Chapter 406: Xiao Jinyan's anger frightened the baby, and the emperor was heartbroken

Xiao Jinyan doesn't believe that poisonous insects would crawl onto the baby's body for no reason, and Xiaojiu was also infected with poisonous insects.

He slammed the table angrily, "Where did you take the baby to play? Tell the truth!"

The wet nurses were trembling with fear.

Susu was tired from crying and was about to fall asleep, but this slap woke her up immediately. She grabbed Chunxi's sleeve, raised her head and looked at her father in confusion.

Shen Chuwei saw her daughter's reaction from the corner of her eye and kicked Xiao Jinyan's leg, "Keep your voice down, you scared your daughter."

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at his daughter, only to see her staring at him with a puzzled look on her face. He soothed her, "Be good, Susu. Father is catching the bad guys."

How could Susu understand what Xiao Jinyan said? She pouted her pink little mouth and said, "Daddy..."

Ever since Xiao Jinyan knew that "dad" meant "father king", he was extremely happy when he heard his daughter calling him "daddy".

"Father, please keep your voice down."

Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and looked at Xiaojiu first, only to see that she was still looking for the poisonous insect, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"I'll help you."

Shen Chuwei said: "The blood of poisonous insects is corrosive. If you accidentally crush it, it will be the end."

How could Xiao Jinyan dare to take action after hearing this?

"Then you should do it yourself, it will be more sensible."

"This is the only way." Shen Chuwei gritted his teeth and continued to look for the poisonous insect.

Just as Xiao Jinyan was about to continue questioning the wet nurses, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the door, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Seeing his father coming, Xiao Jinyan turned to look at Shen Chuwei and said, "I will go out to receive the driver first, don't panic."

"I know." Shen Chuwei lowered her head and looked at her arm, continuing to look for bugs.

Xiao Jinyan stood up and walked out, and saw his father had already arrived at the door. He stepped forward to greet him: "Father."

When the emperor saw the prince, he asked in a deep voice, "I heard that the babies are not feeling well. What is going on?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "My father, the babies are infected with poisonous insects. Not only the babies, but also the Crown Princess and the wet nurse are infected with poisonous insects. This poisonous insect is very powerful and likes to burrow into people's skin. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this and asked immediately, "How are the babies? Have you called a doctor?"

Xiao Jinyan was surprised that he did not call Doctor Wen Yu over, because after knowing that Xiaojiu had medical skills, he rarely called Doctor Wen Yu.

"Don't worry, Father. The poisonous bugs in the babies' bodies have been taken out. There is no serious problem for the time being. However, the poisonous bugs in the Crown Princess' body have not been taken out yet."

The emperor said, "I will ask someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to call Doctor Yu to go in and check on the babies first."

Xiao Jinyan went in with the emperor, and Shen Chuwei was in the inner room.

The babies had been carried to the couch outside. Because of Xiao Jinyan's pat and the fright just now, the two babies were now very sober.

When the emperor came in and saw Tao Su, he couldn't wait to stretch out his arms to her. He said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, can you give me a hug?"

Although Susu is only six months old, she knows who is good to her. The emperor often comes to hug her, so when Susu sees the emperor, she happily reaches out for a hug.

The emperor was very happy when he saw his granddaughter reaching out to him for a hug. He picked up Susu and looked at her red eyes from crying, feeling very distressed.

"Susu is so cute, how could Du Chong bear to have a baby?"

It was hard for Xiao Jinyan not to agree with his father. Taosu was so adorable, how could anyone have the heart to do that?

"This kind of poisonous insect has never appeared in the East Palace. I guess someone did it on purpose."

The emperor's eyes turned cold when he heard this: "Who dares to hurt Susu? I will never show mercy to her."

Xiao Jinyan replied: "I don't know yet, I'm investigating."

The emperor said angrily: "Then investigate immediately. I want to see who dares to harm Tao Su."

Now whenever we mention the two babies, we always call them Taosu.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his brows and nodded, "I will definitely find out who dared to do this."

The emperor held Susu in his arms and was reluctant to let her go, so he teased her.

Xiao Jinyan walked into the inner room and saw Shen Chuwei still dealing with the poisonous insects. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped the sweat for her while asking.

"How is it? Have you found the poisonous insect?"

"It's almost there. I've found it." Shen Chuwei used tweezers to grab the black poisonous insect. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally I got it out."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the wound on her arm caused by a blade. Although the wound was small, he still felt sad when he saw it.

"I will bandage it for you."

Shen Chuwei has already spent a lot of energy and strength looking for poisonous insects, so it would be better if someone could bandage it for him.

"good."

Xiao Jinyan took out a window sticker from the medicine box. Xiaojiu said that it was specially prepared for minor wounds and was very practical.

It didn't take long to put on a few band-aids.

Shen Chuwei picked up the teacup on the low table and took a few sips of water before she felt relieved.

Xiao Jinyan saw that she looked a little bad, and explained the harm of poisonous insects. No wonder Tao Su cried so hard.

"I feel like something is fishy. I'm afraid someone is trying to harm Taosu on purpose."

When Shen Chuwei heard that someone was deliberately harming her baby, she immediately became unhappy, "Your Highness, who could it be?"

Xiao Jinyan brushed the hair off her forehead and said, "We don't know yet. You can take a rest first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Shen Chu nodded, "Whoever dares to hurt Tao Su must not be let off."

Xiao Jinyan said: "I will."

When Doctor Yu came, he examined Tao Su carefully.

After the emperor confirmed again and again that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor watched Susu in his arms fall asleep after playing tiredly. Her little look was so adorable.

"Susu is so cute."

The emperor was reluctant to let go of Susu, but unfortunately he was the king of a country and was busy with state affairs every day, so he couldn't hold Susu all the time.

He carefully put Susu into the crib and said, "Grandpa, please go and get busy first. I will come to see you when I am free."

The emperor reluctantly withdrew his gaze, left the East Palace, and went directly to the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother had just woken up from a nap and was drinking the tea that Wanxin had freshly brewed.

The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Mother, I just came back from the East Palace. The babies are indeed not feeling well and they kept crying. Their eyes are red from crying. It makes sense that the Crown Princess doesn't allow me to hold them. She's afraid that it will disturb you."

The Queen Mother became even angrier after hearing this. "Is it so serious? How can the Crown Princess be a mother?"

The emperor explained, "Mother, the Crown Princess cannot hold the babies all the time. Aren't they all taken care of by the wet nurses? The Crown Princess is not feeling well either."

"In my opinion, the Crown Princess is an unqualified mother. Why does the Emperor like to protect such a woman?" The Queen Mother thought of what the Empress had done and still felt that Concubine Xu was more suitable to be the Empress.

The emperor guessed what the queen mother meant when he heard it, "Mother, you have just returned to the palace. When you spend more time with the crown princess, you will know that she is a very good child and the queen likes her very much."

Although the Queen Mother was old, she reacted quickly, "Did the Emperor make her the Crown Princess because the Queen liked her?"

The emperor explained, "It's not entirely the queen's fault. I hope the babies are legitimate and not illegitimate. Besides, although the Crown Princess doesn't have a prominent family background, she is still a good person. I believe in the queen's vision."

The Queen Mother snorted, "In the imperial family, the former court and the harem are closely connected, and the future empress is particularly important. I heard that the Crown Prince only favors the Crown Princess, and the other women in the Eastern Palace don't even have the chance to see the Crown Prince. No wonder he has only two children after more than two years of taking concubines."

The emperor rubbed his temples and felt a headache. "What the queen mother said makes sense. I will urge the prince to be fair and have children."

"What's the point of just urging him? We need to make the prince take actual action."

"I understand."

The emperor came out of Cining Palace and took a deep breath. If he had a way to make sure the prince would get equal treatment, would he have waited until now?

No, we have to deal with business quickly. We have to go to Fengyi Palace tonight. As long as he refuses to leave, the Queen can't do anything to him!

The emperor went straight to Yu's study to handle government affairs.

After the emperor left, the empress dowager had a frown on her face.

Wan Xin smiled and consoled her: "Your Majesty, I have prepared some fresh flower cakes. You will definitely feel better after eating them."

"You still understand me." The Queen Mother took Wanxin's hand and suddenly asked, "How about I marry you to the Crown Prince? You can be a concubine."

Wanxin lowered her eyes and said shyly, "Queen Mother, I can't bear to leave you. You are like my own grandmother. I want to spend more time with you and not rush to get married."

The Queen Mother was very happy when she heard this. "Silly child, if you marry into the palace, you can come and accompany me often."

Wan Xin gave a gentle and somewhat mischievous smile: "But I just want to be by the Queen Mother's side all the time and serve her."

The Queen Mother happily responded, "Then wait a little longer."

Shen Chuwei woke up after sleeping for an hour and went to see Tao Su first.

Tao Su had also woken up by now, and was sitting in her crib, having a lot of fun playing with a snowball. Children's happiness was simple and easily satisfied, as if the insect bite had never happened.

Susu grabbed Xuetuan's tail and dragged her to her side, mumbling with her pink little mouth: "Mom...Mom..."

Xuetuan called out: "Meow"

Shen Chuwei couldn't help laughing when she saw this, "Susu is getting better and better at calling me mom."

Seeing Tao Su and the others playing, she took out the glass bottle and began to study the black poisonous insects inside.

Concubine Xue had been waiting for news. When she saw Shui Yao walking in quickly, she didn't even have time to drink her tea. "Are they all dying?"

"Princess, I haven't heard the news. The emperor has come and just left. It doesn't look like anything has happened. His Highness is investigating the matter thoroughly." Shui Yao said.

Concubine Xue held the teacup tightly in her hand, her eyes full of unwillingness: "If such a poisonous insect burrows into the skin and is not taken out in time, they will surely die. There is no way they are still alive."

Shui Yao was also very confused, "But I see that the Hehuan Palace is the same as usual, there is nothing unusual."

"Princess, why don't you wait and see, there will definitely be good news."

"This is the only way." Concubine Xue Ce frowned. Now all they could do was wait. She didn't believe that Shen Chuwei and the two children were so lucky.

Side room

The nurses have been restless ever since the babies got into trouble. They feel scared and confused at the same time.

"We didn't go anywhere else today, so how did we get infected with poisonous insects?"

"I was wondering too. The young masters have always been held in our arms. Normally, we wouldn't dare to hold them."

"Fortunately, the young masters are all fine, otherwise we would have been buried with them."

"That's right. Now that I think about it, my hands and feet are all weak."

The nurse seemed to remember something: "Could it be related to Shui Yao? She can give flowers to the babies, but she hasn't met anyone else."
