Chapter 311 Involvement
Queen Song was already furious. When she learned how Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyan were stung, her rage immediately surged to her head. She angrily scolded Xie Jingyu, "How dare you murder the princess?!"
Empress Song looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please stand up for Shouzhen and so many other innocent ladies who have been implicated. Severely punish the Prince of Jingbei!"
The emperor frowned and looked at Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu remained calm. "I kicked the hornet's nest to save my wife. I didn't see anyone over there, and I didn't know where Princess Shouzhen was hiding. Ignorance is not a crime."
"Princess Shouzhen is acting suspiciously. She has an old grudge against my wife. I have reason to suspect the hornet's nest falling from the tree wasn't an accident. There's no guarantee they didn't apply anti-waste medication. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to examine them."
Xie Jingyu's voice is mellow but resounding.
Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue both looked pale and panicked.
Queen Song knew something was wrong and tried to stop him, "Your Majesty..."
"Excuse me, Imperial Physician!"
The emperor had a gloomy expression and didn't give Queen Song any chance at all.
When hornets sting people randomly, instead of staying away, they have the leisure to hide there and watch the fun. It would be strange if there is nothing fishy going on.
The imperial physician was in the imperial garden. Well, the imperial physician was not spared. He came with his eyes swollen from being stung by a wasp to examine Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue.
Queen Song said coldly, "The imperial physician must examine it carefully!"
Chen Wan said, "The emperor has ordered this, how dare the imperial physician not do his best? The imperial physician cannot bear the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Imperial Physician, “…”
The imperial physician felt miserable.
When gods fight, the devils suffer.
Queen Song's words clearly meant that he should think carefully. If Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue were to be punished, it would be as easy for her, Queen Song, to kill a royal physician like an ant.
But the Crown Prince and his wife of Jingbei Prince are not to be trifled with...
He, a mere imperial physician, couldn't afford to offend either side.
The imperial physician felt Princess Shouzhen's pulse, then examined her face and reported to the emperor, "Fortunately, Princess Shouzhen and Second Young Madam Xie had applied anti-wasp medicine beforehand. Otherwise, with so many wasps, their lives would be in danger..."
With every word the imperial physician spoke, Queen Song's face grew colder.
But even if the imperial physician had some courage, he would not dare to tell the truth. If he did not expose Princess Shouzhen, the Prince of Jingbei would invite other imperial physicians, and there would always be one who told the truth. At worst, there was still Zhao Yuanzheng.
He wanted to help Queen Song lie, but he couldn't even wait for Queen Song to settle the score later. It was uncertain whether he could leave the palace alive today.
The Emperor was furious, "Is this how you pray for the Empress Dowager?!"
Queen Song knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down. Shouzhen would never do such a thing..."
Queen Song asked Princess Shouzhen to kneel down, but Princess Shouzhen was stubborn and refused to kneel.
Song Nanyue knelt on the ground obediently.
But my knees were also stung and I couldn’t kneel at all. The pain made my scalp numb.
Queen Song looked at the palace maid, who turned pale and knelt down, saying, "Today's wasp disaster was instigated by me, the princess. The Crown Prince of Jingbei disrespected the princess and had her carried back to the palace. I was so angry that I was stung by a wasp in the Imperial Garden that day, and I thought of using this method to vent my anger on the princess. I deserve to die..."
"Drag him away and beat him to death!"
The palace maid stepped forward to take the blame, and the emperor obliged her.
But the palace maid was charged with instigation, as she had applied anti-bite medicine on Princess Shouzhen and Song Nanyue's bodies, and she could not escape this charge.
The emperor looked at Shen Wan and said, "I was frightened in the palace today. Take Wan'er back."
Shen Wanfu lowered her body, and Xie Jingyu took her away.
The emperor let them go, and those unfortunate ladies and noble ladies naturally did not stay any longer and took their leave one after another.
I have attended many palace banquets, but the recent ones have not been peaceful. First, the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingbei broke out in a rash, then the Emperor almost died from eating something wrong, and today, he used a wasp to kill someone.
Wasp stings can really kill people!
They happily entered the palace to attend the banquet and pray for the Queen Mother, but ended up being stung. For these spoiled ladies and noble ladies, this was an unbearable pain, and they had no good feelings towards Queen Song and her daughter.
After leaving the Imperial Garden, Shen Wan remembered Wei Mingzhu. She had fallen into the water and was rescued. She looked quite embarrassed and was taken away by the palace maids to change her clothes.
Wei Mingzhu was implicated by her, and Shen Wan was worried about going back without seeing her, so she waited for a while.
Wei Mingzhu came out with the wife of Duke Weiguo, followed by the prince of Weiguo.
Wei Mingzhu's face was not stung, but the back of her hand was stung twice and was swollen.
Shen Wan said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble today..."
Wei Mingzhu shook her head, "They are too hateful."
When the hornet stung someone, Shen Wan was busy taking care of herself but still did not forget to protect her. Shen Wan treated her sincerely, and it was because of this that those people used her as bait to target Shen Wan.
Wei Mingzhu knew clearly in her heart that if she was really scared and stayed away from Chen Wan, she would really fall into the hands of those people.
Wei Mingzhu said, "I will often go to the Jingbei Palace to play with you and make them mad!"
It's this kind of personality that Chen Wan likes.
The maid helped Wei Mingzhu walk forward. When they arrived at the horse farm, Prince Yuzhang, Chu Yang, Zhao Ang and others did not leave.
Chu Yang was leaving for Jizhou the day after tomorrow, and he wanted to go to the palace today to have some fun. The result did not disappoint him, it was more lively than ever before.
The three men rode on horseback, looking handsome and majestic.
But the look in Wei Mingzhu's eyes when he looked at Prince Yuzhang was one of gnashing teeth.
She would rather be stung by a few more wasps than be thrown into a lotus pond!!!
Prince Yuzhang felt guilty about being watched, and he also wanted to watch the fun, "Look, Miss Wei Si's eyes are so full of gratitude..."
Chu Yang laughed so hard that his stomach ached.
Prince Yuzhang's fists itched, "When did you go blind?"
Zhao Ang patted Prince Yuzhang's shoulder and said, "Brother, what do you think? Is there anyone who saves people like you?"
How stupid of you to throw a girl into a lotus pond?
Is this saving people or bringing hatred upon yourself?
Prince Yuzhang brushed off Zhao Ang's hand and said, "Can you just save people casually? If I want to save people like Brother Jingyu did, I must marry her, right?"
Thinking of the day when he called out to him where the Princess was and she happened to answer him, Prince Yuzhang felt uncomfortable all over and dared not have anything to do with her.
But there were too many hornets for him to kill them all, and he couldn't just abandon the person, so he could only throw the person into the lotus pond.
Chu Yang said, "I think Miss Wei Si is very good and a good match for you."
Just based on the coincidence on the day of the farewell party for Dongliang and Beiyue, the two of them were extremely destined to be together.
Today, I could have been a hero saving a beautiful girl and have a happy marriage...
never mind.
But based on the Prince of Yuzhang's throwing today, if Yue Lao hadn't tied the two of them together with black iron, they would never have been together in this life.
Prince Yuzhang said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
But in the near future, a certain prince will regret it deeply.
When you don't like someone, you offend them so much.
By the time he fell in love, he couldn't even enter the gate of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.
From top to bottom in the Duke of Wei’s mansion, no one liked him.
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
