Afterwards, Su Jingyao continued to instruct, "Use the same methods they used to murder the First Prince on the Third Prince."
At this moment, her expression became extremely cold, and her delicate face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Nanny Lin frowned slightly, looking worried.
"Willow catkins are not a big deal. Babies are more sensitive to these things, which can easily cause shortness of breath, coughing, and other conditions. If it is discovered early, the Third Prince's life will not be in danger."
"But if the Third Prince's nurse drank the poison, the Third Prince would not survive after drinking her milk for a few days."
"If you dare to hurt Xingxing, you will die. I am so cruel and vicious. Isn't that what Concubine De wants to see? Naturally, I will help her."
"I just don't know if Concubine De can withstand my cruelty."
Nanny Lin's eyes also became firm, and she nodded, "Yes, Master."
On this day, it was late at night and Jun Zechen rested in Kunning Palace. He held Su Jingyao in his arms and they both fell asleep.
At this time, Anshun, who was outside the door, looked anxious like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.
Someone from Concubine De's side came to report that the third prince was vomiting non-stop and even had shortness of breath, and had already been seen by several imperial physicians.
But now, His Majesty's attitude towards Concubine De has changed. How could he dare to rashly disturb His Majesty and the Queen because of Concubine De's affairs?
However... this is the third prince.
Just now, Anshun ordered a young eunuch to go to Yiku Palace to check the situation. The young eunuch ran back in a hurry, panting.
"Since Your Majesty hasn't come in a while, Concubine De has sent someone to invite the Queen Mother. It's estimated that the Queen Mother will arrive at Yikun Palace soon."
Anshun's heart sank suddenly. If the empress dowager had already arrived at the Yiku Palace, then there was really no reason for His Majesty and the Queen not to be present.
Afterwards, Anshun walked into the palace carefully, and then went all the way to the bedroom. Outside the screen, he called out very softly.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Jun Zechen frowned, was woken up from his sleep, and slowly opened his eyes.
Su Jingyao also woke up because of the noise and asked sleepily, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Anshun heard the noises made by his two masters and knew that they had woken up.
He continued, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is said that the Third Prince is vomiting and breathing rapidly. He has been to several imperial physicians, and the situation is not good. The Empress Dowager is already on her way to Yikun Palace."
Jun Zechen frowned tightly, turned his head to glance at Su Jingyao who was still sleepy, and said softly: "Yaoyao, continue to sleep, I'll go and check on you."
Su Jingyao forced herself to cheer up and sat up.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has already gone. As the Queen and the legitimate mother of the Third Prince, I naturally have to go and see her as well."
Jun Zechen nodded, and then the two of them quickly changed their clothes and headed towards Yiku Palace.
Fortunately, the Yiku Palace was not far away, and when they arrived, the Queen Mother had not arrived yet.
When Concubine De saw the emperor and empress coming hand in hand, especially when her eyes met the empress, her heart was burning with rage and she wanted to eat the empress alive.
Concubine De had never expected that the Queen would be so cruel. She actually tried to take the Third Prince's life!
If he didn't happen to have the antidote to the poison in his hand, the Third Prince would have died in his sleep tonight!
However, at this moment, she could not reveal that the third prince was in trouble because of poisoning, otherwise how could she explain where the antidote came from.
She poisoned the eldest prince because she knew that the wet nurse had not taken the poison at all. She just wanted to make the queen nervous and make her panic because of the eldest prince, which would reveal her true face.
That's why they used the willow catkins method later, which could hurt the eldest prince but would not put his life in danger.
But what about the Queen? What proof did she have that she was the one who did all this? She just returned all the tricks intact.
For some reason, willow catkins appeared in the third prince's bedding. The catkins were extremely fine, causing the third prince to breathe rapidly and cough incessantly.
Such a young child would have died long ago if it weren't for Doctor Li.
Concubine De knelt on the ground with tears on her face, her body trembling slightly, and she cried at the top of her lungs.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty and the Queen. I beg Your Majesty to make this decision for me. The Third Prince was murdered. He is still so young. How could someone be so cruel?"
"Please get up, Concubine De." Jun Zechen said with a slight frown.
Then, Jun Zechen turned his gaze to Doctor Li and asked solemnly, "How is the Third Prince doing now?"
Imperial Physician Li quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is coughing because of respiratory distress. I have used some methods to help him breathe more freely. There is no serious problem."
"As for the cause of the persistent vomiting, I am still investigating. At present, it seems that the Third Prince is out of danger."
Concubine De stared at the queen's calm eyes and clenched her fists tightly.
This time she must let His Majesty see clearly what kind of person his queen is!
