Chapter 143 You Disappoint Me So Much
Without waiting for Dean Jiang to speak.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty..." Doctor Zhao suddenly knelt on the ground.
Xie Changning's eyes flickered. Why hadn't Shen Jingyun's poison taken effect yet? It seemed she had to take action. While everyone's attention was on Doctor Zhao, she quickly attacked and pressed down hard on Shen Jingyun's Fengchixue.
The next moment.
Shen Jingyun's body softened, and at this moment, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Everything was just right.
Without waiting for Doctor Zhao to finish his words.
"Jingyun!" Xie Changning rushed over to catch Shen Jingyun. She cried and begged His Majesty, "Please allow me to take Jingyun down for treatment first."
His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound, and raised his right hand slightly.
Immediately, Xie Changning and Shen Jingyun were taken away.
For a moment, only His Majesty, the eldest princess, Song Wenjing, Dean Jiang and Imperial Physician Zhao were left in Chongzheng Hall.
This concerns the reputation of the royal family. As long as the matter has not been concluded, there is still room for maneuver.
Imperial Physician Zhao then continued, "Just now, I was shortsighted. Now that I think about it carefully, the prince's symptoms are indeed similar to those of syphilis. I deserve death. Your Majesty, please punish me."
At this moment, if Xie Changning were here, His Majesty would have to give her an explanation.
If Your Majesty punishes the Princess and Song Wenjing at this time, there is no guarantee that Your Majesty will not harbor resentment in the future, or even vent his anger on the Duke's Mansion.
When she is not here, behind closed doors, this is just His Majesty's family affair.
Whether Song Wenjing is infected with syphilis or not depends entirely on Your Majesty's decision. He can be infected or not.
If Xie Changning came to the palace to seek justice for Shen Jingyun, she would never do so. She would stand here at this moment, arguing with His Majesty and severely punishing the Princess and Song Wenjing.
But why should she seek justice for Shen Jingyun?
What she wanted to do was to protect the Duke's Mansion and thereby create a rift between His Majesty and the Princess...
Dean Jiang also spoke up, "Your Majesty, the prince is indeed infected with syphilis."
Song Wenjing instantly collapsed to the ground. It was over, it was over, it was all over now...
The eldest princess's expression was even uglier than his. Her knees buckled as she knelt heavily before His Majesty, tears streaming down her face. "Brother, I know I deserve death, but I'm doing this to protect Wen Jing. I beg you to show some mercy. No matter what, you must not prove that Wen Jing is syphilitic. I am willing to accept the punishment."
His Majesty narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the eldest princess with an extremely gloomy look. His good sister really had her hands in the Imperial Hospital. Isn't the power, wealth and glory he gave her enough?
She is really greedy!
The eldest princess looked anxious.
At this moment, Eunuch Wang stepped forward and whispered a few words in His Majesty's ear. It turned out that the imperial physician had diagnosed that Shen Jingyun was indeed poisoned, and it was a secret palace medicine.
Needless to say, this poison came from the eldest princess.
The eldest princess also guessed it, and her heart sank instantly. She was afraid that today's matter would not be resolved peacefully. With Xie Changning's personality, he would definitely not give in.
Song Wenjing was even more flustered, and he kept looking towards the princess.
His Majesty glanced at Doctor Zhao indifferently. He said expressionlessly, "Drag this useless person away and beat him to death!"
Doctor Zhao looked ashen and collapsed to the ground.
Doctor Zhao was soon dragged away.
His Majesty then looked at the eldest princess and said, "Imperial sister, you disappoint me so much."
He paused, "And Wen Jing, you too!"
Really, he didn't know what to say about Song Wenjing. He was at the time when he should be making great achievements, but he contracted this dirty disease. It showed how ridiculous he was in private.
It's okay that he has this dirty disease.
And you still have to tease other people's daughters!
In particular, it was he who personally issued the decree to grant the marriage.
How could he explain this to Xie Changning?
Once this matter gets out, the reputation of the entire royal family will be affected.
"It's all my fault. I'll take whatever punishment you ask me to do. I only ask that you issue an imperial decree to cover up for Wen Jing. Otherwise, how will the world view Wen Jing?"
Seeing that she had no idea of her mistake and was still trying to cover up for Song Wenjing at this time, His Majesty became more and more disappointed.
"Look at all the good things you've done. Do you think everyone else is dead? You can do whatever you want. Have you ever thought about how the Marquis' Mansion will deal with you?"
This matter also involves the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo will soon return in triumph.
If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably discourage the meritorious officials.
The eldest princess said confidently, "As long as the emperor issues an order, will Xie Changning dare to disobey it? Even if she is given a hundred courage, she would not dare to do so. Anyway, Shen Jingyun has already married Wen Jing. Maybe she has already contracted syphilis. As long as she continues to stay in the princess's mansion, those rumors outside will surely be refuted."
His Majesty looked at her in a daze, "How dare you think that at this time, you still want Shen Jingyun to stay in the Princess's Mansion. Do you think Xie Changning is dead? Or that the Duke's Mansion no longer exists? Do you want me to kill everyone who knows about this for you?"
The eldest princess: “…”
She actually thought so!
But she didn't dare say it.
"What do you think, my royal brother?"
His Majesty curled his lips and sneered. In his opinion, Song Wenjing should be castrated to prevent him from harming others again.
He raised his hand and asked the eldest princess and Song Wenjing to leave first.
Now it's not how they want it.
It depends on what Xie Changning wants!
Shen Jingyun hasn’t woken up yet.
Soon, with Eunuch Wang leading the way, Xie Changning came to Chongzheng Hall again. The difference was that the eldest princess and Song Wenjing were missing this time.
Xie Changning knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respects to you."
