The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 166 Confrontation, no escape from blame

Yun Mujiu pointed at Wu Mingwei's nose and said, "You did it, and after being found out, you still shamelessly said that it's good that nothing happened. I really gave you face!"

Yun Mujiu said leisurely: "Also, do you think you were only discovered for these two things?"

"Princess!" Doctor Wu couldn't help but speak, "I was just trapped by love. Fortunately, I didn't hurt you. Please show mercy!"

He silently thought: Love between men and women is just a small matter, a small punishment and scolding will do. But secretly using means to kill people is a big deal! I hope the people in Ye Mansion have not noticed other things, otherwise they, father and daughter, will face great accountability.

Yun Mujiu's eyes were cold and fierce, and he asked sternly, "Do you dare to swear that you didn't harm me or the prince?"

"How come a page of that medical book was torn off for no reason, when the previous page just happened to talk about poisons for people with weak constitutions?" Now it seems that the doctor's system's diagnosis of her mild poisoning was related to Wu Mingwei's spices.

"Where are the medicinal residue particles in the flowerpot?"

Yun Mujiu asked three questions in a row, and Doctor Wu and his daughter were stunned and confused.

No matter what, just pretend you don’t know first.

Doctor Wu and his daughter looked at each other, then raised their eyes to Ye Xiaohan and cried, "Your Majesty, this is unjust!"

"Your Highness, I'm here to save you, how could I possibly harm you?" Doctor Wu stroked his gray beard, looking puzzled: "What medical book is missing a page? I didn't know about it!"

Seeing her father's reaction, Wu Mingwei imitated him and said, "What flower pot? What medicinal residue? I am totally confused."

Butler Zeng took two big steps forward, stood in front of Doctor Wu and his daughter, and opened a book.

"Dr. Wu, Miss Wu, please take a look at this book. Does it look familiar to you?"

This is a medical book. The page that Butler Zeng opened had obvious tears and a page was missing.

Wu Mingwei was startled and said defensively, "I accidentally tore a page of paper when I was reading a medical book. I was too lazy to fix it so I just tore it off. Is there any problem?"

In order to teach Yun Mujiu a lesson, she searched through medical books for solutions and found a recipe in this book that was very good. She followed the recipe listed in the book and extracted the medicine she wanted. However, because the medicine was too small, she accidentally spilled some on the book during the preparation process. It left marks on the page, so she had to tear off the page.

Yun Mujiu glanced at the medical book and answered for Butler Zeng, "Of course there is a problem! Firstly, the reason for tearing it up is far-fetched. Secondly, the part that was torn off happened to be the part explaining how to treat people with weak constitutions like me." If it was any other ordinary prescription, it would be fine, but it happened to be a highly targeted prescription - which caused people to vomit blood and feel uneasy.

"Three, come..." Yun Mujiu did not continue to speak, but only said: "Butler Zeng, give me the medical book to look at."

Yun Mujiu took the medical book with both hands and smiled: "Third... I guess there must be some unspeakable reason for tearing off this page."

He raised the book in his hand and said, "Look, everyone, this medical book is not too old and has been well preserved. If someone loves medicine, how could they bear to tear out a page and make the book incomplete?"

Yun Mujiu lowered his head slightly and smelled the pages before and after the missing page. He handed the book out and pointed to Wei Song: "Wei Song, come and smell it."

Wu Mingwei's face stiffened slightly. She moved her knees and looked up at Wei Song with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Wei Song glanced at Wu Mingwei, then at Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, and sighed in his heart.

He had to stand firm, he was a member of the Ye Mansion. No matter how deep his feelings for Miss Wu were, he couldn't let things go wrong.

Wei Song didn't look at Wu Mingwei, took the medical book, wrinkled his nose and sniffed for a while.

His face was resolute, "This fragrance is indeed the fragrance of the spices that Doctor Wu and Miss Wu have been using."

Wei Bai leaned over and smelled it. "Yes. I have dealt with Doctor Wu and Miss Wu before, and I have also smelled this smell by accident."

Wu Mingwei's face looked grim, and Doctor Wu's hand, which was stroking his beard, froze.

Ye Xiaohan asked quietly, "If you tore off the page unintentionally, why is the book stained with the unique spice bag smell of your Wu family?"

The answer is - Wu Mingwei was doing something while looking at the open book.

Yun Mujiu continued, "And the medicine residue buried in the soil of the flowerpot is also evidence of your harming people."

Wu Mingwei's inner defenses completely collapsed.

The grains were hidden so deep, and mixed with the soil, yet Yun Mujiu found them! How could she not hate him! Not blame him!

Wu Mingwei shot a fierce look at Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu took half a step forward and slapped him.

"Pa!" A clear slap mark appeared on the other side of Wu Mingwei's face.

“Stop!” Doctor Wu struggled to rush forward to stop Yun Mujiu, but two sharp-eyed guards quickly held him down.

"My hand hurts!" Yun Mujiu shook his hand and said softly, "Wu Mingwei, remember this, if you glare at me once, I will slap you."

Ye Xiaohan did not stop Yun Mujiu, but watched everything quietly. Yun Mujiu should have killed Doctor Wu and his daughter. It was Doctor Wu and his daughter who harmed him and Yun Mujiu.

If he had been more cruel—treated Yun Mujiu like a traitor, Yun Mujiu would have died long ago.

His attitude towards Yun Mujiu is always different from others...

Ye Xiaohan turned his head and looked at Doctor Fu in the room, "Doctor Fu, bring out some granules."

Doctor Fu nodded, took a piece of gauze and wrapped some soil, which contained many particles. He held a handful of soil in both hands and showed it to Doctor Wu and Wu Mingwei.

Ye Xiaohan asked casually, "Doctor Wu, tell me what this is?"

Doctor Wu stared at the soil for several seconds and said hesitantly, "Isn't this just ordinary soil in a flowerpot?"

Ye Xiaohan sneered in his heart. Doctor Wu's medical skills were OK, but he was a fool. He still refused to admit it. "Princess, you go and tell Doctor Wu."

"Okay," Yun Mujiu picked up some granules, "Doctor Wu, this is Zhenling, it will work with Yinling grass. I believe you and Miss Wu both understand their medicinal effects.

Doctor Wu stared at the grains, speechless.

Wu Mingwei crawled forward a few steps, getting closer to Ye Xiaohan, and cried, "My Lord, this is the residue of the Zhenling medicine, but what does it prove? It's just ordinary residue!"

"We have never really harmed the princess, nor have we harmed you! My father and I are loyal to you!"

Her delicate little face was full of tears, she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and she was still making her last struggle.

Ye Xiaohan said coldly: "Pull her away from me!"

Two guards appeared and carried Wu Mingwei back, preventing her from getting too close to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

Ye Xiaohan lost his patience, and things were almost ready to be concluded at this point.

The person who had gone to get the shoes of Doctor Wu and his daughter had already returned. He ordered, "Someone, bring the shoes up!"

When Wu Mingwei heard the word "shoes", she shuddered and stopped crying. She knew that she would never be able to turn things around today.
