While Jiang Li was cursing in his heart, the imperial doctor finally arrived.

After taking Jiang Li's pulse, the imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The princess's main injury is external trauma, nothing else... However, she seems to have been drugged or something like that."

"Drugs?"

Princess Jing'an's face became even more ugly, "How could there be drugs..."

Jiang Li had such a big incident with her and was drugged. It is obvious that they are inseparable from each other.

If it can't be done well, it will probably arouse suspicion, because it's their hands.

Jiang Li injured his shoulder, so he couldn't apply the medicine himself. He just went aside and wrote down the oral medicine, left the golden sore medicine and left.

The princess then said to Qin Jue who was standing aside, "Fifth brother, if you want to give medicine to Ali, please stay away first."

Qin Jue glanced at Jiang Li, still very worried, "Then... you can call me anytime if you need anything."

After Qin Jue left, Lan Yin picked up the golden sore medicine and walked towards the bed.

The princess thought that the momentum was not good now, so she had to at least make Jiang Li believe in her.

So she said with a concerned look, "Li, let me give you medicine!"

Jiang Li was flattered, "Huh? Isn't that good...just let my maid come."

"It's okay. I feel bad that something like this happened to you. If you ask me to do something for you, I will feel better."

With that said, the princess took the medicine bottle from Lan Yin's hand.

But as soon as she reached out to Jiang Li, Lan Yin suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait!"

The princess was stunned when she saw Lan Yin frowning and taking out the medicine bottle in her hand and putting it aside. Then she grabbed her hand very rudely and put it to the tip of her nose to smell it.

"Be bold!"

The princess felt offended by Lan Yin's move, and she jerked her hand away and backed away angrily, "What are you doing?"

Lan Yin saluted her without being humble or overbearing, "Princess, I forgive you, but..."

She glanced at Jiang Li and then said slowly, "But your hands seem to be stained with poison."

"what?!"

The princess was suddenly startled and stared at her hands in disbelief. If it weren't for her own hands, she would have been thrown away by now.

She raised her hands in the air at a loss, not daring to move, "This...how is this possible? Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Li also spoke at the right time, "Yes, Lan Yin, don't talk nonsense. How could the fourth sister-in-law have poison on her hands? You can't deliberately poison me by giving me the opportunity to apply the medicine, right?"

At first glance, her words sounded like she was defending Princess Jing'an, but in fact, she was obviously doubting her.

The princess immediately became anxious, "You and I have no grievances, how could I harm you? Is there... is there any misunderstanding here?"

Lan Yin said calmly, "This slave smelled the scent of poison tarsus on the princess's hands... This poison is fatal if it touches it, and it is accompanied by a light fragrance similar to osmanthus. If you don't believe it, the princess can smell it herself."

The princess saw that Lan Yin didn't seem to be lying, so she hesitated and brought her hand slightly closer to her nose. Sure enough, she smelled something like osmanthus!

But she never liked osmanthus, and the rouge powder she used was never scented with osmanthus. Is this... could it really be that tarsus scent?

Her heart instantly sank to the bottom, and countless conspiracy theories surged in her heart. She just felt that someone was setting up a trap for their entire palace today. They wanted Jiang Li to die in the Jing'an Palace to frame him!

Her face was pale, but she could still maintain a certain calmness.

She said seriously to Jiang Li, "Princess Changrong, I really don't know what's going on, but don't worry, we will definitely get to the bottom of what happened today and give you an explanation!"

Jiang Li pretended to hesitate, but nodded after a moment, "Of course I believe that the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law will not harm me for no reason."

Lan Yin couldn't help but said: "But..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Jiang Li interrupted Lan Yin and said, "What happened today is strange. Even if the fourth sister-in-law wanted to harm me, she would never use such a clumsy method."

Princess Jing'an was so moved that she almost cried. She nodded excitedly and said, "That's right! How could we be so stupid as to do something in our own house?"

Lan Yin said no more, "Then slave girl, go get some water, wash off the contaminated poison, and then apply the medicine to the princess."

After Lan Yin went out, the princess asked, "Li, what happened today? Can you explain it clearly to me? I should have a clue."

Because of Jiang Li's previous words of distinguishing right from wrong, Princess Jing'an obviously had a good impression of her, and her closeness was not as deliberate and rigid as at the beginning.

Because Jiang Li had lost a lot of blood, his face was a little pale and he looked even more pitiful.

"I don't know what happened. Just after I followed the maid who knocked over the tea cup to the guest room, she didn't come in. Only Lan Yu stayed to serve me."

"But it didn't take long for me to feel dizzy, and so did Lan Yu. I, Jiang Jiu, wanted to open the window but found it couldn't, so I realized something might not be right."

"Lan Yu was loyal and wanted to run out for help, but she ran to the door and something suddenly shot in from the back window. Lan Yu... wuwuwu, Lan Yu died."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li shed "sad" tears.

"I was very scared and wanted to go over and have a look, but as soon as I took two steps, my legs went weak. At the same time, a short arrow shot in again and pierced my shoulder."

"I didn't have the strength to run out, and the wound hurt. I was afraid that the person would attack me from outside again, so I hid over the table."

"Later I heard some noise outside, so I dared to go out and ask for help."

After listening to the whole process, Princess Jing'an realized something and suddenly stood up and rushed to the door, telling the people outside, "Where is the maid who knocked over Princess Changrong's tea cup before? Go and catch her!"

When the servants heard this, they hurriedly followed the instructions, and at this time Lan Yin also came back to fetch water.

After washing all the places that might have been contaminated by the poison, Lan Yin personally stepped forward to apply the golden sore medicine on Jiang Li and bandaged her wounds.

Then Jiang Li took the initiative and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm not in good spirits. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here any longer today."

Princess Jing'an nodded, "Ah Li, your injury is serious. I should have left you here to rest, but after something like this happened today, I really don't dare to leave you here."

"I'll have someone escort you back to the palace right now."

Jiang Li paused for a moment but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my father, the emperor, and my empress will be worried if I go back like this. It's not convenient for my fourth sister-in-law to stay here, so I'm going to stay at Prince Donglin's Mansion for one night."

The princess was stunned and couldn't help frowning, "This...if someone wants to do harm to you, go to Donglin Prince's Mansion. Are you sure it's okay?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "It's okay. Thank you Fourth Sister-in-law for your concern."

Then she winked at Lan Yin, who walked outside the house and said to Qin Jue, who had been guarding the door, "Your Majesty, the princess will stay at your house for one night first. Is it convenient?"

Qin Jue was stunned, glanced over Lan Yin into the room, and said hesitantly, "Is this...appropriate?"

Lan Yin glanced at him and half-smiled, "Why, does it seem inappropriate for the prince to have the sixth princess of Liang Kingdom?"
