Chapter 310 Sting
After Xie Jingyu kicked the hornet's nest away, he leaped up and hid far away with Chen Wan.
Before Shen Wanren landed on the ground, he heard a scream:
“Help!”
It was Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue who were shouting for help.
After Chen Wan landed, he looked in the direction where the cry for help came from, and saw Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue chasing away hornets, rolling on the ground because of the stings.
That direction was exactly the direction where Xie Jingyu kicked the hornet's nest away.
Shen Wan knew that the wasp falling to the ground and stinging her and Wei Mingzhu was not an accident.
Knowing that she was cautious and would not run around casually after entering the palace, they used Wei Mingzhu to lure her over. Xie Zhihuan pushed the maid to delay time so that someone could take action and knock down the hornet's nest.
These people, they won't stop until they take her life, right?!
Seeing Princess Shouzhen scream, Shen Wan felt extremely relieved.
But Shen Wan was taken away, and Wei Mingzhu was still there. Shen Wan said, "Miss Wei Si is still over there..."
Xie Jingyu said, "Prince Yuzhang will save her."
Shen Wan came to the Imperial Garden, while Xie Jingyu went to find Prince Yuzhang and the others.
Halfway through the journey, a eunuch came over and said that the emperor was looking for him.
Xie Jingyu frowned at that moment, "Are you only looking for me?"
The eunuch nodded, "The emperor only wants you, the prince, to go."
This is impossible.
The emperor may not see him, but he will not see Chen Wan.
Xie Jingyu knew something was wrong when he heard it, and grabbed his father-in-law's neck, "Who asked you to deliver the message?"
The eunuch turned pale with fear. "Slave, slave, I don't know either. It was a eunuch who suddenly felt unwell and asked me to pass on a message for him..."
Xie Jingyu left his father-in-law behind and rushed to the imperial garden.
It happened that Prince Yuzhang saw him strangling his father-in-law's neck. Worried that something might happen, he came over.
With the martial arts skills of Prince Yuzhang, saving Miss Wei Si is no problem.
Xie Jingyu turned around and frowned.
Miss Wei Si was still there, and so was Prince Yuzhang, guarding Wei Mingzhu and chopping hornets with a dagger.
Kill them one by one.
Come two and kill a pair.
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Did you become stupid after being stung by a wasp? Don’t you know to take the person away?
This is what Xie Jingyu saw. When Shen Wan turned around, he saw——
Wei Mingzhu was flying in the air.
Crash.
Fall into the lotus pond.
The water splashed high.
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Then Wei Mingzhu was struggling in the lotus pond, calling for help.
The corners of Shen Wan's mouth and eyes twitched.
She looked at Xie Jingyu. It was agreed that Prince Yuzhang would save Wei Mingzhu. Is this how he saved her?
Xie Jingyu had nothing to say.
However, the water in the lotus pond is not deep enough to drown people, but hiding in the water will prevent the wasps from stinging her.
Over there, Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue were rolling on the ground in pain from being stung. The palace maids brought cloaks to protect them. The noise here was quite loud, and those ladies from wealthy families were driven over by curiosity. By the time they found out that it was hornets causing trouble, it was too late to leave.
Wasps are flying everywhere and stinging people everywhere.
The entire imperial garden was in chaos.
Last time, the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet was at least halfway through, but today’s blessing banquet ended before it even began.
At the pavilion.
Queen Song and Concubine Zhao were talking to those noble ladies.
Queen Song was all smiles.
Concubine Zhao looked absent-minded.
She held the palace banquet under the pretext of praying for the Empress Dowager's blessing for her daughter Princess Xuanning's marriage. Her purpose was to promote the marriage between Princess Xuanning and the second young master of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. But by this time, the second young master of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion had not yet entered the palace. Seeing the smile on Queen Song's face, Concubine Zhao became more and more uneasy.
Although she successfully persuaded the emperor to hold a palace banquet to pray for the empress dowager, she also knew that her plan could not be hidden from Queen Song, who would definitely stop it.
As a result, Queen Song did not persuade the emperor to give up the idea of holding a palace banquet, and she took the palace banquet seriously. However, now, the second young master of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion did not enter the palace.
Queen Song must have been behind this!
Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't question them in front of all the noble ladies, so she could only endure it.
Seeing Concubine Zhao's expression of intolerance, Empress Song's mood became even better. She picked up the teacup and gently fiddled with it. A noble lady over there asked, "Did you hear any noise?"
The wife of the Duke of Wei said, "It seems like someone is calling for help..."
Queen Song smiled and said, "Ladies, don't worry, nothing will happen in the palace..."
Before he could finish his words, a young eunuch rushed in and said hurriedly, "Oh no! A hornet's nest has fallen in the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden. The hornets are stinging everyone they see. Princess Shouzhen and the Second Young Mistress of the Jingbei Palace have been stung badly!"
Queen Song's face changed drastically.
The wife of Duke Song and Concubine Wen stood up hurriedly and followed Queen Song out of the pavilion.
Hornets were running around in the imperial garden, and the ladies of noble families suffered. Even these noble ladies were not spared.
Queen Song was stung and didn't dare to get close.
The imperial garden was in turmoil for half an hour, and it was only when the guards arrived that the hornet disaster was quelled.
The ones who suffered the most from being stung were Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue.
How miserable is it?
The two were stung so much that their eyes, cheeks and mouths were swollen. If it weren't for the clothes they were wearing, Queen Song and the wife of Duke Song would not have recognized that they were their daughters.
Queen Song was already heartbroken because her daughter was stung badly. Then she saw the person who should have been stung to death walking towards them without any harm.
Really, Queen Song felt a black screen before her eyes and almost fainted from anger.
Didn't the wasp sting the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingbei?!
How come she was fine, but her daughter and Nan Yan were stung like this?!
Such a big thing happened in the Imperial Garden, it is impossible for the Emperor not to ask about it. When the Emperor came to the Imperial Garden, he saw Shen Wan first and asked, "Did you get stung?"
Shen Wan shook her head, “My husband arrived in time, and I wasn’t stung.”
The emperor was relieved that Shen Wan was not stung.
As a result, I even started to like my son-in-law a lot more.
The emperor only asked Shen Wan, and didn't ask anyone else. Princess Shouzhen was so angry that tears came out, "Father!"
The emperor frowned, obviously not recognizing it. "This is...?"
These two words are sharper than a knife.
God knows how much effort Shen Wan used to hold back from laughing out loud.
Princess Shouzhen was so angry that she cried. Tears streamed down her face which was swollen like a pig's head, causing a burning pain.
Queen Song was so angry that she wanted to skin Chen Wan alive, no, she wanted to skin the emperor together!
The Princess Consort of Prince Jingbei is fine, and the Emperor cares about her. Her daughter was stung and almost died, but the Emperor didn't show any concern at all.
The noble ladies also looked at each other in confusion, and finally concluded that the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingbei was not stung, so the Emperor could recognize her. The others were more or less stung once or twice, especially Princess Shouzhen, so it was normal that the Emperor could not recognize her.
Princess Shouzhen wanted to complain, but her face hurt so much that she couldn't speak. She gasped in pain every time she opened her mouth.
But she didn't complain. Her maid stood up, covering her face, and pointed at Xie Jingyu and complained, "Empress, it was the Prince of Jingbei who kicked the hornet's nest near the princess, and that's why the princess was stung so badly!"
