"Your Highness, why did you kill her?" This was the first time that Su Mengyan actually saw someone being killed, and it was Situ Yao who did it himself.
Fangcao opened her eyes and fell facing Su Mengyan. Her eyes, which would never move again, expressed her hatred.
Su Mengyan didn't dare to look anymore and stood somewhere else.
Situ Yao threw the bloody sword aside and asked, "Are you scared?"
"She framed you before. Don't you want to kill her?" Situ Yao's innate concept made him not value the life of a palace maid.
"I just want to prove my innocence. I don't want her life," Su Mengyan's voice trembled a little. She thought Situ Yao would at most drive Fang Fangcao out, but she didn't expect that he would actually kill her.
"Even if I didn't do it, she wouldn't have survived. Anyone who dares to murder the princess should have considered the consequences." Situ Yao turned and instructed the others, "Clean up this place and leave no traces."
Two people involved in the poisoning died in succession. Bi Wu, with a pale face, told Cui Mixue about Fang Cao's experience, "Miss, will His Highness investigate us?"
"What are you afraid of?" Cui Mixue was not only not afraid, but also very happy. "It would be better if they were all dead, so we don't have to do it ourselves. Besides, the dead won't stand up to testify, so who would think it was us who did it."
"But Miss, His Highness really won't suspect anything?" Bi Wu was still very scared. "And Su Mengyan, will she guess it?"
"As long as you behave yourself and don't reveal anything, nothing will happen." Cui Mixue instructed her with a cold face.
Su Mengyan's suspicion was gone, but there was still no antidote for Yun Fu's poison.
Qing Feng told her the requirements of the miracle doctor at the foot of the mountain. Su Mengyan couldn't help but grumble in a low voice, "All miracle doctors in novels must have quirks."
The original novel featured a miraculous doctor named Xiaoyaozi, but his appearances were rare, with each appearance being limited to a few episodes. The only thing Su Mengyan remembered was that this doctor seemed to have a particular fondness for food. Rich people couldn't afford him, but as long as there was something he hadn't tried, he would nod and agree.
Su Mengyan's cooking skills were average, but she knew how to cook many things that no one here had ever eaten. With an idea in mind, she ran to find Situ Yao.
When Situ Yao heard that she had a solution, he didn't believe it at first. "I have already sent someone back to the capital to get the Night Pearl from the South Sea. I will then exchange it for the Purple Jade Lotus."
The South China Sea Night Pearl! That's priceless, and I heard there are only two in the world. Situ Yao actually said he'd trade it! Even though it wasn't hers, Su Mengyan still felt incredibly distressed.
She quickly stopped Situ Yao's actions, "Your Highness, I've heard of this miracle doctor before, and I really have a way."
Seeing that her tone was serious and didn't seem like she was lying, Situ Yao finally wavered and said, "Tell me your plan."
"Didn't the Divine Doctor say he wanted the most important thing for Your Highness? Your Highness, you can take me there." Su Mengyan had just finished speaking when she saw a rather strange look on Situ Yao's face. She realized she had said something wrong. "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant. It's just that the Divine Doctor doesn't know what Your Highness treasures most, so we can pretend."
"The miracle doctor has saved countless lives. It's not appropriate for you and me to deceive him like this." Situ Yao wanted to get the Purple Jade Lotus by fair means, rather than being accused of having a moral flaw in the future.
Su Mengyan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this is definitely not a lie. The Divine Doctor will not be angry, but will be very happy."
"Oh? Why is that?" Situ Yao asked curiously.
Su Mengyan told Situ Yao her plan and promised solemnly, "Your Highness, please trust me. As long as you do as I just said, the doctor will definitely agree."
"And the doctor said that the princess only has three days left. If we can't get the antidote, there will be no way to save her." Su Mengyan continued to lobby Situ Yao.
A long time passed, but he still didn't nod. She only heard Situ Yao's cold voice ask her, "I locked you up in the woodshed before, don't you blame me? Why did you help Yunfu find the antidote?"
"The princess was poisoned because of me. If I hadn't sent her cakes, the cook wouldn't have found the opportunity to poison her, and what happened later wouldn't have happened." Su Mengyan told the truth, and she liked Yun Fu's personality very much, and couldn't bear to see her die like this.
Situ Yao looked at her deeply for a while, and finally nodded, "Go and get ready, we will go down the mountain later."
Su Mengyan left with a smile on her face. She didn't need to prepare anything else. She just needed to make another dessert. She put the finished dessert in the ice box and went down the mountain with Situ Yao.
The kid who opened the door for them was the same kid from last time. He raised his head and looked at Situ Yao and the others. "Did you bring the most precious thing, young master?"
"I brought it. Where's the miracle doctor?" Situ Yao didn't want to waste words talking to a little kid.
"Where is it?" The kid, not afraid of strangers, started looking for it right in front of Situ Yao. "Young Master, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
Su Mengyan looked as if she had seen a ghost. This was no longer a child, but a cunning person. Fortunately, they were not lying. Although they did not bring Situ Yao's most precious thing, they did find the miracle doctor's favorite.
"Little kid, tell me where the miracle doctor is, okay?" Su Mengyan squatted down slightly and said in a tone as if she was about to kidnap a child, "As long as you tell me where the miracle doctor is, I'll give you this to eat."
The little kid carefully looked at the dessert in Su Mengyan's hand and couldn't help swallowing. Finally, he shook his head firmly, "No, Master said that I must exchange it for the most precious thing."
"I am this young master's most precious possession." Su Mengyan said shamelessly, not looking embarrassed at all, but rather a little shy. "Go in and tell the doctor that this young master has brought the person here."
The little boy looked at Su Mengyan in confusion, then asked Situ Yao, "Is that really the case?"
"Of course, just go and tell the miracle doctor." Situ Yao had a blank expression on his face. To make it more realistic, he even held Su Mengyan in his arms.
The little boy walked into the house with a puzzled look in his eyes, and came out after a while, "Master asked you to come in."
Su Mengyan carefully guarded the ice box as she walked beside Situ Yao. Before entering the house, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, if I can convince the Divine Doctor to give us the Purple Jade Lotus, can you give me the South China Sea Night Pearl in exchange?"
This deal is fair! Su Mengyan thought to herself.
Situ Yao answered her before crossing the threshold, "What do you think?"
