Chu Xingluo returned to the palace and had just put Xia Taoyuan on the bed when Qi Nanfeng arrived.
"This medicine can cure Miss Wei's poison."
Chu Xingluo took the pill and gave it to Xia Taoyuan to take without any hesitation.
Seeing Xia Taoyuan's complexion slowly recovering and her breathing becoming less rapid, Chu Xingluo finally let go of his worries. If there was no antidote, the consequences would be disastrous. He knew Taotao's character and she would not accept any other solution except the antidote.
Chu Xingluo stood up and said to Qi Nanfeng: "Master Qi's great kindness will be remembered in my heart."
Qi Nanfeng smiled and said, "Prince Jing is so polite. The poison has been cured, and I am relieved. Miss Wei should wake up soon. I will take my leave now."
After walking two steps, he turned back and said, "Although this medicine can cure the love poison, it is too cold. When Miss Wei wakes up, you must take good care of her."
Qi Nanfeng left, Chu Xingluo stared at Xia Taoyuan's face in a trance, how could he not see Qi Nanfeng's feelings for Xia Taoyuan, that look was no different from the way he looked at Xia Taoyuan. He was not worried, he knew Qi Nanfeng's character, and he knew Taotao's personality even better.
Although Qi Nanfeng has a reputation as a playboy in recent years, his reputation is not bad and no one says anything bad about him.
It was not until the end of midnight that Xia Taoyuan slowly woke up. She moved around and found that there was nothing wrong with her body. She looked up and saw Chu Xingluo, and remembered how she had been before, feeling ashamed and angry.
Chu Xingluo brought a bowl of ginseng soup and fed it to her. She was indeed hungry, so she sat up and wolfed down the soup.
After drinking, she told Chu Xingluo the whole story. Chu Xingluo frowned, he must find out who framed Taotao.
"Who do you think it could be?" Chu Xingluo asked Xia Taoyuan.
"The eldest princess couldn't possibly harm me. The three little princesses went to apologize to me. Although they didn't mean anything and were pretty mean, they were just kids after all. It's unlikely that they would frame me in this way, but it's not ruled out that they were instructed by someone." Xia Taoyuan paused, then continued, "Zhang Qianqian has always hated me, Mu Yanran has always been sarcastic to me, Fang Muyao..."
Seeing that she stopped talking, Chu Xingluo asked, "How is Fang Muyao?"
Xia Taoyuan suddenly laughed: "She hates me more than anyone else. She wishes I would die from a thousand arrows piercing my heart."
Chu Xingluo was stunned for a moment. He hugged Xia Taoyuan and put her head on his chest, fearing that some danger might suddenly appear. Then he asked softly, "Why?"
"She admires Qi Nanfeng, and she thinks Qi Nanfeng ignores her because of me." Xia Taoyuan said slowly.
Chu Xingluo seemed to be thinking about something. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Taoyuan asked him what was wrong.
Chu Xingluo stroked her hair and said, "I will go to the Imperial Sister's Villa in the morning to see if there are any clues about the body. I will make the three little princesses tell the truth. As for Mu Yanran, Zhang Qianqian and Fang Muyao, I will send people to closely monitor them. No matter who did it, I will not let them off easily!"
Xia Taoyuan hugged Chu Xingluo tightly and said, "Although I hate them and suspect that this matter is related to them, we have to find evidence. And the few people who went to ask for water in the evening, I wonder if they are related to this matter?"
"Whether there is a connection or not, I will get to the bottom of it. When it's daybreak, I will send someone to the Prime Minister's residence and tell them that you are staying in the palace temporarily and not going back yet." Chu Xingluo said as he let go of Xia Taoyuan and let her lie down and sleep for a while.
Xia Taoyuan lay down as she was told, but she was thinking: How could it be so easy to get to the bottom of this? This place was not like her time, where there were surveillance cameras everywhere, leaving no place for evildoers to hide. Whether the mastermind behind the scenes could be found was up to fate.
Seeing that she closed her eyes, Chu Xingluo covered her with a blanket and went to find Qingyun. Qingyun said that no one recognized the body.
As soon as the day dawned, Princess Anping and her husband arrived. Long Yan led them to the study, and Princess Anping asked as soon as she entered the room, "Third brother, how is Zhiying? Is she feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Sister. Zhiying is still alive." Chu Xingluo's voice was quite cold.
Princess Anping and her husband looked at each other. It seemed that her guess was correct. Something had indeed happened to Wei Zhiying.
"Take me to see Miss Wei. What happened to her?" Princess Anping was a little anxious. After all, it happened in her villa. Even if she was not aware of it, she still had some responsibility for it.
"She just went to bed."
After Chu Xingluo said this, Princess Anping didn't bother her anymore.
"Does the emperor recognize that corpse?"
"No, I asked everyone present, but no one recognized him." Princess Anping said, "I also asked the servants to search him, but there was nothing to prove his identity. However, he did have fifty taels of silver in his arms, all in loose change. There was nothing special about the silver."
Chu Xingluo's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze was deep and ruthless, he said: "Zhiying was drugged, the man who died was about to do something bad to her, but was saved by Qi Nanfeng."
"What!?" Princess Anping took a few steps back in shock, but luckily her husband held her up and she did not fall.
Princess Anping stood firm, feeling a little scared. Fortunately, the man did not succeed. If Wei Zhiying had not been rescued by Qi Nanfeng, the consequences would have been disastrous. There were so many people present last night. If the bad guy had succeeded, Wei Zhiying would probably not have survived.
"Don't worry, this happened in the other courtyard. I will investigate it thoroughly and give you and Miss Wei an explanation." The prince consort said in a deep voice.
"How dare you do such a thing in my villa and put me in an unjust position? You are too bold!" Princess Anping's anger was already at its maximum. How could she tolerate such a thing happening under her nose?
"Third brother, your brother-in-law and I will investigate this matter and find out who poisoned her. No matter who it is, I will make her wish she was dead!" Princess Anping's eyes were filled with anger.
After the princess and her husband left, Chu Xingluo ordered Qingyun Longyan to send people to keep a close eye on Mu Yanran, Zhang Qianqian, and Fang Muyao, and report all their whereabouts and contacts every day.
Long Yanqingyun had no idea what had happened to his princess, but when he heard it by accident while waiting outside, he was extremely angry and vowed to seek justice for the princess.
The next day, before dawn, Xia Taoyuan heard someone talking outside. When she listened carefully, it was Wei Jinghe's voice.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, is Zhiying okay?" Wei Jinghe's voice was concerned and a little anxious, and Xia Taoyuan felt warm in her heart.
"It's okay now." Chu Xingluo said.
Xia Taoyuan got out of bed, walked to the door and called out "Brother".
Wei Jinghe quickly stepped forward to support her and said with concern: "It's still early, why are you up? Lie down and rest."
After Zhu'er, Fugui and Fushou returned, they tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Although she was young, she could guess what kind of poison the young lady had been poisoned by looking at her. Although Chu Xingluo asked her not to say more, she was really worried about Xia Taoyuan's safety, and after thinking it over, she decided to tell Wei Jinghe.
She couldn't knock on the young master's door, so she woke up her father, the housekeeper, in the middle of the night and asked him to knock on Wei Jinghe's door.
Wei Jinghe only heard Zhu'er say that she was poisoned, but he didn't know what poison she was poisoned with. Xia Taoyuan did not hide anything and told him what happened.
Wei Jinghe, who was always gentle, suddenly had a gloomy face. But when he saw Xia Taoyuan's slightly pale face, he felt a little distressed and said, "Take good care of yourself and don't think about anything. My brother will send someone to investigate."
Wei Jinghe had long regarded Xia Taoyuan as his own sister, with not only family affection but also gratitude. She was trying to save the Wei family, but was repeatedly framed, which made Wei Jinghe feel guilty.
"Zhiying don't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for now. I will take good care of her." Chu Xingluo said.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Prince Jing." Seeing that Xia Taoyuan was fine, Wei Jinghe said goodbye.
Chu Xingluo arranged a few maids, and Qingyun's mother also rushed over after hearing the news. She held Xia Taoyuan's hand, asked about her health, and personally cooked a nourishing soup for her.
In this place where everything was calculated for her, there were still people who were so kind to her. Xia Taoyuan's eyes were red.
Chu Xingluo entered the palace. He reported to the emperor that he would marry Xia Taoyuan on Mid-Autumn Festival. Then he went to the harem and visited the residences of the three little princesses.
Chu Xingluo didn't have a good face. The little princesses were usually afraid of him, and now they were even more frightened by his cold and sharp look. They just answered whatever he asked and didn't dare to tell a lie.
Chu Xingluo saw that he could not get anything out of them, and knew that it had nothing to do with the three of them, so he left. The three little princesses were interrogated by Chu Xingluo, but they didn't know what happened, and they were just frightened and uneasy.
Emperor Ying was quite happy. The third son was finally going to get married, which relieved him of a worry. He was in high spirits when he saw a happy event. He told all the officials about it the next day.
All the ministers congratulated the emperor and Wei Mingcheng.
The news of Prince Jing's Mid-Autumn Festival wedding quickly spread throughout Yunjun City. Upon hearing about it, Qi Nanfeng locked himself up and drank for three days and three nights.
Fang Muyao was with Mu Yanran and Zhang Qianqian when she heard the news. She appeared calm on the surface, but the hatred in her heart was surging.
Mu Yanran smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Prince Xuan and I have also decided to get married on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we haven't informed the emperor yet."
In fact, how could she and King Xuan have settled down? She just couldn't accept that everyone's attention was on Xia Taoyuan when they got engaged, so she kept looking for an opportunity to grab the limelight.
Within a few days, the news of King Xuan's Mid-Autumn Festival wedding became known to everyone.
Xia Taoyuan didn't comment on Chu Xingluo's story, but how could she not understand Mu Yanran's thoughts? Mu Yanran had always been upset with her for not being in the limelight during the engagement, and since she wanted to be in the limelight and get attention so much, she simply fulfilled her wish.
"Do you think the emperor will want us to be with them again?" Xia Taoyuan seemed to be thinking about something. She didn't want to be like when she was engaged.
Chu Xingluo gently touched her head and said, "Everything depends on you. If you don't want to, even if the emperor asks, it won't work."
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "How about this? We can keep everything simple, without holding a banquet or entertaining guests. We can just hold a ceremony and use the money saved to help the poor, which can also be considered as accumulating some good karma for ourselves."
"Do you want this?" Chu Xingluo asked softly.
Xia Taoyuan nodded vigorously, looking at Chu Xingluo without blinking. Firstly, she really didn't like the hassle, and simplicity was the best for her. Secondly, she didn't want Mu Yanran to succeed, and she wanted to compete for the limelight, so she let her do it by herself, and she wouldn't accompany her.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Xia Taoyuan smiled secretly. This time Mu Yanran's punch was like hitting cotton, and he couldn't use any strength. He must be very angry. Who told you to slander me and spread rumors about me every day? Humph!
Chu Xingluo went to the prime minister's residence to discuss wedding arrangements with Wei Mingcheng, and sent Xia Taoyuan back by the way.
When the little maids saw Xia Taoyuan coming back, they gathered around her to ask about her well-being. Mrs. Wei also rushed over after hearing the news, and grabbed Xia Taoyuan's hand with red eyes.
The maids all retreated knowingly upon seeing this. Xia Taoyuan said with a grin, "I was just about to change my clothes to meet you, and you came over."
"I'm sorry for wronging you." As she said this, Mrs. Wei shed tears. After Wei Jinghe returned from the palace, he told her and the prime minister about this.
Xia Taoyuan quickly helped Madam Wei wipe away her tears and said with a smile, "Mother, look, I am fine now, right?"
Mrs. Wei raised her hand and stroked Xia Taoyuan's face, her eyes full of pity. She knew that if it weren't for Xia Taoyuan, it would most likely be her daughter Zhiying who suffered these, so she was even more grateful to Xia Taoyuan.
