Chapter 527 You want to kill yourself in his mansion?!
Jiang Nuanzhi wiped her silver needles clean, soaked them in her own high-proof liquor, and calmly said, "Since you want me to go, then I will go and keep the appointment openly."
"No, absolutely not!"
This time, Wei Ke was the first to speak. He stood up abruptly, his slightly pale handsome face filled with rejection: "The general does not want his wife to be in danger. He is still unconscious. If we send his wife there, we will have wasted all the years of brotherhood we have had with the general. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Chi Heng, now showing some rationality, advised, "Sister-in-law, Wei Ke's words are not without reason."
Xiao Yuanshan is skilled in both poison and Gu poison; those who have been poisoned by him have almost no chance of survival. It's likely that Xiao Yuanshan's request for his sister-in-law to go stems from his fear of her. Now, his sister-in-law is our last bargaining chip.
If you go directly there, wouldn't we be sending lambs to the slaughter?
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Like sheep entering a tiger's den? It's not certain who the sheep and the tiger are. I know what you're thinking, but do we have any other choice?"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent instantly. Wei Ke pursed his lips for a long while before saying, "We can think of another way, but sister-in-law..."
"Alright, it's settled then." Jiang Nuanzhi interrupted Wei Ke directly: "Xiao Yuanshan is also a human being, and humans have weaknesses. Today, we'll have a chance to have a good chat with him."
Wei Ke frowned, wanting to say something more. Jiang Nuanzhi interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry. Since I dare to go, I will definitely come back safe and sound."
This will also be a good opportunity to see what kind of person this regent really is.
"Sister Nuan! I support you!"
When everyone looked at her with disapproval, the young princess suddenly stood up from the crowd.
He rolled his eyes at Chi Heng and the other man and said, "You still have the nerve to call yourself a man? What are you dawdling about?"
At worst, we'll just have to fight a war!
Are you really afraid of Xiao Yuanshan?
Don't worry, Sister Nuan. I'll send a squad of elite troops from the Prince's Mansion to accompany you. I refuse to believe that the Prince's Mansion can't protect you alone!
As the young princess spoke, a strange excitement gleamed in her eyes.
"Xiao Nianjun! What are you meddling in for?" Chi Heng couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Do you think we're going to war?"
After thinking for a moment, he added, "It would be great if it were like a war!"
These people were all veterans of battle; if they were to actually fight, they would surely win a great victory. However, Xiao Yuanshan was never an enemy that could be judged by common sense.
He glanced at the young princess beside him and was speechless for a moment.
I wonder what's going on in Xiao Nianjun's head.
“The young princess is right.”
Just as Chi Heng was rolling her eyes, she saw Jiang Nuanzhi smilingly pat Xiao Nianjun's head. For a split second, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
"No, sister-in-law, Xiao Nianjun is a fool. Don't actually listen to her. Even if we're going, we need to be fully prepared."
Jiang Nuanzhi remained noncommittal, nodding reassuringly to Chi Heng before scanning the crowd and finally settling her gaze on Sanqi in the corner, where she smiled brightly.
"Sanqi, I would like to trouble you to make a trip to the palace and convey two messages to the Emperor for me."
At this moment, Sanqi huddled in a corner, covering half of himself with the bed curtains, wishing that no one would notice his appearance.
In a daze, Sanqi was spotted by Jiang Nuanzhi, and a chill immediately ran from the soles of her feet to her scalp, chilling her entire body.
He swallowed hard and stammered, "Doctor Jiang... um... why don't you try someone else? Eunuch Liu would be fine too. He's much better at getting to the palace than I am."
As he spoke, he pulled Eunuch Liu, who was watching the commotion, in front of him.
Liu Gonggong touched his nose with a puzzled look on his face, then bowed deeply to Jiang Nuanzhi.
Sanqi kept swallowing hard behind him. He said, "The reason I was called here for no reason is definitely not good!"
She even asked me to examine her husband's health—bullshit! From the moment I entered until now, she hasn't even glanced at me during her consultations, let alone asked me to take Li Rong's pulse.
Besides, the way that person smiled was so creepy! When has she ever smiled like that before? There's definitely something fishy going on here. Anyone who goes is a complete fool!
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't give him a chance to refuse at all. She just smiled and said, "Please ask Lord Sanqi to go and tell the Emperor that Xiao Yuanshan has gone too far by poisoning my father and the Imperial Preceptor. Now the two of them are bedridden. I have decided to go to the banquet alone to ask for the antidote."
If that fails, then just crash into his regent's palace and die.
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. Your humble servant kowtows in farewell."
As he said this, Jiang Nuanzhi bowed respectfully to the outside.
Sanqi silently touched her nose. Goodness, they're not even pretending anymore, are they?
Is this a farewell gesture of kowtowing? Are you blind? Can't you even tell the difference between a bow and a kowtow?
Thinking this way, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and his voice rose abruptly: "No, you, you, you... you want to run yourself to death in Xiao Yuanshan's mansion?"
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow at Sanqi: "Hmm... is there something wrong?"
Sanqi's eyes widened: "No, this is very inappropriate. Wait, you said you'd go directly to Xiao Yuanshan for the antidote, and if he doesn't give it to you, you'd die in his house?"
"No! You haven't finished treating the Emperor's illness yet, don't be impulsive!"
Jiang Nuanzhi stared at him intently, her eyes filled with a smile.
Sanqi stopped halfway through her story. "Would Jiang Nuanzhi really die in someone else's car accident? It doesn't seem like it."
Recalling her words, he couldn't help but tug at his hair. He felt something was off, especially when he met Jiang Nuanzhi's ambiguous smile; a strange unease gripped him. After tugging at his hair a couple more times, his mind started to itch, and he finally couldn't resist asking, "No, what do you mean? You really can't do this, the Emperor won't allow it."
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Yes, so... I'll have to trouble Lord Sanqi to make a trip to the palace as soon as possible."
While Sanqi was stunned, Jiang Nuanzhi had already taken the cloak from Linchun with a smile and put it on: "Because I'm going to a banquet now."
"No, no! You, you, you... wait! At least wait for me to come back from the palace." At this point, Sanqi didn't care about anything else and ran away as fast as she could.
Then Jiang Nuanzhi turned her gaze to Eunuch Liu, who was taken aback. She nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Physician Jiang. I will accompany Lord Sanqi to report to the Emperor and make sure that everything Physician Jiang just said is relayed to the Emperor without missing a single word."
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Thank you for your trouble..."
Then, in everyone's sight, Eunuch Liu quickly walked away.
Seeing that the two had disappeared from sight, Chi Heng frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want the Emperor to protect us? You haven't been in the capital for long, so you probably don't know much about our Emperor. He's too cunning and unreliable."
One update today, my darlings! I've been to the hospital again these past two days, it's really... People turn thirty and their spirits are high, but how high? So high that it's either a headache or a fever, or something growing here or there. It's always some kind of inflammation... It's really the first time I've realized I have so many organs.
The author is going to take care of their health first. They'll check their condition tomorrow night; if they're clear-headed, they'll update again for the readers. If not, never mind, forget I said anything…
