Chapter 187 Blessing
So, the round-faced, slightly plump maid led Aunt Qiu, Aunt Qiu led the court physician, the court physician led the medicine boy, and the medicine boy led a long list of guests, and they walked towards a courtyard in a mighty procession.
When they reached the door to the right side of the west wing, a plump maid with a round face lifted the door curtain and said, "The wife and daughter of the Changning Earl's Mansion are inside."
Just as Aunt Qiu was about to raise her foot, two men suddenly came into view.
The third prince and the crown prince of their palace.
The two of them were disheveled, their hair messy, and they hugged each other tightly, kissing each other passionately.
The female guest who followed over exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly turned her head away.
The male guest was dumbfounded.
The Third Prince and the Prince of Ping actually... have this kind of relationship?
No wonder I didn’t see Prince Ping in the mourning hall just now. It turns out he was hiding here and hanging out with the Third Prince.
Really...
The officials who had previously asked the emperor to establish a queen and wanted to help the imperial concubine and the third prince to the throne were disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly.
Ji Changqing calling the Third Prince a "peewe" was an understatement.
Such a morally corrupt, shameful, and obscene beast is not worthy of being called a human being!
Even if one hangs oneself in front of the steps of the ancestral temple, it will be a disgrace to the steps of the temple!
"Huh?"
The round-faced maid exclaimed and quickly lowered the door curtain.
"Sorry, we're in the wrong place. Madam Changning and the others are in the room on the left."
Aunt Qiu glared at the maid fiercely, not caring to teach the little bitch a lesson. She turned to the court doctor behind her and said, "Hurry up and show the Third Prince and the Crown Prince what's going on!"
The court doctor understood her implication, said hello, and walked into the house with the medicine boy.
He gave an injection to the Third Prince and the Prince of Heping, who were both completely absorbed in kissing, knocking them unconscious and helping them sit on a chair.
Then he went out and said, "They were drugged."
Aunt Qiu's expression changed drastically: "Psychedelic drugs?!"
"Someone actually took advantage of the funeral in our palace to drug the Third Prince and the Crown Prince! Come! Report this to the Prince and Princess, and have an immediate and thorough investigation!"
The servant took the order and left.
The plump maid with a round face reminded: "Mammy, the wife of the Earl of Changning and the others are still unconscious."
The guests' eyes flickered slightly.
Could it be that the women in the Changning Marquis’s Mansion fainted from anger?
It was said that the Third Prince had a special affection for the Second Daughter of the Earl of Changning and had specifically requested an imperial decree to grant their marriage, but now it seemed that was not entirely true.
Maybe it was because the Changning Marquis's mansion was not very prestigious and easy to control, so they chose the second daughter of the Changning Marquis.
Aunt Qiu glared at the round-faced, slightly plump maid again.
If today's incident had nothing to do with this maid, she would cut off her head and use it as a stool!
But now is not the time to worry about it.
She suppressed her anger and lifted the curtain to check in the left wing alone.
Seeing that the female members of the Changning Marquis's family were not unwell except for being unconscious, he hung the curtain and called the palace doctor in.
After checking their pulses, the court doctor said, "They've been drugged."
He immediately gave them acupuncture to wake them up.
He Qianqian woke up slowly, looked at the extra nanny in front of her and the men and women outside the door, and asked in confusion: "What... is going on?"
The guests all cast sympathetic glances at him.
He Qianqian's eyelids twitched.
He subconsciously looked down at his own clothes, then turned to look at his mother and grandmother, and found that there was nothing wrong, and the confusion in his eyes deepened a little.
Aunt Qiu said apologetically, "We had so many guests today that the servants were overwhelmed. We were careless and let a rogue in. He drugged and caused chaos, leaving several people unconscious. I'm truly sorry."
The old lady of the Earl of Changning: "!!!"
Lady Changning: "!!!"
He Qianqian: “!!!”
The three people's expressions changed drastically.
"We've been drugged? What drug?"
He Qianqian's heart was in her throat.
She had just been betrothed to the Third Prince. If someone was jealous of her and gave her a drug that would make her infertile, wouldn't her position as a prince's consort be in vain?
Aunt Qiu comforted them, "Don't worry, it's just a little knockout drug. Just drink more water and it will be fine."
How could He Qianqian feel at ease?
Who knows if Prince Ping's Mansion wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter and deliberately concealed the diagnosis results.
Even if they did not hide it, the court doctor's medical skills were limited and he might not be able to identify the medicine she was poisoned with.
As for the imperial physician...
Even if she could ask the imperial physician to treat her, would she dare to do so?
If you don’t invite them, you can still hide it, but if you invite them, you can’t hide anything.
She just came to pay her condolences, how could she be drugged?
"Mom, I'm scared."
She leaned on her mother's shoulder with red eyes.
No one knows a girl better than her mother.
The Lady of Changning understood her worries and took her into her arms, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, you are a very blessed person."
The guests had subtle expressions.
They can't afford such a blessing.
The old lady of the Earl of Changning glanced at Aunt Qiu coldly and said, "Your house must give us an explanation for this matter!"
Just as Aunt Qiu was about to reply, a male voice rang out, "Someone! Call the palace doctor!"
Everyone turned around.
Ji Changqing walked out from the east wing, lifting the curtain with an anxious look on his face.
Aunt Qiu hurriedly brought the court doctor to him and asked, "Master Ji, what's the matter?"
"My mother and sister-in-law are in a coma."
Ji Changqing said coldly.
"There's not even a single servant in the courtyard. Is this how you receive guests in your palace?"
Guests: “?!”
The women of the Ji family were also in this courtyard and were also knocked unconscious?
All the guests in the courtyard fainted, only the Third Prince and the Prince of Ping were not fainted... These two people would do anything to survive.
Aunt Qiu pinched her palm unconsciously.
The Changning Marquis' Mansion is easy to fool, but Prime Minister Ji is not so easy to fool...
She hurriedly took the court doctor into the east wing to rescue the women of the Ji family.
After Feng Qingsui woke up, he looked at Aunt Qiu coldly and said, "Is this how you treat guests? Putting knockout drugs in sour plum soup?"
Aunt Qiu said quickly, "This is all the work of the ruffians who sneaked into the mansion. We will definitely give you an explanation."
"It's not something a scoundrel would do."
Wuhua dragged a maid into the house.
"This maid has already confessed that it was your prince who ordered them to put drugs in the sour plum soup and barley tea."
Guests: “!!!”
They guessed right!
Aunt Qiu's expression changed slightly.
This maid from the Ji family...why does she look a bit like the maid who led the way just now?
The only difference was that the maid who led the way had thicker eyebrows, smaller eyes, a flatter mouth, a darker complexion, and a fatter waist...
When I think about it this way, I feel that the two of them have no similarities except for their face shape.
She had no time to think about it, and said with a stern face: "This is not the maid in our house."
The maid who was dragged over raised her face and said in a trembling voice, "Mammy, I am Xia Tao from the prince's courtyard, the housekeeper's youngest daughter."
The veins on Aunt Qiu's forehead were throbbing.
idiot!
Is this the time to reveal your identity?
"I don't remember the housekeeper having a little daughter like you."
She said coldly.
Then he looked at Wuhua: "Are you a maid of the Ji family? How come your old lady and madam are both unconscious, but you are awake?"
