Chapter 108 How about I avenge you? Are you moved?
Yun Si had been observing discreetly.
Each discovery sent a chill down her spine.
"All of you may leave, except for Prince Xiao."
Emperor Jiaqing sent everyone away, leaving only Qin Ye in the tent.
Several people helped the Prince Lin away slowly.
Yun Si lowered her eyes and followed behind the crowd. She felt someone watching her, but when she turned around, the gaze had already moved away.
She knew it was Qin Ye.
Yun Si felt a pang of sadness. They were husband and wife, yet they didn't even dare to look each other in the eye normally.
That's ridiculous.
As soon as she stepped out of the tent, Lansing waited anxiously outside. Before she could even speak, she suddenly heard someone call out to her, "Fourth sister-in-law."
She is Princess Consort Lin, Zhu Yurou.
Her eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.
"Second sister-in-law."
Yun Si curtsied to her and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Zhu Yurou looked at her with concern and asked, "I just heard that you and Prince Xiao fell off a cliff. Are you alright?"
"fine."
"What about the wound from the previous assassination attempt? Has it healed?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Second Sister-in-law. I'm fine now."
After replying casually, Yun Si said politely but distantly, "If you have something to say, Second Sister-in-law, please feel free to speak."
Zhu Yurou, having her thoughts exposed, wasn't embarrassed. She smiled and said somewhat shyly, "Actually, I know that my sister-in-law's medical skills are even better than those of the imperial physicians in the palace, so I was thinking, could you write me a prescription to dispel the cold toxins..."
"good."
Yun Si neither denied nor refused, and readily agreed: "Thank you for trusting me, Second Sister-in-law. I will write down the prescription and have Lan Xin send it to you later."
"Really?"
Zhu Yurou was surprised that Yun Si agreed so readily. For a moment, she was so moved that she didn't know what to say: "I... thank you, thank you sister-in-law."
"Actually, the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician might be better than mine, so why did you come to me alone, Second Sister-in-law?"
Yun Sizhuang asked the question that had been bothering her, seemingly puzzled.
Zhu Yurou glanced around to make sure no one was there, then pulled Yun Si aside and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, this cold poison is not as simple as the imperial physician said. I'm afraid ordinary antidotes will be difficult to completely eliminate it."
How did you know?
Yun Si was slightly startled.
In her view, Zhu Yurou was not a naive person.
If this is true, why would you tell her?
She didn't think their relationship was close enough to discuss such intimate topics.
Zhu Yurou seemed to see the doubt in Yun Si's heart, and smiled lightly, saying sincerely, "You may not believe it, but in my life, I don't have many trustworthy people around me. However, I trust you."
Yun Si was deeply surprised, but her expression remained unchanged.
"As for Father, has Second Sister-in-law done anything...?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare to say such a thing."
Zhu Yurou quickly interrupted her, her voice very low: "Father is too suspicious. You must not say anything in front of him, otherwise, you will get into trouble at best, and even implicate your husband at worst."
Upon hearing the word "husband" from her lips, Yun Si nodded in a daze.
I didn't realize their relationship had become so good.
"On Father Emperor's side, the imperial physicians are highly skilled and should be able to see the severity of this cold poison. They dare not be negligent in the slightest. But it's different for Prince Lin. Few people care about him."
When Zhu Yurou mentioned Prince Lin, her tone revealed a hint of heartache, but the look in her eyes also carried a hint of complexity.
Yun Si was unsure whether Zhu Yurou knew about what Prince Lin had done to Qin Ye.
If she knew, would she still say she believed her?
They are adversaries.
They were destined to be unable to live together peacefully like sisters-in-law in ordinary families.
"Second sister-in-law still hasn't told me how she knew this poison was unusual?"
Yun Si pressed for the question that Zhu Yurou had ignored.
Zhu Yurou's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly, as if she had something difficult to say and was somewhat reluctant to answer the question.
"never mind."
Seeing this, Yun Si understood somewhat.
It must be related to the Prince of Lin.
If the assassin was indeed from Northern Yan, and they had previously colluded, it's not hard to understand why they would know the potency of this poison.
However, this means that Zhu Yurou must know what Prince Lin did to Qin Ye, so it's somewhat puzzling that she would still dare to approach him and ask for the prescription.
"If my second sister-in-law doesn't want to talk about it, I won't force her."
After saying this, Yun Si turned and walked towards her tent.
After taking only a few steps, Zhu Yurou hesitated for a moment behind him, then quickly caught up.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just that there are some things I can't help..."
"I understand, Second Sister-in-law."
Yun Si interrupted her, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I will give you the prescription. However, I am not sure if my prescription will work. Therefore, I advise my second sister-in-law not to place all her trust and hope on me alone."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yurou's expression froze slightly.
Then, he gave a bitter smile.
They were all intelligent people; she understood.
"good."
...
The night was hazy.
On a painted boat in the center of the moat.
Jiang Wanning was blindfolded and forcibly invited onto the boat.
Once on the ship, her blindfold was removed.
In my line of sight, the gilded candlesticks reflected the scarlet carpet, and the ambergris burning in the corner smelled clear and pleasant.
What place is this?
Jiang Wanning was both surprised and frightened. She cautiously scanned the boat before finally noticing a man leaning against a gauze curtain directly in front of her.
"We meet again."
The man chuckled softly, in a good mood: "Last time, you wouldn't tell me your name, which made it really hard for me to find you. Later, when I learned you were injured, I found out the culprit for you and even avenged you. How about that? Aren't you touched?"
"you……"
Jiang Wanning couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What injury? What revenge? I don't know you. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
"..."
The man behind the curtain sat up abruptly upon hearing the sound.
Even through the curtain, Jiang Wanning could feel the man's gaze fixed intently on her.
She was terrified.
But he threatened me sharply, "I don't care who you are, release me now! I am the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, the future Princess Consort of Xiao! If you dare to arrest me, my father and His Highness Prince Xiao will not let you off!"
"What did you say?"
The man exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the future Princess Xiao?"
Jiang Wanning thought that her identity had been exposed and the men were starting to be wary of her, so she instantly became very confident.
“That’s right, I am not only the future Princess Xiao, but also the current Empress’s niece. If you release me now, I can let bygones be bygones, otherwise…”
"idiot!"
Before Jiang Wanning could finish speaking, the man suddenly lost his temper and kicked over the coffee table in front of him, shattering the tea set on it.
"You bunch of idiots! I explained it so clearly, how could you still arrest the wrong person? Hurry up and throw this woman out, don't dirty my pleasure boat!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, several people entered cautiously, dragging a bewildered Jiang Wanning, and were about to throw her into the water.
"Ah...no, help!"
Jiang Wanning struggled desperately, still threatening, "I am the future Princess Xiao! How dare you treat me like this..."
"etc."
