Madam Jiang said to Qinghe, "It's okay. I'll go with you."

The grandfather and grandson came to the Rose Garden. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Prince Jing and Madam Du were also there, with very unfriendly faces.

Jiang Yaonian stared at Xuehui, who was kneeling on the ground, expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Do you really mean what you just said?"

Xuehui cried bitterly and said, "Every word I said is true. I dare not say a single lie. It's all my fault. The princess almost lost her life! I have failed the prince and the madam's trust and did not take good care of the princess..." As she spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly to Prince Jing and Madam Du.

Madam Jiang stood outside the door and watched for a while, then snorted coldly and said, "No evidence, how do you know it wasn't you who poisoned me?"

Xuehui was startled by these words, and she looked out the door, only to see Qinghe supporting Madam Jiang standing at the door...

Xue Hui hurriedly defended herself with a guilty conscience, "I dare not! The prince and his wife have been so kind to me, how could I do something so unforgivable?"

Prince Jing came over immediately upon seeing this, and said with a smile on his face, "Madam, why are you here?"

Mrs. Du also came over and bowed respectfully, saying, "Old Madam, Ying'er living here has caused you trouble..."

Qinghe helped Madam Jiang to sit down on the chair.

The old lady stared at Prince Jing and his wife solemnly and asked, "If I hadn't come, what would you have done about this matter?"

Mrs. Du coughed lightly and said nothing.

Prince Jing said with difficulty: "Old Madam, although we respect you and the Jiang family very much, and Ah Nian has known Jingying for many years! But... since the incident has already happened, we must handle it impartially! After all, Jingying came to burn incense and pray for blessings on behalf of the emperor and the concubine, so such a big incident naturally cannot be left unresolved..."

Madam Jiang sneered after hearing this and said, "So you mean to send Qinghe to Yingtian Mansion?"

Jiang Yaonian raised his eyebrows and looked at the Miao couple, and Prince Jing laughed dryly twice to show his agreement.

Madam Jiang suddenly looked at Xuehui and asked, "Do you dare to swear that every word you said is true?"

Everyone looked at Xuehui, especially Mrs. Du, fearing that she would confess the truth out of fear!

After Xuehui secretly glanced at Madam Du, she couldn't help but shudder all over and didn't dare to continue the conversation...

Mrs. Du stared at her and said softly, "Xuehui, the old lady is asking you a question."

Xue Hui gritted her teeth and said, "I swear! If there is even a single word I said that is false, then I will be punished by heaven and die a miserable death!"

Madam Jiang sneered, stared at her closely and asked, "Do you dare to guarantee the lives of your entire family?"

Xuehui was startled! She moved her lips twice but didn't say anything.

At this time, Mrs. Du coughed softly and raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, "Xuehui, just say whatever you want to say, don't be afraid!"

Xue Hui could only stammer, "If...what I said is even a little bit false, then...then let me..."

At this point, she could say no more.

At this moment, Jingying's delicate voice suddenly came from the bed: "You don't have to force her. It's all because of my weak body. It has nothing to do with others..."

Everyone immediately looked towards the bed. Prince Jing hurried over and said distressedly, "Ying'er, why are you so confused? Do you know that you almost went to the gates of hell? If something happens to you, what will your father do?"

Mrs. Du also wiped her tears with her handkerchief and said, "You are my only sweetheart. If anything happens to you, I won't want to live anymore!"

Jingying whispered: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."

"But the doctor said that you were poisoned too deeply and it will affect your future..." Mrs. Du said with great heartache.

Upon hearing this, Prince Jing glared and asked, "What will it affect?"

Mrs. Du sobbed and refused to speak...

Xue Hui continued, "It will affect the ability to have children in the future. Doctor Xue said that the princess is too weak and the poisoning is too severe. If she forces a pregnancy in the future, it will affect the health of the fetus and she may have difficulty breathing during delivery, resulting in two deaths..."

When Prince Jing heard this, he was furious and immediately stood up angrily and said, "Old Madam, you must give Ying'er an explanation today no matter what. After all, she was poisoned in the Jiang Mansion, and you cannot escape responsibility."

Jiang Yaonian looked at him expressionlessly and said, "What does Your Majesty want to be explained?"

Prince Jing was stuck for a moment, not knowing how to start. Madam Du said tactfully, "Jingying is a girl. If she can't have children in the future, who would marry her..."

Prince Jing immediately responded, "That's right, isn't this delaying her lifelong event?"

Jiang Yaonian said in a slightly cold tone: "The prince and his wife want me to marry Jingying?"

Mrs. Du said humbly, "If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, we have no objection..." After that, she glanced at Prince Jing and asked with obvious hints, "What do you think, Prince?"

Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, "Ah, yes, yes! If Jingying can marry Ah Nian, this matter will be written off! We will not pursue it from now on, but Jingying cannot be a concubine, she must be a co-wife!"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly, "My Lord, my marriage must be approved by my grandmother."

Prince Jing and Madam Du looked at Madam Jiang at the same time. At this moment, Prince Jing even regretted that he had spoken too loudly to the old lady just now. He tried hard to force a smile and said in a very humble and pleasant tone, "Madam, what do you think?"

Without waiting for Madam Jiang's answer, she patted her chest excitedly and said, "If Jingying can marry Anian, then our two families will be one family in the future. If you need us for anything, just tell us! Don't worry about the dowry, I will give Jingying the best of everything..."

Prince Jing was still blababala talking, but was interrupted by Old Madam Jiang with a sullen face: "I don't agree!"

"Ah? Why?" Prince Jing was stunned after hearing this!

Madam Jiang said word by word: "I only have Qinghe as my granddaughter-in-law! I only recognize her as my granddaughter-in-law! I won't recognize anyone else! If you are willing to let Jingying be your concubine, I can consider it after three years!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at them, stood up, took Qinghe's hand and went out.

Prince Jing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared and said loudly: "Okay! Okay! Since you have this attitude, I will go to the palace and ask my brother to investigate this matter. If there is anything wrong, don't regret it!"

Mrs. Du gently advised, "Your Majesty, calm down. Let's take a long-term view. Jingying is still sick. Let's talk about the future later. Let's go back today."

Prince Jing said angrily: "Then we have to take Jingying with us. What if we leave her here and she gets hurt again?"

Mrs. Du secretly cursed in her heart: "What an idiot! Why send her back? She must stay here so that she can rely on the Jiang family!"

Mrs. Du said softly, "Jingying is weak now, it's not good to toss her back and forth. It's better for her to rest here for a few days. When she gets better, we can take her home to take care of her. Leave a few more people here to watch over her. I believe there won't be any more accidents."

Prince Jing said with a straight face: "Well, let's go, and then I'll ask my brother to judge this matter!"

In the upper study, the emperor was reading memorials. Qin Ruihai walked in cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine sent someone to deliver tonics."

The emperor raised his head, "Has anything happened over there recently?"

"There is a little thing. I heard that Princess Jingying of Prince Jing's Mansion was poisoned yesterday. The maidservant beside the princess insisted that it was the young lady of the Jiang Mansion who did it. Prince Jing came to the palace to ask the Concubine for justice... It must be because of this matter."

The emperor nodded, "Then let her in."

"Yes."

A moment later, Nanny Yue came in with a tray and gently placed it on a corner of the imperial desk. She bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Dowager wants to see you. Are you free?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is it?"

Nanny Yue briefly explained the poisoning incident, and then said, "Prince Jing's Mansion and the Concubine Dowager both want Your Majesty to send someone to investigate, so that the young lady of the Jiang Mansion can be cleared of all charges."

The emperor said, "Okay, I understand. Go back and tell the concubine. I will send someone to the Jiang family to investigate."
