Chapter 494: Princess in the Deep Palace 8
Su Tong cursed the other party in his heart, calling him a pretending sickly person, and even had to serve the prince in order to show his virtue. However, he got it back. While the other party was pretending to be unconscious, he pinched his nose and forced him to drink a large bowl of bitter medicine.
Crown Prince Situ Jin's face turned red due to choking, and even his pale face had a hint of blush, but he was really good at pretending, he was simply a "strong" man. Even at this point, he still looked weak, lying on the bed, barely breathing, and even his newlywed wife felt distressed when she saw him.
"Husband, if you are gone, what shall I do?" Su Tong held the handkerchief and burst into tears, looking like a young wife. "Husband, you must not abandon me, or I will not live."
It's just that the words he said were a little unpleasant to the ear, like "should I die?" and the crying sounded like the mourning of a dead person, which made Situ Jin so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The butler beside him was touched. "My Lady Crown Princess, the Crown Prince vomited blood because he heard that you were poisoned. The Crown Prince cares about you so much, so you must not be sad, otherwise the Crown Prince will be sad too when he wakes up."
Su Tong's eyes were filled with tears (mainly because of the spicy ginger juice), "Thank you, butler, but seeing the prince like this, my heart aches. I don't understand what I did wrong, why those people would kill me?
In fact, I don't mind if this princess dies, but I'm afraid that it will implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The person behind this is too vicious. I will definitely write a letter back to tell my father to investigate it thoroughly. After catching the murderer, he must be torn into pieces. Only in this way can I relieve my anger. "
The housekeeper nodded quickly, but the prince's mouth still twitched slightly. At this moment, he and Situ Jin formed a dramatic couple.
Fortunately, the prince was afraid of being forced to drink bitter medicine by Su Tong. In the eyes of outsiders, Su Tong was an extremely competent wife. She took care of the prince without taking off her clothes until the prince woke up. Su Tong happily shouted at him, mainly because she hadn't slept for a day and wanted to take care of the Emperor of Jingguo at the same time.
When Su Tong woke up again, it was the prince's turn to guard him with a pale face. The two of them looked at each other. Although they pretended to be moved, they had already rolled their eyes in their hearts.
"It's all my fault for making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried." Su Tong was the first to speak. "When I learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had fainted, I was at a loss and wanted to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately."
Situ Jin held Su Tong's hand with a touched look on his face. If there weren't so many people watching him, he would have wanted to break Su Tong's hand. Damn woman, she was so pretentious.
"You are too polite, Princess. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?" There were tears in Situ Jin's eyes. To outsiders, they were a loving couple.
"Your Majesty, after the prince woke up, he took care of you for a long time, and even now he hasn't eaten a single grain of rice." Chunyi said with emotion.
Su Tong's eyes were filled with tears. "Your Highness, you are so kind to me."
Situ Jin, "You are my wife, and it is my duty to take care of you. I will definitely give you an explanation for this poisoning and assassination."
Jingguo was quite quick, not to mention the Jinyiwei bargaining chips, and those people were still alive. They wanted to keep silent, but the Jinyiwei quickly dug out all their family members. As long as one of them didn't speak, the Jinyiwei would immediately take their family members to the side and then chop off their heads in front of them.
“Ahhh…don’t…”
Few people could handle such a stimulus, so some confessed on the spot. However, several of these maids belonged to different factions, including the queen and the relatives of other princes.
But they insisted that they did not poison anyone and they just wanted to see what the Crown Princess looked like. They didn't understand how they got involved in all these things.
The maid who poisoned the queen bit her tongue and committed suicide the next day after she confessed her crime to the queen. Although there are many doubts about this matter, this maid was definitely someone close to the queen.
The emperor was very angry. His wife and several sons had always been eyeing the position of the crown prince. Although he did not like the crown prince, it did not mean that he would like his other sons. In particular, several sons grew up to be ambitious and they were all his enemies.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I did send a few people to the prince's palace, but it was mainly to take care of the prince. I really did not send anyone to poison him. This was all deliberately framed." The queen cried with tears in her eyes. "I suspect that this was staged by someone. Of course, this is just a suspicion. At least the princess is fine."
The emperor sneered twice, "Fortunately nothing happened. If something had happened, I guess the queen's entire clan would have to die here."
Hearing this, the queen instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and realized that the man in front of her was not only her husband, but also the lord of all people. However, she did use the maid to trap the prince and frame him, but before she gave the order, the other party had already poisoned him.
The Emperor of Jing State naturally would not let his family's dirty laundry be made public, but he also needed to give an explanation to the Southern State, so he punished a large group of people. In the end, it was attributed to a small tribe on the border who deliberately wanted to sow discord between the two countries, so they poisoned them.
Although the emperor chopped off a large number of people's heads, he did not forget to appease Su Tong and rewarded him with a lot of things, including a hot spring resort, under the pretext of allowing the prince and the princess to recuperate.
Su Tong touched his chin and took the palace maid to find the prince, smiling, "Now the weather is getting colder, and the prince's health is not good. If he stays in the prince's mansion, I'm afraid his health will get worse. It just so happens that my father has rewarded a hot spring manor. Otherwise, the prince and I can go to the hot spring manor to recuperate together."
Situ Jin's eyes flickered slightly, then he looked up and nodded gently, "Okay, Crown Princess, just tell the butler if you need to prepare anything."
Although Su Tong also had a smile on his face, he had a blank expression when he turned around. Both of them enjoyed acting.
After the prince and others left, his expression changed. He knocked on the table, thought for a long time, greeted a few people, whispered a few words in their ears, and then asked more questions about Su Tong, the crown princess.
"I, the Crown Princess, really don't look like an unloved little princess raised in the deep palace. I am more like a thorny mandragora, which is deadly and dangerous."
It was also the first time that Situ Jin realized that this Crown Princess was really not simple. At least after she married into the Crown Prince's Mansion, the people around her were well-behaved. Even the people in their mansion couldn't find out any information. She was even tricked by the people around Su Tong.
In addition, Su Tong had several palace maids who were good at martial arts. The maids who poisoned the girls were caught by Su Tong's palace maids, and their hands and feet were cut off and their jaws were even removed.
Moreover, after suffering a loss, Su Tong did not make a big deal about it. On the contrary, he took advantage of this opportunity to gain a lot of advantages and even won the sympathy of his father.
