After watching the eldest prince take the medicine, Xie Jingyan came out of the pharmacy.

Chen Feng came over and said, "Sir, the emperor has sent imperial troops to protect the palace."

Xie Jingyan expected that the Emperor would send people to surround Prince Ling's Mansion. The assassins broke into Prince Ling's Mansion, set fire to the observation tower, and killed the eldest prince. If the Emperor did nothing, it would be too disrespectful to treat the two princes and the other. The safety of the emperor's soon-to-be-born grandson was taken seriously, but sending the imperial army was somewhat beyond Xie Jingyan's expectations.

The imperial army guards the emperor and will not leave the palace easily.

The emperor has dispatched the imperial army, and the assassins should not come again.

It was almost time for lunch, and Xie Jingyan went back to Mo Yuxuan.

When he entered the room, Shen Wan was reading and eating fruit. When he saw him sitting down, she took a piece of pear with a fork and handed it to his mouth. Xie Jingyan opened his mouth and bit it.

Dong'er came in from outside and said, "Princess, the wedding date of Young Master Xu and the third girl from Duke Tan's mansion has been set. They will get married on the eighth day of the lunar month next month."

Although Tangze and the others do things in a haphazard manner, they are very trustworthy and willing to admit defeat.

Tangze caught the fish first, but let the fish run away and could not be counted.

Xu Ji caught the fish, Tang Ze kept his word, and Xu Ji got married first.

The marriage between Tang Ze and Xu Huan has not been decided yet, but it should not be many days apart.

Prince Yanping and Xie Jingyan have a good relationship. Shen Wan sincerely hopes that they can get married as soon as possible. If they get married early, they can have babies early, so that the little one in her belly can have more playmates. She hopes that the baby in her belly can also be with him. Like Xie Jingyan, there is such a group of good brothers who are better than real brothers.

The food was served in the small kitchen, and Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan sat down to eat.

After dinner, Xie Jingyan went to the study. Shen Wan rested for a quarter of an hour and then took a nap.

After sleeping for most of an hour, she just woke up, her eyes still bleary-eyed, and Yin Shuang walked in quickly and said, "Princess, the eldest prince is awake!"

Ever since Xie Jingyan said that the eldest prince might have evidence of an assassin, Shen Wan had been looking forward to hearing this.

When Shen Wan heard this, she felt relieved.

It's not easy.

For the eldest prince to be able to wake up from such a serious injury, he was really in danger of dying.

In the study, Xie Jingyan was reading the military book. The news that the eldest prince had woken up would definitely be reported to him as soon as possible.

However, in addition to reporting that the eldest prince was awake, Chen Yu also had something to convey, "The eldest prince wants to see Duke Mao and the Minister of Punishment."

It's normal to meet Duke Mao. Duke Mao is the eldest prince's biological uncle and the person he trusts most.

But see the Minister of Punishment——

Xie Jingyan said, "Do as the eldest prince wants."

Shoukang Palace.

Since the eldest prince was seriously injured, the queen mother had been trying to hold on, eating a lot and unable to sleep. On this day, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the small couch.

Aunt Zhao felt sorry for the Queen Mother and wanted the Queen Mother to sleep on the phoenix couch so that she could sleep more peacefully. However, she was afraid that if she woke up the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would not be able to sleep, so she could only cover the Queen Mother with a thin blanket to prevent her from catching cold.

As soon as the Queen Mother picked her up, a little father-in-law ran in from outside and shouted from afar, "The Queen Mother..."

Aunt Zhao was so angry that she lowered her voice and scolded, "Keep your voice down, what do you have to report?"

The young father-in-law said, "The eldest prince is awake."

Aunt Zhao was overjoyed. Her worries about the Queen Mother being awake and unable to sleep were forgotten. She woke up the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, please wake up quickly. The eldest prince is awake."

The Queen Mother woke up with a start, and Nanny Zhao told her again. Tears welled up in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she was so happy that she was a little incoherent, "Just wake up, just wake up."

It's a pity that the eldest prince is not in the palace, and the queen mother cannot visit him in person.

However, the Queen Mother also knew that Prince Ling and Prince Yanping were indispensable for saving the eldest prince's life. Especially Prince Ling, he was the one who discovered that something happened to the eldest prince, and he was the one who saved the eldest prince from being murdered by an assassin in Prince Ling's Mansion.

The Queen Mother was unable to leave the palace and asked Nanny Zhao to go to Prince Ling's Mansion to see the eldest prince. Nanny Zhao said, "Prince Ling doesn't allow people to visit the eldest prince..."

The Queen Mother said, "The eldest prince is already awake. Prince Ling will not let people go and visit him."

Aunt Zhao immediately took the order and left.

The Queen Mother, who had been hanging for a long time, felt relieved. She felt that the past few days had been longer than the past few decades, and there were a lot of gray hairs on her temples.

The Queen Mother couldn't hold it any longer, but now she felt relieved and fell asleep quickly.

However, she didn't sleep for a while before she was woken up again. The palace maid said, "Your Majesty, Duke Mao has something urgent to see you."

Is there something that requires me to see her now?

The Queen Mother rubbed her sore eyebrows.

Right now, except for the eldest prince's affairs, she didn't want to ask about anything else.

The palace maid added in time, "Mr. Mao Guo came from Prince Ling's Mansion."

The Queen Mother's hand froze, then she raised it, and the palace maid helped her sit up.

"Let him in."

……

As for Xie Jingyan, although he learned about the eldest prince's awakening as soon as possible, he did not go to see the eldest prince immediately.

The eldest prince may not trust him, and he doesn't want to get involved in the assassination of the eldest prince.

He didn't go to the pharmacy until Duke Mao and the Minister of Punishment had seen the eldest prince and left.

But when he arrived at the pharmacy, the eldest prince was unconscious again.

Seeing that the eldest prince's face was pale, Xie Jingyan doubted whether the eldest prince had really woken up. He asked, "Why are you unconscious again?"

Doctor Tao said, "The eldest prince just asked Zhao Yuanzheng to perform acupuncture on him. He forced himself to meet Duke Mao and the Minister of Punishment. After explaining a few words to them, he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep again."

The eldest prince knew that he could not hold on for long, and he was even more afraid that this was his last chance to wake up. He must ask Zhao Yuanzheng to help him. Even if Zhao Yuanzheng said that he had survived the difficulties and was not in a hurry, the eldest prince would not agree. Zhao Yuanzheng helped him and even gave orders. Zhao Yuanzheng had no choice but to obey the orders of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was eager to see Duke Mao, fearing that he would hold his eyes open to death because of his hatred for Jiuquan. Xie Jingyan could understand.

He asked, "How long will it take for the eldest prince to wake up again?"

Doctor Tao said, "I can't tell, it will take at least three to five hours."

Xie Jingyan left the pharmacy without asking any more questions.

As soon as they left the courtyard, the secret guard appeared and said, "After the Minister of Punishment and Duke Mao Guo left the palace, the Minister of Punishment led people out of the city, and Duke Mao entered the palace."

The eldest prince met with Duke Mao and the Minister of Punishment. The secret guards did not eavesdrop. It was not necessary in the first place. The Shangshu of the Punishment Department was Xie Jingyan’s man. If you want to know, just ask the Shangshu of the Punishment Department directly. Secondly, they could not hear anything. The eldest prince had just woken up. The voice was weak, and the secret guard's hearing was not good no matter how good it was.

The direction in which the Minister of Punishment and Duke Mao Guo went were all foreshadowing the coming rain.

This storm came quickly and violently.

In the evening, the maid brought the food into the house. Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan sat down to eat dinner. As soon as they picked up the ivory chopsticks, Dong'er ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the King of Jin murdered the eldest prince. The evidence is conclusive. The Minister of Punishment According to the Queen Mother’s decree, King Jin was imprisoned!”
