Chapter 72 Thorough Investigation



"Our Huo family is in such a state now, all because of that little bitch Anle. Just wait for me. In a few days, after the prince is released from the clan residence, I will have plenty of ways to rescue my nephew Xiujie."

"Anle, you little bastard, I'll give you a big gift when I get out of the cold palace. Then I'll definitely let you experience the consequences of offending me."

After receiving a diagnosis from Cao Youliang, the former head of the Imperial Hospital, Emperor Jianchang received Cao Youliang's advice, "Your Majesty, from now on, you must not let your mood fluctuate too much. Calming down and resting your mind is the most important thing!"

"I will prescribe a prescription for you to nourish your spirit. Please take it for a while."

Emperor Jianchang waved his hand gently to him, indicating that he would pay attention, and then he lay down on the dragon couch to rest and recuperate.

After sending the imperial physician away and waiting for Zhao Chong to come back, Emperor Jianchang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Find someone to keep an eye on Concubine Huo in the cold palace. If there's anything unusual, report it to her."

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to make the arrangements right away."

Zhao Chong respectfully left the hall.

A young eunuch in the imperial study was assigned the task of boiling medicine.

He took the medicine bag in his hand and went to a side hall. He put the herbs in the paper bag into the medicine pot and added water to boil.

He watched the whole process carefully by himself, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

It took more than an hour before the medicine in the medicine pot was finally boiled.

After pouring the medicine into the bowl, he happily picked up the bowl and walked towards the Wenying Hall where Emperor Jianchang was resting.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked around, put the medicine bowl in his hand in a hidden corner, and went to the toilet without any worries.

After he left, a figure came to the medicine bowl, took out a package from his arms tremblingly, and poured it into the bowl carefully.

After doing all this, the man slipped away.

When the medicine bowl was handed to Emperor Jianchang, the medicine inside was still warm and ready to take.

Holding the medicine bowl in his hand, a pungent smell hit his face. Emperor Jianchang stuffed the bowl into the hands of Zhao Chong, who was serving beside him, with disgust.

"This medicine smells too strong. I don't want to drink it right now. Just leave it there for now!"

Zhao Chong helplessly held the bowl in his hand and wanted to persuade him to drink the medicine while it was hot, but he saw the emperor turned over and said with his back to him, "Zhao Chong, I will rest for an hour. After an hour, remember to wake me up."

After giving the order, Emperor Jianchang quickly fell asleep.

Zhao Chong had no choice but to put down the medicine bowl in his hand, take small steps and quietly leave the hall, and close the door.

Tao Yuwei, who had just returned home, went to feed the crow and its clansmen first.

Standing in a hidden bamboo forest in the backyard, Tao Yuwei looked at the black crows eating eagerly and hummed the lyrics of "Perfume is Poisonous" in a good mood.

Upon hearing this, the maids Yunxiao and Baishuang blushed.

Their county master is a little timid but not cowardly.

The singing is too straightforward. Who did she fall in love with?

"Who do you want to sleep with?" Wu suddenly appeared and stood behind her, her eyes filled with endless murderous intent.

Who is this bastard who deceived and kidnapped my daughter who was not even an adult yet?

Damn it, she must find that man and slit his throat.

Tao Yuwei's mood for singing was suddenly interrupted. She turned around and saw her heroic and beautiful mother looking at her with dangerous narrowed eyes.

My goodness, look at the way I protect my son. Could it be that she misunderstood and thought that she was deceived by some noble young man?

"Mom, why are you here? Come on, let's go to your yard and eat some iced watermelon."

Tao Yuwei walked up to her with a smile, took Wu's arm, and walked out.

But he found that Wu didn't move at all.

"Mom, you're too strong. You even used your internal energy against me. It shouldn't be that serious!"

Tao Yuwei didn't expect that Wu really took the lyrics she sang seriously.

"Don't play dumb, tell me who that guy is."

If anyone dares to bully her daughter, she will make him regret it.

"Mom, no one, your daughter is so young, who would want to hit on me."

Haha, she still has plenty of youth to enjoy a good life.

Of course, she also taught some scoundrels a lesson and let them know that she is not easy to plot against.

[Oh, it's just a few lyrics, why do you take it so seriously? Mom, your daughter has no plans to marry, but I do plan to have more concubines after I come of age.]

Mrs. Wu's eyes widened in shock at her daughter's bold remarks.

She doesn't want to marry in, but still wants to keep a lover. She is just a princess who is temporarily favored by the king. How can she be more arrogant than a real princess?

Her daughter's idea is not good. She has to pay more attention to her daughter in the future. If she lets her continue like this, she might find a lover for no reason one day.

"When you come of age, mother will carefully choose a marriage for you. It's not right for you to secretly raise these crows in the backyard! Were you the one who caused all the trouble outside today?"

Mrs. Wu was happy about her daughter's growth, but she was also worried that her daughter, without the guidance of her elders, would develop a bad temper in the process of growing up freely, become too arrogant in her behavior and actions, and lose her sense of propriety by trying to take the lead in everything.

Tao Yuwei grabbed Wu's hand and quickly shook her head, "Mom, your daughter has no plans to get married, so don't worry about this."

"These crows helped me a lot today. To express my gratitude, I'm just treating them to a big meal."

It turns out that these crows were not raised privately by the girl. That's good. Once these crows fly away, they will have nothing to do with their General's Mansion.

She also didn't have to worry about someone using her daughter's ability to attract crows to spread unlucky rumors.

She and her husband already knew what was happening outside. Her daughter was bold and decisive, and acted without any hesitation. In this respect, she was much better than her.
