"Aunt, Father is feeling better today. I found a renowned physician to treat him."
Ye Shaorong turned to look at Su Luo, whom Ye Yueze had brought back. This woman was the one Ye Beihan had brought back.
Although Ye Shaorong had never seen Su Luo's true face, she had seen her portrait.
She is the eldest princess of Beiliang, the younger sister of the Beiliang emperor, and the mother of Ye Qianning. Since the Beiliang emperor fell ill, many powers have fallen into her hands.
But she could never defeat Ye Beihan. If the Emperor of Beiliang were to pass away, she would have no power to resist.
Ye Beihan even sent Qian Ning to Nanning for a political marriage in order to fight her, but she ended up dying far from home. How could she not hate him for this?
But if you were to say what she hated most, it would be Nanning, and everyone in Nanning, especially the people in the imperial court.
Su Luo never expected that as soon as she entered the main hall, she would be stabbed between the eyebrows by a feeling of hatred.
Ye Shaorong looked at her, and her gaze also went to the woman at the same time. Ye Yueze called her aunt, so she must be the eldest princess of Beiliang.
"Your Majesty is still the same as ever. Yueze, who is this lady you brought with you?"
This is the Northern Liang Imperial Palace. Ye Yueze didn't know how to introduce Su Luo's identity. She was the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Nanning, and was an entity that was opposed to Northern Liang.
If his father's condition hadn't worsened again, he wouldn't have dared to bring Su Luo into the palace so rashly, as it would have been bad for both Su Luo and his brother.
"Aunt, she is my friend."
Su Luo stepped forward and bowed to Ye Shaorong: "My name is Su Luo, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Nanning. I have always heard that the Princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and seeing her today, I can confirm that it is true."
The princess had quickly concealed the hatred in her eyes, but Su Luopu caught it in that instant.
There is no love or hate without a reason in the world, so she deduced that this princess must know her identity.
"The Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Nanning, isn't that Princess Yu?"
Su Luo didn't deliberately hide her identity and replied with a smile, "Yes! I am Princess Yu."
Ye Shaorong's expression fell, and she suppressed her emotions.
Seeing the coldness in their voices, Ye Yueze quickly interrupted them.
"Aunt, Father's condition is serious. Let the Vice Minister of Agriculture take a look first."
Ye Yueze strode to the dragon bed, but Su Luo behind him was blocked by Ye Shaorong's body.
"Yueze, we can't let anyone from Nanning come to see my brother. If she has any ill intentions, my brother will be in danger."
Su Luo wasn't angry about being blocked, since she didn't absolutely need to see the Northern Liang Emperor for his illness.
He couldn't even get up, and there were bruises under his eyes, which seemed like a sign that a lot of toxins had accumulated in his body.
“Aunt, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture wouldn’t harm Father. She’s an official from Nanning. What good would it do her or Nanning to harm Father?”
Ye Qianning died in Nanning, and Ye Yueze knew that his aunt harbored an indelible hatred for Nanning.
Today, anyone who comes here, regardless of whether they are Su Luo or not, as long as they are from Nanning, will be targeted by her aunt.
"Forget it, Seventh Prince, there's no need to make things difficult. There are doctors in Beiliang whose medical skills are better than mine. I'll just go back to the Regent's Palace today."
Ye Shaorong frowned: "Wait, what did you say? You live in Ye Beihan's mansion?"
She only knew that Ye Beihan had brought back a woman, but she never expected that he would arrange for her to stay in his mansion.
Thinking of her foolish daughter, how could she have fallen for that wicked beast Ye Beihan, even going to Nanning for him under the guise of a marriage alliance, only to lose her life in the end?
Su Luo did not answer her, but Ye Yueze rushed out again, blocking Su Luo's way and fighting against Ye Shaorong together with her.
“Aunt, now is not the time to ask these questions. I invited the Vice Minister of Agriculture today. She had no idea that Father was ill before.”
"Besides, I've always known about my aunt and brother's situation; I just didn't want to get involved."
Ye Yueze continued speaking, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I originally thought that my aunt was the one who most wanted my father to get better. Without my father, what would my aunt use to fight against my brother?"
Ye Shaorong was speechless. She hoped that her brother would get better and live on.
All her rights were given to her by her elder brother, otherwise she wouldn't have had the power to resist Ye Beihan.
But deep down, she didn't want her brother to recover. Living like this, half-dead, was what she could control and what she longed for.
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, thank you for your trouble. Please take a look at my father."
Ye Yueze pulled Su Luo to the dragon bed, and even brought her a stool and a wrist pillow.
Su Luo sat down and took the pulse of the Northern Liang emperor. The pulse was deep and unfathomable, and the breath was faint. Judging from the pulse, the body was completely drained and the emperor was too weak to get up.
The spleen and stomach pulses show no tension or elasticity, leading to a complete loss of appetite, which should be anorexia.
But Su Luo's medical skills have long surpassed just pulse diagnosis. A superior doctor can discern the internal condition of a patient simply by observing their facial features and physique.
If it were anorexia, he wouldn't be lying so peacefully in bed. People with poor spleen function are destined to be constipated, with insufficient heat in the small intestine and excessively rapid peristalsis in the large intestine. But the Emperor of Northern Liang had none of these.
Therefore, Su Luo still believed in her initial diagnosis: the Emperor of Beiliang was poisoned. As for what kind of poison, she would have to ask the people of Beiliang themselves.
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, how is it? Can you tell what illness my father has?"
Seeing that Su Luo had withdrawn her hand, Ye Yueze quickly asked.
"I've been poisoned. It's a slow-acting poison, and I've had it for at least ten years."
Ye Shaorong glanced at Su Luo and sneered: "Anyone can call themselves a miracle doctor now. My brother's health has only deteriorated in recent years. If he had been poisoned for ten years, why didn't anyone notice?"
Furthermore, every dish the Emperor ate was tasted by eunuchs, so why were the eunuchs unharmed, while the Emperor himself was poisoned?
After saying that, she walked over to Su Luo and Ye Yueze and mocked, "I think Yueze, you've been fooled too."
Ye Yueze knew that his aunt was resentful and looked down on the Deputy Minister of Agriculture.
“Vice Minister of Agriculture, I believe you. I will investigate in detail how Father was poisoned, but the key is how to cure the poison and save Father.”
As he spoke, Ye Yueze bowed deeply to Su Luo: "Vice Minister of Agriculture, please set aside past grievances and tell me the method of treatment."
Su Luo took a damp cloth and wiped her hands. She couldn't cure this poison, but she hoped that stirring up trouble in the royal family would make Ye Beihan less likely to keep a close eye on her.
"Seventh Prince, to be honest, when it comes to using poison, I am not as good as your brother, and when it comes to antidotes, I am not as good as him either."
Ye Beihan is a renowned expert in poison making in Beiliang. With Su Luo's guidance, a seed of doubt must have been planted in Ye Yueze's mind.
Could the perfect older brother in his heart harm his father?
"My brother? My brother he..."
