Everyone became more alert, and Su Ziyang kept his hand on the soft sword at his waist.
According to the rules, those who enter the shogunate are not allowed to carry swords, but Su Ruojin and her entourage are envoys of the Great Chu, and according to the laws of Yamato, this rule does not apply.
Hojo Rin, who was leading the way, noticed something amiss and quickly said with a smile, "Please don't be nervous, everyone. Because of the Crown Prince's passing, the Shogun has strengthened the Shogunate's defenses."
Xiao Yanchu glanced at Hojo, but remained silent, his guardedness undiminished.
Having fought in desert battles for many years, he has an unusual sensitivity to danger.
Hojo Rin's words did not put him at ease in the slightest.
Xiao Yanchu was already silently calculating the countermeasures for various situations in his mind.
Soon, Hojo Rin led the group to the outskirts of the shogunate.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please." Hojo Rin gestured for them to enter, then pushed open the door.
Upon entering the house, Tokuyoshi Yasuhito, Tokuyoshi Shingo, and Ono Yuuki were all present.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin and the others enter, Deyi Kangren gestured for them to sit, saying, "Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort, please have a seat."
After Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu sat down, a maid came forward to serve tea.
Su Ruojin looked at Deyi Kangren with a half-smile on her face, "General, your complexion is rosy today, which means the poison you suffered from has been cured. This is truly a cause for celebration."
I wonder which master cured the general of the poison. Could you introduce me so I can learn from him?
Deyi Kangren was taken aback, only then realizing that although his poison had been cured, he had not yet sent anyone to inform Su Ruojin.
In fact, Deyi Kangren had thought of it, but he was somewhat guilty and deliberately avoided the matter.
It was his men who stole the antidote developed by Su Ruojin. If this were to be made public, it wouldn't be something to be proud of. Deyi Kangren's expression was slightly unnatural.
However, he quickly composed himself and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My poison has been cured by the head of the Ono family." After saying that, Tokuyoshi Yasuhito glanced at Ono Yuuki beside him.
Yuki Ono managed a weak smile before lowering his head.
Although his son had made some guesses, he still wasn't sure if the general's medicine really came from the Princess Consort of Great Chu.
Seeing the general's performance now further confirms his suspicions.
As the head of Ono Pharmacy, Yuuki Ono immediately understood the intricacies of the situation.
At this point, the general claimed that he had developed the antidote, leaving the general with no choice but to admit it.
"Oh~ I didn't expect Yamato to have such a capable person. I wonder how the Ono family head developed this antidote, and what special medicinal materials were used?" Su Ruojin asked Ono Yuuki, her eyes filled with amusement.
Yuki Ono was taken aback when he was suddenly asked the question.
Even with his thick skin, he felt incredibly embarrassed to be asked that by the person in question.
Ono-ke never stooped to such self-serving pursuits, but...
Yuuki Ono glanced at Yasuhito Tokuyoshi with some difficulty.
“Princess Consort of Great Chu, this is a secret recipe of the Ono family. It might be inappropriate to ask about it so directly,” Tokugi Shingo suddenly said.
Su Ruojin smiled gently, "Oh~~~ I didn't know that this antidote was actually a secret recipe of the Ono family. Then it's really not appropriate to ask any further. I'm sorry."
Su Ruojin's "I'm sorry" made the smiles on the faces of everyone present, including Yamato, almost come to an end.
Especially Yuki Ono, whose forced smile looked worse than a grimace.
Deyi Kangren coughed lightly, "Princess Consort of Great Chu, the head of the Ono family comes from my Yamato medical family, so it is not surprising that he can develop such a secret formula."
Su Ruojin turned her head, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and ignored Deyi Kangren.
The room fell silent instantly, a silence that made Deyi Kangren's group feel increasingly uneasy.
