Chapter 23: Was it the Sixth Princess who poisoned him?

Pei Chuyan felt that he had betrayed Concubine Chen's trust and let little Lu Xingwan suffer such torture. He stayed by Lu Xingwan's bedside all day and all night and refused to rest.

But after a day and a night passed, Lu Xingwan's fever still did not subside.

At dawn the next day, Concubine Ning arrived.

Because Concubine Ning had just entered the palace, Concubine Chen didn't know her very well, so she was a little more cautious and received her with great caution.

"Your Highness," Concubine Ning knelt down and greeted Concubine Chen, and then spoke, "I heard in the palace that Princess Yong'an had a rash and is now running a fever."

After saying this, he looked towards Concubine Chen Gui, as if testing her.

But she spoke sincerely: "I have learned some medical knowledge in the past. Why don't you let me take a look at it for the princess? After all, there are many ways out."

Concubine Chen Guifei was still in doubt.

Ningpin seemed to see Concubine Chen Guifei's worry, and said, "Your Majesty, please invite Doctor Zhao to come. If I am wrong, please let Doctor Zhao correct me in time."

Hearing Concubine Ning say this, Concubine Chen nodded and ordered Jinyu to invite Doctor Zhao.

Since Concubine Ning took the initiative to ask for the reins, I think she must have some skills.

When Concubine Ning was examining Lu Xingwan, Pei Chuyan was very worried and stood at the end of the bed, staring at Concubine Ning's movements without blinking.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning turned around and looked at Concubine Chen Gui: "It's poison."

"What?" Concubine Chen was naturally frightened. She thought she had protected Wanwan well enough in the palace, but she didn't expect that Wanwan would still be harmed by someone.

After hearing this, Lu Xingwan started mumbling to himself again.

[What a sin... What kind of fate do I have? When I ascended to heaven, I was secretly plotted against and reborn as a baby. As a result, I am still not at peace as a baby. I have been constantly being plotted against since I was born.]

[Ah, it’s still my fault that I’m too good. 】

Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Wanwan's words. This little girl was so narcissistic.

"Don't panic, your majesty. This poison is very easy to cure. I'll go back and prepare the medicine." Without waiting for Concubine Chen to say anything, she rushed out with her maid.

Leaving a room full of people.

Concubine Chen: "So Concubine Ning has such an impetuous personality?"

Not long after, Concubine Ning came back with the medicine.

"Your Majesty, this medicine is a medicinal bath. Just let Princess Yong'an take a bath once, and the rash on her body will disappear. Once the rash disappears, the fever will also subside."

After that, he handed the medicine in his hand to Dr. Zhao who was standing beside him and said, "Please take a look at this medicine to see if there is any problem."

Doctor Zhao didn't know whether he should take the medicine for a moment, but unexpectedly, Concubine Ning stuffed the medicine into his hands. He looked up at Concubine Chen, and when he saw her nod, he opened the medicine and examined it carefully.

"They are all herbs that are good for babies. They don't have much effect. But if you say they are used to detoxify, I don't understand."

Concubine Chen did not hesitate any longer. She told Jinxin and Jinyu to prepare things, and then she gave Lu Xingwan a medicinal bath.

Unexpectedly, this medicinal bath was so effective. After Lu Xingwan soaked in it for a while, all the rashes on his body disappeared. Concubine Chen Guifei hurried forward to touch him and found that the fever had also subsided.

I shouted in surprise: "It actually works."

He then instructed Jinxin and Jinyu to take good care of Lu Xingwan, walked out of the inner room quickly, and took Ningpin's hand.

"Thank you so much, sister. Thanks to you, I don't have to suffer so much every night."

Ningpin was polite: "Princess Yong'an is the lucky star of our Great Chu State. It is my honor to be able to help Princess Yong'an."

"It's just..." Concubine Ning was indeed hesitant.

Concubine Chen thought that Concubine Ning wanted to ask for something, so she quickly said, "Sister Ning, please tell me what you want. As long as I can do it..."

But before she could finish her words, Concubine Ning interrupted her: "The princess is not suffering from an allergy this time. If it is poisonous, it must have a source. We still need to investigate it carefully."

Pei Chuyan, who had been standing by, finally spoke up: "My Lady, I'll go."

Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen Gui could only nod in agreement. If it could make Master Pei feel at ease, it would not be a problem to let him investigate.

Concubine Chen thanked Concubine Ning profusely and sent her away. Then she called Meiying and Lanying in and asked them to investigate Wanwan's poisoning together.

Then he returned to the inner room.

Lu Xingwan is now fully recovered. The fever of the past two days had exhausted her. Now that she felt better, she fell into a deep sleep.

Concubine Chen Guifei sat beside her, just accompanying her quietly.

In less than an hour, they heard a commotion outside and Lu Xingwan was woken up.

Jin Xin rushed in hurriedly: "My queen, Prince Pei is back, and... and the Sixth Princess."

What Jinxin didn't say was that the Sixth Princess was brought here by Prince Pei.

Seeing Jinxin coming in a hurry, Concubine Chen Guifei hurriedly got up and prepared to go out and take a look.

But Lu Xingwan behind him started crying.

[Mother, mother, I want to see it too, please take me there! ]

Concubine Chen sighed helplessly: "Come with Wanwan in your arms."

As for the eldest prince and the second prince, they heard from the palace servants that Prince Pei had dragged the Sixth Princess out of his own palace. No matter how the Sixth Princess struggled, he took her all the way to Qingyun Palace.

They hurried out of the palace and headed straight for Qingyun Palace, fearing that Pei Chuyan would do something irreversible.

Although the Sixth Princess' biological mother, Cui, has been punished by the emperor, she is still his daughter after all.

When Concubine Chen Gui came out, Pei Chuyan was still carrying the Sixth Princess.

She hurried forward to stop him: "Prince Pei, please put it down quickly, don't hurt the Sixth Princess."

However, Lu Xingwan, who was still in Jin Xin's arms behind him, was laughing like crazy.

[Hahahahahahaha, isn't this Prince Pei too bold? I'm afraid there's no one else in the palace who dares to carry a princess.]

[No matter how arrogant and domineering the Sixth Princess was in the past, it is useless for her to be treated like a little chicken.]

[You are awesome, Prince Pei. I thought you survived with your brain, but I didn't expect you to be such a brave person.]

Pei Chuyan threw the Sixth Princess to the ground and snorted coldly: "When she poisoned Princess Yong'an, why wasn't she afraid of hurting Princess Yong'an?"

The eldest prince and the second prince met each other and exchanged glances. They knew why each other came, so there was no pretense. They just greeted each other and headed straight for Qingyun Palace without stopping.

As soon as the two entered the Qingyun Palace, they saw Pei Chuyan throwing the sixth princess to the ground.

The second prince hurriedly stepped forward and embraced the sixth princess: "Xing Hui, how are you?"

The eldest prince also spoke up: "Chu Yan, what made you so impulsive?"

This statement was naturally an excuse for Pei Chuyan. If the emperor asked about it, he could just say that Pei Chuyan acted impulsively and receive less punishment.

But what Pei Chuyan said shocked them: "Concubine Chen, it was the Sixth Princess who poisoned Princess Yong'an, causing her to break out in rashes and have a high fever for days."
