Chapter 4 Turning the tables

"Your majesty, the princess has gone to the prison and brought Mrs. Xie out." The little eunuch bowed and came in to report.

"What did you say?" Not only Emperor Guangming was surprised, but Xie Juan and the others were also surprised. They couldn't understand how Zhaohua would do such a thing.

"Princess, I brought Mrs. Xie back to the Xie Mansion, and invited the imperial physician to say that I will go to the palace to explain to the emperor after a while."

Everyone looked at each other.

Gu Wang's face was the most ugly, he couldn't figure out why Zhaohua suddenly changed so much, didn't she hate Xie's family the most?
"Father." Zhaohua rescued Xie's mother, and asked the imperial physician to show her, and only entered the palace after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

"Zhaohua, how are you? If you are weak, you can send someone to tell me. Why did you go to the prison by yourself?" Emperor Mingde felt distressed when his daughter was pale and sick. Gouged out the eyes of the son-in-law fiercely, "It's all the Xie family's fault, why did you let him out? If you don't find the antidote, you will be in danger of becoming poisoned at any time."

Zhaohua glanced at Xie Juan, "Father, I'm fine, Xie Juan is my husband, Mrs. Xie is my mother-in-law, they are kind-hearted and treat me very well, and she made chicken soup for me when I heard that I was sick , that is the chicken raised by the old lady of the Xie family is very nourishing."

"I went to the Duke's Mansion just now to find out the situation. It wasn't Mrs. Xie who poisoned her, but was tampered with secretly, and it wasn't tampered with in the Duke's Mansion."

"It may be that Xie Juan met someone on the road and was poisoned."

Xie Juan thought to himself that he escorted the food box all the way to the princess mansion, and no one had touched it, so it was impossible for him to be tampered with on the way, but Zhaohua said this to help Xie's family clear the suspicion.

Suppressing the doubts in my heart, "I remembered, I bumped into a person when I was passing by a restaurant, the soup almost spilled out, and he caught it for me."

"Well, that's probably when someone tampered with it." Zhao Hua hurriedly got up and walked to the emperor, "Father, the person who poisoned him is someone else, it can't be the Xie family."

"My son-in-law and I just got married less than three months ago, and the Xie family didn't dare poison me even if they had a hundred guts. This is obviously a frame-up."

"Mrs. Xie is my mother-in-law. She is in poor health. When she entered the prison of Dali Temple, she suffered from the cold and fell ill. If she makes any mistakes, others may say it is my fault."

Emperor Mingde pondered for a moment, "Hmph, they dare!"

"They don't dare to talk about my ministers in person, but people's words are formidable. If you talk about it in private, you can't stop the mouth of the world."

"I don't want Xie's family to die because of just getting married."

She didn't want to become a vicious female supporting role and be a stepping stone for others.

Emperor Mingde looked at his daughter, "Then the poison in your body is not cured, and if you can't 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 find out. Isn't the second young master of the Xie family the young minister of Dali Temple? He solves cases like a god, and I think this matter will not trouble him."

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde was sure that his daughter had really changed, as if she had become smarter!

"Okay! Since you are begging for mercy, then I will give the Xie family a chance."

"My son-in-law, you have to take good care of the princess. If there is any mistake again, I will take care of you."

With the twist of the plot, Zhao Hua was finally relieved and felt dizzy.

"Princess."

Two voices rang in my ears at the same time, Xie Juan and Gu Wang held her hand with concern, Xie Juan pushed Gu Wang away forcefully, "Prince Gu, don't bother you. The princess will be taken care of by me."

Gu Wang looked at Zhaohua, hoping she could choose him.

In the past, she would have pushed Xie Juan away without hesitation.

But not this time, Zhao Hua leaned into Xie Juan's arms, and she said weakly: "Gu Wang, you go back first! I'll find you when I'm free."

Gu Wang: "..." Why did it become like this?

Didn't it be agreed that even if she has a son-in-law, the relationship between the two will remain the same?
