Chapter 373 Delivering Food
If looks could kill, Xie Jingyu would have died at the hands of Prince Qing and Queen Song.
But the two of them could only be angry.
The fight between Prince Yuzhang and the Prince of Song was not the first or second time, so it was impossible to accuse Prince Yuzhang of doing it on purpose.
What's more, in the fight today, it was the Prince of Song who started the fight first, and it was also him who broke the poison bottle. No matter how you look at it, it can only be the Prince of Song who was unlucky and his martial arts skills were inferior to others.
Furthermore, the jade deer was presented to the Emperor by Prince Qing, and this matter has nothing to do with Duke Song. Even if someone was to be used to force Prince Qing to hand over the antidote, the poison should be stuffed into the mouth of Prince Qing's son, not Duke Song's son.
If they had any doubt that Xie Jingyu had not dragged Duke Song into the water, they would have jumped in themselves.
Empress Song couldn't do anything to Xie Jingyu, so she could only vent her anger on Zhao Yuanzheng, "What is Zhao Yuanzheng still doing here? Can't you see that there are so many lives waiting for the antidote to save them?!"
Zhao Yuanzheng, "..."
An unexpected disaster.
Zhao Yuanzheng hurriedly took the poison back to the Imperial Hospital and worked with other imperial doctors to develop an antidote.
Prince Qing was taken back to Prince Qing's Mansion by the imperial guards and detained. Queen Song came to see the emperor for the dowry of her daughter Princess Shouzhen. Xie Jingyu said goodbye and left the palace with Prince Yong.
However, when the two men arrived at the horse-riding yard and had just mounted their horses and were about to leave the palace, they saw Xiao Yun riding towards them.
Prince Yong felt a surge of murderous aura coming towards him.
Xiao Yun's eyes were cold and murderous, but when he looked at Xie Jingyu who looked normal, he immediately knew who was better.
When they met head-on, both sides stopped their horses. Xiao Yun said coldly, "Prince Jingbei is scheming. He's trying to drag the Duke of Song into this trap to help you find an antidote to save Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin!"
Everyone knew what was going on, so Xie Jingyu didn't deny it. "What does King Cheng want to say?"
Xiao Yun said coldly, "I would like to advise Prince Jingbei not to be too happy too soon. There is only one antidote. Who do you think will be saved in the end?"
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin are both old. The Prince of Song is the only son of the Duke of Song. This matter also involves the Prince of Yuzhang. There is only one antidote, and it can only be used to save the Prince of Song.
This was a bucket of cold water, which made Prince Yongwang feel very disappointed.
After planning for so long, is it all in vain?
Xie Jingyu laughed, "Prince Cheng underestimates the doctors at the Imperial Hospital. As long as there's an antidote, the hospital is confident they can prepare it. Even if they can't, the blood of the Duke of Song, who took the antidote, can also detoxify."
"Prince Cheng had better pray for more than one antidote, otherwise if too much blood is lost, even if the prince of Song is not dead, he will be half dead."
The imperial guards surrounded Prince Qing's mansion. Prince Qing needed an antidote, but he didn't dare to hand it over directly to Duke Song. He would definitely send it to the emperor for him to deal with.
Zhao Yuanzheng was already somewhat confident that he could prepare the antidote within half a month. Since it was already prepared, how could he not be able to prepare it?
Even if there is not enough time, we can still use the blood of the Prince of Song to help Madam Lin suppress the toxicity first, and wait for Zhao Yuanzheng to prepare the antidote.
The antidote has been given to the prince of Song. You can't be so reluctant to give up even a little blood, right?
It can be said that as long as there is an antidote, Old Madam Lin and Old Tutor Lin will definitely be saved.
Since he would definitely be saved, Duke Song would not let his son lose blood and damage his vitality in vain.
Prince Yong, "..."
It's too early to worry.
It wasn't Xie Jingyu's plan that was in vain, it was the resistance of Duke Song and his men that was in vain.
Xie Jingyu has caught them at their weak spot.
Pinch it tightly.
Xie Jingyu left his words and rode away on his horse. Behind him, Xiao Yun's eyes looked as if they were filled with poison.
After leaving the palace, Xie Jingyu asked, "Where is the Prince of Yuzhang?"
Prince Yong looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "At this hour, he should be getting beaten in the mansion."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
"When I entered the palace, he asked me to bring you a message, asking you to bring roast goose from Zuixianlou, eight-treasure duck from Cuiweizhai, daughter's red wine from Yunqilou, and lotus leaf rolls from Yuexiaxuan when you visit him..."
“…”
Prince Yuzhang, Chu Yang and the Duke of Song have always been at odds with each other.
But to help today, Prince Yuzhang was willing to risk his life. Xie Jingyu guessed that Prince Qing must have the antidote, but it was just a guess after all. Regardless of whether the Prince of Song was the first to act, if the Prince of Song died, the Duke of Song would not only target Xie Jingyu, but also retaliate against the Prince of Teng's Mansion. Prince Yuzhang helped without hesitation because Xie Jingyu asked him to. This was out of trust in his brother.
The Prince of Yuzhang was punished by his own father, kneeling in the ancestral hall without food. Xie Jingyu should have brought him food.
However, Prince Yuzhang had already had lunch, so Xie Jingyu went to Lin's mansion.
The Prince of Yuzhang and the Prince of Song were fighting in Deyue Tower, and poison was accidentally injected into the Prince of Song's mouth. Chen An and the Prince of Yuzhang, one patted the Prince of Song on the back, and the other tried to knock the poison out of his mouth. The story of how the Prince of Song was in great pain reached Shen Wan's ears.
Shen Wan was stunned when he heard this. When he saw Xie Jingyu, Shen Wan asked in a low voice, "Did you ask the Prince of Yuzhang to do this?"
Xie Jingyu said, "I have to deliver dinner to Prince Yuzhang tonight, so I can't eat with you."
Shen Wan, “…”
The Prince of Yuzhang is truly loyal.
No wonder Xie Jingyu trusts them so much.
They are really good at something.
Both Grand Tutor Lin and Madam Lin knew that Xie Jingyu was responsible for the poisoning of the Prince of Song. In order to save them, he involved the Prince of Yuzhang and the Prince of Teng's Mansion, and both of them felt guilty about it.
But right now they can't do anything, nor do they need to do anything. They just need to wait patiently for the antidote.
Xie Jingyu didn't stay any longer, and said goodbye to Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin, and took Shen Wan back to the Jingbei Palace.
Chen Wan ate dinner alone. Xie Jingyu went to Prince Teng's Mansion to deliver food to the punished Prince Yuzhang. When he came back, it was already dark.
The next day, Shen Wan woke up and sat on the bed to stretch. Shanhu came in and said, "Princess, good news, the antidote has been found!"
It’s not even noon yet, and you’ve found the antidote?
Are you afraid that if you delay, Prince Song will be doomed?
Xie Jingyu was right when he forced the prince of Song to give him the antidote.
Shen Wan asked, "How did you find it?"
Shanhu spilled the beans, "The Imperial Guards surrounded Prince Qing's Mansion. Last night, the Palace Manager escaped through a secret passage, masked and acting furtively. He was discovered by the City Patrol and arrested. It turned out to be the Palace Manager, and he had a bag full of gold, silver, jewelry, and tens of thousands of taels of silver in his bag. The City Patrol immediately delivered it to Prince Qing's Mansion..."
"Prince Qing interrogated him and found out that the poison in the jade deer was planted by the steward with the intention of killing Prince Qing. However, Prince Qing presented it to the Emperor and then to the Lin Mansion. The steward was afraid that if he stayed in Prince Qing's mansion, he would suffer the consequences along with Prince Qing, so he absconded with the money. However, he was caught by the city patrol as soon as he escaped."
"The steward hid the antidote in Prince Qing's study. Just now, the commander of the Imperial Guards sent someone to say that the antidote has been delivered to the Lin Mansion."
