Hua Yuanzhao uttered "ah" and then revealed a look of guilt.
"I'm sorry, father. I really didn't think this through." Hua Yuanzhao said apologetically, "When I was removing the poison from Madam Xu, I accidentally discovered that she had a heart disease..."
Zhu'er had mentioned this just now, so it wasn't surprising for her to bring this up.
Aunt Su's face was full of sarcasm. She had put so much effort into planning this time. Could it be that this bitch thought that she could get away with it by just using the word "heart disease"?
"Plus, the poison she was poisoned with damaged her heart and lungs, causing her old illness to relapse and put her in critical condition." Hua Yuanzhao said calmly. When he noticed Prime Minister Hua's nervous look, he continued, "Of course, the situation has stabilized now."
"What?" Aunt Su exclaimed in shock, but quickly calmed down: "I mean, even if that's the case, why weren't Zhao'er and Madam in the room just now?"
Hua Yuanzhao smiled awkwardly and said seriously: "Madam was in an emergency, so I had to take her to Linyuan Garden for treatment... Now that the situation has stabilized, I came out to report that she is safe..."
"But, I remember I should have said that no one is allowed to disturb me when I am treating patients. How did Aunt know that I was not in the room?" She paused for a moment and looked around, wondering, "Also, why are there so many people in the mansion..."
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
After a long while, Prime Minister Hua was the first to say, "Nothing."
Hua Yuanzhao smiled slightly, ignoring the stiffness in his tone, and pulled out a prescription that he had already written from his sleeve.
"Father, I'm missing a few medicinal herbs. Could you please find them as soon as possible?" Hua Yuanzhao said frankly.
Prime Minister Hua nodded stiffly and glanced at Li Gu beside him.
Li Gu reluctantly stepped forward to take the prescription and said respectfully, "Don't worry, Miss. We can find it in a quarter of an hour at most."
Although these medicines are expensive, they are not in short supply in the warehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing the smoke gradually dissipating, Hua Yuanshan could no longer bear it and stood up and yelled, "You are lying!"
"Prince Rong was brought out from your Linyuan Garden! If it is true as you said, why didn't you say anything when Prince Rong was arrested?" Hua Yuanzhao asked confidently.
Hua Yuanzhao raised his eyes and glared at Rongxiu, with a hint of danger in his eyes.
Rong Xiu touched his nose awkwardly and asked confidently, "Who knew you were looking for our own daughter in our own house? If I didn't know, I would have thought you were searching for a fugitive!"
"Besides, Miss Hua never likes to be disturbed when she is treating a patient!" Rong Xiu crossed his arms and lied calmly, "I helped Miss Hua carry Madam Xu to Linyuan Garden. When I was about to leave, that guy invited me to the main hall."
Rong Xiu raised his chin and nodded at Li Gu, saying depressedly: "I am depressed too!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, Prime Minister Hua was so angry that veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Mr. Rong just said that he came to see me for important matters. How come he ended up in the main courtyard?" Prime Minister Hua asked, not believing his full-of-loop words at all.
Rong Xiu scratched his chin and smiled shyly: "Well, I just want to have some fun in the bridal chamber and see the world, to see what it means to be outshined by a tree full of flowers..."
"Rong Xiu!" The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo shouted with a dark face.
This is becoming more and more ridiculous!
Rong Xiu shrugged and said openly, "I knew that the truth would not sound good, so I lied when Lord Hua asked me before... Well, Lord Hua, you don't mind, right?"
Prime Minister Hua was almost irritated to death by this boy's reckless appearance, and his hands hanging under his sleeves could not help but tremble.
This little devil is simply unreasonable!
At this moment, everyone present, including Hua Yuanzhao, remembered Rong Xiu's name that once resounded throughout the capital.
——The devil of the world!
Princess Lin'an was completely clueless and asked crisply, "What does it mean when a pear blossom overshadows a crabapple blossom? Didn't the pear blossom wither a long time ago?"
Before she could finish her words, Hua Yuanzhao next to her covered her mouth.
Hua Yuanzhao took a deep breath, ignored Rong Xiu's protesting look, and said to Princess Lin'an carefully: "Be good, don't learn bad things from your brother..."
Rong Xiu looked at his sister with disdain, but thought in his heart: Do I need to learn her bad qualities?
Aunt Su found this peaceful scene ridiculous. She had prepared carefully for so long, but couldn't she even kill Xu?
Or is Hua Yuanzhao just bluffing to buy time?
Aunt Su clenched her fists and looked up at Prime Minister Hua, "Master, since Zhao'er said that Madam is fine, why don't we go see Madam first?"
