Chapter 209 The Third Prince is Poisoned

She didn’t want the grudges between adults to affect the relationship between children.

But this doesn’t mean she allows people in Defei’s palace to be on guard, suspicious, and speak ill of her children.

If people in Defei’s palace look at her with tinted glasses for a long time, it will not only affect the relationship between the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, but also make his character cautious, sensitive and inferior.

She finally healed her Xiaoman and made him the well-behaved, sensible and sunny boy he is today. She can’t let anyone ruin him again.

The Third Prince is indeed a good child, but he has his own mother, and every mother should stand on the side of her child and protect her child.

Jiang Xinyue hugged the Fourth Prince and smiled at him, "What does our Xiaoman want to eat for lunch today?"

"Braised pork, chicken legs, braised pork elbows, lion..."

"Stop!"

Jiang Xinyue stopped him from naming the dishes, "You've consumed too much meat now, you can only eat vegetarian food today."

"Ah..."

The Fourth Prince looked at her pitifully, "Can I have one more chicken leg?"

Who can resist the coquettishness of a white and soft son?

Jiang Xinyue pulled

the fat on his face: "Okay, you are allowed to eat a chicken leg." Qian Sheng always followed the Fourth Prince closely. He laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, please don't spoil him too much. The Fourth Prince has already secretly eaten a chicken leg this morning."

"Oh, Grandpa..."

The Fourth Prince wrinkled his nose and mouth, and made a fierce sound like a puppy with a temper: "I promised not to tell my mother."

After lunch, Nanny Xiang took the Sixth Prince downstairs to burp him and put him to sleep. The Fourth Prince went to his own courtyard, led by Qian Sheng, and the two of them took a walk together to digest the food.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

Xiao Xuanzi ran in from outside: "It's not good, Your Highness...The Third Prince...The Third Prince has been poisoned!"

"What did you say?"

Jiang Xinyue stood up suddenly: "Tell me clearly, why was the Third Prince poisoned?"

Xiao Xuanzi tried to make his voice sound calmer, and then said in a smooth tone: "Not long after returning from the Yu Garden, the Third Prince vomited blood and fainted. His personal maid Aunt Ning said...that the Fourth Prince gave the Third Prince candy, which led to the Third Prince being poisoned."

"She farted!"

Jiang Xinyue said angrily, "The candy was slapped away by that Ning, and the third prince didn't eat it at all. How could it be caused by eating candy?"

Although he was angry, he still asked with concern, "How is the third prince now?"

Xiao Xuanzi frowned, "To answer your Majesty, the emperor has brought all the doctors in the imperial hospital there, and the third prince is still in a coma. Doctor Yan secretly sent a message to me, saying that the third prince was poisoned and the situation is extremely serious. If... if he doesn't wake up, I'm afraid it will be tonight."

"How could it be?"

He was fine when he was with her in the morning.

"Xi Que, prepare the sedan chair. I want to go to Yanqing Palace to take a look."

She took two steps and turned back to the people in the palace and said, "Guard the house well. Don't let anyone who asks you to hand over the fourth prince. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, your majesty!"

Yanqing Palace -

a burst of mournful cries came from inside. Jiang Xinyue paused for a moment, but continued to walk inside after just a moment.

When she reached the door of the Third Prince's room, Concubine De's heart-wrenching voice came out again: "Your Majesty, is it because you gave me the Golden Book that Concubine Xian was dissatisfied and attacked Xuan'er? Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I don't want this Golden Book, I really don't want it. Can you tell Concubine Xian to give me the antidote? I don't want anything, I just want Xuan'er to survive."

Emperor Xuanwu held Concubine De's elbow, pulled her up from the ground and said: "It's too much of a joke to convict Concubine Xian just based on the identification of a servant. Concubine De, Xuan'er is in danger, and I am also heartbroken. But if you say that Concubine Xian did it, I don't believe it."

Even if Yue'er is scheming and cruel, she will only use her cruel means against people who have a grudge against her, and will never plan for the child.

He is very sure of this.

"Perhaps the former Concubine Zhen would not..."

Concubine De grabbed Emperor Xuanwu's clothes, her face full of tears. She was so shocked by the plight of the third prince that she didn't care and asked loudly: "That's because Concubine Zhen at that time had no son. Now she has her own son and has adopted the fourth prince. Can Your Majesty guarantee that the current Concubine Zhenxian is still the former Concubine Zhen?"

"Your Majesty, people will change."

Especially women who have entered the palace and experienced the power of the superiors, it is impossible for them to not have ambitions.

Concubine Xian is also a human being. Can she control her desires?

Emperor Xuanwu wanted to tell Concubine De that even the Phoenix Seal was designed by himself so that Concubine Xian reluctantly accepted it. How could she attack the third prince in order to eliminate the opponent for her child?

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Xinyue couldn't stand it any longer and walked in to interrupt Concubine De's attempt to sow discord: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The emperor's unpleasant expression eased a little: "Why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, Concubine De would have let you talk nonsense and throw unwarranted filth on me."

She stood in front of Concubine De with a cold face and looked at her with her clear eyes: "First of all, Aunt Ning said that the third prince was poisoned after eating the candy given by the fourth prince. Then, may I ask, what kind of poison was it that took two hours for the third prince to take effect? ​​Secondly, there were many palace people present at the time. Aunt Ning was wary of me and slapped the third prince on the arm, knocking the candy to the ground. The third prince didn't eat it at all, so how could he be poisoned by eating the candy?"

Jiang Xinyue asked clearly: "Finally, If the Third Prince was poisoned after eating the candy sent by the Fourth Prince, can I reasonably guess that the poison was originally intended to kill the Fourth Prince?"

She sneered, "No matter from which perspective, I and the Fourth Prince are both victims. It just happened, and the investigation hasn't even started yet. I was convicted based on the one-sided words of the servants. I think you are suspicious of me on weekdays. Since Concubine De doesn't trust me so much, you shouldn't let the Third Prince always come to play with me. On the one hand, you suspect me, but on the other hand, you let the Third Prince get close to me. Are you waiting for me to poison the Third Prince so that you can take the opportunity to explode?"

Defei cried even harder: "What the Concubine Xian said is really cruel. Would I use the life of the Third Prince to frame you? We are all mothers. Please put yourself in their shoes..."

Jiang Xinyue didn't look at her directly, but said to Emperor Xuanwu: "Your Majesty, did you see it?"

Emperor Xuanwu looked at Defei with a cold look in his eyes.

Defei was startled, and didn't know what she said wrong, and then she heard Jiang Xinyue say calmly: "It can be seen that Defei's kindness and generosity in the past were all fake."
