The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

Chapter 387 Pay Attention

Shen Tang was glad that Concubine Ye didn't know that it was the prince who deposed the Marquis of Changping. You know, the prince would never help her fight for the throne with the Prince of Qi. The princess was a chess piece that was of no use at all. She was afraid that the princess would have been killed by them long ago.

The princess was seriously ill and was tired after the conversation. Shen Tang tucked in the quilt for the princess and then took his leave.

Back at Chenxiangxuan, Shen Tang told Xie Guimo about this. Xie Guimo's face turned pale when he heard it. "How could my father allow such a scourge as the Marquis of Changping to live until now?"

Big disasters give rise to small disasters, and all the disasters fell on the head of King Qi. However, Concubine Ye asked King Qi to endure it and asked Shen Ying to give birth to the child in her belly.

If it really is a son, and he takes after the Marquis of Changping, who knows how many girls he will bring disaster to.

Thinking that it had been half a month since the princess's illness and there was only half a month left, Shen Tang felt depressed.

Even though the doctors and imperial physicians in Kyoto could not cure the princess, they were still invited into the palace as in the previous life, but it was still of no use.

The prince would accompany the princess whenever he was free. Xie Guimo's mood became worse day by day. He watched time pass by but was helpless. That feeling of powerlessness was so torturous.

Previously, they had planned to hold a wedding banquet at Chenxiangxuan for Ginkgo and Qiutong to get married. However, once the princess fell ill, no one mentioned the wedding banquet anymore. If something really happened to the princess, Chenxiangxuan would not be able to hold any weddings for three years.

After dinner, Shen Tang and Xie Guimo went to the Peony Courtyard to see the princess, and then came back. They had developed a habit of doing this in the past half month.

That morning, Shen Tang had just woken up and was struggling to sit up while holding his stomach. Ginkgo came running in and said, "Crown Princess, something bad has happened! The princess vomited blood this morning!"

Shen Tang was shocked, "How could it be?!"

Such a big thing, if it's not true, who would dare to spread it?

Shen Tang's heart was trembling like a sieve. She thought the princess had half a month left to live, but in her previous life, the princess vomited blood and passed away in just three days.

It's the same disease, why is the recovery time shorter this time?!

Shen Tang was so frightened that she quickly got off the bed, but she got up too quickly and felt dizzy. Yin Xing and Qiu Tong hurried to help her up, "No matter how anxious or worried the Crown Princess is, you must be careful with the child..."

Xie Guimo walked in from outside and said, "Aren't you talking about Mother..."

Shen Tang told Xie Guimo in detail about the month from the princess's onset to her death. Shen Tang shook his head, "I don't know why it happened like this..."

After she got dressed and washed up, she didn't even have time to eat breakfast and went to the Peony Courtyard with Xie Guimo.

When the prince returned home from court, he heard that the princess had vomited blood, so he hurried to see her. The second and third wives also went to the Peony Courtyard. After all, they had lived under the same roof for twenty years, and the princess was considered very easy to talk to, so they definitely had to visit her.

The princess was barely breathing and gasped for breath after only a few words.

The prince's eyes were bloodshot, and the hand holding the princess was shaking. He also knew that the princess's vomiting of blood meant that she only had a few days left. He thought she had only half a month left.

The princess was so weak that she couldn't even speak.

The princess actually spent most of the last three days in a coma.

The princess said with difficulty, "I want to stay quiet..."

The prince sent the second wife and the others away, and the princess said to Shen Tang, "You should go back too."

Shen Tang's eyes were red.

Xie Guimo grabbed her hand and took Shen Tang away.

The Second Wife and the others left the Peony Courtyard and whispered, "How could the princess be so seriously ill? I'm afraid..."

I didn't dare say the rest of the words, after all, we were outside the Peony Courtyard and I was afraid someone would hear us.

Although everyone guessed it, the prince and Xie Guimo might not be willing to listen.

They say illness comes as sudden as a mountain falling, but this time it came too quickly. Not to mention the prince and Xie Guimo, even they couldn't accept it.

After Shen Tang and Xie Guimo returned to Chenxiangxuan, it was a long time before Ginkgo said, "The princess will definitely be fine. The prince and princess should have breakfast. Only after eating a full meal will you have the strength to think of a way to save the princess."

Shen Tang said, "Bring the food up."

She had sent the princess away once and was mentally prepared, but Xie Guimo had no memory of his past life and found it difficult to bear.

Shen Tang picked up some food for him, but Xie Guimo's eyes were red and he couldn't eat at all.

When she heard that the princess had vomited blood and fainted, Mrs. An hurried over. Even An Nuan came, carrying a big belly and having difficulty walking.

Shen Tang sent them to the Peony Courtyard. Just as they reached the gate, a maid ran up behind them and said, "Prince's Consort, Prince Ning and Princess Roujia are here."

Mrs. An said to Shen Tang, "You go and welcome Princess Roujia, and we will go to see the princess ourselves."

After saying that, Mrs. An stepped into the yard, and An Nuan followed.

Shen Tang did not follow him and turned around to greet his elder brother and Princess Roujia.

From a distance, Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia were seen approaching, followed by guards and a strange man who did not look like someone from the Ning Dynasty.

Shen Tang went up to her and asked, "Why is sister-in-law here?"

Princess Roujia said, "I heard that the princess was seriously ill, so I came to see her."

Shen Tang guessed that they were also here to visit the princess. There were only them and the old princess Ning in Prince Ning's Mansion. The old princess Ning was already old, and Princess Roujia must be worried about her coming, so she had to come by herself.

Shen Tang's eyes fell on the man, "Brother, who is this?"

Xiao Huan said, "There's been no trouble at the border these past few years, so I've traveled extensively and made many acquaintances. My brother-in-law mentioned the poison to me before, and I happen to know an expert in detoxification, so I sent someone to ask him out. He just arrived in the capital today and is also an expert in detoxification. I'll bring him here for the princess to see if he can be of any help."

Xiao Huan was a cautious person. Xie Guimo told him that the Duke of Zhenguo might have been murdered in battle, hoping that Xiao Huan could help him keep an eye on it.

Xiao Huan was afraid that there might be someone in the court or the army who was good at using poison, and it would be hard to guard against him. It just so happened that he knew someone who had agreed to invite him to travel to Da Qi when they parted ways. So he sent someone to invite the person. If there were anyone else who used poison to harm others, he would not be without any chance to fight back.

Xie Guimo came over and when he heard the word "poison", his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said, "Please come in."
