Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Okay, okay, I'll go back now." The prince said helplessly, turning his head and secretly rolling his eyes where Liao Xiaoping couldn't see him, which made Jiang Lianzhu laugh in her heart.

The two children were much more lively together than before, and there were more and more smiles on the prince's face.

"Go back." The prince said to the attendants beside him. Liao Xiaoping quickly took the umbrellas from the two attendants. One of the umbrellas was held on the prince's head, and the two attendants directly lifted the prince together with the seat under him. Lift it up and walk to the bedroom.

Jiang Lianzhu found it strange that this prince, whom he hadn't seen for a while, couldn't even walk?

However, the prince's face did not look good. He was even more pale due to the cold wind outside.

Several people entered the prince's palace, and Liao Xiaoping quickly poured him a glass of hot water for the prince to drink and warm himself up.

"Why are you so careful? How can you catch a cold if you are so tightly wrapped?" The prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Liao Xiaoping responded perfunctorily twice and watched him finish his drink before giving up.

Jiang Lianzhu also asked: "Prince, can you let the daughter-in-law take your pulse?"

"Okay." The prince was not surprised why she would bring this up, and he stretched out his hand calmly.

Jiang Lianzhu put her slender, green-white fingers on his pulse, but she frowned and found no signs of poisoning on his body. Instead, she found that his pulse was very similar to Xian Gongfu's, and he was severely deficient.

"Prince, you should take more care of yourself. Don't work too hard. Keep warm from the cold." Jiang Lianzhu retracted her hand and said.

"With Xiao Ping here, I can't even think about not taking care of my body." Looking at Liao Xiao Ping who was standing by, the prince shook his head helplessly, "By the way, has Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Liao made any progress in the case of Prince Xiang? "

Hearing him ask about Prince Xiang's Mansion in vain, Jiang Lianzhu was slightly startled and glanced at Liao Xiaoping vaguely.

In fact, everyone knew privately that they were running for Prince Xiang's Mansion, but it would inevitably be bad if this matter was brought to the surface.

Seeing Jiang Lianzhu's concerns, the prince didn't mind and just smiled: "Actually, I don't think that Prince Xiang's palace will do anything to rebel. Qi Gu has always liked the prince's cousin. Before his accident, he was also a famous person. The talented man in the capital. The reason why I asked Mrs. Jiang these things is just out of concern."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded, but his words were still somewhat ambiguous: "We have found some clues so far, but further research is needed."

It's not that she doesn't want to elaborate, it's just that she's not completely sure yet, and there are many people in the palace talking about different things. If the walls have ears and someone is listening, it will inevitably cause trouble.

The prince nodded. Some progress is better than no progress.

"Xiao Ping, please talk to Mrs. Jiang. I'm a little tired." The prince said, squinting his eyelids tiredly.

"Yes. Then I will ask the attendants to come in and help you rest now." Liao Xiaoping nodded, and then greeted the attendants who were standing outside. After giving some careful instructions, he and Jiang Lianzhu left together.

Jiang Lianzhu noticed that the prince did not walk by himself when he came back from outside. She thought that the palace people were careful and were afraid that he would fall outside.But at this time, he was in the dormitory, and he still needed to be carried to the bed, so he couldn't help but think deeply about it.

Unexpectedly, the prince's body was already so depleted.

"Don't you like practicing martial arts? Why are you starting to dance with swords now?" Jiang Lianzhu teased with a smile.

Liao Xiaoping was a little embarrassed: "The prince is my good friend, and I want to protect him."

Ever since he met someone who poisoned the prince, he had already had this idea. He underestimated the dangers in the palace. He didn't expect that the prince was in such bad health. It was even known to everyone that he would not live long. The name of the prince was only in name only, but still Someone attacked him.

Jiang Lianzhu was relieved, but also worried: "You must also protect your own safety."

"I know, mother." Liao Xiaoping replied with a smile.

He insisted on sending Jiang Lianzhu out of the palace. In a remote place with no one, he quietly told Jiang Lianzhu: "During this period, I have secretly poured out all the possibly poisoned medicine that the prince drank."

Jiang Lianzhu had already guessed that after all, no traces of poisoning could be found on the prince's body, but he did not rule out other possibilities.

She never thought that her medical skills were invincible here, nor did she think that her medical skills were the most powerful. After all, there were people outside the world, and there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be poisons that she couldn't see.

However, Liao Xiaoping's actions were inevitably risky, and Jiang Lianzhu was still worried. After all, she was not a saint, so she naturally hoped that her children would be safe.

She lowered her voice seriously: "Where did you pour the medicine? Does anyone else know about this besides you?"

This is no joke. Once the people behind the scenes know about it, Liao Xiaoping will be in danger, let alone they don't even know who did it now.

"Don't worry, mother, while I'm doing the work. Apart from me, only the prince knows about this matter, but he didn't ask much. It's just that the child used the prince's palace card to secretly leave the palace to buy some medicinal materials from the prescription a few days ago. Make medicine for the prince to drink. It’s hard to leave the palace for too long, for fear of being noticed by others, so I didn’t go back to see you.” Liao Xiaoping smiled sheepishly.

"Do outsiders know about your leaving the palace?" Although Jiang Lianzhu also knew that Liao Xiaoping had been mature and thoughtful since he was a child, she was still worried when it came to his safety.

Liao Xiaoping said: "I pretended to be a eunuch in the palace and sneaked out. I also chose a time when there were few people. I also took a side road with almost no people. No one should recognize me."

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu felt relieved.

"Just be sensible. Your mother and brothers and sisters are waiting for you at home. After these things are over, you will come back home to accompany your mother." She sighed helplessly, "The first priority now is the safety of you and the prince. Don’t show off in everything, if anything happens, just write to mom.”

"Thank you, mother, for taking the trouble." Liao Xiaoping nodded, feeling soft in his heart.

Mother and son didn't spend much time together. Jiang Lianzhu had no intention of dragging her around in the palace. On the other hand, she also considered that Liao Xiaoping had to rest and go to Taixue to attend classes in the afternoon.After Liao Xiaoping sent her to the palace gate, Jiang Lianzhu asked him to go back.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Lianzhu felt mixed emotions in her heart.Now that Liao Xiaoping and the prince have such a good relationship, I wonder if one day... he will be able to bear it.

She shook her head to get rid of the bad guesses in her mind, and then thought of the prince's bad appearance.

Anyway, now she is just waiting for news about Liao Yunchuan and Han Xu, and has nothing to do. She might as well make a wheelchair for the prince that can cross the threshold, which will not let down their friendship.
