The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the bustling lobby of Herb Hall, Yun Mujiu glanced at Xu Houshan and the servant who took the handkerchief, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Master Xu, Xu Houshan, not only deliberately took bad medicine, but also used the medicine from Herb Hall as a gimmick, using poisonous gauze to contact non-toxic medicine, and then attributed all the faults to this princess and Herb Hall."

He pointed his slender fingers at the people kneeling on the ground, and his majestic voice echoed in the hall.

"You have no evidence, yet you dare to slander me, your princess. This is really disrespectful! I am a member of the royal family, and I am one with Lord Ye. If you slander me, you are slandering the regent of Zhongyue, Lord Ye, and even more so, the reputation of the Zhongyue royal family!"

Yun Mujiu pointed his finger at the surroundings and said coldly, "Someone, come here! Capture the person who was making trouble in the crowd just now!"

Don't let any one go!

In an instant, a group of guards from the Night King's Palace passed through the crowd and arrested the first few troublemakers.

Yun Mujiu took a few quick steps, passed the collapsed Xu Houshan, and said calmly, "Sir, it's time for you to come in."

Everyone in the hall looked over and saw a small group of soldiers standing outside the door. The leader looked familiar...

The man who came had a righteous look on his face. He was none other than Zong Quan, the Jingzhao Yin who had just taken office for a few months.

Not long ago, when Suixi invited a doctor, Yingliu also invited Zongquan at Yun Mujiu's instruction.

Zong Quan is different from Xu Houshan in that he got the position based on his real ability. During his tenure, he also performed his duties well and had a good reputation among the people. Although he was a member of the Night King's faction in private, he always looked righteous and showed a neutral faction stance.

To outsiders, they just think that Lord Zong is a fair and just official, who at least has never done anything to let the people down.

Zong Quan was wearing an official uniform and greeted Yun Mujiu with a smile.

"I have watched the princess solve the case. The princess is wise."

"I don't deserve it. The subsequent affairs will be left to you, my Lord." Yun Mujiu remained calm and acted in a businesslike manner.

Half turning around, he announced his own verdict: "Xu Houshan maliciously damaged the reputation of the royal family, slandered others and the medicine pavilion, and spread panic rumors among the people that the herbs in the Herb Hall were problematic. He really deserves to die."

She continued speaking quickly, her tone leaving no room for doubt - "Xu Houshan's crime is unforgivable. He should be dismissed from his post and investigated to serve as a warning to others. After he is imprisoned, he should be charged with 'disrespecting the imperial family' and given an additional punishment!"

"The group of people following Xu Houshan should also be sent off."

The scene was quiet, with only Yun Mujiu's upright voice echoing.

Xu Houshan's eyes widened, he was mentally broken, and his body became increasingly unwell.

"No! That's not the case!"

After his collapse, he coughed up blood madly and his face turned as pale as a death.

The old doctor from Tianyi Zhai shook his head and said objectively: "Your poison is getting deeper and deeper."

Xu Houshan finally understood that he was a chess piece of the emperor. The emperor was afraid that he was not sick enough and that he could not defeat Yun Mujiu, so he had him poisoned.

Firstly, they were thinking that if his condition worsened, they could cause trouble for Herb Hall. Secondly, to be more serious, his death would also cause trouble for Yun Mujiu.

However, Yun Mujiu temporarily brought him back to life and cut off the plan he and the emperor wanted to carry out to eliminate him. At the same time, she cleared the Herb Hall of grievances and preserved her good reputation as a medical concubine.

Xu Houshan became crazy and turned around to wrestle with the thin servant. He was finished, how could he not want to vent his overwhelming emotions!

He cursed and begged for mercy at the same time.

"Bitch! Why did you betray me?!"

"My Lady Princess, I am wronged!"

“Ah, ah, my lord, please don’t do that!” The thin servant screamed miserably, and turned his head to Yun Mujiu’s direction and shouted: “Princess…”

"Shut up! You can't call me princess." Xu Houshan slapped the servant again and pleaded with Yun Mujiu: "Princess, I was deceived! I have no ill will towards you!"

Yun Mujiu waved his hands without even giving Xu Houshan and the others a glance.

There was a hint of arrogance in her calm eyes and her words and actions were like a goddess chosen by heaven. She was so proud that she would not allow anyone to blaspheme her.

Violators will have only one outcome...

That is, go to hell!

Zong Quan nodded to Yun Mujiu, then turned around and took Xu Houshan and others away.

Xu Houshan struggled desperately, but was tied up by the yamen runners, with his entire body tied up.

Since Xu Houshan was unable to walk, Zong Quan asked four yamen runners to carry Xu Houshan onto a stretcher and carry him around.

Xu Houshan's legs were not able to move due to an old injury, but his upper body was still able to move. He turned his head and didn't want to plead with Yun Mujiu anymore, but instead changed his expression.

"Princess Ye, do you know who I am? I am the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. How can you dismiss me just like that?"

"Xu Houshan, I don't have the final say on dismissing an official. I am also following the laws of this dynasty."

"Princess Ye, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution?" Yun Mujiu thought it was very funny and laughed wildly. "This princess has a clear conscience, how can there be retribution!"

"Besides, Xu Houshan, you should take care of yourself first." Yun Mujiu walked to the stretcher and said the most hurtful words in a light tone: "You already have injuries in both legs, and you secretly took bad medicine to harm your body, and during this time you also ingested the evil poison produced by Zhongyue."

"Princess Ye, I still have connections. They won't give up on me."

Yun Mujiu knew that Xu Houshan was talking about the emperor and others, so he chuckled and added in a low voice: "Do you think that I am the only one who caused your fate today?"

You were betrayed by the master you followed, as well as your companions and followers.

"You!" Xu Houshan had no way to refute, Yun Mujiu whispered and added: "Besides, you are just a useless person."

"It is even more impossible for your superiors to protect your life and keep you safe."

Xu Houshan's face changed several times. The emperor was ruthless. He had been in office for many years and served the emperor, but in the end, could he not escape the fate of being betrayed and abandoned?

Xu Houshan was unwilling to give in and stared at Yun Mujiu in a suicidal manner.

Yun Mujiu didn't care at all, and said in a murderous tone to Xu Houshan: "Your body is ruined for the rest of your life. Not to mention the inevitable end of your legs being completely crippled, the poison alone is enough to kill you!"

Some people in the crowd saw that Xu Houshan had no intention of turning the tables, and they became even less fearful. They all laughed at him, "Xu Houshan, take care of your own life first!"

Yun Mujiu raised his voice slightly: "Someone come!"
