Chapter 439 Laxative
I'm glad Zhao Ang is okay. Shen Wan was really worried about him for a while.
In his previous life, Zhao Ang had never been assassinated or poisoned. Chen Wan was worried that he had been killed because he went to Suizhou to bring the coffin of the Concubine Chen back to the capital, so she asked, "Who wanted to kill him?"
When this matter was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Xie Jingyu's eyes.
The assassins who killed Zhao Ang were masked, but Zhao Ang recognized one of the two leaders as the prince of Song.
He couldn't identify the other person who fought with him, but judging from his figure and martial arts skills, it looked like Xie Jingze.
Judging from his figure and martial arts skills, and the fact that he was with the Prince of Song, it must be Xie Jingze.
There were two of them plus two assassins, a total of four people. As soon as Zhao Ang discovered them, he turned around and ran away, but he failed to escape and was stopped by Xie Jingze. During the fight, he was ambushed by the assassin and injured his arm.
The Prince of Song and the Prince of Yuzhang did not get along, but when they really fought, it was usually the Prince of Yuzhang who took the lead, and Chu Yang and Zhao Ang mostly watched from the side. If the Prince of Song wanted to kill for those petty grudges, he should have targeted the Prince of Yuzhang who had fought with him, not Zhao Ang.
Chen Wan still remembered that Zhao Ang, in order to protect the coffin of Concubine Chen, teamed up with Prince Yuzhang and kicked the Prince of Song to break a rib.
Judging from the time, the rib injury of the Prince of Song has not just healed.
These people are simply thorns in the flesh. They will do anything to achieve their goals, and they will be killed if they show any resistance.
Zhao Ang was lucky enough to escape this time, but there is no guarantee that there won’t be a next time.
God knows when we can put an end to all these evils and eliminate the troubles forever.
Shanhu brought the painting over, Shen Wan took it, and opened it to show Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu took a look and said, "Why would I want you to show me your mother's painting?"
Shen Wan asked, "Do you also think this is a painting of my mother?"
Xie Jingyu thought this question was strange, "This is obviously written by my mother."
Chen Wan said, "After you were summoned to the palace by the Emperor today, a masked man asked a seven or eight-year-old child to bring this painting to my mother. My mother also thought it was painted by her, but I don't remember when I painted such a painting..."
Xie Jingyu frowned. He took the painting and looked at it carefully. It looked like it was written by the princess herself.
But how could she forget the painting that her mother had drawn, and how could she forget it and let it fall into the hands of outsiders?
After looking at it for a few more times, Xie Jingyu found that the painting paper was of excellent quality and he had never seen it before. It looked like it was quite old. Could it be that it was painted by his mother before she lost her memory?
But my father kept my mother under such close watch, how could she have been discovered?
What was the purpose of the masked man sending such a painting...
Since this matter concerns the princess, Xie Jingyu dare not take it lightly.
"I'll send someone to check."
Shen Wan knew that Xie Jingyu would send someone to investigate.
Shen Wan said, “And today, several orchids that my mother kept in the garden were killed by someone overwatering them.”
A hint of disgust flashed in Xie Jingyu's eyes. "Give them some of the poisons you treasure."
Shen Wan, “…???”
"Just that?"
When did this guy become so gentle?
Concubine Wen and the others are touching the princess's favorite.
Chen Wan felt that this was not like Xie Jingyu's character. Shouldn't he go to the prince and ask him to punish Concubine Wen and her daughter?
Xie Jingyu said, "If there was evidence, Mother would have dealt with Concubine Wen herself. It's pointless to ask Father for help if there's no evidence."
He was already preparing big gifts for Concubine Wen and the Wen family, so he didn't bother to go to the prince for such a small matter.
Shen Wan asked Shanhu to pick it out, and Shanhu took a packet of laxatives to Chen Ping.
In less than half an hour, news came that Concubine Wen and Xie Zhihuan had diarrhea.
However, this time, Concubine Wen and Xie Zhihuan had severe diarrhea. The mother and daughter got up seven or eight times in one night and passed out due to diarrhea. They even had to invite a doctor into the house late at night.
When Shen Wan woke up in the morning and heard the news, she was a little confused, "How could it be so serious?"
Shanhu said, "You shouldn't do that. The laxatives I bought won't kill you."
She is timid and dares not buy any medicine that can kill people.
Moreover, if Concubine Wen and Xie Zhihuan shared a packet of laxatives, the situation wouldn't be so serious.
After Shen Wan finished washing up, the kitchen didn't deliver breakfast as usual, and Xie Jingyu didn't come back either. Shen Wan asked, "Where's the master?"
Yin Chuan said, "The prince has been summoned by the prince."
Shen Wan, “…”
The reason he went to see Xie Jingyu now must be because of Concubine Wen.
They didn't go to the prince to complain about Concubine Wen, but instead they were found by the prince.
In the study.
As soon as the prince changed out of his court robes, Xie Jingyu went in.
The prince frowned, "It was you who gave Concubine Wen a laxative."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Does father really care so much about Concubine Wen?"
The mocking tone made the prince's forehead throb, "Laxatives can also kill people."
This does not object to Xie Jingyu venting his anger on the princess, but he must be moderate.
Xie Jingyu said, "If your father had truly cared about her, he would have known that Concubine Wen was given two laxatives. I had one of them administered. What about the other one?"
"Mother wouldn't do such a thing, Fourth Aunt wouldn't meddle in other people's business. Father, do you think anyone else in this mansion would drug Concubine Wen?"
The prince frowned, he really didn't know that Concubine Wen had been given two kinds of laxatives.
It was Chen Ping who drugged Concubine Wen. They had to call a doctor late at night. Chen Ping was really afraid that Concubine Wen had died, so he went to check on her.
The doctor said nothing and prescribed anti-diarrhea medicine. After the doctor left the house, Chen Ping asked the doctor what had happened. The doctor was frightened and said truthfully, "The concubine in the mansion was given two kinds of laxatives..."
Xie Jingyu said a few words and was about to leave, but just as he turned around, a servant came running in and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Wen is here."
The prince's brows were twisted into knots.
Xie Jingyu laughed, "It came really quickly."
"Son, would you like me to ask someone to call a doctor for your father first?"
Filial piety is overwhelming.
The prince was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.
Originally, Xie Jingyu suspected that the other laxative was given to him by Concubine Wen. Now that Old Madam Wen came, there was no doubt that it was Concubine Wen herself.
Used to water the orchid that killed the princess.
Without a convincing reason, we cannot use Madam Wen as our trump card.
The prince is afraid of few people in his life, and Madam Wen is one of them.
Not only is the prince afraid, the princess and Xie Jingyu are also afraid.
Old Madam Wen was born in the countryside, and old General Wen died saving the old prince. Old Madam Wen stayed indoors all year round and didn't care about her reputation. Every time she came to the Jingbei Palace, she would beat her feet and stamp her chest, and even roll on the ground in a rage.
The prince had never seen such a person before. The princess tolerated Concubine Wen largely because of Old Madam Wen.
Seeing an old lady in luxurious clothes sitting on the ground crying, that scene...
The impact was too strong.
Having experienced it once, no one dares to do it again.
The prince almost had to bite the bullet and go to meet Old Madam Wen.
