The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wen Yao stood up suddenly. No wonder this marriage was so strange. It turned out that Young Master Xie was paralyzed.

In the original plot, Young Master Xie's suicide tonight was actually murder, which also led to her being accused of being a husband-killer for no reason.

She rushed over without thinking twice. Saving people or not was secondary. After all, Young Master Xie deceived her into marrying her, so he was not a good man.

But if she could change the fate of Mr. Xie being murdered in time, her reputation as a husband-killer would no longer exist.

Unfortunately, just as she stood up, the door of the bridal chamber was pushed open forcefully.

"Third Young Master!"

The maids of Prince Fenyang's mansion all bowed. Meng Wenyao, who was under the veil, pulled Hua Mian, who suddenly tensed up, behind her and said, "I wonder why the Third Young Master is here?"

Xie Jinbao looked around and pretended to be casual: "Brother is taking medicine. I heard that sister-in-law couldn't wait and sent someone to inquire, so I came to say it specially. Brother will come to lift the veil in a while."

Feeling Hua Mian's trembling body, Meng Wen Yao quickly realized that Hua Mian's attempt to gather information might have been discovered by Xie Jinbao.

Considering that Hua Mian heard so many secrets that could not be told, if Xie Jinbao found out that the person was Hua Mian, Hua Mian would probably die soon.

She patted Hua Mian's hand soothingly and said with a smile, "Third Young Master, you are joking. I didn't send anyone out to get information. The eldest young master is ill, so how could I be so impatient? I just sent a little maid out to see if the dowry was properly arranged. I think the Third Young Master misunderstood."

Xie Jinbao glanced around suspiciously and said casually: "Oh, I wonder which girl is responsible for the dowry of my sister-in-law. I'll go and help take a look."

Meng Wenyao said nonchalantly, "It was a maid named Ping'er. She just came in to report before you came. She is fine now."

"It turned out to be Miss Ping'er. I'd better go over and take a look to make sure Miss Ping'er hasn't missed anything."

"Thank you very much, Third Young Master."

After Xie Jinbao left, Meng Wen Yao and Hua Mian both breathed a sigh of relief. This way, Xie Jinbao would think that the person who eavesdropped was Ping'er. In the original plot, it was Ping'er who betrayed her, and now Xie Jinbao was holding a grudge against her, which was her retribution.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Wenyao felt someone suddenly pull her sleeve, and then she heard Hua Mian say, "Miss, don't worry, the Third Young Master has promised that the First Young Master will be here soon."

Meng Wen Yao immediately thought of the murder of Xie Nanan. Now that Xie Jinbao could come to the bridal chamber, did it prove that Xie Nanan had been killed?

But she had to go there anyway. As long as she went in time, maybe she could find some evidence. As long as she could prove that Xie Nanan was murdered, she would not be labeled as a husband-killer.

"Since the eldest master is ill, I am worried if I just sit here. Why don't I go over and take a look?"

The maids from Prince Fenyang's mansion in the bridal chamber looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not seen the groom yet and if he came, the bride would go out and find him herself.

While they were stunned, Meng Wen Yao had already left the bridal chamber with the help of Hua Mian.

Helplessly, they had to hurry and catch up. In order to avoid any more trouble, they carefully led Meng Wen Yao to Xie Nanan's yard from the nearest road.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, a maid complained: "How come the servants are so lazy that they don't even know how to turn on the lights."

The maids hurriedly lit the lights and pushed open Xie Nanan's door. Before Meng Wen Yao could step in, she heard the maids screaming one by one.

She no longer cared about etiquette and immediately lifted her veil. She saw Xie Nanan lying on the ground, his face pale and blood flowing from his mouth and nostrils.

It was obvious that he had been poisoned. When the maids screamed in fear, Meng Wen Yao quickly stepped forward. She checked Xie Nanan's breath and fortunately there was still a faint trace of breathing.

"Young Master, Young Master, wake up."

When the maids were running around aimlessly in fear, she turned back and immediately ordered the maids, "Go and call the doctor and ask the prince to come over."

At this moment, Xie Nanan slowly woke up, as if he was having a last breath. He held on to his last breath and whispered in Meng Wenyao's ear: "It's Xie Jinbao, Ma Yang."

Meng Wenyao had known for a long time that Xie Jinbao had done it. If I remembered correctly, this Ma Yang should be Xie Nanan's personal servant. Could it be that he was also bribed by Xie Jinbao?

"My Lord, please hold on, the doctor will be here soon."

Meng Wen Yao shouted loudly and anxiously urged the maids to hurry up, but unfortunately it was too late.

By the time Prince Fenyang came with doctors and others, Xie Nanan was already dead.

"My son!"

Following a shrill cry, Meng Wen Yao was pushed aside by a woman. She stood up silently and saw King Fenyang approaching.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. When we arrived, the eldest master had already fallen to the ground and was no longer breathing."

Meng Wen Yao lied without hesitation. She knew the secret of Xie Nanan's death. If Xie Jinbao found out, she would be in danger in the future. Now that she kept the secret, the enemy was in the open and she was in the dark, so she could make good use of it in the future.

Anyway, when they came in, the maids were so scared that no one saw Xie Nanan talking at all. They were all blocked from view by Meng Wenyao's body at the back.

Now, of course, it was up to the maids to decide what Meng Wenyao said and what they thought. They all nodded in agreement, "When we arrived, the eldest master had already passed away."

Of course, the maids had other considerations. If Xie Nanan was still alive when they came in, they would have been considered to have failed to provide adequate treatment today.

If Xie Nanan was already dead when they came in, then it definitely had nothing to do with them.

A maid in charge said cautiously, "We came here because the eldest young master's wife wanted to come and see the eldest young master. When we arrived, the whole courtyard was dark and no one was there. We turned on the lights and came in, and we saw that the eldest young master was bleeding from all seven orifices and had no breath."

This also put the blame on Meng Wen Yao for coming to find Xie Nanan, but now it is a trivial matter.

I could only hear Concubine Bao crying and almost fainting: "My son, please speak quickly, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

When Prince Fenyang saw this scene, his eyes were red with heartache. He slowly stepped forward and hugged Concubine Bao to comfort her, saying, "An'er is gone. Let the doctor take a look. What happened?"

"Yes, someone must have drugged An'er, that's for sure, otherwise An'er wouldn't have bled so much, Your Majesty, someone wants to kill your son, you must not let her go!"

While saying this, Concubine Bao looked at another beautiful middle-aged woman with hatred in her eyes.
