Chapter 291 "Falling into the Water"

"Your Majesty, does it have anything to do with Mr. Chang that all the civil and military officials in the court are accusing me?" Shen Xuan's attitude was somewhat aggressive, completely disregarding the feelings of the court officials.
"Marquis, you've gone too far. Mr. Chang has been pleading for you all along, offending a large number of powerful figures in the court. Does this have anything to do with you?"
Wéi Zhèng became furious and slammed the table fiercely.
Wéi Sījūn was startled and weakly asked, "Father Emperor, I heard the ministers say that your hand is injured, what, what happened?"
Weizheng was at a loss for words and finally said, "It was the exceptional medical skills of Doctor Wang that cured Emperor's injury. The Emperor didn't want to go to war, so he seized this opportunity to bring an end to the conflict."
卫思君扑通跪在地上：“女儿知错了，请父皇降罪。”
“好了，你有何罪之有，还有，常先生之事，你们二人都不要纠结，朕自会处理好的……”
In Wei Zheng's eyes, there flashed a trace of cunning, as if he wanted to reveal something to Shen Xuan and Wei Sijun.
Originally, Shen Xuan wanted to talk to Wei Zheng about the situation with the barbarians, but there was a noisy commotion coming from outside the study.
The imperial dragon was furious, who was so bold to make such a noise here.
It seems that Grand Eunuch Zhang was desperately trying to prevent someone from breaking in. There are countless top-notch martial artists in the Emperor's Royal Garden, even the ordinary eunuchs are highly skilled in martial arts.
A dozen people, surprisingly couldn't stop one person and let them forcefully enter.
The guards were shocked, and some even shouted to protect the king.
A black-clothed person rushed to the front of the Royal Garden, and before reaching there, they fell to the ground with a thud and said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."
"Who are you?" Wei Zheng did not recognize this person and still felt fearful.
"I am a retainer serving by the side of the Second Marquis. The Second Marquis and the Second Princess went out to mourn the Little Prince for some reason, but both of them fell into the river..."
The black-clad men wept and reported with a heavy heart.
Wei Sijun felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Wei Zheng also felt a sharp pain in his heart. The Eldest Princess had sadly passed away, and if the Second Princess encountered another mishap, it would be a devastating blow to him.
At this moment, only Shen Xuan remained calm and collected: "Your Majesty, Second Prince Consort and Second Princess Consort are fortunate individuals. Perhaps they can turn a crisis into an opportunity. It would be wise to send people to search for them along the river."
Outside the capital, twenty miles away.
Among the green mountains and clear waters, lies the burial site of the nine-year-old prince who died young.
Zhao Tong would never have dreamed that when Wei Simian was poisoned, he accidentally dropped his personal sachet onto Wei Simian's bed.
Zhao Tong, in order to clear his suspicion, requested permission from the emperor and went to patrol the states and counties below, but actually stayed in the mansion.
Wei Sijun took out the sachet, and Zhao Tong's soul was scared away from his body.
"My lord, the emperor has treated you well. Why would you harm the young crown prince?" Tears streamed down Wei Sijun's eyes as he looked at the former martial champion, now transformed into this state.
"Princess, is the Emperor really not favoring me?" Zhao Tong smiled bitterly.
"Lord Husband, you were captured by the barbarians. Shen Gongzi is also a lord husband, but the Emperor painfully let him go to the barbarians to replace you. And you, you are doing things that hurt the Emperor's heart,
Little Prince is only nine years old, his mind is not fully developed, how could you bear to do this." Wei Sijun looked at Zhao Tong with anger, her heart twisted like a knife.
"Princess, you also know that he is the Little Prince, only nine years old, but the Emperor wants to pass the throne to him. Can a child really manage a country?"
Zhao Tong is unwilling to accept it in his heart. Why does Wei Simian have all the good things since birth, and not only that, but also the future throne awaits him.
"Zhao Tong, do you think that by killing the Crown Prince, the Emperor will abdicate the throne to you? You are too naive. The Crown Prince is not dead at all..."
Weisi Jun laughed. The Second Prince has left, but the soldiers and generals of the Wei family will always have the surname Wei and will not fall into the hands of outsiders.
"Second Princess, don't worry, I will become the emperor. Almost all the civil and military officials in the entire court have been bribed by me. The emperor is now just a figurehead,
In no time, the emperor will voluntarily abdicate the throne to me," Zhao Tong laughed heartily, causing the river to almost dry up.
"Zhao Tong, even if the emperor sincerely wants to hand over the throne to you, your life is not long anymore. Do you know that your days are numbered?"
Weissi also laughed, but it was a painful, desolate laughter.
Just before leaving, Weissi poured two cups of wine and drank with Zhaotong. However, there was a poison in the wine that Weissi had secretly added, and now the toxicity is estimated to slowly take effect.
"Princess, what, what do you mean?" Zhao Tong finally became frightened and shivered all over.
"Sir, did you know that there is a kind of poison in the wine you drank? You wanted to become the emperor, but I won't let you succeed."
Weixiyukuxiao, this is the man she deeply loves, but now he has become like this.
"Princess, since you are so heartless, do not blame me for being heartless." Zhao Tong drew out his sword and pointed it at Wei Siyi.
"My lord, you happen to accompany me on a journey, so that I can be spared the pain of poison." Wei Siyi still forced a smile, suspecting that the toxicity had already started to take effect, causing her stomach to ache.
"Take out the antidote, and I may spare your life," Zhao Tong glared at Wei Siyi savagely. He didn't want to die, he had plenty of good days ahead of him!
"Zhao Tong, if you want the antidote, I'll give it to you right now." Wei Siyi pulled out a porcelain bottle and threw it into the river.
Zhao Tong jumped into the river with a splash and disappeared instantly.
Wei Siyi, feeling the pain of her miserable life, had her heart twisted and also leaped into the river.
The servants behind initially watched from a distance, thinking that the princess and the prince were playing around. It wasn't until they both jumped into the river that they realized they were actually fighting.
After Shenzhen Xuan and a team of Yulin soldiers arrived first, they inquired about the situation and proceeded to search along the river.
Surprisingly, at a gentle bend, Zhao Tong and Wei Siyi were actually found.
With the Imperial Guard, Luancheng quickly went down the river and rescued the two people.
Unfortunately, the two had been immersed in the water for too long and had no signs of life.
Doctor Wang and others followed the Emperor, while the Third Princess stayed behind and temporarily acted as a doctor.
Even during the time of David, people already knew how to rescue drowning victims.
Furthermore, Shen Xuan, coming from the 21st century, is more adept at rescuing people than those from David's time.
With the persistent efforts of Shen Xuan, Wei Siyi and Zhao Tong suddenly regained consciousness, coughing up water.
Wei Sijun arrived just in time and burst into tears upon seeing her sister wake up, asking, "What were you guys doing?"
"Sister?" Wei Siyi looked confused.
"Sister, I am your younger sister Wei Sijun!" Wei Sijun exclaimed in shock.
