Chapter 367 Pretending to Faint
Just as Zhao Yuan was about to leave, Du Xiner stopped him. The prince came again, so he couldn't leave, and now he couldn't leave at all.
The old lady couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot.
The maid frantically helped the old lady sit down. Director Zhao was taking her pulse, and then -
Zhao Yuanzheng, "..."
The times of silence in my entire life combined are not as many as today.
I feel like I was not invited here to treat an illness today, but to show off my acting skills.
Each one is better at acting than the other.
Who would have thought that when the truth was revealed, the old lady would pretend to faint.
Yes, her own grandson was sent to Prince Qing’s Mansion as the crown prince, and died of illness at the age of two. As a grandmother, how could she not be heartbroken when she heard such tragic news?
If I don’t faint, I’ll be sorry for my poor grandson.
Fortunately, everyone used to envy the harmony in Prince Jingbei's Mansion, but it turned out that this harmony was maintained by Prince Jingbei alone. Now that the window paper has been broken, the chaos can no longer be concealed.
The old lady pretended to be unconscious, but Zhao Yuanzheng was not blind enough to see through her, so he could only cooperate, giving her acupuncture and prescribing medicine when necessary. It was just a pity for the two young masters of the Jingbei Palace, who had such parents. One died early, and the other escaped through a dog hole and was never heard from again.
While Dean Zhao was busy reconciling for a while, the old lady slowly woke up and started crying and screaming again. The prince couldn't stand it anymore and had the old lady sent back to Wing Chun Temple.
Not long after the old lady left, Prince Qing arrived.
Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu did not go shopping either. It was okay to go shopping at any time. If you missed the sweet opportunity to recognize your relatives, you would never have it again.
Prince Qing strode in and asked the prince, "The servant said Xi'er is my son. What's going on?"
Seeing the look of complete ignorance on his face, Shen Wan admired Prince Qing's acting skills from the bottom of her heart.
Although the Second Lady is Prince Qing's cousin, Prince Qing and his wife did not send anyone to follow her when she brought her infant child to Prince Qing's mansion. How could it be possible that she exchanged the child with a concubine so easily and kept them in the dark for twenty years?
The prince didn't respond.
The Second Lady, who had been kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to stand up, walked to Prince Qing's side on her knees, grabbed his clothes and said, "It's all my fault. I committed a sin, but Xi'er is innocent. Cousin, please save him..."
These two sentences are quite sincere and heartfelt.
After all, if you raise a dog for twenty years, you will develop feelings for it, let alone a living person.
Xie Jingxi was the illegitimate son of Prince Qing. Although the Second Master and Second Mistress did not care about him as much as they did their "own son" Xie Jingyu, they were afraid that the prince, princess and the servants in the palace would become suspicious, so they did not treat him harshly. They provided him with good food and clothing, and paid attention to his studies, teaching him to be friendly and respectful to his brothers so that he could help his own son in the future.
Prince Qing asked, "What's going on?"
The second wife then told Prince Qing again how she had secretly exchanged the child with her concubine.
Prince Qing was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "You, you guys did such a good thing!"
The second wife kept admitting her mistakes and asked Prince Qing to save Xie Jingxi's life.
Prince Qing looked at Xie Jingxi lying on the bed and said, "Bring me the dagger."
Everything has been prepared long ago.
Not only the dagger and the bowl, but even the antidote has been prepared long ago, only the medicine guide is missing.
Prince Qing cut his wrist and dripped the blood directly into the almost cold medicine bowl, which the maid fed to Xie Jingxi.
Zhao Yuanzheng was bandaging Prince Qing's wound.
Less than a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine, the blue stain on Xie Jingxi's face faded and returned to its rosy color.
He didn't vomit blood or faint like before.
Zhao Yuanzheng felt the patient's pulse and said, "The poison has been resolved. He will be back to normal soon."
The prince said, "Since he is the son of Prince Qing, it is inconvenient for him to be included in the family tree of our Jingbei Palace. Take him back."
Prince Qing nodded.
The Second Madam disagreed, "I raised Xi'er by myself, so just give him to me, cousin."
“Nonsense!”
Prince Qing scolded, "You've kept this good deed a secret from me for twenty years. I've already done my utmost by not blaming you. Do you still want to keep Xi'er by your side?!"
The second wife burst into tears.
Prince Qing said, "I only have one son, and he's not in good health yet. I've been worried about having an heir for years. Now that a son has fallen from the sky, I'm overjoyed. But I almost messed up the bloodline of the Jingbei Palace, and I feel really bad. It's a pity that my concubine died of illness a few years ago, otherwise I would have brought her to the palace to apologize."
The Second Master was also a little reluctant, "Xi'er has just been detoxified and is weak. Even if you want to leave, there's no need to rush..."
Prince Qing glanced at Xie Jingxi, who was lying on the bed and had not yet woken up, then looked at the prince. "This happened suddenly, and my palace needs time to clean up the yard and accommodate them. I hope Prince Jingbei will allow Xier to stay at the palace for two more days. I will send someone to pick him up the day after tomorrow..."
It's just a matter of staying for two more days. The prince will definitely agree.
The matter was settled. Prince Qing said goodbye, and the prince was about to leave as well, so he took the opportunity to see him off.
But after the prince left, the second wife went crazy and yelled at Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu, "Send Xi'er away, are you satisfied?!"
Xie Jingyu held Shen Wan in his arms, "Second uncle and second aunt have loved me for so many years. Now that my third brother has returned to his ancestral home, my second uncle doesn't even have a son. I will buy two maids and give them to my second uncle as an apology."
Killing someone and destroying their heart.
The second wife was so angry that she couldn't breathe and almost died on the spot.
Du Xiner supported the Second Madam and looked at Chen Wan with hatred. That look made Chen Wan say something and regret it for the rest of his life.
Chen Wan said, "We were just suspicious before. In fact, as long as everyone kept to themselves and lived in peace, having a third young master in the mansion wouldn't be a problem for us. But as soon as the third young mistress came in, she threatened me. I'm a timid person and can't stand being scared. I don't want to live in fear, so I had no choice but to send the troublemaker away."
Du Xiner's face turned green with anger.
They had clearly been planning to send Xie Jingxi away for a long time, but they deliberately chose the day when she came in to offer tea. Now they are deliberately saying such things, which clearly shows that they are trying to sow discord!
Chen Wan was just trying to sow discord between them. A second-house third young lady dared to threaten her, the Crown Prince's Consort, in front of Xie Jingyu as soon as she entered the door. If she didn't make her unhappy, she would really think that she, Chen Wan, was easy to bully.
However, Du Xiner is the apple of the eye of the Left Prime Minister. Even if the Second Master and Second Mistress are unhappy, they dare not do anything to her. But Princess Qing does not have so many concerns. If she cannot control Du Xiner, it will be a problem for her son, the Crown Prince of Qing, to get married in the future.
There are many ladies from noble families in Kyoto, but apart from the royal family, those with nobler status than Du Xiner can be counted on one hand. Especially since Du Xiner is not a person who is content with her lot, there will definitely be chaos in Prince Qing's mansion from now on.
After leaving the South Courtyard, Shen Wan asked curiously, "What's the antidote?"
It is completely untrue that the flesh and blood of one's own parents must be used as a medicine inducer, but Xie Jingyu was able to force them to submit. Shen Wan wanted to know how he did it.
The Second Master and the Second Mistress were very wary, and even Zhao Yuanzheng had no chance to secretly detoxify Xie Jingxi.
Moreover, the two antidotes are the same, but the ingredients are different.
Xie Jingyu said, "It's very simple. The detoxification prescription is half a portion. You need to drink it twice to detoxify."
Shen Wan, “…”
The corners of Shen Wan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
If the Second Master and Second Mistress knew about this, they would be so angry that they would die.
