Chapter 33 Don't Believe Him

When the queen heard that it was sent by the prince, her face suddenly sank.

She watched her son's face pale in pain, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief in her hand, and found that her son had fallen into a coma, and her hands were shaking with fright.

"Yu'er, don't scare the queen mother."

In desperation, she also forgot her identity as a queen, and yelled at the servants: "Where is the imperial doctor? You dog slaves, this is how you take care of my son? What's the use of raising you?"

Xiao Guizi almost fainted when she saw that the master had fainted, "Go back to Empress Empress, I've already gone to ask for an imperial doctor, and I'm on my way."

"The doctor is here."

As soon as the words fell, several imperial doctors strode in with medicine boxes.

The queen saw the imperial doctor as if she saw a savior, "The imperial doctor, come and see Yu'er."

"Obey, empress."

The imperial doctors gathered around the bed, tightly surrounding the bed.

The queen couldn't see her son, and she was walking around in a hurry in the room. She stopped and looked inside.

"Doctor, how is Yu'er?"

The imperial physicians looked, heard, asked, and came to a conclusion.

The leading imperial doctor bowed his head and reported the result: "Empress, the Seventh Prince has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?" The empress's legs gave way, and she fell directly on the chair, thinking that the roast mutton was sent by the prince, she was furious: "Eunuch Ren, go invite the prince over."

"Here." Eunuch Ren took the order and hurriedly withdrew.

Seeing her unconscious son on the bed, the queen yelled at the imperial doctor: "What are you doing in a daze? Quickly detoxify Yu'er. What's the matter with Yu'er? I want you all to go and be buried with him."

The imperial doctors were so frightened that their legs became weak, "Quick, quickly dispense the medicine."

Several imperial doctors gathered around to study the medicine.

Xiyun Pavilion

Eunuch Liu's eager and high-pitched voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something happened."

Xiao Jinyan had always been a light sleeper, so when he heard Eunuch Liu's voice, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and when he opened the door, he saw not only Eunuch Liu but also Eunuch Ren who was beside the queen.

He thought it was because he was staying overnight in Xiyun Pavilion and the queen was dissatisfied that he let Eunuch Ren come over, so he frowned.

"It's so late, why does Eunuch Ren have time to come to such a remote Nuan Pavilion?"

Eunuch Ren lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "Your Highness, the empress invites the prince to visit the Qiancheng Hall."

Xiao Jinyan had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard Qian Chengdian. He looked at Eunuch Ren, and asked in a deep voice: "Eunuch Ren knows it's so late, what's the matter with Queen Mother asking me to go to Qiancheng Palace?"

"You'll know when your Highness goes down." Eunuch Ren didn't reveal it on the surface, but he said in his heart that if he murdered his brother, he might not be able to secure the crown prince's position.

Murder a brother?
Xiao Jinyan quickly guessed that something happened to Xiao Jinyu, and he was inseparable from him.

"Go to Qiancheng Palace immediately after I change clothes."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door, turned around and went in to change clothes.

With such a big commotion, even Shen Chuwei woke up. She rubbed her eyes and saw Xiao Jinyan walking in. She squinted her eyes and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Xiao Jinyan picked up the clothes on the hanger and replied while putting on the clothes: "Something happened to Jin Yu."

Shen Chuwei hadn't fully woken up yet, so she thought for a while before she remembered that Jin Yu was Xiao Jinyan's younger brother, and Xiao Jinyan asked Eunuch Liu to deliver roast mutton to Xiao Jinyu tonight.

"Your Highness, is it serious?"

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were serious, "Yes."

When Eunuch Ren said that he murdered his own brother, it meant that Jin Yu was in danger at the moment.

Shen Chuwei is also fully awake now, seeing Xiao Jinyan's serious eyes, this is the first time she has seen him showing such an expression.

After thinking about it, I decided to go and see it together.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stood beside Xiao Jinyan, picked up the clothes and put them on.

Seeing Shen Chuwei's actions, Xiao Jinyan said calmly, "You don't have to follow."

Shen Chuwei replied while putting on her clothes: "Your Highness, this concubine can't sleep."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes froze when he heard the words, because the matter was urgent, he let her go.

After getting dressed, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan to Qiancheng Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the Qiancheng Hall, he heard the angry roar of the empress.

"You are all a group of quack doctors, you are all a group of quack doctors, come here, drag them all out to me and behead them."

When Shen Chuwei heard the last two words, she shrunk her neck subconsciously, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, the ancients never deceived me.

Xiao Jinyan walked in with eager steps, and saw people kneeling on the ground in the room, including the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground.

He passed the crowd and looked at the bed, and saw Xiao Jinyu lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale and lifeless.

No matter how calm he was, he also showed a trace of panic at this time.

"Queen, what happened to my brother?"

Xiao Jinyan strode over to see what happened to his brother.

As soon as she walked over, she was pushed away by the empress, "Stay away from Yu'er, you are not allowed to touch him, you are not worthy to be his elder brother."

Xiao Jinyan stepped back a few steps, looking at the almost crazy mother, tears fell down like broken beads, looking at him with anger and hatred.

"Mother, it wasn't the sons and ministers who did it."

"You didn't do it? Didn't you send the roasted lamb? If it wasn't for the roasted lamb, how could Yu'er be poisoned?"

"The roast mutton was given to my younger brother by Erchen to try it out, but Erchen has never poisoned it."

"Are you still quibbling?"

The empress was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. She saw the glazed cup on the bedside table, picked it up and threw it at Xiao Jinyan.

It happened in an instant, Xiao Jinyan didn't dodge it, and then abruptly, blood flowed from his forehead.

It was the first time for Shen Chuwei to encounter such a scene, after a while, she quickly stepped forward with a handkerchief to stop Xiao Jinyan's bleeding.

Only at this time did she know that Xiao Jinyu was poisoned because of eating roast lamb.

Has someone poisoned the mutton?
She looked at the empress and explained: "Empress, the roast lamb is roasted by the concubine himself, and has nothing to do with Your Highness."

When the queen saw Shen Fengyi, the anger in her eyes became even more intense, "You don't have a place to speak here, so get the hell out of here."

The queen is so fierce...

"Empress, the roast mutton is indeed roasted by the concubine himself. If the empress doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial dining room."

Xiao Jinyan looked down at Shen Chuwei trying to defend himself, this was the first time someone took the initiative to take things on himself in order to prove his innocence.

He looked at the queen and said word by word: "Mother, the roast mutton was eaten by my son and Shen Fengyi together before I decided to give it to my younger brother to taste. I can guarantee my life that my son has not been poisoned."

The queen didn't believe the prince's words at all, "Yu'er was poisoned tonight only after eating the roast mutton you gave me, how do you explain it?"

Xiao Jin said: "Queen, I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Whoever dares to murder the prince, I will definitely not let him go easily."

The queen stared at the prince, obviously not believing his words.

Shen Chuwei was a little thankful that she followed tonight, otherwise Xiao Jinyan would not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Empress, my concubine can explain why the Seventh Prince behaved like this."

 About why the queen thought it was the prince who poisoned her?
  1. The queen is afraid of excessive, this is a human instinctive reaction
  2. The queen is eccentric + suspicious
  3. As for why the queen behaves like this, there will be explanations in the following chapters, and there are causes and effects.
