Chapter 387 Pay Attention
Chen Tang was glad that Concubine Ye didn't know that it was the prince who deposed the Marquis of Changping. You have to know that the prince would never help her fight for the throne with the Prince of Qi. The princess is a chess piece that is of no use at all. I'm afraid that the princess would have been killed by them long ago.
The princess was seriously ill and was tired after such a long conversation. Chen Tang tucked the princess in and then left.
Back at Chenxiangxuan, Chen Tang told Xie Guimo about this. Xie Guimo's face turned pale when he heard it. "How could my father allow such a scourge as Marquis Changping to live until now?"
Big disasters give birth to small disasters, and all the disasters have fallen on the head of the King of Qi. Concubine Ye also wants the King of Qi to endure it and asks Shen Ying to give birth to the baby in her belly.
If it really is a son, and he takes after the Marquis of Changping, who knows how many girls he will harm.
Thinking that the princess’ illness had lasted for half a month and there was only half a month left, Shen Tang felt depressed.
Even though the doctors and imperial physicians in Kyoto could not cure the princess, they were still invited into the palace as in the previous life, but it was still of no use.
The prince would accompany the princess whenever he was free. Xie Guimo's mood became worse day by day. He watched time pass by but was helpless. That feeling of powerlessness was too tormenting.
Previously, they had planned to hold a wedding banquet at Chenxiangxuan for Ginkgo and Qiutong to get married. However, once the princess fell ill, no one mentioned the wedding banquet anymore. If something really happened to the princess, Chenxiangxuan would not be able to hold any weddings for three years.
After dinner, Chen Tang and Xie Guimo went to the Peony Courtyard to see the princess, and then came back. This had become a habit in the past half month.
That morning, Chen Tang had just woken up and was struggling to sit up with his stomach supported. Gingko ran in and said, "Crown Princess, something bad has happened! The princess vomited blood when she woke up this morning!"
Chen Tang was shocked, "How could it be?!"
Such a big thing, if it's not true, who would dare to spread it?
Chen Tang's heart was trembling like a sieve. She thought the princess still had half a month to live, but in her previous life, the princess vomited blood and passed away in just three days.
It's the same disease, why does it take shorter time this time? !
Chen Tang got off the bed in a hurry out of fear, but she got up too fast and felt dizzy. Yin Xing and Qiu Tong hurried to help her up, "No matter how anxious or worried the Crown Princess is, you must be careful with the child..."
Xie Guimo walked in from outside and said, "Aren't you talking about my mother..."
Chen Tang told Xie Guimo in detail about the month from the princess's onset to her death. Chen Tang shook his head, "I don't know why it happened..."
After she got dressed and washed up, she didn't even have time to eat breakfast and went to the Peony Courtyard with Xie Guimo.
When the prince returned home from court, he heard that the princess had vomited blood, so he hurried to see her. The second and third wives also went to the Peony Courtyard. After all, they had lived under the same roof for twenty years, and the princess was considered very easy to talk to, so they had to go visit her.
The princess was barely able to breathe and was panting heavily after only being able to say a few words.
The prince's eyes were bloodshot, and the princess' hand was shaking. He also knew that the princess' vomiting of blood meant that she only had a few days left. He thought she had half a month left.
The princess was so weak that she couldn't even speak.
The princess actually spent most of the last three days in a coma.
The princess said with difficulty, "I want to stay quiet..."
The prince sent the second wife and the others away, and the princess said to Shen Tang, "You should go back too."
Shen Tang’s eyes were red.
Xie Guimo grabbed her hand and took Chen Tang away.
The Second Madam and the others left the Peony Courtyard and whispered, "How could the princess be so seriously ill? I'm afraid it's..."
I didn’t dare say the rest of the words because we were outside the Peony Courtyard and I was afraid someone might hear us.
Although everyone guessed it, the prince and Xie Guimo might not be willing to listen.
They say that illness comes as sudden as a mountain falling, but this time it came too quickly. Not to mention the prince and Xie Guimo, even they couldn't accept it.
After Chen Tang and Xie Guimo returned to Chenxiangxuan, after a long while, Ginkgo said, "The princess will definitely be fine. The prince and princess should have breakfast. Only when you are full will you have the strength to think of a way to save the princess."
Chen Tang said, "Bring the food up."
She had sent the princess off once before and was mentally prepared, but Xie Guimo had no memory of his past life and found it hard to bear.
Chen Tang picked up some food for him, but Xie Guimo's eyes turned red and he couldn't eat at all.
When she heard that the princess had vomited blood and fainted, Mrs. An rushed over. Even An Nuan came as well, with a big belly and difficulty walking.
Chen Tang sent them to the Peony Courtyard. Just as they reached the gate of the courtyard, a maid ran up behind them and said, "Crown Princess, Prince Ning and Princess Roujia are here."
Mrs. An said to Shen Tang, "You go and welcome Princess Roujia, and we will go to see the princess ourselves."
After saying that, Mrs. An stepped into the yard, and An Nuan followed.
Chen Tang did not follow and turned to greet his elder brother and Princess Roujia.
From a distance, Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia were seen approaching, followed by guards and a strange man who did not look like they were from the Ning Dynasty.
Chen Tang went to meet him and asked, "Why is sister-in-law here?"
Princess Roujia said, "I heard that the princess was seriously ill, so I came to see her."
Chen Tang guessed that they were also here to visit the princess. There were only them and the old princess Ning in Prince Ning's mansion. The old princess Ning was already old, and Princess Roujia would definitely not feel comfortable with her coming, so she had to come by herself.
Chen Tang's eyes fell on the man, "Brother, who is this?"
Xiao Huan said, "There has been no trouble at the border in the past few years. I have traveled around and met many people. My brother-in-law mentioned the poison to me before. I happened to know an expert who is good at detoxifying poison, so I sent someone to invite him. He just came to the capital today and is also good at detoxifying. I will bring him to the princess to see if he can help."
Xiao Huan was a cautious person, so Xie Guimo told him that the Duke of Zhenguo might have been murdered in battle, hoping that Xiao Huan could help keep an eye out.
Xiao Huan was afraid that there might be people in the court or the army who were good at using poison, and it would be hard to guard against them. It just so happened that he had someone he knew who had promised to invite him to travel around Da Qi when they parted ways. So he sent someone to invite the person to come. If there were still people who used poison to harm others, he would not be without any chance to fight back.
Xie Guimo came over and when he heard the word "poison", his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said, "Please come in."
