Yanluo was momentarily confused about what was happening. She looked at the prince and then at the princess, unable to understand what they were saying.
For the past two days, Su Ruojin has been letting Yanluo rest and recuperate, without telling her anything else.
Su Ruojin nodded. "Judging by the time, she's been in pain for about two days now, it's time for her to come see me."
Yan Luo was even more confused, so Hu Qing pulled her aside and whispered the truth to her.
The poison was planted by Hu Qing; for him, infiltrating the princess's residence and planting a poison was not a difficult task.
Yan Luo's eyes widened upon hearing this, and then her face lit up with excitement.
Serves you right!
“Gao Hongyuan did not go to the princess’s residence.” Xiao Yanchu stated this definitively.
If Gao Hongyuan had seen Yue Ning, he wouldn't have sent someone to invite A Jin.
“No matter what, he is a man. He can’t possibly run to the princess’s residence every day. Yuening already had health problems before, so Xiaoyue’s imperial physicians would only think she was sick,” Su Ruojin said with a smile.
Xiao Yanchu nodded. "They've come to invite you to come and see me. Will you come?"
The princess was suffering from abdominal pain due to the poison, and had no mind to torment Su Ruojin.
The only explanation for the fact that the people from the Duke's Mansion have come to invite Su Ruojin is that Gao Hongyuan knows she is Ye Zhao and wants her to treat Yuening's illness.
"Go ahead, why not? Yanluo will come with me too." Su Ruojin wanted Yanluo to see Yuening's miserable state.
Anyone who dares to use a spell on her will have to pay the price.
Su Ruojin certainly wouldn't take the initiative to come to them; since the other party needed her help, she had to adopt the attitude of someone asking for a favor.
Anyway, it's Yuening who's in pain right now, not her, so why should she be in a hurry?
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Su Ruojin raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Here it is.
This time, Hu Qing quickly went to open the door.
Knowing that the other party had ill intentions, and given what had happened before, Hu Qing dared not let Yan Luo open the door again.
When the door opened and she saw the scene before her, even Hu Qing's heart skipped a beat. She was glad that she hadn't let Yan Luo open the door, otherwise she would have been terrified.
Five people stood at the entrance, one of whom looked like a butler, and the other five guards carried five trays.
On each of the trays carried by the four guards was a bloody human head, which was none other than the four guards who had come to invite Su Ruojin earlier.
The remaining guard carried a tray full of gold ingots.
The steward, with a smile on his face, respectfully clasped his hands in a bow and said, "Please inform Madam Jiang that the princess wishes to invite her to the princess's residence for a medical consultation. I apologize for any offense I may have caused before and hope that Madam Jiang will forgive my rudeness. This is just a small token of my respect."
The steward's words served two purposes: firstly, to express remorse for the princess's residence killing those who disrespected Madam Jiang.
Secondly, it shows that they knew Zhao Ruojin was Ye Zhao, otherwise they wouldn't have asked her to see a doctor.
Hu Qing glanced at the butler indifferently, "Just wait." Then he closed the courtyard gate.
We must inform the Princess about this first, so as not to frighten her.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the steward of the Princess's residence has come to invite Your Highness to see a doctor. They killed those four guards and brought their heads to apologize."
This surprised Su Ruojin somewhat; she hadn't expected the Princess's residence to be so decisive in inviting her over this time.
This must have been the intention of Gao Hongyuan or Empress Dowager Wu.
Since they're being so "sincere," it would be a shame not to go.
Besides, if I don't go, and Gao Hongyuan gets anxious and arrives at the princess's residence early, wouldn't that mean Yuening will suffer a few days less pain?
"Yanluo, Aya, let's go."
