"Everyone has his own destiny." Jing Yuchen didn't care and replied calmly.
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen and said, "She's an innocent pawn, a victim. Are you so cold-blooded?"
Jing Yuchen still didn't care: "She volunteered, didn't she?"
Ni Yueshan thought so too, and took Jing Yuchen's water and drank another glass.
Jing Yuchen glared: "I'm thirsty too!"
"Tsk, don't we have a kettle? Just drink from it!"
Jing Yuchen felt somewhat helpless, he picked up the kettle and drank directly from it. Ni Yueshan looked at him in astonishment, he actually did it, was he so obedient?
"Isn't there a cup next to it? You really are." Ni Yueshan scolded.
Jing Yuchen happily put down the kettle and poured water for Ni Yueshan. "The water I've drunk will taste better when I give it to you."
"Idiot." Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at him and stood up. "It's getting late. I'm going to go see Xue'er."
Ni Yueshan walked away without looking back, not giving Jing Yuchen any face at all and asking for another sip. Jing Yuchen felt very depressed.
At the Tai Mansion, the maid, after inquiring about the situation, went to Minister Tai and reported, "Grand Master, I haven't learned anything about the red silk, but some people say that if something was wrapped inside the red silk and burned, it would truly be a case of witchcraft!"
Minister Tai walked out with a serious expression.
Tai Lao immediately called out from behind him, "Dad, where are you going?"
But Minister Tai ignored him and walked straight to Tai Banxue's room. A servant beside him said worriedly, "Grand Master, the young lady's condition hasn't improved. What if you go in and get infected?"
But Minister Tai ignored him and stretched out his hand, ready to push the door open.
The servants still followed behind, still anxiously saying: "Master, this cannot be done!"
After arriving at the room, he ignored everything and lifted the bed curtain, and saw Tai Banxue lying on the bed with her eyes open.
He quickly stepped forward and held Tai Banxue's hand: "My dear granddaughter, I'm sorry for making you suffer during this period of time!"
Tai Banxue looked at the kind old man in front of her, pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, wanted to smile, but started coughing instead: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will be fine..."
"Banxue, tell Grandpa why you want to help the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Tai Banxue looked extremely weak, and she might not have the energy to answer Minister Tai's questions.
She was silent for a long time, and Minister Tai sighed, "You've grown up now, and you keep everything to yourself."
Tai Banxue finally pulled herself together and responded, "Grandpa, I... like..."
She didn't finish her words because she couldn't stand the itchiness in her throat and started coughing.
"Like?" Minister Tai asked with a puzzled look, "Who?"
Tai Banxue smiled and said, "Knight."
After he finished speaking, his eyes slowly closed, obviously he was extremely tired.
The maid standing nearby was a little surprised: "Isn't the knight General Zou?"
Minister Tai stood up, Zou Yangyao?
Did Tai Banxue falsely testify for Zou Yangyao because she liked him? How could Tai Banxue be so bold?
He clenched his fists in anger. Tai Banxue's personality shouldn't foolishly perjure anyone. But if she liked him, it would be different. Was Zou Yangyao using her?
The next day, during the morning court session, Minister Tai took the initiative to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."
Miao Qinghua was slightly displeased, but still uttered one word: "Sure!"
"Empress Dowager, the prince has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and is a criminal. And my granddaughter's symptoms of the plague have not improved recently. I dare not isolate her in the palace and want to move her out of the capital!"
"It's just that the prince and her wedding date is only a short time away, this..."
Miao Qinghua was confused when she first heard this, but now she understood.
Jing Yuchen, who was standing nearby, then spoke up: "Minister Tai, doesn't everyone know the prescription for this plague? Why hasn't the condition improved in such a long time? Could it be some other plague?"
Minister Tai replied honestly, "Your Majesty, the symptoms of the plague have already been examined by the imperial physician, who concluded that it is indeed another plague, so it is difficult to cure. That is why I am thinking of relocating the people to prevent the harm to others in the city."
The other ministers were a little unhappy when they heard this.
"If you knew it was some other plague, why did you wait until now?"
"That's right, you've been with your granddaughter all day for such a long time. What if you were infected? As colleagues, shouldn't we stay away from you?"
Hearing such discussions, Jing Yuchen raised his lips and said, "Queen Dowager, why not cancel their engagement? One is a plague patient, the other is a criminal. It's only been a short time since they were engaged, and you're letting them suffer so much? It's really not right!"
