Chapter 79: Where is the Suspicion

Where is the Suspicion

Without any warning, Nie Jinxuan collapsed just like that.

In an instant, everyone present was stunned! Including Yin Fengxuan and the Prince of Yun, Yin Fengjin himself.

At this moment, Yin Fengzhan widened his eyes and reached out to pick up Nie Jinxuan.

"Nie Jinxuan?!"

He called her name in a low voice, but then Yin Fengzhan frowned and ordered without looking up,

"Call the imperial physician!"

After speaking, Yin Fengzhan took Nie Jinxuan and left. At this moment, Yin Fengxuan, standing beside him, finally recovered and shouted at the palace servants who were already stunned,

"What are you all looking at? Go call the imperial physician! Hurry up and call the imperial physician! Go!"

At this moment, Yin Fengxuan was also anxious. After shouting at a group of palace servants, Yin Fengxuan also followed Yin Fengzhan... but after running two steps, Yin Fengxuan stopped, turned around, and rushed to the Prince of Yun, Yin Fengjin, grabbing his collar.

"Yin Fengjin, this matter is not over! If anything happens to Fourth Brother, I will slaughter you!"

After roaring at Yin Fengjin, Yin Fengxuan pushed him aside with force and ran away like the wind.

Nie Jinxuan had fainted, and the news spread throughout the Zuixiashanzhuang.

At this moment, the side room in the front courtyard was packed with people. Nie Jinxuan lay on the bed, still unconscious. Xiao Xiu was wiping tears at the head of the bed, Yin Fengxuan was pacing in circles, and even Noble Consort Zhang, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, was sitting anxiously by the bed with a worried face. Nie Jinhui stood beside her, looking at Nie Jinxuan, who was lying on the bed, in silence.

The room was eerily quiet. After a while, the imperial physician Zhou stood up from the bedside. Seeing this, Noble Consort Zhang, sitting beside him, hurriedly asked in a low voice,

"Imperial Physician Zhou, what happened to Jinxuan?"

It was evident that Noble Consort Zhang was very anxious. Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Imperial Physician Zhou.

But hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhou didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned to the table, picked up a brush, wrote a prescription, and handed it to the servant beside him, then turned to Noble Consort Zhang and bowed.

"Noble Consort, Prince..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. What exactly happened? Tell us quickly, don't you see we are worried to death?!"

Looking at Imperial Physician Zhou's unhurried manner, Yin Fengxuan, who had squeezed over, couldn't help but urge him. Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhou looked up at Yin Fengxuan but still said slowly,

"Reporting to Noble Consort and Prince, the Princess Consort of Chen has been poisoned!"

Imperial Physician Zhou was always unhurried, but this time he spoke quite directly. Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and Yin Fengxuan jumped up.

"Poisoned?"

Yin Fengxuan was full of surprise, but then he suddenly realized something and turned to Yin Fengzhan, shouting,

"Fourth Brother! It must be that bastard Yin Fengjin who poisoned her. Right, that cup of wine was originally meant for you, Fourth Brother. If it hadn't been blocked by this woman, the one lying here would be you!"

Yin Fengxuan became more and more angry as he spoke, and after saying this, he couldn't help but slam the table beside him.

"Hmph! I knew that bastard was ill-intentioned. No, I'm going to settle the score with him!"

As he spoke, he really turned to rush out. Seeing this, Noble Consort Zhang shouted,

"You stand still!"

"But Mother..."

"There are no 'buts'! The most important thing now is not who poisoned her, but to save your Fourth Sister-in-law's life!"

In front of everyone, Noble Consort Zhang rarely restrained her smile and said sternly. Hearing this, although Yin Fengxuan still wanted to argue, he closed his mouth under Noble Consort Zhang's glare.

After Yin Fengxuan calmed down, Noble Consort Zhang turned to Imperial Physician Zhou and continued to ask,

"Then may I ask Imperial Physician Zhou, how is Jinxuan now?"

"Noble Consort, rest assured, because it was discovered in time, there is no major problem. I have just prescribed a prescription, and after the Princess Consort of Chen takes the medicine a few times, she will definitely recover!"

Imperial Physician Zhou said slowly. After speaking, he bowed to Noble Consort Zhang and Yin Fengzhan and walked out. Only then, after Imperial Physician Zhou left, did Noble Consort Zhang sigh in relief.

"Alright, since Jinxuan is fine, let's all go out first."

As she spoke, Noble Consort Zhang stood up and pulled Nie Jinhui over.

"Jinhui, now that your sister has had this accident, I don't trust anyone else, so I will trouble you to take care of her."

"Yes, Noble Consort, rest assured, there is no need for you to say it, I understand."

"Hmm, that's good!"

Gently patting Nie Jinhui's hand, Noble Consort Zhang turned around and looked at the two brothers, Yin Fengzhan and Yin Fengxuan.

"Alright, I will leave this to Jinhui. Zhan'er, Xuan'er, come with me."

After speaking, Noble Consort Zhang didn't wait for Yin Fengzhan and Yin Fengxuan to say anything and walked out directly.

After leaving the side room, Noble Consort Zhang didn't go directly to her room. Instead, she turned to a side room next to Nie Jinxuan's. As soon as she entered, Noble Consort Zhang waved her hand at Yuzhu, who was following behind.

Seeing this, Yuzhu nodded knowingly, dismissed the other servants in the room, and closed the door from the outside as she left. After Yuzhu left, Noble Consort Zhang raised her eyes to look at the two brothers, Yin Fengzhan and Yin Fengxuan.

"What is going on? Why was Jinxuan poisoned for no reason?"

Noble Consort Zhang's face was filled with gravity. Hearing this, Yin Fengxuan widened his eyes and said angrily,

"What else could it be? It's all because of that Yin Fengjin!"

"Fengjin?!"

"It's him! Who else could it be!"

Speaking decisively, Yin Fengxuan recounted what had happened in the Jufeng Tang earlier. After catching his breath, he continued,

"So Mother, it's not that I suspect him! Besides him, who else could have poisoned her? Also, Yin Fengjin has always been in the same boat as the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince has always been at odds with Fourth Brother. So this matter is clearly aimed at Fourth Brother!"

"And also, I just said, if that woman hadn't blocked that cup of wine, the one poisoned would be Fourth Brother! So, this matter cannot be let go!"

Yin Fengxuan was so angry that his face turned red. But at this moment, hearing his words, Noble Consort Zhang pursed her lips and turned to look at Yin Fengzhan, who had been silent.

"Zhan'er, what do you think?"

"This son does not dare to confirm."

Clearly, compared to Yin Fengxuan's excitement, Yin Fengzhan was much calmer. Hearing this, Noble Consort Zhang frowned.

"Oh? What does Zhan'er mean?"

"This son does not dare to speculate, but this matter is indeed suspicious!"

"Where is the suspicion?"

Noble Consort Zhang couldn't help but ask. Yin Fengzhan looked at Noble Consort Zhang and lowered his eyes.

"Because it is true that Jinxuan was poisoned, but under the current circumstances, it cannot be confirmed that it was definitely that cup of wine that was poisoned! After all, Aunt can think about it: although the Prince of Yun has always been at odds with this son, if Jinxuan was poisoned, or rather, if this son was poisoned, the Prince of Yun would definitely not be able to escape the consequences in front of everyone! And the Prince of Yun naturally understands such a simple truth, so why would he do such a foolish thing?!"

"So, calculating it this way, it is too early to say that the Prince of Yun did the poisoning!"

Yin Fengzhan was meticulous. Hearing this, Noble Consort Zhang nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm, what Zhan'er says makes sense!"

Noble Consort Zhang pursed her lips, but then frowned even more tightly.

"However, if what Zhan'er says is true, then from the moment we stepped into this Zuixiashanzhuang today, everyone we have come into contact with could be the murderer!"

Noble Consort Zhang whispered, and the room fell into silence...

Because Nie Jinxuan was poisoned, Noble Consort Zhang, Yin Fengzhan, and the others were worried in the side room. But at this moment, in a side room in the back courtyard of the villa, the tense atmosphere was equally oppressive.

"Fengjin, tell me, what is going on?! Why was the Princess Consort of Chen poisoned for no reason?!"

In the room, Empress Duan sat upright, her beautiful eyes looking at Yin Fengjin. Hearing this, Yin Fengjin, standing before her, also frowned.

"Empress, I really don't know about this!"

Facing Empress Duan, Yin Fengjin was also very conflicted. But just as Yin Fengjin finished speaking, Empress Duan slammed the table beside her.

"Don't know?! If you don't know, who would know?!"

Empress Duan was a bit agitated, but after saying this, she calmed down and said in a deep voice,

"Fengjin, it's not that I don't believe you today, but now everyone in the villa believes it! You must know that everyone in the villa now knows that the Princess Consort of Chen collapsed after drinking the wine you toasted. So, now that you say you don't know, who else would know?!"

"And, Fengjin, you don't think about it: the one poisoned now is the Princess Consort of Chen, but I heard that this cup of wine was originally meant for Yin Fengzhan! So think about it, if the Princess Consort of Chen hadn't blocked it and drank the wine, the one poisoned would be Yin Fengzhan! And at that time, Fengjin, if you say you don't know, do you think the Emperor will believe you?!"
