Chapter 68 I took the wrong medicine...
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan pitifully with her eyes.
She spoke clearly, "Your Majesty, please help me. Today, Miss Bai's servant held a dagger against me and tried to kill me.
If it weren't for my maid who risked her life to protect me and blocked that fatal blow, I would be lying in bed unconscious right now."
Seeing this, Bai Lianyan hurriedly defended herself, "Lord Regent, please don't listen to her nonsense! It was clearly Lan Xiyue. She...she killed my servant! She is the murderer."
Mo Liyuan called out calmly, "Tianyi!"
Tianyi immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, the facts are exactly as Miss Lan said."
Mo Liyuan said nonchalantly, "Prime Minister Bai, this is the good daughter you raised? She's full of lies and has a vicious mind!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Bai's forehead instantly broke out in sweat. Did the Regent come to the Marquis of Wuguo's Mansion to support Lan Xiyue?
Bai Xianzhe lost his previous arrogance and said humbly, "Prince Regent, please calm down. It is my fault for not teaching my daughter well. I will definitely discipline my daughter properly when I get back."
Lan Zhenrong, who was standing aside, looked at Lan Xiyue with a complicated expression.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Only Mo Liyuan's fingers were tapping gently and rhythmically on the exquisite tea table, making a "knock knock" sound.
Lan Xiyue lightly twisted her fingertips, and a barely noticeable amount of powder fell silently on the corner of Bai Lianyan's clothes.
All this could not escape Mo Liyuan's eyes as deep as a pool. His eyes flashed slightly with a bit of amusement as he quietly watched Lan Xiyue's every move.
Lan Xiyue noticed Mo Liyuan's gaze and her heart suddenly tightened. She subconsciously turned her head and her eyes met Mo Liyuan's in the air.
Lan Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, and she muttered to herself, "What on earth is that look in this man's eyes? Could it be... that he discovered I drugged her?"
Lan Xiyue blinked, her eyes were as clear as water, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
A meaningful smile appeared on Mo Liyuan's lips.
At this moment, Bai Xianzhe bowed and said, "Regent, I will take my daughter back and discipline her properly."
Mo Liyuan did not respond, but just sat there quietly. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, so Bai Xianzhe had to turn to Lan Zhenrong, trying to find a way out.
"Brother, you see, this is all a misunderstanding. When I get back, I will definitely teach my daughter a lesson."
Hearing this, Lan Zhenrong forced a smile, waved his hand, and said, "It's just a little quarrel between girls. It's not a big deal. Just talk it out."
Bai Xianzhe nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll take my daughter back right away." Then he turned to look at Bai Lianyan and urged, "Let's go."
Bai Lianyan suddenly covered her stomach with her hands, her face showing pain.
Bai Xianzhe frowned, "Yan'er, what are you doing? Why don't you go back with your father?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a "puff" sound, and Bai Lianyan's face turned red in an instant, with panic and embarrassment in her eyes.
She looked at Mo Liyuan, her voice trembling a little, "Regent, I didn't mean to do that. I just have a stomachache."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another "puff puff" sound, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird and awkward.
Lan Xiyue covered her nose, a barely perceptible sneer curling up at the corner of her mouth, "Bai Lianhua, you actually farted in public... You have no shame at all."
Mo Liyuan's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes when he looked at Lan Xiyue.
This woman, it would be fine if she just drugged me, but she actually drugged me like this.
Bai Xianzhe reacted and his face turned extremely ugly.
He glared at Bai Lianyan and said, "Yan'er, how can you behave like this!" As he said that, he reached out to pull Bai Lianyan's sleeve. Today was really embarrassing.
Bai Lianyan's face was pale, her hands were clenched, and her eyes were full of fear.
"Puff puff puff..." The sound continued, and Bai Xianzhe's face became more and more ugly.
He took several steps back, covering his nose with one hand and his chest with the other, as if trying to suppress the urge to vomit. He looked at his daughter in disbelief, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Bai Lianyan covered her face, tears falling from between her fingers, her voice choked with sobs: "Wu... I don't know what's wrong, father, I... I can't control it."
Before he finished speaking, there was another series of farts that resounded through the sky, the smell was extremely strong.
Lan Xiyue had already run out of the hall at this moment. She kept fanning her hands. Damn, she actually took the wrong medicine. It was really painful. However, this upgraded laxative was too powerful.
Mo Liyuan's movements were also extremely quick. He arrived outside the hall in the blink of an eye.
In the hall, Lan Zhenrong couldn't stand the strong smell and ran out quickly.
Bai Lianyan turned her head and looked at Bai Xianzhe with tears in her eyes, crying, "Father, save your daughter..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another rapid sound, accompanied by an even more unbearable smell.
Yellow liquid has appeared under Bai Lianyan's body.
Bai Xianzhe's face was extremely ugly. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and turned to Bai Lianyan's maid and said, "What are you standing there for? Take the young lady away!"
After Bai Xianzhe finished speaking, he walked out of the hall with a flick of his sleeves.
The two maids endured the stench and carried Bai Lianyan out of the hall, one on each side.
As Bai Lianyan walked, she was still releasing the unbearable smell uncontrollably, leaving a trail of yellow liquid on the ground.
Mo Liyuan and Lan Xiyue had already slipped into the pavilion. Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue sharply and asked, "Woman, why did you give me such a poison that hurts the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred?"
Lan Xiyue curled her lips, secretly feeling annoyed. This guy had really sharp eyes, actually seeing her drugging him.
"Your Majesty, if I say I took the wrong one, would you believe me?"
Mo Liyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Then what kind of medicine are you planning to give me?"
"I bought the pain-relieving powder by mistake and got the super laxative instead." There was a hint of helplessness and regret in her tone.
She had casually stored all the medicines she had made before into the space, and when she took the medicine just now, she accidentally took the wrong one.
Mo Liyuan heard this, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Pain Powder? What is it?"
Lan Xiyue explained, "It's a medicine that causes unbearable pain all over the body, but it won't kill you. I originally wanted to teach Bai Lianyan a lesson, but I didn't expect that I took the wrong medicine, and it turned out to be this super-invincible laxative."
Mo Liyuan's mouth twitched when he heard this. What kind of strange medicine did this woman make?
Lan Zhenrong looked at Bai Xianzhe's back as he walked away, and the depression in his chest seemed to dissipate a lot as he exhaled the foul air.
The current Marquis' Mansion no longer has the glory of the past. Although it has the support of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, it still seems weak in front of Bai Xianzhe, the first-rank prime minister of the current dynasty.
What's more, Bai Xianzhe's sister is the current queen, and her power is so great that it cannot be easily shaken by the Marquis's Mansion.
Recalling his father-in-law's secret words, Lan Zhenrong's expression became more complicated.
The prince intended to win over the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, and although the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion did not express its position, Yun Jin had a close relationship with the prince, so Old Man Yun turned a blind eye.
His gaze inadvertently turned to the pavilion in the distance, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.
Although the Emperor and the Regent are brothers from the same mother, all the ministers in the court are well aware of the delicate relationship between them.
The emperor's attitude towards the regent is always unpredictable. He is both wary of him and has to rely on him.
The Regent, who is not interested in women, suddenly visited the Marquis' Mansion today and spoke to Lan Xiyue. Now no one knows what the two of them are talking about in the pavilion. However, it has already shocked Lan Zhenrong. After all, he has never heard of a woman being able to get close to the Regent. Lan Zhenrong felt an unprecedented excitement in his heart.
He secretly thought that if the Regent really had feelings for Lan Xiyue, then the Marquisate might usher in unprecedented glory and splendor. However, as for the Emperor...
"It seems that there is no need to rush the eldest daughter's marriage." Lan Zhenrong muttered to himself with a serious expression.
One wrong step could lead to a complete loss, so he had to act cautiously and plan for the future of the Marquis' Mansion.
