Chapter 97 is too miserable!◇
When Tian saw Zhu Xi shouting out in public that she had harmed Lu, she was extremely panicked. She also knew that if this matter was exposed, even Prime Minister Hu might not be able to save her. Therefore, she thought of going all out and silencing both Nanny Deng and Lu today. Even if the fifth grandson wanted to speak up for Lu, she would be left without any evidence and could say that it was the fifth grandson who held a grudge against her because of the incident at the villa and deliberately framed her!
"Madame Fu, go tell all the guards to close the doors to the front and back yards! No one is allowed to enter or leave!" Tian first instructed the trusted nanny beside her, then shouted to Ruan:
"Guard Ruan, stop wasting time with these people and capture them immediately! With the exception of the Fifth Emperor's grandson, anyone who resists will be killed, regardless of life or death!"
Ruan Da cursed in his heart after hearing this:
Do you think I don't want to end this quickly?! It's not as simple as you think! You foolish woman! You're only capable of causing trouble! And you dare give me orders?! If you couldn't even keep an eye on a servant, how could this situation have come to this?
Ruan Da really couldn't understand why his master, such a shrewd and scheming man, was so bewitched by a fool like Tian, allowing her to torture his wife in every way and not doing anything! No matter how much they tried to persuade him, he just ignored them!
But now that Tian had already caused this trouble, for the sake of Hu Xiang's reputation, Ruan Da couldn't just sit back and watch! Therefore, at this moment, he actually had the same idea as Tian: to kill Madam Deng first to silence her!
But the boy in front of him was too difficult to deal with. Knowing that he was no match for him, he tried his best to deal with him and refused to fight him in a real fight... But Ruan Da couldn't break through him to help the other guards or kill Aunt Deng.
Jiang Ruan was so majestic that he was about to soar into the sky!
…
Zhou Jin was still fighting, while Mu Qingni took Zhou Dai directly to the princess's residence. In Dayan, apart from the princes, only the princess's residence had private soldiers...
After explaining the situation to Princess Ningguo, Princess Ningguo heard that her nephew had fought with the guards of the Hu Mansion again in order to save a woman. Although she didn't know the reason, she still lent Mu Qingni three hundred private soldiers and asked her to take them to help her nephew.
So Mu Qingni quickly selected three hundred soldiers and took Zhou Dai and others to rush towards Prime Minister Hu's mansion.
After arriving at the Hu Mansion, they found that all the doors of the mansion were closed. Hu Kui, the chief steward of the Hu Mansion, hurried out to greet them!
Seeing that it was Mu Qingni who came with troops, Hu Kui was shocked. He knew that Mu Qingni's presence at this time must be about something in the mansion. But what surprised Hu Kui was how Mu Qingni got the news so quickly?! He had clearly surrounded the entire mansion the moment he received the news, forcing no one to enter or leave.
"General Mu, may I ask why you brought your troops here?"
Hu Kui could only ask with gritted teeth.
"Someone told me that your Hu family was so audacious as to place the fifth grandson under house arrest, so I came to take a look."
Mu Qingni said directly.
"General Mu, please be careful with your words! The fifth imperial grandson has been ordered to check the accounts in our house. We are busy treating him as a distinguished guest, so how dare we put him under house arrest? This is a serious crime, how can you detain him just like that?" Hu Kui retorted immediately after hearing this.
"If you dare, just open the door and let us in to take a look. Otherwise, you can ask Zhu Xi to come out..." Mu Qingni said lightly.
Hu Kui...
There was still a fight going on inside, so Hu Kui didn't dare to let them in, and there was no way to let Zhu Xi out. He could only try to delay for a while, hoping that Ruan Da could resolve the trouble as soon as possible!
"Haha, what a coincidence! The Fifth Emperor's grandson just left with a few of his men, saying they were going to the farm outside our city to check things out... How about I have someone take you there to look?"
Hu Kui said with a smile on his face, thinking about tricking Mu Qingni away first...
"That's not necessary," Mu Qingni was not fooled by him and immediately said with a smile:
"They can't possibly have all left without a single one left behind, right?! Let me go in and ask those who stayed behind. If they also say Zhu Xi is fine, then I'll be relieved...
Don't worry, I won't be leading any troops in. I'll just go in and take a look myself. Chief Steward Hu won't refuse, will he?!"
Hu Kui...
"General Mu! You led your troops to surround the Prime Minister's residence based on a trumped-up charge. How dare I open the door for you? What if I open the door for you and you lead your troops straight in? General Mu, please ask me to consult the head of the family, or ask for an imperial order before coming back!"
Hu Kui didn't dare to let Mu Qingni in, so he could only refuse firmly.
"Hmph! I think you're guilty! Since you refuse to hand over the Fifth Imperial Grandson, don't blame me for being rude." Mu Qingni immediately became angry, pulling Hu Kui away and directly ordered: "Brothers! Attack!"
Hu Kui was pulled upside down by Mu Qingni and couldn't get up for a while. Seeing this, he could only shout at the top of his voice:
"How dare you! Leading troops to trespass into the Prime Minister's residence, do you know what crime you have committed?!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingni sneered at Hu Kui:
"Do you know what crime you, the Hu family, have committed by imprisoning the emperor's grandson? If Zhu Xi hadn't been there today, I, Mu Qingni, would have taken the blame for trespassing into the prime minister's residence!
But if the fifth grandson is in there? I don’t know what Prime Minister Hu will do. You! Will definitely die! "
After saying that, he took the climbing rope from his subordinates and climbed up directly without even trying to break down the door...
Unexpectedly, Hu Kui shouted at this moment.
“Wait!”
"I'll open the door for you!"
Mu Qingni...
…
Hu Kui was at his wit's end. Mu Qingni was clearly determined to fight to the death. How could the few dozen guards in their mansion withstand the hundreds of soldiers Mu Qingni had brought with her? Furthermore, most of those guards were already being harassed by the Fifth Emperor's grandson and his entourage!
If she is allowed to attack, the Fifth Emperor's grandson will be inside, and it will be even more difficult to explain then!
If they really accuse their mansion of imprisoning the emperor's grandson, I'm afraid even their prime minister will be implicated!
Hu Kui felt that the only way now was to put all the blame on Tian. After all, it was all a matter in the backyard. At most, the prime minister would be punished for negligence, and Tian could bear the rest!
In Hu Kui's opinion, it wouldn't be unfair for Tian to bear all the responsibility for this matter! She was the one who caused it in the first place!
However, despite thinking so, Hu Kui knew in his heart that with the degree to which their Prime Minister doted on Tian, if they trapped Tian this time, they would probably suffer a lot.
Therefore, in order to avoid Hu Xiang's anger later, Hu Kui asked the gatekeeper to quickly open the door for Mu Qingni, and at the same time, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to Hu Xiang...
…
Because of Mu Qingni's arrival, the situation of the fight in the mansion immediately reversed. Ruan Da was shocked to see Mu Qingni bringing troops. After looking at Hu Kui who followed in, he knew that this matter might not be concealed, and Tian's family might not be able to be saved, so he dropped his weapon and surrendered.
After taking down the guards in the mansion, Mu Qingni immediately went to the inner quarters. A moment later, she carried out the dying and unconscious Lu, followed by several maids who were supporting each other...
When Zhu Xi and others who were waiting in the outer courtyard saw Lu's miserable state, they all gasped and were so angry that they couldn't even speak.
No one expected that the prime minister's wife, a first-rank official, would be tortured like this by a concubine!
Even Ruan Da and Hu Kui, the steward of the Hu residence, who were tied up nearby, were shocked. They thought that the worst that Tian could do was to imprison Lu and abuse her in terms of food and daily life. They never expected that Tian would be so cruel!
Everyone saw that the once tall and plump Lu was now so thin that only a skeleton was left. All the hair on her head was gone, and her entire scalp was cut into uneven pieces, leaving only an inch long!
His exposed hands and neck were covered in scars and needle marks, so it was obvious that he had even more scars and needle marks on his body.
…
"Tian! How dare you?!" Zhu Xi couldn't help but grit his teeth and yelled angrily! Even though he didn't recognize Lu, he was so angry that he wanted to go up and slap Tian a few times to vent his anger on her behalf! He felt that someone as vicious as Tian would never be satisfied even if she was cut into pieces!
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Madam Lu's condition is already very bad. I will take Madam Lu and her maids to the Princess's Mansion first. Zhou Jin, you go and pick up your sister quickly. Although the Princess's Mansion has an imperial physician, Madam Lu and the others are female relatives after all. It will be more convenient for Ayu to treat them!"
"Fifth Prince, go and take Tian and all the others to the Dali Temple! I want to see what Prime Minister Hu has to say about this appalling case of a concubine abusing a royal consort!"
After Mu Qingni finished speaking with a grim face, she carried Lu out of the door. The murderous aura around her was intimidating!
Although Hu Kui, the chief steward, knew that letting her take Madam Lu away would be disadvantageous to him, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop her...
…
That night...
Zhou Yu, who had been detained in the palace by Emperor Chengqian for seven days, had just returned to the Zheng family when Zhou Jin arrived on horseback. Just as Zhou Yu was about to tell her brother about the forced marriage she had been forced into by Emperor Chengqian, she was interrupted by her brother...
Then, he heard his brother talk about how Tian abused Lu, and that Madam Lu was in imminent danger and needed help...
Zhou Yu had no time to talk about his own affairs after hearing this. He hurried back to his room, got his medicine box, and followed his brother on horseback to the Princess's residence...
When the brother and sister arrived, the old doctor Cheng from the Princess's residence had already taken Lu's pulse and diagnosed that she had been poisoned...
Doctor Cheng thought the poison wasn't difficult to cure, but Madam Lu was too weak. The herbs needed to cure it were quite toxic, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.
But if the poison is not removed first, Madam Lu is already deeply poisoned, and I am afraid she will not be able to hold on...
Just when I was in a dilemma, Zhou Yu arrived...
When Zhou Yu arrived, he first went to see Mrs. Lu. Her diagnosis was exactly the same as that of Dr. Cheng...
Doctor Cheng was shocked when he heard this. You know, the poison in Madam Lu's body is extremely difficult to diagnose. He only made the diagnosis based on his many years of medical experience. He didn't expect that this teenage girl in front of him could also diagnose it...
Doctor Cheng immediately stopped looking down on Zhou Yu and was polite when Zhou Yu discussed his condition with him.
Zhou Yu's dilemma was the same as that of Old Doctor Cheng. After pondering for a while, he discussed with Old Doctor Cheng whether it would be possible to give Madam Lu ordinary detoxification pills first to stabilize the toxicity in her body. After Madam Lu had recuperated for a few days, he could continue to use the appropriate detoxification medicine...
Doctor Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought it might be possible. So, the two of them discussed how to use the medicine while carefully treating Mrs. Lu...
Half a month later, Mrs. Lu was finally brought back from the brink of death...
