Chapter 32: The Dust Settles

"This..." Imperial Physician Cheng lowered his head, as if he was trying to think, but he couldn't speak.

I see, Zhao Ruier really drank the slippery pill.

He Xuan secretly thought in his heart, this Zhao Aftermath is vicious, and he dares to use such a method as drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle. Thinking about it, if Jiang Wanrong becomes the queen in the future, Zhao Rui'er's child is just a concubine. With the Zhao clan's arrogant and domineering temperament, how could they tolerate the Jiang clan to suppress them forever.

Empress Zhao quietly gave Zhao Rui'er a look, and the latter received this signal, squeezed out a few crystal tears, and sobbed aggrievedly: "Who is it, who poisoned it, who wants to harm my child?" ”

Such a delicate woman with pear blossoms and rain, everyone in the room who didn't know it felt that this Zhao Ruier was simply pitiful. Just conceived a child, pushed into the water, and poisoned.

It was Empress Dowager Jiang who reacted first, and said in a calm voice: "The doctors of the Mantai Hospital are all gathered here now, presumably the matter of the concubine who had a miscarriage because of the slippery pill is a certainty." It can be seen that no matter whether the crown princess pushed the side concubine or not, the slippery tire has nothing to do with Rong'er. ”

This is reasonable, and the masters in the inner room all nodded. Obviously, the overboard incident is no longer the focus of everyone's attention, and the question now is who poisoned it.

"Brother Rong, Rui'er doesn't know who she has offended, and she has to suffer continuously, this unborn child can't be saved at all. It's all bad for Rui'er.,Rui'er.。。。 Zhao Ruier continued to cry, the snow-white skin around her eyes was already red and swollen to the point of oozing blood, and she looked very sad.

The prince was distressed, and held Zhao Rui'er's hand with both hands and held it tightly in his arms. He closed his eyes and thought for a few moments, then turned back to Jiang Wanrong and said, "Crown Princess, dare to ask what you were doing an hour ago?" ”

Jiang Wanrong didn't expect that the prince would call her at this time, let alone question her. She finally couldn't help it, her eyes were red, a tear stain crossed her face, and she said, "What, didn't the prince think that I secretly gave the slippery pill to the side concubine, right?" ”

The prince looked disdainful, turned his head back, and snorted coldly.

Empress Zhao said leisurely at this moment: "The crown princess is indeed the most suspicious person now, no wonder Rong'er, this kid, would ask you like this." Crown Princess, don't blame Rong'er, this palace understands his temperament, he just talks about things. Tell us what you were doing an hour ago, Princess. ”

Jiang Wanrong pursed her lips, a few tears flowed down her cheeks, and just as she was about to speak, Empress Dowager Jiang solemnly walked to Jiang Wanrong's side with the support of the palace maid.

"An hour ago, Wanrong was in the palace of the mourning family. Wanrong is a filial child, and she asks for peace to the mourning family for a long time, she is ingenious, and the time is for me to massage for a while. Why, does Empress Zhao also have to suspect the mourning family? Empress Dowager Jiang said loudly, her expression serious and unquestionable.

Empress Zhao naturally didn't dare to say anything, she was not favored by the emperor in the first place, and Empress Dowager Jiang was the emperor's biological mother. As a result, the people in the room fell silent, and for a while, no one knew what to say.

After a while, the emperor put down the tea bowl and said to Empress Zhao lightly: "Since the queen mother said that the crown princess was with the queen mother at that time, then this matter must not have been done by the crown princess." However, it is not a trivial matter for the crown princess to lose the fetus, and I hope that Empress Zhao will find out for the widow. ”

"No. This palace will definitely investigate it in detail and then return to His Majesty. Empress Zhao bowed slightly, and tried to say in a soft voice.

"In this case, the widow still has a lot of government affairs to do, so send someone to appease the crown prince and concubine." With that, the emperor got up and walked slowly out of the room under the salute of everyone.

"Concubine Fang, you are so self-reliant, you have really worked hard for today's toss! The mourning family left first. Empress Dowager Jiang said loudly to Zhao Rui'er, there was a hint of yin and yang in this tone, which frightened the latter and didn't dare to make a sound, and held the crown prince Ji Rong tightly with her hand.

Then, Empress Dowager Jiang turned her head sideways and whispered to Jiang Wanrong, who was immersed in sadness: "Wanrong, you come to my palace in a while, take some good ginseng, and give it to the side concubine, which is the intention of the mourning family." ”

"No." Jiang Wanrong lowered her head and bowed obediently.

Empress Dowager Jiang walked to the side of the crown prince Ji Rong again, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Rong'er, in this life, you will encounter many things. There are some things that you can't predict, or even things you can't understand, and the mourners only hope that you can relax your heart, don't be serious with yourself, and don't hurt the people who love you deeply. ”

The relationship between the crown prince Ji Rong and the Empress Dowager Jiang has always been very close, and when he heard that the old grandmother had not forgotten to comfort him, his eyes were also a little moist, and then he nodded in various ways.

So, Empress Dowager Jiang also left the Moon Palace with the support of a group of palace people.

As soon as Empress Dowager Jiang left, the most noble person in this room was Empress Zhao. At this moment, Empress Zhao's plan failed to succeed, and she was very irritable in her heart, but her face was generous and calm. She just said lightly: "You all retreat, the side concubine needs to recuperate." ”

"No." A few people saluted together and said, and Xuan, Jiang Wanrong, Qi Xiuyi, and a few imperial doctors retreated together. Only Empress Zhao, the crown prince, and Zhao Ruier were left in the room.

The crown princess Jiang Wanrong looked in a trance, and she walked extremely fast, but she didn't have the graceful ladylike steps before.

Qi Xiuyi is the master of this Moon Palace, so naturally he wants to return to the main hall. Originally, she invited He Xuan to sit down for a while. After all, she always felt that in the previous matter of Concubine Lian, she and the Eighth Prince had received the help of He Xuan, plus Qi Hou had a great friendship with He Xuan. She also has a lot of confusion about today's events, thinking about asking for advice and talking.

However, He Xuan smiled and declined, and excused himself and said that he would visit another day. Qi Xiuyi was also inconvenient to stop it, so he removed the gate of the Moon Palace by Hexuan.

He Xuan said goodbye to Qi Xiuyi, and then quickened his pace and chased after the crown princess Jiang Wanrong.

"The crown princess, please stay, the second princess wants to invite you to the imperial garden for a while." Qing'er rushed ahead of He Xuan, trotted all the way to catch up with the crown princess, and saluted and pleaded.

He Xuan's actions just now can almost be regarded as Jiang Wanrong's life-saving benefactor. No matter how sad Jiang Wanrong was, she was also sober-minded, she nodded immediately, and then entered a remote pavilion in the Imperial Garden with He Xuan.

"Thank you, second princess, for speaking out today and being grateful." The crown princess looked at He Xuan with very sincere eyes and bowed slightly.

He Xuanxu helped the crown princess, then smiled and said, "No need to thank you, I naturally have my reason for helping you." It's just, what do you think of today's events? ”

Jiang Wanrong's eyes flickered, and while thinking, she said slowly: "Today, Concubine Zhao asked me to listen to Xinhu, saying that there is something important to discuss. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I hurried away. Who would have thought that Zhao, as a concubine, would actually humiliate me. I didn't want to meet her in the same way, and I wanted to leave quickly, but the Zhao family actually pounced on me despite being pregnant. Fortunately, the second princess was present at the time, not only as a witness, but also dragged me aside. If she really pounced on me, and no one else saw it, it was really unclear. ”

Jiang Wanrong's words seemed to be still palpitating. He Xuan looked at the crown princess intently, and then explained: "Indeed, I do have a fate with the crown princess. If I hadn't happened to pass by Tingxinhu today, saw the two of you talking, and wanted to go up to say hello, I don't know how things would have gotten to go. ”

Actually, Jiang Wanrong didn't mean to ask He Xuan in what she said just now, but in order to avoid the crown princess from thinking wildly, He Xuan still explained this. Jiang Wanrong heard this, nodded slightly, and then sighed softly, as if sighing at the luck in this misfortune.

"So, the matter of the crown princess's side concubine Zhao's slippery tire, dare to ask the crown princess what she thinks?" He Xuan asked directly, and his expression didn't look like a twelve-year-old child at all.

Jiang Wanrong was not surprised, she had already faintly felt that the second princess's mind was by no means an ordinary child, but most of the children of the royal family were precocious. She just thought hard, and said little by little: "I didn't know about the side concubine's slippery tire in advance. According to the imperial doctor, it seems that Zhao's miscarriage was caused by slippery pills. As for this person who wants to poison the Zhao family... ”

He Xuan looked at Jiang Wanrong with her head down, as if she couldn't find an answer after thinking and meditating, and understood that Jiang Wanrong was a simple and kind person. How can such a person understand that a favored concubine wants to deliberately slip and compete for the position of the main room? And Xuan Xindao, okay, since Jiang Wanrong can't figure it out at this time, let's put it down and don't mention it for now.

He Xuan smiled at Jiang Wanrong and said, "This matter, presumably Empress Zhao will find out clearly, and the crown princess doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Jiang Wanrong raised her head, her eyes sank, as if she was thinking about what He Xuan said.

He Xuan changed his words and continued to ask: "Today in the Moon Palace, the prince pointed out that you personally pushed the prince's side concubine, what do you think about this?" ”

"I..." Jiang Wanrong was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer such a question, and said word by word: "You saw it with your own eyes at that time, and I didn't push the side concubine." As for the crown prince, he ... I was paying attention to the Zhao family at the time, but I didn't see the prince... But when Zhao fell into the water, he did immediately rush out to save Zhao... Perhaps, he was standing at a distance at the time, mistakenly thinking that I pushed Zhao to cause her to fall into the water, right? ”

What a stupid and kind woman! He Xuan couldn't hide his sarcasm: "So, do you think all this is a misunderstanding?" ”
