she had swallowed a fly.
There was a knife in her eyes as she looked at the Second Madam.
Something that is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
There was a mark left in the gold bracelet. How stupid!
The servant continued, "The shop assistant didn't know who made the gold bracelet, but he still remembered the maid's appearance. Chen Ping brought the Dali Temple's Shaoqing and the young servant into the mansion..."
The second wife clutched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand in panic.
Xie Jingyu said, "Bring them to Yongchunyuan to identify the maids."
