Chapter 46 Asking Yu Mengqing for Poison
Then Yu Mengqing winked at Caiyue, obviously telling her to clean up the mess herself.
Caiyue has spent the longest time with Yu Mengqing, so naturally she understands what she means.
"Sister, can we really go back to Prince Zhan's Mansion with you? Will anyone bully us there?" Yu Mengruo asked.
She was quite precocious and had heard from the servants before that her elder sister was not living well in Prince Zhan's mansion, so she was so worried.
Yu Mengqing touched her head and said in a comforting and promising tone, "Don't worry, from now on, no one will be able to bully you and your sister."
Not only did she have to keep her promise and protect them both, she also had to let them grow up to become people respected by everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom.
War Palace.
"Have you found out?" Chu Shiheng asked.
"I am incompetent!" Zeng Zhaoming said ashamedly.
Just as the princess said, the plague was indeed released intentionally by someone.
Now the person who released the poison has even been caught, but no matter how they tortured and interrogated him, he never uttered a single word.
"There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should tell you or not?" Zeng Zhaoming said.
"speak!"
"Aunt Juan has captured a maid named Xiaoqing, saying she was a first-class maidservant to the Prime Minister's wife. I don't know why she appeared in the Bihua Courtyard. Today, Aunt Juan even brought her to visit the princess, but the princess has been staying at the Prime Minister's residence and hasn't returned yet, so..."
"Oh? There is such a thing? In that case, Luo Lijuan has been subdued by the princess?" Chu Shiheng said, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.
"My Lord, it is said that the princess fed Aunt Juan and Xiaoju a poison, causing them to..."
At this point, Zeng Zhaoming finally realized what Chu Shiheng meant by this. "Prince, do you mean to ask the princess for help?"
Chu Shiheng didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly showed that he was asking Zeng Zhaoming: Besides finding the princess, do you have any other way to make him speak?
Of course he knew that Yu Mengqing fed poison to Luo Lijuan, but so what?
"I understand. When the princess returns, I will go find her immediately."
"No need, I'm here with the princess. You just need to watch them and make sure they don't die so easily." Chu Shiheng said
Chu Shiheng also guessed that this epidemic incident would not be that simple.
At first he thought it was directed at himself, but now it seems not to be the case. Instead, it seems to be directed at the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
If this is the case, then it is obvious that even if the poison is detoxified this time, there will be next time, and the next time.
The most effective method is to eradicate it completely and find out the person who poisoned it so that the root of the problem can be eliminated.
Guessing that Yu Mengqing should be back soon, Chu Shiheng stood up and walked towards Liuliyuan.
But when I walked to the Liuli Courtyard, I found that there was no one inside, and I felt a little worried for a moment.
Normally, it wouldn't take her that long to deal with such a small matter.
So he turned around again and walked quickly towards the entrance of Prince Zhan's mansion.
At this time, Chu Shiheng didn't know what he was worried about. He only knew that he didn't want anything to happen to Yu Mengqing.
He thought that his army still needed medical skills like hers, and the Great Xia Kingdom still needed her diagnostic and treatment methods, which was why they were so anxious.
So Chu Shiheng comforted himself over and over again in his heart.
Little did he know that in his heart, a seed of love had already been secretly planted...
But before he reached the door, Chu Shiheng heard Yu Mengqing's cold voice.
"Bringing you here is already the greatest gift I can give you. If you are still not satisfied, then something even more terrifying will be waiting for you."
"Princess, I will never dare to do that again. If you don't take me in, I will die." Xiaoxiang pleaded.
"So? Is it related to me? When you attacked Nanny Li, you deserved to die. I was able to bring you here, but whether you can survive depends on your own luck. Get lost!"
Yu Mengqing was not wrong. She brought Xiaoxiang to Prince Zhan's Mansion on purpose. If Xiaoxiang could do it, she would leave naturally.
So when Feng Peizhi's people saw Xiaoxiang's calm look, they would have thought twice before taking action, because this was Xiaoxiang's chance to escape.
It’s a pity that Xiaoxiang was too greedy. She even hoped that Yu Mengqing would forgive her.
Not to mention that the person she attacked was Nanny Li, even if it was someone Yu Mengqing didn't know, she would not forgive such a person who treated human life as dirt.
Seeing Xiaoxiang sitting on the ground in a daze, Yu Mengqing slowly turned around and saw Chu Shiheng, "What's the matter? Is there something urgent, Your Majesty?"
Although Yu Mengqing was talking to Xiaoxiang, as a senior agent, she had very sensitive perception.
She had noticed Chu Shiheng the moment he appeared, but she just ignored him.
And judging from his expression, he seemed to have something urgent to do, so she didn't bother him any further.
This was the first time she saw him so anxious. Yu Mengqing guessed that something very important must have happened.
However, seeing that he seemed to be waiting for her again, Yu Mengqing finally asked.
As Chu Shiheng looked her up and down, Yu Mengqing asked again, "Did the epidemic find out anything? If you need any help, just let me know!"
After thinking about it, Yu Mengqing guessed that it was related to the epidemic.
After saying that, Yu Mengqing walked straight towards the Liuli Courtyard.
When Chu Shiheng confirmed that Yu Mengqing was not injured, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Following Yu Mengqing's steps, "I do have something I want to talk to you about. The plague killer has been found, but he is unwilling to reveal the mastermind behind it."
"So, you come to me because you think I have a way?" Yu Mengqing asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I know you have it. What conditions do you need?" Chu Shiheng asked again.
He didn't know whether Yu Mengqing would agree to him, but his intuition told him that Yu Mengqing would definitely give him some advice.
"I've stated my conditions before. I just hope that we won't bother each other."
However, upon hearing this, Chu Shiheng suddenly became furious and gnashed his teeth, saying, "Who do you really think you are? If it weren't for this, do you think I would come to your Liuli Courtyard?"
"It would be better to do as the prince said and never set foot in my Liuli Courtyard again." Yu Mengqing said unwillingly.
Chu Shiheng pointed at Yu Mengqing and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
After a long time, just when Yu Mengqing thought he had nothing to say, he finally asked, "Where's the medicine?"
"What medicine?"
Chu Shiheng: “…”
