Chapter 327 TOEFL
In the early morning, sunlight shines into the house through the window, scattering golden fragments all over the ground.
Shen Wan woke up, sat on the bed and stretched.
Shanhu Yinchuan came in to help Shen Wan get up. Seeing Shanhu, Shen Wan said, "Are you completely well now?"
Shanhu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I am fine now."
This time, if Zhao Yuanzheng hadn't said that she would be fine in ten days or half a month, she would have suspected that she was going to die and would never see the Crown Prince's Consort again.
She was very careful when she was cleaning up the powder, but she didn't expect to fall into the trap. Fortunately, she remembered it, otherwise she would have to stay in bed for a few days and eat... delicious food.
Well, she is the personal maid of the Crown Prince's Consort, who usually follows him everywhere. Previously, she confronted the old lady and Song Nanyue for Shanhu, and now she asks Zhao Yuanzheng to treat Shanhu. Not to mention Zhao Lanxuan, everyone in the Jingbei Palace knows the status of Shanhu in the Crown Prince's Consort's heart.
Chen Wan was afraid that Shanhu would get sick and not be able to eat, so she asked Xiaochen to make some delicious food for Shanhu. Xiaochen was very attentive and made everything that Shanhu liked to eat.
Eat well and consume less, otherwise you wouldn’t become so fat in just a few days.
Softening tendon powder is not a fatal poison. Even if you don't take the antidote, the effect will disappear in half a month.
Yesterday evening, Coral was able to walk again, and after a night, he was fine again.
Shanhu was fine, so Shen Wan was relieved. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed. Shanhu helped her get dressed. Chun'er ran in and said, "Prince's Consort, something bad has happened! It seems the princess's old illness has come back..."
Shen Wan, “…”
No way?
Did Xie Jingyu really give the princess a muscle softening powder?
However, the effect of the softening powder was very similar to the princess's old illness. Whether it was really her "old illness" or not, we had to ask the imperial physician to take her pulse to find out.
After Shen Wan finished washing up, she was about to go see the princess, but Xie Jingyu sat down and said, "It's not too late to go after you finish eating."
"But……"
Xie Jingyu put a lotus root box into Chen Wan's bowl, and Chen Wan sat down silently.
The princess was given a muscle softening powder that her son had given her out of filial piety. It would probably take a while for the imperial physician to come into the palace, so she could go after taking the medicine and listen to what the imperial physician had to say.
Shen Wan sat down to have breakfast, rested his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth, and then dragged Xie Jingyu out.
From a distance, they saw the imperial physician entering the Liuli Courtyard. When Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu entered, they heard the imperial physician say, "The princess is fine, it's just that her old illness has come back..."
Mother Zhao said, "Normally, the princess would only have this old illness once a year, or twice at most, and at least six months apart. How come she's had it happen again so soon this time?"
Mother Zhao's voice was trembling. The princess's old illness last time lasted for too long, and it came back again not long after she recovered.
The attacks lasted for a long time and the intervals were short, which clearly showed that the condition had worsened.
For so many years, we didn’t even know what disease the princess had. Now it’s getting worse. How can we treat it?
The imperial physician was unable to answer Mother Zhao's concerns. "The princess's old illness isn't fatal. Just rest and recuperate for a while. Perhaps she'll recover someday."
Behind the screen, Chen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, whose brows were furrowed.
Xie Jingyu gave the princess a medicine called Softening Muscle Powder, but the imperial physician said that the princess had an old illness coming back. So the princess's old illness must have been caused by the Softening Muscle Powder.
Who is it that gives the princess the muscle softening powder every year?
Shen Wan's curious heart was like a cat scratching.
The princess had an old illness, but the imperial physician didn't even leave a prescription. He just picked up his medicine box and said goodbye.
But before he could leave, Xie Jingyu stopped him as he left Liuli Courtyard. "What is my mother's old illness?"
The doctor said, "I don't know..."
Xie Jingyu laughed, "As the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, you couldn't even diagnose my mother who was poisoned by the Soft Muscle Powder?"
Imperial Physician, “……!!!”
The imperial physician avoided looking.
Xie Jingyu said, "Tell me! Who asked you to hide it?!"
The imperial physician said, "My Lord, please don't embarrass me. Please go ask the prince."
The imperial physician said this and ran away.
Xie Jingyu had already had some suspicions, and the words of the imperial physician undoubtedly exposed the prince.
In the sunlight, Xie Jingyu's brows were furrowed.
Why did my father give my mother the muscle softening powder?
And it rains every year!
No wonder the cause of the illness has not been discovered for so many years. None of the doctors and imperial physicians who came to the Jingbei Palace to treat the illness dared to expose the matter without giving face to my father.
He even didn't dare to say that his maid had been poisoned by the muscle softening powder, and tried to gloss over it.
If the maid had not realized that she might have been poisoned accidentally, he would not know how long he would have been kept in the dark.
The prince never asked the princess to help him get up. When the prince went to court, the princess had not yet woken up. The prince did not know that the princess's old illness had recurred. After court, he did not go directly to the military camp, but returned to the palace.
When returning to the palace, Steward Zhou happened to be seeing the imperial physician off. The prince casually asked, "Who's sick in the palace?"
Steward Zhou replied, "It's the princess's old illness that has recurred."
The prince frowned.
A bad premonition flashed through my heart.
The princess fell ill, so the prince had to go and see her when he returned home. He changed out of his court clothes and went into the inner courtyard.
Inside the room, the princess leaned weakly on the large welcoming pillow. Afraid that Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu would worry, the princess said, "Mother is fine. She will be fine after some rest."
The prince walked in, and Xie Jingyu turned to look at him, "Father, how long do you think mother will be ill this time?"
The prince paused.
Needless to say, the princess's illness this time was caused by her son.
The prince said, "How could my father know this?"
Xie Jingyu said, "The Crown Prince's maid had a similar illness to my mother. The maid recovered after taking a pill bought from the Huguo Temple. Perhaps it will also work for my mother's illness."
The prince said, "If it's harmless, let your mother try it too."
Shen Wan stood aside and felt tired for the prince.
A general king who holds military power is led by his own son. If the princess had not been there, she would probably have beaten Xie Jingyu.
The antidote was on Shen Wan's body. Shen Wan poured out a pill and handed it to the princess.
Mother Zhao was worried and tried to stop her, but the princess had already picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth.
He took the tea brought by Shaoyao, took a sip, and swallowed the medicine.
After about half a cup of tea, the princess' eyes showed a hint of surprise, "This medicine is effective. Mother feels stronger."
"It seems that my mother is blessed by this maid."
No one can deny this.
If it weren't for Coral, they wouldn't have known whether the princess's old illness was caused by poison or by the prince.
Xie Jingyu said, "Mother, please take a good rest. Father has some matters to attend to."
Shen Wan, “…”
The prince has to go out for something.
It feels like there is a house that needs cleaning.
The father and son remained silent all the way until they arrived at the front yard and the prince's study.
As soon as he entered the study, the prince shouted angrily, "How dare you poison your mother?!"
Xie Jingyu laughed angrily, "This is the first time I've seen my father so angry out of shame. Is he afraid that my mother and I will complain?"
It's not a good thing for a son to be too smart.
The prince said, "Don't tell your mother a word about this."
"I want to know why my father poisoned my mother!"
