The princess heaved a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "Good! Good!"
Finally, they got some good news. No matter what, it was a happy event for them that Emperor Mu Wu had woken up at this time.
But the current situation...
The princess looked at Ye Chutang again: "Chutang, do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Ye Chutang's eyes passed lightly across Xiao Lanxi's face.
When Xiao Lanxi heard the news that Emperor Mu Wu had woken up, she just frowned for a moment, and her expression quickly returned to normal.
It seems like he doesn't care about this matter.
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly.
"Yes, there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed with the Third Princess."
As she spoke, she took a step forward and spoke calmly and directly, as if she was casually talking about the nice weather today:
"If the Third Princess has the antidote for King Lie, then I think she should also have the antidote for Your Majesty?"
Xiao Lanxi suddenly looked at Ye Chutang!
Everyone was also shocked by this question. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they reacted one after another - Ye Chutang meant that the person who put the slow-acting poison in Emperor Mu Wu's food was also Xiao Lanxi! ?
“This, this…”
Several ministers looked at each other in shock and disbelief.
"Impossible? She went to Guanling a long time ago and hasn't been back to the capital for several years, let alone set foot in the palace. How could she have the opportunity to do it?"
"That's hard to say. Who knows if she has found someone in advance? After all, she doesn't need to do this kind of thing herself."
"That's right. Since she harbors hatred towards the Second Prince, how can we know that she doesn't hate Your Majesty as well? Speaking of which, she was raised by Concubine Jiang when she was young, so perhaps she knew that Your Majesty had a heart disease at that time!"
That makes sense.
Few people knew that Emperor Mu Wu had a heart disease, so they directly suspected Jiang Qingmei.
But Jiang Qingmei really had no reason to do so, as it would do her more harm than good.
However, if it was Xiao Lanxi...it would be different!
Xiao Chengxuan had also reacted by now, and was filled with overwhelming hatred.
"Great! My mother treated you like her own daughter, and this is how you repay her!"
Xiao Lanxi sneered softly as if she had heard something ridiculous.
"My biological daughter? You mean, like Xiao Jiayi? No, how can I compare with her."
Xiao Jiayi has been doted on since she was a child. As soon as she reached the age of 15, they took the trouble to select a good husband for her. When she got married, she had a grand wedding with a huge bouquet of flowers and a lot of splendor.
She was left in Guanling until they needed her, and then they called her back.
How could this be the same?
Xiao Chengxuan clenched his fists tightly: "If my mother hadn't taken pity on you and insisted on taking you to Yaohua Palace to be raised, you would have died somewhere in this palace! Now you are repaying kindness with hatred, I really misjudged you!"
Xiao Lanxi had already become impatient.
She stared at Xiao Chengxuan coldly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes and a smile full of sarcasm.
"You think you are a superior and you want others to be grateful to you for your charity. You are just like her, and you are just as stupid as her."
In this state, where is the timid and cowardly person she once was?
Xiao Chengxuan was furious: "You!"
He subconsciously rushed forward, but was stopped by the guards quickly.
The eldest princess frowned slightly.
A prince and a princess actually made such a scene in public!
"What are you still standing there for? Take him away!"
She looked at Xiao Lanxi again and took a deep breath.
"You will not be sent to the Ministry of Justice. Go back to where you came from!"
Xiao Lanxi was stunned.
Obviously, no one expected this result.
"Princess, she has committed such a crime and deserves death! She should be taken to the Ministry of Justice for trial immediately!"
The eldest princess raised her hand to signal them not to persuade her any further.
"I understand what you said. Accounts must be settled, but not now."
Everyone wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the eldest princess's firm attitude, they had no choice but to obey.
Ye Chutang was not surprised by this.
The Wazhen delegation is about to arrive in the capital. If this news were to be leaked at this time, it would definitely cause chaos.
So, now we have to suppress all these things.
Ye Chutang glanced at Xiao Lanxi calmly, and saw that she froze for a moment when she knew that she would not be sent to the Ministry of Justice.
Although it was only a momentary reaction, it already explained so many things.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows with interest.
She withdrew her gaze and saluted the eldest princess.
"Since your majesty has woken up, Chu Tang will leave first."
The princess nodded and said, "Okay, you go first. I'll go after I finish dealing with things here."
Ye Chutang curled his lips, turned and left.
When she passed Xiao Lanxi, she paused, turned her head slightly, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"So, is it worth it?"
Xiao Lanxi's heart was shocked, but her expression did not change at all.
Only the slightly trembling hands beneath her sleeves revealed that she was not as indifferent as she seemed.
Ye Chutang didn't stay any longer and walked out.
…
Walking around the screen, the bitter smell of medicine hit my nose.
This was accompanied by a low, hoarse cough.
Ye Chutang looked up and saw that Emperor Mu Wu had already stood up from the dragon bed and was half leaning on the soft pillow.
Chu Qiyuan was sitting on a round stool beside the bed, taking his pulse.
Hearing the noise, Chu Qiyuan immediately turned around with a look of joy on his face.
"Chu Tang, you're here."
Ye Chutang first stepped forward and saluted Emperor Mu Wu, then looked at Chu Qiyuan and replied with a smile: "Yes. As soon as I heard the news that Your Majesty woke up, I rushed here immediately. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me for being delayed for a while."
Emperor Mu Wu regained some strength and shook his head.
"No problem. You saved my life, let alone other things."
"Chu Tang doesn't dare."
Ye Chutang lowered his head slightly.
"Your Majesty, God bless you and you will be safe."
Emperor Mu Wu's pale lips moved, as if he smiled.
"I know my own body very well, so you don't need to say these nice words to coax me."
Ye Chutang discovered that Emperor Mu Wu had changed.
After this serious illness, his spirit was obviously not as good as before. Not only did he look haggard and thinner, but the sharpness in his eyes also gradually faded, revealing a tired and old look.
Now, wearing a shirt and leaning against the head of the bed, he looked no different from an old man approaching old age.
Even if you possess the most honorable status in the world, the richest land and wealth, in the face of life and death, you are just an ordinary person.
Ye Chutang said: "It was mainly the Prince's Envoy who did the work. I have only done my humble part and I dare not take credit for it."
Emperor Mu Wu looked at her and suddenly shook his head and smiled.
"Ye Zheng is a simple-minded man who always behaves uprightly. Who would have thought that he would give birth to such a smart daughter."
Chu Qiyuan finally withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty already knows that it was you who gave him acupuncture and medication to stabilize his condition after he fell into a coma, so you should not refuse."
As he spoke, he stood up and gave up his seat.
"First, take His Majesty's pulse and take a look." (End of this chapter)
