Chapter 302 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas, The Oriole Behind ([-])

After breakfast, it was Yan Jingshen who ordered Situ Liu and the others to go back to their room to rest.

Ordinarily, they should have slept at least until the afternoon, but when they suddenly appeared at this time, it was obvious that something very urgent had happened.

Yan Jingshen took a few steps forward: "Is there something wrong with the empress?"

Situ Liu hurriedly told what happened.

It turned out that Xia Yueliang had someone deliver breakfast to them early this morning, and arranged for people to deliver letters to the capital.

Guessing that Xia Fanshuang should have woken up, she took Chun Zhuo and Ming Jia to her yard.

After resting all night, Xia Fanshuang recovered a lot. After the two sisters talked for a while, she asked someone to hug the little prince.

Not long after, the wet nurse Yin came with her baby in her arms, but the sisters Pujina and Sanna were not there.

Xia Fanshuang didn't think much about it either, after all, the two of them were also getting old, and it was appropriate to take a good rest after being tired.

Moreover, Yin Shi is her companion, so she is naturally more reliable than others.

However, when she took the little swaddle from Yin's hand and opened it, she was stunned.

The baby picture embroidered by the mother is correct, and the weight of the child is about the same, but the red face has become white and tender, and the eyes are round and round. It is definitely not a newborn baby, let alone her and Li Yuanyu's son.

Xia Fanshuang felt dizzy for a while, and the child in her hand almost slipped.

"Shuang'er—"

"Second sister—"

Li Yuanyu supported his wife, while Xia Yueliang quickly took over the baby.

Seeing the little baby's face clearly, she understood everything in an instant.

Her little nephew was dropped!

Just as he was about to attack, there was a sudden thud behind him, and the wet nurse Yin Shi fell heavily to the ground, with foul-smelling black blood flowing from her mouth and nose, and she had no breath.

"Dead?" Yan Jingshen frowned and clenched his fists.

Situ Liu nodded: "Yes, the wet nurse died on the spot, after careful inspection, she found that she had poison hidden in her teeth, and died after biting her tongue.

And that child, it is said that it is a half-month-old baby girl. "

"What did King Yasu say?" Yan Jingshen asked.

"My lord has already sent people to search the nurse's room, and I believe there will be results soon.

It was he who sent his subordinates to look for the young master, please go to his study as soon as possible. "

"I heard that the wet nurse is the concubine of the empress, where is her home?"

Although the customs of Yasu City are very different from Fengguo, there are still many rules in the palace.

Xia Fanshuang's companions are male and female, so it is inconvenient to live in the palace, that's why Yan Jingshen asked this question.

Situ Liu said: "There is a big house outside the northwest corner of the palace, where the queen's concubine's companions live. Just now, King Yasu has ordered people to surround the house."

Yan Jingshen said: "You go and call Shang Duanmuyang, and bring a few thoughtful people to search the house carefully, especially the nurse's house, you must not miss any corner."

"Yes." Situ Liu clasped his fists together, turned and left.

Yan Jingshen took the dozen or so palace guards to Li Yuanyu's study.

At this time, Li Yuanyu is like an ant on a hot pot, the joy of being a father for the first time has long since disappeared without a trace.

"Jingshen, you are here." He grabbed Yan Jingshen's wrist.

"Brother Yuan Yu, don't be in a hurry, the more you need to be calm at this time."

Li Yuanyu's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.

"That fellow Gu Yannan is really too ruthless, the child is less than a day old, yet he managed to do it!"

Yan Jingshen patted him on the shoulder with the other hand: "Gu Yannan put so much thought into it, it's definitely not just to get revenge on your husband and wife.

The little prince is his bargaining chip, and he must have other plans.So before he achieves his goal, he will definitely take good care of the little prince. "

Li Yuanyu said in a hoarse voice: "The third younger sister just said the same thing, but the child is too young, how can she stand up to it..."

Yan Jingshen was also a father, and he knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would be very pale and would not be able to comfort him at all.

"How is the Queen doing now?" He could only ask.

"Shuang'er fainted when she saw the child was dropped, and the imperial doctors said she was in a hurry.

It's just that she just gave birth, and her body is too worn out, so it will be more difficult to recover. "

"Brother Yuan Yu's condition is not very good, please sit down and rest for a while."

Li Yuanyu let go of his hands, covered his face and squatted on the ground.

Yan Jingshen has known him not long ago, but he still knows him very well.

The men in Yasu City are martial arts, and their personalities are much stronger than most men in Fengguo.

Li Yuanyu, who is King Yasu, is the best among them, and of course he will not be a weak person.

Moreover, he experienced many hardships when he was young, and he was by no means easily knocked down.

But at this moment, he looked so fragile, as if he was about to shatter soon.

"My lord, Pujina and Sanna are awake!" A guard replied outside the study.

Li Yuanyu stood up abruptly, and walked out of the study in two or three steps.

"Did they say anything?" He grabbed the guard's arm.

"Both of them were drugged, and Sanna's condition was more serious, and she still can't speak until now.

Pugina was a little better, and said that the sisters had a cup of tea there last night after delivering the little prince to the nurse.

After returning to the room, the two took a rest, who knew that things would become so bad after waking up. "

Li Yuanyu thought for a while, and said to Yan Jingshen behind him, "Jingshen, what do you think about their being poisoned?"

Yan Jingshen said: "The wet nurse committed suicide by taking poison herself, because she knew that she would definitely not survive after the incident happened.

But I heard that Pujina and Sanna's residence was personally arranged by Brother Yuan Yu, and they did not live with the wet nurse.

In other words, if the wet nurse wants to do something wrong, those two don't get in the way of her at all, so why does she want to drug them?

"This..." Li Yuanyu stroked his chin and said to the guard: "Immediately lock up Pujina and Sanna and keep them under strict watch. Also, send some people to watch over their house, and no one is allowed. Half a step away from home."

"Yes." The guard didn't dare to ask further questions, and turned to leave.

Li Yuanyu sighed: "Jing Shen, am I too soft-hearted that these people have no fear and dare to do anything."

Yan Jingshen said: "You can't say that, people die for money and birds die for food, those people will not be honest just because the master is strict.

Think about that wet nurse, she is the concubine of the empress, the serious Xia family, didn't she also betray the master? "

While talking, someone came back to answer.

"Go back to the prince and the second son, there is a secret passage under the bed in Yin's room."

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Li Yuanyu pulled Yan Jingshen up, and the two went to the harem together.

After a while, they came to the nurse's house.

This place was originally prepared for the little prince's room. It not only occupies a large area, but is also very delicately and luxuriously furnished.
