Chapter 911 Changping Princess's Mansion
When Song Ruozhen heard about the Qi family's troubles, she couldn't help but be surprised. The Dali Temple hadn't even finished investigating the matter yet, so what could have happened to the Qi family?
"The eldest son of the Qi family was poisoned and vomited blood. After the doctor examined him, he said there was no hope. The Qi family immediately went to invite the imperial physician, but before the imperial physician arrived, he had already died."
Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting exchanged a glance, both of them taken aback.
We were just talking about Princess Changping today, and Qi Juncheng was one of the key figures in that story. But now, the investigation has only just begun, and Qi Juncheng has already died.
"Is the person already dead?"
Chu Junting frowned slightly; this situation was indeed somewhat unexpected.
"The imperial physician examined him and confirmed that he had no breath left and there was absolutely no way to save him."
Yunyang shook his head. If there were still a glimmer of hope, he would probably try to ask the princess to treat him, but now it was clear that there was no hope.
"Because the doctors and imperial physicians had examined him and confirmed that he died of poisoning, the Qi family immediately reported it to the authorities."
The Court of Judicial Review has taken on this case, so they just sent someone to inform the Prince to go and take a look as soon as possible.
Chu Junting understood, but Song Ruozhen was somewhat puzzled, "Would this kind of case fall under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple?"
“Originally, this case should have been under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, but since Dali Temple is currently investigating the Qi family's case, it has been transferred to Dali Temple as well,” Chu Junting explained.
Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "Then you should eat some more first, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be busy for a long time tonight."
The person is already dead, so the others from the Dali Temple should have arrived by now, and the evidence shouldn't be lost.
Chu Junting knew that his wife was concerned about him, so he ate a couple more bites and said, "Madam, you should rest early tonight. You don't need to wait for me."
This matter will definitely take a lot of time today, so I'm afraid I'll have to come back tomorrow.
"I understand, you don't need to worry about me."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, indicating to Chu Junting that he could rest assured that she was eating and drinking well at home and there was no need to worry.
After Chu Junting left, Song Ruozhen pondered and said, "What a coincidence! Could it be that Qi Juncheng knew some secret and was killed to silence him?"
"Your Highness, according to the information you sent me to investigate today, Qi Juncheng is the most promising son of the Qi family."
The Qi family is counting on him for this generation, and now he's been poisoned to death. Could it have been done by someone in the Qi family themselves?
Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "However, I also feel that the Qi family shouldn't be that cruel."
"If brothers can fight each other and even steal their sister-in-law, then poisoning doesn't seem so strange."
Song Ruozhen shrugged, and after a quick calculation, she understood.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi and the others exchanged glances, seemingly understanding what their princess meant.
"The Qi family is already in trouble because of Miss Huang, and things haven't calmed down yet. Why would they do something like this at this critical juncture?"
Qing Teng couldn't help but be surprised, "Could it be that he killed her because he was worried that Qi Juncheng would take her away again after this was exposed? That way, even if Princess Changping regained her senses, she wouldn't be able to be with Qi Juncheng."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi and Chen Xiang suddenly felt that what Qing Teng said made a lot of sense, but if it could really be done, it would be truly terrifying.
"Qi Juncheng and Qi Junming are brothers, born of the same mother, not illegitimate children. Would they really do such a thing?"
Bai Zhi felt a chill run down her spine; such thoughts were truly wicked.
Song Ruozhen also found such methods outrageous, but she had experienced a lot over the years and knew that the world was full of wonders, and such people were not uncommon.
After all, what kind of good person is a man who can break up a couple and plot to steal his future sister-in-law?
"Your Highness must be very busy tonight, so let's get some rest."
Song Ruozhen stood up, intending to go back to her room to rest, when she suddenly learned that someone else was requesting an audience.
"Your Highness, someone from Princess Changping's residence has arrived."
"The Princess's residence?"
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. Hadn't she already given the talisman to Jun Ting? Could something have happened to the Princess's residence as well?
"Could it be that after Princess Changping recovered, Qi Junming went mad and not only poisoned Qi Juncheng, but also wanted to poison Princess Changping as well?"
Chenxiang's eyes widened. If that were really the case, it would be terrifying!
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi and Qing Teng felt that there was no limit to how terrifying it could get.
"Chenxiang, it's terrifying that you have such thoughts!"
Chenxiang choked and quickly said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not that kind of person!"
Just then, the steward said, "Your Highness, Miss Meng has also arrived."
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow, "Meng Qin?"
"Exactly."
"Please invite them all in."
Soon, Meng Qin arrived and said, "Ruozhen, I heard that something happened to Changping. My aunt asked me for help, saying she wanted to ask about talismans, so I came here."
Song Ruozhen understood. "So you and Princess Changping are friends?"
"I've known her for many years. I always thought she had a good personality and was intelligent. However, since I fell in love with Qi Junming, we've had much less contact."
After hearing what my aunt said today, I realized that none of this was her original intention. It really shocked me!
Meng Qin was horrified as she thought about the news she heard today. She couldn't believe that Changping had changed so much back then, and now that she knew the truth, she felt even more horrified.
"Your Highness, our lady wishes to invite you to come over. The princess has been in a coma since using the talisman, and the doctors have been unable to help her. She has not been able to wake up for a long time. If you have the time, we hope you can come."
The servants of Princess Changping's residence respectfully presented the gifts they were carrying, saying, "This is a small token of our lady's appreciation; we hope the Crown Princess will like it."
The man was filled with unease; this was the Crown Princess!
Their household had never had much interaction with the Chu Prince's household, and now that they were making a sudden visit, they were afraid it would be difficult for the prince to agree, but they had to give it a try.
Song Ruozhen looked at the gift that had been delivered—a set of jade jewelry, which was obviously very valuable at a glance.
It seems that the Changping Princess's residence is quite polite.
"Your Highness, I will send someone to inform the Prince first."
Qing Teng is always steady and reliable. The prince had previously instructed him to take good care of the princess. The Changping Princess's Mansion originally had no connection with the princess, so it was necessary to clarify things beforehand, just in case.
Song Ruozhen wasn't worried. She had no grudge against Princess Changping, so naturally she wouldn't cause her any trouble.
She glanced at Meng Qin, who also hoped she would go, and said, "Let's go take a look."
