Quick Wear: The Rescue Plan of the Male Supporting Actor of the Popular Cannon Fodder

Chapter 109: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ling stopped immediately as he was about to pick up some food.

The Mausoleum Queen also looked at Wen Yang in shock, "Ayang, what does this mean? The eunuchs who tasted the food before are still alive... How could it be poisonous..."

Wen Yang shook his head and explained, "Mother, I once read in a book that this aquatic plant, called kelp, is fine if consumed in small amounts. However, frequent consumption can lead to the accumulation of toxins, and the hallmarks of poisoning are neck swelling, insomnia, chest tightness, and excessive sweating... And even a simple pulse check wouldn't reveal these symptoms... They could easily be misdiagnosed as other conditions..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ling's expression instantly darkened. He happened to have all these symptoms.

It turns out it’s not autumn dryness, but poisoning?

Furthermore, the eunuch Rengui, who was standing beside him, said that when the Second Prince had the aquatic plant delivered back to the palace, he had told him that regular consumption of the plant would prolong life...

Wen Yang clearly saw the change in Emperor Ling's expression. She secretly curled the corners of her lips, and then said in a panic, "Father, Second Brother probably didn't send this to you on purpose... If he knew it would be poisonous, he probably wouldn't have sent it to you..."

When Emperor Ling heard this, his face suddenly turned even darker.

When Wen Yang saw Ling Huang's expression, he knew that a seed of doubt had been planted in Ling Huang's heart.

As for whether Wen Fengye gave it intentionally or unintentionally, she believed that her father had his own way to find out.

So during this meal, no one touched the plate of black kelp.

After the meal, Emperor Ling did not stay in Fengxi Palace for long. He asked Rengui to give Wen Yang the jade Linglong waist pendant and a jade flowing cloud hairpin that were tributed by Jiang State, and then left in a hurry.

After the Emperor left, the Empress dismissed all the palace servants in the hall, then sighed and said, "Ayang, why did you say such words about your second brother in front of your father? Your father might feel resentful towards your second brother because of this..."

Wen Yang shook his head. "Mother, if my second brother sent the kelp back to the palace unintentionally, then Father wouldn't have held a grudge against him. But if he did it on purpose..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but the implication was already obvious.

Although she was 100% sure that Wen Fengye did it on purpose, she couldn't tell Queen Ling directly at this moment, so she could only express it in such an obscure way.

After hearing Wen Yang's words, the Queen's expression became somewhat solemn. She naturally also heard the hidden meaning in Wen Yang's words.

If it was intentional, then this matter is serious...

After hearing this, a look of worry appeared in the eyes of the Queen.

"Mother, if my second brother really has ulterior motives, I hope you won't plead for him then." Wen Yang said calmly.

"This..." The Queen hesitated to speak. If this child, whom she had raised for over ten years, had really committed such a crime, the punishment would surely be severe. If she really had to watch him being punished, she would not be able to bear it.

"Mother." Wen Yang called again.

The Queen then responded, "Okay, I promise you."

After a while, Rengui delivered the two gifts given by Emperor Ling to Fengxi Palace.

The two gifts bestowed by the Emperor were both jadeite. One was a jadeite waist pendant, flawless and impure, of exceptional quality. The jade was smooth and warm, and the carving was incredibly detailed. It even had a tiny plum blossom on it! The moment Wen Yang saw it, he felt that this waist pendant would be a perfect match for Ling Han!

The other piece is a jadeite flowing cloud hairpin, which is also made of jadeite with extremely fine water content. The hairpin is carved with flowing clouds that symbolize auspiciousness, and is exquisite and lifelike.

When the Empress saw the two items in the exquisite wooden box, she smiled and said, "Your father is really good to you. These two items are treasures that Jiang Kingdom sent as tribute. Concubine Xuan has been coveting them for a long time, but your father has never agreed to give them to her. So he kept them for you."

Wen Yang smiled brightly and said sweetly to Empress Ling, "It's not just my father who's kind to me. My mother is also kind to me. I will definitely come to the palace more often to visit you and my father in the future."

"Okay, okay, I know you're a sweet talker." The Queen smiled and poked Wen Yang's cheek.

Afterwards, Wen Yang chatted with the Queen for a while until she wanted to rest for a while, and then she said goodbye and left the palace.

......

After returning to the princess's mansion, Qiuju told her that the chief attendants had already left, and now only Ling Han lived in the back courtyard.

So Wen Yang called out to Ling Han while running towards the backyard holding the wooden box.

Ling Han was sitting leisurely on a stone bench at this moment, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and reading attentively.

Suddenly, light footsteps broke the surrounding silence, accompanied by a girl's crisp call: "Ling Han, are you there?"

Hearing this voice, Ling Han raised his eyes and saw that Wen Yang had already arrived at the gate of the back courtyard, holding an exquisite wooden box, his little face flushed, and he seemed to have jogged all the way, still breathing slightly.

Ling Han stood up from the stone bench, walked to Wen Yang, and asked softly, "Your Highness, what do you want from me?"

Wen Yang smiled as he opened the wooden box in his hand, took out the exquisite jade waist pendant carved with plum blossoms, and handed it to Ling Han, "Here, this is for you!"

However, the moment Ling Han's gaze touched the waist pendant, it instantly became extremely cold.

Even his pupils suddenly contracted. He grabbed Wen Yang's wrist and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this thing?"
