He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

The eldest prince is recuperating in Prince Ling's Mansion. As long as he doesn't attract assassins, it will have little impact on Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan. They have Dr. Tao, Zhao Yuanzheng and Dr. Xu to treat illnesses and save people. Xie Jingyan can't even care about that, let alone Shen Wan.

When the two of them returned to Mo Yuxuan, they didn't take this matter too seriously.

However, the eldest prince was seriously injured in an assassination, and the news that his life was hanging by a thread spread throughout the ears of civil and military officials, especially the eldest prince and the people of the Jin royal party. It was really worrying for each family.

The eldest prince's party is afraid that the eldest prince will die, that the position of crown prince that is about to be obtained will fly away, and those who follow the eldest prince will die of depression.

The people of King Jin's party have mixed feelings. They hope that the eldest prince will die like this, but they are also afraid that the eldest prince is really dead. If it is King Jin who does it and the evidence is found, the capital will be filled with blood. They all Those who support King Jin are afraid that they will not end well.

Moreover, the Queen Mother asked the eldest prince to treat his injuries at Prince Ling's Mansion, which was even more intriguing.

Is the Queen Mother revealing to the civil and military officials that once the eldest prince is really gone, the Queen Mother will support Prince Ling.

Originally, Prince Ling's power in the court was greater than that of Prince Jin. If the Queen Mother did not care about Concubine Chen's betrayal of the emperor, and supported Prince Ling wholeheartedly, her position as crown prince would really be less important than Prince Jin's.

Duke Mao Guo came to visit the eldest prince. After being sent away, many people came in the afternoon to visit the eldest prince. Prince Cheng and Xie Jingyin all came, and even the eldest princess of Huyang came to Prince Ling's Mansion in a soft sedan. , but no one was allowed in.

As evening approached, the Queen Mother sent her most trusted Aunt Zhao. However, Aunt Zhao was not allowed to enter Prince Ling's Mansion. However, Aunt Zhao received the most special treatment. Although Xie Jingyan did not let her enter Prince Ling's Mansion, she allowed Zhao Yuanzheng to go. I met Aunt Zhao at the gate and told Aunt Zhao about the current situation of the eldest prince, which also saved Zhao Yuanzheng from having to go back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother.

Hearing that the eldest prince had not woken up, Aunt Zhao left worriedly.

That night, nothing happened.

But the next afternoon, when Zhao Yuan was entering the palace to give a reply to the Queen Mother, an assassin broke into Prince Ling's mansion in the evening.

When Chen Feng reported Xie Jingyan, he had just finished taking a shower and was about to go back to his house to sleep. Chen Feng said, "Sir, two people just sneaked into the palace and were discovered as soon as they entered the palace."

After sending two assassins, where did he think Prince Ling's Mansion was? Xie Jingyan asked, "Can anyone be captured alive?"

Chen Feng shook his head, "As soon as we caught the person, the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide."

Chen Feng even doubted what the two assassins were doing when they came to Prince Ling's Mansion. It was more like they were here to die.

Xie Jingyan said, "Send extra manpower to protect the pharmacy. No matter what happens in other parts of the palace, no one is allowed to leave even half a step."

Chen Feng took the order and retreated.

The next day, before Zhao Yuanzheng entered the palace to resume his duties, Xie Jingyan went to see the eldest prince. The eldest prince's face was still pale, but his lips were not as dark as when he saw him by the river. The poison in his body should have been almost eliminated.

Xie Jingyan asked, "How is the eldest prince's condition?"

Zhao Yuan looked worried, "It's not optimistic."

The eldest prince has been in a coma, showing no signs of waking up, and cannot be fed. He relies on soup and medicine to survive. At most, he drinks some rice soup.

Dr. Tao previously said that the hope of curing the eldest prince was less than 50%, but now there is not even 30% chance.

Xie Jingyan said, "I met the Queen Mother later and said that the eldest prince's condition has improved and he may wake up in less than two days."

Zhao Yuan was looking at Xie Jingyan, "Isn't this deceiving the Queen Mother?"

They had no confidence that the eldest prince would wake up within two days.

To give the Queen Mother hope, if her condition takes a turn for the worse and the Queen Mother starts to question her, they cannot afford her wrath.

Xie Jingyan knew Zhao Yuanzheng's worries, so he said, "Just do as I say, and if anything happens, I will take full responsibility for it."

Xie Jingyan had said so, what else could Zhao Yuanzheng do, he could only listen to him. Besides, it actually saved a lot of trouble for him to report back to the Queen Mother like this. The Queen Mother was relieved, and he didn't have to be anxious when reporting.

As Zhao Yuanzheng expected, the Queen Mother burst into tears when she heard that the eldest prince's condition had improved. Zhao Yuanzheng stood there feeling guilty. If the eldest prince really got better, even if it was two days late, in case he really couldn't be saved. Live, God knows how sad and angry the Queen Mother will be.

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, Zhao Yuanzheng kept praying in his heart, hoping that the eldest prince would get better soon, but he couldn't understand that reporting to the Queen Mother like this would not only be of no benefit to Prince Ling, but would even create hidden dangers. He was afraid that the Queen Mother would be overly worried. It hurt her body, but the Queen Mother didn't have much love for King Ling, and King Ling didn't seem to have much filial piety towards the Queen Mother——

Why did King Ling do this?

Although Zhao Yuanzheng couldn't guess, he was sure that he was not doing this out of filial piety.

But soon, Zhao Yuanzheng knew Xie Jingyan's purpose of doing this.

That night.

A few stars dotted the night sky.

Xie Jingyan was reading the military book.

Page after page.

Shen Wan was also reading. Normally she would read in the inner room. Today Xie Jingyan asked her to accompany her in the study. Shen Wan wanted to read wherever she could, so she read in the study.

It's just that her body is heavy, and her waist becomes sore after sitting for a long time. She stood up and walked around. Xie Jingyan looked up at her and asked, "Are your waist sore again?"

Shen Wan said, "Are you sure I won't disturb your reading?"

Xie Jingyan said, "You can stay in the study so that I can rest assured."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan didn't know that an assassin broke into Prince Ling's mansion last night, and Xie Jingyan didn't tell her.

She looked at Xie Jingyan in confusion, and was about to ask why when Yin Shuang's urgent footsteps were heard. Yin Shuang ran in and said, "Prince, Princess, it's not good! The observation building is on fire!"

Shen Wan was startled when she heard this. She quickly turned to look at Xie Jingyan. Seeing that there was no anger or surprise on Xie Jingyan's face, Shen Wan reacted and said, "Did you know that the observation tower will catch on fire?"

Xie Jingyan put down the military book in his hand, walked over and said, "I guessed that the assassins might set fire to it, but I didn't know that they would burn down the observation tower."

His tone was also calm. If he hadn't said it was an assassin who set the fire, Shen Wan would have suspected that he had someone set the fire.

Shen Wan went out from the study and saw thick smoke billowing from the direction of the observation building in the yard.

"Water leaked! Put out the fire quickly!"

The shouts of the maids and women came one after another.

Shen Wan walked towards the entrance of the courtyard, and Xie Jingyan held her arm, "Where are you going?"

Shen Wan said, "It's not clear from the courtyard. I'll go to the courtyard gate to see."

Xie Jingyan looked helpless.

I don’t see what’s so interesting about this.

But he always responded to Shen Wan's requests.

As soon as he stretched out his arms, he hugged Shen Wan's waist and flew up to the roof.

Standing on the roof, Shen Wan could clearly see the observation building being engulfed by the fire bit by bit. She was so angry.

With such a big fire, the observation tower will definitely not be saved.

Not feeling the anger of the people around him, Shen Wan said, "The observation building was burned down, aren't you angry?"

The sky-high firelight danced in Xie Jingyan's eyes, and he said, "This may be a good thing."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan was stunned.

Is it a good thing that the observation tower was burned down?

Is this person angry?

Shen Wan said, "Are you sure it's a good thing?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Two assassins sneaked into the palace last night and tried to kill the eldest prince. They were discovered as soon as they entered the palace and committed suicide. I asked Zhao Yuanzheng to tell the Queen Mother that the eldest prince would wake up soon, and the assassins came again at night. Let's go This fire is to attract the attention of everyone in the palace so that we can make a move."

He asked Shen Wan to stay in the study because he was not sure whether the assassin would come to Mo Yuxuan. He did not dare to gamble with Shen Wan. He had to be within sight to feel at ease.

Shen Wan understood and said, "To send someone to kill the eldest prince so impatiently to silence him, it seems that the eldest prince knows who the assassin is."

Xie Jingyan said, "If you just know, there is no need to be like this. The eldest prince most likely has fatal evidence in his hands."

Shen Wan's eyes widened, and they were particularly bright.

But it didn't light up for a while, and then dimmed again.

The guards around the eldest prince were all dead, there was no one left alive, and there was no evidence on the eldest prince's body.

Even if it is known that Xie Jingyin sent people to kill him, without conclusive evidence, Xie Jingyin cannot be punished, let alone the death penalty.

But there was always hope. Shen Wan sincerely hoped that the eldest prince would wake up soon.

Xie Jingyan was just skeptical at first, but now he is sure.

The eldest prince was seriously injured, the queen mother and the emperor were already furious, and this fire only added fuel to the fire.

If the eldest prince really had evidence that could prove that Xie Jingyin was plotting against him, Xie Jingyin would definitely die.

I hope the eldest prince will not disappoint him.
