Chapter 409 The Fifteenth Princess



Princess Fuqing suffered from eye disease since childhood, but she was kind-hearted and gentle, and never put on airs as a legitimate princess. The concubines in the harem were happy to be close to her.

Even so, there are not many people who are truly good friends with Princess Fuqing.

Princess Fuqing is of noble status, but she is blind. She is like a precious glass figure. If you bump into her or she becomes unhappy while playing with her, wouldn't you be in trouble?

Princess Fuqing was very familiar with this voice; it was the Fifteenth Princess who often came to play with her.

"Thirteenth sister is so amazing, she guessed it right at once!" The fifteenth princess smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents.

Princess Fuqing looked at the Fifteenth Princess carefully and smiled, "The Fifteenth Princess is a little beauty."

After her eyes recovered, she was told to rest for two days, so the queen ordered that no one should disturb the princess. Today was the first time she saw so many people.

Princess Fifteen was extremely happy to hear this. She held Princess Fuqing's hand affectionately and smiled, "It was only because of Sister Thirteen that she said so. Others would laugh at my round face."

"No, I'm not. Fifteenth sister looks good, and anyone who sees her will be pleased with her."

For Princess Fuqing, who had lived in darkness for a long time, all bright colors were her favorites.

At this time, a maid brought fruit wine and placed it in front of the princesses one by one.

The music started playing and a group of dancers began to dance in the hall.

Taking advantage of the excitement, Princess Fifteen whispered in Princess Fuqing's ear, "Sister Thirteen, I think Sister Seven is the prettiest among all these people."

Princess Fuqing looked past the singing and dancing palace maids and towards the table opposite.

Princess Fifteen held the wine glass and drank the sweet and sour fruit wine, and asked with a smile: "Really?"

Princess Fuqing nodded slightly: "Yes. Fifteenth sister, please wait a moment. I want to go and toast a glass of wine to Seventh sister-in-law."

She picked up the wine glass, smelled the faint fragrance of plums, put the glass down again, asked the palace maid to pour a glass of Baihua Yang, and stood up and walked to the opposite side.

The Fifteenth Princess stood up hurriedly and gently pulled Princess Fuqing's sleeve.

Princess Fuqing stopped and looked at the Fifteenth Princess: "Fifteenth sister, what's wrong?"

"Thirteenth sister, I also want to go and give a toast to Seventh sister-in-law. She cured your eyes, I am so happy."

Princess Fuqing chuckled and exposed Princess Fifteen's thoughts: "I think you are curious."

She had been blind for more than ten years, and her eyes were suddenly cured by the Princess of Yan. Who wouldn't be curious?

"Let's go."

The two walked towards Jiang Si together.

Jiang Si was dealing with the women at the same table. Although he left Princess Qi aside, he was able to be patient with the others, and the atmosphere was harmonious for the time being.

Seeing Princess Fuqing approaching, everyone immediately stopped talking and laughing and looked over.

Princess Fuqing said to everyone openly: "Fuqing has met all the emperor's sisters-in-law."

The fifteenth princess followed to pay her respects.

The princesses did not dare to be arrogant and immediately returned the greeting.

She is the only legitimate princess of the dynasty. She is not only the apple of the empress' eye, but also the emperor's most beloved daughter. Even if they are princesses, they cannot put on airs in front of Princess Fuqing.

As for the princess following Princess Fuqing, haha, it would be nice to know the ranking of this princess.

Princess Fuqing raised her cup to Jiang Si and said, "Sister-in-law Qi, you cured Fuqing's eyes. Fuqing will remember this in her heart. This cup is for you, Sister-in-law Qi."

Jiang Si clinked the jade cups in Princess Fuqing's hands and said, "Princess, there is no need to do this. I have already said that this may be the fate between you and me."

Several princesses couldn't help but roll their eyes after hearing this.

The Princess of Yan is really good at bringing people closer together. Could it be that the matchmaker in heaven is bringing Princess Fuqing and the Princess of Yan together? It's fate.

But despite their jealousy, everyone knew that this was something they could not envy. Who made Princess Fuqing's eyes healed by the Princess of Yan?

Princess Fuqing smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law Qi is right. Fuqing respects you."

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses.

When Princess Fifteen saw the two of them drinking, she raised her glass and said with a smile, "Sister Seven, Princess Fifteen also toasts you. Thank you for curing my sister Thirteen's eyes."

This was the first time Jiang Si met the Fifteenth Princess. He had a favorable impression of this lively girl who was born in the deep palace. He took the wine glass that the maid had refilled and raised it to the Fifteenth Princess: "Fifteenth Princess, you are too polite."

The two clinked their glasses, and seeing that Jiang seemed to be drinking happily, the Fifteenth Princess quickly drank the wine in her glass.

"Sister-in-law, I won't bother you today because there are so many people here. I'll invite you to the palace for a visit some other day. You must come." Seeing Jiang Si nod, Princess Fuqing pursed her lips happily, tilted her head and said softly, "Fifteenth sister, let's go back."

The fifteenth princess did not respond.

Princess Fuqing sensed something was wrong and reached out to pull the Fifteenth Princess's hand: "Fifteenth sister——"

The fifteenth princess suddenly fell to the ground and twitched in pain.

A maidservant who was close to the Fifteenth Princess cried out in shock: "Blood! The princess is bleeding!"

This movement immediately alarmed everyone in the hall.

When the queen heard that the princess was bleeding, her hands trembled and all the wine in the glass spilled onto the table.

"Fifteenth sister!" Princess Fuqing rushed towards the Fifteenth Princess who was twitching and rolling on the ground.

The queen heaved a sigh of relief, her mind returning, and she immediately shouted, "Quickly arrest Princess Fuqing and call the imperial physician!"

The emperor and empress came hurriedly, and the scene was in chaos.

The Fifteenth Princess died before the imperial physician could arrive.

Princess Fuqing's slightly suppressed cry was followed by Emperor Jingming's furious roar: "What happened to the Fifteenth Princess?"

Several imperial doctors knelt on the ground trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.

"Speak, or I'll chop off your heads!"

Under the emperor's questioning, one of the imperial doctors had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Your Majesty, the fifteenth princess died of...poisoning..."

"What kind of poison?"

Several imperial doctors were stumped by the question and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Emperor Jingming sneered: "These doctors are selected by the whole country, but they can't find out what poison the fifteenth princess has been poisoned by?"

Several imperial doctors felt miserable.

Different professions have different worlds. If Your Majesty can be a good emperor, he should not talk nonsense about the medical profession.

The world is so big that all kinds of strange things happen. Poisoning is the most difficult to detect.

But I can only keep these words in my heart. If I dare to say them to the Emperor, I would be courting death.

A royal doctor said, "Your Majesty, if we want to confirm what poison Princess Fifteen was poisoned by, we must first find the source of the poison, such as what she ate or what she came into contact with."

Although Emperor Jingming couldn't bear it, he still looked at Princess Fuqing and said, "Fuqing, were you with the Fifteenth just now?"

Princess Fuqing nodded with tears in her eyes.

"So is there anything unusual about Fifteen?"

Princess Fuqing pursed her lips slightly and said nothing for a while.

Princess Rongyang interrupted, "Brother, there was a lot of noise here just now, and I accidentally glanced over and saw the Fifteenth Princess drinking with the Princess of Yan."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Jiang Si.

Emperor Jingming frowned: "Seventh Wife, is this true?"

"Yes, the Fifteenth Princess did toast her daughter-in-law just now, but the Fifteenth Princess's wine was brought from her own table."
