When Mrs. Zhao fell to the ground, her face turned red suddenly, and she couldn't help crying with "Yinxuan" in her mouth, and the next moment she began to vomit blood, and her body also convulsed.
"Mrs. Zhao!"
Tang Ning was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the person.
She took advantage of the situation to wipe her blood to cover her up, and stuffed something into Mrs. Zhao's mouth, and Mrs. Zhao buried it in her arms and swallowed it quickly.
Emperor An was taken aback: "Imperial Doctor Yuan!! ”
When Imperial Physician Yuan stepped forward, he saw that Tang Ning's clothes were stained red with blood, and Mrs. Zhao's lips were also black, and he hurriedly said, "It's not good, Mrs. Zhao's body is poisonous." Your Majesty, Weichen must detoxify her immediately, otherwise Mrs. Zhao's life will be lost! ”
Emperor An had a calm face "Come on, carry Mrs. Zhao down, so that she can be healed, and her life will be saved!" ”
After Imperial Physician Yuan received the order, Yu Yanfeng hurriedly ordered someone to carefully carry Mrs. Zhao to the side hall.
The crowd was chaotic, the hustle and bustle dispersed, and the large blood stain in the temple was terrifying.
Tang Ning stood in the hall with blood stained on his clothes in front of him, looking at a loss.
Zhao Yuanlang had several deep blood marks on his face, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed regardless of the pain.
"Your Majesty, I have never met any member of the Lu family. I don't know why Yue Shi is talking nonsense. Everything she said is false. How could I possibly harm my own daughter?"
Old Madam Zhao also knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Yue Shi* had a cold last night, and the government doctor also used medicine for her, the courtiers really don't know why she made up these things to wronged us, and how could the Zhao family let her escape if they wanted to kill her?"
She glared at Tang Ning hatefully "Yue Shi was obviously coaxed, and someone deliberately harmed our Zhao family because they wanted to relieve others."
"Old Madam Zhao means something, is she saying that the county lord of Xiangning has coaxed Mrs. Zhao?"
Cui Lin stood aside and gloated, anyway, no matter whether the Zhao family and the Lu family were unlucky, or Xiao was unlucky, he was happy to see it.
Tang Ning's eyes widened and his face was stunned: "Me? How did I deceive Mrs. Zhao? I didn't know that someone would assassinate the fourth princess. ”
She then looked up at Andy with some annoyance.
"Your Majesty, after the opening of Rongsheng Academy, I will go to the academy every day to study, and the gentlemen in the academy can testify, today is the day of the academy's small exam, I passed early in the morning, and after answering the paper with the students of the academy, I also chatted with Mr. Tong for a long time before leaving."
"During this time, my brother had a bad appetite because he took too much medicine, I originally wanted to go to Xijue House in the west of the city to buy some snacks for him to eat, but who knew that I met Mrs. Zhao at the entrance of Fengxiang Street, she was in disarray at that time, so I took her into the carriage, and who knows that I didn't go far before I met the people who chased her."
"Although those people were not in the city when they started, there were many shops around, and some of them must have seen this, and my maids and guards were seriously injured to protect us, forcing those people to flee, I noticed that something was wrong and took Mrs. Zhao directly to the palace."
Yu Yanfeng stood aside and spoke: "When Weichen met the county lord of Xiangning, she was taking Mrs. Zhao to the palace full of embarrassment and wanted to enter the palace to see His Majesty, and the people around the county lord of Xiangning were indeed injured. ”
Tang Ning seemed relieved when he saw that Yu Yanfeng was willing to tell the truth, and then glared at Old Madam Zhao and said angrily:
"I have a grudge against the fourth princess, but why do I want her life, besides, I have met Mrs. Zhao twice, and the last time she came to cry and begged me to spare the fourth princess, she was directly blocked by my aunt, and she didn't even enter the gate of Tang Mansion."
"The Fourth Princess wanted to harm me, but later I exposed her calculations to put her in prison, Madam Zhao is not crazy, why did she help the enemies of the fourth princess to harm your Zhao family."
"You don't want to think about what you've done to make her frightened, but you want to wronged me, it's just inexplicable!"
Tang Ning was like a little girl who had been wronged, her face was red with anger when she spoke, and her eyes were full of anger.
Cao Dejiang's eyes flashed slightly when he saw her jumping to her feet in anger, and said
"Your Majesty, what the county lord of Xiangning said can be verified by people, whether Mrs. Zhao was hunted down and killed, and when she was rescued by the county lord, it can be checked, but the old ministers on the Zhao family's side are a little confused."
"Listen to Mrs. Zhao's meaning, after the accident of the fourth princess, the Zhao family did not ask except her, thinking that they were afraid of being implicated in her notoriety, but Mrs. Zhao suddenly entered the palace this morning and cried, and after His Majesty mercifully let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple intervene, the fourth princess suddenly died, which is too much of a coincidence."
He Cheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Lu Haifeng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, all knelt down in unison.
"Your Majesty, I am only here to go to the Privy Council Prison in compliance with your orders."
"I am the same. I have never seen anyone from the Zhao family before. When I followed Minister He to the prison, something had already happened to the Fourth Prince's wife."
They didn't dare to be charged with colluding with the Zhao family or even the Lu family to kill the princess.
Lu Haifeng was full of wrongs and just wanted to clear up his involvement, remembering what happened in prison before, and hurriedly said:
"By the way, Minister He and I were both shocked when we saw the death of the Fourth Prince's Consort. At first, we just thought that the Fourth Prince's Consort committed suicide. After all, she left a confession in blood."
"It's Old Madam Zhao who cried that the fourth princess would not commit suicide, holding her body and not letting go, I accidentally found that the scars on the necks of the fourth princess were different, which was harmed."
Cao Dejiang: "Heh, this is really a coincidence, Old Madam Zhao is kind."
Old Madam Zhao "......"
Her face was bloodless, and her heart was terrified.
At that time, she only wanted to let people find out that the death of the fourth princess was abnormal, and wanted people to know that she was "killed" by someone, and she could blame Xiao Yan, but who knew that after being called out at this time, it would be extremely abnormal, even deliberate.
She suppressed her panic and said, "I... , I was just sad at that time. I just thought Yinxuan was too strong to commit suicide. Moreover, after the incident at Lingyun Temple, I became ill due to anger. I could only barely hold on to enter the palace this morning..."
Cao Dejiang sneered: "That's a coincidence, the fourth princess has been locked up for more than half a month, but as soon as you enter the palace, she died."
Cui Lin rarely stood on the side of Cao Dejiang, like a-stirring stick, and wanted to fall into the well once he saw a loss.
"I see that Mrs. Zhao is quite healthy, and she kowtows outside Shou'an Palace and her head is bleeding, and she can go to the Privy Council to make trouble."
Cui Lin looked at Zhao Yuanlang and several other Zhao family members with a smile: "But don't embarrass them Cao Gong, it's normal for Mrs. Zhao to be old and sick, Maybe this is a common trait in the Zhao family."
"Although General Zhao looks strong, he might be as delicate as the old lady. Otherwise, how come only Madam Zhao is running around when the Fourth Prince's wife has been locked up for more than half a month, but no one else from the Zhao family is there?"
"The Zhao family's illness is probably serious. Lord Cao, please stop being so aggressive, or else General Zhao and the others will get sick again."
Cui Lin's face was full of concern "General Zhao, please take good care of yourself."
Feng Qiuli: “…”
Tang Ning: “…”
Cui Lin is really rude.

T/N: Women usually keep their surnames in ancient china so the wife of the Zhao is called by her father’s surname ‘Yue’ with the suffix ‘Shi’ which translates to Yue Family
