Hearing his father's words, Yuan Zhao frowned and said:
"Father, don't rush."
She felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed today.
Would the Second Prince really be that foolish as to make a move in public?
At first, she also thought it was the Second Prince, but now that she has calmed down, especially after hearing what Yuan's father said, she thinks it is unlikely that it is the Second Prince.
The Second Prince isn't stupid. He knows his father and brothers love her, yet he still openly attacked her. Isn't this a blatant declaration of war against the General's Mansion?
Hearing Yuan Zhao's words, Yuan Gu calmed down and said:
"Father, let's investigate this matter thoroughly before making any decisions."
They must avenge their grievances, but they cannot be used as pawns.
"By the way, I heard it was that top scholar who reminded you that saved you from disaster today?"
Yuan then changed the subject.
"……yes."
Yuan Zhao was still thinking about what had happened that day and didn't notice that his father and brothers' eyes had changed.
Yuan's father coughed lightly and said:
"Then we should really thank that Scholar Gu."
"Yes, Zhao Zhao, I heard you know him? Why don't we invite him over to our house and thank him properly?"
Yuan Man chimed in.
Yuan Zhao thought for a moment and nodded:
"good."
She owes today's events to Gu Qingchen; otherwise, she would probably be dead by now. Moreover, Princess Chaoyang was also involved, so she naturally has to express her gratitude properly.
Unaware of her father and brothers' thoughts, she returned to her own courtyard after speaking with them.
"Miss, I'll keep watch tonight."
Ask the wind.
She was afraid that Yuan Zhao had been frightened today and would call for help tonight.
Yuan Zhao shook his head. That evil star must know about what happened today, and he should come over tonight.
Sure enough, Rong Ruo arrived shortly after she dismissed the others.
He was dressed in a red flying fish robe, and it seemed he had come directly here without even returning to his residence.
He first looked Yuan Zhao up and down, and seeing that the other party was not injured, he then spoke:
Didn't I tell you not to go out?
Yuan Zhao pursed his lips: "I thought the matter had been resolved."
Rong Ruo snorted coldly:
"Who do you think he was trying to drug? The Emperor?"
Rong Ruo said bluntly.
He didn't want to talk about this, but today he received news that Yuan Zhao had gone to see the parade of the top scholar and almost got into trouble.
Thinking of this, he added:
"Is the top scholar handsome?"
These words were so sarcastic that even Yuan Zhao couldn't help but frown. However, she didn't argue with Rong Ruo and instead carefully considered what he had just said.
Wasn't it to administer medicine to the Emperor?
Her initial guess was wrong.
So, who did the Second Prince drug?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately understood.
It's the Crown Prince!
Now, it is common knowledge that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are vying for the throne.
She had only thought of the Emperor, never imagining it could be the Crown Prince.
So, is today's matter the Crown Prince?
She suddenly looked at Rong Ruo, wanting to confirm her thoughts.
Seeing her expression, Rong Ruo knew she had figured out the details, and said calmly:
"You're not too stupid."
What happened today was indeed done by the Crown Prince.
"How could the Crown Prince know that I heard him?"
Yuan Zhao couldn't help but ask.
What she really wanted to say was, "Didn't you say it was all resolved? How come the investigation is still linked to her?"
Rong Ruo naturally understood the meaning behind her words and immediately snorted coldly:
"Do you think he was able to become the Crown Prince solely because he was born of the legitimate wife?"
Yuan Zhao: "..."
In her previous life, her world consisted only of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. In this second life, she still spends most of her time in the Yongning Marquis's mansion and doesn't really know much about the princes.
Now she realizes that she was terribly wrong.
What is the Yongning Marquis's mansion?
If the Yuan family is to be preserved, the imperial court will inevitably be involved.
Even though their father and brothers didn't want to get involved in the fighting, they couldn't tolerate it.
Just as I was thinking this, Rong Ruo suddenly spoke:
"Don't worry, I've avenged you too."
That's why he arrived so late today.
Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner; no one else can be touched by its people!
