The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan held a cup of tea, his eyes full of coldness, as if he was listening seriously to the court officials' praise of the emperor, but also as if he didn't pay any attention to these nonsense flattering the emperor.

He knew in his heart that the emperor summoned them here just to discuss state affairs and hopefully get information about him.

...

On the other side, Yun Mujiu brought Fusang and, led by the little maid in Princess Gaoyang's mansion, walked all the way to the backyard of the garden.

As she walked, she asked the little maid what the patient's current condition was.

The little maid tried her best to calm the panic expression on her face and told some of the situations in a halting manner.

Yun Mujiu also pieced together the general ins and outs of the whole incident from these few words.

Perhaps among the female guests attending the banquet, there was one lady who seemed to be in poor health, so on the eve of the banquet, she was led by the maid of the princess's mansion to the room in the backyard to rest.

After the banquet began, the lady's condition showed no signs of improvement. Instead, it became worse and worse. At one point, she had difficulty breathing and looked like a dying patient struggling to survive.

Yun Mujiu came to a small courtyard behind the dense green bamboo forest. It seemed particularly quiet and elegant. If a banquet was held in the mansion, it would be normal to arrange a house for guests to rest in such a quiet and elegant place.

While Yun Mujiu followed the hurried little maid, he turned his head and made eye contact with Fusang beside him.

She was also taken away from the previous banquet, saying that she was taking Bai Yanshuang to change her clothes that were soaked by tea. At that time, the maids in the princess's mansion said that Bai Yanshuang accidentally fell while changing clothes, so the maids took the initiative to ask her to go over and treat Bai Yanshuang.

This time, it was just because someone invited her to see the patient. At first glance, this reason was reasonable, but in fact, there were still some inappropriate aspects, such as why she happened to be the doctor called, and why a guest at the banquet happened to be in such a critical condition that he could die?

However, Yun Mujiu would not tell anyone about these rational thoughts about the real situation, nor would he let his thoughts and emotions be clearly revealed on his face.

So she maintained her original indifferent look and looked around indifferently.

It was like a doctor who was invited to treat a patient immediately. On the way, he only cared about the patient's specific condition. As for other irrelevant questions, he would not ask the little maid in front of him. For example, what was the identity of that lady?

At this time, the little maid pointed to a small room on the far right and said, "Princess Ye, the injured lady is inside. Please go in and check on her condition first."

Her face was filled with anxiety, and she was trying her best to urge Yun Mujiu to act quickly, as if to say that if they delayed any further and the people inside died, they would not be able to escape responsibility, and Yun Mujiu would also become a sinner.

Yun Mujiu nodded and suddenly asked the little maid, what was her name?

The little maid looked stunned, but due to the urgent situation, she immediately said her name.

"Xiao Shuang."

After Xiao Shuang reported her name, she seemed to have thought of something in a hurry and turned to look at the maid beside Yun Mujiu.

"Princess, I suddenly remembered that the lady once asked me to do something. She asked me to go to the gate of the mansion and find the medicine that the lady carried with her on a daily basis in their carriage. Today, the lady forgot to bring the medicine in the carriage with her, so she didn't get timely medicine treatment when she was sick."

Yun Mujiu forced a smile, "So? You want to go get the medicine now?"

"That's right." Xiao Shuang was very happy about Yun Mujiu's thoughtfulness, "Princess, can I go with Fusang? She walks faster."

Yun Mujiu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and agreed reluctantly.

Xiaoshuang thanked him immediately and urged Fusang to go out with her to the mansion to get the medicine.

Yun Mujiu turned her head and saw a maid coming out to greet her.

"Princess Ye, please come in quickly!"
