Shui Ning Palace.
At this time, Miaoxia and Nanny Lin were both standing around the bed with anxious looks on their faces.
Miaoxia held a warm handkerchief in her hand and kept wiping the cold sweat from her master's forehead, her movements gentle and urgent.
"Master, Miaoyun has gone to fetch His Highness. The imperial physician will be here soon. Master, please be patient."
Nanny Lin was comforting him softly, her face full of worry, her brows furrowed, and she didn't dare to take her eyes off her master for a moment.
The woman on the bed was as pale as paper. She curled up with her hands on her head, hitting her head from time to time. She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her teeth, and was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak.
As soon as Jun Zechen came in, he was shocked by the scene before him.
His eyes instantly became serious.
It was fine when I left just now, how come it suddenly became like this?
When Miaoxia and Nanny Lin saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come in, they immediately greeted him in a panic and then hurriedly made way for him.
Jun Zechen quickly walked to the bed and sat down, holding Su Jingyao's hand tightly as she kept hitting her head, to prevent her from hurting herself again.
Then he carefully lifted her up, held her in his arms, reached out his hand, and gently massaged her temples with his fingers applying a little force.
Jun Zechen had practiced martial arts for many years, and at this moment the heat of his internal energy was continuously emitted from his fingertips. Su Jingyao indeed felt a lot more comfortable, and her frown relaxed a little.
But he still had his eyes closed, looking unconscious.
"what happened?"
Seeing that Su Jingyao's pain had lessened a little, Jun Zechen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Miaoxia and asked.
"Your Highness, the master has been unable to sleep since your Highness left. Miaoyue brought the tranquilizing soup that she had been keeping warm for the master to drink. A quarter of an hour after drinking it, the master began to vomit, and then gradually developed a headache."
Miaoxia answered with her head down.
"Has your master drunk this tranquilizing soup today?"
Is there poison in the tranquilizing soup?
"Originally, the master would drink a bowl of calming or beauty-enhancing soup every day, but today..."
Miaoxia's voice became smaller and smaller, and she hesitated, not knowing how to start.
"What happened today?"
Jun Zechen's eyes became sharp.
"Since His Highness went to Huamei Residence today, the Master has no mood to drink any soup or meal, including the tranquilizing soup. Miaoyue has been keeping it warm."
Miaoxia bit her lip and mustered up the courage to finish her words in one breath.
As the prince's concubine, my master's behavior is jealousy and should not be expressed publicly.
Jun Zechen's eyebrows jumped suddenly.
When he came out of Huamei Residence and came to Shuining Palace, the woman was still playing cards blatantly and did not show any headache at all.
Jun Zechen thought at the time that she was relying on his favor and was fearless.
After all, she sprained her ankle last time during the Flower Festival and was too lazy to pretend.
In addition, this was not the first time that Su Jingyao sent people to other palaces to ask him to leave, so Jun Zechen did not have any doubts at all.
He even felt that she was smarter this time, knowing to just send a palace maid to ask for the favor. This way, even if the queen mother investigated, there would be no loss by pushing an insignificant palace maid away.
But now it seems that it is not the case?
"Could your master send someone to Huameiju today to ask me to come and see her?"
Jun Zechen asked in a deep voice.
Nanny Lin then spoke up, "Your Highness, the master knew you went to Huamei Residence today and was in a bad mood. He didn't drink the tranquilizing soup. Later, Miaoxia played cards with the master to amuse him."
Nanny Lin observed Jun Zechen's expression as she spoke.
"Normally, if His Highness doesn't come to Shui Ning Palace, the Master will read quietly, but tonight the Master can't even read..."
Then Nanny Lin knelt down with a plop. "Your Highness, the master has a bit of a temper, but she will never break the rules and deceive Your Highness! The master did not order anyone to go to Huamei Residence to invite Your Highness tonight!"
So the reason why Su Jingyao admitted that she did it was because he didn't believe her, so she just admitted it?
Jun Zechen couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment. It was indeed his preconceived notions.
He looked down at the pale woman in his arms, and his heart ached.
She was still young and spoke and acted directly. When she first explained that it was the Crown Princess who framed her, he should have believed her.
"Today I will go to Huamei Residence to ask for my maid to leave. Please call her in."
Jun Zechen's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth.
When Miaoxia turned around and walked out, the anxious expression on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a sneer.
With a cold sneer, he realized that if he hurt his master, he would never be able to escape unscathed. Even if the Crown Princess was behind him, what difference would it make?
Soon, Miaoxia came in with Aokiji.
Aokiji was already panicking about having to invite the prince tonight, and he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Now that he was suddenly summoned, he was terrified and extremely frightened.
"This servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Her voice trembled violently, and she knelt on the ground trembling.
Jun Zechen didn't scream or say anything, but his big hands continued to gently massage Su Jingyao's temples.
Aokiji knelt on the ground with his head buried, not daring to look up at the prince's expression. But when he just came in, he quickly glanced at the concubine's pale face.
What's going on?
She was extremely scared now. The unknown direction of events made her hands tremble constantly, and her body also trembled slightly.
Jun Zechen has been the emperor for decades and is best at psychological games. When interrogating someone, he naturally has to do so when the other person's psychological defenses are at their weakest, so he remains silent and creates a depressing atmosphere.
