77 Something Triggered the Poison (2/2)

Ah Zhen thought over what happened at the wedding banquet and shook her head. ”I'm not sure. Her Highness was enjoying the banquet with everyone else. There were too many people. After a while, Her Highness said she was uncomfortable and decided to return to the palace. She fainted when we reached the carriage. Luckily, Physician Xiao was around.”

”Was there anyone else around the Princess?”

”General Jiang was by Her Highness side.” Ah Zhen looked towards the door as something crossed her mind. ”The General is guarding the princess' palace outside. Perhaps you can find some answer from him.”

Jiang Mingyue instructed Ying Yi to look after the princess, and she headed out. Her brother, Xiao Xian, leaned on a pillar as he waited. Although he had his eyes closed, Mingyue knew that her brother was not asleep.

Xiao Xian opened his eyes and stood up straight when Mingyue came out. ”How is she?”

”Her Highness is alright for now,” Mingyue answered. Although she been saying that the Crown Princess' condition has stabilized, she knew that this time, Princess Lingchen's state this time was worse than the last time. ”Elder Brother, you were staying by the princess' side today. Do you notice anything strange?” Mingyue asked.

Jiang Xiao Xian frowned. His whole body tensed at his sister's question. ”You mean, this time, her illness relapsed because something triggered the poison again?”

Mingyue nodded slowly. ”From the pulse and her condition, it seemed like it.”

Xiao Xian thought over today's event. ”I can't think of anything that might trigger the poison to react. Her Highness was with me and second brother the whole time. Although there were a few people who came over and offered a toast, no one got close to the princess. I can't think of anyone who would want to harm Her Highness.”

Mingyue opened her mouth to ask another question when a eunuch high pitched voice was heard, announcing the arrival of both the Emperor and Empress.
