Chapter 267 I Want the Princess's Dowry
The fourth princess tried hard to increase the volume.
"He's been infected with the Puppet Gu, and the mother Gu is with the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince discovers that he's been rescued, he'll activate the mother Gu to kill the child Gu in his body. If the child Gu dies, Mo Yuance won't be able to survive."
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both knew this without the Fourth Princess saying anything, but what she said was also very useful, at least it made them know where the mother Gu was.
Now, if we want to successfully rescue Seventh Brother and help him get rid of the poison, the first thing we need to do is to get the mother poison in the hands of the prince, so as to ensure that there is no risk.
Mo Jiuye didn't want to explain too much to the Fourth Princess about his wife's ability to remove poison.
"Don't worry, Fourth Princess. Since I can go and save my Seventh Brother, I will definitely take everything into consideration."
The Fourth Princess would never deny Mo Jiuye's abilities. It was possible that he could successfully rescue Mo Yuance, but he was unable to remove the poison in Mo Yuance.
"You can't go to the dungeon rashly. It's guarded by the Crown Prince's men. If they find out that Mo Yuance has been rescued, the Crown Prince will crush the Mother Gu, and then his life will be lost."
The fourth princess spoke so many words in one breath, and suddenly her breathing became rapid.
Lan Er was so scared that she quickly grabbed He Zhiran and said, "Doctor, please take another look at our princess. Lan Er begs you, please save our princess. She is a good person."
What Lan'er wanted to say was that the princess had never done anything to let down the Mo family. If the princess had not tried her best to keep Mr. Mo Qi, Mr. Mo Qi would have been sent out by those people to be a death soldier long ago, and now no one knew whether he would still be alive.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye could both hear the implication in her words. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. It was the Queen who poisoned the women of the Mo family, and it was Nan Heng who took advantage of the Mo family's misfortune. It really had nothing to do with the Fourth Princess.
However, given the Fourth Princess's current condition, even He Zhiran, with his advanced medical skills, was unable to save her.
When she first started taking the fourth princess's pulse, she was wondering why the body of a young person in her early twenties had deteriorated to such a state.
Now she knew that the possibility of the prince abusing her was closely related to the poisonous insect in her body.
Thinking of this, He Zhiran suddenly realized a problem.
Their main purpose of looking for the Fourth Princess was to find her skin. Mo Jiuye had lost some of her rationality after hearing the news about her Seventh Brother, and she couldn't be confused as well.
So she nudged Mo Jiuye with her elbow and gently reminded him, "Danpi."
It was only after she reminded Mo Jiuye that he remembered the real purpose of their search for the Fourth Princess.
"Princess, I came to the Prince's Mansion this time specifically to ask you for something."
The fourth princess slightly raised her increasingly heavy eyelids and said, "In my current state, what else can you ask for?"
Mo Jiuye hesitated for a moment and then said, "I want the skin from the princess's dowry."
"What do you want with that useless thing?"
Hearing the Fourth Princess ask this, Mo Jiuye could conclude that she did not know that the Queen had poisoned the women of the Mo family.
"Someone needs the skin of a child to heal an illness. I knew it was in the princess's dowry, so I came here to ask for the medicine."
The Fourth Princess didn't think much about it when she heard this. The skin of a baby was a very rare thing. Besides, it was Mo Jiuye who escorted her to the southern border for marriage. It was not surprising that he knew she had this thing.
But at the moment, she couldn't help Mo Jiuye at all.
"The skin is still there, but unfortunately, my dowry is not in my hands now."
Mo Jiuye frowned. Even ordinary families rarely touched a girl's dowry, let alone the Prince's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang. How could they possibly need the Crown Princess's dowry to supplement their income?
Seeing her master gasping for breath again, Lan'er helped explain, "Master Jiu, you don't know that my princess's dowry is now in the hands of Concubine Xiao."
Mo Jiuye frowned and asked, "Where is Concubine Xiao?"
When mentioning Concubine Xiao, Lan'er obviously hated her.
"Concubine Xiao is very favored, so naturally she lives closest to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
They judged the prince's courtyard by the sounds of singing and dancing, and naturally they also carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Not far behind the prince's courtyard, there is a place that looks extremely gorgeous. It must be the residence of Concubine Xiao.
After this brief conversation, Mo Jiuye no longer had the impulsive energy he had just had.
He asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, Fourth Princess, what does the Gu breeder who brought my seventh brother here look like?"
The fourth princess recalled and said, "He was wearing a cap. I didn't see his face. I only know he was a man, and a bit thin."
Mo Jiuye knew that the Fourth Princess had no intention of hiding anything. Since she said she didn't see the face, then she definitely didn't see it.
He Zhiran looked at the poor woman on the bed. If she had any way, she would save her. After all, she was a young woman in her early twenties and had never done anything detrimental to the Mo family.
It’s a pity that her body has reached the end of its life. She hopes that she can be reborn into a good family in her next life and be an ordinary and happy woman.
At this moment, the fourth princess suddenly felt a breath stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down, and He Zhiran could see that she had something else to say.
So he quickly went forward and pricked her several acupuncture points with silver needles.
"Fourth Princess, you have at most a quarter of an hour, so hurry up and say whatever you want to say."
These injections really had a great effect, and the fourth princess's breathing became noticeably smoother.
Lan'er and another maid quickly knelt in front of the bed and took her hand while crying: "Your Highness, go with peace of mind. Yu'er and I will accompany you and will not let you be alone on the road."
The fourth princess shook the hands of the two maids firmly.
"No, I won't allow you to do that."
As she spoke, she looked towards Mo Jiuye with great effort: "Mo Jiuye, can I ask you for a favor?"
He Zhiran saw through the Fourth Princess's thoughts at a glance. She looked at Mo Jiuye with a half-smile. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would definitely say, "Nine Master's peach blossom has arrived..."
Mo Jiuye didn't have as many thoughts as his wife. At this time, he really thought that the Fourth Princess would ask him to do something important.
For example, let Emperor Shunwu know the real cause of her death.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye did not refute her words, the Fourth Princess slowly spoke:
"My two maids, Yu'er and Lan'er, have served me since they were young. Although we are master and servant, we are as close as sisters. I don't want them to die like me in this foreign country without any human touch."
"No...Princess, we want to follow you. We will follow you wherever you go."
The two maids were ready to die.
Mo Jiuye still couldn't see the Fourth Princess's true intention.
"If it is within my ability, I can take the two girls back to Dashun."
Of course, they can return to Dashun, but they cannot be allowed to go to the capital, otherwise what they have done recently may be exposed.
