Chapter 258: Can the sack be used?
"Sigh... If Grandpa knew that his most famous disciple had been poisoned, I wonder if he would be furious. Eh? If Grandpa cleans up the sect, then Bu Buxin's prepared sacks can be put to use, right?"
"Aunt Bi'er, do you know where the sacks that the housekeeper sent last time are? They're so big, each one can hold two brothers."
Bi'er looked at the pale-faced person and nodded with a suppressed smile: "I know, it's in the utility room in our yard. Aunt Bi'er will get it for you when we get back."
Jin Congcong: ...
Did Ruo'er give birth to a child? This little devil is a replica of her mother when she was a child. No, no, no... it's an enhanced version!
When the group returned to Qionghua Palace, the palace banquet had already come to an end.
"Dad, Mom, Bubu brought you some lanterns. This one's for Dad, this one's for Mom, this one's for my brother, this one's for my older brother, this one's for my great-grandfather, this one's for Aunt Meiying, this one's for Aunt Bi'er, and this one's for Uncle Cennan and Uncle Cenbei..."
Jin Congcong watched Bu Bu distribute all the lanterns in his hand and pointed at himself: "Where are the senior brothers'? Isn't there any for senior brothers?"
Bu Bu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother, you'd better stop playing with lanterns. It would be terrible if they catch fire and burn you."
Jin Congcong: ...
When the Beining envoy saw Jin Congcong and Bu Bu coming back together, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, our princess has not returned yet after going to change clothes. Please..."
Before the envoy could finish his words, a guard walked in quickly, carrying a woman who was soaking wet and only wearing her underwear.
"Your Majesty, this woman took off her clothes not far from your imperial study and was about to enter. I discovered her and she accidentally fell into the lotus pond while trying to escape. This is a serious matter, so I boldly brought her here."
The woman was thrown to the ground with her hair disheveled and soaked. Someone with sharp eyes exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this Princess Beining? Wasn't she going to change clothes? Why did she end up in the imperial study?"
Qi Lesheng also said seriously, "It really is Princess Beining. The Imperial Study is a very important place. A princess who married into a foreign country went outside the Imperial Study in a dishevel under the pretext of changing clothes... She is either plotting something bad against the Emperor or stealing something from the Imperial Study. Envoy Beining, how do you want to explain this?"
The Beining envoy was stunned by the scene before him. Didn't the princess say she could get Dr. Jin to agree to help? How could he appear outside the imperial study in dishevel and fall into the lotus pond?
This is not right. No matter how stupid their princess is, she would not seduce the emperor, let alone steal things from the imperial study during such a critical moment of a palace banquet.
Moreover, the emperor of the Great Zhou was already preparing to marry the queen. I heard that she was the daughter of a general whom he met outside a few years ago. The two had a very good relationship, but the emperor had not expressed his feelings because of his health and did not want to delay her.
His body had been almost recovered in the two years since he ascended the throne. Although it was difficult for him to have children, he was no different from a normal person in other aspects. But even so, the emperor had never touched the concubines who had entered the palace before.
After learning the truth, the general's daughter felt sorry for the emperor but did not despise him. Later, with the help of the Regent Princess, the two of them resolved their misunderstanding and had a good outcome. This emperor was a loyal person.
Therefore, their princess knew that being the Regent Princess was more advantageous than being the Imperial Consort. Only by becoming the Regent Princess and being pregnant could she gain a firm foothold in Beining with the help of the Regent King and coax the Regent King to help her seize the throne.
The emperor glanced at the smiling Bu Bu. Her revengeful nature was really just like that of the imperial aunt.
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, the envoy quickly stood up, not forgetting to take off his outer robe and cover the princess who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"Your Majesty, our princess really just went to change her clothes. As for why she appeared outside the imperial study... this must be a misunderstanding. We can only find out what happened when the princess wakes up."
Xiao Hanfei waved his hand and said, "Come here, ask the imperial physician to come over and see Princess Beining."
Soon, Dean Tang arrived. Those who can be imperial physicians are all skilled people, let alone the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
After checking, Dean Tang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Beining fell into the water, hit her head, and was frightened, which caused her to fall into a coma."
Xiao Hanfei nodded: "Is it possible to wake him up?"
"Your Majesty, yes, but... but..."
"Just what? Dean Tang, just tell me what you want."
Dean Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, although Princess Beining is no longer innocent, the place where I need to perform acupuncture is very... I ask Your Majesty to allow the female doctor to come and assist me."
There was an uproar in the hall, and the Beining envoy's face turned grim: "What are you talking about, old doctor? This is my Princess Beining. How can you casually accuse her of a pure body?"
Dean Tang snorted softly, "I have been in the palace for decades, often treating the ladies there. How could I not be able to tell whether a woman is innocent or not?"
"Your princess had a miscarriage not long ago. She didn't recuperate properly before going on the journey, which resulted in insufficient Qi and blood. Her body is seriously damaged. If the envoy doesn't believe me, I can go to any doctor on the street and ask him. It's impossible that all the doctors in Kyoto have been bribed by me."
A minister in the palace couldn't help but burst into anger and shouted, "Well, you Beining people, you actually sent a recently aborted and broken woman as a marriage alliance. You don't take our Great Zhou seriously at all. You are trampling on the face of our Great Zhou."
The envoy didn't know whether Guo Shuangwen had had a miscarriage, but seeing the confident look on Tang Yuanshou's face, he felt that this was probably true. If it was true, could he still go back?
"Your Majesty, please wake up our princess first. Everything will have to wait until our princess wakes up."
Xiao Hanfei nodded: "Come here, move the person to the side hall and ask the female doctor to wake him up."
The palace banquet that was about to end continued despite this farce, waiting for the result after Guo Shuangwen woke up.
Jin Congcong took advantage of this opportunity to approach Bu Ruo pitifully: "Ruo'er...Bu Bu said I was poisoned."
"Yeah, I see."
"Wow... So what she said was true. She actually poisoned me. She said that many princes of Beining died from this poison and there was no antidote. Ruo'er, am I going to die?"
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said unhappily, "The evil will live for a thousand years."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Ruo'er, I feel so uncomfortable now. My whole body feels uncomfortable. I can't breathe. I feel suffocated. Am I about to have a reaction from the poison?"
"Ruo'er, don't you know how to detoxify? You were able to detoxify the prince's most difficult poison back then. Can you..."
"cannot."
Jin Congcong: ...
