Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

"Shen Wanqing, are you crazy? Where did you take the general?" Princess Suyun tried to struggle, but was knocked unconscious.

The old housekeeper saw Shen Wanqing coming back with Princess Suyun in custody, but he didn't react much. He just looked behind Shen Wanqing and said, "Miss Shen, why didn't the general come back with you?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head and gave a brief account of the poisoning.

The old housekeeper's expression became sharp. He sternly ordered the people in the general's mansion to take Princess Suyun away. "Miss Shen, I'll leave the general in your care. Don't worry, I'll leave the antidote to this old servant."

The young guard beside her took a deep breath. Princess Suyun was in trouble now.

In Ji'an Hall, Du Zhijie felt as if he had had a very long dream, in which there was always a woman's figure.

It was already late at night when he woke up from his dream. He saw the old man lying on the table beside him, his head supported by his hands, and he had fallen asleep.

Feeling the dryness on his lips, Du Zhijie propped himself up and raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea. The sound of porcelain plates colliding startled the old man awake. He rubbed his eyes, his face full of surprise: "Du Zhijie, you're awake, are you feeling unwell?"

Du Zhijie drank a large cup of tea to calm himself down before asking, "I'm fine. Why am I here?"

"You just fainted." The old man sighed and tentatively said, "My little disciple came to see you, but I persuaded him to go back."

"Miss Shen?" Du Zhijie nodded. She looked delicate and beautiful, so she naturally couldn't spend the night outside.

Hearing what Miss Shen said, the old man curled his lips and said, "Okay, the illness is not cured yet."

He thought for a moment and then said, "You've been poisoned. My disciple said she has handed Princess Suyun over to the old steward of the palace. I'm sure with his means, he'll be able to get the antidote tomorrow."

As he spoke, he carefully observed Du Zhijie's expression.

When Princess Suyun was mentioned, Du Zhijie's eyes moved, and it seemed as if a consciousness in his body told him to protect Princess Suyun, but when he heard that it was Shen Wanqing's order, he held back and did not say anything.

The old man felt relieved. It seemed that although the poison would have an impact on Du Zhijie, it would not make him completely lose his mind and fall in love with Princess Suyun.

"Zhijie, how did you get poisoned? When did Princess Suyun come into contact with you?"

"I can't remember clearly, but it seems to be related to Sun Wei." Du Zhijie tried hard to recall those days, but his consciousness was somewhat uncontrollable and he said, "The poison should have nothing to do with Princess Suyun."

The old man was so angry that he was breathing heavily, and finally he closed his eyes and decided not to bother with him for the time being.

When he was detoxified, thinking back on his current performance, he would probably feel worse than eating a fly. Thinking of this, the old man chuckled.

Du Zhijie looked at him as if he were an idiot and was about to go back to the general's mansion, but was stopped by him again.

"It's not appropriate for you to get close to Princess Suyun now. You'd better stay in Ji'an Pavilion for now." The old man thought. Although he wanted to laugh at him, it would be really disgusting if he really had any close contact with the princess.

Du Zhijie was about to say that if he stayed away from Princess Suyun, his heart would ache, but the old man added, "Wanqing will come to see you tomorrow too."

"Well, this general will listen to you for now." Du Zhijie said in a deep voice.

He comforted himself by saying that he didn't want to see Miss Shen, but since he was poisoned it would be safer to stay in Ji'an Hall.

Meanwhile, at the General's Mansion, the old housekeeper treated Princess Suyun ruthlessly and even dared to poison his own master, attempting to seduce her and alienate the relationship between her and Miss Shen. If it weren't for the fact that she was the princess of Zi Luo Country, she would probably never get out of the dungeon of the General's Mansion alive!

Princess Suyun was not a tough person, and the truth was soon revealed under torture.

It turned out that after she entered the palace, a senior maid in the palace had been secretly in contact with her and got poison and blood from her.

As for how those people drugged General Du, she didn't know. They just told her that the poison was successful and asked her to go find General Du. General Du would definitely marry her as his wife, and then Du Zhijie could be used by them.

Princess Suyun was very excited when she thought of Xiao Chenyang's behavior towards Xuanyuan Qiaoer. She went to find General Du on the day he returned to Beijing, and sure enough, she saw that Du Zhijie's attitude had changed drastically.

But the general's wife's sweet dream didn't last long before she was suddenly trapped in a dungeon.

Princess Suyun endured the pain and begged weakly, "I can tell you the antidote, but the medicine packs are all used up. Some of the ingredients are only available to the royal family of Ziluo Kingdom. Please, let me go back. I will find a way to get the medicine to your general."

The old housekeeper naturally would not believe Princess Suyun's words, and only passed the news to Ji'an Pavilion.

Shen Yunlan and Jiang Ce had not received any news of Princess Suyun's success, and they were very anxious.

This shouldn't be the case. She had tried this poison on many people, and they all seemed to be deeply in love with the person who fed them their blood. She didn't know where the mistake was.

Now the Dali Temple has begun a thorough investigation into the bandit suppression incident of that year, and it is still unknown what evidence Du Zhijie has in his hands.

But things can't be rushed, so for now we can only deal with them one by one.

Soon Yuwen Ze received a message from an informant in the palace. They wanted to take advantage of Du Zhijie's poisoning to find a way to make Shen Wanqing marry someone else.

"Miss, Mr. Jiang has sent an invitation." Jing'er said with a frown, raising the visiting card she had just received from the doorman.

Shen Wanqing gently pinned a green snow-white gold hairpin to her bun and said slowly, "If that's the case, accept it."

Jing'er was a little confused: "Miss, aren't we going to Ji'an Pavilion to see the general?"

But Shen Wanqing just smiled slightly, then called Linglong and asked her to tell Zhao Yurou the time and place of the meeting.

She thought that Zhao Yurou would not be willing to give herself to her lover, and would definitely find someone to ruin the meeting.

But when Shen Wanqing arrived at the door of the agreed teahouse, she was surprised to see Zhao Yurou pretending to pass by. Didn’t the Duke forbid her to go out during this period?

"Miss Shen Si, long time no see. Why are you here?" Zhao Yurou greeted her softly as if she happened to see her.

Her complexion was very bad, and even with makeup on, she couldn't hide her deep fatigue.

Shen Wanqing said bluntly: "It was Master Jiang who asked me to come here, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Zhao."

Hearing this, Zhao Yurou's eyes flashed with guilt. She stepped forward and pulled Shen Wanqing aside: "Miss Shen, I'm the one who implicated you. I'm sure you've heard the rumors before, and you must be feeling bad."
