"That's enough." The emperor suddenly said.
He looked at Hua Yuanzhao who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were slightly complicated: "This matter really has nothing to do with the eldest daughter of the Hua family."
Hua Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a pity in his heart.
We were just one step away from catching the real murderer! This palace maid managed to survive, but died at this time. It was really too unfair!
"Chang Su." The emperor shouted in a low voice, "You have been getting more and more incompetent lately! I ordered you to close the case within three days, and you are going to close it like this?"
Gu Changsu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Father, even so, it cannot prove that this case has nothing to do with Hua Yuanzhao!"
The room was under martial law just now, so where did this palace maid come from?
This woman must have done something!
"You are still stubborn and unrepentant!" The emperor scolded, "Why don't you apologize to the eldest daughter of the Hua family!"
Gu Changsu almost couldn't breathe - he was asked to apologize to Hua Yuanzhao? How could this be possible?
Prime Minister Hua quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it was originally because the dog girl secretly made the medicine without telling me, so it is understandable that the Third Prince misunderstood."
He described the misjudgment and false accusation as a misunderstanding and calmly gave Gu Changsu a way out.
By the way, Hua Yuanzhao was removed from this matter.
Otherwise, if the Third Prince investigated Hua Yuanzhao's crimes of escaping from prison and killing the jailer, the Prime Minister's Mansion would inevitably be implicated.
Gu Changsu was about to accuse Hua Yuanzhao of escaping from prison and killing people, but was blocked by the ladder handed to him by Prime Minister Hua.
"Your Majesty, since the eldest daughter of the Hua family has nothing to do with this case, could you allow me to take her back to Lin'an to detoxify her?" The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo took the opportunity to speak, without giving Gu Changsu a chance to speak.
She looked worried and said to the emperor, "An'er has been crazy for a long time. I am really distressed!"
The emperor nodded and looked at Hua Yuanzhao: "The eldest daughter of the Hua family."
Hua Yuanzhao straightened up quickly: "Your servant is here."
"The eldest daughter of the Hua family has made a great contribution in preparing the antidote. She will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Hua and then said, "She is allowed to open a clinic and practice medicine on her own."
Before Prime Minister Hua could say anything, Hua Yuanzhao knocked his head to the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After knocking on the door, Hua Yuanzhao finally reacted and looked up at the emperor in a daze.
——Could it be that her previous practice of medicine was illegal?
Gu Ci and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't bear to look at it, and even Gu Changyan couldn't help but curl his lips.
Prime Minister Hua's old face twitched and he glared at Hua Yuanzhao fiercely, his eyes full of disappointment.
Hua Yuanzhao blinked innocently, feeling that he must have been fooled by the emperor.
"Cough." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo coughed dryly, and under the pretext of detoxifying Lin'an, she forcibly dragged Hua Yuanzhao out of the imperial study.
Prime Minister Hua watched Hua Yuanzhao disappear and couldn't help but sigh, with complicated thoughts in his mind.
This daughter has really become different.
Until she left the house, Hua Yuanzhao seemed to still be able to feel Prime Minister Hua's gaze on her from behind.
…
No one knew what means the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo used. When Hua Yuanzhao saw Princess Lin'an, she was still in a coma.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo touched Princess Lin'an's hair lovingly, then stepped aside to motion Hua Yuanzhao to come forward.
Hua Yuanzhao stood still and looked at the unconscious Princess Lin'an with a frown.
"You want us to leave?" The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said straight to the point: "Or do you want... medical fees? Just tell me directly, An'er can't afford to delay."
Hua Yuanzhao coughed dryly and then said, "Before I entered the palace, I entrusted Fuling to the Fourteenth Prince. Madam, please send someone to pick her up."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded and continued to stare at Hua Yuanzhao, waiting for her to continue.
Hua Yuanzhao thought for a moment and added, "The consultation fee is ten taels."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo raised her eyebrows: "That's it?"
Hua Yuanzhao walked forward with a dry laugh and poured the antidote into Princess Lin'an's mouth.
What else? Rong Xiu risked her life to find the medicine and the Qionghua, so she was too embarrassed to take more!
After she finished taking the medicine, she gestured to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, "Just wake up the princess."
He slept for so many days, maybe he took drugs?
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo touched Princess Lin'an's hair with concern. After a long silence, she said, "Let her sleep for a while longer."
In fact, she was unsure and was afraid that her An'er would still be as crazy as before when he woke up.
Hua Yuanzhao was used to this kind of situation, so he didn't say much. He looked around and pointed to the soft couch outside and asked, "Can I sleep here for a while?"
She hasn't slept well for several days!
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded and said, "Please stay with me until An'er wakes up. You can stay in the Duke's Mansion for the next few days. I will go and talk to Prime Minister Hua."
Hua Yuanzhao thanked him and then leaned back on the couch and fell into a sleepy state.
Before she lost consciousness, she was still thinking: That guy Rong Xiu should have been released as well, right?
She slept for most of the afternoon, and when she woke up, the only sound was the wailing in her ears.
Hua Yuanzhao opened his eyes with difficulty, yawned and sat up: "What's wrong?"
Is there something wrong with her medicine?
Just as she finished her words, a figure rushed over like a whirlwind and knocked her back onto the soft couch, causing her tailbone to hurt.
The ghost-like howling sound just now turned into an inarticulate scream: "Sister Hua, have you gone to hell too!"
Hua Yuanzhao: ???
She took a deep breath and tried to push Princess Lin'an away, but the little girl didn't know where she got the strength from and just held her tightly and refused to let go.
"Calm down, can you still see the illusion?" Hua Yuanzhao tried to speak.
"Sister Hua, I'm so scared..."
"What did you see? Tell me, please?" Hua Yuanzhao tried to coax her.
Is it because the dosage is not enough? Is there still a lingering illusion?
"Sister Hua, I was wrong, please don't leave me, wuwuwuwuwu..."
Hua Yuanzhao had a headache and looked around for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Just then, the maid Hongying pushed the door open, and after seeing this scene, she closed the door silently.
Hua Yuanzhao: ???
Why is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion so unreliable?
She was frantically trying to coax people, and even forced Princess Lin'an, who was crying, to drink some medicine again.
Hongying was also very distressed when she heard the crying inside. She looked at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo standing in the yard and asked tentatively: "Madam, are we really not going in?"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo glared at her with a pale face. After a long silence, she said, "It's time to teach her a lesson."
Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished. An'er is a child who has had things go too smoothly for him, which is why he has developed a spoiled and selfish character.
It's time to teach.
