"Let's take it one step at a time. Some things need to be prepared as soon as possible, but we can't be too nervous, otherwise it will only arouse suspicion." Xu Tianze lost the solemnity in his eyes and buried himself in the small quilt on the soft couch.
Sure enough, in winter, I just want to lazily crawl into bed and don’t want to go anywhere else.
Xu Tianze originally thought that Lan Nuoling would at least think for a while before deciding whether to meet Li Yao.
Who would have thought that that night, they brought the man directly into the mansion, and not only did they bring him in, they didn't even intend to let him have a good rest.
"You'd better give me an explanation." Xu Tianze stared at Lan Nuoling with death.
God knows how it felt when everyone was already asleep and they suddenly woke him up and told him that there were guests, and he got up with his hair disheveled.
If Lan Noling didn't have a good reason, he believed he would teach her a profound enough lesson.
"Hehe." Lan Nuoling felt the murderous intent and his expression became a little unnatural.
"Sir Xu, I asked A Ling to call you over." Li Yao spoke directly to divert Xu Tianze's attention.
"Maybe you called me the wrong King of Nanyang? You have known my sister for so many years, is it possible that you can't even remember her last name?" Xu Tianze's hungry eyes instantly stared at Li Yao.
At the same time, Xu Tianze felt a chill in his heart, and secretly sighed that he was too ostentatious. It seemed that all the plans had to be advanced.
Lan Nuoling subconsciously straightened her body. At first, when Li Yao asked her to call Xu Tianze over, she thought she had to apologize to Xu Tianze in person.
Who knew that when the person got closer, he would speak out his real purpose and directly expose Xu Tianze's identity. This was not what she wanted.
"When you were only concerned about the surname and not the word 'sir' at the beginning, you couldn't hide it anymore. So what's there to not recognize?" Li Yao was not afraid of Xu Tianze's gaze at all.
She can be considered an old minister who has worked with the previous emperor. Although she is young, she is not someone who can be intimidated by a high position.
"I'm curious about how King Nanyang knew this?" Xu Tianze sat up straighter.
He was not too panicked at this time. Not to mention that they were in the Regent's Palace, Li Yi's life was still in his hands. He believed that Li Yao had not yet reached the point of dying together.
"The nobles of Minglan Kingdom are not that simple. Even if there are some stupid ones, they are not many. The one from Gan Kingdom has been looking for you in a big way, and now he has begun to reach out to Minglan Kingdom." Li Yao did not hesitate and confessed directly.
"Everyone has been pretending to be ignorant because they just want to win you over. After all, everyone has heard about your achievements in the capital of Gan Country."
Li Yao felt that perhaps she hadn't said enough so far, so she shook her head and sighed, "The Empress has known about this for a long time, but she has just been waiting and watching."
Xu Tianze and Lan Nuoling were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, and then felt solemn in their hearts.
If their actions were right under the Empress's nose from the very beginning, then everything would be revealed to her.
It can be said that the Empress also knew their purpose, which is why she always condoned their actions.
"Who asked you to come here today?" Xu Tianze's face turned serious, no longer cynical as at the beginning.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I came here tonight because Your Majesty wanted me to say hello in advance." Li Yao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything was calm.
"I understand. Princess, you can leave now." Xu Tianze took a deep breath and wanted to see the guest off.
Although he didn't take it seriously at the beginning, he now knows that he has to go to this palace banquet. If any problems arise, he will lose everything and there will be no chance of a comeback.
"This..." Li Yao looked at Lan Nuoling hesitantly.
Although she was trying to convey a message to the empress, it was also for her own illegitimate son. Now Yi'er was still unconscious in bed, so she had no choice but to come here for help.
"Give her the antidote." Lan Nuoling received Li Yao. Although she was a little unhappy, she also knew that it was better not to break up with Li Yao at this time.
Otherwise, if they were to be tripped up at the palace banquet, they would be in tears.
"You're so kind." Xu Tianze rolled his eyes, then looked at Li Yao: "The antidote is everywhere. Just find a small amount of laxative and add salt water, and feed it to the person."
"Is it that simple?" Li Yao asked in disbelief.
You have to know that after her illegitimate son fell into a coma, she had consulted all the doctors in Haojing, but there was no real good result at all.
Even when the imperial physician was invited to the house, he would still come to the conclusion that the disease could not be cured. Who would have known that the antidote was so simple, and even something that was often used at home.
"It's not that complicated. The simpler something is, the easier it is for others to overlook it. That's why all doctors don't know about it. If you had found a barefoot doctor, you would have solved it long ago." Xu Tianze sneered.
Haojing is full of wealthy families, and even ordinary people are richer than those in other places. Of course, they would hire a doctor if they can, and if that doesn't work, there are still the imperial doctors in the palace.
With your favors, my connections, and his connections, we can hire someone at a high price. Naturally, we disdain barefoot doctors. There are not even any barefoot doctors in Haojing.
Those who cannot afford to hire a doctor can only endure it. Either they can get through it or they can just wait to die. There are no other possibilities.
