Xu Haitang had lost his appetite for the past few days and was exhausted, but he finally developed an antidote for the poisonous insect.
She had just walked out of the dark room and was about to go to the altar when she learned from her subordinates what had happened in the past few days. She swayed slightly and could hardly stand.
"Poison?"
Her voice was sharp, her lips were white, "How is this possible! This is nonsense! I want to go find my brother!"
Nangong Yu was asking Nangong Haitang, but he didn't expect that someone would show up the next moment.
He looked at Nangong Haitang's pale face, and all his doubts turned into concern. He quickly walked forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
After all, this is the sister whom Nangong Yu has truly spoiled for three or four years. It is somewhat difficult for him to suddenly doubt her.
Nangong Haitang really has some abilities, otherwise she wouldn't be so favored in the Nangong family.
Her eyes were wide open, her lips were pouting, and tears were falling down. She looked really pitiful.
She tugged at Nangong Yu's sleeve and said, "Brother, I just went to the mountains to look for a medicinal herb. How come when I came out, everyone said I was a fake goddess and that there was something wrong with my medicine?"
Xu Haitang lifted up his sleeves, revealing several scars.
Her tears flowed even harder and her tone was extremely aggrieved.
"I worked without sleep for five days to collect herbs. My hands were covered with scars from the grass and trees. I was almost eaten by tigers and leopards. That group of untouchables... no, the people, is this how they repay me?"
After a pause, her tone became more fierce. "And those people from Mingyue Island, what right do they have to smear me like this? Do they have any evidence? Are they just jealous that the people trust me more?!"
Nangong Yu lifted Nangong Haitang's wrist and looked at the wounds carefully, his tone full of heartache, "Why didn't you bring guards with you? How dare you go to that kind of place alone? You, ah."
Xu Haitang quickly withdrew his hand.
She cut her hand with a knife to get blood, and she was afraid that Nangong Yu would see the mark.
Xu Haitang's voice was choked with sobs.
"It's okay, brother. It doesn't hurt that much, I just feel wronged. Why don't they trust me? Rumors can break gold. There are so many rumors out there that I don't even dare to go out now."
Nangong Yu comforted her, "Don't worry. As long as you are innocent, the Nangong family will always be your strong backing."
Xu Haitang's heart sank, she bit her lip, and looked pitiful.
"Then, can you please ask the people from Mingyue Island to leave? They keep saying bad things about Haitang, and Haitang is so scared. If grandfather knew..."
"Don't bother Grandfather."
Nangong Yu frowned slightly.
Realizing that his tone was a bit harsh, he said in a gentle voice, "Grandfather is old and ill. The doctor said he should not worry too much. Don't let him get upset because of this. I will make arrangements for you."
"This kind of thing? Is my problem a trivial matter?" Xu Haitang pouted and struggled for words.
Nangong Yu held his forehead with his hand, "No, I mean I'm afraid that grandpa will worry about you."
Xu Haitang snorted, "I don't care, my brother has to make the decision for me anyway."
"Okay, okay, wipe your tears first. I'll take care of this, okay?"
Nangong Yu is a perfect brother, gentle and patient.
No matter how cold-hearted Xu Haitang was, after a few years of getting along, she had developed some real affection and dependence on him.
She smiled with her eyes curved, hugged Nangong Yu's arm and acted coquettishly, shaking her head.
"Big brother is the best."
Nangong Yu didn't like close contact with others, and his body was slightly stiff.
"I've told you so many times that you are a noble lady from an aristocratic family. You should behave in a dignified and polite manner. Moreover, my brother is already married. Remember this and don't do such things in the future."
"Humph." Xu Haitang rolled his eyes. "It's not like I don't know that you and that guy named Wei never consummated your marriage. You're not a real couple."
Nangong Yu's face turned red instantly, and the tips of his ears were even redder.
He hurriedly said seriously: "You are a woman, I am your brother, how can you tell such a thing to your brother?
Secondly, no matter what the relationship between the princess and I is, we have worshipped heaven and earth, so I must give her the respect she deserves."
Xu Haitang stomped his feet and quickly ran out of the room.
Nangong Yu shook his head helplessly, and after Xu Haitang walked away, he called a subordinate in and asked, "Has any woman come to the teahouse to look for me recently?"
The subordinate shook his head. "No."
Nangong Yu looked regretful.
"Go down. If any woman comes looking for me, remember to notify me immediately."
"promise."
Nangong Yu came to the study to finish dealing with today's official documents before he began to think about how to deal with Xu Haitang's matter.
First, we need to find out who poisoned the people.
Regardless of whether Haitang was framed or not, let's ask the people from Mingyue Island to leave first.
This group of people have been making alarmist remarks all the time, which has really affected the social order in Kyoto and caused panic among the people.
When the time comes, he can just give some gold, silver, jewelry, and precious herbs, and send the person away with nice words.
Anyway, he believed that with his talent, even without Mingyue Island, he would be able to find out the villain behind the scenes.
Nangong Yu made up his mind and knocked on the table, "Someone, please post a message for me to invite the doctor from Mingyue Island to come to my Nangong home for a gathering tomorrow."
This matter has been arranged.
Nangong Yu thought of the things about Hanshan Temple again.
It's been so many days, it's time for the results to come out.
He dared to kidnap and sell young girls in Kyoto, which showed that he did not take his Nangong family seriously.
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
The next moment, a scholar in long robes walked in with his head lowered and saluted.
Nangong Yu quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Zichun, there's no need to be so polite. Is there any progress on the matter of Hanshan Temple?"
The middle-aged scholar named Zichun frowned and did not reply for a long time.
