The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

When I returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion, the old doctor had not returned yet.

"Where on earth did the old man go? It's been almost twenty days, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Chu Jian sorted out all the knowledge she had learned before, and asked the court doctor if she didn't understand something. However, there were still many things that even the court doctor didn't understand. She also wanted to ask Mr. Fang Lin to see if the Fourth Princess could be saved.

In the evening, I told Jing Muyang about the Fourth Princess.

"Mu Yang."

"Ah."

"Do you think you might have been infected with the poison called Tianshui?"

"I don't know. Mr. Fanglin didn't tell me what it was called at the time. But I have some impression of what Fourth Sister-in-law said. I did get drunk that day. And that wine was a reward from the Emperor. There was only a small pot. I asked Qingshan to fill up the bottles for my brothers and sisters-in-law. It was just enough for each person, and everyone drank it."

Jing Muyang really didn't know. He always thought that he was poisoned by the injury and never thought of going to the celebration banquet.

"Didn't you feel anything special?"

“Yes, the first sip felt spicier than the usual wine, pinching my throat, so spicy that I pushed the wine out and spilled half of the glass. They all drank it at that time and said that the wine was strong enough. They also joked that I couldn’t drink strong liquor after only a few years in Nanbang, so I finished the remaining part.

After I came back, I felt really uncomfortable, the kind of discomfort I had never felt before, my whole body felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t think too much about it, thinking that I just drank too much, after all, I had never drunk so much before.”

"According to what you said, everyone drank, so why are they fine?" Chu Jian pondered carefully, "Could it be the problem with the wine glass?"

"A wine glass? That's possible. When it was served, there was a golden cup with a dragon carved on it. It was very beautiful. I drank from that wine glass."

"And the wine glass?"

"It was a reward from my father, so of course I brought it back, but later I gave it to the crown prince."

"Give it to the prince? Why give it to the prince?"

"Because the dragon-carved golden cup is originally an imperial vessel and cannot be used indiscriminately. At that time, I was awarded the title of War King by my father, and I could not refuse. But I naturally had to keep a low profile afterwards, so I gave the golden cup to the prince to show my submission. He was very happy at the time and even put the cup on the wine rack in the dining hall as an ornament."

"So, the wine cup is in the East Palace?"

"Correct."

"Then find a chance to take a look some other day!"

Two days later, when the sun was shining brightly, Chu Jian was basking in the sun in the yard when he heard Li Ruyi coming to the house, and sounded very anxious.

"Princess Zhan! Princess Zhan!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chu Jian took off the medical book covering his face.

"Princess, my second sister is dying. Is there a miracle doctor in your house? Can you ask him to go over and take a look?"

Li Ruyi not only looked flustered, but his eyes were also red.

"The old man didn't come back, and he didn't say where he was going when he left. I asked Qinglin to look for him in the capital for many days, but there is no news at all."

Chu Jian put down the book. Although she knew what was going on, she still felt uncomfortable hearing the news so soon.

"What should we do?" Li Ruyi burst into tears.

"Did the fourth brother go to see Dean He?"

"No, my brother-in-law is in the Ministry of Justice, he doesn't know about this. I sent people to inform him and also sent people to the palace, but it's not that easy to ask the head of the court to leave the palace."

"Don't cry. I'll go with you to take a look. Qingye, take my token and go to the palace to find Mu Yang. He is going to visit my mother after the court session today. He is either in the Imperial Study or in Yonghe Palace."

After the initial meeting and instructions, he went out with Li Ruyi to the Fourth Prince's Palace.

From the courtyard, one could hear the Fourth Princess vomiting with great effort in the room. Maids were rushing in and out, basins of black blood were brought out. Li Ruyi couldn't help but vomit in the courtyard.

When Chu Jian entered the room, he saw that the Fourth Princess' face was pale, with black blood still on the corner of her mouth. She glanced at Chu Jian, forced a very forced smile, then vomited again. After that, she lay exhausted on the bed, motionless.

"Princess, Princess!" The maids were so frightened that they cried anxiously, and the court doctor was also frightened.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with the princess?" The Fourth Prince came back and immediately went to the bedside, holding her in his arms, "Ruyu, how do you feel? How could you secretly take the medicine without telling me! Ruyu..."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid if we delay any longer, we will really have no chance." The Fourth Princess' voice was almost inaudible.

"Dean He is here!" A servant outside shouted, followed by the sound of horse hooves. At first glance, Jing Muyang was seen riding into the yard with Dean He.

After getting off his horse, Dean He immediately stepped forward to check on her with a very serious expression.

"How many times did you vomit? How much blood did you vomit?"

"He vomited three times, almost four basins of black blood!" the court doctor replied.

Dean He sighed and pinched his temples silently. The medicine was correct, but the poisoning had lasted too long and had affected every part of his body. His body was too weak to support it, and there was nothing he could do to save him.

A few days ago, he came to prescribe two prescriptions, one for nourishment and one for detoxification. He told the Fourth Prince that if he detoxified directly, he would definitely not be able to bear it. However, if he wanted to nourish the body until he could bear it, he would also run the risk of the poison getting deeper and the poison breaking out at any time. Both were very difficult.

The Fourth Prince chose to take care of the baby first, but he didn't expect that this situation would occur after only three days.

Everyone is afraid of death, maybe she was just too anxious.

When he first saw it, his brain went numb and he stood there stupidly. This was exactly the same as when Jing Muyang was detoxifying in Yangshu Village! If he was poisoned at that time, or if his health was not so good, he would not have survived at that time!

She couldn't help but tremble. Who poisoned her? The wine was meant for Mu Yang! The emperor gave it to her. Could it be the emperor?

This shouldn't be the case. The emperor was so sad that he fell ill, and he was still thinking about letting Mu Yang return to the prince, so he wouldn't! Who borrowed the emperor's hand? It's too scary. Even the emperor was in his calculations!

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. The Fourth Princess on the bed was visibly getting weaker, and she was breathing out more than she was breathing in.

Jing Muyang held Chu Jian in his arms and prevented her from looking.

She didn't know how the Fourth Princess died, she only heard the Fourth Prince shouting in grief, and then she heard the maids all kneeling down and crying.

When she first saw him, she couldn't help crying in Jing Muyang's arms.

She was afraid, afraid that Jing Muyang was so close to death;

She was afraid that the person who poisoned her would definitely strike again in the dark;

She was sad, sad that the Fourth Princess, a woman who loved this world so much, was gone just like that;

She also felt guilty, guilty that the Fourth Princess had unintentionally become Jing Muyang's victim.

The death of the Fourth Princess was announced to be a relapse of an old illness, but the Emperor suppressed it. Dean He told the Emperor that the Fourth Princess was poisoned. Jing Muyang also told the Emperor what the Fourth Princess had guessed, and checked the golden cup in the East Palace, and indeed found the residual Tianshui poison.

In this matter, Jing Muyang is the victim, the Fourth Princess was harmed, and the Crown Prince almost suffered as well. If the Crown Prince had a whim one day and took the wine glass to drink wine, wouldn't he be the same as Xiaojiu?

The emperor is very angry!

His most beloved prince, his most trusted Xiaojiu, and himself were all poisoned, and accidentally, the fourth princess was also killed!

As for who the poisoner is, it has been so long that it is really difficult to find out.
