Chapter 416 Princess Rong was poisoned?
Because Qin Huaizhao was busy with official duties, it was common for him to be delayed until nightfall, so Ling Jinlan accompanied him and had dinner together.
By the time I got home, it was already past midnight.
Without taking any time to rest, the two rushed to Chuiyuxuan to pay their respects to Princess Rong.
But at this moment, Princess Rong had already gone to bed.
When he learned that they had come to pay their respects, he got up from the bed again, feeling dizzy.
"Why are you back so late?"
Qin Huaizhao replied, "The Dali Temple is very busy. Some cases are handled until dark, so it's not uncommon for us to return home late at night."
"I didn't know that mother had gone to bed. If we had known, we wouldn't have come to disturb her."
Princess Rong sighed, feeling sad. They were obviously the closest relatives, but they didn't understand each other's lives at all.
"Is Ling Jinlan going to the Dali Temple tomorrow?"
Qin Huaizhao nodded. "Jinlan helped us a lot today. We still have many portraits that need her to paint. She has been accompanying me to the Dali Temple for the past month."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong frowned.
It was false that the Dali Temple needed Ling Jinlan, and the truth was that Ling Jinlan was avoiding her. What's more, this idea came from her own son. What could she say?
Even if it is exposed, he will not admit it.
"You guys go out early and come back late, so there's no need to come to visit me morning and evening. My old bones can't stand this kind of tossing and turning every day."
Hearing this, Qin Huaizhao was delighted.
"Thank you so much for your consideration, mother!"
"It's late, Mom, go to bed early."
Then the two of them left.
In the following days, Ling Jinlan went out early and came back late with Qin Huaizhao, staying in the Dali Temple for the whole day, and almost did not see Princess Rong the whole day.
After a long time, Ling Jinlan began to feel a little guilty.
So he took advantage of his free time to go to Mantingfang to pick out some ready-made clothes and fabrics, and sent them to Princess Rong in the evening.
Princess Rong only saw it when she woke up the next day.
With a gleam in his eyes, he stroked the delicate and soft brocade and sighed, "When I left Kyoto, there was no such fine material, and I had never seen such a pattern."
"The silks and satins in Kyoto today are truly dazzling."
Princess Rong held it in her hands and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.
I sighed, "Although I have been separated from Huai Zhao for so many years, he still knows my preferences."
"Look, this material is one of the best in Kyoto."
"He's thoughtful..."
As soon as the words fell, Shao Pei said somewhat embarrassedly: "Princess, these are not given by the prince."
"It was sent by the Crown Princess."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong's face changed and she immediately put down the silk in her hand.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier!"
"Quick, check it carefully. What if there is something poisonous inside that will kill me?"
"She suddenly gave me such precious silk. She must have had bad intentions."
"This is a common tactic used by the women in the harem. To win favor, they put poison powder on the fabric. At the very least, it causes redness, itching, and rashes, while at the worst, it can be life-threatening!"
Shao Pei then carefully checked each item one by one.
Suddenly, some powder was found inside the folded clothes.
Although it is very rare, it can be seen.
"Princess, there is some powder on it." Shao Pei rubbed it on her fingertips.
Princess Rong's face suddenly changed and she slammed the table and stood up.
"There is indeed a problem!"
"This little bitch couldn't hold back her revenge on me so quickly. She must be holding a grudge against me for making things difficult for her on our wedding day!"
Then she angrily shouted, "Quick! Go and invite Huai Zhao back. Tell him that I'm feeling unwell after touching these materials!"
This time she must let her son see Ling Jinlan's true face!
"Yes!" Shao Pei agreed and immediately sent someone to invite the prince back home.
Qin Huaizhao, who was busy in the Dali Temple, learned that his mother was in trouble. Without asking any questions, he hurried back home with Ling Jinlan.
Inside Chuiyuxuan, Princess Rong looked pale and haggard, leaning weakly on the bed.
"Huai Zhao, you're finally back. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to see you for the last time..."
Qin Huaizhao quickly stepped forward and squatted down, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? What last time?"
"What's wrong with you? Weren't you fine yesterday?"
At this moment, Ling Jinlan had already instructed the maid to invite Doctor Hong from Huichuntang.
Doctor Hong is a skilled doctor and is trustworthy.
However, when he turned around, he heard Princess Rong crying and complaining: "You bride, you have such a vicious heart!"
"These silks and clothes were specially sent to me, but they contained poisonous powder. As soon as I touched them, I became ill and could not breathe."
Ling Jinlan was stunned and at a loss.
Qin Huaizhao frowned, turned his head to look at the silks on the table, and asked, "Are you talking about those?"
"How can there be poison powder!"
"Did you touch something else poisonous?"
He didn't believe it at all. He stood up, picked up the silk, examined it, and put it to his nose to smell it.
Princess Rong was so frightened that she almost fell off the bed and quickly stopped him, "Don't smell it! It's poisonous!"
Qin Huaizhao did not find any poison on the silk.
He said coldly: "There is no poison on it!"
"The doctor will come later and show you what the cause is."
Princess Rong clutched her chest in pain, "You don't believe me, even after all this, you still don't believe me!"
"She just holds a grudge against me for making things difficult for her on your wedding day!"
Qin Huaizhao's brows showed a hint of impatience.
"Mom, you also know that you shouldn't have made things difficult for her that day? Why are you becoming more and more unreasonable?"
Princess Rong was furious. "Okay, okay, you'll know when the doctor comes!"
Soon, Dr. Hong arrived.
Upon learning that Princess Rong was poisoned, he hurried forward to take her pulse and diagnose her, but he fell into deep thought with a frown on his face.
After taking the pulse, he changed his hand to take the pulse.
"Doctor, is there any cure for me?" Princess Rong's heart rose to her throat when she saw the doctor's serious expression.
Doctor Hong withdrew his hand, his expression extremely heavy.
"Princess Rong...isn't poisoned."
"Did you make a mistake?"
"She has a strong pulse, is in good health, and is doing very well."
After hearing this, Qin Huaizhao and Ling Jinlan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Princess Rong was in disbelief. "How is that possible? Doctor, there's powder in the clothes. It must be poisonous!"
Hearing this, Doctor Hong stepped forward and picked up the clothes to examine them.
After finding the powder on it, I put it in my mouth and tasted it. I felt helpless and funny at the same time.
He flipped over the area with more powder and said, "This isn't poison powder, it's tailor's chalk!"
After hearing this, Qin Huaizhao and Ling Jinlan immediately understood.
Princess Rong's eyes widened. "Powdering? How is that possible? Whose tailor would leave so much powder behind?"
Ling Jinlan reluctantly stepped forward to explain: "Because this is newly made by Mantingfang."
"Generally speaking, the powder will shake off cleanly after hanging up ready-made clothes. I think the pattern and style of this dress are very suitable for mother. I need it urgently, so I packed it up and bought it back as soon as it was made."
"I caused a misunderstanding and caused Mother to suffer so much panic and fear for nothing."
Princess Rong was shocked.
Qin Huaizhao felt even more angry. "Mom, Jinlan was so thoughtful, and you accused her of poisoning you without knowing the truth?"
"You're not afraid of being laughed at if it gets out!"
