Chapter 384 Poisoning Her Own Son
The ginger in front of him was dressed in tattered clothes, with unkempt hair and a foul stench.
She looked old, like a woman over forty, and her eyes were full of hatred and coldness.
Jiang Yu doesn't look like the pampered princess she once was at all.
The little prince in Jiang's arms was breathing weakly, his face was bluish-purple, and his eyes were closed, as if he was suffocating.
"Someone, go and bring the little prince over." A nanny walked up to Jiang Yu and reached out to take the little prince.
The moment the little prince was in her hands, he seemed to be frightened and let out a hoarse cry.
The nanny tried to soothe the little prince in a gentle voice, but no matter how she tried, he kept crying.
The crying stopped immediately when the little prince was held by more than ten different people.
"Fine, Lady Jiang. Since the young prince is now only close to you, for the sake of the young prince, I will rescind your punishment for now. You must take good care of the young prince and not slack off in the slightest, otherwise I will hold you accountable!" Emperor Changlong's voice was full of threat.
Jiang Yu knelt on the ground, holding the little prince, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She lowered her head and looked down, and no one saw the undisguised smugness in her eyes. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She doesn't have to die now.
Then, Emperor Changlong summoned the imperial physician to examine the young prince's pulse. After examining him, the physician said that the young prince was only a little weak, after all, he was premature, and there was nothing else seriously wrong.
Emperor Changlong bestowed the name An upon his young grandson, Shen An, hoping that he would be safe and well-behaved.
Shen An is Shen Xuan's son, so naturally he should go to the Prince Li's residence.
Jiang Yu had to take care of Shen An, so of course she had to go along.
After this farce, the palace banquet could not continue, and everyone left their seats and went home.
Jiang Yu carried Shen An and followed behind Shen Xuan, their feet crunching through the thick snow.
Shen Xuan walked ahead, never once glancing at Shen An or Jiang Yu.
Song Siyao and Shen Pei followed behind them, watching as the three of them boarded the carriage.
"Yaoyao, be careful." Shen Pei held Song Siyao's hand, his expression very gentle. "I noticed you didn't eat much just now. You can eat some more when we get back to the manor. I've asked the cook to make your favorite dishes."
He knew that although the palace banquets seemed very lavish every year, people were actually not full, so he had already instructed the cooks before entering the palace.
Song Siyao raised her eyes and asked with a smile, "Weren't you talking to Father Emperor just now? You even noticed whether I ate anything?"
"Yes, you are my wife. If I don't pay attention to you, who should I pay attention to?" Shen Pei said seriously, his gaze towards Song Siyao becoming increasingly gentle.
Song Siyao smiled, her eyes overflowing with happiness, "My husband's words are getting sweeter and sweeter."
"I'll let you try it when we get back to the manor," Shen Pei said with a smile.
"You're so unserious." Song Siyao gently patted Shen Pei's hand.
The two chatted and laughed as they boarded the carriage and returned to the Crown Prince's residence.
Back at the Crown Prince's residence, the cook set the food on the table, and Song Siyao and Shen Pei sat down to eat. Cang Yue then came over.
Cang Yue reported, "Your Highness, just as you predicted, Jiang Yu used medicine to induce premature labor."
Song Siyao said coldly, "She made Shen An have a premature birth, and then drugged her. If Shen An were to leave her, she would cry immediately. What a vicious thought."
"So vicious, one day she'll reap what she sows!" Shen Pei said with disgust.
"Your Highness, what medicine did Jiang Yu give Shen An?" Hong Shao asked curiously.
“It’s a special medicine. Jiang Yu ground the antidote into powder and applied it to her hands. As soon as Shen An Yi leaves her and can’t smell the antidote, he will become restless and cry incessantly,” Song Siyao explained.
"Shen An has poison in his body, how come the imperial physicians didn't detect it?" Hong Shao asked, her face full of doubt.
“This poison is not common, so it’s normal that the imperial physicians couldn’t diagnose it.” Song Siyao knew about this poison; she could tell from Shen An’s reaction and she could also smell the antidote on Jiang Yu’s hand.
"Princess Consort, why don't you expose her in front of the Emperor?" Hongshao asked, even more curious.
"Keep it for later, play the long game and catch a big fish." Song Siyao recalled Jiang Yu's every move in prison. Although Chen Chen was helping her, he was just a supervisor at the academy and didn't have that much power.
She cast out such a long line, with plenty of large bait, but the fish behind her just wouldn't bite.
After Song Siyao and Shen Pei finished their meal, everyone sat together to celebrate the New Year. The Crown Prince's residence was filled with joy and harmony, a stark contrast to the Prince's residence.
Shen Xuan's carriage stopped at the main gate of the Prince's Mansion. He got off the carriage first and walked straight ahead, ignoring Jiang Yu and Shen An behind him.
Jiang Yu hurriedly followed, carrying Shen An in her arms.
Just now in the carriage, Shen Xuan didn't say a word to her. She had to make Shen Xuan understand that she now had a trump card up her sleeve.
"Your Highness," Jiang Yu called out to Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan had already stepped one foot into the gate of the Prince's mansion. Upon hearing this, he turned around and stared coldly at Jiang Yu, "Jiang Shi, don't think that just because you gave birth to Shen An, you can act with impunity!"
"Your Highness, I didn't." Jiang Yu had lost her former arrogance; she had learned to be submissive and humble. She looked up at Shen Xuan, "Your Highness, I just want to ask where my little grandson and I live?"
Shen Xuan's gaze fell on Jiang Yu, and a pungent smell hit him. He quickly fanned himself with his hand, looking disgusted.
"You'll be staying in the side courtyard. Without my orders, you're not allowed to leave; you'll remain in the remote area," Shen Xuan warned sternly. "Furthermore, understand your current status. You are merely servants who care for Shen An; he cannot call you 'Mother.' Take good care of Shen An. If anything happens to him, I'll take your life!"
After saying this, he stopped looking at Jiang Yu, entered the mansion, and called out, "Steward!"
"What are your orders, Your Highness?" the steward asked as he stepped forward.
"Take them to the side courtyard and take good care of the young prince." Shen Xuan gave the order and left, his tone chillingly indifferent.
Jiang Yu stared at Shen Xuan's retreating figure with disdain. Shen Xuan looked down on Shen An and loathed him, but he also wanted to use Shen An to keep the emperor's favor.
She naturally looked down on Shen Xuan's behavior.
She carried Shen Anmai into the mansion, looked around at everything familiar, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
After several months, I'm finally back!
Song Siyao, you would never guess that I, Jiang Yu, would one day be able to return to the Prince Li's mansion.
As long as I have Shen An by my side, sooner or later I will definitely be able to regain my position as the Princess Consort.
Song Siyao, I will make sure you can't give birth to the child in your belly. I will also trample you under my feet and rub you hard, making you wish you were dead!
Haha ...
As Jiang Yu pondered this, a mixture of smugness and ruthlessness appeared on her face.
"An'er, you must be good. All of Mother's wealth and glory are in your hands." Jiang Yu reached out and touched Shen An's little face. When she looked up again, her eyes were full of ambition.
