"His Majesty!"
The imperial doctors were immediately horrified... They had verified the prescription repeatedly and found it to be non-toxic. They would rather believe that His Majesty had choked on the medicine and passed out than believe that there was something wrong with the medicine.
The empress turned pale and hurriedly shook the emperor's body and sniffed his breath to make sure he was still alive before she fainted from fright. She hurriedly ordered the imperial physician, "Hurry up and save His Majesty!"
The imperial doctors immediately became extremely busy, and the guards outside the hall also rushed in after hearing the noise.
On the side, An Zhaoyi was also stunned in her place. It was not until she saw Huo Wuyou, with a look of astonishment on his face, stiffly took two steps back that she rolled her eyes and pointed at him angrily, "Marquis Lin'an, how dare you plot to murder His Majesty!"
He then supported the already distraught empress and said, "Your Majesty, the person who plotted to murder Your Majesty is still here. We must arrest him immediately!"
At An Zhaoyi's reminder, the queen came to her senses and shouted, "Catch him!"
At the command, the guards rushed forward. Sui Yunlang screamed in fear: "The reason for His Majesty's fainting is unknown. Don't... don't arrest him casually!"
Seeing that the guards were still holding him without a care, he hurriedly called out to Huo Wuyou: "Marquis Lin'an? Marquis Lin'an, you can't just ignore my life or death! Marquis Lin'an!"
But Huo Wuyou only struggled a few times in vain, and then he let them tie his hands behind his back and force him to half-kneel on the ground.
He looked up, his hair draped over his shoulders, his eyes filled with helplessness and resentment. "Empress, this matter has not yet been decided. How can you arrest the Lord so casually? If the Queen Mother knew, she would definitely find it inappropriate!"
The queen's face was pale at this moment. She almost hated Huo Wuyou to death, and she didn't understand why Prince Gong did this. She only knew that now that His Majesty was in trouble, it was she who let the culprit into the palace. If she didn't show her attitude, people would think that she and Huo Wuyou were in collusion... She was really going to be dragged to death!
"This is a matter concerning His Majesty. Even if the Marquis of Lin'an wants to be willful, he should know his limits. Even if the Queen Mother knows about this, she will not condone or show favoritism!"
After that, she ordered: "Take these two people to the prison and wait for your punishment!"
…
Lin'an Marquis Mansion.
Xue Zhiyi watched the pair of red candles burn out bit by bit and stayed awake all night.
It wasn't until dawn that Su Yue hurriedly pushed open the door and reported, "Miss! Miss... The Marquis went into the palace last night and didn't return all night. He has been taken to the Sky Prison!"
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a moment of shock, she stood up and said, "Please appease everyone in the mansion, and then get me some ordinary clothes. Let Qiuyun go out with me!"
…
Outside the prison.
Xue Zhiyi brought twenty or thirty guards from the marquis's mansion with him, but was stopped outside the door by the jailer.
The jailer said, "Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. The Marquis is now a high-ranking criminal in prison and no one is allowed to visit him."
Xue Zhiyi had a cold expression on his face. After putting his hair into a bun, his face looked a little green, but his cold eyes held a chilling light that made people retreat. "How much silver do you want so that I can go in and see him?"
Her voice was sharp and arrogant. "Or do you want the Empress Dowager's written order before you release him?"
The jailer looked embarrassed: "Madam, this is not about money. What are you doing..."
The situation was so intense that many onlookers had gathered around and were whispering about it.
"What royal relative is causing trouble here again?"
"It seems like the new wife of Marquis Lin'an. I never thought she would be so domineering..."
"I heard that the Marquis of Lin'an was handcuffed and taken away on his wedding night. He must have gone mad after getting married and then been made a widow. "
"You can't make things difficult for a jailer. Being a jailer is annoying enough!"
"I even took their wedding money yesterday. Now I think it was bad luck. Luckily I've already spent it."
"Please keep your voice down. She brought so many guards with her. They are royal relatives. Beating you is like beating a dog. If they beat you to death, you won't even have to spend two days in jail."
At this time, a small path was pushed open among the crowd. Xue Zhiyi turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xu and Shen Qingtang who were coming.
"Awan!"
"Zhi Yi!"
Jiang Xu's face was irritated, and Shen Qingtang was almost crying. She cried, "What happened?"
Xue Zhiyi held her outstretched hand. Last time at the Dali Temple, it was Shen Qingtang who arrived first. She must have been frightened as well. Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyi couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Jiang Xu's face was dark at the moment. He had thought Huo Wuyou was a reliable person, but he didn't expect that he would be thrown into prison before the wedding night was over. He must be blind to agree to let his sister get involved with Huo Wuyou.
"Awan, you just got married. No matter what happens, I'm going to ask His Majesty to grant you a divorce. I don't want fame anymore. Let's go back to Cishui!"
The emperor's condition worsened last night, and this matter has not yet been reported to the previous court, so Jiang Xu is still unaware of it.
Xue Zhiyi felt even more guilty: It’s not that bad, it really isn’t that bad…
After thinking for a while, she said with a sad look: "Brother, no matter what, I want to see him first..."
At this moment, the crowd consciously made way for them.
A BMW carriage slowly drove in, and the man who got out of the carriage was dressed in a black robe woven with gold. The corners of his mouth contained a condescending mockery, and it was Gu Shichong.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Gong."
Xue Zhiyi bowed, and Jiang Xu and Shen Qingtang also bowed after a moment of hesitation.
When the people around learned that this person was Prince Gong, there was another round of discussion.
Gu Shichong seemed to be very happy to see Xue Zhiyi's miserable state. Her eyes were red at the moment, and her forehead was covered with broken hair that had not been combed carefully. She looked a little haggard, and her lips were slightly wrinkled because of anxiety - she didn't look very decent at all.
Gu Shichong clapped his hands and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't had time to congratulate the wife of Marquis Lin'an on her wedding. Now that we meet here today, I wish the Marquis Lin'an a happy and prosperous marriage and all the best."
