Chapter 203 Death with a Rod
Chapter 203 Death with a Rod
As Yang Yanru and her servant were walking along, they heard that Princess Jing had been poisoned. Someone had already gone to look for Prince Jing and had also sent people to the palace to invite the imperial physician.
Yang Yanru's face turned pale, and Dongyue was so scared that she almost cried.
"That bitch Shen Anran, it turns out she wanted to frame the young lady. We have no grudge against her, how could she be so mean?" Dongyue's voice was filled with tears, but she did not stop and followed Yang Yanru closely.
Yang Yanru didn't say anything, but walked faster.
At this moment, she comforted herself in her heart: Princess Jing's medical skills are so good, she will be fine.
As for Dongyue's muttering, she ignored it.
She knew in her heart that as long as she didn't get involved with those two women, she would offend them both.
At this time, Dong Yue, who was walking behind, said, "Miss, what should we do now? Should we send a message to Prince Jin?"
What if Prince Jing thought that it was his daughter who poisoned Princess Jing?
"No need." Yang Yanru said.
She didn't poison anyone, so what did she have to be afraid of? She was just worried that Princess Jing was pregnant. What if something went wrong?
When they arrived at the door of Zizhuxuan, they saw Gu Lingyue and Tang Shi and others walking out of the house.
Seeing that Gu Lingyue was fine, Yang Yanru breathed a sigh of relief.
When Gu Lingyue and others saw Yang Yanru and her servant running over breathlessly, they knew that she must have come over because she heard that something had happened to Gu Lingyue.
Before Gu Lingyue could say anything, Yang Yanru said, "I heard on the way here that the princess was poisoned, but luckily she's fine."
Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "The servants were exaggerating. It's just that the soup pot was drugged, which is why you came here so quickly."
At this moment, Yang Yanru's expression had completely relaxed, "That's nothing, I was coming here to see the princess anyway.
May I ask what medicine was put in the princess's cauldron?"
"Saffron." Gu Lingyue said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yanru quickly took the oil-paper package from Dongyue's hand and opened it. However, she was a little far away from Gu Lingyue, but she lowered her hand to make sure that Gu Lingyue could see it.
"Princess, is this the thing?"
Seeing Yang Yanru stopped there and didn't move forward, Gu Lingyue took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so careful. It's just a look. It's okay."
As she spoke, she looked at the oil-paper bag in Yang Yanru's hand, and Tang and Wenxiu followed.
Gu Lingyue didn't expect that Yang Yanru actually had saffron in her hands. She nodded and asked, "Did Shen Anran hide it in your yard?"
Although she sent people to monitor Dong Jinyu and Shen Anran, she told them not to disturb Yang Yanru in her yard as long as she was safe. So although her people knew that Shen Anran went to Yang Yanru's yard, they didn't know what she did?
Without hearing what she said, Princess Jing told her directly what happened. Yang Yanru was still very moved, which showed that Princess Jing trusted her very much.
So, Yang Yanru told what happened when Shen Anran went to her yard.
"It just so happens that I was still trying to think of a reason to send her away. Now I don't have to think about it anymore. She's right here in my hands."
So, Gu Lingyue called out a secret guard in the dark and whispered a few words to him.
The secret guard turned around, took the oil-paper bag from Yang Yanru and left.
At this time, Long Shang came back hurriedly from outside with Yuan Zheng, along with Chang Jinnuo, Tang Wenle, Tang Wenqi and others.
When Yang Yanru saw Chang Jinnuo coming, her eyes never left him.
Chang Jinnuo also saw Yang Yanru standing beside him.
He gave her a gentle smile, but not only were there many people around and there was a lot of gossip, but something like this had also happened in the palace. Neither of them greeted the other, and everything was left unsaid.
Long Shang quickly walked to Gu Lingyue's side, looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that she was indeed fine.
"Is there any part of you feeling uncomfortable? Let the dean check you out?" Long Shang asked.
Tang Wenle and Tang Wenqi also looked at Gu Lingyue with concern.
On the way, I heard Yun Shu give a general account of what happened, but I felt uneasy unless I saw it with my own eyes, so I followed them here.
Gu Lingyue shook her head and said, "It's okay. I didn't drink the soup at all. Don't worry."
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but the imperial physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, thinking that with the princess's medical skills, he would know that everything was fine, but it was Prince Jing who was so anxious.
Although the weather is very cold now, he was carried by Prince Jing when he ran all the way from the palace gate to the courtyard where Prince Jing lived. It was already very good that he did not faint from exhaustion.
After Gu Lingyue finished speaking, she looked at Tang Wenle and the others, "Third brother, fourth brother, why are you and Prince Jin here together?"
"Prince Jin and I had just come out of the 'Wanhe Tower' when we saw the prince's carriage passing by, so we followed it." Tang Wenqi said roughly.
Gu Lingyue didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Yuan Zheng and said, "Could you please take a look at what was added to the soup?"
The hospital director thought to himself: "Your medical skills are better than mine, and you actually asked me to check what medicine was put in the soup? Aren't you kidding me?"
But he only dared to think about it in his heart, but he said: "I wonder, Princess, where is the soup now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wenxiu came out carrying a pot of soup.
The director hurried forward, opened the lid, and inspected it. Then, his voice trembling, he said, "Your Majesty, Princess, saffron has been added to it."
Although Long Shang had heard the answer from Yun Shu a long time ago, and knew that it was his Yue'er who deliberately lured the two women into the trap, but when he heard it again from the head of the courtyard, he still had a murderous look on his face, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
"Come here, take those two women to the main hall."
Yun Yi and Yun Hao took the order and left.
Long Shang gathered the cloak that Gu Lingyue was wearing and looked at her. "I'll take care of the rest. Go back to the house and wait for me, okay?"
Gu Lingyue knew that Long Shang was angry that she was using her as bait. She grabbed Long Shang's hand, shook it, and lowered her voice to flatter him, "I promise you, this is the first and last time."
Long Shang's cold expression softened a lot, and his tone was filled with doting and helplessness, "You!"
The two of them were talking in a low voice, and even Tang, who was closest to them, didn't hear it. However, he noticed that Long Shang's originally gloomy and terrifying expression had improved a lot.
At this time, Long Shang turned to Tang Shi and said, "Please ask my mother-in-law to take care of Yue'er. I will be back to accompany her after I finish taking care of it."
Tang nodded, "Well, go ahead. Don't worry about Yue'er here."
Long Shang turned and walked towards the main hall, and the dean also said goodbye and left. Seeing this, Chang Jinnuo felt embarrassed to stay here, so he followed Long Shang and left, only glancing at Yang Yanru when leaving.
Yang Yanru lowered her head shyly.
After they left, Yang Yanru also said goodbye to Gu Lingyue and left. Tang Wenle had no scruples and looked at Yun Shu with a painful expression.
He felt very upset. Why did his brothers' marriages go so smoothly, but his wasn't? He just wanted to marry someone he loved. He didn't rely on his wife's family for promotion or wealth. He would work hard to get what he wanted, but why couldn't his mother agree? He went to his grandmother, but she wouldn't plead for him.
Yun Shu was a little unhappy when Tang Wenle looked at her, and glared at him angrily.
What kind of person is this? He can't even handle his own mother, yet he actually wants me to elope with him? How dare he say that?
Tang Wenqi glanced at his younger brother beside him. For the first time, he did not argue with him like he did in the past. The reason why they met Chang Jinnuo was because his younger brother dragged him out for a drink, and they met at Wanhelou.
Gu Lingyue and Tang Shi also noticed that Tang Wenle looked unhappy, but they didn't know what to say, so they just pretended not to see anything and turned around to walk into the house.
At this time, after Long Shang arrived at the main hall, Dong Jinyu and his servant, and Shen Anran and his servant were all brought there.
Seeing Long Shang coming, Dong Jinyu and Shen Anran knelt down and cried out for justice.
Long Shang glanced at them coldly, "Since you say you are wronged, then I want to hear what you have wronged."
Dong Jinyu and Shen Anran didn't know what to say for a moment.
Didn't they poison the soup? But when Prince Jing came over, nothing had been said yet. They were the ones who threw him off balance.
Seeing this, Long Shang said coldly, "Come here, these two women are trying to murder the royal heirs. Drag them away and beat them to death."
When Long Shang said this, Dong Jinyu and Shen Anran were almost scared to death.
Beat them to death? Why do they have to be beaten to death?
All they thought was that Long Shang would drive them away again, but they never thought that Long Shang would actually take their lives?
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
The two struggled to hold Long Shang's legs, but were kicked aside by Yun Yi and Yun Hao.
Long Shang snorted coldly, "I gave you a chance, but you refused it."
At first, the two of them didn't understand when Long Shang had given them a chance. Wasn't he going to kill them the moment he came? In the end, they understood that it was Prince Jing who drove them away when he first came back. That was giving them a chance, but they didn't want to and kept coming back. Now Prince Jing was really angry.
"Your Majesty..."
The two wanted to say something, but Long Shang waved his hand, and guards came over immediately, covered their mouths and took them away.
Chang Jinnuo, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that the two families will impeach you?"
Long Shang said calmly, "Whatever. The witnesses and evidence are here. I don't believe they still have the guts to impeach me. If they dare, I just don't have an excuse to deal with them."
Chang Jinnuo laughed and said, "You are so cruel that you can even bear to sacrifice these two beautiful girls."
Long Shang glanced at Chang Jinnuo and said, "If you want to stay, I will order them to be released and you can take them back to the Princess's Mansion right now."
Chang Jinnuo quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I still want to live a few more years."
