Aunt Sulan said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager is in very good health lately, and her appetite is also good. She eats much more at each meal than before."
Xiao Yanchu nodded: "That's for the best. I'm relieved. I do notice that Mother's figure has indeed become more fuller. Mother, do you know whose contribution this is?"
Consort Jiang's smile faded upon hearing Xiao Yanchu's words.
"I know that Doctor Su has made great contributions and I will not treat her unfairly. I have already asked Su Lan to select many things from my storeroom so that Doctor Su can take them back to Yan Yang when she leaves the manor."
“Return to Yanyang? Has Mother forgotten that her son said he would marry her as his princess? Naturally, his princess should stay in the palace. Why would she return to Yanyang?” Xiao Yanchu said calmly.
Consort Jiang glanced at Xiao Yanchu: "Chu'er, I thought the position of concubine in the Prince's mansion was good enough for Miss Su, but I never expected that she would seduce you and commit debauchery with you in the mansion in broad daylight. How can such a shameless woman be allowed into the Prince's mansion?"
"Oh~ How did Mother Consort learn that Miss Su seduced her son into committing licentious acts?" Xiao Yanchu looked at Consort Jiang, his eyes calm and unwavering.
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, how could it be false? Chu'er, you are the Regent, representing the face of Great Chu, how can you marry such a woman? Your mother will never agree to it." Consort Jiang was furious when she mentioned this matter.
A hint of doubt appeared in Xiao Yanchu's eyes: "When did Mother see you, and when did you hear about it?"
Seeing that the Dowager Princess was furious, Aunt Sulan quickly interjected, "Earlier, the Dowager Princess went to visit the Prince in his courtyard, but was stopped by Hu Qing. Then the Dowager Princess heard the Prince and Miss Su's voices coming from inside..."
Aunt Sulan paused here, and everyone understood what she meant next.
"The Empress Dowager was so angry that she fainted," Aunt Sulan added.
Xiao Yanchu then understood why Consort Jiang's attitude towards Su Ruojin had changed so drastically.
He fainted after being detoxified, and Consort Jiang fainted from anger. Su Ruojin quickly revived her.
Su Ruojin didn't care at all and completely forgot about it.
Hu Qing and the others were worried about the prince's condition at the time, and dared not tell him about it.
After the Empress Dowager recovered, no one mentioned the matter again, and Xiao Yanchu had no idea that such a thing had happened.
Xiao Yanchu chuckled softly and gently turned the white jade thumb ring on his left thumb.
"Mother, if I told you that my life was hanging by a thread and that Ajin was desperately trying to save me, what would you do?"
Consort Jiang was completely stunned. After she came to this realization, she had never considered any other possibility.
impossible!
impossible!
Chu'er is standing right in front of me, isn't she?
Could it be that Chu'er lied to her for that woman?
But Chu'er never lied to her!
But that sound...
“Mother, do you know why your illness has been incurable for so many years, even by the Imperial Hospital's chief physician and Mu Jingshan, but was cured as soon as Ajin came?”
"I acknowledge her excellent medical skills, which is why I prepared such a generous gift to thank her," said Consort Jiang.
“Ah Jin’s medical skills are indeed excellent. However, Mother, the fact that the poison in your body could be cured was something Ah Jin risked her life for.”
poison?
What kind of poison?
Consort Jiang was momentarily stunned.
She never imagined that her poor health was due to poisoning.
During those years in the Cold Palace, she was tormented by the eunuchs there. In winter, her hands were covered in chilblains, and she still had to wash clothes for the crazy concubines in the Cold Palace.
He ate nothing but hard steamed buns, spoiled vegetables, and spoiled rice, which left him with a host of ailments.
If it weren't for the longing for my son that kept me going, I might not have survived until now.
It wasn't until her son took her out of the cold palace that she finally found out.
But now her son says she's been poisoned.
"Chu'er, what exactly is going on?"
