Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 487 It’s all Ye Chutang’s fault! (Update )
Yaohua Palace.

Concubine Ru looked coldly at Xiao Lanxi who was kneeling in front of her.

"Didn't you say you were going to ask Ye Chutang to come over and see me? Where is he?"

Xiao Lanxi bit her lip.

"Please forgive me, mother. I am incompetent and failed to invite her here."

Concubine Ru sneered: "Do you think she is so easy to control?"

After Ye Chutang returned to Beijing, those who had made things difficult for her had a bad end.

I heard that Yunlai Tavern is also doing a booming business.

How could such a person be an ordinary woman with a simple mind?

"She is not a spoiled daughter raised by a noble family in the capital. On the contrary, she is vindictive and cunning. Cheng Xuan and she have an irreconcilable hatred. How could she be willing to come here?"

Concubine Ru looked down at her nails. She had been ill for such a long time and had not taken care of them, so they had faded a lot.

Against such a thin backdrop, his hands looked even more pale, and how could they compare to his slender, round and smooth fingers of the past?

Even if I could see His Majesty now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to arouse the slightest sympathy from him.

Concubine Ru's face became more and more worried. She saw Xiao Lanxi kneeling with her head down, looking so pitiful, and she felt even more annoyed.

She sneered, "I heard that you went to the palace gate early in the morning to wait, but you didn't even get off the carriage and just refused. If this news gets out, as a princess, don't you feel ashamed?"

Of course, Concubine Ru didn't care whether Xiao Lanxi was embarrassed or not. What she cared about was that Xiao Lanxi had lost all her face by doing such a thing!
"Now everyone knows how destitute I am!"

Xiao Lanxi lowered her head even more: "It's all my daughter's fault. I didn't expect that she would refuse so straightforwardly. If I had known this..."

She choked up as she spoke: "I just thought that her medical skills were quite extraordinary, maybe she could really cure your illness..."

It sounds very aggrieved and sad.

Concubine Ru's expression finally eased a bit, and she said impatiently, "Forget it! Since I know she's not easy to get along with, I'll just have less contact with her in the future! Could it be that without her, I won't survive tomorrow!"

"Mother concubine!"

Xiao Lanxi raised her head hurriedly, tears in her eyes.

"Don't say that. You are blessed with great fortune. You will definitely get better."

After Guifei vented her anger, her emotions finally calmed down, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Lanxi was not as cold anymore.

"Alright, I know you are also filial. Get up now."

Xiao Lanxi then slowly stood up, supporting her sore knees.

Her calf was completely numb, but she didn't show it on her face. She just hammered it twice lightly, then seemed to remember something and looked at Concubine Ru again.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Concubine Ru frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Lanxi hesitated and said, "Mother, I heard some rumors today. Maybe... if Ye Chutang doesn't come, we can avoid a disaster."

Concubine Ru was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Lanxi looked around and then spoke in a low voice: "Prince Lie suddenly fell into a coma. I heard that there was something wrong with the antidote that Ye Chutang had mentioned. The entire Prince Lie's mansion is now on alert, but how can such a big thing be kept secret?"

"Really?"

Concubine Ru sat up straight.

With just a little thought, you will realize that this is really killing two birds with one stone!
If Xiao Chengqi never wakes up, who else can compete with Cheng Xuan for the throne?

By then, even if Your Majesty wants to kill him, many court officials will definitely try their best to stop him!

If we can take this opportunity to get rid of Ye Chutang, we can completely eliminate this scourge!

Xiao Lanxi said: "It's just a rumor. As for why King Lie suddenly became like this... we still don't know."

That's not important! Concubine Ru suddenly became energetic, and the pain in her body seemed to be alleviated a lot.

"So... the best!"

The truth is not important, what matters is the result!

"When King Lie was poisoned, it was indeed Ye Chutang who took the lead in treating him. It was also she who suggested that people go to Guanling to find an antidote. If anything happens to King Lie, she will definitely not be able to escape responsibility!"

Concubine Ru clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and murmured:

"Then... pray that he never wakes up!"

Xiao Lanxi watched from the side, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.

She curled her lips and whispered:

"If you pray, mother, it will come true."

……

Rumors spread faster than you think.

However, in just one night, the news that King Lie was seriously ill spread throughout the court.

At the same time, Ye Chutang's name was mentioned repeatedly.

——It was she who said she wanted to go to Guanling to look for medicine. She brought the medicine back, and King Lie used it for a while, but his health became worse.

Doesn’t this clearly show that there is something wrong with the medicine?!

Such words naturally reached the ears of Emperor Mu Wu.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere was cold and tense. Several imperial doctors stood side by side, all with their heads bowed and silent.

Emperor Mu Wu swept his eyes over them one by one and asked in a deep voice:
"You two came up with the recipe together! Don't you have anything to say?"

After a long silence, Zhou Kangxue took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed our ministers who discussed and researched the prescription, and asked Doctor Zhao to be in charge. He personally boiled the medicine every day and watched His Royal Highness Prince Lie take it. But... because this poison is new to us, we only came up with the prescription based on experience, and we dare not say that the prescription can completely cure His Royal Highness Prince Lie."

Emperor Mu Wu shouted angrily: "How dare you use this prescription to fool me!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Several of them knelt down at the same time, their faces turning pale.

Zhou Kangxue's heart also jumped suddenly, but he still defended himself: "Your Majesty, you are really wronging me! The reason why the Imperial Hospital dared to give such a prescription is because Ye Chutang once said with certainty that the medicine brought back from Guanling is the way to detoxify!"

He clasped his hands together and spoke earnestly, "As for this prescription, it is actually based on the medicine guide, with other mild medicines as supplements, and strives to maximize the efficacy of the medicine guide! If the prescription is wrong, then the biggest mistake is the medicine guide!"

Emperor Mu Wu's face froze, and he just stared at him solemnly.

"You mean, all this is Ye Chutang's fault?"

Zhou Kangxue swallowed his saliva.

"I didn't say that. I was just stating the facts. Your Majesty is the one who will judge right and wrong!"

Emperor Mu Wu said nothing.

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside:

"The former judge of the Imperial Hospital, Chu Qiyuan, is here to see you!"

Chu Qiyuan stayed at Prince Lie's mansion all night. In the morning, he didn't have time to go back to the mansion to catch up on some sleep, so he hurried into the palace.

When he came in, he first glanced at the people kneeling there, then looked away and saluted.

Emperor Muwu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Judge of the Court of Crown Princes. How is Cheng Qi doing first?"

Chu Qiyuan said: "His Royal Highness Prince Lie is still in a coma."

Zhou Kangxue sneered.
