The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Chapter 363 Mu Wanqing’s timely help

Xiao Chenyan was noncommittal. Naturally, he would not completely rely on Beixiu Yan. He would personally investigate the person who harmed him. Jun Wu had already secretly investigated according to his instructions and found some clues, but before the final result came out, he did not No announcement was made.

Xiao Chenyan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked pointedly: "Is there anything going on at King Yu's house recently?"

He knew very well that with King Yu's character, he would never be able to just stay at home and think about his mistakes.

Mu Wanqing understood immediately. She glanced around to make sure there were no outsiders, and then said carefully: "I came here today just to tell the prince about this matter. King Yu and his adviser Shangguan Yu had been plotting in the study for a long time a while ago. .The prince's poisoning may be related to them. I'm about to search the house to see if I can find an antidote for the prince. If the murderer behind the scenes is really Prince Yu, then he must have the antidote. .”

Concubine De was overjoyed after hearing this. She felt that Mu Wanqing was very in line with her wishes no matter what she said or did, so she kept praising her.

"Wanqing is really gentle, kind, smart and capable. She and Chen Yan grew up together since childhood. No one can compare to our childhood friendship."

"Chen Yan was naughty and always reckless when he was a child. Wanqing was the one who tried to persuade him several times, and he avoided many troubles. I remember one time, there was an assassination incident in the palace. Chen Yan was only a teenager at the time, and he had a tough temperament. He was about to follow the guards to catch the assassin, but was accidentally injured by the assassin and kicked into the lake in the Imperial Garden. If Wanqing hadn't noticed it with sharp eyes and called for help, Chen Yan would have been dead long ago, and how could he be here today. Wanqing But he is our savior."

Mu Wanqing blushed at the praise, and following Concubine De's words, she recalled many things from her childhood. At that time, she and Xiao Chenyan were childhood sweethearts, and the time they spent together was indeed very happy.

The young man who was not taken seriously at that time is now a popular prince in the court. How could she not like him.

Mu Wanqing looked at Xiao Chenyan lovingly, with unconcealable lingering nostalgia in her eyes.

Concubine De liked Mu Wanqing more and more when she saw her. She caressed her soft and boneless hand affectionately and continued: "You have always helped us when you were a child. Now that you are married, you still think about us in everything. You are such a great person." A good girl who values ​​​​love and justice. It’s just a pity that Chen Yan is not lucky enough to marry you as his princess. It’s fate.”

"Wanqing did pay a lot for me." Bits and pieces of the past came to mind, and Xiao Chenyan was also full of gratitude to Mu Wanqing.

However, now that he has become more mature and has his own power in the court, he is unwilling to let Mu Wanqing take risks as a woman.

"The poisoning was most likely done by King Yu. Since he did it, he wanted to kill me. The place where the antidote is stored cannot be unprotected. If you go to find it, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. .”

Hearing the concern in the other person's words, a warm current flowed through Mu Wanqing's heart. All these years of planning were finally not in vain.

Her slender fingers brushed the falling black hair on the side of her face behind her ears, revealing her delicate and pretty face, and her voice was gentle and sweet.

"Although I am married to King Yu, I am willing to do whatever King Wucheng asks me to do as long as he needs it. What's more, this matter is related to King Wucheng's life. Even if I am shattered into pieces, I will find the antidote for him. .”

Mu Wanqing's eyes were firm, and her vow-like words really touched people's hearts.

Concubine De was so moved when she heard this that she couldn't help but burst into tears, "She is such a good girl. She is kind and righteous, unlike some people who are used to doing things to take advantage of others' danger and seek personal revenge."

Although Concubine De did not name her, everyone knew who she was talking about.

Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but compare Shen Ruzhou and Mu Wanqing.No matter when, Mu Wanqing was always considerate and tried his best to help her, while Shen Ruzhou would only complain about his favoritism from the beginning to the end. Even though he had some ability to treat patients and save people, he would always negotiate terms with him and be unforgiving in everything he did. , which man would like such a woman.

"Wanqing, you must take care of yourself and don't take risks easily. I will keep everything you do for me in mind and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Mu Wanqing nodded meekly, and if she could get Xiao Chenyan's promise, this trip would not be in vain.

"I can't stay long, so I'm leaving now. King Wu Cheng is recovering from his illness. Wanqing will come to visit another day." Mu Wanqing stood up, bowed and left.

After leaving the side hall and seeing no one around, her personal maid Qiu Ying asked in a low voice: "Miss, didn't you bring the antidote with you? Why didn't you give it to King Wu Cheng."

Mu Wanqing turned around with a smile on her face and raised the corners of her mouth, as if she was determined to win, "King Wu Cheng is no longer in danger, what's the use of taking out the antidote now?"

"After all, there are always icings on the cake, but it is rare to provide help in times of need."

Qiu Ying muttered Mu Wanqing's words repeatedly and nodded in understanding.

In the side hall, Xiao Chenyan excused himself to take a rest and asked Concubine De to go back first.He leaned against the couch and closed his eyes, recalling the events before and after the poisoning in detail.

At this time, Jun Wu walked in and reported the results of the two days of investigation. "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, my subordinates carefully checked the dead men trained by Prince Yu. One of them was the most suspicious. I found this thing in his home."

Jun Wu said, taking out a box and presenting it to Xiao Chenyan.

Xiao Chenyan opened the box and saw the contents inside. His pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was filled with shock.

King Yu really spent a lot of money this time.

Immediately, Xiao Chenyan curled his lips and sneered, staring at the contents of the box with a pair of phoenix eyes, which was very cold.

He slowly raised his hand to cover the box, stroking the exquisite and intricate patterns on the box with his slender fingers, "This is a good thing, Jun Wu, you have done a great job."

When Shen Ruzhou returned home, he felt physically and mentally exhausted and fell asleep on the bed.As soon as it dawned the next day, she immediately got up and washed up, thinking that she would have to go to the Regent's Palace to treat Bei Xiuyan in the morning, and then she would have to go to the palace to detoxify Xiao Chenyan. She was so busy with her schedule that she really had no time to spare.

The carriage quickly arrived at the Regent's Palace. Shen Ruzhou picked up the medicine box and followed Qin Ming to Beixiu Yan's study.

In front of the writing desk, Bei Xiuyan wore a green robe and sat upright. He looked at the writing papers sent from various places attentively. The picture seemed to be still, only the green bamboo outside the window made a rustling sound when the wind blew.

Shen Ruzhou stepped forward and saluted, "Prince Regent, I'm here to perform acupuncture on you."
