Chapter 179 The Third Prince is Poisoned
Suddenly, Lan Ying came in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, Madam, something terrible has happened! The Third Prince has suddenly fallen ill and has developed a lot of red rashes all over his body. They are so dense that even his face is covered with them. It's all red and itchy."
"The Third Prince was so uncomfortable that he kept scratching his face with his hands. Many red marks appeared on his face. When Aunt Cui saw this, she did not dare to delay for a moment and kept trying to stop him. However, the Third Prince could not stand the itch and kept crying!"
Shen Yuning's face turned pale, her beautiful eyes were filled with panic, and she asked anxiously, "Have you called the imperial physician?"
"Yes, Madam, the imperial physician is on the way and will be here soon!"
Shen Yuning was extremely anxious and hurriedly got up from Quan Minghe's legs, her voice trembling a little: "Your Majesty, let's go see the Third Prince!"
Quan Minghe was calm, no matter what happened, it was a small matter in front of him. ×
Besides, if I lose my composure, it will only make her more uneasy.
He comforted her, "Okay, don't worry, the imperial physician has been invited, and everything will be fine."
He took Shen Yuning's hand and walked towards the third prince's bedroom.
As soon as the two entered the bedroom, they heard the third prince crying at the top of his lungs.
She was anxious, let go of Quan Minghe's hand, and ran to the bed and sat down.
I saw Nanny Cui sitting by the bed, holding the Third Prince's hand tightly, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Seeing His Majesty and His Majesty coming, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really dare not let go, otherwise the Third Prince will scratch hard and hurt his skin. I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will forgive me for my impoliteness."
Shen Yuning was so anxious that she didn't care about these details.
Without thinking, he asked, "Why did the Third Prince suddenly act like this? Have his meals and clothes been carefully checked today?!"
Madam Cui quickly responded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have sent everything that the Third Prince touched today to the Imperial Hospital for examination, but we will have to wait a while for the results."
Quan Minghe walked to the bedside, and Shen Yuning seemed to have found support. She hugged his waist with red eyes.
She sobbed softly, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the Third Prince, so he suffered like this."
Quan Minghe stroked her hair lovingly and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay. It's common for children to get sick. The doctor will be here soon and will surely cure the disease."
As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Zhou walked into the hall.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Quan Minghe looked solemn: "Come quickly and see what the Third Prince's illness is."
Shen Yuning walked away from the bed, while Nanny Cui remained at the bedside, holding the Third Prince's hand, which was moving restlessly due to discomfort.
Inside the bedroom, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it, and everyone's eyes were on the imperial physician and the third prince.
When the imperial physician was taking the pulse of the third prince, Concubine Liu rushed in with a panicked look on her face.
As soon as she entered the palace, she saw His Majesty holding Shen Yuning in his arms. The two of them stood side by side beside the bed, staring at the Third Prince.
Her third prince was so miserable at the moment, but these two people acted as if no one was around, showing their deep affection.
In an instant, Liu Shihan's heart was filled with anger.
Your Majesty is the biological father of the Third Prince. How could you be so indifferent when your son is suffering?
But Liu Shihan could only suppress all emotions and showed only worry on her face.
"Your Majesty, when I heard that the Third Prince had invited the imperial physician, I was extremely anxious and did not dare to delay for a moment. I rushed here immediately."
"How is the third prince?"
"The imperial physician has just come and is treating the patient. You shouldn't worry too much." Quan Minghe frowned slightly and said softly.
Liu Shihan took a few steps forward and approached the Third Prince who was lying on the couch.
The Third Prince's body was flushed red, perhaps because he was too tired from crying just now. He had fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, but there were still crystal tears in the corners of his eyes, and his pink little face was covered with scratches, looking particularly pitiful.
Before coming here, Liu Shihan already knew that the Third Prince had suffered such a disaster today, but when she saw her son in this state, she couldn't help but feel her eyes red and tears welled up in her eyes.
After all, as a mother, how can you not feel sorry for your children?
"My Third Prince, how did you suddenly become like this? You have only been in Yaohua Palace for a short time, wuwu..."
Liu Shihan burst into tears, which was very touching.
But implicit in his words was the blame on the emperor and empress.
Instantly, she turned around, pointed her finger at Shen Yuning, and angrily accused: "Empress Dowager, I entrusted the Third Prince to you for upbringing, is this how you take care of him? Since the Third Prince was born, when has he ever suffered so much?"
Hearing Liu Shihan's accusations, Shen Yuning felt more and more uncomfortable, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
She couldn't help but tightly grasp the corner of Quan Minghe's sleeve, her lips trembling slightly, but she didn't say a word in the end.
Quan Minghe frowned, looking unhappy: "Liu Zhaoyi, this matter has not been concluded yet, and it has nothing to do with the emperor and empress. Please let the imperial physician finish the diagnosis first, and then make a conclusion."
Liu Shihan wiped the tears from her face. Although she was unwilling, she could only stand aside for the time being and said nothing more.
Shen Yuning would pretend to be so pitiful!
After Imperial Doctor Zhou finished his diagnosis, he said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince seems to have been poisoned."
"Poisoned?!"
Quan Minghe's face suddenly froze, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Murdering the prince is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!
When Liu Shihan heard this, she was like an enraged female beast, and pointed at Shen Yuning again with a frown on her face.
She shouted angrily, "Empress, are you the one who cruelly plotted to murder my Third Prince? Although you are not his biological mother, he is still young. How could you be so cruel!"
Shen Yuning was shocked when she heard the word "poisoning".
She choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I treat the Third Prince as my own son and would never murder him. Your Majesty must trust me."
Quan Minghe's eyes were as sharp as ice knives as he looked at Liu Shihan: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will never let go of the mastermind behind it, but I will not allow you to slander the emperor and empress at will."
Liu Shihan cried even more bitterly, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances: "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the safety of the Third Prince. I cannot suppress the grief in my heart."
"I first experienced the pain of separation from the Third Prince, and now I have to endure the pain of the Emperor's son being poisoned. I beg Your Majesty not to protect the Emperor and Empress, and give me justice!"
Just at this moment, several imperial doctors hurried over. They were all people with superb medical skills in the palace.
This time, he was responsible for checking the Third Prince's clothes, bowls, chopsticks, meals and a series of other personal items.
One of the doctors stepped forward and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, I and the other doctors have carefully checked the Third Prince's personal belongings and found nothing wrong."
Liu Shihan's eyes rolled, and she immediately spoke again: "These personal belongings of the Third Prince have always been accessible only to people from the Yaohua Palace. Who knows if they have done anything special with them?"
At this time, Doctor Zhou, who had been prescribing medicine for the Third Prince by the bed and continued to carefully examine his entire body, also reported: "Your Majesty, Madam, no traces of drug residue were found on the Third Prince's body."
"But the whole body has rashes, and the wounds on the face have shown signs of festering. Such symptoms can be caused by several poisonous plants. The detoxification method is not difficult, but it is not easy to identify the specific drug that caused it."
Liu Shihan was secretly proud of himself.
Furong, who was sent to the palace by her father, is really capable.
As long as Shen Yuning cannot shake off the suspicion, she will be identified as the murderer by everyone.
Tomorrow, she only needs to cry bitterly and then pretend to faint, which will surely lead the court officials to seek justice for her and the third prince.
Even if Your Majesty intends to protect Shen Yuning, you must return the third prince to her.
Moreover, if Your Majesty is determined to protect Shen Yuning, then Shen Yuning as the empress will definitely not satisfy the court officials.
I don’t know if Shen Yuning can withstand the criticism from court officials and the people!
Since Shen Yuning entered the palace, she has been defeated every time she clashed with Shen Yuning.
And this time, she is finally going to beat Shen Yuning!
