Chapter 176 Concubine Shu's Determination
Concubine Shu hugged Su Siyi and found that he was soaked: "Siyi, what happened to you?"
"I was thrown into the pond, luckily my brother-in-law saved me." Su Siyi cried even harder when she thought of what had just happened.
Just now, Su Siyi was taken to the bedroom by the nanny, and he fell asleep.
Because something happened to Concubine Yun that attracted everyone's attention, and Concubine Shu was not around, the guards in his bedroom were lax. He was covered in his mouth, his hands and feet were tied, and he was put in a sack while he was sleeping, and then thrown directly into the pond.
Just when Su Siyi thought he was going to die, someone fished him out of the pond.
From Su Siyi's intermittent description, Concubine Shu understood the whole story of the affair. She was shocked and frightened, and held Su Siyi tightly.
Su Chenyu followed and said, "My Lady, let's ask Doctor Zhao to check Si Yi's health first. His clothes are soaked. Although the weather is hot now, you might catch a cold, right?"
Concubine Shu then reacted and asked the palace maid to accompany Su Siyi to bathe and change clothes, and then asked Zhao Zihang to take Su Siyi's pulse.
Seeing that Zhao Zihang didn't say a word when he was checking Su Siyi's pulse, Concubine Shu was nervous: "Doctor Zhao, how is Siyi's health?"
Zhao Zihang withdrew his hand and said, "Your body is a little cold, but it's not a big deal. Your Highness was frightened too much, and you may have a high fever tonight. I will prescribe two prescriptions. Hurry up and boil the medicine for Your Highness to take."
Concubine Shu did not delay and quickly asked the palace maid to prepare and boil the medicine. After feeding it to Su Siyi, she let him go to bed to rest and asked the personal nanny to guard by his bedside.
Seeing that Su Siyi was asleep, Concubine Shu, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing walked out of the bedroom.
Concubine Shu first bowed to the two of them, and Su Chenyu quickly helped her up: "Concubine Shu, what are you doing?"
"My Lord, Prince Consort, if you hadn't been alert and saved Si Yi in time, I'm afraid Si Yi would be gone now." As Concubine Shu spoke, tears fell from her eyes. "Who wanted to harm him? Was it Concubine Yun?"
The one who has always been at odds with Concubine Shu is Concubine Yun, so it is not surprising that she thought of Concubine Yun first.
Baili Yanqing shook his head and said, "It wasn't Concubine Yun. When I came here, I heard some noises from the pond. I chased after Xuan and found a dark figure running away. It looked like a woman who knew martial arts. She looked very similar to Afu, the maidservant beside the Crown Princess. I was in a hurry to save Siyi, so I didn't catch up with Xuan."
At that time, Concubine Yun was having difficulty giving birth, and everyone's attention was on the delivery room, so no one noticed the trace of a palace maid.
"It was Chenyu who first discovered that Afu was missing and reminded me." After Baili Yanqing left there, he kept thinking about what happened that night. When Afu disappeared, Concubine Yun was having a difficult delivery.
Concubine Yun gave birth prematurely, and it was obvious that someone had tampered with her, and that person's target was the baby in Concubine Yun's belly. If that was the case, would the person behind the scenes take advantage of the chaos in the palace to fish in troubled waters and attack another prince?
Baili Yanqing was not sure, so he could only come to find Su Siyi. Unexpectedly, he happened to see Afu attacking Su Siyi, and she saved him.
Concubine Shu calmed herself down and said, "So, my God, there is someone else who attacked Si Yi. Who could it be?"
Whose way did Si Yi block?
No, the question should be, whose way is blocked by the presence of the prince in the palace?
"It's the prince!" Concubine Shu suddenly understood, "But he is already the prince, why would he attack other princes?"
"My Lady, the Crown Prince is not the Emperor after all. The path from Crown Prince to Emperor is not easy. Especially since he is now in a situation of losing power, he must protect his position as Crown Prince. As long as there are no princes competing with him, he can always be the Crown Prince."
