Chapter 131: Setting up the stage for a play, unexpected rescue
The first prescription was written by her own hand. After comparing the handwriting, she had no choice but to deny that it was just an ordinary prescription for regulating the physical condition.
But the second prescription was a copy she had prepared long ago and sent directly from the system.
Since Princess Yong broke the contract and refused to admit it first, she wanted to put all the blame on her.
Why should she care about a friendship?
Ji Qingwu raised his head and looked straight ahead, saying, "We made an appointment at Hanshan Temple that day. My elder sister specially invited me to come and treat her because of our friendship. I only gave the princess a prescription for her health."
She emphasized that she only gave one photo, and continued, "The princess has not been pregnant for many years and is eager to have a child. In order to give birth to a legitimate son of the royal palace as soon as possible, it is understandable that she was confused and used the wrong method, but why did you throw dirty water on me?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was trying her best to suppress her grievances.
"Besides, no matter where the prescription came from, the princess gave it to the prince without consulting the doctor in the palace. The person who gave the medicine was you, the princess. If we want to hold someone responsible, aren't you the one who bears the greatest responsibility?"
This makes sense. After all, it was Princess Yong who drugged the baby. It was her own fault.
No matter where the prescription came from, Tao Wanyin was the most guilty.
The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully.
The look he gave Princess Yong was already filled with deep dissatisfaction, but considering the child in her belly, he had to suppress his anger.
The Queen Mother consoled him, "It seems that Qingwu also has good intentions."
This niece, apart from the last time she talked back to her, her temperament and character can be seen from the fact that she rescued Yuan Heng from falling into the water and Qingyun from falling off a cliff. She is a kind-hearted child.
At this moment, Yinxiang, who was standing behind Tao Wanyin, lightly touched her elbow, reminding her of something.
The master and servant looked at each other for a moment, and Tao Wanyin turned around to look at the empress dowager.
"Mother, I was misled by Ji Qingwu because she hated the prince. That's why she wanted to use me to make the prince childless."
Ji Qingwu's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and tears appeared in her eyes.
"I have no grudge against Prince Yong, and he is my cousin. Why would I hate him? Why would I do such a cruel thing to him?"
Tao Wanyin said, "I once asked Xiao Ningzi, who is with the prince, that the prince and Ji Qingwu were together on the night when the incident at Yucui Tower happened and Ji Changyan was arrested."
The Queen Mother was also shocked when she heard this: "What's the point of staying together?"
"that is--"
Ji Qingwu's expression also changed, and he interrupted fiercely: "Princess, you can't talk nonsense about things you didn't see with your own eyes."
Tao Wanyin touched her belly with her hand and looked at Ji Qingwu, who was no longer delicate. The gentle expression on her face turned into contempt.
After she used the first prescription to regulate her body, she was grateful to the skilled doctor Miss Ji Wu. However, with the reminder of her maid Yinxiang, they discovered something strange.
Why would Ji Qingwu help her so hard?
Just because she is Ji Qingrong's close friend, or because she wants to curry favor with her as the Princess of Yong, it's ridiculous that she is in a difficult situation in the palace. Who would care about her, a princess in name only.
Later, she bribed the prince's servant and accidentally learned that Ji Qingwu and Prince Yong had spent the night on the dragon boat...
She is the same as Prince Yong’s other women! Ji Qingwu just wanted to use her.
But Tao Wanyin still used the second prescription.
Only by getting pregnant could her situation change. Even if she made mistakes, Prince Yong and the Queen Mother would still let her off for the sake of the child in her womb.
When the melons are ripe and fall to the ground ten months later, she will be credited with giving birth to a child, and any big mistake will become a small one.
Tao Wanyin said calmly, "Every word I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can call Xiao Ningzi to question me. If that doesn't work, you can ask the prince."
The Queen Mother had a sullen face and said nothing. Aunt Fanghua stood behind her, not daring to move or try to persuade her any further.
Ji Qingwu felt a surge of impatience in his heart.
I didn't expect Tao Wanyin to be able to find out what happened that night. What would the Queen Mother do if she found out...
When the people in the hall were in a state of anxiety, a voice was heard outside the door.
"Mother!"
When the Queen Mother heard the call, she looked over and her eyes softened instantly.
Seeing the person in pink palace dress, Ji Qingwu became even more anxious, because the person who came was not the one she thought.
Last time Princess Huachang came to rescue us, but this time she came just to cause trouble.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Qingyun, why are you here? Your knee is still injured. Why don't you just lie down in bed and rest? Why don't you walk?"
Princess Qingyun pushed aside the eunuch who was trying to stop her, walked in and said dissatisfiedly, "Mother, I heard that something happened in my third brother's house, and I was anxious to come and see."
In fact, she heard that Ji Qingwu had entered the palace, and she couldn't lie down anymore, so she wanted to come and take a look. But she was stopped at the door. She leaned against the door and listened to the conversation inside for a long time before she learned about what had happened in Prince Yong's Mansion.
Ji Qingwu met the princess's gaze and saw her winking at him lively.
Princess Qingyun has indeed suffered a lot these days. Her face looks much thinner and her lips are pale and bloodless, but her eyes are brighter than before.
Ji Qingwu really couldn't understand what the little princess was thinking. Why was she flirting with him?
Princess Qingyun sat down next to Ji Qingwu.
She said nonchalantly, "Mother, I just heard something about my fifth cousin and third brother staying overnight at the door. That's impossible."
The Queen Mother asked, "Why not?"
Princess Qingyun said, "Have you forgotten, mother? Fifth cousin had taken a fancy to my prince consort before, and she is still hurt by her love. How could she have developed feelings for Third Brother again?"
"Isn't that right, fifth cousin?" He winked at her again.
Ji Qingwu pulled the corners of his mouth hard, and said the two words with great difficulty: "Is...right."
Although she didn't know why Princess Qingyun suddenly appeared and spoke for her, this way of resolving the situation really didn't make her happy.
Li Chengxun and Prince Yong, Ji Qingwu felt that these two people were like...
One is sugar covered in mud.
From a distance, it still exudes an enticing sweet scent, tempting people to move forward, but when you look closely up close, you will find that it has already been corroded by the filth of the world.
Another one is simply sugar made from sewage sludge.
They pretend to be candy to deceive the world. Their only outstanding features are their appearance and family background. But they are all show and no substance.
She didn't want to have anything to do with either of these two men anymore.
But there was no better way at this time, she could only hope that Princess Qingyun's words could make the matter go away.
The Queen Mother was not disturbed by Qingyun's words and asked, "Princess, is this true?"
Tao Wanyin was still hesitating whether or not to reveal the truth, but she saw the Queen Mother's surprised look.
She said directly: "You can check it out, mother. I also heard from Xiao Ningzi that Ji Qingwu was poisoned by a strong aphrodisiac that night, and Ji Changyan personally sent her to the prince's dragon boat. The prince spent a night with her... with her to save her life. Afterwards, she did not get a legitimate status, so she resented the prince."
The first part was what she heard from the servant, and the second part was her guess.
