about himWhy care so much about his life and deathYes... why is this againYe Er's rhetorical question instantly left Xiao Qin speechless.Only seeing Xiao Qin staring blankly at Ye Er's eyes, she could...Having been by Miss Hua's side for so many years, Xiaohong also knew very well that once her young mistress made up her mind, nothing she said could change it.

Right now, I feel like my head is on fire. I'm so anxious that I'm pacing back and forth.

This... what can we do about this

Once she takes the young mistress to the imperial kitchen, everything she has done and all her deceptions will be exposed.

As soon as she thought about what was going to happen next, Xiaohong trembled with fear. No, no, she had to think of a way out.

But the young lady of the house wouldn't listen to her advice, what else could she do

Turning in place a few times, Xiaohong gritted her teeth. She wasn't sure what had come over her, but she glanced at the inner room and then turned to leave.

……

After Ye Er left the palace, the first thing she did was not to send her confidants to find a doctor, but to look for people from Qingyun Pavilion again.

He knew that the people at Qingyun Pavilion could contact the Princess of Beijang, and since he couldn't go to the Beijang Royal Palace himself, nor could he let his trusted confidants go, he could only do it through Qingyun Pavilion.

Upon returning home, he forced himself to write a letter. When someone from Qingyun Pavilion arrived, he handed them the letter and gave them two instructions.

After the people from Qingyun Pavilion thanked them and left, Ye Er almost collapsed.

His confidante hurriedly supported him, "My lord, I shall call for a doctor at once."

Ye Er weakly hummed in response, letting the two people beside him lift her onto the bed in the inner room.

Ye Er's body wasn't well to begin with, and today's ordeal just made things worse. If he doesn't rest properly, he'll surely be unable to cope.

When the physician arrived and saw Ye Er's near-death state, he was furious. He wanted to reprimand him harshly, but considering Ye Er's high official rank, he dared not be disrespectful.

Ultimately, he could only resign himself to treating him with acupuncture.

……

An Xuetang soon received a letter from Ye Er. After reading the contents of the letter, her expression became solemn.

That's why she said that there had been no news from Huāduǒ for so long.

There's definitely something fishy going on here.

Ning'er didn't stop her movements as she looked up at An Xuetang. Seeing that their princess's face was wrong, she put down the medicine in her hand and walked to An Xuetang's side.

"Your Highness, is something the matter"

An Xuetang came to her senses and nodded slightly, "Duo'er has some issues that need to be resolved."

"Shall I get involved"

An Xuetang hesitated for a moment, this matter was no small thing, it truly needed someone skilled to make the trip.

Having thought this through, she leaned in to Ning'er and whispered a few words in her ear.

Ning'er, upon hearing this, revealed a hint of surprise in her usually emotionless eyes. However, it was just for a fleeting moment before she regained her composure and said, "Rest assured, Your Highness, Ning'er will attend to it immediately."

"Well, be careful. The palace is heavily guarded these days."

"Ning'er understands."

Ning'er was always a decisive person. As she prepared to leave, she glanced at Shou'er and Kang'er, who had also heard the conversation between the princess and Ning'er just now. They both nodded at Ning'er in understanding.

They didn't need to say anything, they understood that Ning'er's look meant for them to be more vigilant and protect the Princess well.

After Ning'er left, An Xuetang personally burned the letter written by Ye Er, and then went to help Shou'er and the others make an antidote.

All the antidote needed throughout the mansion had to be prepared before nightfall. However, there were few doctors in the mansion itself. And at this time, it was even more impossible to ask for help from outside doctors.

Now they can't easily trust anyone.

So, it can only rely on Shou'er and the others to work hard.

Fortunately, Ning'er was gone for only an hour. An hour later, Ning'er hurried back.

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "Have you made arrangements"

Ning'er nodded slightly, "Your Highness worries, everything will be arranged according to Your Highness's wishes."

"Well, now it's up to Duoer."

As the sky was darkening, Ning'er hurried to join the effort of making the antidote. Working quickly, she finally managed to produce the first batch.

Yun Si promptly distributed the antidote to the brothers in the mansion.

……

After dinner, An Xuetang sat in the courtyard. The weather was starting to warm up now, and the flowers in the courtyard were also blooming. Being able to sit quietly in the courtyard after a meal was a satisfying thing.

Ning'er brought over a cloak and gently put it on An Xuetang, "My lady, if you feel cold, let's go inside."

An Xuetang chuckled softly, "Good."

She touched her abdomen. Three months, three months and her Ah Jing would be back home.

After Ajing returned home for a few days, the two babies in her belly were also about to be born. Right now, they just hoped everything would go as planned.

The so-called masters from the Western Regions are lurking outside the mansion. Tonight is sure to be a sleepless night.

She just sat there, waiting to see if they would have a chance to get into her Jingtang Garden.

Ning'er and Shou'er stood on either side of An Xue Tang, their expressions tense.

Tonight, they must not slack off at all.

……

At the same time, the palace was eerily silent.

It's common knowledge in the palace that the emperor isn't feeling well today. After having dinner with Huāduǒ, the emperor fell asleep again not long after.

No one seemed to think there was anything wrong with this. Before accompanying the emperor to his inner chambers for rest, Huāduǒ gave Xiǎohóng a look, leaving Xiǎohóng no choice but to nod at her reluctantly.

Only she knows how panicked she is.

She knew about the time Huāduǒ usually came out from her inner room, so after Huāduǒ went inside, she found an excuse and left in a hurry.

That afternoon, she also went out to look for him. But it seemed as if Heaven was deliberately playing tricks on her. The people who usually appeared by her side without any effort were nowhere to be found today, no matter how hard she searched. She was almost driven mad with worry.

Now that she knew her young mistress wouldn't be looking for her for a while, she had to try her luck right away and hope to find the person soon.

Thankfully, this time fate wasn't playing tricks on her any longer. By the time she reached that secluded spot, avoiding everyone else, the person was already there waiting for her.

Seeing this person, Xiaohong almost cried out of excitement. She ran to the person and, with a tone of coquettish reproach tinged with fear, said:

"Finally, I found you. You...what did you do today I looked for you for a long time this afternoon and couldn't find you anywhere. Do you know how scared and worried I was"

The man listened to her accusations, a flicker of disgust crossing his eyes. But this person was skilled at hiding their emotions, before Xiaohong could notice the emotion in his eyes, he had already changed as if nothing had happened, looking at Xiaohong's eyes with only indulgence.

Faced with Xiao Hong's accusations, he didn't retort. He simply reached out and gently rubbed the back of her head:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I swear and promise that this will never happen again."

His voice was so soft, as if he were afraid that speaking any louder would frighten the woman before him.capegoat, and the most unsuspicious scapegoat would undoubtedly be Bai Guang Gong.If this strike truly fails to eliminate King Beijang and Queen Beijang, then the people of Bai Guang Palace will serve...
