Chapter 219
"Your Highness, you've finally returned." Liu Ming's eyes welled up with tears of excitement as he saw Xu Heming sitting in front of the old princess's bed.
"Butler Liu, where is Zheng Qiaoshu?" Xu Heming asked coldly when he saw Liu Ming.
Since Zheng Qiaoshu dared to poison his mother, she should be prepared to face his wrath.
"Your Highness, this old servant has already had Zheng Qiaoshu imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion prison, awaiting your judgment," Liu Ming said excitedly to Xu Heming.
He felt aggrieved when he thought about Zheng Qiaoshu accusing him of poisoning the old princess. The reason he had refrained from causing trouble for Zheng Qiaoshu these past few days was to wait for the prince to return and deal with her.
That is, we must wait for the prince to return so he can punish her.
Liu Ming knew that the prince would never let Zheng Qiaoshu go.
The prince's punishment will only be more severe than I can do.
Xu Heming glanced at the still unconscious old princess and then went to the prison to settle accounts with Zheng Qiaoshu.
"cough!"
"Your Highness, you're awake?" Xiu Hong, who was standing nearby, saw the old princess cough lightly and quickly stepped forward to say to her.
The old princess felt dizzy and disoriented, as if she had slept for a long time.
Actually, she did wake up a few times during that time, but she was too weak and fell asleep again soon after.
Xiuhong didn't know if the old princess knew she was calling her.
However, the old princess had been like this for several days, and the people at Ci'an Hall were very worried.
"Dr. Zhang!" Granny Luo called out as soon as she saw this.
These days, the old princess has experienced this condition no less than a hundred times, but each time, they can't help but ask Doctor Zhang to come and take a look.
Now, Dr. Zhang simply waited outside Ci'an Hall.
"Mother, how are you feeling?" Xu Heming had just returned and assumed that the old princess was awake and wanted to get up.
"Your Highness, may the master examine the old princess first?" Doctor Zhang, who had just entered, noticed the areas he hadn't examined and asked in a low voice.
"Um."
Xu Heming stood aside, waiting for Doctor Zhang to examine the old princess.
Xiuhong and Granny Luo stood anxiously to the side, fearing that, like before, the old princess would fall asleep again in no time.
"Ming'er?" The old princess remembered that Xu Heming had gone to Li'an County.
Why did you come back?
"Mother? How are you feeling?" Xu Heming asked quickly.
"It's nothing, I'm just old and useless. Didn't Qing Shi come back?" The old princess was unaware that Zheng Qiaoshu had poisoned her; she only thought it was because she was old and something was wrong.
However, when he saw his son return, he looked behind Xu Heming but did not see Xu Qingshi, whom he had been longing for, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Xu Heming felt slightly uncomfortable.
“Mother, Qingshi and I just returned today. Qingshi is exhausted from the journey and hasn’t recovered yet. He will come to see you after he rests for a while,” Xu Heming said softly to the old princess.
