The daughter of the emperor returned to Beijing and got into trouble with the abstinent prince.

Chapter 49: Domineering Guardian
Concubine Chun arrived late, and when she came in, she saw Yun Qianyi in the crowd at a glance.

"I'm late, why are you standing here? Just sit down and act like you're at home."

Concubine Chun affectionately took Yun Qianyi's arm, brought her to her seat, and ordered the meal to be served.

Yun Qianyi sat next to Concubine Chun, looking at this elegant and graceful woman with a warm, gentle and attentive expression, and her words were full of concern.

Thinking back to the past events that Wen Jingxian had told me.

Concubine Chun's surname is Gu Siyu, and she is a close friend of Yun Qianyi's mother Jiang Shiyi.

At that time, Prime Minister Gu was just a junior official in the Censorate, and the Gu family had no roots in the capital.

Fortunately, Gu Siyu and Jiang Shiyi were good friends, and she received a lot of favors and support from the Jiang family. She also relied on the connections of the Jiang family to gradually gain a foothold in the capital.

But everything was destroyed by the Gu family themselves.

On the second day after the New Year that year, Gu Siyu followed Jiang Shiyi into the palace to pay a visit to Queen Shen. When Jiang Shiyi was playing chess with Queen Shen in the palace, Gu Siyu made an excuse to leave and followed the eunuchs that the Gu family had bribed in the palace in advance, and went directly to the garden near the imperial study.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial edict came down, and the daughter of the Gu family entered the palace, was given the title of Chun, and was granted the position of noble lady.

Since then, Jiang Shiyi never entered the palace again, and the Jiang family and the Yun family also cut off ties with the Gu family.

Yun Qianyi couldn't help but sigh that this imperial concubine was truly the best in green tea!

However, compared to this Green Tea Lady, Yun Qianyi also deducted ten points from Jun Heng.

Can tea be brewed without hot water?
So the full score was 10, and all the marks were deducted directly.

"Jin Huan has gone to accompany his sixth brother in horse training, so he will be here later. Last time I asked him to give you a gift, he even added a few more treasures out of selfishness. Do you like them?"

Yun Qianyi bowed his head and said with gratitude:
"Thank you for your kindness, madam."

I felt indifferent and put it in the warehouse without even opening it.

"Child, except for your looks, you are completely opposite to your mother in other aspects. When Sister Shiyi was your age, she was already a well-known talented woman in the capital. She was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her dancing was like the goddess of Luo River descending to the earth. She once moved the capital with her dance."

Concubine Chun looked at her tenderly, her tone filled with longing for Jiang Shiyi.

"I grew up in Tianqing Gate. The mountains are not like the capital, so I am naturally not as talented as my mother."

Yun Qianyi was chatting with Concubine Chun, and the scene was full of joy.

During the banquet, Wen Jingxian compared the jealousy of these noble ladies. She would rather Yun Qianyi not be favored by Concubine Chun. After all, the relationship between the Gu family and them was really awkward.

"Qianyi, this sweet-scented osmanthus yam cake tastes fresh and sweet, and is most suitable for your girls' taste. Try it."

Yun Qianyi took a bite, and then said against his will:
"I also think it is delicious."

No good person would invite me to dinner without any meat dishes! They were just some ancient diet meals that were not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!
This table is filled with gorgeously presented and exquisitely presented side dishes, and it seems like there is no meat at all. It looks good but is not practical.

Yun Qianyi was very melancholy. She missed the hotpot at Yiyuan, the roasted whole lamb at Caoyuan, and the spicy food at Jun Yanci.

Just as she was concentrating on thinking about the handsome man, no, the delicious food, she suddenly heard the sound of a cup falling on the table.

Yun Qianyi glanced to the side, his pupils shrank slightly, and he reflexively reached out his hand to support Concubine Chun who was about to fall.

The accident happened in just a moment.

"The royal concubine!"

As the palace servants screamed, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

-

half an hour later

The imperial physician looked solemn as he examined the pulse of the unconscious Concubine Chun. Seeing this, Jun Jinhuan asked:

"Doctor Liu, what happened to my mother?"

The doctor Liu who was being questioned stood up respectfully and replied:
"Your Majesty, the Queen's pulse is disordered, and it seems that she is poisoned." Poisoned? Who is so bold as to poison the Imperial Concubine?

"What poison?"

Jun Jinhuan's face suddenly darkened and he asked in a serious tone, but unexpectedly, Doctor Liu began to hesitate.

"Your Highness, I am not sure, but this poison must have been passed close to the body for Your Highness to be infected."

After this was said, everyone at the table was suspected. After all, when Concubine Chun first came in, she passed by all of them. If she was poisoned, then everyone had a chance.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of murdering the Imperial Concubine!"

"I dare not do that either. Your Majesty, please investigate."

The women from noble families who were originally kneeling on the ground now kowtowed and pleaded their innocence, fearing that they would be suspected.

You know, this is a matter of life and death, and if it goes wrong it may even implicate the family.

Amid the panicked voices, Wen Jingxian looked towards Yun Qianyi. She knew that her fourth sister was an excellent doctor, and compared to this confused imperial physician, perhaps Yun Qianyi could understand what was going on.

After noticing his sister-in-law's gaze, Yun Qianyi shook his head calmly.

Just now when she was supporting Concubine Chun, she deliberately held her wrist. Yun Qianyi actually already knew what the poison was and it would not be life-threatening.

But the reason why she kept silent was that combined with the things that happened in recent days, she felt that nothing that happened now could be a coincidence.

To be cautious, it is better to observe the situation before making a decision.

"Just now, Miss Yun was closest to the Imperial Concubine. If someone poisoned her, she would be the most likely suspect!"

Yun Tangqiang Qian's eyes twitched slightly. This little turtle is really smart.

"Today is the first time that my fourth sister is meeting the Imperial Concubine. We have no grudges against each other. Why would you poison her?"

Wen Jingxian glared at the man who had spoken, then raised her arm, placed her right hand on her left hand, and respectfully saluted Jun Jinhuan:
"Please be clear, Your Majesty. I have absolutely no intention of harming the Imperial Concubine."

Jun Jinhuan glanced at the palace maid next to him, and then Concubine Chun's head palace maid stepped forward.

"In that case, please cooperate, ladies. We will search you one by one."

The women here were all daughters of famous families in the capital, and had never been treated so rudely. Several women who wanted to refute were stopped by the older sisters beside them.

Rather than being suspected and becoming the culprit for poisoning the imperial concubine, it is better to endure it and prove your innocence.

Wen Jingxian frowned. In the chaos just now, she had sent Lan Yue away in time.

Watching the palace servants who had already started to search her from the back to the front, she silently held Yun Qianyi's hand, looked at the tent curtain, and held on for a while longer.

Lan Yue was indeed smart. She invited everyone she could, except Yun Han, who was accompanying her aunt in Beijing.

But it was a royal affair, involving the imperial concubine, so Yun Xiuyi, Yun Chengyi, and even the wife of Duke Jiang were stopped outside the tent.

After a while, more and more people came after hearing the news, but no one could get in.

Just when everyone was anxious.

"Everyone, get out of my way!"

Jun Yanci walked very quickly. When he heard the sound, he saw a black shadow rushing past and brushing past everyone.

The suppressed violent emotions suddenly erupted when he saw the scene in front of him.

He quickly took out an arrow from the quiver behind him, drew the bow and shot.

Accurately shot the hand that was about to touch Yun Qianyi.
