Chapter 113 Golden Hairpin
The Ninth Prince of Southern Liang stared at the chief eunuch without blinking, and judged from his lip movements that the report consisted of five words.
But he couldn't guess which five words they were.
However, judging from the emperor's reaction the moment the eunuch chief finished speaking, his rage that almost burst out, the red marks on Su Yunyun's body must not be ordinary rashes.
Red marks...
The Ninth Prince of Nanliang knew what it meant when red marks appeared on a woman’s body without even having to guess.
He looked at Su Yunyun with eyes like a falcon.
A princess who was about to marry a general of the Southern Liang Dynasty could have sex with someone in the queen's bedroom, and even at a palace banquet specially held for her...
The Ninth Prince of Nanliang pulled up a smile, his eyes were cold.
Qin Wanru glanced at the Ninth Prince of Nanliang, then turned to Su Qingqing and said, "Is this your plan?"
Su Qingqing looked back at her. "It's a collaboration between two people. How can I do it alone? You've already had a stomachache today. Why is this stomachache in vain?"
Qin Wanru smiled immediately and said nothing more.
She looked at the wine cup in front of her for a while, then turned to Su Yunyun and said, "Your hairpin is so beautiful. It looks familiar to me. Can I take a look?"
Su Yunyun did not doubt her, and she was feeling uneasy at the moment, so she forced a smile and pulled out the hairpin and handed it to Qin Wanru, "Sister Wanru likes it, I'll give it to you."
Qin Wanru shook her head politely, "How can I..."
She stopped talking halfway through her sentence, her body suddenly stiffened, her eyes fixed on the golden hairpin in her hand, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole body swayed, and she fell down on the table in front of her with a thud.
Su Qingqing heard the loud noise clearly.
This guy is really ruthless.
If he falls over headfirst, his forehead will probably be bruised and his nose will also be damaged.
Su Qingqing is the Crown Princess's consort. She is not very familiar with Qin Wanru, the Second Prince's consort, and they are even sworn enemies. As a domineering princess who acts on her own will, when Qin Wanru suddenly vomited blood and fainted, Su Qingqing was just startled and jumped up and took two steps back, but did not go forward to help her.
Qin Wanru's maid rushed over, hugged her master and cried, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you?"
This huge sudden explosion startled the entire banquet hall.
The atmosphere of the banquet, which was already filled with weirdness, was pushed to the extreme at this moment.
The emperor looked over here in shock, "What's going on?"
Qin Wanru was the empress's biological daughter-in-law. Even if he usually disliked her, he couldn't help but feel anxious at this moment. He sat up and walked towards Qin Wanru, saying, "Quick, take a look at her, call the imperial physician."
The female doctor who had just examined Su Yunyun was still in the main hall. She came over here immediately after hearing the news.
Qin Wanru's maid knelt on one side to guard her master, crying, "Our queen liked the golden hairpin on Princess Qingyun's head, took it to have a look, and after taking a look, she vomited blood and fainted. Queen, Queen..."
Su Yunyun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she waved her hands repeatedly, "It's none of my business, it's none of my business, I didn't do anything."
Her behavior was undoubtedly inappropriate.
The Second Prince's wife vomited blood and fainted. As the person closest to her seat, she did not step forward to show concern, but instead immediately distanced herself from the matter.
The Queen Mother frowned.
Qin Wanru's maid seemed to be angered by Su Yunyun's action. She turned around and glared at Su Yunyun fiercely, "It has nothing to do with you? How dare you say it has nothing to do with you? If it really has nothing to do with you, then stay away from our Second Prince!"
Before these words were finished, a crisp sound was heard in the hall.
The maid was slapped by the queen and fell to the side.
The female doctor had finished her examination and reported with an anxious look, "The Second Prince's Consort was poisoned. She was shocked and angry just now, so the poison suddenly took effect."
Poisoning?
Shocked and angry?
The maid who was slapped by the queen didn't care about anything else. She crawled to her master crying and said, "How could our queen be poisoned? The dishes at the banquet are the same for everyone. How could only our queen be poisoned?"
The female doctor shook her head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not an expert in medicine and cannot determine what kind of poison this is. However, I can guess that the poison has been in the Second Prince's wife's body for at least a year. I just felt her pulse and found that her body and uterine coldness are related to the poison."
Cold body and cold uterus.
Uterine cold.
Qin Wanru has not been pregnant since she entered the Second Prince's mansion.
Without the doctor saying much, everyone guessed what was going on.
As they were talking, the imperial physician who had been summoned rushed over. Qin Wanru's maid gritted her teeth and hugged her master, "Your Majesty, please give our queen some respect and at least send the person to the side hall for further examination. Even if our queen is not favored, she is still..."
The maid's words were cunning and hit the queen right in the heart.
Everyone knows that before the Su family encountered trouble, the Queen was fond of Su Yunyun, and the Second Prince was also fond of Su Yunyun, and they were determined to marry her to the Second Prince as a concubine.
The queen's face suddenly turned ugly.
But it was true that she did not send the person to the side hall for the doctor to check immediately.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Alright, hurry up and send Wanru to the back palace. It's important to detoxify her!"
Qin Wanru's maid gritted her teeth, picked up her master, and personally carried her into the back hall, with the imperial physician following closely behind.
The banquet hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Su Qingqing bent down to pick up the golden hairpin that fell on the ground and took a look at it. "No wonder she wanted to vomit blood."
These words were spoken without any context, breaking the silence of the hall.
Su Qingqing held the golden hairpin and approached Su Yunyun, "Why is the golden hairpin on your head a dowry given to the Second Prince's wife by her family?"
boom!
The entire hall was filled with low murmurings.
Su Yunyun's face was pale and she was trembling. She couldn't utter a word and she sat there, swaying.
She is like this, what other explanation is needed?
Everyone knows that Su Yunyun is eloquent.
But now she is so scared...
Su Qingqing turned around and faced the queen in front of her, and poked the hairpin in front of the queen , "Look, mother, it says, beloved daughter Wanru."
Although none of the guests were from Qin Wanru's family, there was a noblewoman who was very close to Qin Wanru's family. She stared at the hairpin for a moment and immediately remembered, "This was made by the Second Prince's Consort's mother on her third birthday."
One stone can cause a wave thousand feet high.
Everyone knows that the Second Prince's wife's mother died of illness when she was three years old.
"She knew she didn't have much time left, so she summoned a craftsman to make twelve golden hairpins at once, so that after she was gone, the Second Prince's wife could still receive a gift from her on her birthday every year before she reached the age of 15."
This motherly love is so heavy that it makes people breathless.
It was just such a hairpin that was worn on Su Yunyun's head today.
What is this?
Demonstration?
