There was no sense of surprise in Ni Yueshan's words. It sounded like he had known for a long time that she was pretending.
Tai Banxue knew she couldn't continue acting. She opened her eyes and looked at Ni Yueshan angrily: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Ni Yueshan put away the dagger. Tai Banxue also sat up on the bed. Ni Yueshan chuckled and asked, "You're clearly getting better, but you didn't tell the people in the General's Mansion. Are you planning to kill Xiao Chu'er?"
Tai Banxue snorted, "I was so eager to help you back then, but it turns out I was just a pawn!"
"You're deliberately using me, so why should I care about her life or death? Okay, now you know I'm faking my illness! You can go now. Tell the General's Mansion that they can be saved by just using my prescription!"
Tai Banxue turned her face away arrogantly, her expression showing only impatience.
Ni Yueshan didn't move to leave, but instead asked, "Then why don't you think about this: if we really wanted you to die, how could Xiao Chu'er also be infected with the plague? It's true that we want to use you, but it's also true that we don't want you to die."
"Your engagement with Jing Lecheng is a headache for everyone. Since I can make you and him happy, let you suffer a little and be exempted from the crime of disobeying the imperial decree, this is a good deal, isn't it?"
Tai Banxue just snorted and turned away from Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan naturally felt that there was no other point in staying. He could only sigh and say, "I originally thought that you and I were not on good terms before, but now there is a possibility that we can become friends. Now it seems that forget it. After all, it is not suitable!"
Ni Yueshan walked out without getting angry or doing anything bad to her.
Tai Banxue was a little surprised. Just left like that?
Ni Yueshan walked out, and Qingfeng immediately followed. Ni Yueshan raised his head and said, "Let's go back to Beijing. She has resentment in her heart, so she hopes Chu'er will die. Chu'er has suffered this pain, so let's take it as compensation!"
In the capital, inside the Zou Mansion.
As soon as the city gate of the capital opened, Qingluan rushed in on horseback and arrived at the general's mansion. She informed Zou Yangyao of her discovery. Zou Yangyao quickly asked his servants to boil medicine for Xiao Chuer and treat her as soon as possible so that she could save her life.
Then he asked, "Why is your princess still staying there and not coming back?"
Qingluan answered honestly: "He said he would come back after checking Miss Tai's conscience."
Zou Yangyao showed a look of realization. When his eyes fell on Xiao Chuer again, he said worriedly, "Chuer, wake up soon."
After Ni Yueshan returned to the capital, she went to the general's mansion. This time, Zou Yangyao did not drive her away.
Ni Yueshan stood by the bed and spoke to comfort her, "You don't have to worry too much. Miss Tai will get better, and I believe Chu'er will too."
Zou Yangyao didn't look at Ni Yueshan. His eyes were on the bed, and he said "hmm" lightly.
There was no point in Ni Yueshan staying, so he finally left.
When I returned to the palace, I learned that Jing Yuchen was not at home and had gone to the Heavenly Prison.
When Duan Gouqiong learned that Ni Yueshan had returned, he asked to see her.
Ni Yueshan had no choice but to go into the room. Duan Gouqiong said anxiously, "There's no point in locking me up here, right? I want to go to the cell to see Lecheng."
Ni Yueshan was a little embarrassed: "Now is an emergency period, why don't you just endure it? Don't worry, the prison is heavily guarded, no one will hurt Lecheng!"
But Duan Gouqiong still wanted to leave and meet Shao Lecheng.
Seeing that she was very depressed, Ni Yueshan sat down beside her and said, "How about we go after nightfall?"
Duan Gouqiong's eyes lit up, and then he nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
In the sky prison, Jing Yuchen interrogated General Miao to see if he would confess that the jewels looted from the General's Mansion were part of his embezzlement and bribery. General Miao just looked indifferent and was unwilling to admit it.
Jing Yuchen was not in a hurry. He chuckled and said to the jailers in the cell: "Keep the general under guard, but don't let anyone rob him!"
Then he snorted, walked away and headed for the palace.
When Miao Qinghua heard that Jing Yuchen wanted to see her to discuss the final verdict of General Miao, she immediately said, "I've fallen asleep and told you to wait patiently!"
The palace servant obediently withdrew and prepared to pass on the message, but Miao Qinghua immediately changed her mind and said, "Wait!"
The palace maid looked at Miao Qinghua in confusion. Miao Qinghua said hesitantly, "Let's send the person over!"
Jing Yuchen was brought into the hall. Miao Qinghua sat upright, watching him salute, and did not ask anyone to stand up.
"I wonder how the Regent's trial of the Grand Marshal's case is going these days?"
"The results are out." Jing Yuchen responded calmly.
