The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Prince Consort Cao and his family stood where they were, with no intention of trying to excuse Princess Gaoyang. Mrs. Cao even pulled Prince Consort Cao to the back of the crowd, with no intention of paying any attention to Princess Gaoyang at all.

Prince Consort Cao sighed softly, his handsome face full of loss and guilt towards Yun Mujiu.

Princess Gaoyang made all kinds of plans today, but she didn't expect that none of them would be able to defeat Yun Mujiu. From blaming Yun Mujiu for being late at the gate of the mansion, forcing Yun Mujiu to bow to her with etiquette, to urging Yun Mujiu to sing at the banquet with Dong Yanran and Miss Liu, to setting up a situation of destruction for Yun Mujiu with two men, she failed step by step, and now even her brother and her husband's in-laws are going to give up on her.

Ye Xiaohan patted Yun Mujiu's shoulder with his big hand, and Yun Mujiu, who looked frightened, raised his head. There was no pitiful look in his eyes as he had just complained to the emperor and the empress and the crowd about his grievances and the crimes of certain people. The two exchanged a look that was visible to each other, and then turned their heads to look at the center of the hall.

The people watching the fun automatically pushed outwards, making the center of the ground more empty.

Princess Gaoyang wanted to explain herself, but Ye Xiaohan sneered, "Now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say?"

Princess Gaoyang shuddered, and in anxiety, she turned her head and saw an hourglass on the Eight Immortals Table.

Her action also caught the attention of some people, especially Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, who were very observant.

At this time, before Princess Gaoyang and her group suffered further punishment, anxious and hurried voices were heard from a distance.

"Oh no! Madam Cao is unconscious after vomiting blood! Madam Cao is dying!"

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, startling the people in the bamboo forest. Didn't Mrs. Cao go downstairs to rest? How could she suddenly become unwell?

However, Madam Cao had been in poor health for some time, and she had even reached the point where she needed a coffin to be prepared for burial. It was probably normal that she would die of illness at any time.

The servant didn't bother to salute the royal family members present, and knelt down to report the situation of Old Madam Cao. After Old Madam Cao went down to rest, she fell asleep soon after taking the medicine.

But just now he suddenly vomited blood, his mouth was turbid, his whole body was twitching, and his limbs seemed stiff and he could not move. Only his head could move slightly. His pair of cloudy eyes were wide open, as if he was very unwilling. He stammered a few times and was unable to speak normally.

Then, Madam Cao's face twitched again, and then she fell into a coma. She looked like she was on her last breath, with no response except for her weak breathing.

Princess Gaoyang immediately acted as if she was shocked, turned her head to look at Yun Mujiu, and walked forward a few steps on her knees.

"Princess Ye, you are the one who brought my father-in-law and mother-in-law to this point!"

"What!" Everyone was shocked and confused.

"Are you crazy? I'm here to build a relationship with your mother-in-law?" Yun Mujiu sneered. She and Ye Xiaohan knew that this was probably the last trick set by the emperor and Princess Gaoyang.

Ye Xiaohan glanced at her fiercely, and Princess Gaoyang trembled immediately. But thinking that she was about to die, she forced herself to stand up, knelt and walked a few steps forward, looking up at Yun Mujiu: "You didn't have much contact with my mother-in-law today, but my mother-in-law has been taking medicine from the Herb Hall. She was feeling unwell just now, so she went downstairs to take the medicine that the servants in the mansion just bought from the Herb Hall these two days."

"You and I are at odds, so it's normal for you to let the guys at the Herbal Hall give us bad medicine. My mother-in-law took the medicine and gradually felt unwell. She felt even more unwell after taking the medicine just now. It's all your fault!"

"If you say it was my fault, then it was my fault. What does it matter whether it was me or you?" Yun Mujiu asked back, showing a domineering look that showed he would not suffer any loss.
