Chapter 945 Madam Mei (2)
Luo Tan asked, "Can't Prince Rui know too?"
Shen Miao nodded.
Luo Tan said, "I understand." He then said to Shen Miao, "You should rest for a while. You've been coming and going so often that it'll be tomorrow before we get to Longye. You were busy all night last night without a break, and you look so haggard now. Even if I wanted to keep it a secret for you, you can't hide your appearance from others."
Shen Miao nodded and leaned against the back of the carriage and closed her eyes. After being busy all night yesterday, she was indeed very sleepy and tired, almost on the verge of death. However, there was no need to hold on. She fell asleep almost immediately after closing her eyes, not caring about the bumps in the carriage.
This night's sleep was very short, it seemed that she hadn't slept for long at all before she was woken up by someone. When she opened her eyes, she saw Bajiao looking at her and saying, "Madam, Miss Luo, it's time to return home."
Luo Tan had just woken up, and the two of them jumped off the carriage. It was already the next morning, the sun already high in the sky. Shen Miao rubbed her forehead, and when she saw that there was no one to handle the door of Prince Rui's mansion, her heart sank.
The Prince's Palace has always been heavily guarded, and the guards were transferred from the Mo Yu Army. They are usually very strict, but now no one is there. Could it be that... something happened?
Luo Tan also saw it and had a bad feeling in his heart, but he was afraid of making Shen Miao sad, so he didn't dare to say a word. It was Mo Qing who said, "Madam, go in and take a look first."
Cong Yang and the others were all Xie Jingxing's men, so naturally they were worried. When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, they found it deserted. They became increasingly suspicious and uneasy. Shen Miao was walking so fast that she almost bumped into someone. The person was startled and turned around to see Shen Miao, but was stunned: "Madam, you're back!"
This person is Uncle Tang.
Tang Shuyishang looked extremely embarrassed, no longer his usual smart demeanor. Shen Miao asked hurriedly, "What happened? Why is there no one in the mansion?"
"Madam, why did you return only now? The news that the master's life is hanging by a thread has somehow spread. These days, many people have been trying to probe us, both openly and covertly. The mansion is trying to help conceal it, and people from the court are also making trouble. It's really a mess. Madam Ji has come to inquire about your whereabouts several times, and the emperor has also asked..."
Luo Tan said: "My cousin is also busy helping my brother-in-law find the life-saving expert. Speaking of which, we have already obtained..."
"Oh right!" Uncle Tang slapped his head and said, "I forgot to tell you the good news. The master has woken up!"
Shen Miao and Luo Tan were both stunned. Shen Miao asked, "Awake?"
"Yes!" Uncle Tang said, "Madam, you don't know. The night you passed away, the master's wound suddenly opened, and the poison couldn't be contained. The palace physician said that even the Guiyuan Pill couldn't save the master's life. We also sent for Master Gao, but he couldn't do anything either. He said that within two days, the master would be seriously ill." Uncle Tang's twists and turns were so direct that they made people's hearts drop. Luo Tan was impatient and couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"
"Then the news of the master's imminent death spread, and somehow, it spread to every corner of the city. Madam Ji was anxious, and since everyone in Longye knew about it, she simply posted a notice outside, asking for a generous reward from any passing doctor who could cure the master's illness. Someone happened to take down the notice, invited him in, and gave the master a herb. Master Gao made a pill out of it and gave it to the master. The master's wounds gradually healed, and he even woke up this morning. Master Gao and the imperial physicians have both examined the master, and they say the master's injuries are gradually recovering, and the poison has been neutralized."
