"What? The Imperial Advisor!"
Jiang Mubai was even more shocked. It wasn't enough that the Regent was involved with Ye Jintang's affairs; now there was also the Imperial Preceptor.
It's important to know that both the Regent and the Grand Preceptor are extraordinary individuals.
He vaguely felt that this matter was related to Ye Jintang, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment.
Jiang Mubai was both angry and annoyed at the thought.
If he had known this woman was so capable, he should have treated Ye Jintang better in the first place, and things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
In that instant, Jiang Mubai regretted it.
But it's no use saying anything now; he has to find a way to rescue Su Xuerou from the palace.
Even if we can't, we must stop Su Xuerou from talking nonsense!
"My lord, the old lady has vomited blood!"
When the maid's voice came over, Jiang Mubai immediately became agitated upon hearing that it concerned his mother.
He practically rushed out of the study and asked the maid standing there, "What did you just say?"
"What happened to my mother...?!"
"The old lady... I don't know what happened to her. After regaining consciousness, she suddenly vomited blood and has now fallen into a coma again."
The maid who reported the incident trembled with fear at Jiang Mubai's sudden aura.
"He's vomiting blood... How could things have gotten so serious!"
He remembered that his mother's condition had improved since the last time, but how could things have turned out like this in less than half a month?
Jiang Mubai's unease intensified.
He hurried to Madam Jiang's courtyard, only to find the maids standing there, at a loss.
Old Madam Jiang lay on the bed, her breath extremely weak, her face pale, making him think she was about to...
"Where's the doctor? What are you all doing standing here? Isn't anyone going to clean up the doctor's mess?"
After confirming that his mother was still breathing, Jiang Mubai's anger flared even more when he saw the maids.
"My lord, the doctor is on his way..."
Just as the maid was speaking, the steward hurriedly arrived with his men.
"They're here! They're here!"
"My lord, the doctor is already waiting outside."
Jiang Mubai's face darkened. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell him to come in quickly."
What's wrong with this butler? He can't even distinguish between what's important and what's urgent.
After the doctor entered the room, he immediately began to treat Madam Jiang.
But as soon as he took the pulse, the doctor kept shaking his head.
"Doctor, please tell me, what's wrong with the old lady?"
Seeing the doctor like this, the housekeeper felt uneasy.
Although Jiang Mubai did not speak, the butler's words were exactly what he wanted to ask.
What could possibly make the doctor shake his head, or was his mother's condition really that serious?
"Lord Jiang, I am incompetent. Please find someone more capable."
After taking the pulse, the doctor stood up and said with a helpless expression.
"What did you say?" Jiang Mubai's voice suddenly rose, filled with anger and disbelief.
"Judging from the pulse, the old lady is fine, but her lips are blue and her face is pale, which seems like she is possessed."
"In this situation, Lord Jiang, you might as well invite a Taoist priest; it might be more effective than medical treatment."
"What!"
Jiang Mubai was even more surprised, never expecting such an outcome.
"Nonsense! My mother is perfectly fine, how could she be possessed by an evil spirit!"
"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me!"
The doctor looked apprehensive, perhaps genuinely fearing that Jiang Mubai would make a move at this moment, and replied, "Lord Jiang, if you don't believe me, I have another person in mind."
"If that person is willing to come, perhaps there is a possibility that the old lady's condition can be treated."
"Who?" Jiang Mubai asked immediately.
The butler was also extremely anxious and urged the doctor to speak.
"Doctor, stop keeping me in suspense and tell the Marquis everything you know."
"Miss Ye from Huishengtang".
"You mean Ye Jintang?"
"That's right," the doctor nodded in response.
Jiang Mubai turned his face away and snorted coldly, "Ye Jintang is just a woman after all. What abilities could she possibly have? Didn't you just say that this matter was related to being possessed by an evil spirit?"
"What, does it mean that with Ye Jintang here, everything will be solved?"
"Lord Jiang, how could you speak of Miss Ye like that!"
Upon hearing Jiang Mubai's words, the doctor's emotions instantly became agitated.
The steward was helpless; judging from the doctor's condition, he probably didn't know about Ye Jintang's relationship with the Marquis.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like that.
Given the previous grudges and Su Xuerou's frequent targeting, how could Ye Jintang possibly be willing to come?
Jiang Mubai's face darkened; he had also realized this.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Mubai angrily rebuked him, and the butler, seeing that the situation was not right, hurriedly sent the doctor away.
When he returned, he saw Jiang Mubai standing there alone, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"What do you think of this matter, Lord Marquis..."
"I refuse to believe that we can't do without Ye Jintang!"
Jiang Mubai gave a cold shout. If he went to find Ye Jintang, it would be tantamount to asking him to bow down to her.
How could he tolerate such a thing!
"Keep searching for him! Doctors or Taoist priests, anyone who can cure him, bring them all to me!"
"I refuse to believe that Ye Jintang is beyond cure."
"Yes... also..."
Seeing Jiang Mubai like this, the butler wanted to say something, but didn't know whether he should.
Jiang Mubai also noticed the butler's hesitation.
"What else!"
"My lord, I've heard that the reason the madam was taken away from the palace was because of the use of evil magic. Do you think the old lady's matter could be related to this?"
Jiang Mubai glanced at him, and the butler quickly changed his tune.
"Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I was being nosy. I will go find someone who can treat the old lady right away."
The housekeeper turned and left the room, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Jiang Mubai would also hold her accountable.
Jiang Mubai clenched his fists, feeling that everything had become a mess.
It wasn't enough that Ye Jintang was involved; now Su Xuerou has been dragged into it too.
It turns out it's related to evil magic?
If Su Xuerou really knew any evil magic, she should have used that ability to help herself, instead of being taken away directly.
Ultimately, all of this is utter nonsense!
Inside the Heavenly Prison.
Su Xuerou was imprisoned here, and she was terrified. She didn't understand how she ended up in this place after regaining consciousness.
Or is this matter related to Yip Kam Tong again?
Yes, it must be her!
The more Su Xuerou thought about it, the more certain she became. If Ye Jintang hadn't interfered, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!
Upon seeing a guard approach, Su Xuerou shouted, "You people, release me immediately! I am the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, the daughter of Minister Su!"
"Are you called Su Xuerou?"
Hearing the commotion, the guard coldly questioned Su Xuerou.
Su Xuerou was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "That's right."
"Then that's right!"
