Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Chapter 228 Dabao and Xiaohua are poisoned

The others knelt on the ground and trembled. "Tell me! What happened?"

"Your Majesty, we didn't know! Today's cakes were made by Wang alone!"

One of them said, "Your Majesty, originally I was supposed to make the cakes today, but Wang said she had just learned how to make a new cake and asked her to try it! So she made the cakes today!"

Xiao Jingxuan's face was terribly gloomy. He glanced at the kneeling people, and the anger in his heart was burning.

"Investigate for me! You must find out who is behind this!" His voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

At this time, Doctor Bai hurried over.

He immediately felt the pulses of the two children, his expression solemn. "This poison is very strange. I need time to study the antidote."

Qin Ruhuan tightly held Doctor Bai's hand, her eyes full of pleading. "Bai Xiaofeng, you must save my child."

Bai Xiaofeng nodded slightly and began to busy himself with studying the method of detoxification.

There was tension throughout the palace, and everyone was worried about the safety of the two children.

Xiao Jingxuan ordered the palace to be sealed off and the matter to be thoroughly investigated. He vowed to find out who was behind the incident and avenge the two children.

Less than an hour later, Feixue came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, after a thorough investigation, we finally found out! The new cook, Wang, is actually the daughter of the second prince's wet nurse. I think she must have been instructed by the second prince to act this way."

When Xiao Jingxuan heard this, his brows furrowed, his face looked gloomy, and his majestic eyes revealed deep anger.

"It's him! The Second Prince is so bold that he dares to attack the Prince. He is so bold!"

He slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table shook slightly. "Someone! Bring the Second Prince to me!"

Upon receiving the order, Feixue immediately led a team of guards and rushed straight to the Second Prince's residence in a menacing manner.

Along the way, everyone looked solemn and walked in a hurry, creating a strong wind.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Second Prince's residence.

Feixue stepped forward and shouted, "The emperor has ordered us to search the Prince Jin's Mansion!" Seeing this, the guards and servants in the mansion were all panicked and hurried in to report.

The guards moved quickly and orderly, and instantly dispersed to various places in Prince Jin's Mansion.

The servants in the mansion were terrified and had no idea what had happened.

Some were trembling with fear, while others were whispering to each other.

At this time, Feixue stood as straight as a pine tree, with eyes as sharp as a sword. She stared closely at everyone's every move, not missing any suspicious spots.

He knew that this mission was of great importance and he had to find conclusive evidence to report to the emperor.

As the search deepened, the entire Prince Jin's Mansion was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard seemed to sense the solemnity and drooped slightly.

The lanterns on the corridor swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were also worried about the coming storm.

"General! There is a bottle of poison in Prince Jin's wet nurse's room!" The guard ran out to report!

"Someone! Take down the nurse!"

The guards quickly arrested the second prince's wet nurse.

The nurse was terrified, her face turned pale, and she kept shouting for mercy.

Feixue had a blank expression and a determined look in his eyes. He knew that this wet nurse might be the key to solving the mystery!

At this time, the second prince slowly walked out of the mansion. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and did not look panicked at all.

Feixue looked directly at the Second Prince without any hesitation and said in a stiff tone: "Please come to the palace, Second Prince!"

Feixue stood there, her posture as straight as a pine tree, her eyes cold and sharp, staring at the second prince.

His face was cold and expressionless, like a sculpture without any emotion.

The second prince had a furious look on his face, and his eyes revealed reluctance and anger.

He clenched his fists slightly, trying to control his emotions. Facing Feixue's tough attitude, the second prince gritted his teeth and said, "You were just a guard, how dare you speak to me like this!"

Feixue was not moved at all, and still responded expressionlessly: "Prince Jin, I am only following orders. Please ask the Second Prince to follow me into the palace, and His Majesty will make the final decision."

"Feixue, let the nurse go quickly, or else don't blame me for being rude!"

Feixue snorted coldly, "Let him go? King Jin, you are kidding!"

Feixue stopped talking and just made a gesture of invitation.

The second prince glared at Feixue, but was helpless.

He knew that resisting at this moment would only make things worse, so he could only suppress his anger, snorted coldly, and said no more.

Feixue continued to remain vigilant, waiting for the second prince to set off for the palace.

The second prince had no choice but to walk towards the palace surrounded by guards.

Along the way, the Second Prince's mind was full of thoughts, and he kept thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Feixue remained vigilant at all times, keeping a close eye on the Second Prince, fearing that he would make any unusual movements.

At this time, pedestrians on the street looked sideways at this scene, secretly guessing what had happened.

The wind blew gently, raising some dust, as if adding a hint of tension to the coming storm.

The second prince was brought into the palace. Xiao Jingxuan sat high on the dragon throne with a stern expression, staring at the second prince with sharp eyes.

"Hmph, Prince Jin! Do you know why I summoned you here?" Xiao Jingxuan's voice was majestic and cold.

The Second Prince lowered his head slightly and said calmly, "I don't know. Your Majesty, please explain clearly."

At this time, Feixue brought the nurse to the palace. The nurse was trembling all over and her face was pale.

Xiao Jingxuan glared at the nurse and shouted, "Tell me! What's going on?"

The nurse fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Your Majesty, this was all done by me alone, and has nothing to do with the Second Prince. My daughter, Wang, was also instructed by me. I was confused for a moment and made a big mistake. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me."

Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this answer. "Do you think I will easily believe you? My princes and princesses have never met you before, how can there be any grudges, and you want to poison them!"

The nurse kowtowed repeatedly, weeping and saying, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. The Second Prince was totally unaware of this, and it was all because of my momentary confusion. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

After saying that, the nanny suddenly stood up and ran towards the pillar beside her.

Before anyone could react, the wet nurse had already hit her head against a pillar and died.

There was silence in the hall. Xiao Jingxuan had a complicated expression and looked at the Second Prince with doubt in his eyes.

The second prince was also shocked at this time and stood there.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at the second prince kneeling on the ground, his expression becoming more solemn.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "I have always treated you well, but I never thought that you would be involved in such a conspiracy. Although you are my nephew, I have also given you the honor of a prince. Why don't you know how to be grateful?"

After a long while, Xiao Jingxuan continued, "Prince Jin, I know you have something to do with this matter! How dare a nurse like her murder the prince! If anything happens to the prince and the princess, I will kill you!"

The second prince had a little cold sweat on his forehead, "Your Majesty! I really don't know!"
