Chapter 173 Entering the Palace for the First Time
In the end, Song Qingwan came to Zhao Yuanshen's mansion alone under the supervision of Murong You.
Song Qingwan observed the surrounding environment calmly. She found that Zhao Yuanshen’s mansion was very similar to the Monkey King’s palace, and was quite different from the buildings in the Southern Xinjiang Palace.
Zhao Yuanshen's mansion looked much more magnificent, and all the decorative furniture revealed Zhao Yuanshen's huge ambition.
Murong You took Song Qingwan directly to the study, while Zhao Yuanshen was reading a military book at that time.
When he saw Song Qingwan come in, he immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up, and greeted her with a smile on his face.
"The Queen Consort Huai is finally here. I have been waiting for her for a long time."
"Your Highness Prince Chen's methods of doing things are indeed somewhat dishonorable. I wonder why the prince has kidnapped me?"
"Your Highness Princess has been in Southern Xinjiang for more than a month. As the host, shouldn't I invite you to my house as a guest?"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the two men were arguing with each other and left her aside, Murong You walked up to Zhao Yuanshen with some displeasure.
"Why do you always talk to him and ignore me?"
"You'er, Princess Huai is a guest."
"Humph, what kind of guest is she? I'm giving you face by not killing her."
Murong You coquettishly took Zhao Yuanshen's arm, then turned around and glared at Song Qingwan, showing her little girl's attitude.
Song Qingwan shook her head helplessly. This girl seemed to have misunderstood the situation. She and Zhao Yuanshen were enemies, so what was there to be jealous of?
Zhao Yuanshen subconsciously looked at Song Qingwan's reaction. Seeing that her face looked a little ugly, he pushed Murong You's arm down without saying a word.
"You've worked hard, go to the backyard and rest first."
"Then you are not allowed to talk to her directly anymore. Just lock her up."
"You go first, I'll come find you later."
Hearing that Zhao Yuanshen would come to see her in a while, Murong You finally became happy. She smiled at Song Qingwan with a victorious look on her face, then ran happily to the backyard.
Song Qingwan looked at Zhao Yuanshen who was somewhat embarrassed and couldn't help teasing him.
"Your Highness Prince Chen is so lucky. It seems that this Saint is deeply in love with you."
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess. I have already arranged a place for you to stay. Please come in, Princess."
Song Qingwan nodded and followed the servant to Zhao Yuanshen's backyard.
She did not run away, nor did she think about running away. In this heavily guarded mansion, it was impossible for her to slip away under Zhao Yuanshen's nose.
In addition, she was poisoned by a Gu, so she needed to find a way to remove the poison as soon as possible, otherwise it would be troublesome if the child was harmed over time.
A maid led Song Wanwan directly to a room that looked well-decorated, stopped and spoke respectfully.
"Your Highness, please. This is specially prepared for you by the prince."
"Thank you girl"
After Song Qingwan entered the room and locked the door, she always felt that there was something strange about this house.
The people in the mansion treated her strangely. Although she was the Princess Huai of the Great Saint Dynasty, she was now a prisoner.
Not only did Zhao Yuanshen prepare such a comfortable room for her, but the servants were also very respectful to her. This was too abnormal.
Thinking of Zhao Yuanshen's attitude towards Murong You in front of her during the day, Song Qingwan couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
No way? Zhao Yuanshen wouldn't be so perverted, right? Could he have some idea about her?
Although she didn't know whether she had guessed wrong, Song Qingwan still silently became defensive.
At dinner time in the evening, Zhao Yuanshen came again and was very attentive to Song Qingwan.
Ask her if she is used to the food, if there is anything uncomfortable in the room, and tell her to tell the servants if she has any problem.
Song Qingwan thanked them one by one without saying a word, and she did not ignore the look Zhao Yuanshen glanced at her from time to time.
That look really wasn't innocent, and Song Qingwan suddenly felt more certain about her guess during the day.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Song Qingwan locked the door and slipped directly into the space.
Although she was physically exhausted, she couldn't rest yet. She had to find a way to detoxify.
It had only been a day since the poison entered her body, but Song Qingwan had already shown some reactions, with some strange red spots appearing on her arms.
Song Qingwan first gritted his teeth and drew some blood from his wrist, then took it under a microscope for analysis.
Sure enough, there were some unknown viruses in her blood that were devouring her white blood cells.
Although the swallowing speed was very slow, Song Qingwan could tell at a glance that this should be the poison.
But Song Qingwan had no idea about its ingredients.
She analyzed and compared these samples with the previously stored poison samples, but found nothing. What should she do?
If the poison cannot be cured, the child will definitely be affected.
Song Qingwan was a little flustered. She bit her lips hard, trying to calm herself down.
She can't be in a mess. The more confused she is, the harder it will be to find a solution.
Song Qingwan is pregnant now and cannot take those strong blocking drugs, so she can only use some pure Chinese medicine that is harmless to the human body to ensure the safety of the child.
Although these medicines can play a certain role in solving the problem, they also cause extreme side effects.
Song Qingwan vomited and felt sick for an hour before coming out of the space. She lay weakly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Zhao Yuanshen came knocking on Song Qingwan's door early.
Today he wore a dark red robe with dark gold silk embroidered on the edges, and a gold ribbon on his head, making him look both flamboyant and noble.
Song Qingwan opened the door and saw Zhao Yuanshen, who looked like a butterfly, and rolled her eyes in her heart.
Is this imitating the peacock spreading its tail? She is so old and still dresses like this.
"What is it that the prince wants to see me so early?"
"Why do you look so bad? Did you sleep poorly?"
"Your Highness, why are you beating around the bush like this? You guys poisoned me, and I'm a pregnant woman. I didn't sleep well the whole night because of the poison, so naturally I don't look good."
"Poison? You said you were poisoned."
"Why? Your Highness, you wouldn't be unaware of this, right? Didn't you arrange for Miss Murong to kidnap me at the gate of the other courtyard and put a curse on me, so that my child and I would have two lives in this life?"
"I never said that. I only asked the princess to come to my house as a guest."
Zhao Yuanshen cursed in his heart. He didn't know Murong You would make such a decision.
He just asked Murong You to find a way to bring Song Qingwan to his house, and then secretly abort the child.
He then used some means to keep Song Qingwan in his house, so that he could enjoy the happiness of having two wives.
"If what the prince said is true, then there is some misunderstanding between you and Miss Murong."
"It must be a misunderstanding. I will ask her now and give you an explanation later."
