Chapter 158 Falling Ill, Rumors Arise Again
The female official listened to Empress Chen's sigh, lowered her head, and dared not speak anymore.
Fortunately, Empress Chen did not ask any further questions. After sighing, she talked about other things, as if she had just mentioned it casually and there was no deep meaning.
That night, Jiang Cheng got drunk in the brothel and got into a fight with someone out of jealousy, destroying the brothel.
In the end, Jiang Chi personally stepped forward, brought Jiang's servants, captured him, and compensated the brothel for its losses.
This incident caused quite a stir, and before daybreak, it had already reached the ears of many people.
Even the neighbors near the Jiang family heard Jiang Cheng's screams like a pig being slaughtered, and they all guessed that he had been severely punished this time.
After daybreak, the news that Jiang Cheng, jealous of someone and causing a scene in a brothel, was taken back by Jiang Chi and severely punished, spread throughout the capital.
When Lai Fu heard the news, he immediately reported it to Situ Yuan.
Xie Ying happened to be nearby and heard everything clearly.
Situ Yuan waited for Lai Fu to finish speaking before letting him go out to continue his inquiries. Then he turned around, looked at Xie Ying with a burning gaze, and whispered, "It seems something happened to Chen Shou at the Sun residence yesterday, and Jiang Cheng happened to be there at the time. Later, Sun Kang was imprisoned, but Jiang Cheng caused a scene at the brothel that very night. What do you think is the reason?"
Xie Ying looked at him innocently and blinked her big eyes, still with that confused look of "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Situ Yuan: “…”
He had no choice but to change the question: "Tell me, what happened to Chen Shou in the Sun Mansion?"
Xie Ying still looked innocent, but secretly complained in her heart: [I'm still a baby, and you ask me such a question?]
Situ Yuan: “…”
He simply stopped asking and decided to find someone else to inquire.
Who knew that the next thing she knew was that she could hear Xie Ying's inner voice: [Hehe, could I possibly tell you that Chen Shou had Sun Kang forcefully lock up a man yesterday, nearly killing him?]
Situ Yuan's pupils trembled: "!!!"
He didn't dare let Xie Ying see it, so he could only use great willpower to tighten his little face and lower his eyes to hide the intense shock in his eyes.
Although she had already guessed that something would happen to Chen Shou, but the sayings "a strong man locks up a man" and "your chrysanthemum is in danger"... where on earth did Xie Ying learn these messed up words from!
It’s simply... it’s a real challenge to human’s expression control!
Fortunately, Xie Ying only glanced at Situ Yuan with disdain and did not keep staring at him.
I have to say, this kid still looks skinny and sickly, which is really unsightly.
Xie Ying didn't bother to look at him much except when she was helping him with treatment.
At this moment, she was carefully recalling the excitement of yesterday in her mind.
As a little baby, she was really bored right now. Since she had given Chen Shou such a drug, how could she just leave it alone?
So yesterday morning, she arranged for Xiangxiang to lurk beside Chen Shou, preparing to secretly watch the show.
Who knew the medicine would be so effective after just taking it!
All I can say is that Chen Shou is worthy of being a stud father, he is naturally very attractive. After stimulating the secretion of pheromones in his body, he becomes even more attractive.
Just like that, some people couldn't control themselves after attending a party.
It’s just that yesterday’s commotion was too big, and Xie Ying was really worried that Chen Shou would continue to hang around outside and another man would lose control.
Taking advantage of the night, he let Xiangxiang sneak into Chen's house again and absorb some of his vitality.
This makes him weak and he happens to be bedridden, so he stays at home and doesn't go out to seduce other people.
The effect of the medicine on him would last for a month, so Xie Ying planned to let him become weak for a month first.
Anyway, Chen Shou had already suffered internal injuries, and was frightened by Sun Kang yesterday, so it was normal for him to be weak.
Even if the imperial physician were to examine him, he would not be able to find any other cause.
Although this method is good, it is a bit shocking, so Xie Ying will not reveal it to anyone.
But even if she didn't say it, the Chen family would not hide the news that Chen Shou was frightened and sick.
Not only did the Chen family not hide it, they also deliberately publicized it, causing a lot of discussion outside. Everyone was speculating about why Chen Shou was frightened, and some people even directly suspected Jiang Cheng and Sun Kang.
After all, it was no secret that Sun Kang was imprisoned.
However, Emperor Taihe kept his mouth shut and no one dared to reveal the truth.
Those who witnessed the scandal of Chen Shou and Sun Kang together with Jiang Cheng were frightened and kept silent. They closed their doors and refused to see visitors, saying that they were sick and dared not see anyone.
No one dared to reveal the truth, so everyone could only guess what evil things Sun Kang and Jiang Cheng had done, which frightened Chen Shou and others so much that they fell ill.
But Jiang Cheng was protected by Concubine Jiang, so he could escape harm even if he did something evil.
Only Sun Kang became the scapegoat.
As soon as Lai Fu told Situ Yuan the news he had found out, Situ Yuan immediately had a guess.
He didn't dare to look at Xie Ying, but just thought about it secretly in his heart.
With Chen Shou's temperament, it is impossible for him to suddenly fall ill at such a time. There must be something strange about his illness.
Or he pretended to be sick and acted pitifully to force Emperor Taihe to severely punish Jiang Cheng and Sun Kang.
Or maybe Xie Ying did something and deliberately made him sick.
Another possibility is that Xie Ying did something, and the Chen family took advantage of this matter, deliberately spreading the news of Chen Shou's illness to everyone, playing the victim to gain sympathy.
However, Emperor Taihe would never ignore Chen Shou's illness and would definitely send the imperial physician to visit him.
If Chen Shou was pretending to be sick, the imperial physician would not be able to fail to notice it.
Unless he was bribed by the Chen family.
Situ Yuan thought about it and looked at Xie Ying again. Seeing her eyes wide open and looking at him innocently, he immediately had the answer in his mind: no need to think about it anymore, it must have been Xie Ying who did it.
Otherwise, she would only be surprised that Chen Shou suddenly fell ill, instead of pretending to be innocent in front of him.
Situ Yuan looked at Xie Ying's chubby little face and her big black eyes again, and secretly felt funny in his heart: It turns out that the baby's vest is still useful. Who would have thought that the mastermind behind this would be this cute, white and tender baby in front of him?
When he raised his eyes again, he saw Lai Fu also looking at Xie Ying with a loving look on his face.
Situ Yuan: “…”
He felt that Lai Fu's expression was simply offensive, so he decisively sent him away again: "Keep asking around and see if there's any other news. I want to know what people outside are saying."
When Lai Fu heard that he had to go out again, he instantly became listless and felt a little aggrieved.
He secretly glanced at Situ Yuan with a resentful look in his eyes: Young Master, I just got back!
Situ Yuan's face turned serious: "Why aren't you going yet?"
Lai Fu shuddered and quickly followed the order and went out.
When he got outside, he touched his arm with some fear, feeling that he was really useless: the little boy was only five years old, how could he be so scared with just one look?
Oh, the little lady from the Xie family is still the cutest.
It has a cute baby face, black and bright eyes, and is very well-behaved!
He also wants to have such a beautiful little girl in the future!
Lai Fu was ambitious and left the Princess's Mansion in high spirits.
Unexpectedly, not long after I went out, I heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds, obviously someone was riding a horse at full speed!
He was so scared that he quickly retreated to the side of the road and then turned his head to look.
I saw a Black Kirin guard riding on a horse, approaching quickly from afar and heading towards the palace gate.
Lai Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and ran all the way back to the Princess's Mansion.
The Black Kirin Guards are galloping on horseback in the capital, there must be some important news!
