At the same time, Prince Jing in the house was listening to Rong An's report.

Rong An was efficient and quick in his work, and he had already figured out all the situations when he went to find Xiuchun.

"I have asked the maids in Chaiyuan. Originally, Madam Lu wanted to have Xiuchun beaten to death, but the maids didn't dare. Xiuchun scolded her a few times, and Madam Lu got angry and whipped Xiuchun. Xiuchun gritted her teeth and endured for a long time. When Madam Lu wasn't paying attention, she pounced on her and bit off half of her ear. When I led people to arrive, Madam Lu was rolling on the ground, blood all over her body."

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"This girl is quite brave."

Rong An bowed and sighed, "After all, I grew up with Aunt Jiang."

Prince Jing asked again.

"Did the old woman get it?"

Rong An nodded.

"He's locked up in the compound in front."

Prince Jing stood up, looked back at the sleeping Jiang Wanyue, and then walked out.

"Tell Wang Wu to arrest all the people in the pharmacy and interrogate them separately, as well as the other night watchmen at the second gate..."

Prince Jing said several things in a row, and at the end, he changed the subject.

"As for the main courtyard, except for the ones who went out with the princess yesterday, the rest will be taken away as well."

"Yes."

Rong An didn't say anything, just responded and went out.

Prince Jing beckoned over several maids and told them, "When your master wakes up, send someone to report to me immediately."

As he said this, he handed a token to Xiuchun.

"Well done, take good care of your master. I will give her an explanation."

Xiuchun took the token that allowed her to enter and leave the front yard freely, and knelt down with the other maids.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Prince Jing strode away.

Xiuchun held the token tightly and turned to go into the house.

She did not wake Jiang Wanyue up immediately, but just stayed by the bed, and waited until it was time to take the medicine before speaking softly.

"Aunt, it's time to take the medicine."

After calling a few times, Jiang Wanyue slowly opened her eyes.

"Xiuchun?"

"The servant is here!"

Xiuchun helped Jiang Wanyue sit up and took the medicine bowl from Xing'er.

"This medicine was prepared by Doctor Zeng himself. The prince had it delivered. There will be no problem."

Jiang Wanyue didn't have much strength at the moment, and Xiuchun fed her the medicine in small sips for a long time before she finished it.

She let out a long breath.

"I didn't expect it to hurt so much... How's the prince doing?"

The first to reply was Mi'er.

"The prince had everyone in the mansion thoroughly checked, and took the people from the main courtyard away for questioning. Nanny Lu was also locked up, and she should still be interrogating her. It's a pity that the prince didn't say anything to the princess, and the princess didn't beg for mercy."

Jiang Wanyue calmed herself down.

"The princess is quite calm. She didn't panic even in such a situation. This kind of composure is worth learning."

Mi Er pouted: "What a pity! I thought I could overthrow the princess this time!"

Jiang Wanyue laughed.

"You think too simply. How can the princess be overthrown so easily? She has a son and a daughter, has been married to the prince for a long time, and has the support of the Lu family. As long as she doesn't make a big mistake, the prince will not punish her. Even if today's incident really implicates her, in the end it will only be a big deal. After all, no one died this time."

Then, she changed the subject.

"Besides, I never thought of bringing down the princess."

From the very beginning, she was targeting Madam Lu.

As long as Nanny Lu is eliminated, the princess's prestige will decline, and the situation in the backyard will change drastically. Jiang Wanyue will be able to win over people to work for her and secretly build up her own power.
