The result of the investigation was quick, and as expected by Shen Jingshu, it was the ingredients that went wrong that day. It's just a pity that the family who provided the ingredients that day had long since left their hometown, and they didn't know where they went. Shen Jingshu guessed that they should have been silenced. And the boy who was in charge of buying ingredients that day also quit his job, and there was no news. These, Shen Jingshu did not investigate carefully before, otherwise she would have found clues.
But who would have thought? The other party actually knows how to start with the ingredients, and in just over a month, he knows so much about Shen Jingshu's appetite.
"It seems that this Zhao Qing did something wrong. I mistrusted him before!" Prince Duan immediately went to investigate when he found out the truth, but it was a pity that none of the people involved could be found. Some died, some left, but there was no news of them. According to Shen Jingshu and Prince Duan's conjecture, these people must have been silenced, and it was found out afterwards that it was indeed the case.
"Jin, this is also my negligence, so don't blame yourself."
"It seems that this yard needs to be tidied up, otherwise those people will always be kept, and we will have no peace!" In fact, Duan Wang Shizi had long thought that it would be better to get rid of Zhao Momo and others, but he was silent. After all, Shu has just entered the door, and her foundation is not stable, so it is not easy to make too much movement. Now I can only find a way to replace those unimportant people first, and the rest is to wait for the opportunity. But when something like this happened, Prince Duan felt that they couldn't bear it anymore, otherwise who knew what the other party would do next
"It seems that I haven't acted these days. These people are getting more and more arrogant. It's time to start rectifying!" She hasn't made a move yet, and the other party can't hold back anymore. It seems that she can't show mercy either!
"Shu'er, just throw it out, what does he do?" The man thought simply, but Shen Jingshu didn't want to.
"Throwing it out like this is really too cheap for them. Jin, just leave this matter to me, don't worry!"
"But Shu'er, your body..."
"Don't worry, I know my body well. Now that I have Mingyue's detoxification pill, nothing will happen for the time being." Although this detoxification pill can't completely detoxify, it can still suppress the toxicity. Shen Jingshu will be fine for a short time.
"Then you are not allowed to work hard, you must have a good rest!" If you are not in good health, how can you have the mood to take care of all this? Prince Duan looked at Shen Jingshu like this, and regretted his negligence to death, how could he be willing to make Shen Jingshu tired
"Okay, I know what's in my heart, don't worry!" Shen Jingshu also knows about this matter. Now that she has been poisoned, the person in the dark must definitely come up with a new trick. Get rid of the people in this yard one by one!
Do you really think she is a Bodhisattva made of clay, with a very good temper? Let her wait and see who has the last laugh!
…
In the next few days, Shen Jingshu always stayed in the house, and it was said that she was not in good health. Princess Duan heard it, and hurried over to express her condolences, "Concubine Shizi, I heard that you are not feeling well these days, but do you want to invite the imperial doctor to come and take a look?" Concubine Duan still did a good job of caring on the surface, Shen Jingshu looked at it She said, her heart was cold, but her face was pale and weak, "Thank you, princess, for your concern, I am much better." Today, Shen Jingshu deliberately made her face pale and weak, looking like It's like not getting enough sleep. Princess Duan saw something in her eyes, and finally comforted her, "The princess doesn't look very well, she needs to have a good rest."
"Yes, I always feel very tired these days, and my appetite is not very good. Princess, do you think I am seriously ill?"
"The concubine Shizi may have just married and is not used to it. Moreover, the concubine Shizi is a little tired because she is newly married. It will be fine in a few days..." The words were a bit ambiguous, and Shen Jingshu naturally knew what Princess Duan was talking about, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous on her face. A faint blush, "Princess is joking."
"Hehe, Shi Zifei just relax. I see that Shi Zifei is in good spirits, but I think she is just tired."
"Really?" With a sneer, Shen Jingshu looked very tired, and yawned several times in a short while. Princess Duan saw it and didn't want to stay for a long time. Excuse me, I will see you another day!"
"The princess came to see me specially. I can't accompany you for a while. I hope the princess will not be offended."
"Why? You should rest when you're tired. I'm leaving first. Don't think too much about it. Take a good rest and you'll be fine in a few days."
"Okay, He Xiang, send the princess off!"
"yes!"
As soon as Princess Duan left, Shen Jingshu's weak expression immediately changed. Chun Xiao who was at the side saw it, and was a little worried, "Concubine Shizi, do you think this matter is the princess..."
"Isn't it? I'll know when the time comes. Well, I'm going to rest, so don't let people bother you anymore!" She was "ill", and there must be a lot of people coming to visit. Also avoid worry.
"Yes, Shizifei!" Sure enough, not long after, Yuwen Qian'er came, Yuwen Qing'er also came, and even Concubine Zhang also came, and they all brought important gifts. They wanted to see Shen Jingshu. As for the physical condition, it was just that Chunxiao dismissed her with the excuse of falling asleep. Everyone was very unwilling, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only leave.
…
In this way, Shen Jingshu seemed to go out less and less, and always stayed in the house. People in Duanwang's Mansion gradually spread that Shen Jingshu was not in good health and was about to go or something. Some people naturally began to be moved.
"Shunxin, you said that the concubine Shizi is seriously ill now, and she is sleeping more and more, so naturally she can't serve the son. The son is not the same as before, and he has tasted the taste of a woman. Will he not be able to bear it?" If it is true If so, that's her chance! The imperial concubine is sick and has no way to serve the son, so can she serve the son
Thinking of this possibility, Ruyi's heart immediately flew up. Thinking of that icy man, and thinking of Prince Duan's doting on Shen Jingshu, Ruyi wished she could lie in his arms right away.
"These days, I see that the concubine is not very energetic, and the prince is not in a good mood. Ruyi, this is really an opportunity!" Shun Xin is much smarter than Ruyi. I also have some understanding of my personality. Knowing that this man is unusually indifferent and not easy to get close to, she won't make a move for the time being. What she is waiting for is for Ruyi to make a move first, and then wait for the opportunity to move!
"Shun Xin, do you think so too?" With Shun Xin's affirmation, Ru Yi's confidence immediately increased a lot.
"Your Majesty is at the age of fledgling, so naturally you can't bear it. Ruyi, your good days are coming!"
"But Shun Xin, you and I were both given to the prince by the princess, don't you have these thoughts?" Looking at Shun Xin, Ru Yi still had some doubts in her heart.
Could it be that Shun Xin is really indifferent to Shizi? So help her everywhere and let her go
"Ruyi, I can't compare to you in appearance, nor in temperament, and even more in this mouth. How can I have this blessing? People like Shizi naturally look down on me. I only hope that you If you can be favored, don't forget me in the future, just give me some care." Shun Xin said that she was affectionate, and she seemed to be thinking about Ruyi, Ruyi looked at Shun Xin who said so sincerely, and looked at Shun Xin's appearance. It is a bit ordinary, and the defense against Shun Xin has naturally been lowered a lot, "Shun Xin, we are good sisters, when we were sent by the princess to serve the prince together, didn't we just say that we will support each other in the future? Don't worry , if I really get favored, I will definitely help you when the time comes, and I won't let you be wronged!"
"Ruyi, is what you said true?"
"Of course it is true. You are my good sister. As long as you help me, I will let you have what I have at that time!" Ruyi promised very well, but in her opinion, Shunxin is the same. Her enemy, but now she needs an ally, so naturally she won't fall out with Shun Xin.
"Sister Ruyi, what are you talking about? I will help you of course, and I will rely on you to promote me a lot in the future!" Seeing Ruyi's mindless appearance, Shun Xin was very contemptuous in his heart, but on the surface It's not obvious at all, Ruyi sees it, and she is naturally happy, "Don't worry, in the future, if I have something, you will definitely have it, I won't treat you badly!" But if I am favored by the prince, then you have nothing to do, At most, you just serve me tea and water! Anyway, your beauty will not attract the attention of the prince, hehe...
The two maids had different thoughts, but Shen Jingshu didn't move at all here, she still played the role of sick and weak every day, staying in her room most of the time without going out the door, which made everyone firm in Shen Jing Shu's thoughts of being terminally ill, and Ruyi's thoughts, naturally became more and more active.
Dressed up every day, trying her best to get close to Prince Duan, either by chance on the road, or falling in front of Prince Duan, waiting for Prince Duan's pity. Or taking the opportunity to give Prince Duan some things, which can be said to be very considerate, but Prince Duan has always been very indifferent, and Ruyi will inevitably be very frustrated.
Until one day, Ruyi failed to get close to Prince Duan again, and when she came back frustrated, she heard some news that made her very curious, "What you said is true, will this thing really make the prince favor me?"
"Of course it's true. This is a very rare acacia powder. No matter who uses it, it's guaranteed to make you want a lot. Don't worry!"
"But the royal residence is not allowed to use this. When the crown prince finds out, will she punish me?"
"Don't worry, when the time comes, you will be the son of the world, so what are you worried about?"
"You're right, this is silver, thank you!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, Sister Shun Xin, when the time comes, you will be favored by the prince, just don't forget me!"
…
The conversation between the two was heard by Ruyi verbatim, and Ruyi watched as Shunxin took a porcelain vase and gave a little girl a lot of benefits with a smile. She knew that little girl. She was the daughter of Steward Fang. Steward Fang was in charge of an outhouse, so it was very convenient to get in and out. If you want to communicate with the outside world, it is very important to have a good relationship with Steward Fang.
This Shunxin, with such an obedient expression in front of her, is a deep-minded person without thinking about it. Fortunately, she thought that the other party had no careful thoughts! It seems that she was really cheated!
Watching Shun Xin leave, Ruyi's eyes were full of reluctance, she stared at Shun Xin's back, her eyes were full of evil spirits!
Hmph, if you want to seduce the crown prince, then you have to see if you are capable!
I won't let you get what you want!
Looking away and leaving, Ruyi calmed down her mood, and when she went back, she had already changed her usual expression. As soon as she entered the room, she didn't say hello. When she opened the door, she saw that Shun Xin seemed to be hiding something in a hurry. Seeing that it was Ruyi, Shun Xin's eyes were a little flustered, "Sister Ruyi, you're back? Why didn't you make a sound? Scared me!"
"It's said that you don't do bad things on weekdays, and you don't fear ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Ruyi, what are you doing in such a panic?"
"It's nothing, I was just sorting things out, and I was scared by you accidentally."
"Really?" There was sarcasm in her eyes, but Ruyi saw that Shun Xin was hiding something just now, she secretly remembered the location of Shun Xin's hiding things in her heart, Ruyi sneered, "Mother has something to do with you, go and see Look!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Shun Xin seemed a little restless at the moment, and she didn't dare to look at Ruyi, and in Ruyi's eyes, she was even more guilty. After taking Shunxin away, Ruyi hurriedly went to check the porcelain vase. When she came into contact with the contents, Ruyi sneered, then poured out all the contents and put them into another porcelain vase. The contents inside were poured in, "Shun Xin, you were the one who sorry me first, so don't blame me for being ruthless!" With a cold smile, Ru Yi quickly exchanged the contents of the porcelain bottle and put it back to its original place , and then went to bed. When Shun Xin came back, she was a little puzzled why Ruyi said that because Mammy didn't look for her, but seeing that Ruyi was sleeping, she didn't ask.
Just looking at the place where I hid the porcelain vase just now, Shunxin walked over quietly, seeing that the porcelain vase was still there, secretly glanced at Ruyi, and then carefully hid the porcelain vase, as if afraid of being discovered by others. Ruyi, who was pretending to be asleep, saw her appearance like this, and couldn't help but smiled mockingly, her eyes were cold and gloating, Ruyi was looking forward to Shunxin's appearance of taking medicine when the time came, it must be very exciting!
And Shun Xin over there seemed to be ignorant of all this, put away her things, and went out. When she came back again, seeing that Ruyi finally got up, Shun Xin couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Sister Ruyi, what happened just now?" Is Yao Nanny really looking for me?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" With an innocent face, Ruyi didn't seem to realize that she had lied to Shun Xin just now. You didn't say to look for me, I still want to ask if you remember wrongly."
"Hehe, will it?" After thinking for a while, Ruyi felt apologetic, "Maybe? It's just that the nanny asked me to find you just now, saying that there was something urgent, but what the nanny said just now was very serious, maybe I misheard, no I may not be looking for you. Sorry, I may really have misheard." He smiled apologetically, seeing Ruyi like this, naturally it is not easy to pursue, "It's okay, sister Ruyi, I'll just ask. "
"Well, I have nothing to do, I will go to work!"
"good!"
The two servant girls had different thoughts, and Ruyi left with a smile on her face, but what she didn't know was that Shun Xin behind her smiled very strangely after she turned around. In the end, I quietly went to find the place where Ruyi usually put her things, and easily swapped out her own porcelain vase and Ruyi's porcelain vase, and of course I didn't forget to keep some. Then he smiled, his expression was really weird.
…
Although Duan Wang's mansion has been peaceful these days, Shen Jingshu knows that there are already many disturbances in this dark place. And she is like a fisherman casting a net, casting a huge net and waiting for the fish to take the bait.
I just don't know, how many people will be hooked by then
Although the poison on her body has not been unraveled, Shen Jingshu's mentality is very good. On the contrary, Prince Duan frowned every day, which made Shen Jingshu very worried, "Okay, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so don't be like this, I It is not good?"
"Shu'er, what's wrong with you? Remember to tell me!"
"Yes, don't worry!" Smiling, Shen Jingshu is naturally reluctant to die now, now that she has so many people she cares about and lives so happily, how can she be willing to die
It's not that there is no worry in my heart, but seeing Prince Duan so worried, how can Shen Jingshu have the heart to make him worry even more? So, now she is just forcing a smile.
"You mustn't hide it from me and make me worry, you know?"
"Understood, well, don't be like this, today is the holiday, don't be unhappy!" I haven't seen Prince Duan smile in the past few days, Shen Jingshu knew it was because of her, but she really felt distressed.
"Mid-Autumn Festival is for reunion. It's meaningless to live in this mansion. As long as I have you, that's enough. I don't want to worry about the rest." Duan Wang's son really put aside many things these days, and just cared about After spending time with Shen Jingshu, Shen Jingshu was very moved by this, but she also felt even more distressed for Prince Duan.
"Okay, let's smile. Your appearance makes me very depressed!" Pulling Prince Duan's cheeks, Shen Jingshu still liked Prince Duan's smile very much.
"Shu'er, don't be unhappy!"
"Today is the holiday, you can relax a little bit, let's have a reunion festival together, okay?"
"Okay!" Finally, a smile was pulled out. Although the smile was a bit far-fetched, Shen Jingshu knew that Prince Duan had tried his best.
…
Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion. Although Prince Duan and Shen Jingshu don't want to be reunited with the people of Prince Duan's mansion, etiquette cannot be ignored. Although try to avoid contact as much as possible, you still have to eat this reunion dinner, otherwise it is not good to spread it.
So the two went reluctantly in the end, originally only planning to go through the motions, but Duan Wang didn't seem to want to let them go today, "I have to invite three times and four times for a reunion dinner. Can you let people from this big family wait for you?" Regarding the late arrival of Prince Duan and Shen Jingshu, King Duan has a lot of opinions.
This son is not paying attention to him more and more now, and so is the daughter-in-law. She didn't greet him well when she came in. How can she look like a daughter-in-law? They get sick every now and then, they didn't come back from Duanwangfu to marry a sick child! Tell it to make people laugh!
"Father, Shu'er is not in good health recently. We didn't want to disturb Father's interest, so we are late. I hope Father will forgive me!" Facing Prince Duan's cold face, Prince Duan's son had gone from heartache to disappointment at first. , so that it is now ignored.
Perhaps when he was young, he once longed for this father's love, but after so many years, this person is so heartless, he has long since stopped looking forward to it.
Now that they are standing on opposite sides, one day they will fight each other, and the other party has never regarded him as his son, so why should he respect him
"It's only been a long time since I've been married, and I've only been sick every three days. Could it be that I'm at odds with our Prince Duan's mansion? Or is it because our Prince Duan's mansion didn't take good care of her?" Shen Jingshu fell ill at every turn, she didn't look like a new wife at all, Prince Duan I have been dissatisfied with this for a long time, and it is natural to explode now.
"Father, Shu'er is not in good health, and I hope the father will forgive me! If you disturb the interest of the father, we will not bother!" Seeing that King Duan's complexion was not good, Prince Duan directly pulled Shen Jingshu to prepare Let's go, Shen Jingshu also showed a sick and weak look very cooperatively, with a pale face and a weak body, all of which are telling that she is very sick. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable to look like this on this festive day. readily. But just letting the two of them leave like this is not enough. Seeing that Prince Duan's son left as soon as he said it, King Duan became anxious, "Niezi, this king just said a few words, and you are going to be disobedient? Are you pampering me like this?" Is your daughter-in-law disobedient to your father? What kind of words does that sound like?" Duan Wang is so angry, Duan Wang's son has completely ignored him recently, but he still has nothing to do, why not angry
"Father, I didn't disobey you, it's just that Shu'er's health is really bad, and she hasn't gone out for a long time. If it wasn't for the holiday today, Shu'er and I wouldn't come here. We just spoiled the interest of King Father. It's our fault. , let's go back, so that everyone will not be unhappy!" Look at what Prince Duan said, if Prince Duan really let them go, wouldn't it be that he despises them? After all, it's not easy to come back when he's not in good health. He still makes things difficult everywhere. Doesn't it mean that he, the father-in-law, makes things difficult for his daughter-in-law
This scoundrel is really talking too much now, always making him half dead with anger!
"Is this what you should say for a man and a child?" King Duan sat there angrily, and at the moment he couldn't bear to let Prince Duan and Shen Jingshu stay. Princess Duan naturally saw what King Duan was doing. Thoughts, at this time, she is usually considerate, "My son, my concubine, don't blame me, the prince is impatient, and he is inevitably in a bad mood after waiting for a long time. Today is a rare family reunion, so we all sit together and have a good time." Having a meal and saying these words hurts the peace!"
