Xuan Yuanche hurriedly asked, "Even you don't have a way to cure the poison?"
“If it were ordinary poison, it could be cured naturally. But since other things were added to it, there’s no time to prepare an antidote,” Xuan Yuan Ye said.
At this moment, the sky began to lighten.
Xuan Yuanche pursed his lips: "I'm going to the Eighth Prince's residence."
If it really was Xu Lingqing who did it, she should hand over the antidote, and he would pretend this never happened. If she refused to hand it over, whatever might happen to Xuanyuan Ming.
He will not give up easily.
From that moment on, he severed all ties with Xu Lingqing.
early morning
Someone knocked on the door of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
When the butler saw the person who came, he hurriedly turned around to report the news. Xu Lingqing had just gotten up when she heard that Xuan Yuanche had arrived, and she was overjoyed.
They've definitely come to apologize.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince must know that his attitude yesterday was too much, so he came to apologize early on." The maid said excitedly.
Xu Lingqing also recalled yesterday, and she was really angry with the two brothers. She even cried after returning home. However, her anger subsided a lot because of Xuan Yuanche's apology.
But she didn't want to let them off so easily.
"Just say I'm not feeling well and I won't see anyone."
The maid was surprised.
Xu Lingqing curled her lips into a sly smile and said with an inscrutable expression, "Let them worry about it."
She's not a pet that can be pampered at will, summoned and dismissed at will. They should be taught a lesson!
The maid gave Xu Lingqing a thumbs up: "The princess is intelligent!"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xuan Yuanche was taken aback when he heard this.
"Indeed, my princess went into labor yesterday after returning home. She cried a lot and didn't rest until before dawn. The doctor said that the princess's body was already weak, and this pregnancy was hard-won. She can't be agitated any further. Second Prince, please return home."
Xuan Yuanche took a deep breath: "Go and tell the Eighth Princess Consort that I have something very important to discuss."
"No matter how important the matter, it shouldn't disturb the Princess's rest. Second Prince, please don't make things difficult for me." The maid pursed her lips and whispered, "The Second Prince is really something. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?"
These words were clearly a complaint against Xuan Yuanche for his misdeeds.
What's the use of regretting it now?
Just then, Zhao Zhiyan came out, frowned and glanced at Xuan Yuanche. Xuan Yuanche immediately said, "Eighth Prince, I want to see the Eighth Princess."
Zhao Zhiyan scoffed: "These past few days, you've been able to see each other whenever you wanted and gather whenever you wanted. When have I ever stopped you?"
Xuanyuan Che was speechless.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has had a miscarriage and is resting. She is not seeing anyone," the maid said.
She thought that her words would elicit Zhao Zhiyan's pity, but to her surprise, Zhao Zhiyan's mockery deepened upon hearing it.
He turned and left in a huff.
Without even pausing.
It seemed as if he didn't care about Xu Lingqing or the child in her womb at all.
The maid was somewhat taken aback. Had she not explained herself clearly enough? Why did the prince leave without even turning his head?
"Go and report this right now!" Xuan Yuanche roared, startling the maid. Her eyes met Xuan Yuanche's icy expression, and she quickly went back to report.
Upon seeing Xu Lingqing, the maid began to weep and complain: "Your Highness, I told you what to say, but the Second Prince seems very angry and insists on seeing you. He doesn't seem to be here to apologize at all; he seems to be here to interrogate you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingqing frowned: "You're here to interrogate me?"
"Could it be because of Miss Linghu?"
Thinking of that bitch, Xu Lingqing felt a faint throbbing pain in her lower abdomen. She took a deep breath, touched her lower abdomen, and an unnamed anger welled up from the bottom of her heart: "I won't see anyone! I'm not feeling well today, I won't see anyone!"
After waiting for an hour without seeing Xu Lingqing come out, Xuan Yuanche's patience gradually ran out, and his clenched fists cracked.
The butler trembled with fear, terrified that the fist would land on his head.
"Go tell Xu Lingqing, if you don't see me today, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future!" Xuan Yuanche said angrily.
The maidservant retorted, "Second Prince, there's no need to say more. The Princess Consort will not see you. You may leave."
"good!"
Xuan Yuanche left in a huff, his prejudice against Xu Lingqing growing stronger, and impatience welling up inside him. He wandered aimlessly down the street.
A beautiful figure came into view.
Miss Linghu!
The two approached each other, and Miss Linghu said anxiously, "I heard something happened in the next courtyard. Has someone been poisoned?"
Xuan Yuanche narrowed his eyes.
"I know someone who has a miraculous antidote."
Xuan Yuanche asked warily, "Who?"
"Princess!"
...
"Four years ago, the Crown Princess captured a medicine man whose blood was an excellent antidote that could cure all poisons."
"Where is he now?" Xuan Yuanche pressed.
Miss Linghu was taken aback, but she forced herself to say, "She was bled dry by the Crown Princess and died."
Xuan Yuanche looked suspicious.
"My father was bitten by a poisonous snake, and it was the Crown Princess who gave him a bottle of blood to use as medicine, which saved his life."
Hearing what Miss Linghu said, Xuan Yuanche hesitated for a long time but still sent his invitation to enter the palace, prepared to be rejected.
To my utter surprise, Song Yue actually met him.
They were very generous in their hospitality.
Song Yue sat in a chair wrapped in a cloak, her fair face slightly pale, and her bright, watery eyes held a hint of cunning: "This blood medicine is indeed rare, and I would not easily take it out. The Second Prince should have already inquired about my reputation; I am not a soft-hearted person."
Seeing her so direct, Xuan Yuanche felt much more at ease: "What does the Crown Princess want?"
Song Yue stroked her chin: "A person who can make the Second Prince actively seek medicine must be of high status. Second Prince, how about... ten thousand taels of silver for a drop of blood?"
