The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, groans could be heard throughout the main hall.

"Doctor Shi, how are my wife and children doing?" Yun Xiang looked concerned, with anxiety and expectation in his eyes.

For some unknown reason, his wife and two daughters had all shown abnormal health problems in the past few days and were in great pain. He had consulted many doctors, even quacks, but none of them could find the cause of the pain.

Fortunately, the Emperor arranged for someone from the Yun residence to get close to Yun Mujiu to find out the news from the Ye residence. Otherwise, it would be difficult to invite the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, Shi Hongzhen.

Doctor Shi said with a serious face: "Your Excellency, they were poisoned, which caused their abnormal appearance and was often accompanied by severe abdominal pain."

He is nearly fifty years old, but he has a straight back, black hair, ruddy complexion and clear eyes.

Yun Xiang was extremely surprised. "Poisoned? How could they all be poisoned all of a sudden?"

"Madam, Miss Yun, and Master Yun have all been poisoned by the same strange poison, which is called Tiger Thorn Plum, and has a faint floral scent. If anyone smells this floral scent, they will suffer from severe abdominal pain and their appearance will become ugly.

"But the origin of this flower is unknown and few people know about it. I only learned about this strange poison by chance in an ancient medical book."

"Doctor Shi, please save me! Please save me!" Yun Jingyu's face was swollen like a pig's head and his complexion was pale. What was even more frightening was that both sides of his cheeks were covered with dense black pimples.

Ye and Yun Shirou, who were sitting on both sides of him, were not in much better condition, and Yun Shirou's face even looked more terrifying.

She wailed, "Yes, yes, Doctor Shi, please help us! I don't dare to go out and see people!"

She felt waves of pain in her abdomen, and it lasted for four whole days!

The more Yun Shirou thought about it, the more she hated it. She didn't dare to see the prince because her face had become ugly these days! She could only make excuses many times that she was not feeling well and couldn't go out. What if the prince saw her like this and it affected their relationship!

"Huh..." Yun Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The first priority is to detoxify."

As for how his wife and children were poisoned, there is currently no clue.

Doctor Shi opened the medicine box and took out several small porcelain bottles.

"This poison is not difficult to cure. The main thing is to prescribe the right medicine for the symptoms. This is the detoxifying agent I developed myself, which is specifically designed to cure the pain in the internal organs. As for the pimples on your face, I will prescribe another prescription. You can get the medicine according to the prescription and it will be cured in less than two days."

"Thank you very much, Doctor Shi." The tension between Yun Xiang's brows disappeared and he said respectfully.

Doctor Shi has been the chief doctor of the Imperial Hospital since he entered the hospital more than ten years ago. He is an outstanding doctor who is unmatched in medical skills and specializes in treating the emperor. It is not easy for ordinary concubines and princes to invite him. Among the concubines in the harem, only the favored Concubine Yu can often invite Doctor Shi. After all, Concubine Yu's only son, Prince He, is deeply loved by the emperor.

"Mr. Yun, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

After seeing off Doctor Shi, Yun Xiang returned to the hall to check on the condition of his wife and children.

After the three members of the Ye family took the medicine, their expressions eased a little.

Ye leaned weakly on the chair, her eyes no longer showing the charm of the past.

Yun Jingyu and Yun Shirou also looked like they were seriously injured, with their upper bodies limp on the table.

"Strange, how could you three be poisoned out of the blue? Could it be my enemies in the court who did it?" But if it was my enemies in the court who did it, who would dare to murder the family of a prime minister?

He has always been the one who plotted against others, but now someone would plot against him, Yun Xiang, and he has no clue to investigate.

Yun Xiang kept pacing, looking at the three Ye family members from time to time. He sighed and thought: "Forget it, the emperor's order is more important."

Yun Xiang stopped in front of Yun Shirou.

"My dear daughter, help me do something. When it's done, I will reward you handsomely."

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Tomorrow you will do it first... and then..." Yun Xiang's eyes flashed with brilliance as he told Yun Shirou his plans one by one.

Yun Shirou's tired eyes gradually brightened, and a stiff smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Dad, don't worry, I will do it well."

I had been so angry that I had no way to vent it. Now I had a chance to teach Yun Mujiu a lesson! What a coincidence!

—

"What's the situation at Ye Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, ever since Princess Ye came to the palace to express her gratitude, the Ye Mansion announced the next day that Princess Ye had caught a cold and was feeling unwell. The Ye Mansion had no choice but to close its doors and refuse visitors." Geng Wa knelt on the ground and stated calmly.

"Oh," the emperor sneered, "Yun Mujiu caught a cold not long after returning to the Ye Mansion. How could it be such a coincidence!"

The Yun family had always lived under his nose, and he had already sent people to investigate Yun Mujiu's background. Although Yun Mujiu was poisoned since childhood and her body was in great condition, she had just returned to the Ye Mansion when the Ye Mansion refused all personnel exchanges on the grounds that the princess was ill. No one would believe that there was no trick.

What's more, Ye Xiaohan has always been cold and ruthless. How could he bother to care about a useless woman, a chess piece that humiliated him?

"My dear brother, are you trying to hide something from me? Go check if there are any unusual people coming and going in the night palace these days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palace has always been a restless place. In addition to the emperor who is always investigating the news in the Ye Mansion, there are others who are also secretly observing the movements of the Ye Mansion.

In an indoor greenhouse full of blooming flowers, the queen, wearing a light yellow crane cloak, was casually trimming the flowers with a pair of small scissors.

She stood in the middle of the aisle, with many shelves on both sides filled with colorful potted flowers, including colorful winter azaleas, proudly standing colorful chrysanthemums, graceful daffodils, and so on.

"Yun Mujiu has caught a cold?" A cold voice suddenly came.

Nanny Pei replied, "That's what the Ye Mansion announced to the public. Princess Ye went to visit the Imperial Garden that day and spent a lot of time in the snow. Plus, she wasn't feeling well to begin with, so maybe that's how she caught a cold."

"This matter is a bit strange. Send someone to observe the Ye Mansion more."

"Yes, Queen."

"Be careful, don't let Yun Mujiu die easily. She is useful if she is alive." The queen raised her eyebrows and spoke in a firm tone.

Yun Mujiu means something to her. As long as Yun Mujiu is still alive, she will have the opportunity to achieve her immediate goal and her hard work over the years will not be in vain.

"You can personally take someone to deliver some high-quality medicinal herbs to the Ye Mansion, and tell them that the Emperor and I are concerned about Princess Ye's health, and we came here specially to deliver some items."

Regardless of whether Yun Mujiu is really sick or pretending to be sick, as the mother of a country, she should show some concern.

If it was a real illness, I would secretly help him to prevent Yun Mujiu from really dying. If it was a fake illness, then Ye Xiaohan must have other plans...

In addition to the Queen's concern for Yun Mujiu's safety, the Queen's son is also very concerned about Yun Mujiu's safety.

However, the prince did not wish Yun Mujiu well, but wanted to find an opportunity to teach Yun Mujiu a painful lesson to avenge Yun Mujiu's humiliation of him at the palace gate!

These past few days, Yun Mujiu's sarcastic words and ridicule towards him kept lingering in his mind, and he had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life!

After hearing the news that the bureaucrats had found out about the closure of the Ye Mansion, the prince was furious and shouted, "Damn it! I was looking for an opportunity to punish Yun Mujiu who didn't know his place!"

He desperately needed revenge, but he didn't dare to confront Yun Mujiu head-on because he was also afraid of Ye Xiaohan who was behind Yun Mujiu.

But now the Ye Mansion is closed, and Yun Mujiu cannot leave the house for the time being, so it is difficult for him to find an opportunity to attack Yun Mujiu alone.

The prince's eyebrows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and he muttered to himself: "These past few days, I have asked someone to contact Shirou again and again, hoping that Shirou would help me to make an appointment with Chuyun Mujiu, but Shirou always refused to meet, saying that she was not feeling well and would meet again another day."

"Could it be that Shirou is hiding something from me?"

The more the prince thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't figure it out.

He shook his head and made a decision: It seems that I have to go to Yun Mansion in person and pay a surprise visit to find out what happened.
