Chapter 505: Going to Death Together
Let him go? Not necessarily. Maybe he wanted to keep a witness. The old doctor knew about the incident. Whether his mother knew who was behind him was another matter. But as long as he was there, it would be a time bomb for Shen Nian.
But then again, why would Shen Nian let the old doctor go?
"Back then, my people were always on guard against Luo Yunmei's attack on Yixia..." Prince De suddenly started coughing uncontrollably. The bloody smell in the cell overwhelmed the strangeness on his handkerchief, but Shen Yu still saw it.
When he spoke again, his voice had returned to its previous calmness, "Luo Yunmei wanted to give Yixia a slow-acting drug to cause her to bleed heavily during childbirth, but I had people in the Shen Mansion, so the bowl of medicine was replaced every time. Unfortunately, something happened to her in the end..."
"That means she prepared the medicine herself..." His voice became lower and lower, with self-blame and regret.
"You said Yixia was seven months pregnant before sending you away?" asked the second uncle of the Su family who had been silent. As the former Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he thought he was a failure and couldn't even see through his sister's act.
"Yes..." The old doctor's voice was a little hoarse, and he began to cough up blood. It should be that his internal organs were injured. "Madam likes to make spices by herself, so she sends people to me from time to time to get medicinal materials."
"It's my fault..." Upon hearing this, the second uncle of the Su family finally changed his expression. His muttering voice was too soft and Shen Yu basically didn't hear it, so he looked at his eldest uncle.
He opened his eyes for a long time but didn't answer. He looked at his brother, then at his niece, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Yixia understands medical principles, and..." It was the second uncle who spoke, "and she loves to listen to my analysis of the case. She knows every detail of the crime clearly. There was once a case where a concubine used spices to cause the wife to have a difficult delivery, resulting in two deaths..."
Shen Yu has always known that there was something hidden behind her mother's death, but no one expected that she was so good at hiding things... Her life has been a man-made tragedy from beginning to end since she met Shen Nian.
How desperate must a mother be to take her ten-year-old daughter and the baby in her belly with her to die together...
Shen Yu suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had traveled through time earlier, could she have saved that woman whose intelligence was not enough to describe her?
"No one of you is allowed to reveal what happened today. Do you hear me?" Yu Ying stood at the dog hole outside the courtyard gate and gave instructions to the three little kids. Oh, there was also a wolf following them.
Since bringing Lightning back to the palace, Shen Yu's pet has rebelled. It found that it had more food to eat with the children during the day! But the owner stared at its stomach and sighed every night. What's wrong with having a stomach? Didn't she have it before?
"And you are not allowed to come here again!" Yu Ying stared at the three people and the wolf seriously and added.
Just after finishing today's homework, she saw Yang'er, Meng'er and Tian'er discussing something, and then they ran away stealthily?
Since the eldest brother and brothers Tian and Su were not around, she took the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. Although Yu Tian was one year older than her, her sister said that actual age was not equal to mental age.
"But this is our secret base? My sister said that every child should have his own secret base." The little kid named Yu Nie Yang retorted.
Looking at the three pairs of confused eyes, Yu Ying felt that she was really worried. Her sister just loved to mislead the children casually!!!
"Yes, yes, we discovered this place first!" Meng'er puffed up her cheeks and asked Yu Tian, "When did my brother-in-law build a black house in our secret base?"
In Meng'er's opinion, this was just an unwanted yard. Her sister told them to choose a place in the mansion to play hide-and-seek, but the prerequisite was that it would not affect the work of the servants in the mansion.
They carefully selected this place. No one comes here on weekdays, but the fallen leaves in the yard will disappear automatically. It's perfect!
"That proves that we have good vision. Otherwise, why would my brother-in-law come to compete with us for territory?" Yu Tian said confidently.
"What! No! I'm going to inherit the position of the head of the family in the future, so I have to take back the territory!" Yang'er, who is about to turn four years old, has a clear plan for his future career. He wants to follow in his father's footsteps and become the king of the snow mountain outside Zhuocheng!
Yuying couldn't look up at the sky. The four-year age gap was indeed too big...
I had no choice but to wave at them and said, "Can I discuss something with you?"
The three little ones that were chirping suddenly stopped and looked at her curiously.
Yu Ying instantly understood why her sister liked to fool children, because it was efficient!!
She took out a few candies from her bag and gave one to each person, including Lightning. "This is hush money. Come with me. I found a new base that is more perfect."
She didn't like sweets, so the candies in her small bag kept piling up, which came in handy at times like this to bribe the little ghosts.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. Yang Er was the first one to jump and follow her, "I want to go, I want to go. I'll go with you."
"Come back! I'm the oldest here! I'm the boss!"
Yu Ying squatted down and hugged Lightning's snow-white fur. He raised his hand to smooth its fur and said, "Lightning, do you think we should go? Don't we want this base anymore?"
Lightning sniffed her, then stood up and left decisively: This girl has no candy on her, get out!
Yu Ying tilted his head and looked at the people walking away, then followed them in a daze.
Of course, the secret guards immediately reported the situation outside to the prince and princess. Shen Yu waved his hand and told them to have fun. There would be no danger with Lightning following them. Anyway, the secret guards couldn't get into dog holes or anything like that.
On normal days, the old men would have happily discussed the little jokes of these brats, but today no one was in the mood.
It was already dusk when the group left the prison. Not long after they left, they looked up and saw a young boy walking slowly not far away. He was holding a little girl in his hand. When he saw Shen Yu, he ran over excitedly and said, "Princess, my mother is awake!"
The person who came was Yun Yan. His mother and sister had been awake for two hours. The servants in the mansion said that the princess and others were busy, but he really couldn't wait any longer, so he had to bring his sister out to look for them. Unexpectedly, he really met them.
Shen Yu's eyes fell on the little girl. The clothes she wore were not luxurious, but the material was better than Yun Yan's. Maybe she just woke up, and her hair was messy.
When the little girl saw them, she wanted to hide behind her brother, but her brother kept pushing her out. So she had to stand there at a loss, with tears almost coming out.
Shen Yu felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw Yan Yun's straight man behavior, so he took the initiative to step forward.
The little girl raised her head blankly and met Shen Yu's gentle smile. She just thought that this sister was so beautiful, like a fairy.
Shen Yu just squatted down and got closer to the little girl, only to find that there was a shallow scar on her face?
