The Empire and the Kingdom

Seeing Pan's return, Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, and she finally let go of her hanging heart.Taking advantage of the time when Xue Yi came over for snacks, she asked: "Yi'er, I see that your father is not angry with Zhi'er anymore, I want to ask your father to let Zhi'er come back to live, do you think it's okay?" Regarding the previous incident, Mrs. Wang finally began to believe her little daughter's words.

Xue Yi swallowed the snack first, then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said after drinking a cup of tea: "Mother, Madam, do you want to speak up?"

As soon as Wang heard this, she knew that Xue Yi disagreed. "No, I'm thinking of your sister..."

"She should be punished for doing something wrong." Xue Yi said firmly.

Mrs. Wang didn't like to hear these words, "Yi'er, she is your own sister after all, you can't say that about her."

Xue Yi raised her head, her gaze was calm and clear, "Mother, it's because she is my older sister that I don't want her to make the same mistakes again and again. Before she poisoned the elder sister and changed the third sister's medicine, this time and again, if you can Rebuke her severely, let her understand what she did wrong, and she will not commit the mistake of poisoning the princess."

She didn't say anything about the previous things, because she knew how much Wang's love for Xue Zhi, and it was useless for her to say it.

Mrs. Wang was speechless by her daughter's words, she was silent for a long time and sighed, "Okay, mother listens to you, let Zhi'er live outside."

In March of Yangchun, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

Feng Jingsu invited the emperor to take the garrison to field training.Approved by the emperor, Feng Jingsu led the garrison to set up camp in the mountains, and Guan Xuejing followed.Of course Xue Ai wanted to go, but Feng Jingsu was worried about Xue Ai's body because of the cold spring and the strong wind in the mountains, so she stayed in the capital.

Xue Ai was bored at home, so she ran to Princess Ming Qi's mansion.Years and years after this year, she often gets tired of being with Feng Jingsu, but it's been a long time since she came to the eldest princess' mansion.

The eldest princess complained when she saw her, saying that she hadn't seen her for a long time and had forgotten herself.Xue Ai acted like a baby, soft and cute, coaxing the eldest princess to laugh.The eldest princess wanted to keep Xue Ai to stay, but Xue Ai declined.She hasn't lived at home too many times recently. After all, she is an unmarried girl, so it's not good for people to spread the word.

The eldest princess also knew her concerns, and asked her if she was okay recently, and agreed to send a carriage to pick her up to play every day.This lasted for a few days. On this day, Xue Ai suddenly fell down when he was about to leave the Princess's mansion, and then he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out.

The eldest princess who saw this scene with her own eyes almost fainted.The lady in charge, Lingxiang, asked someone to help the eldest princess in and Xue Ai into the guest room, and at the same time asked someone to bring the eldest princess' waist card into the palace to invite the imperial physician.

"Quick! Notify the Prime Minister! And Yun Yi!" The eldest princess was still very clear-headed.

Pan received the news at home that Xue Ai had fainted and vomited blood in the princess mansion, so she hurriedly brought Xue Ying to the princess mansion, and she burst into tears when she saw Xue Ai's face like gold paper.

As soon as Mrs. Pan arrived, the imperial physician also arrived, and after coming in to diagnose Xue Ai's pulse, he frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"Physician Chen, you are talking!" The eldest princess sat aside, anxious.

Imperial physician Chen cupped his hands, "Princess Chang, Miss Xue San's pulse seems to be...poisoned."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The eldest princess was angry at that time, "Investigate! Go and investigate! Go and ask the door to be guarded, and no one in the mansion is allowed to enter or leave. Lingxiang, you take people to investigate one by one, who poisoned Xiao Ai, you must catch them Come out!" The old lady was really angry, wheezing and wheezing non-stop.

Pan quickly came over, "Your Highness, how can you bother the family with the little girl's matter? Why don't you let the minister take the little girl home for treatment, so you can have a good rest."

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, and Pan couldn't help taking a step back with her sharp gaze.

"Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue is like this, it's better not to move." Imperial Physician Chen interjected at the right time.

"Mrs. Xue, since Imperial Physician Chen has said everything, let Xiaoai live with me first. Since the matter happened in my eldest princess's mansion, I must give your Xue family an explanation." The eldest princess said coldly, With the majesty unique to the royal family.

Xue Ying came over and tugged at Pan's skirt, then shook her head at Pan.Pan had no choice but to give up, and sat on the edge of the bed again, watching Xue Ai shed tears.

Lingxiang arranged for people to guard all the doors, and then locked up all those who had the opportunity to poison Xue Ai today, and arranged for people to interrogate one by one.For those who are not on errands today, they will also be arranged for questioning, and no one will be lost.

Xue Ai had already taken the medicine prescribed by Chen Taiyi, but there was still no sign of improvement.The eldest princess was in a hurry, so doctor Chen prescribed a prescription again after taking the pulse, and also let the eldest princess and Pan have a mental preparation.

The eldest princess couldn't stand still when she heard it.Pan cried even harder, didn't say anything, just kept wiping away her tears, Xue Ying also cried with her.

At this time, Feng Jingsu rushed back.As soon as she came in, it brought a burst of cold air. She was able to rush back from the mountain so quickly, and she flew back with light work.

"Xiao Ai!" She rushed to the bed and looked at Xue Ai's face that had begun to turn gray, and grabbed Xue Ai's wrist. Her inner strength could no longer be lost, she frowned, and let go of Xue Ai's hand.

"Yun Yi, don't be too anxious, Xiao Ai will get better." Princess Ming Qi trembled, and seemed unable to sit still.

Only now did Feng Jingsu salute Princess Ming Qi, "Auntie, go and rest, you are too old to be busy, I am here."

Lingxiang also persuaded, and finally persuaded the eldest princess to leave.Feng Jingsu looked back at the mother and daughter who were crying together, "Xiaoai is not dead yet, so you don't need to mourn here! Get out!"

Feng Jingsu had always been respectful to Pan Shi, but when she said these words suddenly Pan Shi even forgot to cry, and looked up at her in a daze.

Feng Jingsu waved her hand, "Madam Xue and Miss Xue, please go out."

A maid from the Princess's Mansion came over, Xue Ying was very afraid of Feng Jingsu, and pulled Pan out quickly.

Feng Jingsu asked everyone to leave, she helped Xue Ai up, and sat cross-legged on the bed herself, with her palms against Xue Ai's back, and slowly pumped out her palms.She remembered that Xiao Changyu had said about Princess Yongning saving Concubine Xian. Since it was all due to internal obstacles, if Princess Yongning could save Concubine Xian, she would definitely be able to save Xue Ai.

Guan Xuejing came back after Feng Jingsu, the difference was that she had to arrange the affairs of the army, and when she came back, she found that Xue Xiang had also rushed to the eldest princess's mansion.

"Master, Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue." Guan Xuejing greeted briefly, "How is Xiaoai now?"

Xue Xiang looked at the opposite door, "Princess Yunyi is inside to save her."

Guan Xuejing wanted to say a few words, but suddenly felt a huge wave of internal energy, she was startled, and rushed into the room.

Feng Jingsu and Xue Ai on the bed were still sitting cross-legged, but Feng Jingsu's forehead had already begun to drip sweat.

"Princess!" Guan Xuejing understood at a glance that this was Feng Jingsu who wanted to help Xue Ai to forcibly force poison.She is clear about Xue Ai's body. After the internal force enters, it will be hindered and cannot function at all.Feng Jingsu's doing this is not only laborious, but also very dangerous for both of them.

"Go call my second sister!" Feng Jingsu thought she could do it, but after a few times, she couldn't break through the obstacles in Xue Ai's body at all, and she didn't dare to use too much internal force at once, for fear of freezing Xue Ai.

Guan Xuejing didn't understand the use of calling Princess Yongning at such a time, but she didn't think about it or ask, and just disappeared.

Not long after, Princess Yongning and Guan Xuejing came in through the back window.Guan Xuejing is rough but fine. The fact that Princess Yongning knows martial arts cannot be known for the time being. She can only take Princess Yongning to look through the window.

On the way, Guan Xuejing had already told about Xue Ai's situation, and Princess Yongning understood why Feng Jingsu called her here.As soon as she entered the room, she directly took over Feng Jingsu's work. Feng Jingsu had consumed a lot of internal energy at the moment, and was helped by Guan Xuejing to sit down and rest.

As time passed, Xue Ai's complexion turned from gray to white, showing some improvement.Both Guan Xuejing and Feng Jingsu were hopeful.

After a while, Princess Yongning withdrew her hand, and Feng Jingsu hurried over to help Xue Ai lie down. "Second sister, how is Xiao Ai?"

Princess Yongning shook her head, "I just temporarily protected her heart, so that she would not immediately attack her heart with poison. But Yun Yi, you also know that our method can only force the poison, but cannot detoxify it. Miss Xue San has already been poisoned. Shen, I can only save her life temporarily."

Even so, Feng Jingsu expressed his gratitude.

Princess Yongning waved her hand, "Yun Yi, you'd better get her into the palace, so that it will be easier for you and me to save her." She couldn't stay long, and left immediately after speaking.

Feng Jingsu looked at Xue Ai who was lying on the bed, her happy and angry little face was pale and frightening now, she didn't even have the mind to think about why Xue Ai was poisoned and who poisoned her, she just wanted Xue Ai to survive now.

"Princess, Princess Yongning is right. The Eldest Princess is not a place to stay for a long time. You can't rest assured of the Xue family. It's safest to put it in your Shenhe Palace." Guan Xuejing was calmer than Feng Jingsu at this time.

Feng Jingsu finally came to her senses, "You guard Xiao Ai, I'll go and tell my aunt."

The eldest princess would not be embarrassed, but Xiang Xue disagreed. "Princess, Ai'er is the daughter of my Xue family. Now that her life or death is uncertain, it is natural for this minister to bring her back to the Xue family for treatment."

Feng Jingsu gave Xue Xiang a cold look, "Master Xiang, if you really want to keep Xiao Ai's life, you'd better listen to me. I won't harm Xiao Ai, but the family..." She glanced Pan Shi and Xue Ying next to her said, "But I can't say for sure."

Although Pan is more afraid of Feng Jingsu, but now that Xiang Xue is here, and she is on the same side as her, she has become more courageous, "Princess, you can't take Xiao Ai away like this! What if Xiao Ai has troubles?" , won't we as parents not even be able to see her for the last time?"

As soon as these words were said, Feng Jingsu, the eldest princess and Xue Xiang all looked sideways. Xue Xiang was unhappy, but he couldn't say anything in front of outsiders.Feng Jingsu sized Pan up and down, "Mrs. Xue is so sure that Xiao Ai won't come back?"

Pan's speech was at a loss, Xue Ying came over and said: "Princess, my mother is also worried about the third sister, and besides, the third sister is a servant girl, so why bother the princess to take care of her? It doesn't make sense."

Feng Jingsu couldn't be in the mood to argue with Xue's family, and said bluntly: "Today I will bring Xiaoai into the palace, if you have the ability, come and stop it." After she finished speaking, she saluted the eldest princess and turned around to leave.

Pan Shi and Xue Ying looked at Xue Xiang, and Xue Xiang looked at Feng Jingsu's leaving back, but did not speak any more.

The eldest princess coughed, which attracted the attention of the three people, "I'm old, I don't want to care about the affairs of the younger generation, but Xiaoai's affairs are related to my eldest princess's mansion, even if your Xue family doesn't care about it, I will We have to find out about this matter." She raised her eyelids and glanced at Xue Xiang, "Xue Xiang, it was Yun Yi who was rude just now. But she was also in a hurry to save Xiao Ai. Your Xue family is from the prime minister's family, so naturally Nothing is missing, what is missing is the imperial physician in the palace. The most important thing right now is to save Xiao Ai, if you still feel embarrassed, when Xiao Ai recovers, I will ask Yun Yi to make an apology to your Xue family." This is clear He was speaking for the Xue family, but in fact he was slapping the Xue family in the face.

Feng Jingsu offended the Xue family because of saving Xue Ai, and even went to apologize to the Xue family after the end, how could there be such a reason in the world?

Xue Xiang was not confused, knowing that the eldest princess was already dissatisfied with her family.He hurriedly got up and said: "Your Highness is serious. I am just impatient. Since the princess can save my daughter, I am naturally willing."

The eldest princess nodded. Fortunately, Xue Xiang is a sensible person.Her eyes flicked to Pan's side, if she had to deal with Mrs. Xue, she would be pissed to death.

"Forget it, I'm going to investigate the people in the mansion..." The eldest princess said and got up, which meant to see off the guests.

Xue Xiang hurriedly took Pan Shi and Xue Ying out of the princess' mansion.As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xue Xiang asked someone to directly seal Pan's Wanning Garden and Xue Ying's Weiying Pavilion.Then they locked up Pan Shi and Xue Ying separately, and asked Mother Chen to lead someone to interrogate the servants of Wanning Garden and Weiying Pavilion one by one.

After learning that Xue Ai had been poisoned, Mother Chen also took a breath of fright.The first person she questioned was Mama Xie.

"Thank you, mother, we are all old people in the house. I don't see you when I look up, and I don't talk to you. Does the third lady's poisoning have anything to do with your wife?" Mother Chen began to understand. Affection.

Mama Xie immediately shook her head, "Mother Chen, why do you ask such a question? Madam is Miss San's biological mother, how could a biological mother want to harm her daughter? This is a terrible thing!"

Mama Chen observed that Mama's demeanor did not seem to be fake, so she questioned her for a while before letting go.Mother Chen didn't have such patience for other maids.She is a person raised by the old lady. She usually looks kind, but she can be ruthless if she really wants to do it.The women took them out to beat the board directly, and beat them again if they didn't recruit.

Crying for father and mother in the yard, the sound disturbed Xihaiju and Yunjianxuan.Wang's thoughts are all about Xue Zhi these days, and she has to go out to see Xue Zhi every now and then, but she didn't go out today, and suddenly heard a voice from Wanning Garden, she hurriedly asked the maid to go out to see what happened.

The servant girl's face turned pale when she came back, "Auntie, the wives of Wanning Court and Weiying Pavilion are all boarded up in the yard. It seems that they want to say something, but they didn't say anything specifically."

"Where are Madam and Missy?" Wang felt that the matter was too unusual.

The servant girl shook her head, "I didn't see it."

"Those two must have caused trouble." Wang said softly, "What kind of trouble did this cause? It can make Xiangye so angry." This is too scary!
