Chapter 494 Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest
Princess Yuanxia was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What does the county lady mean? I have already lost an arm, and the county lady still wants to humiliate me like this?"
Shen Shuyi looked directly at Princess Yuanxia: "If you are not guilty, why don't you ask the imperial physician to check it out? After all, the princess can suspect that it was our Qian country who did something, and our Qian country can also suspect that Yuanxia has ulterior motives!"
Shen Shuyi's words made many court officials' eyes light up.
It's not that no one had thought of this before, but it's futile to make random accusations without any evidence, not to mention that it's really ungraceful to do it to a woman who had lost an arm.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Shen Shuyi to speak now.
Shen Jingyu was slightly stunned.
Yes, why should they prove themselves? Princess Yuanxia suspected them, so why didn't they also suspect Yuanxia?
Why didn't she think of this...
It would be great if she proposed it.
Shen Jingyu looked up at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and could clearly sense the emperor's approval.
Shen Shuyi is really...
There has never been a moment when Shen Jingyu felt as much as she does now that Shen Shuyi is a hidden danger, a rival, an enemy who will take away everything from her, and who is equal to or even stronger than her!
Princess Yuanxia looked pale and bit her lips tightly.
She must have guessed it long ago.
How did the Princess of Changning find out?
Shen Shuyi spoke again: "I just asked the imperial physician to examine the tiger. The tiger was fed with herbs that could make it go crazy, and the princess seems to have a scent that can suppress this poison."
"What nonsense!" the Yuanxia envoy shouted.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Since the envoy is so sure, why don't you dare to ask the imperial physician of Daqian to verify it?"
With just these few words, the Yuanxia envoy's face turned pale.
"I am Princess Yuanxia, a noble lady. How can I be humiliated by you like this?"
Shen Shuyi smiled: "The princess wants an explanation, and we in Daqian also want an explanation. If the princess wants to investigate anything, just ask."
Shen Shuyi spoke calmly, and Princess Yuan Xia's eyes were gloomy.
She knew that even if Emperor Qianwu allowed her to investigate, it would be useless because nothing could be found on these people.
This Changning County Lady... is really hateful...
Without waiting for Princess Yuanxia to speak again, Emperor Qianwu made a prompt decision and said in a cold voice: "Doctor Wang, why don't you treat Princess Yuanxia properly!"
"Yes!"
Several imperial doctors came to their senses, realized the emperor's tough attitude, and stepped forward immediately.
Several of Yuan Xia's guards were on high alert, trying to protect Princess Yuan Xia in the middle.
But they were only allowed to carry unsharpened daggers, which had no deterrent effect at all.
Daqian's guards surrounded the group, as if they would kill anyone who dared to speak on the spot without mercy.
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold. Emperor Qianwu was an emperor with great courage.
Now, based only on his own one-sided words, he dared to seize the opportunity to turn against Yuan Xia.
Doctor Wang and a few others stepped forward, also with a firm attitude.
Princess Yuanxia had already broken an arm, so there was no way she could win the fight. Not long after, Doctor Wang found some tiny scented beads in Princess Yuanxia's ring and bracelet.
The ring used by Princess Yuan Xia has an opening and closing design. When the lid is opened, some scent beads are hidden underneath, while the surface of the ring is hollowed out, so the scent of the scent beads is enough to float out of the ring.
This is even more true for the bracelet, except that the scented beads in the bracelet are larger, and as Princess Yuan Xia moves, a faint scent will waft out.
"As expected, you Yuan Xia have ulterior motives and want to murder my Majesty!"
When a court official saw this, he immediately came out with a big hat on.
"No, if this thing can drive a tiger crazy, then why is the tiger so obedient when she plays the piano?"
When someone raised a question, Doctor Wang replied, "Your Majesty, this fragrant pill has been verified by me and others to be a spice that can soothe nerves and relax people."
Upon hearing this, Princess Yuanxia sneered and said, "I am not used to the climate in Daqian and I can't sleep today, so I brought these scent beads that can calm my mind and spirit with me. I wonder if there is anything wrong with that?"
Doctor Wang frowned and said, "The amount you are wearing is too much. You should know that the amount you are wearing is enough to make wild beasts obedient."
"Are you saying that I'm lying?" Princess Yuanxia said angrily, her heart growing colder.
She knew that she might not be able to escape unscathed from Daqian today.
Doctor Wang spoke again: "Besides, if the princess suffers from insomnia, why would she wear these incense beads? The princess only needs to put them in the incense burner and light them at night. Why would the princess wear them?"
Princess Yuan Xia's face was pale. It was obvious that even though the wound had been carefully bandaged, she had held on for too long.
If the maid hadn't been supporting her body, she would have fallen down at any time.
"This princess likes this taste. What do you in the Qian Kingdom mean? Are you interrogating me?" Princess Yuanxia obviously had no intention of giving in.
Emperor Qianwu said coldly: "I, Daqian, naturally have no right to interrogate the princess, but the princess is plotting to murder my Daqian royal family. It seems that I have to ask your father for an explanation!"
The next moment, without waiting for Princess Yuanxia to speak again, Emperor Qianwu said in a deep voice: "Princess Yuanxia intends to sow discord between Daqian and Yuanxia. She has ulterior motives and is plotting to murder our Daqian royal family and ministers. Come, take her away and send a letter to the Emperor of Yuanxia to explain this matter!"
Knowing that she couldn't leave, Princess Yuanxia didn't struggle. She let the guards push her as she staggered away.
But after taking a few steps, she stopped and couldn't help but look back at the girl beside the Queen Mother, and slowly asked: "How did you do it?"
She was able to tame the tiger because of the fragrant pill, but how did the Princess of Changning do it?
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and just said, "Shuyi doesn't understand what the princess is talking about."
"Hahahaha!" Princess Yuanxia laughed out loud, still unwillingly.
After the farce ended, the envoys from other countries calmed down for a while.
The blood and mess in the hall were quickly cleaned up, and the banquet continued. In the warm and hazy atmosphere, there was singing and dancing, as if nothing had happened.
Until someone looked up outside the temple and couldn't help but say, "It's snowing!"
Shen Shuyi looked up. It was already dark. The brightly lit hall reflected the night outside. Heavy snow was falling in the light and shadow. From a distance, although it was not real, it looked like silver.
"It looks like a heavy snow." The Queen Mother said softly.
Shen Shuyi said considerately: "As the saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest. I think this year will definitely be a good year."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your words are auspicious and deserve a reward."
By the end of the You hour, when the court banquet was over, the snow had not stopped and road conditions were difficult.
Emperor Qianwu immediately arranged for elderly officials and female relatives to stay temporarily in the palace until the snow stopped the next day, and then return home to celebrate the New Year.
Shen Shuyi was about to ask for resignation from the Queen Mother when he heard Emperor Qianwu say, "Changning, stay."
Shen Shuyi bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Jingyu had only taken a few steps when she heard these words. She couldn't help but look up at the girl on the jade steps again.
