The dust had barely settled on the imperial examination scandal when another major incident rocked Shengjing.
In Prince Wen's Mansion, a consort attempted to poison the pregnant Princess Consort in a scheme to murder the unborn heir. Fortunately, the Princess Consort and her child were blessed with good fortune, for a female doctor happened to be delivering medicine to the mansion on the day the poison took effect, saving her and her child at the brink of death. However, the resentful consort, refusing to accept her failure, vented her anger on the female doctor and sent someone to secretly assassinate her, but she was accidentally saved by a guard from the Prince's Mansion.
It was only when the criminals confessed their backers while in custody at the Patrol House that people became aware of this court case.
