Chapter 268 Symptoms
Throwing down this sentence, Shen Tang left without looking back.
Behind her, Shen Xian covered her stomach in anger, and the frightened maid hurried to help her, "Princess, are you okay? Do you want to call the imperial physician..."
The maid was worried that something might happen to Chen Xi's stomach.
Chen Xi was even more frightened.
The baby in her belly is her amulet.
If she lost this child, she wouldn't even know how she died.
She was so angry that her lower abdomen ached. She quickly suppressed her anger, fearing that it would cause miscarriage.
If it weren't for what she had just said to Shen Tang, which could not be made public, she would definitely make a big fuss and alert the emperor to punish Shen Tang.
Besides, the princess talked to Queen Xu for a while, and seeing that it was getting late and time to leave the palace, she sent a palace maid to invite Chen Tang.
When Chen Tang walked outside the pavilion, the princess stood up and said goodbye to Queen Xu.
Just as she was about to leave, a maid ran over and said hurriedly, "Empress, a little maid beside Concubine Ye suddenly had abdominal pain just like Concubine Ye..."
Yesterday, Concubine Ye suddenly had a severe stomachache, so that the Emperor could not go to Prince Ning's mansion for the wedding banquet. The imperial physician found out that she was poisoned, but could not find out how she was poisoned. Now a palace maid has appeared with the same symptoms as Concubine Ye. This is a clue. As long as we check what the palace maid and Concubine Ye have eaten or touched, we can follow the clues and find out the person behind the poisoning.
Daimao, the maidservant beside Empress Xu, asked, "Which maidservant in Concubine Ye's palace had an accident?"
The palace maid who delivered the message hurriedly replied, "It's Bi Tao."
The Emperor takes Concubine Ye's accident very seriously. Empress Xu holds the Phoenix Seal. Someone in the harem poisoned Concubine Ye, and it is Empress Xu's job to find out who is behind it.
Queen Xu had to go and ask about it. She stood up and was about to leave the pavilion. When she passed by Chen Tang, Chen Tang raised his hand to stop Queen Xu.
This action stunned everyone, including the princess.
Stopping the queen is a crime of great disrespect.
Chen Tang whispered a few words, and Empress Xu's face changed again and again. She looked at Chen Tang with complicated eyes, and told Aunt Zhao a few words. Empress Xu, who was originally going to Changchun Palace, went to the Imperial Study instead.
After Queen Xu left, Chen Tang looked at the princess, "Mother..."
The princess said, "Let's leave the palace first."
Xie Guimo was waiting for Shen Tang and the princess on the road they had to take to leave the palace. He stood under a tree, wearing a brocade robe, with an upright posture, and a face without any flaws. He walked into the sunlight and walked towards them.
Even though I'm used to seeing this face, I still can't help but feel my heart beating fast.
When they arrived at the horse ranch, Xie Guimo helped the princess onto the carriage, then helped Chen Tang up.
The servant dressed as a secret guard drove the carriage out of the palace.
The princess did not ask what Chen Tang had said to Queen Xu. Chen Tang felt that she should not hide it from the princess. She said, "I know the maid named Bi Tao in Concubine Ye's palace. She and a young eunuch in Queen Xu's palace are from the same hometown and have close contacts..."
The princess was shocked. Even Queen Xu might not know about this. How could Tang'er know it so clearly?
Knowing that the princess would be suspicious, Chen Tang could only lie and fool around. "On the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, I accidentally overheard the maid named Bi Tao talking to the eunuch in Queen Xu's palace. I just heard that Bi Tao was in trouble, and I was a little worried. So I told Queen Xu about it. Will my mother be angry with me?"
The princess sighed, "The harem fights, the fight for the crown prince, mother really doesn't want you and Mo'er to get involved."
"The Jingyang Palace is powerful enough. Any further progress will be a disaster rather than a blessing."
These were the words that the Duke of Zhenguo warned the prince before he went to the border twelve years ago.
Chen Tang said, "Father holds military power and has the ability to influence the battle for the crown prince, but he stays out of it. I'm afraid that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will find it difficult to tolerate father."
If we need you, we can accommodate you even if you are on the enemy's side.
When you are no longer needed, you must die even if you are one of our own.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "living with the king is like living with a tiger".
The princess knew that Chen Tang's concerns were not unnecessary. Chen Tang said, "Mother, father and husband know much more about the affairs of the court than we do. We will just watch what they do."
So embarrassing.
It’s not a question of whether she will instigate Xie Guimo.
But she couldn't instigate it at all.
But it is also true that Xie Guimo is the prince of Jingyang and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He may be too easily influenced and believe whatever his wife says. How could the prince and the old prince dare to let him choose the princess on his own? They must screen them themselves, lest their son be fooled by the wife's words and do something treasonous and bring disaster to the whole family.
Xie Guimo has his own ideas and will not be influenced by anyone, so if he wants to marry a girl he likes, the prince and the old prince will naturally be happy to fulfill his wish.
Shen Tang's cheeks flushed and he stopped talking.
Back at the Jingyang Palace, the princess returned to the Peony Courtyard, while Chen Tang and Xie Guimo returned to the Chenxiang Pavilion.
Chen Tang poured himself some tea, Xie Guimo sat down and pulled Chen Tang into his arms, "On the way back, you looked at your husband several times. Is there anything you dare not ask in front of your mother?"
Chen Tang said, "I'm just a little curious, can I encourage you to do something you don't want to do..."
Xie Guimo raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything you want to do that I don't want to do?"
Chen Tang blurted out, “How would I know that?”
After saying that, Shen Tang wanted to throw her mouth away. She said such stupid things. She was afraid that her brain was left in the palace. Why did she have such curiosity? She was not a person who would instigate others casually.
Seeing Xie Guimo trying to suppress a smile, Chen Tang pinched his neck and said, "You sleep in the study tonight!"
This was really what she wanted, but he didn't want to do it.
But this example is not a good one.
It was not only bad, Chen Tang was simply digging a hole to bury himself.
Xie Guimo buried his head in her neck and laughed softly, "That depends on how your wife's pillow talk will make me go to the study."
Chen Tang, "..."
Why did she want him to sleep in the study? It was because he was asking for too much and she couldn't handle it.
If you want him to sleep in the study room, and you have to persuade him with your pillow, then why let him sleep in the study room?
Chen Tang got himself into this mess.
Chen Tang was furious, and Xie Guimo pinched her nose, "Do you want your husband to sleep in the study so much?"
Chen Tang snorted, "What's the use of thinking about it? You don't listen to me."
Xie Guimo said, "I dare not disobey you. Your husband will sleep in the study tonight."
Could this guy be so obedient?
Um.
It turns out that there isn't.
After dinner, Chen Tang took Ginkgo for a stroll in the garden, read a book for a while, took a hot bath, and then went to bed.
When Xie Guimo came back from the study, Chen Tang had already wrapped himself in the quilt.
Seeing him coming back, Chen Tang reminded him, “Aren’t you sleeping in the study?”
Xie Guimo picked up Chen Tang directly with the quilt. Chen Tang struggled, "What are you doing?"
Xie Guimo said, "Sleep in the study tonight."
"I asked you to sleep in the study!" Chen Tang said.
"You have to watch over me, otherwise I'll go back to sleep, wouldn't that be breaking my promise?"
“…”
