Dongfang Wen stepped forward and held Song Wanqing's hand. Looking at her pale face, a trace of worry flashed through her heart.
"Wan Qing, what happened?"
After he asked this question, the one who reacted more dramatically than him was the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Sixth Prince, what do you mean? My son has done something wrong to you, so you have to treat him like this."
When Dongfang Wen heard this, his face turned pale. The Duke of Zhenguo turned a blind eye and walked forward to kick away the servant who was pressing on Zhang Yaocheng.
He helped Zhang Yaowen up with heartache.
"Son, Dad is here. If you have been wronged, Dad will take care of it for you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him, and finally his gaze stopped on Duke Dingguo.
Duke Dingguo snorted coldly and said nothing.
Zhang Yaocheng didn't say anything, but kept making unbearable sounds in his throat.
Duke Dingguo noticed something was wrong, and the skin on his hand that had touched Zhang Yaocheng was very hot. He brushed away the hair that was covering his son's face, and a red face came into view.
He patted his son's face, but he was already delirious from the fever and couldn't wake up at all, so he suddenly turned his head.
"This is how Prince Wen's mansion entertains guests. They drug them."
Dongfang Wen was annoyed by the Duke of Zhenguo's attitude, and he stepped forward to refute him.
"When the Duke of Zhenguo speaks, he must provide evidence. Today is the auspicious day when my child turns one. I have no reason to do something so beneath my dignity."
"Besides, Prince Wen's mansion has invited many guests today, and they are all fine, so why did something happen to the Crown Prince?"
Song Wanqing then continued, "Don't be angry, Duke Zhenguo. Your Highness is right. Today is a happy occasion in our palace, and we didn't expect the prince to be in such a state."
"I've just sent for the palace doctor; he should be here soon."
Just as he finished speaking, the court physician from Prince Wen's mansion came trotting over, followed by a servant.
"House doctor, please take a look at the prince quickly and do your best to save him."
When Duke Dingguo saw the court physician coming, he carried Zhang Yaocheng into the room without any hesitation and settled him down. While the court physician was treating Zhang Yaowen, he returned to the yard.
"Now, my Lord and Princess, it's time for you to give me an explanation, otherwise this matter will never end."
Dongfang Wen was filled with anger at the Duke of Zhenguo’s aggressive attitude.
He was just a dandy who was not worthy of being in public, but the Duke of Zhenguo did not care about his face or the face of the palace in front of so many people.
Dongfang Wen suppressed her emotions and turned to look at Song Wanqing. She arrived here first and knew the situation here better than she did.
Song Wanqing understood Dongfang Wen's meaning at a glance. Under the ferocious gaze of Duke Dingguo, how could she say that she didn't know the situation?
When I came over, the scene was in chaos, and I was still shocked and hadn't recovered from it.
Dongfang Wen calmed herself down and controlled her facial expression.
"We will investigate thoroughly. If it was a mistake made by the palace, we will apologize. If it was a problem with your prince, who ruined the banquet at Prince Wen's palace today, please give an explanation, Duke Zhenguo."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked a few steps towards Duke Dingguo.
"Mr. Chen, this happened because of the palace's negligence. I will come with you to apologize after the matter is clear."
Song Wanqing also wanted to know how things turned out like this. Chen Queyang was not in their plan at all, but he appeared here and almost became another protagonist in the room.
Song Sanniang, who was supposed to be here, is still nowhere to be found.
Duke Dingguo thought for a moment. He knew what kind of person Duke Zhenguo was. He was vindictive and petty. If they couldn't figure out the whole story, they would not have an easy time today and in the future.
In the end, he moved aside, revealing Chen Queyang.
Chen Queyang gritted his teeth and stood up. "Whatever the prince and princess want to ask, I will tell them everything I know. It's just that I was involved accidentally."
Song Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Queyang was willing to cooperate, and quickly asked.
"Why are Master Chen and Master Zhang here in this courtyard? The guests are all in Lanfang Garden in the front yard, which is quite a distance from here."
What Song Wanqing didn't say was that she had instructed her servants not to come here from the time she arranged the banquet until it was over, so that they could do other things.
Chen Queyang laughed awkwardly, "I drank a little at the banquet and felt a little bored, so I wanted to find a corner to sober up."
When Song Wanqing heard this, his face turned pale.
Chen Queyang felt a little uneasy when he saw this, but he didn't stop and continued, "I unknowingly walked to the gate of the garden and saw a maid and a man pulling each other towards the backyard. They were acting suspiciously, and I don't know why, but I subconsciously followed them."
"When I turned the corner, I saw the maid from before with her clothes in disarray. She ran away from me in a panic. I followed the direction she came from and saw that the door of the room was open and there was movement inside."
As Chen Queyang spoke, he felt that his fate was his own fault. Curiosity killed the cat, which was indeed the truth. He was innocent.
Everyone present focused their attention on Chen Queyang and listened to him attentively.
Chen Queyang continued with a look of despair, "Just as I approached, the door suddenly opened, and I looked over and it was Zhang Yaocheng."
He paused, "He seemed to have taken drugs and had lost his mind. Before I could react, he rushed towards me. By the time I reacted, he was too strong. I had no choice but to hold on to the pillar and shout for help."
Chen Queyang had a look of despair on his face after he finished speaking. Thinking about how so many people had just seen his embarrassing scene, he now recalled it to everyone again.
Everyone is destined to die, but one cannot die socially. It would be fine if he died socially once, but now he is jumping back and forth.
"puff!"
Ping'an Hou, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this. Seeing Chen Queyang's embarrassed and angry look, he quickly waved his hands.
"Nephew Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to laugh at you. I just..."
He thought about it for a while but couldn't find an excuse, so he finally avoided Chen Queyang's gaze like covering his ears and stealing the bell.
When Song Wanqing heard Chen Queyang talking about the suspicious maid, her eyes flashed and then disappeared quickly. She knew who the maid was, after all, she was the one arranged by her.
After hearing this, Dongfang Wen immediately asked Chongzheng to find the person.
After hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo said nothing. His eyes stayed on Dongfang Wen with an inexplicable expression. No one present could guess what he was thinking.
Duke Dingguo noticed that Duke Zhenguo's eyes were not right, so he took his foolish boy behind him.
"So, this kid of mine has suffered a completely unprovoked disaster."
Dongfang Wen was about to say something when someone came out and said something in surprise.
"The prince has woken up."
The Duke of Zhenguo heard it and turned into the room.
The rest of the people looked at each other, but decided to wait at the door.
To be honest, they had just witnessed Zhang Yaocheng's behavior, and since he had a bad reputation, they didn't want to go in, in case they saw something they shouldn't see.
Huh~
They did not move. Dongfang Wen, his master, had an accident in his own house, and he could not just ignore it. He could only follow the Duke of Zhenguo and go in.
