The sound stopped abruptly.
He glared at Old Madam Xiao's arm.
Both arms were horribly ulcerated.
The old lady wailed, "It's so itchy and painful! Quick, quick, go find a doctor! What are you standing there for?"
She glared at the two of them, extremely angry.
If she dies, she'll drag these people down with her!
Why am I so unlucky?
The old lady could only think that it might be that woman, Xiao Tang!
Or perhaps someone else touched her and poisoned her?
Then, considering that Di Jingling had said he would cut off her hands earlier that day, she trembled like a leaf.
Could it be the regent...?
...
Xiao Tang received news about the Xiao family from Ruyi.
Ruyi cursed inwardly, "That old lady deserves it. She's searched all the doctors in the capital, but none of them have a solution. She doesn't know what kind of poison it is."
"Oh?" Xiao Tang wasn't surprised, but she still put on a sincere performance.
She curled her lips slightly, "It really is quite scary."
Ruyi, completely oblivious to the princess's attitude, nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, it's really terrifying!"
It took her a long time to catch her breath.
"Your Highness, could it be you..."
"Forget about it. From today onwards, any member of the Xiao family who comes here should be driven away. I will not see him."
Just as Xiao Tang finished giving his instructions, the steward came to say that Xiao Hanxue was requesting an audience.
She still didn't show up.
After that, every day, the Xiao family would send someone to see them and plead their case.
However, the gates of the Regent's Palace were always tightly closed, and those who cried out at the gate could find no other way out.
Even Duke Xiao came.
However, nobody paid any attention.
This day happened to be the time when the court session was ending.
Duke Xiao came to the gate of the Prince's mansion again, crying and pleading, "Princess, please see me! I'll do anything you ask if you can save my mother..."
"You'll agree to anything?" A male voice suddenly rang out behind him, startling Duke Xiao.
