Chapter 111 Poisoning

After he finished speaking, the prince remained silent for a long time.

Su Qing raised her head in confusion and met the prince's deep pupils:

"Aqing, tell me, did you choose to marry me because you simply liked me or because I am the prince of the East Palace and the future emperor!"

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat, but she glared at him angrily: "What do you mean by that? How many times do you have to tell me, you are the only person I care about. And it's not just for you that I put so much effort into it!

"

Hearing this, the string in the prince's heart suddenly broke. He threw Su Qing's hand away, took a step back and looked at her coldly:

"Ha! For me? For me, you don't hesitate to use yourself as a guide to lure the young men from various families who are interested in you to join the East Palace."

"Su Qing, do I need less food for you or less clothes for you? You don't have to work so hard to please those men. If you think my status can be stable in this way, then it's okay for the prince not to do it!"

Su Qing's face turned pale and she stared at him in disbelief: "How could you say such a thing to me?"

When she thought of something, she reacted suddenly, gritted her teeth and said: "It's Shen Mingjiao, right? She told you! Don't believe her, it's just a misunderstanding, I..."

The prince looked at her disappointedly, took out a stack of paper from his arms, threw it at her feet, and left without looking back.

Su Qing picked up the paper and flipped through it, her face getting paler and paler, until she saw the seal at the end, she sat down on the chair weakly.

She had seen a similar seal by chance, which was a secret letter to the emperor.

If this was only discovered by the prince, she would be sure to coax him. But how could it be His Majesty?

She shuddered deeply when she thought of the emperors in history who were suspicious of their sons.

She thought that what she did was secret, and Jing Hedi would not find out so quickly. By the time he found out, most of the officials in the court had already turned to the prince.

She summoned her confidants to investigate what happened in the morning. When she found out the whole story, she couldn't believe it.

Just because of Shen Mingjiao, all her previous arrangements suddenly came to nothing, and she even attracted Jing and Di Yan!

She walked around uneasily and asked someone to call her father, Su Xiang. After this incident, the Su family was afraid that their skin would peel off.

Thinking of this, she vaguely regretted why she wanted to provoke Shen Mingjiao.

At first, she only thought that Shen Mingjiao was a slightly smart woman from an ancient boudoir who only knew some tricks of the back house, so her knowledge was ultimately limited.

Now it seems that she underestimated the enemy. At the same time, she is more determined to get rid of the opponent.

When Shen Mingjiao found out that the Su family had been found to have occupied fertile farmland, and that the clan's children were roaming the countryside, bullying men and women, and other evil deeds, Jing and the emperor were so angry that they scolded Prime Minister Su in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and asked him to go home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

.

Several days have passed since the incident. Ever since she told Tie Zhu to reveal the matter to Chu Yushi, she has not asked about it again.

There are many smart people in this world, but Su Qing is still too impatient and too self-righteous.

She picked up a paintbrush again. Seeing that the princess was still showing a lack of interest after talking for a long time, Erya couldn't help scratching her head: "Princess, why are you not happy at all after hearing the news?"

Shen Mingjiao didn't even raise her head: "It's expected. What's there to be happy about?"

As a princess who was inspired to be a salted fish, she couldn't understand Su Qing's behavior. The prince would be the emperor from now on, and Su Qing could just sit back and be the queen in peace, so why did she work so hard?

But this has nothing to do with her. She has always wanted revenge, and as long as Su Qing stops provoking her, she won't bother to care.

She drew a few strokes absentmindedly, and finally put the pen down impatiently, crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it into the wastebasket, and lay down on the table listlessly.

Qiu Ju and Erya on the side looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little worried. His Highness has not replied to the princess for seven or eight days. Although the princess didn't say anything, everyone could tell that the princess was in a bad mood these days.

Usually the princess likes to listen to them gossip about the outside world.

Qiu Ju looked at the sky and suggested:

"The sun is going down soon. While the weather is nice, why not go for a walk in the garden!"

Shen Mingjiao also felt that staying like this was quite boring, so she put down the drawing paper and stood up to walk out.

As soon as he left the courtyard gate, he met Tie Zhu who was coming in a hurry. Erya rolled her eyes at him immediately, "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Tie Zhu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Mingjiao: "Princess, this is a letter from Your Highness."

Seeing this familiar envelope, Shen Mingjiao's heart, which she had been carrying for the past few days, was inexplicably relieved. She reached out to take the letter and opened it several times, still in Feng Lisheng's usual style, with only a few words on the letter.

——You can return to Beijing in three days, don’t think about it.

Shen Mingjiao snorted heavily: "Write a few more words and you will die!"

But he couldn't help but smile on his face, as if the unhappiness of the past few days had disappeared.

She folded the letter and put it away, turned around and shouted:

"Didn't you say we were going to visit the garden? Why don't you leave quickly? Erya, go ask the kitchen to squeeze some more juice and send it over. Qiu Ju, go get the book of words that I haven't had time to read."

Seeing this, the two maids breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and accepted the order to retreat.

But Feng Lisheng, who was thousands of miles away, was not in such a happy mood.

He sat in front of the desk with a sullen face. Not long after, the Korean military doctor came out from the inner room.

Feng Lisheng asked: "How's it going?"

The Korean military doctor whispered back: "Commander Fang is poisoned. The poison should come from southern Xinjiang."

Feng Wu asked anxiously: "Is it possible to cure this poison?"

The Korean military doctor shook his head apologetically: "Wei Chen is not good at poison, and this poison is very rare. Fortunately, Commander Fang is very skilled in martial arts, otherwise he would have died immediately if he were an ordinary person. Even so, he would still feel cardiopulmonary angina on weekdays.

, if it is not detoxified, you will die of heart failure over time."

Feng Wu looked worried: "This poison is so powerful, who do you think can cure it?"

"Perhaps the imperial physician in the palace can give it a try, and the other one is the one from the Red Lotus Sect."

Feng Lisheng moved his fingers and thought of Cui Lingling. He said: "Bring the person back to Beijing first."

Feng Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed that His Highness could find someone to detoxify him.

Feng Lisheng asked: "How did the interrogation by the people at Longhu Mountain go?"

"Yang Dayang Er is interrogating him, he should be here soon."

After the group arrived at the Liangzhou garrison, Feng Lisheng went through the usual procedures. He made an excuse that the scenery in Shu was beautiful and planned to take the soldiers up the mountain for practice.

Unfortunately, despite being so cautious, when they arrived at Longhu Mountain, the man was still killed in advance, and the two people responsible for keeping track also died.

A group of people went to the crime scene, and when they entered the room, a row of hidden weapons flew out from the side of the bed.

Feng Lisheng nimbly ducked aside, and Fang Dacheng, who came in behind, was accidentally scratched on the arm by a hidden weapon.
