Chapter 286: Bad Face
Upon hearing this, Princess Rongyang immediately took a step back.
"Mother, your poison hasn't been cured yet?"
Jiang Xianhao glared at Emperor Rongcheng.
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. My poison has been cured."
As she spoke, she was about to stand up to prove that she was fine, but because she was dizzy, her body swayed a little. Emperor Rong Cheng quickly stepped forward and supported her.
"You, it's already this late, and you're still trying to be brave."
As he spoke, he took out the antidote he had taken from Concubine Hui from his arms and presented it to Jiang Xianhao.
"This is today's antidote, you should take it soon."
Jiang Xianhao looked at the pill in Rong Chengdi's hand and looked up at him.
"Your Majesty, are you coming from the cold palace?"
Emperor Rongcheng frowned.
"I'm going to get you the antidote, so naturally I have to come from the cold palace."
Jiang Xianhao couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Emperor Rongcheng who was trying hard to deny himself.
"Why is your majesty so nervous?"
Emperor Rongcheng paused, turned his head away helplessly, and did not dare to look directly at Jiang Xianhao.
"I...just...thought you would..."
"What do you think I will do?"
Jiang Xianhao spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, you are underestimating me. It's been so many years. I didn't care about it before, so why would I care about it now?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head, took the pill from Emperor Rong Cheng's hand, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Rongcheng immediately went to fetch water.
But Jingtan was one step faster and handed the water to Jiang Xianhao in advance.
Jiang Xianhao took it, took a sip, and swallowed the pill directly.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Rongcheng put down his teacup and reached for the candied fruit.
Jiang Xianhao suddenly looked at him.
"Your Majesty, has the imperial physician tested this antidote?"
Emperor Rongcheng paused for a moment, then he remembered that he was too anxious that day and did not ask the imperial physician to examine him.
However, he secretly felt that there would be no problem, so he immediately retorted: "The imperial physician can't even make the antidote himself, so what's the point of him seeing him?"
Jiang Xianhao nodded and smiled softly.
"I was overthinking it. I just thought that since Concubine Hui poisoned me, then this antidote must be unreliable."
Emperor Rongcheng thought of what Concubine Hui said and his tone was very firm.
"Don't worry, she is sincerely repentant this time and will definitely not harm you again."
"When you get better, I will punish her severely."
Jiang Xianhao nodded and lowered his eyes.
The eyes hidden in the darkness flashed with self-mockery and obscurity for a moment.
It seems that Concubine Hui holds a high position in his heart, so she has to think of other ways.
Princess Rongyang frowned as she watched the interaction between Jiang Xianhao and Emperor Rongcheng, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she hesitated for a moment and then didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that Rong Chengdi and Jiang Xianhao were finally on better terms, she didn't want to disturb them, so she immediately took a step back and said,
"Mother, I haven't seen Grandmother yet. Please talk to Father first. I'll go see Grandmother."
Jiang Xianhao stood up upon hearing this.
"I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time. In that case, I will go with you."
Emperor Rongcheng really wanted to spend some time with Jiang Xian, so he followed suit and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't visited my mother in the past few days. In that case, let's go together."
With that, the three of them went to Shou'an Palace together.
At this time, the Queen Mother was sighing in the room.
"It's been so long, and Hechuan hasn't come back yet. I wonder if he encountered any trouble along the way?"
Nanny Li was massaging the Empress Dowager's head and whispered comforting words.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the Crown Prince is blessed by heaven and will be safe.
Counting the days, I think he will be back in ten days."
The Queen Mother nodded and sighed again.
At this time, Emperor Rongcheng led two people in.
"What is it that makes the Queen Mother so upset?"
When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Rongcheng, Jiang Xianhao and Rong Yang coming together, her eyes lit up and she looked at the pale Jiang Xianhao calmly.
"The Queen doesn't look well."
The Queen Mother was old, so the fact that Jiang Xianhao was poisoned was kept secret from her.
The Queen Mother has been worried about Shen Hechuan's affairs during this period. She has spent a lot of energy on the public opinion about Shen Hechuan and therefore cannot sleep at night.
Later, after the matter was successfully resolved, the Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she also fell ill for a few days.
Nanny Li also secretly found out that the Queen was poisoned, but seeing that the Queen Mother was sleeping soundly at the time, she did not tell her.
By the time the empress dowager woke up, Jiang Xianhao's poison had been cured. Emperor Rongcheng came over and specifically instructed Li Ma not to tell the empress dowager about this.
Nanny Li thought that since the poison had been cured and the Queen was not seriously injured, she did not tell the Queen Mother.
Now, Jiang Xianhao heard the Queen Mother's words and knew that she was not aware of the situation, so he found a reason to explain:
"Hechuan and Jinxi have not been in Tiandu recently. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, so I did this."
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother also sighed.
"It's been so long, and I don't know what's going on in Tsurukawa."
The Queen Mother said this and looked towards Emperor Rongcheng.
"Does the Emperor have any news about Hechuan and Jinxi?"
"It's really worrying that a child as young as Jinxi went to such a dangerous place."
Seeing the empress dowager's worry, Emperor Rongcheng explained, "The news just came back that he has left Qi County. He should be back in half a month."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. The Crown Prince is surrounded by elite soldiers to protect him. He will be fine."
The Queen Mother nodded upon hearing this, but for some reason, she felt vaguely uneasy.
Upon hearing this, Princess Rongyang took a step forward and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.
"I think grandma is only thinking about the crown prince and doesn't care about Rongyang at all."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately raised her head and chuckled.
"Girl, you act cute all day long, who wouldn't love you?"
"Ask your father, the emperor, and your mother, who in this palace is as favored as you."
Princess Rongyang smiled and pouted her lips in a coquettish manner.
"I don't care. I want to be my grandmother's favorite princess."
"Okay, okay, you are grandma's favorite little princess."
The Queen Mother gently poked Princess Rongyang on the forehead.
"Tell me, what good things have you set your eyes on recently?"
Princess Rongyang frowned when she heard this.
"Hmph, what are you talking about, Grandma? In Grandma's eyes, Rongyang loves you only because of your things?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Princess Rongyang retorted.
"In that case, I will give that colorful glass lotus to someone else."
When Princess Rongyang heard this, her eyes brightened instantly.
