Chapter 1094 Ending Future Troubles


    Jun Chang''an nned to return Han Jingshu''s handkerchief. Ever since he picked up her handkerchief that day, he had never had a chance to return it to her. It was not good to hand it over to Yan Huaijing directly. Otherwise, how would he exin it when Yan Huaijing asked?


    Said that your woman wanted to throw herself into the river, but I stopped her? Or, she begged me not to tell you, so I really hid it from you?


    He did not want to get involved in the matters of the husband and wife. His duty was to protect Yan Huaijing''s safety and listen to his orders. However, this did not includepletely limiting his personal freedom. Everything he reported to Yan Huaijing was what he felt that it was necessary to let Yan Huaijing know, not that he had no choice but to report those things.


    Jun Chang''an knew Yan Huaijing''s whereabouts and knew that he was handling official business in the study. He took this opportunity to look for Han Jingshu. However, when Jun Chang''an passed by a small garden, he heard an unusual sound.


    rm bells rang in his heart as he used his qinggong to rush over. He vaguely saw a figure quickly slipping into the night. He nned to chase after him, but he saw Han Jingshu lying in the grass.


    Han Jingshu''s clothes were considered conspicuous in the Prince Manor, so even in the dark, she was like a shining pearl. Jun Chang''an looked in the direction where the person had fled and frowned. In the end, he did not chase after him.


    "Crown Princess Consort!" Jun Chang''an squatted down and called out to her fruitlessly. He reached out his fingertip and touched the artery on Han Jingshu''s neck. He just wanted to see if she still had her pulse and body temperature, but his skin was as soft as warm jade, making him suddenly retract it as if he had been electrocuted!


    Of course, Han Jingshu still had a pulse, but her condition was not good. Under the moonlight, her forehead was ck and her lips were ck. Jun Chang''an looked at her fingers again, and a hint of ck and blue appeared on her nails.


    This was a sign of poisoning!


    "Sorry, Crown Princess Consort!" Jun Chang''an knelt on one knee and reached out to circle around Han Jingshu''s back and knees to pick her up.


    The Crown Princess Consort, who was usually dressed in luxurious clothes and had a pearl hairpin, was almost light in his arms. This woman… had never eaten properly? Why was she so light?


    This thought shed through his mind. Then, Jun Chang''an no longer had any distracting thoughts. He carried Han Jingshu towards the matriarch''s courtyard.


    He was Yan Huaijing''s guard, so this method was actually a little rude. He should call a eunuch or a maidservant over and send Han Jingshu back to her courtyard, but Han Jingshu had been poisoned. He was not sure if that person had gone far. If that person was still hiding in the manor and did something to Han Jingshu after he left, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    In terms of Han Jingshu''s reputation and safety, Jun Chang''an chose thetter. After he sent Han Jingshu back to the courtyard, he immediately informed Yan Huaijing.


    Yan Huaijing still cared about Han Jingshu. As for whether this care came from feelings or from the interests of the royal court, no one knew.


    "What happened? How did this happen?" Yan Huaijing sat by the bed Lu''er.


    Lu''er had just finished delivering the ginseng soup to Yan Huaijing, but her young miss did not arrive, so she went back to look for her. Just as she entered the courtyard, she saw Jun Chang''an carrying her young miss in.


    Lu''er was frightened and said, "I don''t know either… I went to deliver the ginseng soup to His Highness…"


    Yan Huaijing said coldly, "How can you leave your master alone outside?"


    "It''s… it''s the Crown Princess Consort who instructed me to deliver the ginseng soup to His Highness first. Her Highness said… she still had something to give to His Highness, but she left it in her room. She went to get it herself and didn''t let me apany her…" Lu''er said fearfully. If she had known that the Crown Princess Consort would be harmed, she wouldn''t have left the Crown Princess Consort alone no matter what.


    Yan Huaijing''s expression did not improve because of her exnation.


    Jun Chang''an said, "Forget it, she''s just a powerless maidservant. It''s useless even if she was by Her Highness'' side at that time."


    "Where''s the imperial physician?" Yan Huaijing asked coldly.


    As soon as he finished speaking, a steward eunuch hurried in with the imperial physician. The imperial physician was about to bow to Yan Huaijing when Yan Huaijing raised his hand. "No need. Hurry up and take a look at the Crown Princess Consort!"


    "Yes!" The imperial physician walked over with the medicine box and ced a clean handkerchief on Han Jingshu''s wrist to carefully take her pulse.


    Looking at his actions of avoiding arousing suspicion when taking his pulse, Jun Chang''an thought of his presumption towards Han Jingshu just now. He looked at the solemn Yan Huaijing. Fortunately, Yan Huaijing was quite clear about this. Saving people was more important, so he did not ask about anything else.


    After the imperial physician took his pulse, his expression did not look right. "I need to seek a further checkup." He asked Yan Huaijing.


    Yan Huaijing nodded.


    Lu''er tactfully brought the servants out of the room. The imperial physician checked Han Jingshu''s fingers, forehead, and pupils. He even rolled up her sleeve and looked at her arm.


    See no evil. Jun Chang''an hurriedly turned his head and turned his face to the side. If he went deeper, it would not be good for the imperial physician to see for himself, so he said to Yan Huaijing, "Your Highness, please unbutton the Crown Princess Consort''s shirt and see if there are bruises on her chest."


    "I''ll leave first," Jun Chang''an said.


    "Okay." Yan Huaijing nodded.


    Jun Chang''an left the room expressionlessly. He guarded outside the house. Even if he didn''t see it with his own eyes, his hearing was extremely good. He heard the sound of his buttons being unbuttoned and her clothes falling off. He took a deep breath and looked at the moon high in the night sky.


    "There is," Yan Huaijing said.


    The imperial physician said, "I must venture to specte that the Crown Princess Consort has probably been poisoned by a Gu poison."


    "Do you have a way to resolve it?"


    The imperial physician cupped his hands and bowed. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I can''t resolve it."


    Yan Huaijing was not a tyrant. He did not say that he wanted him to die with the Crown Princess Consort if she could not be cured. He allowed the imperial physician to leave. A momentter, he came out of Han Jingshu''s room and instructed Lu''er, "Go and inform the Prime Minister Manor that the Crown Princess Consort is sick."


    "Yes," Lu''er agreed in a choked voice and turned to deliver the news to the Prime Minister Manor.


    There was no need to hide this matter from the Prime Minister Manor. Of course, he would do his best to save Han Jingshu, but if anything happened… He was saying what if. At the very least, he should let Han Jingshu''s familye and see her onest time.


    "Crown Prince." Jun Chang''an looked at him.


    "What was the situation when you arrived at the event location?"


    The ce where Han Jingshu''s ident happened was near her own courtyard. Logically speaking, Jun Chang''an shouldn''t have appeared there. Jun Chang''an couldn''t tell Yan Huaijing that he had something on with Han Jingshu, so he passed by.


    He deliberated over his words and said, "On the way back to the courtyard, I heard amotion and followed all the way. In the end, I saw a ck shadow. From the figure, it should be a man. He probably discovered me and abandoned the Crown Princess Consort before I appeared."


    Yan Huaijing said thoughtfully, "An assassin actually infiltrated the manor? But why did he poison the Crown Princess Consort? Did he want to destroy my alliance with the Prime Minister Manor? Did Yan Jiuchao do it? Or the Empress?"


    Jun Chang''an thought for a while and said, "I''m afraid the Empress doesn''t have the strength yet. As for Yan Jiuchao, I don''t think there''s a need for him to do that."


    Yan Jiuchao was already firmly in the position of Regent. In terms of power, he had already crushed the Prime Minister Manor and Yan Huaijing. Why did he have to deal with Han Jingshu?


    There was one more thing that Jun Chang''an did not say. Yan Jiuchao was a little crazy, but he could not do such a thing that disregarded human life. It was not that he could not bear it, but he was disdainful.


    Jun Chang''an said, "Could it be… the other party poisoned the Crown Princess Consort to threaten the Crown Prince?" This was the greatest possibility. Yan Huaijing would not ignore Han Jingshu''s life and death, so he would definitely pay an unimaginable price for the antidote.


    Yan Huaijing also thought about the possibility of this and agreed with Jun Chang''an''s guess. However, he suddenly thought of something and asked Jun Chang''an, "Did you notice what Lu''er said just now?"


    Jun Chang''an thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness, are you referring to the Crown Princess Consort returning to the courtyard to retrieve something?"


    Yan Huaijing looked in the direction of the arched bridge and said slowly, "From the arched bridge to her courtyard, she would walk east, but the small garden is in the west. In other words, unless she took a detour, she wouldn''t have passed by the small garden."


    Jun Chang''an frowned. "Your Highness, you mean… the Crown Princess Consort was brought to the small garden?"


    Yan Huaijing sighed. "I''m just guessing. It might be a sudden thought that she wants to go to the small garden to pick some flowers or something."


    Pick flowers? I''m afraid that woman would only pretend to be ady and virtuous in front of Yan Huaijing, right? She was a jerk to the core. Jun Chang''an was certain that she would not like to pick flowers.


    In that case, her behavior in the small garden seemed very strange.


    Jun Chang''an pondered for a moment and said, "If… I mean if she was brought to the small garden. Then it seems that that person chose to secretly harm her in the small garden. Does he still choose a ce to poison her? Where did he poison her? Unless… that person never thought of poisoning the Crown Princess Consort in the beginning."


    Yan Huaijing frowned. "Then he wants…"


    "To kill the Crown Princess Consort!" Jun Chang''an said.


    Yan Huaijing''s pupils constricted!


    Jun Chang''an continued, "And disguised himself as the Crown Princess Consort who suicided or lost her footing and fell to her death."


    There were pavilions and steps in the small garden. It was not impossible to fall and bleed to death.


    This was only Jun Chang''an''s guess, but Yan Huaijing felt that the possibility of it was higher than the first. "In that case, we can eliminate the possibility that they used the Crown Princess Consort to threaten me. They want to kill the Crown Princess Consort, but why would they do that? Who are they?"
