Tang Mansion
When Tang Jingyu woke up, he had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard.
Gu Pianran walked into the room and sat beside the bed.
"Jingyu, drink the medicine."
Gu Pianran blew the medicine cool and fed it to his mouth.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this these days." Tang Jingyu said apologetically.
Gu Pianran gently stroked his face, "Why should we be like this? Take the medicine and get better soon."
After feeding him the medicine, Gu Pianran applied medicine on his wound.
"I asked someone to bring this medicine from Shu. It's very effective. You'll be well again soon."
"Yes." Tang Jingyu looked at her with emotion, "Pianran, I have no identity and become penniless. Will you still marry me?"
His eyes were fixed on her.
Gu Pianran glared at him and said angrily, "Tang Jingyu, am I, Gu Pianran, that kind of person? I love you as a person, not your identity or your status. If I really were that kind of person, would you still be able to see me now?"
Seeing her angry, Tang Jingyu quickly comforted her, "Pianran, I was wrong. I was petty. You hit me just to calm you down."
He pulled her hand in front of him.
Gu Pianran pulled her hand back, "I'll forgive you this time, but if you do this again in the future, I won't care about you anymore."
"No, absolutely not, my lady."
Gu Pianran covered his mouth.
Gu Pianran took the ointment and applied it to his wound bit by bit. The poison in the ointment seeped into his flesh and blood bit by bit, and remained in his body along with the healing flesh and blood. It was colorless, odorless, and unconscious.

Two days later
Imperial Palace
When Emperor Wenxuan saw the secret memorial on the table, his face darkened little by little.
The document clearly stated that there was a group of extremely vicious bandits in Qianling Mountain, and the local people did not dare to approach. After secretly negotiating and sneaking in, they found that the group of bandits were evacuating.
After they left, the bandits set a fire and burned everything.
The secret talks found a torn account book inside, which contained a large amount of wealth and the amount of weapons forged.
The more Emperor Wenxuan looked, the uglier his expression became.
How dare they...
"How can this be possible?" Emperor Wenxuan was so angry that he threw the teacup on the table to the ground.
The eunuchs and palace maids serving in the entire imperial study were so frightened that they shrank their necks and tried to minimize their presence.
The Grand Steward saw how furious Emperor Wenxuan was and guessed what was causing it. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: the Fourth Prince was completely screwed this time.
I had a good hand, but it turned out like this.
He will never have the hope of ascending the throne again in this life.
On the other side, as soon as Gu Fanzhi was released from confinement, he went to the harem and met Concubine Xiao.
He urgently needed to know what happened that night.
He was not a fool and could clearly feel that his father did not treat him as well as before.
When Concubine Xiao saw her son coming, she hurriedly pulled him over.
"Mother, what exactly happened that night?"
Seeing her son so anxious, Concubine Xiao knew the seriousness of the situation and told him everything she had seen and heard yesterday.
"When Mother left, that person held me hostage. I was nearly struck by lightning, but luckily it struck nearby."
"You're saying that Father was about to have him executed, but he swore a terrible oath, and even the heavens sided with him. So Father believed him and ordered Prime Minister Zhou and the others to reinvestigate the matter?"
