Chapter 322: Life is worse than death
Before Chu Huining could finish his words, Sheng Xian interrupted him with a stern face: "What is it? His Highness is the prince of the dynasty, and Zheng Wenwu is just a dog. Princess should be thankful that His Highness did not bring this matter to the emperor, otherwise it would not be as simple as just Zheng Wenwu dying."
However, asking Zheng Wenwu to die in such a humiliating way would undoubtedly break Chu Huining's heart, and living would be worse than death.
The master's method is even more torturous.
"You bastard, my son is a prince appointed by the emperor himself. How can you, a dog slave, be so disrespectful here? I want to see the emperor. Chu Jinyan is so crazy that he is not worthy of being a prince." Chu Huining's eyes widened and his chest seemed to be burning with fire.
Chu Jinyan was such a beast, how dare he murder her son like this.
Sheng Xian lazily looked at the furious Chu Huining, his face full of mystery, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more sarcastic after hearing her words.
"Princess, please allow me to guess whether the emperor will pull Zheng Wenwu out of the coffin and whip his corpse and pulverize his bones after learning the truth, or will he demote you and your son to commoners? By the way, Princess, the crime of murdering the prince of the dynasty is even more serious. Princess, do you think the emperor will torture you to death or have you torn into pieces by five horses?"
Hehehe!
You really think you are a dish. When the emperor indulges you, you are the honorable eldest princess. But when the emperor looks down on you, you are nothing.
It would be bad enough that he even dared to harm his own prince, but now he is holding his prince's beloved daughter hostage. Isn't this just sharpening his head to serve his prince?
Chu Huining must be made to taste the excruciating pain that is worse than death.
Chu Huining glared at Sheng Xian viciously. If looks could kill, Sheng Xian would have been shot to pieces long ago.
She hated him to the core. Chu Jinyan killed her son, and she would never give up until she had her revenge.
Didn't she like Lu Xiang? So she sold that little bitch to a cheap brothel, letting thousands of men ride on her and sleep with her, to vent her hatred.
Chu Huining gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes almost bleeding with hatred.
Sheng Xian knew from her expression that Chu Huining was thinking of some sinister plan in her mind. With a sneer, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the outer room. When Chu Huining thought he had left, Sheng Xian came back.
He held a teacup in his hand and slowly approached the bed.
Chu Huining widened his eyes and looked at Sheng Xian with vigilance.
Sheng Xian stood at the head of the bed and looked at Chu Huining expressionlessly: "Princess, I'm sorry."
After he finished speaking, Sheng Xian pinched Chu Huining's chin with one hand and poured a cup of tea into her mouth.
Chu Huining struggled continuously, but she was so weak that she couldn't pull Sheng Xian's hand away. The tea flowed down her throat, choking her and making her cough continuously. Even though half of the tea spilled, the rest went into her stomach.
After feeding, Sheng Xian let go of Chu Huining and took a few steps back.
Chu Huining lay on the edge of the bed, his fingers constantly pressing against his throat, trying to vomit.
"What did you give me to drink, you dog slave?"
Chu Huining could never have imagined that Chu Jinyan was so bold that he ordered people to break into her dormitory to poison her.
"Someone come...someone come..."
Chu Huining looked at Sheng Xian in horror and opened his mouth to shout, but suddenly he couldn't make a sound halfway through.
She kept opening her mouth as if wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
Sheng Xian didn't stay any longer and turned away.
Chu Huining looked at the house that had suddenly become quiet, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually spread.
She was now certain that what Sheng Xian gave her to drink was not poison, but it made her scalp tingle even more.
Chu Jinyan sent a subordinate to provoke me. Was it just to give her a dumb potion?
Impossible.
Chu Huining struggled to get off the bed, anxiously wanting to ask someone to get the imperial physician for her. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she fell to the ground, and her forehead hit the stool where Sheng Xian had just sat. She felt dizzy for a while, and then lost consciousness.
The rain outside stopped at some point and Nanny Duan woke up suddenly. She looked around and found herself in the outer room of the princess' bedroom. She had just been lying on the table. A trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. She wondered when she had fallen asleep.
Princess--
Nanny Duan was shocked and ran towards the inner room. She saw Chu Huining lying on the ground unconscious, and hurriedly helped her up.
"Princess, Princess..."
Nanny Duan shouted and pinched Chu Hui's philtrum, but she still did not wake up.
"Someone, someone, come!"
Nanny Duan shouted towards the door, but strangely no one responded.
She was suspicious. What was going on?
Even if she asked some servants from the main courtyard to help in the front courtyard, she also left a few people behind. Why didn't anyone come now?
She couldn't just leave Chu Huining lying on the ground while she went out to find someone, so she helped him to the bed with great effort and hurriedly went to call a doctor.
After Nanny Duan hurriedly called the doctor over, she saw several maids who stayed in the courtyard looking at each other and walking towards the main house.
"Where did you go?" Nanny Duan asked with a sullen face.
One of the maids said in confusion, "Mammy, we accidentally fell asleep."
"What?" Aunt Duan was startled when she heard this: "You all fell asleep?"
If one person accidentally fell asleep, it could be understood that it was because he was too tired, but when so many people fell asleep at the same time, it just seemed wrong.
More importantly, I just woke up in a daze and had no idea when I fell asleep.
Nanny Duan thought about it and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Did you see anyone suspicious?"
The maids paused and shook their heads.
Madam Duan slapped her thigh, thinking something was wrong. She pointed at two of them and said, "You go into the house and guard the princess. The rest of you guard the yard. Everyone be alert."
Seeing that Madam Duan looked as if she was facing a great enemy, the maids hurriedly responded in a serious tone.
Nanny Duan turned and left the main courtyard to find the commander of the guards in the princess's mansion.
"A thief broke into the princess's mansion tonight."
When the commander heard what Madam Duan said, he was shocked at first, then shook his head affirmatively and said, "Impossible, there is not a single disturbance here."
Madam Duan glared at him angrily: "You didn't hear the noise, that's because you're incompetent. That person broke into the main courtyard quietly."
"It's even more impossible. I arranged for people to take turns patrolling at night, and they didn't hear any sound. Moreover, if a thief broke in, why didn't you call for help?"
The commander waved his hand and righteously denied Nanny Duan's speculation.
"I'm afraid Mammy has seen it wrong."
Nanny Duan looked at the tall and strong man in front of her and wanted to slap him in the face.
"The maidservants in the main courtyard and I all fell asleep for unknown reasons, and the princess also fainted on the ground. It was obvious that someone had used a magic incense to knock us out. If anything happens to the princess, I think you will have enough heads chopped off."
The Commander was startled. Since it involved the eldest princess, he had to take it seriously: "Did the princess see the thief?"
Nanny Duan gritted her teeth and said, "The princess is still unconscious."
