Qinghe was shocked after hearing this!

Only then did she realize that Xue Hui had deliberately provoked her in the morning in order to anger her, and then take the opportunity to accuse her of poisoning the petals! Although she did not fall for it at the time, it did not stop her from carrying out her original plan...

Qing He's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Xue Hui, if you were confused and made a mistake, it's understandable, but if you were instructed by someone to deliberately accuse me, then you'd better think it over carefully! If it turns out that what you said was all lies, I will not let it go!"

Xue Hui's eyes flashed with panic after hearing this! But she immediately continued to be stubborn and said: "I serve the princess wholeheartedly, and everything I said is the truth. I dare not hide anything! Please don't threaten me, Madam. I am not afraid!"

Qing He looked at her and said word by word: "Okay! I hope you can remember what you said, and don't deny it and regret it when the time comes!"

Nanny Yue looked at Madam Jiang and said, "Madam, I know everything. I will go back and report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor! Goodbye!"

After saying this and bowing, he left with the eunuchs and palace maids.

Old Madam Jiang glanced at Xuehui and said indifferently, "You should take good care of your princess first. If there are any unusual situations during this period, remember to report back in time." After that, she took Qinghe and everyone else away. The originally lively and crowded room suddenly became empty.

Xuehui hurriedly got up from the ground, asked the other maids to go out and close the door, and then she and Bingsui came to the bedside and called softly: "Princess, wake up, Princess, wake up?"

I called out twice but there was no response. Jingying still had her eyes closed tightly, her face pale as she lay motionless on the bed...

Bing Sui, who was standing by, was so frightened that she whispered, "What should we do? Could it be that you gave me the wrong dose of toad venom?"

Xue Hui glared at her impatiently and said, "Absolutely impossible! I did it according to the princess's instructions. I soaked the toad venom in the small bottle with clean water and sprinkled it on the petals. Doctor Xue said that there would only be some mild poisoning symptoms and it would definitely not be life-threatening..."

Bingsui said in panic: "Why hasn't the princess woken up yet?"

Xue Hui said angrily, "How should I know? Go out and tell Madam Wang to report this to the Madam and the Prince!"

Bingsui went out in a hurry.

Xuehui looked at Jingying, who was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and dying, and she couldn't help feeling extremely anxious!

But she didn't dare to tell anyone, so she had to ask someone to secretly invite Doctor Xue.

Less than a meal's time later, Doctor Xue arrived with the boy.

Xue Hui hurriedly closed the door and said anxiously, "Doctor Xue, how come the princess is still unconscious after taking the dosage you prescribed? Is her life in danger?"

Doctor Xue became anxious upon hearing this. He hurriedly took two steps at a time to the bed and took a look. He was immediately shocked!

Seeing Jingying lying motionless on the bed with a very pale face, he was so frightened that he hurriedly opened her eyelids to take a look, then put his finger on her pulse for a moment, then looked at Xuehui with a worried face and said: "If you give the princess the dosage I prescribed, there will be no problem! At most, there will be some mild nausea, vomiting, dizziness and drowsiness. But now judging from the princess's pulse and condition, the toxins in her body far exceed the dosage I prescribed! That's why her pulse is weak and her hands and feet are cold..."

"Ah!" Xue Hui was so frightened that she sat down on the edge of the bed, her face full of horror and muttering, "But I clearly gave the princess the dosage according to your instructions... What should I do now!"

……

In the West Garden of the Palace, Du Lianjun was drinking with Prince Jing.

Suddenly, a maid came in and said, "My Lord, Madam, the Queen's mother is waiting outside now. She said there is something urgent that needs to be reported!"

When Du Lianjun heard that it was Jingying's personal nurse who came back, she hurriedly said, "Hurry and let her in."

"Yes."

The maid turned and went out. Not long after, Wang's mother came in from outside with a look of anxiety on her face. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "My wife, something bad has happened to the princess!"

When Prince Jing heard this, his face changed drastically. He quickly put the wine glass in his hand on the table and asked, "What happened to Ying'er? Please explain it clearly!"

Mother Wang said tremblingly, "Yesterday, the princess felt a little uncomfortable after praying, so she asked the doctor to prescribe some heart-clearing and heat-removing medicine for her to drink. But this morning, she suddenly turned pale and fainted. I dared not neglect it, so I went to the palace to report to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine sent the imperial physician to see her. After the diagnosis, it was found that the princess was poisoned by toad venom. Someone put the poison in the rose petals used as the medicine..."

When Du Lianjun heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief... She was still thinking that something big had really happened. This plan had been discussed in advance, and she was the one who sent someone to find Doctor Xue. Now that everything was going according to the original plan, she couldn't help but feel relieved!

She quickly pretended to be panicked and said, "Ah, how could this happen? Who is trying to murder the princess? Have you found any clues?"

Prince Jing also stared and asked anxiously: "What is going on? Please explain it in detail!"

Mother Wang choked up and said, "Your Highness, Xuehui said that when she came back from picking flower petals this morning, she only met Madam Jiang on the road. Madam Jiang rummaged through the flower petals in her basket, and the two of them had a quarrel! Apart from that, she didn't meet anyone else. But who knew that the princess was poisoned after taking the medicine..."

Bang! Prince Jing slammed the table and shouted, "There is such a thing! What do the Jiang family say?"

Mother Wang hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and whispered, "Mrs. Jiang firmly denied that she had poisoned anyone, and threatened Xuehui not to talk nonsense. Young Master Jiang was not at home, and after hearing what happened, Mrs. Jiang did not say anything. Nanny Yue has already returned to the palace to report to the imperial concubine."

Du Lianjun quickly turned to look at Prince Jing, and said with a pitiful look: "Prince, what should we do... Ying'er suffered such a cruel attack for no reason, you have to do something for her... After all, she moved to the Jiang family to pray for the Concubine Dowager, otherwise she would not have ended up like this... I don't know how she offended the young lady to suffer such an assassination..." As she spoke, she wiped her tears with a silk scarf.

Prince Jing said angrily: "That little witch must be jealous of our Ying'er's gentleness and beauty, and worried that Ah Nian would fall in love with her again, so she was so angry that she plotted against her in secret! Ah Jun, wait, I will go to the palace and ask the Concubine to seek justice for Jingying!"

Du Lianjun cried and tried to stop them, "Your Highness, please don't be impulsive! If things get out of hand, Mr. Jiang will protect that young lady, and we can't afford to offend them!"

It would have been better if she hadn't said this, but her words added fuel to the fire, immediately reminding Prince Jing of the previous time when he was rejected by Jiang Yaonian when he tried to get married!

He was so angry that he stood up and said angrily, "So what! At worst, I will report it to the emperor! I will say that the Jiang family is deceiving the emperor, disregarding the law of the country, and condoning the wicked woman to murder the princess, intending to harm the concubine!"

Mrs. Du knelt down and begged, "Please think twice, Your Majesty..."

Seeing this, the other maids and servants in the room also knelt down and said in unison: "Please calm down, Your Majesty!"

Prince Jing said with a red face and thick neck: "What are you afraid of! Are we afraid of them when we are right? I will go to the palace right now to report to the Concubine Dowager and the Emperor!" Then he ordered someone to change clothes. After getting dressed, he walked out with his head held high without looking back...

Seeing this, Du Lianjun immediately stood up from the ground, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up!"

After hearing the order, the maids and servants all got up from the ground, only Mother Wang remained kneeling on the ground straight and motionless...

Mrs. Du couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Mother Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Nanny Wang lowered her head in silence for a while before she raised her head and said softly, "Madam, the princess is really poisoned this time!"

Mrs. Du smiled and said softly, "I know that! But Doctor Xue said that it's nothing serious, just some mild symptoms. Take some detoxifying medicine and it will be fine in two days."

"That's not the case!" Nanny Wang said anxiously, "I don't know what went wrong. The princess is really lying in bed unconscious now!"
