Chapter 27
It was finally quiet.
When the carriage stopped, Xie Juan hurriedly turned back, opened the bead curtain, and tore off the fine Dongbead curtain.
Dongzhu fell all over the floor.
"Chaohua."
"Well, thank you... I feel so much pain!" Chao Hua whispered and looked up at him before fainting.
"Chaohua!" Xie Juan hurriedly picked up the person and jumped out of the carriage.
"Chaohua..."
Gu Wang heard the news and rushed over immediately, but was a step too late.
"Get out of the way."
Xie Juan's face was cold and his eyes were as cold as the tip of a knife.
"This is the closest to Baicao Hall, where is Chu Yue?" Gu Wan looked at the person in his arms and said.
"Don't worry about the prince." Xie Juan ignored him and sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor. He carried her back to the princess's house.
…
"Rose! They are all a bunch of losers! The princess was poisoned, and then the carriage was tampered with, but you haven't been able to catch the murderer for a long time. What is the use of the imperial court raising you bunch of losers?"
"I dragged them all out and chopped them up!"
Several ministers would be on the ground, knocking their heads on the floor and not daring to breathe.
Except for Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion, and the governor's city soldiers, all were called and scolded.
When the news came that the princess's carriage lost control and fainted due to fright, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Sure enough, Long Yan was furious. If anything happened to the princess, everyone would lose their heads.
Xie Zheng knelt at the front and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and give me some time. I will solve the case as soon as possible and get to the bottom of it."
"Hmph! I will give you three days. If the murderer is not found within three days, I will not give you mercy." Emperor Mingde was filled with anger, "Get out of here!"
A group of people were relieved, glanced at Xie Zheng gratefully, and ran away.
If Xie Juan is the prince-in-law, then the Xie family are relatives of the emperor. If anything goes wrong, it’s good to have the Xie family in front of you.
Emperor Mingde was worried about his daughter, "How is the princess mansion now?"
The chamberlain beside her, Eunuch An, said hurriedly: "Back to the emperor, the princess has woken up. I heard that she is fine. She was too frightened and was bruised a little. Now the prince-in-law is taking care of her."
"It's all been cleaned out, so why do you think it's no big deal?" Emperor Mingde's eyes flashed with anger, "When has Chaohua ever suffered such a crime in the palace?"
"Your Majesty, calm down..." Eunuch An forgot how much the emperor doted on the eldest princess, and immediately wanted to slap his own mouth for telling you that you said the wrong thing.
Emperor Mingde snorted, "Let the imperial physician prepare a plaster to remove swelling, remove scars, and relieve pain, and send it to the princess's residence."
"Tell the hospital that if you can't even handle this little thing, go back to farming."
The whole hospital was stunned and did not dare to stop. They discussed it together all night and prepared a plaster and sent it to the princess's house.
…
When Chaohua woke up, she felt like she had lost half her life, and her whole body was in pain. Xiuhe gave her medicine, which made her moan in pain.
Xie Juan was outside, walking around in a hurry, thinking that he couldn't be more gentle?
"Your Majesty, princess, please come in." Xiuhe gave the princess some medicine and came out.
Xie Juan immediately got into the house and asked, "How are you?"
"It hurts so much! Why did my horse suddenly lose control? Someone must be trying to harm me."
"Have you found out who it is?"
Chaohua stood up and leaned on the pillow, her little face was pale, she was frightened by the horse, and was poisoned. Now she lost control of the carriage and almost fell to death. If she hadn't failed the test, she would have died.
Xie Juan looked solemn and sat beside the bed, "I found out that the person who poisoned you is probably a member of the Lin family."
"And you frightened the horse, including the loss of control of the carriage this time. It was not an accident. Someone must have been planning to murder you for a long time."
A few months ago, before the princess got married or moved out of the princess mansion, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Wanru, died in Chaohua Palace.
Because the emperor wanted to protect his daughter, he just punished Chaohua with a grounding, gave the Lin family some compensation, and then had someone announce that Lin Wanru had suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died, and that the cause of death had nothing to do with the princess.
But in fact, everyone believed that Chaohua tortured the person to death.
"I have told you so many times that I did not kill Lin Wanru." Chaohua became angry when he mentioned this. "When she came to my Chaohua Palace, I did intend to teach her a lesson and planned to whip her twice to scare her.
That's fine, but when she arrived in my palace, I was sleeping, so I asked her to kneel down first, and I didn't do anything to her! She suddenly fell down and died."
"She just knelt for more than an hour. She didn't kneel to death, right?"
Xie Juan frowned, "Did you check it carefully at that time?"
"No, I didn't kill anyone, so why investigate?" Chaohua felt irritated, "If it's the Lin family, then send someone to investigate."
"Didn't you say you found clues? Bring out the evidence."
Xie Juan said: "There is no complete evidence. The Lin family was very sad when their daughter died. The emperor deliberately suppressed this matter to preserve your reputation. If you rashly doubt the Lin family, they will definitely cry and complain, and then Lin Wanru's death is related to you.
Things will get worse and worse."
Chaohua understood that no matter what, she would have to bear the reputation of a vicious princess. "No, this matter must be investigated clearly. Even if the Lin family complains, it must be investigated. I cannot take the blame for others for no reason."
"The more you cover it up, the more guilty it seems that I am guilty. I am not afraid of the shadows on this matter. If the Lin family dares to cry and slander me, then they will go to court and get to the bottom of it."
Xie Juan raised his eyebrows, surprised that she would be so transparent, "The princess is right."
Chaohua was angry, his cheeks turned red, "Go find Chu Yue, she knows the truth."
