Chapter 62 Concubine, Don’t Wrongly Accuse Me
"Your Highness, it's a bamboo leaf green snake with its fangs pulled out. Someone must have released it on purpose." Qing Wu came out holding a green snake, which scared Shen Lingshu so much that she didn't dare to look and went into Chu Cong's arms.
"Don't be afraid, it's not poisonous."
Chu Cong comforted her gently and asked, "Where did you find this snake?"
"In reply to your Highness, on the bed."
Zhu Xin knelt down directly, and said with a look of fear: "Fortunately, Aunt Hai said she would give the master a massage, so it was discovered in the daytime. If it was left until night, wouldn't the master be..."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Hai Jiaren. She shuddered and shook her head quickly: "It wasn't me who put it there. It has nothing to do with me!"
With the experience of previous failure, this time she used chronic poisons that needed to be taken every day for half a month before any problems would occur. How could she dare to use snakes to scare people!
"vomit."
Shen Lingshu vomited everything she had eaten in the morning and looked uncomfortable, which made Chu Cong even more anxious.
"Qingwu, everyone in Youlan Court is not allowed to leave!"
Chu Cong directly picked the man up horizontally and ordered in a cold voice: "Please call in Doctor Lin."
Chu Cong's anxious voice sounded, and he ran straight to the front yard holding Shen Lingshu. On the way, he ran into Concubine Fang who came over after hearing the news: "Prince, what's going on?"
Chu Cong glanced at her coldly without saying a word, and walked towards the front yard with big strides.
"Is it done?" Aunt Gui stared at their departing backs, a hint of joy in her words.
The next moment, Nanny Gui said worriedly, "Concubine, the prince is very angry."
"I, the concubine, can't do anything about Hai's stupid behavior, right?" Concubine Fang raised her eyebrows and went to Youlan Courtyard. She wanted to inquire about the news, but she knew that Qingwu was guarding the courtyard and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Concubine Fang didn't find out anything, and just listened to Hai Jiaren sobbing in the yard.
Concubine Fang's eyes flashed, and she turned and went to the study in the front yard. Since she couldn't get into the study, she stood guard at the door and watched the doctor go in.
In the study.
Shen Lingshu vomited until she vomited out all the acid. Seeing the doctor coming in, she hurriedly asked: "Doctor Lin, is the child okay?"
Doctor Lin took Chu Cong's pulse for a long time. Chu Cong frowned and asked, "Could it be that he still can't be saved?"
Could it be that he really has no descendants as rumored in Kyoto?
Even if she gets pregnant, she can't keep the child?
Even at this age?
Chu Cong looked at Shen Lingshu's bulging belly. He touched her belly with his own hands and felt the presence of the little life in her belly.
Chu Cong lowered his eyes, his hand was held by Shen Lingshu's soft hand and placed on his abdomen: "Prince, I feel that the child is fine and can still move!"
As if to verify her words, Chu Cong seemed to feel the child moving through the clothes.
"Your Highness, the child is fine, but Concubine Shen has been poisoned." When Doctor Lin heard that they had misunderstood, he hurriedly explained.
"Poisoned?"
Chu Cong's eyes instantly turned cold: "Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me!"
Who is his child bothering?
She hadn't given birth to any baby before, and this was the second time Ling Shu had been poisoned while she was six months pregnant.
"Will the poison affect the child?" Shen Lingshu asked worriedly.
Doctor Lin comforted her, "Luckily, Concubine Shen took a small amount and vomited it out, so she's fine. She was just frightened and had a miscarriage. She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"That's good."
Chu Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "After Doctor Lin prescribes the medicine, go to the Youlan Courtyard and check carefully to see if there is anything remarkable."
Chu Cong's eyes flashed with a cold chill. The Dragon Boat Festival hadn't even arrived yet, and there were actually poisonous bamboo-leaf green snakes in Youlan Courtyard. If this wasn't man-made, he...
"My Lord, thank goodness you're back."
Shen Lingshu was shocked and frightened, like a frightened deer, her eyes flushed, and she said in fear: "Fortunately, the prince protected me, and the child is safe. Otherwise, how can I explain to the prince?"
"Don't be afraid, I won't allow anyone to hurt you." Chu Cong said soothingly.
"As long as the prince is here, I am not afraid."
Shen Lingshu's eyes were full of dependence, as if she regarded Chu Cong as her backer. At this moment, Chu Cong felt that he had the responsibility to protect her.
Suddenly, she rushed in front of Chu Cong, sniffed, and exclaimed: "Prince, there is blood on your body, are you injured?"
"without……"
Before Chu Cong could finish his words, Shen Lingshu moved, which involved Chu Cong's wound. He took a breath. Shen Lingshu pulled his hand, revealing his white inner clothes. The blood that seeped out was like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
"Doctor Lin, come on, help the prince." Shen Lingshu said anxiously.
"It's okay." Chu Cong said nonchalantly.
Shen Lingshu looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "My Lord, it's all my fault. It must be because you hugged me just now that the wound was injured."
There was a choking sound in her self-blaming words, and crystal tears rolled in her eyes before slowly falling.
The hot tears dripped onto his hands and warmed his heart.
Chu Cong raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips.
Doctor Lin's hand holding the medicinal wine stopped in mid-air, and for a long while he didn't know whether he should check the wound. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Your Majesty, how about..."
"Go outside." Chu Cong stood up and left the bed inside to Shen Lingshu. Shen Lingshu looked at his tall and slender back and breathed a sigh of relief.
for a long time.
"Your Highness, we've found out. The snake was set there by a maid named Xiao Tao."
Qing Wu came over to report: "This Xiao Tao bit her tongue and committed suicide, but someone saw Xiao Tao going to Hai Yi Niang's Yihe Courtyard."
"Bring the person here." Chu Cong's voice was cold.
Qing Wu responded, and after a pause, he said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is still at the door."
"Let her in."
Chu Cong said, "Please ask Madam Hua and Madam Liu to come over."
"yes."
Qing Wu responded, left the study, looked at the anxious Concubine Fang and said, "Concubine, please come in, Your Majesty."
As soon as Concubine Fang entered the study, she knelt down and said, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Chu Cong looked at her without saying a word.
Concubine Fang said, "Recently, Concubine Hai has been visiting Concubine Shen every day. I thought she just wanted to keep Concubine Shen company to relieve her boredom. Who would have thought that Concubine Hai actually wanted to harm Concubine Shen?"
"How do you know it was Hai who did it?" Chu Cong asked.
Concubine Fang took a deep breath and said, "I finally found out that it was Hai who burned down Concubine Shen's small kitchen half a month ago."
"The small kitchen was burned?" Chu Cong thought that today's incidents of snakes and poisoning were already infuriating enough, but he didn't expect that there would also be something about the small kitchen?
"I didn't, concubine, please don't wrongly accuse me!"
Hai Jiaren, who was escorted here by two maids, cried out in injustice upon hearing this. She knelt down and cried, "Your Highness, I don't know where that snake came from. I don't even recognize Xiao Tao."
"The burning of the small kitchen has absolutely nothing to do with me."
Hai Jiaren covered her face and sobbed, half-raising her head, looking at the prince she had been longing for day and night with tearful eyes. When she met the prince's eyes that were as cold as ice for ten thousand years, she felt a chill in her heart.
