Chapter 1298 The Princess is Poisoned

Until the eldest princess disappeared outside the palace gate, the gentle, weak and grateful smile on Concubine Chun's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by cold indifference.

She lazily leaned back on the couch, rubbed her cheeks which were a little stiff from maintaining a fake smile, and sneered.

"idiot!"

Concubine Chun whispered two words, her tone full of contempt.

Acting with this yellow-haired girl for an entire afternoon was more tiring than planning major events with the prince.

Yingxiang came forward and packed up the teacups and snacks.

Concubine Chun closed her eyes and waved her hand, saying, "Everyone, please leave. Don't bother me unless necessary."

She needs to rest and recharge.

After all, in the cannibalistic palace, the real drama is always behind the scenes.

Yingxiang said respectfully, "Yes."

the other side.

The eldest princess, accompanied by her nannies, walked back to Changchun Palace, her heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.

She really did a very meaningful thing today, helping the weak and helpless Queen Chun and also forging a sincere friendship with Queen Chun.

The setting sun stretched the eldest princess's shadow very long. She walked briskly, thinking in her heart what new and interesting gadgets she should bring tomorrow to entertain Queen Spring.

When the eldest princess returned to Changchun Palace, there was a relaxed and happy smile on her little face.

She excitedly took Concubine Zhuang's hand, talking about how pitiful and interesting Concubine Chun was, and said that she would visit her tomorrow.

Concubine Zhuang twirled her Buddhist beads, her usual gentle smile plastered on her face. Listening to the eldest princess' childish words, a deep calmness lingered in her eyes, with only an occasional nod or two in response.

However, just as the eldest princess was speaking and about to reach for the warm milk on the table, something strange happened—

Her voice suddenly stopped, her small body trembled violently, and her face turned pale in an instant!

The next second, a mouthful of bright red blood gushed out of the eldest princess's mouth without warning, splashing on her delicate skirt and the smooth ground.

The scarlet spots are shocking!

"Mother...mother concubine..."

The eldest princess' eyes widened in fear. She seemed to want to say something, but she could only squeeze out a broken voice: "It's... so uncomfortable..."

Before she could finish her words, her small body fell backwards limply, her eyes closed tightly, and she completely lost consciousness.

"Yun'er?!"

The gentle and calm smile on Concubine Zhuang's face disappeared in an instant, turning into horror and panic!

She suddenly rushed over and hugged the eldest princess's limp body into her arms: "Yun'er! Yun'er, what's wrong with you?! Don't scare your mother!"

Concubine Zhuang's fingers trembled as she wiped the eldest princess's lips. Blood foam kept overflowing, but the warm liquid seemed endless.

"Imperial Physician! Send for the Imperial Physician quickly!!!"

She raised her head suddenly and roared, "Go get the doctor! Quick!"

"Yes!"

There was chaos in Changchun Palace!

The palace maids and eunuchs were terrified.

Xiao Caizi and Ruoji forced themselves to remain calm. One of them hurried forward to help Concubine Zhuang hold the eldest princess, while the other rushed out quickly to arrange manpower.

Ruoji tried his best to remain calm as he directed the chaotic palace servants, "Quick! Lift the eldest princess onto the couch! Be gentle!"

"You, quickly go to the Imperial Hospital and invite the doctor on duty!"

She quickly called two nimble eunuchs and ordered, "You two, go and report this to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine immediately. Tell them that the eldest princess suddenly vomited blood and fell unconscious, and her condition is critical!"

"Yes!!!"

The two young eunuchs took the order and rushed out quickly.

Changchun Palace was instantly shrouded in panic.

Concubine Zhuang held the eldest princess's cold little hand tightly, looking at her pale face and the bloodstains on her clothes, her eyes full of worry.

……

Yongshou Palace.

Shen Zhinian was listening to Xiao Mingzi's low voice: "...Your Majesty, the eldest princess went to Shuixi Pavilion this afternoon and stayed there for a long time before coming out."

"It is said that there was a lot of talking and laughing inside, and the eldest princess was in a very good mood when she left."

Handan said, "The eldest princess seems to be quite fond of Concubine Chun since she entered the palace. She often visits her to talk and play with her. It's not surprising that she went to Shuixi Pavilion to visit the patient today."

Shen Zhinian sat upright in front of the mirror, letting Handan take off her hairpins and rings. Upon hearing this, she only said "hmm" lightly, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

At this moment, a young palace maid hurried in, knelt down with a thud, her breathing unsteady, and said urgently, "Your Highness, there's an urgent report from Changchun Palace saying that the eldest princess suddenly vomited blood and fell unconscious. Her condition is critical!"

"what?!"

Handan cried out in surprise and nearly dropped the jade comb in her hand.

Shen Zhinian suddenly raised her eyes, and her instantly cold gaze was reflected in the mirror.

Without any hesitation, she stood up immediately: "Change clothes, prepare the sedan chair, and go to Changchun Palace!"

"Slave, you obey!"

Handan and Fuqiu reacted very quickly. They quickly took out the cloak for going out and tied it on Shen Zhinian with swift movements.

The warm sedan was quickly prepared and rushed all the way to Changchun Palace.

On the way, Handan couldn't suppress her inner wonder and asked in a low voice, "My Lady, what...what on earth is going on?"

"Why would the princess suddenly vomit blood and pass out?"

"She went to Shuixi Pavilion today..."

At this point, Handan speculated, "Could it be... Concubine Chun? How dare she poison the eldest princess in public?!"

"But she just had a miscarriage. She should be very careful. If she does something like this, isn't she courting death? No matter how much Your Majesty sympathizes with her, he will never forgive anyone who plots to murder the heir to the throne."

"She shouldn't be so stupid."

Shen Zhinian sat upright, his face hidden by the swaying curtains, making it hard to see clearly. Only his hands, folded in his lap, his fingertips slightly tightened, betrayed a hint of his inner unease.

After hearing Handan's words, she did not answer immediately.

Concubine Chun poisoned?

Indeed, on the surface, she is the most suspicious.

Something happened when the eldest princess returned from Shuixi Pavilion, and everyone would be the first to suspect Concubine Chun.

But as Handan said, this move was too stupid, and it was almost too eager to hand the handle into the hands of others.

Behind Concubine Chun is Prince Jin. Prince Jin painstakingly sent her into the palace and would never let her get rid of an insignificant princess in such a stupid way.

In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Zhinian's mind.

Is this Concubine Zhuang's self-torture trick?

Or is someone trying to kill two birds with one stone, getting rid of the eldest princess and putting the blame on Concubine Chun?

Or... someone took advantage of the opportunity to muddy the waters?

Many fragments of clues collided rapidly in Shen Zhinian's mind and then combined together.

She already had a vague guess in her mind...

But this speculation lacks empirical evidence and cannot be easily expressed.

The warm sedan shook slightly and stopped.

Xiao Mingzi's shrill voice came from outside: "The Imperial Concubine is here!!"
