Chapter 210: Misguided

"I hinted that you were crying wolf, and you said that I was killing you. Then when you hinted in front of the Emperor that I should poison the Third Prince for the sake of the Fourth and Sixth Princes' futures, why didn't you think that your words were putting me and my children to death?"

"You are the one who harmed Xuan'er, do you still expect me to be nice to you?"

Jiang Xinyue walked up to Aunt Ning and slapped her to the ground: "You little bitch, you dare to hit the Third Prince in front of me, and you don't know how to torture him in private? Tell me! Why do you want to frame me?"

Aunt Ning was about to say that it was she who harmed the Third Prince, but she heard Jiang Xinyue say quietly: "You'd better think carefully before you speak. If you say even a single lie, I will let the people from the Suspension Mirror Department peel off your skin from head to toe, make it into drumheads and send it to the Jiaofang Department, so that the musicians will beat it every day."

Her fierce eyebrows, strong aura, and the murderous aura she exuded when she said this made Aunt Ning's facial muscles twitch uncontrollably.

The words to frame Jiang Xinyue were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them out.

"Your Majesty, there's something wrong with Aunt Ning!"

Jiang Xinyue didn't care whether the Third Prince's poison was caused by Concubine De, who was the one who cried wolf. If she wanted to frame her, she had to peel off a layer of skin from Concubine De first.

"Why not send Aunt Ning to the Suspension Bureau!"

She looked at Emperor Xuanwu steadily, as if to say: If the truth is found out this time, you won't cover it up again, right?

Emperor Xuanwu went to hold her hand and said, "Someone, send her to the Suspension Mirror Department. If she can't be found out..."

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine De was obviously panicked. She pulled Aunt Ning down to her knees and said, "Fei Xiu is a personal maid that I brought from Duke Cheng's Mansion. She is loyal to me and will never harm the Third Prince. The Suspension Mirror Department is full of torture. Please don't take her away for the sake of the Third Prince who is still unconscious. I...I still need her to take care of Xuan'er!"

"It's okay if you don't send me off."

Jiang Xinyue suddenly frowned and spoke clearly, "Then I'll ask you one last time, the Third Prince...did he vomit blood after eating the candy given by the Fourth Prince?"

Ning Feixiu closed her eyes and knocked her head on the floor, "I deserve to die. It's me... I hate that Lady Xianfei scolded me, so I wrongly accused Lady Xianfei. My master was also deceived by me. I deserve to die. Please spare my life, Your Majesty." Concubine

De was shocked. She raised her hand and slapped her in the face, crying, "I trust you so much, how can you..."

She seemed to be extremely angry, her chest heaving violently, and she apologized to Jiang Xinyue again, "Lady Xianfei, it's all my fault. I was too concerned. Feixiu is one of the people I trust the most, so I would..."

"If you keep a servant who confuses right and wrong like this around, Concubine De must be careful not to go astray."

She was hinting at something, and Concubine De also understood what she meant.

Emperor Xuanwu rubbed his fingers on the back of Jiang Xinyue's hand twice, not wanting her to get angry for someone who didn't deserve it: "This dog servant dared to confuse right and wrong and stir up the relationship between Concubine Xian and Concubine De. Wang Dequan... take her away and slap her in the face fifty times to serve as a warning to others."

Considering that the third prince still needed someone to take care of her, the emperor did not sentence her to death, but slapping her in the face fifty times with bamboo and wood chips would destroy her face, and it was hard to say whether her teeth could be saved.

Besides, servants with wounds on their faces could not appear in front of their masters to serve. Aunt Ning had a scar on her face, and the emperor wanted to completely eliminate the possibility of her serving the third prince.

Seeing that Concubine De was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, Jiang Xinyue glanced at it and stopped paying attention. Instead, she walked to the bed of the third prince with the emperor and asked, "Imperial Physician, what kind of poison did the third prince get?"

After several imperial physicians gave up their positions, they stammered, "Replying to Concubine Xian, we are incompetent and haven't found out yet."

It's not that they haven't found out, but that they dare not say it even if they have found out!

The third prince on the bed had a pale face, a weak breath, a pair of big round eyes tightly closed, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

Occasionally, one or two painful moans came out of his mouth.

Jiang Xinyue is not a miracle doctor. She has no other choice but to feel distressed.

She really didn't hope that the poisoning of the Third Prince was a trap set up by Concubine De to overthrow her. This was too cruel for the Third Prince.

Jiang Xinyue left Yanqing Palace intact, which disappointed the concubines who were watching the show in various palaces.

Even the poisoning of the Third Prince could not shake the status of Concubine Xian. In the heart of the Emperor, she was such a trustworthy person!

Those concubines who originally wanted to laugh at Jiang Xinyue for no longer monopolizing the emperor's favor felt bitter in their hearts.

Even if the Emperor had already begun to visit the harem, Concubine Xian was still the number one person in the Emperor's heart, and no one could replace her.

A drizzle suddenly fell. The Emperor and Jiang Xinyue, who returned to Huixi Palace hand in hand, were not prepared at all, and their hair and clothes were wet by the rain.

Everyone hurriedly used whatever they could to shield the two of them from the rain.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The oil-paper umbrella that Wang Dequan used to keep could cover the emperor but not Jiang Xinyue, and it could cover Jiang Xinyue but not the emperor.

Emperor Xuanwu simply took the umbrella from him and held it directly above Jiang Xinyue's head. The tilted umbrella, wet shoulders, and the action of holding her with one hand to shield her from the splashing raindrops all told Jiang Xinyue that this man was in love with her.

She didn't dare to describe an emperor as deeply in love, because she was not sure how deep this love was and how long it would last?

But at this moment, the noisy world seemed to be quiet. Wherever Jiang Xinyue looked, she saw the soft eyebrows and handsome face of Emperor Xuanwu.

He protected her very well.

Whether it's in the rain or in someone else's trap.

He has always protected himself very well and given her all his trust.

Are you touched?

Have you fallen in love with him?

No!

Compared to the fact that Emperor Xuanwu trusted her because he loved her, she felt that he believed in her because of the wisdom of the emperor.

The concubines in the palace, including Concubine De, all thought that they were smart and could fool others.

But they forgot that the emperor's mind and strategy were definitely above theirs, and those "others" did not include the emperor.

Why does Jiang Xinyue always win?

Because she never thought of herself as a smart person and was conceited, nor did she think of the emperor as a fool.

On the contrary, before she did something bad, she had prepared countermeasures to be discovered by the emperor.

So even though the emperor knew that she was acting a lot of the time, he was willing to play along with her.

Everything she did was not initiated by her. At least in the emperor's eyes, Jiang Xinyue had to do it just to protect herself.

"The rain came suddenly and will go away quickly. Your Majesty and Your Majesty please take shelter here for a while. I will go get some clean clothes for you and your majesty." This

was under the corridor of Chuxiu Palace. Wang Dequan ordered people to go to Chengqian Palace and Hexi Palace to get clothes. It was faster than for the two masters to wait until the rain stopped and then go back to get clothes.
