Chapter 266 Doubt
Chapter 266 Doubt
While Song Yan was thinking, Yun Zheng's face suddenly changed. He clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
There was actually someone in Prince Huai's mansion who poisoned Wan'er right under his nose.
Such a sinister method!
Then, his eyes flashed, and almost subconsciously he shifted his gaze to Song Yan's face, and then he spoke without hesitation.
"Come here, bring over the things the Crown Princess used today and have them re-inspected!"
"Also... go and search the concubine's room thoroughly! If you find anything suspicious, bring it up immediately!"
If there are anyone in Prince Huai's mansion who wants Wan'er's life, there are only two people.
Father and Song Yan.
But if my father really wanted to take action, he wouldn't have bothered to use musk or intoxicating powder to give him the opportunity to lure people in to investigate, so...
Only she...
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Song Yan calmed herself down, with a hint of just the right amount of surprise in her eyes.
"Sir, are you doubting me?"
"Have you forgotten, Prince, that ever since my eldest sister became pregnant, he has instructed me not to disturb her and let her rest and take care of the baby?"
"So in the past two months, I have never approached her, let alone spoken a word to her."
As Song Yan spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"Although... she is my elder sister after all, how could I do anything to harm her life."
"Even if the prince has misunderstood me, he shouldn't think so badly of me..."
When Song Yan said this, it was obvious that he was genuinely moved, so at first glance, he seemed to be sincere.
After all, the poison was administered by her own hands.
But when there was no evidence at all, the prince had no scruples and ordered people to investigate her in front of so many servants in Prince Huai's mansion and outsiders, obviously not giving her any face.
She just felt embarrassed and sad.
But looking at Song Yan's pitiful appearance, Yun Zheng just continued to look at her coldly.
He naturally knew what she meant, even though she omitted the last part.
She meant to say that although she helped him break up Wan'er and Jun Jiuchen and helped him win Wan'er's heart, she had never thought of harming her life.
But even if she had been very well-behaved in the past two months, she had such a past record, and she knew that he was sincere in his love for Wan'er...how could he dare to believe her.
In his heart, he wouldn't be surprised by anything she did!
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Whether you did it or not, you won't know until you check!"
"You stay here and don't go anywhere!"
Then he turned around and looked at Song Wan and Doctor Li.
"Miss Jiang, now that we've found the cause, can she still be saved that night?"
At this moment, this is what he is most worried about.
Upon hearing this, Song Wan's eyes swept across Song Yan's face without any expression.
She originally thought that since Song Yan and Yun Zheng had gone to such great lengths to get married, and since they had such a vested interest in each other, their relationship must be good.
But when she looked at the situation of these two people today, it seemed not as she expected.
Song Wan was confused, but had no time to delve into it. She just glanced at Yun Zheng, ignored his question, and continued to speak to Nishang and Xing'er.
"Miss Song can't be moved easily right now. The wind is so strong now. Go get some screens to surround her. I'll give her acupuncture first."
Upon hearing this, Xing'er and Nishang glanced at Yun Zheng. Seeing that the prince didn't say anything, they hurriedly took the order and left at a fast pace. After all, the prince had already said that if anything happened to the prince's wife, they would be the first to suffer.
Therefore, they hope more than anyone else that the Crown Princess can be rescued.
After seeing the two of them leave, Song Wan lowered her head, took the medicine box from Zhuyue behind her, and took out the necessary things one by one without even looking at Yun Zheng.
Instead, it was Doctor Li who spoke with a bit of embarrassment.
"Since the Crown Prince's Consort is under the care of Miss Jiang, I will help the Crown Prince re-inspect her eating utensils to see where the poison came from."
Of course he also knew about this Miss Jiang.
She is the future regent princess, and she can do this to the prince without respect, but he cannot.
and……
He felt somewhat ashamed that his medical skills were not as good as a girl of his age.
Yun Zheng was feeling uneasy because of Song Wan's behavior. He didn't know whether the acupuncture she mentioned could cure the disease or was just a trial.
But he also understood that she was intentionally leaving him out in the cold, and at this juncture, he didn't even dare to ask more questions for fear of angering her.
And now, finding out the person who poisoned Wan'er is the only thing he can do for her.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng calmed down a little.
"Okay, thank you, Imperial Physician. I was impulsive and rude just now. I hope you don't take it to heart."
"I just wonder how the imperial physician will test for poison if this silver needle can't detect it. If you need anything, please let me know."
Doctor Li just waved his hand when he heard this.
"It is natural for the Crown Prince to worry about the Crown Princess. I understand."
"As for testing for poison, the medicinal properties of Datura and Aconitum are special. Just grind the dry herbs into powder and sprinkle it on food scraps, and a layer of black spots will appear on the surface."
"Your Highness, just have someone prepare this."
Doctor Li said this and looked at Song Wan, who was tidying up with her head down, with some caution.
"Miss Jiang, is the method I suggested feasible?"
Song Wan naturally heard what Doctor Li said, and just looked up and nodded at him.
"nature."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng immediately asked someone to make arrangements.
Xing'er and Nishang had already asked someone to bring a screen to surround the beauty bed, leaving only Song Wan and Zhuyue inside.
But after the screen closed, a sharp look suddenly flashed across Song Wan's eyes. He immediately called Zhuyue to his side and whispered something to her.
Although Doctor Li's method of testing for poison is indeed feasible, she is now 80% to 90% sure that the drug must have been given by Song Yan.
Because she had only seen this Drunken Immortal Powder in the notes of old man Lu Ming.
He once lived in the Prime Minister's Residence for half a year. After drinking, he liked to talk to people about some strange stories. It is very likely that Song Yan heard about this at that time.
But when she just said the three words "Zuixiansan" and Doctor Li said he wanted to test the poison again, there was no panic on her face.
If it weren't for her strong mental state, then it would be this poison...
It’s not about food and clothing…
And she had just looked at Jiang Wanqiao's condition. The poison had been accumulating in her body bit by bit for a long time, and it only broke out completely today.
Therefore, the source of the poison must be in this pavilion.
Zhuyue is best at observing people's words and expressions.
Let her keep an eye on Song Yan, who knows what she might discover...
With this in mind, Song Wan calmed down and began to give Jiang Wanqiao acupuncture...
Silence returned to the pavilion as Song Wan performed acupuncture and Doctor Li bent over to examine the patient.
But everyone in the pavilion had different thoughts.
Most of the time, Yun Zheng's gaze was fixed on the blurry figure behind the screen with some concern. Occasionally, when he looked away, his gaze would fall on Song Yan with some hostility.
If this was really done by her.
Then this woman...
You can't stay.
Song Yan naturally noticed Yun Zheng's gaze, but she just looked at Doctor Li's actions calmly.
She was confident that even if Imperial Doctor Li examined her ten or a hundred times, he wouldn't be able to find anything...
