Chapter 288 A lot of discussion
Listening to Concubine Yuan's suggestive words, Xiao Jinrui couldn't help but frown. He really didn't know why his mother would have such an idea.
Although he did feel a little tired during this period, it was because he had too many trivial matters during this period, and it naturally took some time to deal with them. After he dealt with these troubles in the future, he would naturally have time to rest, and by then these minor problems would not be a big deal at all.
Why did she need to make such a big fuss? If she wasn't his mother, he would have suspected that her motives were impure. After all, no man wants to be told that he is not capable! Seeing the eagerness in Concubine Yuan's eyes, Xiao Jinrui didn't refute it. He looked at Concubine Yuan and said perfunctorily:
"Thank you for your concern, Mother. I've been feeling much better lately. I still have a lot of chores to attend to, so I won't keep you here any longer. You should go back first! Once I've finished these chores, I'll go pay my respects to you!"
Even if Xiao Jinrui didn't say much, Concubine Yuan knew all about Xiao Jinrui's situation. After all, he hadn't been to other places to spend the night in recent days. Moreover, she had heard from Yuan Bingfei that when Rui'er went to her yard, he was dealing with official business most of the time.
If his body had not recovered yet, how could he have acted like this! It seemed that she still needed to seek medical advice in secret. Seeing that Xiao Jinrui did not want to say anything more, Concubine Yuan suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and then looked at Xiao Jinrui and said:
"I'm glad you're okay. Although official duties are important, you still need to pay attention to your health. Health is the most important thing. Otherwise, all you have now will end up being a waste of money for others!!"
Mother, I know you dislike my nagging, but I really have to mention these things!
You have rarely visited Bingfei recently, so go see her tonight."
Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Xiao Jinrui quickly nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, mother. I will go to Bingfei in a moment! I respectfully send you off!"
Concubine Yuan looked at Xiao Jinrui's obedience, nodded with satisfaction, and then left with Yuan Quanlin!
"I'll take my leave!" Knowing that Concubine Yuan had something to say to him, Yuan Quanlin saluted with self-awareness and then left with Concubine Yuan.
Xiao Jinrui watched Concubine Yuan and the other girl leave, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. After all, his mother had been very concerned about his health during this period. Could it be that she was hiding something from him? Suppressing his doubts, Xiao Jinrui immediately looked at Gu Qing and said,
"Please investigate secretly to see if the Imperial Concubine has been hiding something from me lately."
"Yes!" Gu Qing immediately agreed to Xiao Jinrui's order and walked outside. Seeing that Concubine Yuan had not walked far, Gu Qing immediately flashed and disappeared.
Yuan Quanlin followed Concubine Yuan out and saw her sad face. He quickly spoke to comfort her:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The royal physician is already thinking of a way to save Prince Rui. Once Xiao Jingchuan returns, he'll be able to find the final ingredient. By then, His Highness Prince Rui will naturally be back to normal!"
Yuan Quanlin's words did not make Concubine Yuan feel relieved. Instead, she became even more worried: "That being said, as long as Rui'er can't recover, I won't be at peace. It would be great if Prince Rui had a son or a daughter, but he has been married for two years now. There are so many concubines in the mansion, but none of them are pregnant. If this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably cause people to talk about it!"
Speaking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Concubine Yuan's eyes. In fact, some people outside have already been talking about it, but now that Rui'er is in power, others dare not talk too much. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. Rui'er having no children is not a long-term solution.
When she thought about how Yuan Bingfei had been pregnant just a few months after her marriage, but she had a miscarriage for unknown reasons, and her body had not recovered yet, when she thought about this unfortunate child, Concubine Yuan's heart ached:
"If Bingfei were still alive, she would have passed away by now! What a pity!"
Seeing Concubine Yuan so sad, Yuan Quanlin quickly said, "It's just that Bingfei is so unlucky that she can't handle the overwhelming wealth!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Quanlin had no regrets. Given Xiao Jinrui's current situation, if Yuan Bingfei's child was born, it would be possible that it would be Xiao Jinrui's only child. And given Xiao Jinrui's current status, wouldn't he be the future crown prince? Their Yuan family would have almost made it to the top. It was a pity that the child had a short life!
Listening to Yuan Quanlin's self-pity, Concubine Yuan's eyes couldn't help but flash with a sharpness. She quickly turned around and looked at Yuan Quanlin and said:
"You said Bingfei's sudden miscarriage was also related to Yuan Peishan and her daughter. After all, if she dared to poison Xiao Jinrui, how could she let Yuan Bingfei, who was pregnant, go?"
Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Yuan Quanlin's eyes darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "This is not impossible! If this matter is really related to Yuan Peishan, then I will definitely not let her go!"
Although they had received news that Xiao Jinrui was deeply convinced that Yuan Peishan was the one who poisoned him, given the viciousness of the mother and daughter, if they knew Bingfei was pregnant with His Royal Highness Prince Rui's child, how could they let her go? But he still couldn't figure out what benefit this would bring to them!
Concubine Yuan naturally had some doubts, but she also knew that if someone was targeted by a jealous woman, no one knew what crazy behavior she would do. Yuan Peishan and her daughter were such an example, each one more vicious than the other!
"Has Yuan Peishan confessed?" As early as when she got the news, she had people control Yuan Peishan and forced her to tell the whereabouts of the antidote. Unexpectedly, she was still a stubborn person. Now that so much time has passed, she still hasn't given in. It seems that she really won't cry until she sees the coffin. If Jiang Wanrong was not unable to move now, she would definitely let them reunite.
"No!! She refused to admit to poisoning Prince Rui. Tell me, is there something else going on?"
When Yuan Peishan was mentioned, a hint of doubt flashed in Yuan Quanlin's eyes. You know, Yuan Peishan was just a weak woman. Even a strong man would tell her everything if those torture instruments were used. But she just refused to admit it.
