Upon hearing this, the other palace maids all nodded heavily with red eyes.
Everyone knows that since the birth of the thirteenth prince, Concubine Shan's status has been close to that of Concubine Chen, and even they, the servants, have gained a lot of benefits from it.
Therefore, when taking care of the Thirteenth Prince on a daily basis, everyone treated him as their own eyes.
Concubine Shan wiped her tears and said, "Little Thirteen's birth wasn't as smooth as other children's, as you know, Princess. So, since Little Thirteen was born, I've been raising him with all my heart. He rarely even caught a cold, so how could he have contracted such a serious illness?"
Jiang Li saw Concubine Shan crying and pounding her chest with her fists, looking like she was about to faint.
"Your Highness, there's no need to worry too much. The Thirteenth Prince is not in danger for the time being." Jiang Li took another close look at the coating on the Thirteenth Prince's tongue. "You've taken good care of the Thirteenth Prince. His physique is indeed much stronger than other children of the same age."
Hearing this, Concubine Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Li with tears in her eyes, "If that's the case, how could it be... Please, Princess Jingling, save my little Thirteen."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best," Jiang Li said. "However, I have a question for you, Your Majesty. Has anyone new arrived in Yu'an Palace recently?"
"What do you mean, Princess?"
Although Concubine Shan has been favored since she entered the palace, she is also a true noble lady from an aristocratic family. In addition to how to gain favor, what her family taught her most before she got married was how to stay safe in this cannibalistic harem.
After hearing Jiang Li say this, Concubine Shan understood that what happened to Little Thirteen was definitely not a simple sudden emergency as the maid had said.
"If the people in Yu'an Palace are truly all the Imperial Concubine's confidants, then I would like to suggest that you take the trouble to conduct a thorough investigation."
Today is a palace banquet, and the emperor just wanted Concubine Shan to bring Little Thirteen to show his face in front of everyone. It just so happened that the child became so sick.
No matter how you look at it, this is the work of someone inside Yu'an Palace.
Jiang Li knew the cruelty of the harem struggle, but she despised the person who attacked her youngest son the most.
The person who went to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine box had not arrived yet. Jiang Li was wearing palace clothes today and had rushed here from Yongning Palace. If she took out the golden needle from the space at this moment, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, she just covered it with her sleeves, took out a porcelain bottle, broke the detoxification pill in half, dissolved it in water, and asked someone to feed it to Xiao Shisan first.
When Xiao Shisan's complexion recovered a little, Jiang Li asked Concubine Shan to send someone to get a new set of clothes for Xiao Shisan to change into.
I was sweating a lot at that time. If I didn't wipe and change the child's clothes quickly, I was afraid he would catch a cold again.
Concubine Shan had finally come to her senses. Because she preferred quietude and was simple-minded, she disliked trouble. Therefore, compared to other favored concubines, there weren't many people in Yu'an Palace. In particular, those who served her and Little Thirteen were all from her family, children who had come into the palace with her.
She originally thought that her Yu'an Palace was safe enough, but unexpectedly, she was still plotted against.
Concubine Shan stared at the people in front of her, looking at them one by one. By now, everyone had already realized that there was a thief in Yu'an Palace, and for a moment, everyone was in panic.
After thinking about it, he decided to let Yunying, the personal maid who grew up with him, change Xiao Shisan's clothes, but the whole process would be carried out in front of everyone.
"Princess, your medicine box."
The palace servant sent to fetch the medicine box finally arrived. Jiang Li took the medicine box and said to Concubine Shan, "Your Highness, please move to the side hall to rest. I need to treat the Thirteenth Prince and cannot be disturbed."
Xiao Shisan is too young. If Jiang Li delays any further, she is worried that there will be sequelae even if he is cured. She must use the power of the system as soon as possible.
Concubine Shan was stunned. To be honest, in her heart, she wanted to stay here to accompany Little Thirteen, but she knew that Jiang Li's medical rules were to send the emperor and the empress dowager to the side room, just like when she performed a caesarean section to deliver the child.
"Okay," Concubine Shan did not hesitate any longer and glanced at the maid beside her, "Yunying, help me out."
"Right," Jiang Li thought. Instead of going to the Dali Temple later, it would be better to tell Concubine Shan first. That way, she would have something to do while waiting outside and wouldn't have to worry too much about what was going on inside. "Your Highness, could you take this opportunity to find out who murdered the Thirteenth Prince?"
There were still traces of tears on Concubine Shan's face.
Hearing this, he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
It wasn't until he pinched himself with his hands that he breathed a sigh of relief. "The princess means that someone poisoned Little Thirteen..."
Seeing Jiang Li nod, Concubine Shan didn't ask any more questions. She suddenly seemed to have gained strength and walked out of the palace.
"Come here, bring here everyone who has come into contact with the Thirteenth Prince today."
After saying this, Concubine Shan turned around and bowed to Jiang Li, then let Yunying close the palace gate.
To survive in the harem, one naturally needs to have one's own set of methods.
Since Jiang Li clearly said it was poisoning, she knew how to investigate.
After the people outside left, Jiang Li locked the door from the inside. He then took a deep breath, stretched his joints, walked to the bed, looked at Little Thirteen and said, "Poor little guy, it's New Year's Day, and he has to endure all this for nothing."
…
An hour later, Jiang Li still didn't come out.
After Bai Zhi quietly told Xue Rou about the matter, she went to Yu'an Palace. Worried that Jiang Li might need her, she did not dare to go too far away and stayed at the door of the main room where Jiang Li was.
As for the side hall of Yu'an Palace at this time, it was filled with kneeling palace maids and servants. Concubine Shan was half leaning on the couch, no longer looking like a little white flower.
