Su Muxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she quietly clenched her fists.
Ye Ziyu kept talking about helping Prince Yu clear his name, but he never mentioned General Lin. So, Ye Ziyu probably hated General Lin in his heart.
If she really is General Lin's daughter...
"Su girl, what are you thinking about!"
Ge Mao noticed Su Muxi's concerns and immediately dropped his serious demeanor, replacing it with a smile.
"I was just speaking casually. Even if you really are General Lin's daughter, I will not have any prejudice against you."
"After all, you're just the way I am, and I truly love you!"
"Besides, don't you know that brat Ye Ziyu? He doesn't care whose daughter you are, he only likes you for who you are!"
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi smiled in relief.
yes.
Ye Zeyu likes her as a person.
Whether she is beautiful or ugly, Ye Ziyu loves her.
However, she still wanted to find out about her background.
So after dinner, Su Muxi went to see Aunt Zhong.
"Aunt Zhong, please tell me honestly, am I really my father's biological daughter?"
Aunt Zhong was surprised that Su Muxi would suddenly ask this question. She panicked for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.
"Miss, what are you saying! Of course you are the master's biological daughter!"
"real?"
“Absolutely true! Your umbilical cord was cut by the master himself! This old servant swears to heaven!”
As she spoke, Aunt Zhong raised three fingers and was about to swear an oath.
Seeing this, Su Muxi quickly stopped her.
"Aunt Zhong, I was just asking casually, you don't need to swear."
After finishing her sentence, Su Muxi casually asked about her childhood. Aunt Zhong didn't show any unusual reaction, which made Su Muxi completely relieved.
It seems that she and General Lin's wife only look alike, and perhaps they are related by ancestry, but she is not General Lin's daughter.
It seems that Qiao Xiuyuan only treated her differently because she resembled that Yun Shi somewhat.
After Prince Jing passed away, his cousin Ye Chengping inherited the title and became the new Prince Jing. Although Ye Jingchun had already issued an imperial edict, Ye Chengping still wanted to go to the capital to meet the emperor in person, citing the reason that he wanted to express his gratitude in person.
But Su Muxi knew Ye Chengping's true purpose in coming to the capital.
That is to expose the truth about Bai Mengying's murder of Prince Jing.
So there should be a lively show to watch tomorrow.
Su Muxi prepared to go to bed early.
But just as she finished washing up and was about to go to sleep, McQueen's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Your Highness! Qiao Xiuyuan has been arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice for plotting to murder the Second Prince!"
"What?!"
Su Muxi hurriedly pushed open the door and came out.
Did Qiao Xiuyuan plot to murder Ye Zerui?
He was arrested?
When McQueen saw Su Muxi with her hair down, he blushed and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.
The old Su Muxi could scare people to death if she went out at night.
These days, Su Muxi can charm people to death when she goes out at night.
McQueen quickly dismissed any inappropriate thoughts and lowered his head to tell Su Muxi the news that had come from outside.
"Tonight, Qiao Xiuyuan went to the Second Prince's residence to find Ye Zerui. The two agreed to meet at Zuixianlou, but less than half an hour later, news spread that Ye Zerui had been poisoned. This alarmed the Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice. After some negotiation, Qiao Xiuyuan was temporarily imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's jail."
Su Muxi hurriedly asked, "Is Ye Zerui dead?"
McQueen shook his head. "It seems not."
Su Muxi was deep in thought.
Qiao Xiuyuan only said that he would join forces with Ye Zeyu to bring down the Bai family, but he didn't say what they would do specifically.
So, was it Qiao Xiuyuan's plan to poison Ye Zerui so openly and brazenly?
Getting involved...
No!
Qiao Xiuyuan wouldn't do something so stupid, so he must have had a reason for doing this!
Suddenly, Su Muxi thought of a possibility.
Where is Ye Zerui now?
"He was sent to the palace."
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi hesitated for a moment, but her eyes gradually hardened.
"Let's go, into the palace!"
"Huh?" McQueen was stunned. He thought the princess wasn't the type to enjoy watching a spectacle, so why would she want to go to the palace to join in the fun?
But then Su Muxi said, "No matter what, Ye Zerui is Ye Zeyu's younger brother. Since he's been poisoned, as his sister-in-law, I naturally have to go and see him. If possible, I should even try to help him."
…
The palace gates are locked at night, and even Su Muxi, as the Princess Consort of Yong'an, cannot enter or leave at will.
Su Muxi coldly looked at the guards blocking her way and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone in the capital knows that I, the Princess Consort, am skilled in medicine. Don't you know that?! I came here specifically to treat the Second Prince after hearing that he was poisoned. If you delay my treatment of the Second Prince, can you bear the consequences?!"
The Second Prince is the Emperor's legitimate son; they are merely lowly guards, so naturally they cannot bear such responsibility.
After exchanging glances, the group immediately let Su Muxi pass.
After Su Muxi entered the palace, she learned that Ye Zerui was currently in the Empress's palace, and she smiled slightly.
That would be convenient.
But then, Su Muxi felt a chill run down her spine.
Although the Second Prince was born to the Empress, it is somewhat illogical that after being poisoned, he was not carried to the Second Prince's residence but directly to the Empress's palace.
Unless all of this was arranged by Qiao Xiuyuan.
If that's true, then Qiao Xiuyuan is truly terrifying.
The Empress's palace was brightly lit, and the entire courtyard was filled with kneeling maids and eunuchs.
