Chapter 411 Twins Poisoned
Joking aside, Xiao Yingchun eventually sent a box of Angong Niuhuang Pills to He Liangcong.
Yes, a box.
There are sixty of them.
When has He Liangcong, a young man who pursues enjoyment, ever received such a gift?
He was stunned.
Xiao Yingchun explained the uniqueness of this thing and told him that "it is mainly for elderly people to use". Only then did he react and gave it to his father.
He Liangcong's father has been in the real estate business for many years and is very familiar with gift-giving.
He knew that this was a good thing, so he first sent thirty of them back to Grandpa He Liangcong and kept twenty for himself.
He had ten left, and he gave one to each of his old friends' families.
Yes, only one per family.
It was too precious, and he couldn't bear to part with it.
Xiao Yingchun didn't expect that this incident would have a chain reaction - this is a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
Because - something happened to Fu Chenan.
The two children who were temporarily brought to the East Palace were suddenly in danger!
The child was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he started breathing rapidly and his face turned purple.
When the doctor was called in, it was discovered that someone had put medicine powder on the child's blanket at some point.
After the child inhaled it, he had difficulty breathing...
Fortunately, the four maids who were guarding the child were martial artists and had better hearing than most people. When they heard that the child's breathing was not right, they checked immediately.
Doctor Meng and Doctor Niu rushed to treat the two children. Fortunately, the poisoning was not serious and the conditions of the two children stabilized.
Fu Zhonghai was furious and arrested all the wet nurses, palace maids, and nannies in the palace who had access to the baby's quilt and interrogated them carefully.
The matter is simple: the palace maid Meixiang was threatened and poisoned.
When Fu Zhonghai was cleaning up the palace servants, he checked all their families and cut off their contacts.
It stands to reason that there should be no communication between the inside and outside.
But there are loopholes outside the rules.
Someone outside the palace stole Meixiang's nephew, found a loophole and passed a message to Meixiang, asking her to poison him.
If Meixiang doesn't agree, kill her nephew.
The eldest brother was threatened and worried about his son, so he threatened Meixiang directly: If you kill your nephew, the eldest brother will not live, and before he dies, he will kill his parents...
Under the brutal threat, Meixiang had no choice but to agree...
Fu Zhonghai found out Mei Xiang's superior, and with the help of a recorder and secret guards, he traced the case to a marginalized and impoverished earl of the previous dynasty outside the palace.
The Earl's Mansion has only one prince left in this generation who is busy with cockfighting and running errands all day long. Seeing its declining status, how could it possibly have such an idea?
Fu Zhonghai asked people to continue investigating.
On this side, the mother of the two children collapsed upon hearing the news.
She asked someone to send a message to the palace, saying that she wanted to see the two children.
Zhan Yunfu looked at Mei Niang in front of her, who was wearing a purple and black dress, and frowned slightly: "Why did you come here in person for this matter?"
Mei Niang was helpless: "What else can I do? I sent the child to the palace, shouldn't I be responsible for him?"
Zhan Yunfu understood, but said: "It's not appropriate to let the child's biological mother in now..."
That would be a revelation.
"How about letting the child go out first?"
"The child's biological mother is really worried."
Besides, it would always be better for the child to be with his mother, right?
"I will ask His Majesty for instructions."
Zhan Yunfu went to find Fu Zhonghai, and Fu Zhonghai agreed without hesitation: "The little grandson and the little princess have been poisoned, so it is normal for them to move to another place to live secretly - let Mei Niang take the child away."
Zhan Yunfu was still worried: "Is the child poisoned?"
Fu Zhonghai glanced at Doctor Meng who just came over to report.
Doctor Meng saluted and responded, "The poison has been eliminated, but the child's spleen and stomach have been affected and he will be weak for a while."
"I have prescribed medicine. The nurse only needs to take it and feed the baby with breast milk, and the condition will gradually improve."
Zhan Yunfu felt relieved, and gave the two children, a bunch of tonic herbs, gold and silver to Mei Niang, and secretly escorted them out of the palace.
Mei Niang took her two children to a remote mountain villa on the outskirts of Beijing. The carriage turned a few times and finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
The gate opened and a thin figure rushed out.
It was Qiuqiu, the singing girl who once lived in the Drunken Red Mansion.
"Madam Mei, can I enter the palace?"
Qiuqiu's voice was anxious but with a hint of blame.
Mei Niang felt a little unhappy: From her tone, is she blaming herself?
But it was Qiuqiu who took the initiative to say that she was willing to send the child to the palace.
Understanding Qiuqiu's anxiety as a mother, she suppressed her unhappiness.
She handed the child to Qiuqiu. When Qiuqiu saw the child, a flash of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
After the gate was closed, Qiuqiu looked at the two children carefully and found that they were both sleeping well, so she began to ask about the children's condition.
Mei Niang told Qiu Qiu the situation in detail.
"...The doctor said that the poison has been eliminated, but the spleen and stomach are weak, so I need to take good care of them..."
Qiuqiu nodded repeatedly, and when Mei Niang finished speaking, she asked again: "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?"
Mei Niang was stunned: "Your Highness the Crown Prince? I didn't see His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Qiuqiu suddenly became anxious: "It was obviously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who needed me to send the child in. How could he not be here when such a big thing happened to the child?"
Mei Niang frowned slightly, just looked at Qiu Qiu and didn't respond.
When Qiuqiu saw that she didn't say anything, her heart skipped a beat and then she reacted.
"I...I didn't mean that either."
Mei Niang didn't intend to let her get away with it: "Qiuqiu, you are now a widow living here, and you have no worries about food and clothing. It is arranged by His Majesty, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you know?"
Qiuqiu nodded and buried her head, tears quickly gathering in her eyes.
When Tianwu founded the country, Zuihonglou made contributions secretly, but it was difficult to commend him openly, but Fu Zhonghai gave a secret order.
Any girl who doesn't want to do it can leave.
Mei Niang arranged a way out for them based on their ideas and strengths.
Qiuqiu didn't want to do it either, because she could play the pipa and sing.
She wants to enter the palace.
Mei Niang had taken care of Qiu Qiu for several years and knew what Qiu Qiu was thinking, and she strongly disapproved of it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has Miss Xiao and is about to get married. You cannot enter the palace."
Besides, the new emperor established the country, and the girl from Zuihonglou entered the palace and became the prince's woman. What would others say?
Qiuqiu pursed her lips and held back tears, not saying a word, looking very aggrieved.
In order to dissuade Qiuqiu from having such an idea, Mei Niang decided to marry Qiuqiu off.
Because of the neighborhood friendship in Shitou Lane back then, Fu Zhonghai even allowed Qiuqiu to choose by herself.
Qiuqiu picked a handsome and tall young general from the Ao family army.
Those lips are somewhat similar to Fu Chenan's.
Mei Niang saw through the situation but didn't say anything and married Qiu Qiu off.
Who would have thought that in the war between the Ao Family Army and the Tianlang Nation, that young general actually died...
Qiuqiu suddenly became a widow like Mei Niang, and she was pregnant...
Mei Niang vaguely felt that she had an obligation to take care of Qiu Qiu - she took Qiu Qiu to her own secluded farm and settled her down.
Qiuqiu and the Crown Prince's children were born on the same day, and they were both twins.
I have to say this is fate!
But Qiuqiu's twins are two daughters.
Originally, the two widows and their two children lived a very comfortable life.
Who knew that the Tianwu Kingdom would hold a full-month banquet for the prince's twins, and envoys from various countries would come.
In order to protect the little grandson and the little princess, Emperor Tianwu secretly gave Mei Niang an order, "Two children of similar age are needed to enter the palace and temporarily pretend to be the prince's twins."
Mei Niang thought of Qiu Qiu's twins.
Qiuqiu lives with herself in this remote village and has no dealings with the outside world. Mei Niang is confident that she can do her best to keep secrets.
She told Qiuqiu about the risks involved and let Qiuqiu make her own decision.
If Qiuqiu doesn't want to, she can go buy two babies and send them in.
Qiuqiu rushed to agree, and said, "For the Emperor and the Crown Prince, she is willing to sacrifice her life."
She was also willing to take the initiative to enter the palace and pretend to be a wet nurse.
Only two children were allowed into the palace, and Qiuqiu was not allowed to enter.
Judging from Qiuqiu’s current reaction, she is obviously very dissatisfied.
Those words of loyalty are just misleading.
Thinking of the hidden thoughts that Qiuqiu had revealed before, Mei Niang's heart skipped a beat.
She waited patiently for Qiuqiu to settle the two children before calling her aside.
"You still can't let it go?" Your Highness the Crown Prince?
When asked this question, Qiuqiu's eyes turned red again.
