Chapter 4 Turning the Tide
"Your Majesty, the princess went to the prison and took Mrs. Xie out." The little eunuch bowed in and reported.
"What did you say?" Not only Emperor Guangde was surprised, but Xie Juan and the others were also surprised, and they couldn't understand how Chaohua could do such a thing.
"Princess, I took Mrs. Xie back to Xie's Mansion, and also asked the imperial doctor to explain to the emperor later in the palace."
Everyone looked at each other.
Gu Wang's face was the most ugly. She couldn't understand why Chaohua suddenly changed so much. Didn't she hate the Xie family the most?
"Father." Chaohua rescued Xie's mother and asked the imperial doctor to check her and make sure she was fine before entering the palace.
"Chaohua, how are you? If you are weak, if you have anything to do, just send someone to tell me. Why do you go to the prison yourself?" Emperor Mingde felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter's face was pale and sick.
He gouged out his eyes fiercely and said, "It's all the Xie family's fault. How could you let him go? If the antidote is not found, you are in danger of getting poisoned at any time."
Chaohua glanced at Xie Juan and said, "Father, I'm fine. Xie Juan is my husband, and Mrs. Xie is my mother-in-law. They are kind-hearted and treat me very well. When they heard that I was sick, she made me chicken soup."
, those chickens raised by the old lady of the Xie family are very nutritious."
"I just went to the Duke's Mansion to understand the situation. It was not the poison administered by Mrs. Xie, but someone secretly tampered with it, nor was it tampered with in the Duke's Mansion."
"Maybe Xie Juan met someone on the road and took the opportunity to poison him."
Xie Juan thought that no one had touched the food box he had escorted all the way to the princess's house, so it was impossible for someone to tamper with it on the way, but Chao Hua said this to help clear the Xie family's suspicions.
I suppressed the doubts in my heart and said, "I remembered that I bumped into someone when I was passing by a restaurant. The soup almost spilled, but he caught it for me."
"Well, it may be that someone tampered with you at that time." Chaohua stood up and walked to the emperor's side, "Father, there is someone else who poisoned me, and it cannot be the Xie family."
"My husband-in-law and I have just been married for less than three months. The Xie family didn't dare to poison me even if they had a hundred courages. This is obviously a frame-up."
"Mrs. Xie is my mother-in-law. She has poor health. She caught the cold and fell ill even when she was in the prison of Dali Temple. If she makes any mistakes again, others may say it is my fault."
Emperor Mingde thought for a moment, "Huh, they dare!"
"They don't dare to talk about their ministers face to face, but people's words are scary. If you talk in private, you can't stop the world from talking."
"My son, I don't want the Xie family to die because of our newly married couple."
She doesn't want to become a vicious supporting actress and serve as a stepping stone for others.
Emperor Mingde looked at his daughter, "Then the poison in your body has not been cured. If you cannot find the antidote, you will be in danger. What should you do?"
Chao Hua said: "Let the Xie family make up for their mistakes and send someone to investigate. Isn't the second young master of the Xie family the young minister of Dali Temple? He is an expert in solving cases. I don't think this matter will be a problem for him."
After hearing this, Emperor Mingde was sure that his daughter had really changed and seemed to have become smarter!
"Okay! Since you are begging for mercy, then I will give the Xie family a chance."
"Consort, you must take good care of the princess. If anything happens again, I will take care of you."
The plot turned around, Chaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt dizzy.
"Princess."
Two voices sounded in their ears at the same time. Both Xie Juan and Gu Wang held her hands with concern. Xie Juan pushed Gu Wang away hard, "Prince Gu, I don't need to worry about you. I will take care of the princess."
Gu Wang looked at Chaohua, hoping that she would choose him.
In the past, she would have pushed away the application form without hesitation.
But this time it didn't happen. Chaohua leaned in Xie Juan's arms and said weakly: "Gu Wang, you go back first! I'll find you when I have time."
Gu Wang: "..." Why did it become like this?
