Chapter 212: Lose the Fight but Not the Battle
The detoxification pill was given by Hong Yu.
However, when the doctor asked, Hong Yu suddenly became wary: "What's wrong? There is only one antidote pill. Give it to the eldest princess and it will be gone. You must not ask me for it. I don't have it."
Doctor Chen was stunned for a moment and then explained: "Young Master, I misunderstood. How could I speak freely about such a rare and expensive thing? What I want to ask is that the detoxification pill was made by yourself? You are the one who saved Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess today?" Meritorious minister, report it to the emperor, and the emperor will issue a decree to reward you. "
I don't know where this sentence struck Chu Tiankuo. His expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Hong Yu, his eyes cold and gloomy: "Do you carry an antidote pill with you?"
"What?" Hongyu suddenly became unhappy after hearing his questioning tone, and stood up and said, "What's wrong with me bringing the detoxification pill? My parents and princesses have a high position and hate evil. Holding great power will inevitably offend others. I don't know why. I was tricked by a villain at that time, so I can’t carry the detoxifying pill with me?”
Chu Tiankuo's face darkened: "You are so presumptuous!"
"You're so presumptuous!" Hong Yu counterattacked coldly, "His Royal Highness was poisoned in Prince Xuan's Mansion. Prince Xuan was not afraid of implicating himself, so he wanted to catch the thief? Or in other words, the poison was His Majesty Xuan's palace." Yes, you want to put our Highness to death?"
Chu Tiankuo's face turned pale, and he was about to say something when Princess Xuan suddenly said: "My lord, the top priority is to ensure that the eldest princess is safe and sound, then control the situation, and immediately send someone into the palace to report the matter to my father. The emperor will decide."
Chu Tiankuo suddenly calmed down, thinking of his mother's repeated instructions not to confront Chu Qinghuang. Even if she wanted to bully others, she must endure it and not be angered.
Besides, he still couldn't get rid of Chu Qinghuang's poisoning in Prince Xuan's Mansion for the time being, and it would be bad for him if it made a big fuss.
"The princess is right." He calmed down, and his tone was cold and murderous. "No matter who poisoned you, you must report it to your father first. At worst, let Dali Temple come to investigate. I have done nothing wrong, so who will?" Don’t be afraid of checking!”
Fucang picked up Chu Qinghuang, stood up and said, "I will take His Highness back first."
"No." Chu Tiankuo flatly refused, "I will send someone to escort Qimei back, and you two will stay -"
"Does King Xuan suspect that we poisoned the princess?" Hong Yu frowned, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Chu Tiankuo's expression changed, and he couldn't help but get angry again.
"Your Majesty." Princess Xuan came over and comforted her softly, "They are all members of Seventh Sister, so there should be no suspicion."
Chu Tiankuo stared at her without saying a word for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Hong Yu, secretly remembering this ignorant young man: "Go back and take good care of Qimei, and ask the imperial doctor to go directly to the eldest princess later." If you need anything else, please let me know at any time."
Fucang hugged Chu Qinghuang and walked out. Hongyu took a step behind and said calmly: "Before it gets dark tonight, I hope King Xuan can give us an explanation. If we can't find out who the poisoner is, then we will think that the murderer is It’s King Xuan.”
After leaving these words, Hong Yu gave him a cold look and walked away.
Chu Tiankuo could hardly believe that a little male favorite dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, "You——"
"Your Majesty." The princess spoke in time to comfort her and whispered, "He is not an ordinary person who serves others with sex. Your Majesty, please don't embarrass him for the time being."
King Xuan was slightly surprised: "How do you say that?"
"His Qing Kung is very powerful." Princess Xuan frowned, "The origin must be unusual."
Chu Tiankuo turned his head and stared in the direction Hong Yu left. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was not only beautiful, but also possessed of profound martial arts?
What is his background?
Chu Tiankuo thought of the recent rumors that the male favorite of the eldest princess's palace often visited the military camp, and Fucang's order just now to quickly order people to guard the flower hall, and for a moment he felt that the crouching tigers, hidden dragons in Chu Qinghuang's backyard were unfathomable.
He was silent for a moment, turned to look at his wife, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? How could a good person be poisoned? Didn't I tell you that all the tea and fruits presented must be handled by reliable people? Let too many people handle it?”
"I have explained it carefully, but I didn't expect that there were still some omissions." Princess Xuan blamed herself, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. It is impossible for someone who secretly poisoned someone without leaving any traces. Fortunately, Seventh Sister is fine now, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to explain to our father.”
King Xuan was still frightened: "I kindly invited Seventh Sister to be a guest, but it almost caused a catastrophe...Dangers are really everywhere, and it is difficult to guard against."
Princess Xuan did not speak, but turned to look at the noble ladies standing in the corner of the flower hall, and said lightly: "The poisoning of Her Royal Highness the Princess is not a trivial matter. If my father pursues it, no one present today will be able to escape the involvement, so for the time being, I can only feel aggrieved. Everyone, please stay here until we find out the truth, and you will leave here intact."
The noble ladies who came today all come from powerful families. They are well-informed and thoughtful. They know how to take the overall situation into consideration better than ordinary people.
Moreover, if you want to clear away the suspicion, it is wise to cooperate with the investigation now.
So all the girls nodded: "Listen to the princess's arrangements."
