As a doctor, Dr. Tao always performed his duties conscientiously. Even though he was quite frightened and his daughter was so frightened that she could no longer hold the tea, he saw that Shen Wan's face was pale, so he asked Shen Wan to sit down and take her pulse.
Shen Wan was a little frightened, but the medicine was poisonous, so it was better not to take it. Doctor Tao did not prescribe medicine for Shen Wan and asked Yinshuang and Haitang to take Shen Wan back to Mo Yuxuan.
The two maids' hands and feet were cold, especially Yinshuang's. This was the closest she had come to death. She had never been so scared before following the princess's assassination.
If she hadn't given the pastry to Miss Tao, she might have eaten it after leaving the pharmacy. Even if she endured it, she wouldn't have endured it until she returned to Mo Yuxuan and shared it with Haitang and Dong'er, a few maids...
The scorching sun was blazing above her head, but Yinshuang only felt cold all over her body, the chill coming from her bones.
Shen Wan walked towards Mo Yuxuan. As soon as he reached the entrance of Mo Yuxuan courtyard, there was a familiar sound of urgent footsteps behind him.
Shen Wan turned around and saw Xie Jingyan walking over in three steps at a time. Under the sun, his handsome and enchanting face lost its previous calmness and calmness, only pale and fearful.
Shen Wan had never seen such a look on his face, not even when he fell off the cliff at Huguo Temple.
Xie Jingyan came over and didn't say anything. He just held Shen Wan in his arms so tightly that she could hardly breathe. However, Shen Wan didn't struggle. She could feel that Xie Jingyan was afraid of losing her.
Shen Wan's nose was sore. How could she let him take her so seriously? She said softly, "I didn't eat the pastries. I'm fine..."
Yes, Shen Wan is fine.
But Xie Jingyan was really frightened.
When he came out of the Household Department, the palace servant rushed over quickly, fell off his horse, and hurriedly told him that the cakes given by the emperor were highly poisonous. He subconsciously thought that Shen Wan had eaten the cakes and was poisoned. At that moment, I just felt like the sky was falling, and I didn't even have the strength to get on my horse.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if Shen Wan really ate the cake, got poisoned, or even... what would happen to him.
Shen Wan let him hold her, and after a while Xie Jingyan let go of her and asked, "Where are those pastries?"
Shen Wan said, "At Dr. Tao's place, Dr. Tao's family has been frightened today..."
Before Shen Wan could finish her words, Xie Jingyan interrupted her, "It's sunny outside, you go back to the house."
He turned to leave, and Shen Wan grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"
Xie Jingyan said, "I'm going to find my father."
His voice was cold.
Shen Wan did not dare to let Xie Jingyan go to the emperor. He would usually start a quarrel with the emperor within a few words, let alone go in anger.
Shen Wan dissuaded, "The news about the poisonous pastries should have reached my father's ears by now. You don't need to tell me again."
He didn't say it once.
He was going to find out who was using the cakes given by the emperor to poison them!
No one can stop Xie Jingyan from doing what he has decided to do.
"Keep an eye on the princess."
After saying this, Xie Jingyan walked away.
Shen Wan was about to catch up, but was stopped by Yinshuang and Haitang. Shen Wan was angry and said, "Whose maid are you two?!"
"The slaves are your maids, the princess, but the slaves don't dare not listen to the prince's words, and the prince is doing it for the princess's good."
……
Royal study room.
The emperor is reviewing the memorial.
Eunuch Yuan brought tea to the emperor and said, "The emperor has read the memorial for a long time. Let's have a cup of tea and take a rest."
The emperor folded the memorial and picked up another one.
Just as he opened it, Little Xizi's father-in-law walked in quickly, stepped forward and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the cakes sent to Prince Ling's Mansion by the palace were poisoned!"
The emperor's hand holding the memorial shook, and Eunuch Yuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he quickly asked, "Prince Ling, did Princess Ling eat cakes?!"
Xiao Xizi shook her head repeatedly, "I haven't eaten. Even Prince Ling and Princess Ling haven't eaten."
Eunuch Yuan covered his heart, which was so frightened that it hurt, and he said, "Prince Ling and Princess Ling didn't even eat the pastries. How did you find out that the pastries were poisoned?"
Xiao Xizi replied, "When the cakes were sent to Prince Ling's Mansion, Prince Ling was not in the mansion. Princess Ling was going to taste a piece, thinking that someone had harmed Princess Jin in the palace before, and someone had poisoned the cakes given to Prince Cheng. She didn't dare to eat it, so she asked the maid to take the pastry to Dr. Tao for inspection. The poison was hidden in the pastry. It was colorless and tasteless, and Doctor Tao didn't even detect it. When Yinshuang saw Dr. Tao's daughter wanting to eat the pastry, she thought about what Doctor Tao said to Ling. The king had the grace to save his life, so he gave the cake to Dr. Tao's daughter. "
"Dr. Tao's daughter was filial and brought cakes back for Mrs. Tao to eat. On the way back, she was frightened by a dog and knocked over the cakes. The dog ate the cakes and was poisoned and died. Only then did she discover that there was a highly toxic substance in the cakes..."
Xiao Xizi finished speaking in one breath, and Eunuch Yuan's heart rose several times. If Princess Ling hadn't been vigilant, she would have fallen into the trap of the poisoner.
Fortunately, no one ate the pastries and no one got poisoned.
These people were so bold that they dared to poison the cakes given by the emperor. Originally, the relationship between the emperor and Prince Ling and his son was not good. This was because something happened after eating the cakes given by the emperor. If they could not find the next A poisonous person, King Ling must not blame the emperor for this matter.
Before, it was only for the child in Princess Ling's belly, but now she put medicine in the pastry, which clearly meant that she would poison Prince Ling as well.
Eunuch Yuan suspected that the emperor had recently repeatedly promoted people recommended and close to King Ling, which made those people feel a sense of crisis and wanted to kill King Ling to avoid future troubles.
Eunuch Yuan secretly guessed that the emperor was already furious, "Let me check! I want to see who ate the bear-hearted leopard and dared to murder Prince Ling and Princess Ling!"
The pastries are made in the imperial dining room, so you must start from the imperial dining room.
Eunuch Yuan took the order and went to the imperial dining room to investigate the matter.
But before they left the imperial study room, as soon as they reached the door of the imperial study room, they saw Prince Ling striding over with a food box from a distance. From a distance, Eunuch Yuan also felt Prince Ling's anger.
Like Shen Wan, Eunuch Yuan was most afraid of the conflict between Prince Ling and the emperor and his son. He was so afraid that he didn't even bother to go to the imperial kitchen to check for poison.
Xie Jingyan carried the food box into the imperial study, walked directly towards the dragon table, and placed the food box heavily on the dragon table.
The loud voice made Eunuch Yuan's heart tremble.
This is no different than slamming the table with the emperor...
He knew that King Ling was very angry, and he really couldn't help it, but if he was so disrespectful to the emperor, if the emperor wanted to pursue it, it would be enough for King Ling to get slapped with forty blows.
The emperor's face was already ugly, but it became even worse now. Xie Jingyan suppressed his anger and said, "This is the plate of pastries given by the emperor."
Eunuch Yuan said hurriedly, "The Emperor already knows that the cakes sent to Prince Ling's Mansion were drugged, and has ordered his servants to go to the imperial dining room to investigate the matter."
Xie Jingyan said coldly, "This matter should not be investigated from the imperial kitchen."
Eunuch Yuan was stunned, "If we don't start the investigation from the imperial dining room, then where should we start?"
Xie Jingyan's eyes were cold, "Who encouraged the father to give cakes to civil and military officials? Let me check from here."
