The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 216 Half-Day Epilepsy

Xue'er, who used her body to block Concubine Rong, screamed. The whip lashed at her, her clothes were torn, and the barbs hooked off a string of flesh.

The Crown Princess was horrified: "Come quickly! Hold her down, Princess Xinyue has gone crazy."

The two maids who followed Rong Xin hurried over to pull her, but were kicked to the ground by Rong Xin one by one.

Rong Xin knows some martial arts, so he is more than capable of beating up a few people who dare not fight back.

Jian Yue and Fu Yun hurriedly protected the Crown Princess and took her away from Rong Xin.

Several female guards rushed in and restrained Rong Xin in a few seconds.

Rong Xin was on the verge of going berserk, struggling desperately. She cursed as she struggled: "Bitch! Bastard! This princess is the most beloved granddaughter of General Rong. If you dare to disrespect this princess, this princess will let Grandpa cut you into pieces. The position of the crown prince will sooner or later belong to my second prince's cousin. Even the emperor respects our Rong family. Who do you think you are?"

Concubine Rong was shocked and angry, and felt dizzy: "Quick, block her mouth, Rong Xin has gone crazy, don't let her talk nonsense."

This is really killing me! Does this damn girl know what she is talking about?

The Crown Princess sneered.

Look! The Rong family and the second prince have no intention of hiding their ambitions. Do they really think that all the people in the East Palace are dead?

Earlier, she had deliberately not let the guards block Rong Xin's mouth, to see what shocking words Rong Xin, who had lost his mind, could say. As expected, she did not disappoint herself.

Ha ha!

The concubines and young ladies present lowered their heads in horror, wishing they didn't have ears.

Could they listen to such words? Would Concubine Rong kill them to silence them? Oh my God! Please, a god come and save them! They really didn't want to hear such treasonous remarks.

At this time, another group of people came in from outside. The leader was none other than the Crown Prince Ji Yunye. Behind him were the Second and Fifth Princes, as well as some noble sons from ministers' families.

Ji Yunye was thin. Although the poison in his body had been cured, his vitality was greatly damaged and he needed to recuperate slowly.

He looks gentle and elegant, but there is an invisible aura about him that makes people feel oppressive.

"Your Highness!" The Crown Princess rushed over. Before she could say anything, she heard Concubine Rong say, "Crown Prince, I suspect Xin'er has been poisoned, which is why she has lost her mind. Please ask an imperial physician to come and take a look."

Ji Yunye's eyes darkened.

He thought he had gotten used to Concubine Rong's domineering attitude, but now hearing it in his ears, the feeling of discomfort and disgust in his heart became even stronger.

"Guiquan, go and ask the two imperial doctors to come over." Ji Yunye ordered.

Gui Quan was the eunuch who served him personally and was also his most trusted confidant.

Guiquan agreed and turned away quickly.

A maid came over and picked up the hairpin on the ground.

Concubine Rong was helped to sit down by Nanny Yu and Xue'er.

The second prince asked with concern: "Is mother injured?"

Concubine Rong covered her chest with her hands, looking weak: "Xuan'er, your cousin was fine when she came. I don't know who framed her and made her like this. You must help your brother, the crown prince, to investigate thoroughly."

The fifth prince said, "Second brother, what mother said is true. Rong Yao was speaking nonsense at the entrance of the Wen Family Restaurant yesterday. I don't know what evil has befallen him. It would be bad if people misunderstood that they are dissatisfied with the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

Concubine Rong's face turned dark.

Why not bring up the issue? How can we not mention the stupid things Honor did?

The second prince also glared at Ji Yunzhong in dissatisfaction: "Fifth brother, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak. What are you talking about? It's because Rong Yao was provoked by Princess Mingyue that he spoke without thinking. Even I have to admit that Princess Mingyue's method of provoking is very good."

Jian Yue chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment, Second Prince. As the saying goes, even a rabbit bites when it's angry! If an honest person is bullied, he has to think of ways to save his life, right? As for provoking or not, if she doesn't have any ill will towards others, who can provoke her to kill?"

"I just came to Beijing, and I don't know the Rong family. The Rong brothers and sisters insulted me verbally and attacked me personally the first time we met, and shouted for me to be beaten and killed. I don't know what they mean."

Concubine Rong and the Second Prince looked at Jian Yue with eyes that seemed like they wanted to eat her.

I have never seen a person whose mouth is sharper than a knife. He dares to stab anyone and is not afraid of having his mouth sewn shut.

Ji Yunzhong: "Second brother, the imperial physician is here. Let him check carefully whether it is poisoned, so that you, the prince, will not be accused of inexplicable crimes. Some people are really arrogant and have reached into the East Palace to stir up trouble." Ji Yunzhong turned to the prince and said, "You, the prince, should clean up the East Palace. Whoever has a long hand will be chopped off."

Concubine Rong and her son looked unhappy.

Ji Yunzhong's indirect criticism hit them hard, and they felt a lump in their hearts, unable to breathe out or get out, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Ji Xiaowu, are you publicly taking sides?

The two imperial doctors carefully felt Rong Xin's pulse, but Rong Xin kicked and bit, refusing to cooperate at all.

The Crown Princess winked at Madam Zhuang beside her. Madam Zhuang walked over and slapped Rong Xin twice on the face.

Concubine Rong & Second Prince: ...My face hurts.

Rong Xin struggled even harder, his eyes were red, like a mad beast.

Concubine Rong's face drooped instantly: "Wei..."

"Mother, Rong Xin lost her temper and hurt you. My father will be so sad if he knows about this! Do you still want to protect her?" The Crown Princess said indignantly.

Concubine Rong: ...

The excuse is very good and there is nothing to say.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the two imperial doctors.

The two imperial doctors carefully examined her for a long time and shook their heads. One of them said, "Prince, Madam Imperial Concubine, Princess Xinyue has no signs of poisoning except for the rapid pulse and heart rate caused by strenuous exercise."

Jian Yue's lips curled up slightly.

The poison she gave Rong Xin was a modified version of the "seven-day epilepsy" called "half-day epilepsy", the symptoms of which are rapid heartbeat and accelerated blood flow.

This poison takes effect quickly, is colorless and tasteless, and the victim is prone to impulsiveness and mania, unable to control his temper. Moreover, semi-daily epilepsy does not require detoxification, and the toxicity will weaken over time until it disappears.

Jian Yue poisoned Rong Xin just to teach her a lesson. If she still doesn't change her ways next time, don't blame her for being rude.

It was obvious that Concubine Rong and her son were very dissatisfied with the imperial physician's diagnosis. But if they continued to argue, it would only make things worse.

Concubine Rong said: "Xuan'er, bring Rong Xin to you. I will teach her a lesson."

In fact, Concubine Rong was afraid that Rong Xin would fall into the hands of the prince and cause other misfortunes. If the prince held on to what Rong Xin said, both her mother and her son and her family would be implicated.

The prince did not stop them and let the mother and son take the person away.

The Crown Princess asked everyone to take their seats again and had desserts brought to calm everyone. She pulled Jian Yue to her side and asked with concern: "Sister Mingyue, are you injured? I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

In Jian Yue's heart...
