Queen Hyeon and her female relatives also hurried over, "What on earth is going on?"
Princess Xian frowned. If anything had happened to Ah Li at her plum blossom viewing banquet, she would have wanted to kill herself.
Ah Li is the one who can cure the fifth brother, and she will not tolerate any risk.
"How dare this wicked slave wrongly accuse my wife." Gu Qichuan said in a cold voice.
"Take everyone away and investigate thoroughly." Princess Hyeon ordered in a cold voice, and immediately the guards from Hyeon's palace rushed over and subdued the people.
When those old women saw that they were being restrained, they bit the poison in their mouths, tilted their heads, and all died.
The female relatives who came with Princess Hyeon were all smart people. As soon as they saw the situation, they knew that these people had been bribed and were preparing to frame the general's wife.
Fortunately, the general's wife was safe and sound.
"Is Ah-ri okay?" Queen Hyun stepped forward, nervously held Ah-ri's hand, and examined it carefully.
"It's nothing. There was no one in the room when I got here, and then you came." Ali said softly. She didn't seem to be frightened, but just a little confused about the situation.
"I am sorry for not hosting you well today. I will prepare a generous gift to apologize to Ali." Princess Hyun said solemnly.
"Princess, there is no need to do this. Ali believes that there must be a bad person who wants to sow discord between the General's Mansion and the Prince and Princess. It would be better if we don't fall for it." Ali said with a smile.
Princess Xian patted Ah Li's hands lovingly; her palms were now icy cold.
Ah-ri held Princess Hyun's hand and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Ah-ri won't be fooled."
Queen Hyeon nodded with relief.
Because Ali was almost in trouble, Gu Qichuan took her to bid farewell to Princess Xian. They did not stay in Merlin tonight and left directly.
Originally, Ali and Gu Qichuan were planning to find an excuse to go back early, but unexpectedly something went wrong, which gave him a direct reason.
The two of them didn't say a word until they got in the carriage. When the curtain was drawn, Prince Jin was sitting in the carriage. When he saw Gu Qichuan and A Li, he nodded slightly but said nothing.
Neither of them said anything, but just nodded to him.
"Songbai, hurry up." Gu Qichuan gave the order.
"Yes, General." Songbai was sitting in the driving position and instantly noticed three auras in the carriage.
"Go to the manor." Gu Qichuan continued to order.
"Yes, General." Songbai responded.
The guards of the general's mansion also left with them.
It was not until they left the back mountain that Ah Li spoke to King Jin, "King Jin, do you want to stay with us in the manor until you recover?"
Prince Jin nodded and said, "If you don't bother me, I hope to recover at the manor before leaving."
"Don't disturb me, but we can't stay with you on the farm all the time. I will help you detoxify in the first seven days, and then I will take time to come over to check on you and adjust the prescription." said Ali.
Prince Jin bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam Gu and General Gu."
"You are welcome, Prince Jin."
"Don't call me Prince Jin. If you don't mind, you can call me A-Jin." Prince Jin lowered his head and said, "Anyway, I am a prince in name only."
Prince Jin smiled with a hint of self-mockery. He had been a crown prince before, so even if the emperor wanted to be lenient to him, his ministers would not allow it.
His identity is too special. Even if the emperor has never intended to kill him, those who want to maintain the stability of imperial power will not let him go.
Ajin knows everything.
"Okay, we'll call you A Jin outside. I know some disguise techniques. If you don't mind, I can leave two needles on your head. This will change your appearance so that it doesn't matter if someone sees you like this." said Ali.
"I don't mind. If my appearance changes, people won't recognize me. I'd rather look like someone else." Jin said.
"Did no one notice you left Prince Jin's Mansion?" Ah Li asked curiously.
Ah Jin smiled and said, "With the help of several sisters-in-law and aunt, I have not been discovered yet."
"I originally thought that if I didn't live long, I would just die trapped in that magnificent palace, but now I have hope... If Madam Gu can cure me, I will flee the imperial city to my death."
"The world is so big that I have never seen it before. I want to go to many places, meet many people, and try a different life." As she spoke, Ajin's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Gu Qichuan and A Li exchanged glances.
"I will do my best to heal you."
"Thank you." Ah Jin smiled. This was the most he had spoken since he got sick.
Along the way, Ali and King Jin briefly discussed the illness. Before getting off the carriage, Ali helped King Jin change his appearance with acupuncture.
When they got off the carriage, a handsome young man was following them.
After settling Ajin down, A Li and Gu Qichuan returned to their own yard.
Ali immediately started writing the prescription.
Ali is still treating Gu Qichuan. They have some medicinal herbs on their carriage, but they are not complete.
Ali asked Songbai to go to her medicine shop to get the medicine in person, and asked someone to purchase the herbs and dry them on the farm for processing, so that he could use the medicine without being discovered.
"We have to go to Meilin tomorrow. The climate there is quite special. There must be many rare medicinal herbs there." Ah Li said with sparkling eyes.
Gu Qichuan smiled at her lovingly, "I'll go with you."
As the two chatted, Ah Li prepared the medicine for Ah Jin and went straight to Ah Jin's yard with the medicine.
"Have you had your meal?" Ali asked with concern.
"I've already used a little bit. I have a small appetite, so I don't eat much."
Ah Li smiled and said, "It's okay if you eat more. We can afford it."
Ah Jin was slightly startled, as if no one had ever joked with him before. His face was slightly red, "I'll eat more tomorrow."
Ah Li was amused. "I'll give you an acupuncture first. Although I can't completely remove the poison from your body, I can help you expel some of the poison so that you can sleep more peacefully at night."
"Thank you, Madam Gu." A Jin responded.
Ah Li asked him to take off his shirt and lie on the bed. Ah Jin blushed but still turned his back and did as she asked.
The boy's body is very slender, and just looking at him makes people feel pity.
Ah Li quickly gave the needle and said, "It will be a little painful, just bear with it."
"I can bear it." A Jin said in a low voice. The thing he did most often in these years was to endure the pain.
Ah Li sighed lightly and continued the acupuncture silently.
After half an hour of acupuncture, Prince Jin was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he was shaking all over.
"When you take a bath, you need to soak in the medicine barrel for at least an hour."
"Okay." A Jin responded.
The medicinal bath was ready. Ali tested the water temperature and then asked someone to come and serve King Jin with the medicinal bath.
The village was quiet, yet strangely warm.
At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos...
