"General, don't rush. My queen still has questions for the Imperial Household Department. You can take action after you've asked her." Xiao Yanchu's eyes remained calm and composed.
Tokugi Yasuhito looked at Tokugi Shingo, who nodded slightly. He sheathed his long sword and angrily returned to his position.
Su Ruojin looked at Izumi Masako, who was kneeling on the ground and whose face was lifeless, and asked, "Lord Odai, was it you who led the Crown Prince to my daughter?"
Izumi Masako was startled and looked sharply at Su Ruojin.
She felt she had been discreet enough; how could the Princess Consort of Great Chu possibly know?
The reactions of Su Ruojin and Quan Yazi were enough to tell the answer without needing to ask further.
What a coincidence! Nian'er rarely goes out for a stroll and just happens to run into Deyi Yongcheng.
She had someone inquire about the situation and found out that Deyi Yongcheng had originally planned to turn left after leaving the izakaya that day, so he wouldn't have run into Nian'er and the others on the right.
As a result, two elderly women on the left side of the road got into an argument over a price discrepancy, which attracted onlookers and blocked the road, causing Deyi Yongcheng to change his route.
Wu Yushan also said that he and Nian'er were looking at the clay figurine stall by the roadside when several children suddenly squeezed over. Nian'er was caught off guard and was pushed, bumping into a young man surnamed Deyi Yongcheng who was passing by. This is what caught Deyi Yongcheng's attention.
Given this, how could Su Ruojin not be suspicious? Furthermore, now that Izumi Masako has deliberately framed her for taking an extra snake-kiss hook, there's nothing she can't understand.
Izumi Masako intended to frame Tokuyoshi Yuzuru for his death, thereby inciting conflict between her and Tokuyoshi Yasuhito.
Recalling the information she had investigated, Su Ruojin sighed inwardly, thinking that the Imperial Household Agency truly hated Deyi Kangren to death.
Since Midai-sho couldn't deal with Tokuyoshi Yasuhito on his own, he wanted to use her to do the work.
What a clever tactic of using someone else to do the dirty work.
It must be said that Odaisho's idea was not wrong, but after all, she had been trapped in the shogunate by Tokuyoshi Yasuhito for many years, and she did some things without being thorough enough.
Su Ruojin disliked Deyi Kangren, but she also disliked being used by others.
Masako Izumi remained silent. Everyone present was shrewd and capable; who could possibly misunderstand her?
"General, what are your plans regarding this matter?" Su Ruojin asked.
Deyi Kangren also figured out the key points.
Masako Izumi is a vicious woman!
They actually wanted to use the people of Da Chu to deal with him.
He will not let her go, nor will he let the Guan family behind her go!
if only......
Thinking of this, Deyi Kangren gave Su Ruojin a meaningful look.
"Princess Consort of Great Chu, about this matter..."
Just then, a man suddenly entered, carrying a bottle in his hands. "General, sir, I found this in the Princess's pharmacy at the villa."
To allow Su Ruojin to focus on developing the antidote, the villa had prepared a special pharmacy for her, which was not open to anyone other than Su Ruojin and her people.
Su Ruojin glanced at the man; he looked somewhat familiar, like a servant from the villa.
Her pharmacy is guarded by secret guards, how did he get in?
“Show it to the head of the Ono family,” said Tokuyoshi Yasuhito.
Hojo Rin stepped forward, took the medicine bottle, and handed it to Ono Yuuki.
Ono Yuuki carefully opened the medicine bottle, then exclaimed in shock, "General, this is Lingmeizhi!"
Deyi Kangren stared intently at Su Ruojin, "Princess Consort of Great Chu, what explanation do you have?"
Su Ruojin ignored Deyi Kangren and looked at Ono Yuki instead, "Patriarch Ono, are you sure this is Ling Meizhi?"
Ono Yuuki nodded. "The smell of this medicine is exactly the same as the color of the Lingmeizhi when it's dissolved in water. I can't possibly be mistaken."
If you don't believe me, General, you can have someone find a kitten or puppy to try it.
But the shogunate didn't have cats or dogs, and searching outside would waste time. Tokuyoshi Yasuhito didn't have that patience, so he casually pointed to a maid and said, "No need for that trouble, let her try."
