Chapter 213 Poisoning
Chapter 213 Poisoning
Today is Princess Ning'an's welcome banquet. As soon as Ning'an arrived, everyone looked over and naturally noticed Ye Wanning next to her.
Faced with numerous gazes, Ye Wanning did not want to be the center of attention, so she quietly stepped aside. However, after taking only two steps, she suddenly felt dizzy and vomited blood.
"Wanning!"
Ning An frowned and looked over. "Quickly, someone go find the imperial physician!"
At this moment, Xie Bohuai rushed over, picked up Ye Wanning, and carried her to the side hall. "Summon the imperial physician! If anything happens to my wife and child, I will make the entire Imperial Medical Academy pay with their lives!"
In the side hall, Ye Wanning clutched her stomach. Since entering the palace, she had only taken a sip of tea from Princess Ning'an.
what happened?
Who wants to harm her?
Princess Ning'an?
That's impossible. What benefit would Princess Ning'an gain from poisoning her at a time like this?
Ye Wanning desperately wanted to know the reason, but she was terrified that something might happen to her. She held Xie Bohuai's hand tightly, "Le... Brother Le..." This was the person she couldn't let go of the most.
"You'll be alright, you'll definitely be alright, don't speak, the imperial physician is here." Xie Bohuai was trembling all over. He held Ye Wanning's hand tightly, watching the imperial physician take her pulse and perform acupuncture. "You must save the child, you must!"
"Lord Xie, the lady seems to have been poisoned by snake venom. What has she eaten?" The imperial physician sent someone to fetch the antidote.
Princess Ning'an, who was standing nearby, said that she had drunk a sip of tea from her, and the imperial physician sent someone to find the teacup, but the teacup had been thrown away.
"Find it! Things can't just disappear into thin air! Everyone, go find it!" Xie Bohuai roared. "Find it even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
He looked at Ning An with such hatred that he wanted to pierce her with his eyes.
"It wasn't me." Ning An shook her head vigorously. She wouldn't be so stupid as to harm Ye Wanning at this time; it wouldn't do her any good.
Xie Bohuai continued to stare at Ning An until the Emperor and Empress arrived.
Princess Xihe rushed over and asked what happened.
The Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
The Empress came over to comfort him, "Lord Xie, don't worry. I will have the best medicine prepared for you and your child. We will definitely protect you and your wife."
Xie Bohuai didn't speak, nor did he look at the Empress; he held Ye Wanning's hand tightly.
That night, Xie Bohuai stayed by Ye Wanning's side the whole time.
The palace banquet ended unhappily, and everyone knew that Madam Xie had been poisoned by Princess Ning'an's tea.
The news spread throughout the capital's elite overnight.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Ye Wanyu hurriedly led her people to the Ye family home. The gatekeeper was surprised to see her, but she didn't bother to have anyone announce her arrival and went straight to the main house.
"Big Brother!" Ye Wanyu's voice surprised Ye Mingde and his wife inside the house.
"Why is Wanyu here at this hour?" Lin Shi had just finished dressing when she heard her sister-in-law's anxious voice, and she had a bad feeling.
Ye Mingde was equally puzzled. He opened the door, but before anyone could enter, Ye Wanyu exclaimed, "Something terrible has happened! Yesterday, my eldest sister was poisoned at the palace banquet!"
"What?" Madam Lin's heart skipped a beat. She didn't have an official title and couldn't attend the palace banquet, so she didn't know what happened there. "Wanyu, are you serious? How could someone poison someone at the palace banquet? Who would be so tired of living?"
Ye Wanyu's eyes reddened. "I don't know anything about Wenming. My mother-in-law told me. I couldn't sleep all night. I went out before dawn this morning, but when I got to the Xie family, I didn't see my eldest sister and brother-in-law. So I had to run back to tell you."
Ye Mingde frowned deeply, "How is your eldest sister?"
Ye Wanyu shook her head and said she didn't know. "I don't know. I didn't go to the palace banquet; my mother-in-law went. Brother, what do we do now?"
Mrs. Lin was already crying. "How could this happen?" What if... She didn't dare to think about that "what if," just thinking about it made her legs go weak.
"I'm going to the palace. Don't panic at home. Don't tell Grandmother yet; she's too old to bear worrying and being afraid." Ye Mingde took a deep breath, not wanting to wait even a moment, and led his men to the palace.
