Chapter 446: I won’t live for many days
She immediately sent the servants away and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Madam Qin, did your princess really ask you to send this?"
Nanny Qin nodded, "It's absolutely true. I dare not hide it."
"Is what she said above true or false?"
"To the Fourth Princess, I was merely a messenger and do not know what my princess wrote in the letter. My princess only said that the Fourth Princess is extremely intelligent and will be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Xiao Wanzhen held the letter in her hand, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged.
After a while, she asked someone to send Nanny Qin out.
Seeing her strange expression, her confidant couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what happened?"
Xiao Wanzhen looked at the person in front of her, "Yunxiu, can this princess trust you?"
Yunxiu immediately knelt down to express her loyalty, "Princess, I have been serving you since I was a child. I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts."
Xiao Wanzhen's tense heartstrings slowly relaxed.
This is the person closest to her. Her life is in his hands, and she dare not betray him.
Xiao Wanzhen handed the letter to Yunxiu, with a gloomy look around her.
After seeing this, Yunxiu almost cried out in surprise.
"How could this be... The prince and you are siblings, how could he harm you?"
The content of the letter was very simple, only reminding Xiao Wanzhen to be careful of the prince who might try to kill her.
Xiao Wanzhen sneered, "He and I aren't siblings. We've barely exchanged a single word, so how could there be any sibling affection? As for why he wants to harm me, it's naturally because he feels guilty."
Yunxiu was also present at the incident in the palace yesterday.
Her mind raced, and she quickly realized what was happening, her eyes widening in shock.
"Could it be that Doctor Lin is really..."
She didn't finish the second half of her sentence, but both the master and the servant knew what she meant.
Yunxiu was still a little bit incredulous, "Princess, could this be the Ninth Princess's attempt to sow discord?"
The balance in Xiao Wanzhen's heart has already tilted, but the possibility of Xiao Baozhu's instigation cannot be ruled out.
She said, "Then let's wait and see if there are any fish that take the bait."
If Xiao Yanlin really wanted to get rid of her, he would most likely do it through the people around her.
She is now on guard, and it won't be easy for the other party to succeed.
On the contrary, you can catch the turtle in the jar.
Xiao Wanzhen and Yunxiu closed the door and discussed the matter.
On the other side, Nanny Qin had already returned to the Ninth Princess's Mansion to report.
"After reading your letter, the Fourth Princess turned pale with fear and repeatedly questioned the truth of what was in the letter."
Xiao Baozhu nodded.
After this matter was settled, she put it aside for the time being and no longer cared about it.
She has already reminded everyone she should have. If the Fourth Princess had believed her and been alert herself, she might have been able to escape.
If she doesn't care, then she deserves to die.
As for whether she can become his helper, that will be a matter for later.
Xiao Baozhu did not place her hopes on her.
She entered the palace again.
This time she entered the palace, on the one hand to check on her father's condition, and on the other hand to prepare for arranging Jiang Nansheng to enter the palace for medical treatment.
All their plans must be based on the premise that their father is safe and sound.
If something happens to their father and Xiao Yanlin ascends the throne, it will be even more difficult for them to reverse the situation.
Unexpectedly, when he entered the palace this time, Emperor Defeng's condition had worsened again.
The court was suspended again today.
Xiao Baozhu looked at the person who was unconscious on the hospital bed, and tears couldn't help but roll down her cheeks.
After only one day, my father's face had changed. The age spots on his face became more obvious, and he even emitted a faint stench.
She wanted to go forward but was stopped by Feng Youcai.
"Princess, the Emperor is feeling ill. Please don't get too close to him, or you might get sick from him."
Xiao Baozhu was filled with grief.
"It must be that Zhao... that Lin Fang who caused Father to become like this!"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Zhao Shuning is here.
She came to treat Emperor Defeng on the orders of the crown prince.
As soon as Xiao Baozhu saw him, her eyes fixed on her, and the disgust in her eyes was undisguised.
"What kind of medicine did you use on my father? What caused him to become like this?"
Zhao Shuning hurriedly apologized, "I'm terrified. The medicines I used have all been checked by the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital. There's absolutely no problem."
"Then how did my father become like this overnight?"
When Zhao Shuning saw Emperor Defeng lying on the dragon bed, he smelled the rotten smell again and was secretly frightened.
Emperor Defeng's illness progressed so rapidly, I'm afraid the silkworm poison had a backlash on him.
In this state, I'm afraid he won't live long.
Zhao Shuning proposed to take Emperor Defeng's pulse again, but Xiao Baozhu directly refused and wanted to have her arrested.
"You've caused my father to be in this state. You deserve to be thrown into prison! Come, arrest her and torture her severely!"
This person is Zhao Shuning, so she has no reason to be polite.
Zhao Shuning is currently a commoner, and facing Xiao Baozhu's harassment, she can only beg for mercy.
But Xiao Baozhu remained unmoved, and soon someone came forward and took her into custody.
Zhao Shuning cursed in his heart, this idiot is so unreasonable, is he really going to be tortured at her hands?
At this moment, an angry voice came, "Stop."
Zhao Zhaoyi came hurriedly and protected Zhao Shuning behind her.
"Princess, Doctor Lin is the hero who saved the emperor. What are you doing?"
When Xiao Baozhu saw Zhao Zhaoyi's look like an old hen protecting her chicks, her eyes suddenly spit fire.
"The emperor took her medicine and is now unconscious. Zhao Zhaoyi is still taking credit for her? Are you hoping something bad will happen to the emperor?"
When Zhao Zhaoyi was accused of such a big crime, her eyelids twitched and she hurriedly denied it.
"Princess, be careful with your words! I have absolutely no such intention!"
"Then don't try to stop me. This princess will definitely punish the culprit today!"
Zhao Zhaoyi still refused to acknowledge him. "Princess, Doctor Lin's medical skills are recognized by all. She cured the Emperor's illness before. The Emperor's current relapse is due to a long-standing illness. How can you blame Doctor Lin?"
"Whose fault is that?"
Zhao Zhaoyi thought that it was naturally the emperor's own fault.
He was already half dead, and even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would be powerless to help him. Now he was finally dying, and that was fate.
But this cannot be said.
Zhao Zhaoyi avoided the question and repeatedly favored Zhao Shuning, acting as if she was determined to protect her.
When Xiao Baozhu saw this, she felt angry.
But he also knew that he couldn't do anything to her today, so he could only say, "Then let her go. From now on, if she appears in the palace again, I will beat her every time I see her!"
Zhao Zhaoyi's face trembled, and she was obviously extremely angry.
Ever since her son became the crown prince, no one has dared to speak to her in such an attitude.
Zhao Shuning lowered her head. "I am of humble status and unqualified to treat the Emperor. Furthermore, my abilities are limited. I have already used up all my life's knowledge and am no longer able to treat the Emperor's illness. From now on, I will never set foot in the palace again."
Emperor Defeng already had a stench of death and decay, so there was really no need for him to enter the palace again.
Xiao Baozhu snorted coldly, "You still have some self-awareness!"
