Chapter 395: The 4th Prince was seriously injured
Jiang Ningwan returned the prescription to him and said, "Or maybe the Queen's headache isn't serious, so she prescribed this."
"Either Doctor Li is incompetent."
"Or maybe Doctor Li didn't really put his heart into treating me."
At the moment, the first possibility seems more likely.
"Please keep an eye on this matter for me. If Imperial Doctor Li prescribes any more medicine, please keep an eye on it."
Zhang Yunsong nodded, "Okay, I'll take note."
That night.
Jiang Ningwan was waiting for Qin Shuangchi to come back for dinner.
Qin Shuangchi came back with two things and put them on the table.
"What is this?" Jiang Ningwan picked it up curiously and took a look.
An exquisite handkerchief and a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks.
It was all stained with blood.
The thing looked familiar, and suddenly I noticed that there was a word "Xi" embroidered on the handkerchief.
"No wonder it looks familiar. This is Jiang Xiru's thing. How come it's here with you?"
Qin Shuangchi leisurely poured a glass of water and asked, "Guess where you got this?"
Jiang Ningwan shook her head in confusion. "I haven't heard anything happened to Jiang Xiru today, and she hasn't left the palace either. How did this thing fall into your hands?"
Qin Shuangchi smiled meaningfully, "The only one who left the palace was Xie Yongan, the fourth prince of Dayan."
"I set an ambush for him. Although he escaped, he left these two things behind."
"Originally I wasn't sure if this was Jiang Xiru's thing, but seeing that you recognized it just now, my guess was right."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.
I still can't believe it.
She looked at the embroidered handkerchief and purse in her hands repeatedly. Although she was not proficient in needlework, she recognized that it was Jiang Xiru's craftsmanship.
"Jiang Xiru is already married!"
Jiang Ningwan looked serious.
She married the eldest prince of Daning Kingdom, not an ordinary family. Even if she really wanted to do something evil, how could she have the guts to do it?
If this is discovered, it will be a matter of losing your head.
Qin Shuangchi pondered, "Look, Xie Yongan has repeatedly harmed you and me. We have no deep relationship with Xie Chenyuan, so why would he target us?"
"But if it's entrusted by someone, then it's reasonable."
Jiang Ningwan was stunned. "You mean Jiang Xiru asked Xie Yongan to help deal with us?"
The risk is too great.
Qin Shuangchi pondered and said, "Xie Yongan should be back soon. Just keep an eye on them. If they really have a private relationship, they will definitely find a chance to meet."
"These two things wouldn't have happened to Xie Yongan for no reason."
They must have met privately in the palace.
The palace is not small, but it is not big either. As long as there is collusion, traces will be left.
After a long silence, Jiang Ningwan came up with another plan.
"I have a plan!"
……
Jiang Ningwan's men watched the palace for two days.
Two days later, Xie Yongan finally returned to the palace.
It was noon, and Jiang Xiru was sitting in the pavilion by the lake to cool off. She often came here in recent days because she could see Xie Yongan's yard from here.
If Xie Yongan came back, she would be the first to know.
As expected, she saw Xie Yongan, but there were many guards surrounding Xie Yongan, so she couldn't see clearly, but she could tell that something had happened.
Soon, two palace maids passed by the pavilion.
Talking to himself.
"What was the Fourth Prince of Dayan doing? How did he get injured so badly? It's so scary."
"Yeah, it looks like he's almost dead. I wonder if he's met his enemy."
"Forget it, let's not talk about Dayan's people, or you'll get into trouble."
The two palace maids left quickly.
Jiang Xiru heard these words clearly.
Xie Yongan was seriously injured?
What happened?
But it was broad daylight and there were so many people around that it was difficult to find him.
So he sat in the pavilion until dark.
Xie Yongan, who had been resting in the room for an afternoon, learned that Jiang Xiru was there, so he went out and walked nearby.
But he didn't dare to enter the pavilion directly.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
Then a palace maid passed by.
"Why does the eldest prince's wife always sit in this pavilion recently?"
"It seems like she had a quarrel with the eldest prince. I heard from the young eunuchs in their courtyard that the two of them have a very bad relationship. There are often quarrels and even slapping sounds."
"Ah? Could it be that the eldest prince beat her? They've only been married for a short time, how did their relationship become like this?"
"Who knows."
The two palace maids gradually walked away, but the words they left behind made Xie Yongan frown.
Qin Chengqian knew very well the relationship between him and Jiang Xiru, yet he treated Jiang Xiru like this.
I guess she has suffered a lot during this period!
Thinking of this, Xie Yongan couldn't wait to meet Jiang Xiru, but he could only wait patiently until the evening.
Finally it was night.
Suddenly, there were many more guards outside the yard.
Xie Yongan was puzzled and asked what was going on.
Not long after, Jiang Zhouye came over and said politely, "Fourth Prince, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
"Someone just saw a snake nearby. This is a serious matter. To ensure the safety of the palace, I have to send someone to look for it."
"This is also for the safety of the Fourth Prince!"
Hearing this, Xie Yongan didn't know what to say, as this was Jiang Zhouye's responsibility.
But there were so many people looking for snakes nearby that Jiang Xiru couldn't come find him.
After waiting for a long time, the night gradually deepened, and Jiang Zhouye's men were still searching nearby.
Seeing that there was no result, Xie Yongan didn't want to wait any longer and left the yard.
Not far away, Jiang Zhouye saw Xie Yongan leaving and immediately ordered his men, "Go tell General Jiang that the Fourth Prince has left."
same moment.
Qin Wenli also came to Qin Chengqian's residence.
This surprised Qin Chengqian, "Why did Third Brother come to me instead of accompanying Father?"
Qin Wenli took two pots of wine and said, "I'm here to apologize to my elder brother."
"If I hadn't insisted on competing with Big Brother last time, Big Brother wouldn't have angered Father. I was wrong!"
Qin Wenli's words seemed like an apology, but in fact they sounded more like a mockery.
It's a joke that he had no brains and just rushed in with a sword.
Qin Chengqian sneered, "How dare I ask my third brother to apologize? I'm afraid my third brother has laughed at me countless times."
Qin Wenli resisted the urge to laugh.
Their original plan was to have Qin Chengqian rush in wearing armor and looking murderous, but they didn't expect that Qin Chengqian forgot to throw away his sword.
Simply a surprise.
"How could that be? I'm here to sincerely apologize. This is a fine wine I've treasured for a long time. Can I have a couple of drinks with you, big brother?"
Qin Wenli said this, put down the wine jug, and poured himself two glasses of wine.
Then he looked around curiously.
"Hey, why don't I see the Empress Dowager? She shouldn't mind me drinking with my eldest brother."
Qin Chengqian's eyes flashed with guilt when he heard this, and he interrupted coldly, "How could she care if I drink? She went to accompany her mother."
Jiang Xiru disappeared after nightfall. She must have gone to see Xie Yongan.
Thinking of this, he felt a tightness in his chest and drank the glass in one gulp.
"Then I feel relieved." Qin Wenli sat down with confidence and started drinking with Qin Chengqian.
He apologized sincerely and flattered Qin Chengqian a lot, especially about his martial arts.
He wanted to find out.
"Brother, you've made such great progress in martial arts in such a short time. You must have received guidance from a master, right? I wonder which master he's learned from? Could you introduce him to me, Third Brother?"
Hearing this, Qin Chengqian smiled coldly. This was exactly the purpose of Qin Wenli's visit.
The fact that Qin Wenli had such doubts meant that his martial arts had indeed improved a lot, making Qin Wenli feel threatened.
"Where did this expert come from? You're overthinking it, third brother." Qin Chengqian said in a cold and arrogant tone, drinking slowly.
The palace was very quiet at night.
Xie Yongan went out and asked his men, and when he learned where Jiang Xiru was, he hurried over.
He looked around very vigilantly along the way, afraid of being seen.
But the road ahead is becoming more and more secluded.
It was so quiet that the only sounds were the wind and his footsteps.
He had no idea that someone was following him.
