She sighed softly, walked quickly to the door, and shouted outside, "Quick, the princess has been poisoned, send someone to call the virtuous king and the doctor!"
The maids who were originally guarding outside the door were already worried when they heard the noise in the house, but since their master didn't say anything, they didn't dare to go in and disturb her.
Now, seeing Concubine Yun, everyone was shocked and hurried to call for the doctor and the wise king.
A maid walked into the house and was shocked when she saw the situation inside.
No one dared to ask more questions, and even though they were extremely frightened, they did not dare to leave the bridal chamber.
"Put the Virtuous Princess on the couch first, then carry this maid out. We'll make all the final decisions after the Virtuous Prince arrives."
Even though Zhao Yunzhu didn't want to get involved in this matter at the moment, seeing the mess in the room, she could only speak out to appease him for the time being.
The maids followed orders.
Zhao Yunzhu saw Qin Yihuai holding Qin Yueyue's hand and guarding the bedside. She sighed helplessly, squatted down, and said soothingly, "Prince and Princess, can you come with me to the private room to rest first?"
Qin Yihuai looked at her warily.
Zhao Yunzhu understood his concerns. "Sir, the princess is only three years old and was frightened just now. Will you listen to my advice? Otherwise, when your father arrives, how will you respond in this state?"
After saying that, Zhao Yunzhu reached out and picked up Qin Yueyue. This time, Qin Yihuai did not stop her, he followed silently.
The partition was separated by a screen, and various refreshments were placed on the table inside.
Zhao Yunzhu put Qin Yueyue on the chair and asked her to sit down. She squatted down and straightened Qin Yueyue's hair. The three-year-old girl saw what had just happened and was frightened. The next second, she saw Zhao Yunzhu picked up a piece of persimmon cake from the table and shook it in front of her.
"This persimmon cake is delicious, Yueyue, would you like to try it?"
She did not call Qin Yueyue "Princess", but called her by her maiden name affectionately, which instinctively lowered Qin Yueyue's guard.
"I want to eat. I want to eat."
Qin Yueyue grinned, and her rosy little face was particularly adorable.
She stretched out her chubby little hands and was about to grab the food in Zhao Yunzhu's hand.
Zhao Yunzhu raised the persimmon cake higher, and Qin Yueyue stretched out her arms to reach it. After a few back and forths, Qin Yueyue had already forgotten what she had just experienced and laughed heartily. Young children are easily attracted by others' attention.
Only then did Zhao Yunzhu feel at ease and handed the persimmon cake to Qin Yueyue, and reminded her, "Yueyue, eat it obediently and don't make any noise, okay?"
Qin Yueyue held a plate of persimmon cakes, grinning and nodding at her.
Zhao Yunzhu finally calmed down and looked at Qin Yihuai, "Prince, can you please spare a moment to talk with me?"
Qin Yihuai nodded.
Outside the compartment, there were Aunt Hua, Linglong, Xia Yue and others guarding.
The two walked to the window.
Zhao Yunzhu saw that Qin Yueyue was eating with full concentration. Children are like this, their attention is easily attracted by food.
"Sir, when the prince comes, what are you going to say in return?"
Qin Yihuai raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't understand what Concubine Yun means."
Zhao Yunzhu raised the corners of her lips and examined him, "Prince, if that's the case, then I know."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Zhao Yunzhu was too lazy to ask any further questions.
"What does Concubine Yun plan to say to my father?"
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu turning around and about to leave, Qin Yihuai was still a little confused.
He asked immediately.
"Don't worry, my lord. I won't say anything nonsense. After all, the tea was brought by the maid just now. That maid is now dead. I don't know the rest."
Qin Yihuai didn't respond, but just stared at Zhao Yunzhu.
"What the hell is going on!"
The wise king shouted angrily and walked quickly into the house.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at Qin Yihuai, then at Qin Yueyue, "Prince, please go with me to report to your father. Let the princess play here."
Qin Yihuai looked at his sister and said, "Okay."
He followed Zhao Yunzhu out of the compartment, and Zhao Yunzhu asked Nanny Hua to go in and serve Qin Yueyue.
The virtuous king reeked of alcohol when he heard that Song Shumin had been poisoned.
My dizzy brain suddenly became clear.
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu, the virtuous king was stunned for a moment. Then, seeing his son, his expression darkened again. "Huai'er? Didn't your father tell you to stay in the yard with your sister today and not go out? Why are you here?"
Behind King Xian followed King An.
Before Qin Yihuai could speak, Zhao Yunzhu responded first, "Wise King, the young princess is still in the compartment. Why don't you ask the maids to leave first?"
The doubts in the wise king's heart grew stronger, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Prince An walked up to Zhao Yunzhu with a look of worry on his face. Zhao Yunzhu shook her head slightly at him, indicating that he didn't need to worry and that she was fine.
Only then did Qin Zongzhi feel relieved.
"The prince brought the princess here today, hoping to have his stepmother, County Princess Shumin, drink some tea so that the family would live in harmony in the future. However, the maid who brought the tea died of poisoning..."
Zhao Yunzhu explained the matter in one sentence.
The wise king roughly understood what was going on. He glared at his son and then looked towards the compartment. The anger in his eyes instantly turned into deep fatherly love.
Yueyue is his first daughter and is more like him than this son.
Ever since Yueyue was born, she has been the apple of everyone's eye. Even during these years on the battlefield, the person he missed the most was his daughter.
He was suppressing his anger at the moment, just because he didn't want to scare his daughter.
"Take your sister back first, and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"
When a wise king orders his people to take his children away from places of trouble, isn’t this a form of protection?
Zhao Yunzhu watched this scene and couldn't help but think of Song Shumin, whose life or death is still unknown.
After careful planning, she finally took the position of the virtuous princess.
But the virtuous king is so careful to protect his two children, I am afraid...
At this time, the doctor was called in.
Fortunately, Song Shumin only took two sips, so the poisoning was not too serious.
This poison is not untreatable, nor is it the most potent and deadly poison.
The doctor prepared an antidote and ordered his servants to give it to Song Shumin.
He just stood up and walked to the side of the virtuous king, sighed softly, and looked at the virtuous king with a complicated expression, "The virtuous king..."
The virtuous king saw the doctor's dilemma and said, "Doctor, please speak frankly. I will not blame you."
After hearing this, the doctor felt a little relieved.
"Your Majesty, this poison has indeed harmed the princess's body. I'm afraid that having an heir in the future... will be a bit difficult."
"Okay, I understand. As long as the princess is safe, I am very lucky."
The wise king ordered his men to send the doctor away in a safe manner.
He just turned his head to look at Zhao Yunzhu and King An, "Ninth brother and sister-in-law, please go outside to eat."
"good."
“…”
Qin Zongzhi took Zhao Yunzhu away.
After leaving the main courtyard, before Zhao Yunzhu could speak, Qin Zongzhi spoke first, "It seems that the virtuous king does not intend to pursue this matter anymore."
Zhao Yunzhu's eyes paused, remembering the wise king's attitude towards his two children just now.
That was clearly deliberate partiality.
