Chapter 212 She Should Be the Biggest Winner

When Emperor Xuanwu returned to Hexi Palace, his mood began to decline. Even the thick-skinned Xi Que noticed that he was unhappy and hid away from her.

If anyone in this palace was most likely to become the emperor's punching bag, it would be Xi Que. After

all, she had once driven the emperor out of Hexi Palace and slammed his door.

Jiang Xinyue personally served him ginger soup: "Your Majesty has also been caught in the rain. Drink a bowl of hot ginger soup quickly. I asked Xi Que to put brown sugar in it so it won't be spicy."

She remembered that Emperor Xuanwu couldn't eat spicy food very well.

The emperor took the ginger soup and drank it all. After putting down the bowl of soup, he hugged Jiang Xinyue tightly.

He didn't say anything, but Jiang Xinyue felt a warm wetness on her shoulder.

The emperor... he cried! ?

At this moment, there is no need to speak, companionship is the most lasting confession of love.

Jiang Xinyue's body froze at first, then raised her hand in surprise and patted him gently on the back.

Emperor Xuanwu did not have many offspring. The third prince was the oldest among the living princes, and he was also the one he devoted the most effort to.

At that time, the two princes of the Empress died one after another, the fourth prince was not favored, and the fifth prince and the sixth prince were not born yet.

He has been the emperor for some years, and there are only four princes and princesses alive in the palace.

Over the years, there is only one more fifth prince and one sixth prince.

Those concubines who were pregnant either had two lives or could not give birth at all.

Emperor Xuanwu had investigated before, but he could not find the real murderer.

He controlled the entire harem and knew the true personalities of all the concubines, but he could never find out who was the "abortion expert" in the harem.

Although Concubine De was two-faced, she had invested much more effort in the third prince than the emperor did. She should not be so cruel to the third prince.

Who on earth wanted to harm the third prince and then put the blame on Jiang Xinyue?

Yanqing Palace- Concubine

De looked at Ning Feixiu, who was lying on the ground, spitting blood from her mouth and twitching after being slapped fifty times.

For the first time, a terrifyingly gloomy expression appeared on that dignified face. She took several deep breaths and finally suppressed the violent emotion that was about to burst out: "Didn't I tell you? I told you to hold on to Concubine Xian. Why did you change your words at the last minute?"

Ning Feixiu had been beaten to the point of being unconscious, but she still struggled to her feet, staggered to her knees on the ground, and looked at Concubine De with her swollen eyes that were almost closed: "Master, I... I don't know why, Concubine Xian... Concubine Xian's eyes... are too... too scary. I have forgotten all the words I had memorized in advance."

As she spoke, blood flowed from her mouth. She licked her back teeth with her tongue, and her four big teeth fell out at the same time.

The saliva mixed with blood became a sticky and dirty liquid, dripping onto the carpet.

Concubine De frowned and winked at Lu Yin, who immediately stepped forward and called two maids to drag the half-unconscious Ning Feixiu away.

The third prince needed someone to take care of him, and the imperial doctors took the third prince's pulse while preparing medicinal materials on the spot.

Concubine De walked over quietly: "How is it? Is there any progress?"

The imperial doctors all stood up and saluted Concubine De. On the ground where no one noticed, Lu Yin opened the bottle hidden in her palm, poured a bottle of transparent potion and mixed it in the herbs.

Then she squeezed the small bottle back into her palm.

After doing all this, she nodded to Concubine De, who then called out, "Don't be so polite, doctors. Is it possible to cure the poison of the Third Prince?"

Several doctors looked at the bottles and jars on the table and said uncertainly, "We have already adapted all the herbs suitable for the Third Prince's poison. This is the last dose."

In other words, if this last dose is useless, the Third Prince will be hopeless.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Concubine De picked up the wooden jar of medicine on the table and handed it to Lu Yin, "Hurry up and boil it into a potion for the Third Prince to drink."

She was so anxious because she was the mother of the Third Prince. The doctors could understand and did not feel dissatisfied with Concubine De's sudden action.

The Emperor only knew a part of Concubine De.

Before Jiang Xinyue became the emperor's favorite, no one could let her take the risk of the Third Prince's life.

No!

It should be said that if Jiang Xinyue had not intervened, Concubine De would have been the biggest winner in the harem.

Therefore, she was eager to get rid of Jiang Xinyue.

But she underestimated the weight of Jiang Xinyue in the emperor's heart, and overestimated the weight of herself and the third prince in the emperor's heart.

One wrong step, all wrong...

I'm afraid the golden book of the queen can't be kept.

She calculated against Concubine Xian like this, and Concubine Xian would definitely retaliate.

The two of them have completely torn their faces apart in the future.

What a pity...

The third prince was almost involved, but Jiang Xinyue was not hurt at all.

Emperor Xuanwu did not leave Hexi Palace all day, and only sent people to Yanqing Palace from time to time to check on the third prince. You can

say he is cowardly or escaping, he doesn't want to watch his beloved son die again.

That was tantamount to being late for him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The Third Prince has woken up! The Third Prince has woken up!"

In the evening, Jiang Xinyue was nestling in Emperor Xuanwu's arms reading a landscape miscellany. When the eunuch who went to check on the situation ran back again, he brought back good news.

"The head of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Lin, has prepared an antidote, and the Third Prince has woken up."

Jiang Xinyue felt that the emperor's tense body suddenly relaxed, and his chest also let out a long sigh, revealing a truly relieved smile.

He wanted to go see the Third Prince, but was afraid that Jiang Xinyue would be angry, so he looked restless.

"Your Majesty, won't you go and see the Third Prince?"

Jiang Xinyue gave him a step and said, "Even if you don't see that Concubine De was frightened today, Your Majesty should also consider the Third Prince's feelings. He suffered innocently. If Your Majesty can comfort him, he will feel warm in his heart and I believe he will get better faster."

Emperor Xuanwu kissed his forehead with emotion: "Then I will go and see him."

Jiang Xinyue nodded. Concubine De's appearance was not very pretty, and she was getting older. She had upset the emperor today. Even if the emperor stayed in Yanqing Palace all night, there was nothing to worry about.

He stayed in Yanqing Palace to accompany the third prince.

"Master, you are too generous. Why did you send the emperor to Concubine De's palace? She treated you like that today."

Xi Que complained for Jiang Xinyue.

"I just followed the emperor's wishes. Even if I didn't say those words, he would still have to go in the end."

What's the point of being so anxious?

A man as conceited as Emperor Xuanwu likes others to follow his wishes.

"Who poisoned the third prince?"

"Only two people, the Empress and... Concubine De herself."

As for who will be convicted in the end, it depends on who makes the better move.
