C125 (2/2)

Xie Jingxi put down the glass in her hand that she had not drunk half a cup for a long time, and concealed a smile, ”Indeed, it's not good to drink, it's just smelling the fragrance, and taking a few bites out of it.”

Zheng Peiru drank a cup of wine without thinking, and then asked with some hesitation. ”Recently, Shen Dong's family doesn't seem to be in the capital, but I don't know where their hometown is, nor where they often go?”

Xie Jingxi was so embarrassed that she was about to get sick, and say that Zheng Peiru looked like a lady from a noble family, why was she so shameless deep down, asking about the situation of a man, not afraid of her reputation being tainted? Moreover, why did she only capture Xie Jingxi to ask? Could it be that he would need to tell her to protect the media in the future?

”Miss Zheng, I really don't know much about Shen Dong's family's situation. Shen Dong's family and I come from the same place, but after so many years of not knowing each other, there are some things I can't say for sure. I'm sorry, but I can't answer.”

Zheng Peiru lowered her eyes in disappointment, ”But she has made it difficult for Mrs. Gu.”

However, because of her identity, she could not speak of it openly, so she would definitely not feel good about it. As long as she was not a lady of Zheng Family, Xie Jingxi would happily lead them together, but looking at Miss Zheng's uncaring attitude, she was afraid that she would run away from home to find a lover. At that time, even if she did not say it, she would not be able to explain clearly.

As Xie Jingxi was in an awkward position, she suddenly heard a shout from the His Majesty, which was quickly followed by chaos. Xie Jingxi took a glance and vaguely heard that something happened in the Second Prince.

It was indeed Second Prince Xiao Ruochuan, and for some reason, he suddenly fainted and his body spasmed uncontrollably, causing everyone to panic. His Majesty urgently summoned Imperial Physician, but Imperial Noble Consort Shen suddenly ran over as if she had lost her soul, and pushed through the crowd of people to pounce onto Second Prince, ”Chuan'er, are you alright? Why are you still standing there? Why aren't you helping Second Prince back to his chamber? ”

Xie Jingxi suddenly remembered about Gu Wan and wanted to go over to take a look, but unfortunately, Second Prince was tightly covering him, and could not really see clearly. She only heard Imperial Noble Consort Shen shouting, ”Second Prince can't drink chrysanthemum wine, why don't you guys know how to persuade him a little!”

At first, Second Prince did not drink any alcohol, but later on, he only drank some fruit wine, and no one saw when he drank the chrysanthemum wine, but now that he had already done this, arguing was useless. Under the orders of Imperial Noble Consort Shen, the maids and eunuchs led Second Prince back to his quarters.

Although His Majesty didn't say anything, he looked extremely displeased. Everyone was worried for Second Prince, and didn't know what exactly had happened, but according to Imperial Noble Consort Shen's words, Second Prince was allergic to chrysanthemums and was not allowed to drink chrysanthemum wine, so it was unknown if he had forgotten to drink by mistake just now or if the person drinking the wine didn't notice it. In short, everything was in a mess without any clues, and they could only hope that Second Prince was alright.

If Second Prince was allergic to chrysanthemums, then he himself should be very careful, and it's not like such a big person would not take it lightly, but if someone purposefully gave him the chrysanthemum wine, then it would be of a different nature. Second Prince was a sensitive person, and if something happened to him, it would lead to a struggle, and it was no wonder that His Majesty's face would turn ugly.

Xie Jingxi was curious about Imperial Noble Consort Shen's reaction. Of course, when her own son fainted because of an incident, even a mother would lose control over herself, but Imperial Noble Consort Shen's behavior was different from other people's. When she heard that Second Prince had lost control of herself, her first reaction was to be terrified, so it was normal that she wouldn't have such a reaction. The moment Xie Jingxi saw lose control of herself, then Imperial Noble Consort Shen covered it up really well.

After His Majesty left, everyone went back to their own homes. Fang Dai was waiting outside the banquet, the moment she got in, he immediately ran over to Xie Jingxi's side, ”Madam, have you drank that chrysanthemum flower wine before? Are you alright? ”

Xie Jingxi patted her hand, ”It's nothing, I just drank a little. It's not because of the chrysanthemum wine, don't worry.”

Therefore, Fang Dai did not ask anymore, and accompanied Xie Jingxi into the carriage before speaking again: ”Mistress, you should still be careful when entering the palace. Try not to drink, if you can't, you can't too, there's too many people in the palace, and it's not like I can't always follow you, it's too dangerous.”

”I will pay attention, this is an accident on Second Prince's part, I don't know if anything will happen to him, if he is really allergic, then it is not a joke.”

However, Xie Jingxi thought that if she saw Second Prince, he would see him standing right in front of the chrysanthemum, and did not have any intention of dodging it. Whether Second Prince was truly allergic or had some other secret, it was unknown, but there was definitely something fishy going on today.

The horse carriage slowly moved forward, and Xie Jingxi closed her eyes to rest his mind, his mind filled with the chaotic scene today. It was currently noon, and the beautiful sunlight was shining upon the autumn tigers' posture, causing the pedestrians on the street to be bustling, the Gu family's horse carriage ride on the road was extremely spacious.

It was fortunate that there weren't many pedestrians on the road, so it didn't bump into many people. Although the horse was fast, it still knew how to avoid pedestrians and stalls. Aside from raising dust along the way, there were no accidents. Just that, he did not expect that there would be a carriage in the middle of the road, and when he realised it, he was already very close, but he was already unable to control his speed, and just like that he directly smashed into Xie Jingxi's carriage.
