The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent
Chapter 172 The truth is revealed, the underlying problem
After Yun Mujiu had someone prepare the sedan chair, he could walk out of Qichiyuan without waiting for notification.
Upon asking, I found out that all the guards guarding Qichiyuan had been evacuated, and people in the courtyard could now enter and leave freely.
When I arrived at Huayang Courtyard, the first person I saw after entering was Ye Xiaohan.
Ye Xiaohan sat in a wheelchair, holding his forehead with one hand, as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Highness." Yun Mujiu was supported by Chunlan and Xiahe as he walked. Doctor Fu was holding a large wooden box and a small wooden box, while Fu Qian was carrying Yun Mujiu's medicine box.
Ye Xiaohan had already learned of the news sent by Yun Mujiu's men, so he deliberately put down what he was doing and waited for Yun Mujiu's arrival.
"No need to greet, just take a seat."
Yun Mujiu nodded, without any hesitation, and sat down directly.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at the box that Doctor Fu placed on the table. "Is it the film and some medicinal material that are working?"
"Well, the prince also guessed it, and it agrees with my idea."
Yun Mujiu pointed to a small box on the table and continued, "It contains the raw materials of spices from Wu Shenyi's family. It turns out that the prince had an idea a long time ago, and the spices sent here just happened to come in handy."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Xiaohan said calmly and immediately understood what Yun Mujiu meant.
He turned around and told Butler Zeng behind him, "Bring Doctor Wu and his daughter here."
Butler Zeng nodded and quickly retreated with his guards.
Yun Mujiu still remembered the agreement she had made with the two of them, "Prince, can you send someone to the main gate of Ye Mansion to pass on a message for me?"
The Suixi siblings and Fuso, whom she had saved, were probably still anxiously waiting for her.
"Hmm?" Ye Xiaohan asked in confusion, and suddenly thought of how Yun Mujiu wanted to call someone to report the news after he woke up from his injury. "Those two people?" He had seen Yun Mujiu talking to the three children from a distance.
"Yeah. I made an agreement with them that if nothing unexpected happens, I will show up to find them."
Ye Xiaohan's face suddenly turned cold, "So you planned from the beginning to leave Ye Mansion as soon as my legs healed?"
"It should be. If there is nothing else..." If she had no concerns in the Ye Mansion, then naturally there would be no reason for her to stay.
"My legs are not healed yet, you can't walk." Ye Xiaohan came up with another reason to keep Yun Mujiu.
"The prince has been receiving treatment for such a long time, he will definitely be well again after a while." Yun Mujiu did not think deeply about it, but just superficially understood the superficial meaning of Ye Xiaohan's words.
Ye Xiaohan snorted coldly, thinking that Yun Mujiu usually looked smart, but sometimes he could be very insane.
He clapped his hands, and a black-clad secret guard appeared instantly.
"Ying Er, go find the princess's people and tell them that the princess is fine." When Ye Xiaohan saw Yun Mujiu talking to the three people, Ying Er also saw it beside him.
Ying nodded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Yun Mujiu felt relieved, and the corners of her mouth rose: "Thank you, Your Highness." She just needed to inform Suixi and Fusang first, and then talk about other things after she had dealt with the affairs of Ye Mansion.
Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Seeing this, Yun Mujiu also picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
The atmosphere in the room became quiet for a moment. Wei Bai and Wei Song looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say to break this situation.
Finally, Butler Zeng returned with Doctor Wu and Wu Mingwei.
Doctor Wu and Wu Mingwei knelt down and saluted Ye Xiaohan. Their appearances had changed a lot. Both of them looked haggard and their clothes were wrinkled.
Wu Mingwei asked excitedly: "Your Majesty, are you going to let us out? The dungeon is so dark and gloomy, I don't want to stay in there! I know I was wrong!"
Doctor Wu straightened his clothes and continued, "Your Highness, we really have no intention of harming you and the princess. Please forgive us! Mingwei only used the medicine to produce some cold poison gas, which will not cause direct death! We will do our best to remedy the situation!"
Yun Mujiu took a look and saw that Doctor Wu and Wu Mingwei seemed to have just been released from prison, instead of being detained in Chenxiang Courtyard as before.
Ye Xiaohan did not respond to Doctor Wu, but pointed to the large wooden box on the table, "Doctor Wu, go check the two sandalwood boxes inside."
Doctor Wu was puzzled. Did Ye Xiaohan reuse him? Without time to think about it, he stood up quickly and walked over tremblingly.
Ye Xiaohan didn't want to delay any more time, so he pointed directly: "The outer layer at the bottom of the box..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Doctor Wu brought out two sandalwood boxes. At first glance, he felt that the boxes looked familiar. However, most medicinal materials were packed in this kind of boxes, so he didn't think much about it.
He picked up a small knife that was on the table and carefully examined the bottom of the box, both inside and outside.
His eyes were dull at first, then changed to confusion, understanding, and finally to shock.
Ye Xiaohan asked expressionlessly: "What did you find?"
Doctor Wu replied: "Your Highness, this film must have been artificially applied to the surface of the box, and this film is made of a special material that will react with certain drugs..." He answered cautiously and did not dare to say more.
"Well," Yun Mujiu held the teacup leisurely, "What Divine Doctor Wu said is correct, but it's not straightforward enough."
She put down her teacup and added, "The incense made from the white silkworms of Tianshan Mountain has no smell. When you burn this kind of incense, a thin film will form on the surface of the object being incense."
"This film reacts with the snow grass, and the film itself will deteriorate, producing colorless and odorless gas in the closed and stuffy space."
Doctor Wu's face turned pale and he didn't dare to listen to Yun Mujiu continue talking. He knew that the next words were related to them, father and daughter.
Yun Mujiu didn't care what others thought and continued:
"This gas is harmless to ordinary people, but it is a taboo for people taking medicinal baths. This gas will react violently with cold medicines and backfire on the person taking the medicine!
"And most of the herbs on Divine Doctor Wu's herbal bath list are extremely cold medicines. The Fengling Snow Lotus that Miss Wu added to the prince's medicinal bath is the coldest medicine!"
Wu Mingwei looked at the two sandalwood boxes and found that these were the boxes she had touched at that time. She also used the sandalwood boxes to pack crushed herbs.
She hurriedly explained: "It's unfair! Someone must be framing us!"
With a plop, Doctor Wu knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, we are being wronged!"
"Who would wrongly accuse you?" Ye Xiaohan's face was cold. "You wrote the prescription, the Snow Repellent Grass is unique to you, and you also came into contact with the sandalwood box."
Doctor Wu and his daughter kept saying they were wronged, but they couldn't say who wronged them. Even they themselves felt that their excuses were far-fetched.
Wu Mingwei glanced at Yun Mujiu. Her only enemy in Ye Mansion was Yun Mujiu.
"Ms. Wu, why are you looking at me?" Yun Mujiu looked at Wu Mingwei with no emotion in his eyes.
"You almost killed me. If the truth hadn't been revealed, I would have been the one to die. I don't even bother to resort to such despicable means. Besides, all the evidence now points to you!"
Wei Bai spoke at the right time: "When Wei Song brought back the sandalwood box, didn't Miss Wu go to the back door of the Ye Mansion to check it out?"
Wu Mingwei had a bitter face and could not refute. She just stammered, "I don't know who will harm us."
