After the Fifth Prince fell into a deep sleep, Murong Hanzhi finally caught his breath. He placed the bug into a small box and thought for a moment before hiding it in the medicine box he carried with him. Only then did he go to Consort Yang Shu to check on the situation.
Fortunately, Consort Yang Shu had already woken up. However, she did not look too good. Her hand that was holding the teacup was also trembling, and her lips were already bruised. When she saw Murong Hanzhi come in, she threw away the teacup and rushed over." How is Yue 'er?"!”
He was clearly fine before, and the Fifth Prince had even appeared in front of the officials that day, so why did he suddenly…
" Consort Shu, don't worry." Murong Hanzhi supported her," The Fifth Prince has stabilized. Didn't this servant say before that the Fifth Prince's illness has been here for a long time and won't recover so easily?"”
At this moment, she was secretly glad that she had not been too confident back then. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to step down now. However, she had not expected the Fifth Prince to be in such a situation. Most importantly, she had not expected that the Crown Prince would not give up even at this point.
"Is, is it?" Consort Yang Shu trembled, clearly not daring to believe it. It wasn't like she hadn't seen the Fifth Prince's appearance just now, so how could she say that it was good?
" This servant does not dare to lie to Consort Shu. The Fifth Prince is temporarily fine." Murong Hanzhi smiled carefully, afraid that Consort Yang Shu would question her in a fit of anger and implicate her younger sister-in-law. This servant will take care of the Fifth Prince day and night until he recovers.
Hearing this, Consort Yang Shu seemed to have taken a pill of reassurance and sat back down." That's good that you didn't know. You scared BenGong to death. BenGong thought…"
At that time, when she saw the Fifth Prince's old illness relapse, no one knew how anxious and desperate she was. She even felt that the heavens had no intention of letting her Yue 'er get better. No one could save him!
Murong Hanzhi gently bit her lips, her eyes sparkling. It was obvious that she was hiding something from Consort Yang Shu.
"Right, Hanzhi, why is Yue 'er like this? Did they do something wrong?”
Consort Yang Shu came from a prestigious family after all, and her thoughts were quite meticulous. Once she calmed down, some things were easy to think of. Even if Murong Hanzhi had said that the Fifth Prince's illness was not so easy to treat, it should not have reached such a state.
Then, the only explanation was that the servants did something wrong, or they did not follow Murong Hanzhi's request. Anyway, she never doubted Murong Hanzhi's medical skills.
As expected, the moment she said this, Xiao Yun 'er's face immediately turned pale and her breathing stagnated.
"This servant deserves to die!" Murong Hanzhi suddenly bent his knees and knelt down. His voice was filled with fear as he said," It was this servant's negligence. I forgot to tell Consort Shu that while the Fifth Prince was on medication, he must not drink. This servant also just found out that the Emperor had once invited the Fifth Prince to a banquet, so-"
" What?!" Consort Yang Shu was shocked and her vision turned black again." You mean…Lone Bamboo Lie held a banquet to celebrate the Fifth Prince's recovery. So, this actually harmed him?"”
" That's right." Murong Hanzhi kowtowed heavily." It's this servant's fault. This servant forgot about this. Please punish this servant's crime!"”
Xiao Yun 'er looked at Murong Hanzhi, who was kowtowing non-stop. Her gaze was very strange, as if she was suspecting something. However, she was also a smart person. Where Murong Hanzhi was around, she usually did not say anything.
" This is not your fault." Consort Yang Shu's face was pale as she helped her up." It should be my negligence. When His Majesty was about to hold a banquet for the officials, I should have asked you first. You did not know about this, so it is not your fault."”
At this moment, she was extremely regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would not have been in such a hurry to let Yue 'er meet with the officials. If anything happened to Yue' er, she would become a laughing stock in the court.
"Thank you, Consort Shu, for your kindness!" Murong Hanzhi stood up gratefully. He thought for a moment and then said solemnly," Consort Shu, please don't blame me for overstepping my boundaries. I want you to pass down your orders. Before the Fifth Prince recovers, I won't see anyone, and I won't take a step out of Jia Yuan Palace. Is that okay?"”
"Of course!" Consort Yang Shu nodded without thinking. Yue 'er's body couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't let her guard down! Her eyes flashed with determination. If she couldn't cure Yue 'er, she would surely die with her only remaining blood.
"You can't see anyone, especially His Highness the Crown Prince!”The moment Murong Hanzhi blurted it out, she immediately regretted it. She was clearly targeting the Crown Prince, so how could Consort Yang Shu not be suspicious?
"Him?" Consort Yang Shu was stunned and then puzzled." Why especially His Highness the Crown Prince?”Previously, when Yue 'er was favored, she had also heard that the Crown Prince was dissatisfied with Yue' er. However, ever since Yue 'er fell ill, his actions had changed her impression of the Crown Prince. Why did Murong Hanzhi specifically mention the Crown Prince?
" About that..." Murong Hanzhi secretly wanted to slap himself. His thoughts raced, and he finally sighed and lowered his head." Consort Shu, Your Highness, you may not know this, but the Crown Prince is worried that this servant is the daughter of a criminal, so he has doubts about this servant's medical skills and intentions. This servant does not want to see each other, and it will be awkward."”
Let's put it this way. As for whether they believed it or not, she couldn't care less.
"Is that so?" Consort Yang Shu pondered for a moment. She didn't say whether she believed it or not." Hanzhi, don't worry. As long as I report to Emperor Ming, no one will dare to barge into Jiayuan Palace.”
"That's good. Thank you, Consort Shu." Murong Hanzhi let out a long sigh of relief and bowed." This servant will go and take care of the Fifth Prince now. Your Highness, please be at ease. With this servant here, the Fifth Prince will be fine."”
When the two of them left together and were far away from Consort Yang Shu's room, Murong Hanzhi slowed down his pace." Do you have something to ask?”Earlier in the room, Xiao Yun 'er's eyes had been flickering. She was not an idiot, so how could she not notice?
Moreover, she had no intention of hiding her thoughts from Xiao Yun 'er. She just didn't find the time to tell her.
Xiao Yun 'er smiled indifferently," Young Lady is willing to tell this servant?”
Murong Hanzhi was silent, but his expression was firm.
" This servant knows that Young Lady lied to Consort Shu just now." Xiao Yun 'er laughed lightly." This servant has reported to Young Lady about the Fifth Prince's banquet. It was Young Lady who said that it was fine. Therefore, the Fifth Prince's relapse must be for some other reason, and it has something to do with the Crown Prince, right?”
He was indeed a smart person.
Murong Hanzhi finally smiled, his eyes calm." I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Sigh! In fact, it was also because His Highness the Crown Prince was too hasty in using this plan to burn all means of retreat and sink all boats. Otherwise, how could I have seen through the flaw? Yun 'er, do you remember that insect?”
"Is it the one that you drew out with your blood?”Thinking of that little green worm that was twisting its body, Xiao Yun 'er's eyes had a look of disgust. Could it be that the Fifth Prince's illness was related to that?
"It's not just related. That person is the culprit!”Murong Hanzhi sneered. His eyes were filled with a light that could see through everything." Yun 'er, do you know that the Fifth Prince is not sick at all, but poisoned!”
She had hidden this matter from everyone, including the Emperor, Consort Yang Shu, and the Fifth Prince himself, but only told Xiao Yun 'er. This was enough to show her trust and reliance on her. After spending some time together, she had already seen that Xiao Yun 'er was not only agile, but she also knew how to read people's eyes. More importantly, she was meticulous and calm. When necessary, she would keep her mouth shut. She was a rare good woman.
Moreover, in some aspects, she felt that Xiao Yun 'er was quite similar to her. The two of them were especially compatible. It was no wonder that she had always brought Xiao Yun' er by her side, making those maidservants envious.
" What?!" Xiao Yun 'er cried out in alarm and immediately covered her mouth again. She vigilantly looked around. Fortunately, this was Jia Yuan Palace and there wouldn't be any random people.!”
Heavens, this was too terrifying! Although she had known before entering the palace that the palace was a battlefield without smoke and all kinds of bloody battles were very fierce, now that she was really there, she understood that the people in the palace were scheming against each other, far beyond her imagination.
"Of course. Otherwise, could it be that the Fifth Prince poisoned himself?”Murong Hanzhi's eyes were mocking as he deliberately lowered his voice." Yun 'er, you've been in the palace for a long time. You know more about the palace than me. Tell me, who wants something to happen to the Fifth Prince the most?”
His Highness the Crown Prince.
These four words suddenly appeared in her mind. Xiao Yun 'er was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she could not even speak.
Yes, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the person who hated the Fifth Prince the most was the Crown Prince. He naturally did not want the Eastern Palace to change hands, but who asked him to be the best at hiding it? And after the Fifth Prince fell ill, he appeared to be the most concerned. It was just that others did not think of this for the time being.
Don't forget that everyone knew that the Fifth Prince was sick. This was a natural and man-made disaster. Whoever was involved would admit that they were unlucky, and who could they blame?
"You know who it is, right? Also, the Fifth Prince's relapse was also the Crown Prince's doing! That day-"
Didn't the Crown Prince come to visit the Fifth Prince that day and even stood very close to him? Presumably, it was at that time that he placed the queen bug on the Fifth Prince's body. It was just that it would take a few days for the queen bug to lay eggs and hatch on the Fifth Prince's body, which was why the Fifth Prince acted up today.
"Oh my god!" Xiao Yun 'er felt a loud bang in her head and was about to faint. How could His Highness the Crown Prince be so ruthless? The Fifth Prince had already been harmed by him to such an extent, yet he still refused to give up and still wanted to use such a vicious method?
If he hadn't met Murong Hanzhi, the Fifth Prince would have died!
"Then what does Young Lady plan to do? Report to the Emperor and Shu Fei Niangniang?”Xiao Yun 'er composed herself. She knew that this matter was no small matter. No wonder Murong Hanzhi chose to hide it from Consort Shu.
" No, it's not the time yet." Murong Hanzhi shook his head." The most important thing now is to remove all the poisonous insects on the Fifth Prince's body. I've already asked Consort Shu to block everyone just now so that the Crown Prince won't have a chance to attack again." If the Fifth Prince were to be like this again, even I wouldn't be able to save him.”
"But, but this is not a solution. The Crown Prince wants the Fifth Prince dead, can we guard against him forever?!”Xiao Yun 'er was so anxious that she bit her lips until they were about to bleed. Even if the Crown Prince couldn't find an opportunity to make a move on the Fifth Prince now, he would definitely not let the Fifth Prince off when he ascended the throne.
The corner of Murong Hanzhi's mouth curled up and he sneered silently." It won't always be like this. As long as the Fifth Prince recovers, I'll-"
A few palace maids walked over from afar as they spoke. She immediately gave Xiao Yun 'er a look, and the two of them shut their lips tightly and left in a hurry.
According to Murong Hanzhi, it was more important to save him first. Anyway, she had evidence in hand and was not afraid that the Crown Prince would not admit his guilt. When that day came, she would bring the Crown Prince to justice. It could be considered that she had done her filial piety and indirectly avenged her father.
