Chapter 673: Overturned

He attributed such strange things to cause and effect.

But how could the nanny tell him about this? Seeing that she didn't say anything, the prince looked at his mother who had her eyes closed on the bed, and walked away with a sullen face.

The next day, after the old princess woke up, she ignored the pain in her eyes and immediately conspired with the nanny to implement the plan of getting rid of the mother and keeping the son.

She attributed all of this to Yuehua, saying that she was not only a rude country woman who could not give birth to a boy, but also a jinx who must be eliminated.

Only if she died would she be fine.

Their conspiracy was known to Qin Yue, and her expression became even more gloomy.

After the couple had a good rest and breakfast, they once again disappeared into the room where Yuehua was.

At this time, the young couple had already gotten up and were preparing to go to the east wing to call their daughter to go and pay their respects to the old princess.

Yuehua's daughter lived in the same courtyard with them. This was Yuehua's idea. Ever since she knew that the old princess disliked her, she took care of her daughter herself and never let her leave her side.

Because she had read too many storybooks, and there were too many dark and dirty things in the mansion, and she didn't want her daughter to be hurt because of herself.

The reason she endured here was simply because she loved her husband and was willing to sacrifice for him.

The family of three paid their respects to Old Wang and originally wanted to come back and have dinner in their own courtyard, but it was rare that the old lady, with dark circles under her eyes, invited them to have dinner together.

Yuehua felt it was a little strange, but since the prince agreed, she didn't say anything else.

She and her daughter sat down obediently and watched the old lady pick up the chopsticks before others started eating. Soon, the dishes, soup, and staple food were served. Even the prince was very surprised because he never had chicken soup in the morning before, but today he had it.

Each person still has one bowl, and the bowls used are also very exquisite.

But he didn't say anything. He whispered to Yuehua and his daughter, "I'll take you out for a walk after dinner. I heard that the scenery in Xiaowai is nice."

"it is good!"

Faced with the interaction between the three members of this family, the old princess suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth, but on the surface she remained normal.

When Yuehua picked up the bowl and put it to her lips, a strange smell came into her nose. She immediately put down the bowl, glanced at the old princess, and then said to her husband.

"Brother Qi, someone put drugs in this bowl."

"medicine?"

"Yes, it is the drug that killed me."

The prince's face darkened, and he immediately shouted to the people outside: "Send someone to the palace to invite the royal physician and catch a mouse."

Yuehua added, "Let me go to my room and get the incense I usually light."

Xiu Qi asked in confusion, "Huh? What are you holding the incense for?"

Yuehua smiled and said, "Just wait and see."

The old princess, who was thought to have no flaws, now had a green face. She bit her lip and made up her mind that even if she was exposed, she would not admit it. Even if there was medicine in the chicken soup, it was not poison. What could she do to her?
Having made up her mind, the old princess's face returned to normal.

He shouted at Yuehua unhappily: "How dare you! I am already a very old princess, devoted to Buddhism, how can I harm you?"

Yuehua said softly: "I don't know if it's harmful or not, but my mother-in-law always finds fault with me. No matter what I say, I can't get into her eyes."

"Then just give birth. If you give birth to more boys, will I still have a problem with you?"

"I don't want to have a baby, and I don't want to have one."

"Hmph, I see you don't want to give birth to a son for me. Others have sons to carry on the family line, what about you? What have you done for my Xiuqi? And you keep saying you love him. What a bullshit."

The old princess didn't care about her image and started cursing loudly.

Yuehua took a deep breath and said slowly, "I don't care how you treated me in the past, but you should never kill me. Do you want to kill me and save my son? Or do you want me and my daughter to die together?"

"You, you vicious woman, you actually thought so badly of this princess. You, you are not a human being." Xiuqi closed his eyes. He stood between his mother and daughter-in-law, feeling torn. However, he knew that poisoning someone was a big deal. He thought about it and immediately stood on Yuehua's side.

"Mother, I know you don't like my wife, but this is the woman I like. I hope you will love her and stop doing the wrong thing again."

The old princess stood up suddenly and pointed at Xiuqi.

"You are just like her, you are unfilial. I will report this to His Majesty."

Xiu Qi's eyes turned cold. "Mother, if you want to ask His Majesty to remove my title of prince, go ahead. I don't care about it anyway. It's just right that without this, my family of three can go traveling together."

"You, you are going to piss me off to death."

Looking at his mother's hideous face, Xiuqi's heart sank, and he felt that she was trying to cover up something.

Just then, the imperial physician arrived. He first bowed to the people in the room, and Xiuqi pointed to the bowl of soup and said.

"Look at this, there's something unusual in it."

The imperial physician walked forward, picked up the soup bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and then smelled it. He frowned, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, there are medicines added to this soup. They seem to be good for your health. However, I cannot explain why. I can only say that you will be fine after drinking this bowl of soup."

Xiuqi frowned, and at this moment, the mouse also came over. Xiuqi immediately put the bowl of soup into the cage.

When the mouse smelled the scent, it immediately ran over and licked it.

Xiuqi stared at the mouse intently. After eating half a bowl of soup, the mouse showed no reaction, but began to jump around.

Just as he was about to speak, the incense was taken out.

Xiuqi was not in a hurry to light incense, but asked the imperial physician to check all the soup bowls in front of everyone.

"Are all soups the same as the princess's soup?"

"No, it seems that only the princess's soup is like this, and others are not."

There was a storm brewing in Xiuqi's eyes.

He then lit the incense and stuck it on the cage.

As soon as it was inserted, the mouse, which was originally full of life, immediately became wilted. It lay in the cage motionless. After a while, it tilted its head, its four legs facing up, and turned upside down, dead!
When Xiuqi saw this, he slammed the table hard and glared at the old princess coldly.

He knew very well that no one else could do such a thing except his mother. It was she who ordered the people around her to poison him.

"Mother, you don't need to explain what happened. The soup is fine. I drank it here. You can stay out of it. But if my wife smells the fragrance when she returns to the room, she will be poisoned and die within half an hour. Mother, you are so cruel."

The old princess snorted coldly: "What are you talking about? This princess doesn't know and doesn't understand. This soup was made in the kitchen. I made it for her specially. It's just to nourish her body so that she can give you a son. As for others, this princess knows nothing. Don't talk nonsense."

"Well, since mother doesn't care about you, then your son won't care about you either."

After saying that, he took one of them by the hand, stood up and left.

Yuehua watched this calmly. When she saw her mother-in-law wanted to kill her, her heart turned cold. But when she saw her husband protecting her so much, her heart warmed up again.

As long as he never leaves her and stays with her for the rest of her life, she is willing to be a housewife for him.

The old princess' eyes widened with anger. She immediately pulled out a pair of scissors from under the table and looked at Xiuqi coldly.

"If you are my son, and if you don't love me as your mother, you should divorce her and marry a daughter from a prominent family to continue the family line. Otherwise..."

She actually poked the scissors into the flesh, and blood started flowing out.

Xiuqi opened his mouth and wanted to rush over to snatch her scissors, but he didn't expect that the old princess was so cruel and pushed the scissors towards Chen again.

The blood just keeps flowing!
