Chapter 158 Why?
The next morning, Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui had just woken up when many people in the court reported Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan to the emperor.
"They say that Your Highness has become arrogant due to your favor towards the Princess, and that the Princess has committed murder. They all want Your Majesty to punish her severely."
"His Majesty has also sent word that Your Highness should come into the palace again."
Bei Chu recounted what happened in the court today.
"Write down all the names of these old bastards," he ordered.
For Xie Sui, scolding him was fine, but scolding A Wan was not.
When Xie Sui spoke to Yu Guiwan, his expression softened and he advised, "Be careful when you go out today. I'll send more people to protect you." It seems that things have been uneasy these days, so you still have to be careful.
If he didn't have to go to the palace again today, he would not have gone to Mingyuzhai alone.
"Don't worry."
Yu Guiwan specially dressed casually for the trip today and even wore a conical hat.
After Xie Sui sent Yu Guiwan off in the carriage, he walked quite a distance before turning around and getting on another carriage heading towards the palace.
Sudden.
Yu Guiwan lost her balance. Fuqiu quickly lifted the curtain and saw a group of people blocking the carriage. "Oh no! Princess, someone is blocking the carriage."
"It's okay, just sit back and relax."
As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage started moving and screams were heard outside.
"If you don't want to take this road, take the main road to Mingyuzhai." She gave the order, and the carriage immediately changed lanes. Xie Sui thought that someone would definitely block the road along the way, so she took the small road on purpose.
Now the usual road has become smoother.
As they were about to reach Ming Yu Zhai, the carriage stopped again. A guard's voice came from outside the carriage, "Princess, there are quite a few of us here this time. Please wait a moment."
"it is good."
Yu Guiwan lifted the curtain and saw that there were indeed quite a few people blocking the carriage. Fortunately, Xie Sui had sent more people, so Yu Guiwan didn't have to do anything himself. In just a few moments, all the people blocking the way were knocked to the ground.
What Yu Guiwan didn't know was that as soon as the carriage left, Bei Chu came forward with a few people, holding paper and pen in his hands.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
The people in front of Bei Chu were taken for questioning, and those who did not tell the truth were all beaten by the people brought by Bei Chu. As long as they said their names, Bei Chu would write them down.
……
When Yu Guiwan arrived at Mingyuzhai, Shi Lingyue's people had been waiting at the back door since early morning. When they saw her coming, they quickly invited Yu Guiwan in. Now that this matter had become a hot topic, Shi Lingyue naturally closed Mingyuzhai.
"I'm afraid that Mingyuzhai will lose a lot of money if it is closed for one day, and Boss Shi still has the leisure to drink tea here." As soon as Yu Guiwan came in, he saw Shi Lingyue drinking tea with no emotion on his face.
"Even at this time, the princess can still tell jokes. I think there must be a way."
Shi Lingyue stood up and made a 'please' gesture. After Yu Guiwan sat down, Shi Lingyue followed suit. "Since the princess has the antidote, I think things are starting to get better."
Something happened yesterday, and when she learned the news, Yu Guiwan had already sent someone to deliver the antidote.
"This makeup powder is made in Boss Shi's workshop. I can guarantee that the formula you sent me is absolutely flawless. I wonder if Boss Shi has any idea about it?"
Yu Guiwan had made it very clear; she knew that Shi Lingyue was a smart person.
"The makeup powder was indeed poisoned this time. If I hadn't asked someone to buy a box, I probably wouldn't have discovered it. Otherwise, the matter would have become even more serious."
"The doctor told me that if the poison isn't removed in time, it could be disfiguring at best, or even fatal."
Hearing this, Shi Lingyue tightened her grip on the teacup.
"It seems that Boss Shi has made up his mind. How about we discuss it tomorrow?" Yu Guiwan looked at her expression and thought that she already had an idea in her mind, so she took the initiative to say that she wanted to leave.
Shi Lingyue tried to raise the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, then I'll have someone escort you out."
*
The eldest princess's mansion.
"Your Highness, Boss Shi is here." As soon as the maid finished speaking, Shi Lingyue stormed into the room and stood in front of Xie Rou.
Xie Rou didn't say anything. She raised her hand and said, "You all can go down." After that, she looked at Shi Lingyue and asked, "I heard about the matter of Ming Yuzhai. Is it not resolved yet?"
Xie Rou looked at Shi Lingyue who was still standing, and quickly said, "Let's sit down and talk first."
Shi Lingyue looked at Xie Rou like this and closed her eyes. "At this point, do you still want to continue lying to me?"
The smile on Xie Rou's face froze, and she immediately returned to her normal expression, "Ayue, what are you talking about? What can I hide from you?" Xie Rou said with a smile.
"You're still lying to me!"
"You are the only one who has entered the workshop! It is impossible for anyone else to enter!" She shouted angrily, looking at Xie Rou with some disappointment. She thought of Xie Rou when the accident happened, but she didn't believe from the bottom of her heart that this was something that Arou would come out.
But after hearing what Yu Guiwan said, she knew it clearly.
Yu Guiwan and she are partners, so why would she ruin her reputation? The people in her workshop are all veterans whom she has employed for many years, so there is no way they could have any problems, so now there is only one person left.
That was her close friend, Xie Rou.
Xie Rou had anticipated this day, so she didn't explain further, tacitly accepting it. "Sit down and talk."
"Really you?"
She looked at Xie Rou in disbelief, her eyes red, "Do you know that that can cost someone's life? Xie Rou!" This was the first time she called Xie Rou by her name.
"Ayue, do you really want to believe an outsider's one-sided words and doubt me?" Xie Rou took a few steps forward, took her hand, and asked.
"Why did you do this? Those women are innocent!" Shi Lingyue could not understand how a gentle person like Xie Rou could do such a thing.
"Those poisons will only cause an itch for a few days and then go away. They won't kill you. Ah Yue, you and I have known each other for many years, don't you still trust me? Did Yu Guiwan tell you that those poisons are fatal?"
"Even if you blame me, you can't treat me like this just because of an outsider."
Xie Rou spoke with great sorrow, looking at her with disappointment.
Shi Lingyue calmed down, stared at Xie Rou and asked, "Isn't that really a fatal drug?"
"No." Xie Rou met Shi Lingyue's gaze and said calmly.
Shi Lingyue showed a puzzled look and murmured, "Then why did Yu Guiwan lie to me?" Logically speaking, it was not a good thing for Yu Guiwan to deceive her at this critical juncture. It would do her more harm than good.
