Gao Hongyuan lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought. Su Ruojin didn't urge him, but continued drinking her tea, waiting for Gao Hongyuan's reply.
"Dr. Ye, please come to my residence at the beginning of the morning tomorrow."
Gao Hongyuan had agreed, and Su Ruojin didn't say anything more. She got up to take her leave, saying, "I will definitely be there on time tomorrow."
No sooner had Su Ruojin left than Gao Hongyuan summoned someone and ordered, "Go and investigate whether any strange people have come to Xiaoyue recently, especially women whose appearances have been disfigured. Also, go and fetch Princess Yuening for me."
Is there really such a coincidence in this world?
Could it be that Zhao Ruojin knows Ye Zhao, and that the person Ye Zhao wants to save is Zhao Ruojin?
Or has that person come down from the mountain to Longxiao?!
"Yes!" Just as the guard was about to leave, a servant rushed in, "Grand Preceptor, Princess Yuening requests an audience."
Oh, what a perfect timing!
"Let her in."
A moment later, Yue Ning led Mu Hua in quickly. "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor."
"Yuening, what is it?" Gao Hongyuan asked calmly.
Yuening was a little embarrassed, but after thinking for a moment, she still asked, "Grand Preceptor, do you still have any Gu?"
Gao Hongyuan raised his head and looked at her coldly, "What do you mean?"
Seeing the Imperial Advisor's reaction, Yuening's heart tightened, and she stammered, "Imperial Advisor, this isn't my fault. It was the servants who were foolish and administered the poison incorrectly, not to Zhao Ruojin, so..."
When Yuening learned that the Gu had been placed on Zhao Ruojin's maid, she immediately had the person who sent her to do it beaten to death.
These rubbish!
If they can't even handle this small matter, what's the point of keeping them around?
"Who did you put it on?" Gao Hongyuan asked.
Some things are too coincidental to be coincidences.
"It fell...it fell on Zhao Ruojin's maid." Yuening lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.
"Yuening, I remember saying that this was a one-time thing, and there would be no next time! Did you think that Gu was so easy to raise, and you actually wasted it on a maid!"
"Grand Preceptor, I really didn't mean it. Please give me one more chance, and I promise I won't make the same mistake again," Yuening pleaded.
"Someone, show the guest out!" Gao Hongyuan didn't give Yue Ning a chance at all.
He had been kind to Yuening before, only because Empress Dowager Wu still doted on the princess. But he never expected Yuening to be so foolish.
"Imperial Preceptor..." Yu Ning wanted to say something, but a steward from the manor came over and gestured for her to come this way. "Princess, this way please."
Gao Hongyuan had his back to Yue Ning, whose eyes were a little red. She had never been treated like this before.
She could get angry at others, but she dared not at the Imperial Advisor, so she could only turn and leave indignation.
If the imperial advisor won't help her, then she'll have to find a way herself.
Enraged, Yuening had long forgotten the Empress Dowager's instructions.
Gao Hongyuan recalled what Yue Ning had said about the Gu poison being administered to Zhao Ruojin's maid.
That shouldn't be the person Ye Zhao was talking about. A maidservant, she's dead, it's no big deal. Ye Zhao wouldn't come looking for him for a maidservant.
Thinking of the appointment for the next day, Gao Hongyuan called out, "Night Falcon, come with me to the palace."
Yuening returned to her residence, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
"Mu Hua, go find the Night Alliance members and offer five thousand taels for Zhao Ruojin's head."
Just as the Great Chu had a Dark Alliance, Xiaoyue also had a Night Alliance organization that worked for money.
"Yes, Princess." Mu Hua turned and left.
