The eldest princess's mansion.
After Si Ning left, the eldest princess ordered someone to fry the medicine for the old lady.
After working hard all day, I was tired, so I went back to my room to rest.
Before leaving, he told his servants to report to the old lady at any time if anything unusual happened.
Zhou Yuan judged that the old lady could not survive for a few hours, and she was probably very busy tonight.
Sure enough, at night, someone from the old lady's side suddenly came to report that the old lady was in bad condition and fell into a coma after taking medicine.
The prince of Huainan and the eldest princess were about to rest when they heard the news and hurriedly got up and ran to the old lady's house.
The old lady has been very restless at night. She is either crying out of breath or coughing so much that she can't sleep all night.
She was delirious, but there were many lesions.
The mother-in-law and maids took turns guarding, and I thought it would be the same tonight.
As a result, after taking the medicine, the old lady actually fell asleep.
After sleeping like this, I never woke up again...
The maid thought it was the medicine that had an effect at first, but then she realized something was wrong and called a few times but no one woke up, so she hurriedly came to report.
The Prince of Huainan turned blue, looking at his seriously ill mother with uncontrollable sadness in his eyes.
The eldest princess didn't have any expression. She had always been unhappy with this mother-in-law.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned a blind eye to Sun Moran's tricks.
Although she was not disturbed in her heart, she still pretended to be so.
"That Si Ning kept saying that he could cure my mother, but in the end he harmed her. Someone, please go to Ning'an Marquis' Mansion and arrest her. I want to ask her what she is worried about!"
The servants were about to go, but the king of Huainan stopped them.
"First go and ask Zhou Yuan to judge, and don't go to Ning'an Marquis Mansion for now."
The servant did not dare to say anything and stood there secretly looking at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was naturally annoyed when she was refuted, but she just waved her hand and motioned for the others to go down first.
The servants were relieved, and only the eldest princess, Prince Huainan, and the old lady lying unconscious on the bed were left in the room.
The prince of Huainan stepped forward, and the eldest princess followed reluctantly.
When he arrived, he raised his hand to cover his nose to dissipate some of the unpleasant smell before speaking slowly.
"Master Hou, is it because of Lu Hanxiao that you don't let me go to trouble Si Ning?"
"Even if he was once kind to Yi'er, we have been almost the same for so many years. Now that his wife is going to kill her mother, should we just forget about it?"
Prince Huainan didn't say anything, just looked at his mother.
Seeing that he remained silent, the eldest princess became a little annoyed.
"Master Marquis, I'm talking to you. Isn't your mother your biological mother? Don't you want to seek justice for her? Are you going to let her die inexplicably?"
"She's not dead yet!"
Prince Huainan gritted his teeth and turned to look at the eldest princess with red eyes.
The eldest princess was frightened by this look, and her body shook in fear.
"Master Hou, you..."
"I know that you have a noble status. You were unwilling to marry me when you married me. You look down on me and my mother. But after all, she is the one who gave birth to me and raised me. She has been treating you with all her heart and soul for so many years. Now, Can’t death allow her to live in peace?”
The eldest princess looked shocked, no longer hiding her anger, and shouted at the Prince of Huainan.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I won't let her live in peace? What on earth are you talking about?"
The questions made the Huainan Prince's face become even more ugly.
For so many years, he had turned a blind eye to what was going on in his house and in his backyard.
Even though he knew that his wife had no respect for his mother, he still endured it for the sake of royal face.
But now that his mother is seriously ill, not only is his princess not in a hurry, but she is willing to use her mother's life to set up a trap for her own selfish gain.
Chilling, angry!
These were all the emotions the Prince of Huainan felt at this time, except that he was not disappointed.
"When Yi'er grows up, it's time for you to let go. Stop using those disgusting methods to control him. Whoever he likes and wants to be with is his freedom, and it's not something you can interfere with...
The eldest princess was immediately dumbfounded and looked at the Prince of Huainan in disbelief.
"You...what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am also controlling you? Could it be that you blame me for killing her back then? Are you complaining on her behalf?"
The Prince of Huainan twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to get too entangled with her.
"My mother is my last line. If anything happens to her because of you, I will draw a line with you even if I die."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
The eldest princess was stunned on the spot. She almost fell down when she tilted her body. She held on to the table beside her, and all the tea cups on the table were helped to the ground.
…
Zhou Yuan was woken up late at night and was very impatient.
I heard that it was someone from the eldest princess's palace, so I refused directly.
"Tell them that I feel unwell and have gone to bed early. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to see their old lady now, so let them find someone else."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and took a sip, his face full of pride.
The servant replied as he said and quickly ran back.
"Master, this is the maid from the eldest princess. She says that the old lady is in critical condition, so I must ask you to come here."
Just now, the little maid gave him a piece of silver, so the young man had no choice but to leave again.
Judge Zhou smiled and looked at the boy, "How much money did it cost to make you so diligent?"
The boy was so frightened that he knelt down. Judge Zhou waved his hand in a good mood.
"That's all, this trip is just a favor to the eldest princess."
Dressed neatly, it took a quarter of an hour to arrive at the princess's mansion.
The old lady was still asleep. Judge Zhou didn't even feel her pulse when he came up to her. He just glanced at her coldly and made a conclusion.
"In less than three hours, let's prepare for the funeral."
When the eldest princess heard this, her face turned pale and she slapped her palm on the table.
"Go and find Si Ning. Anyone who stands in his way will be killed without mercy!"
…
Si Ning was pulled up in the middle of the night and was very angry.
"What happened to the eldest princess's mansion?"
"Madam, the people at the princess's residence only asked you to come to the residence, but they didn't say anything else."
Si Ning waved his hand for Qiu Ju to go down first, and went to the inner room to change clothes.
Lu Hanxiao also woke up when he came out and sat on the couch to look at her.
"People came back and said you were sick."
Si Ning refused while adjusting her clothes, "It should be that the old lady's condition has relapsed. I have to go and take a look."
Lu Hanxiao frowned, "There are so many doctors in the world, but you are the most merciful and can help people in need?"
Si Ning didn't care about his cynicism and walked out.
Lu Hanxiao looked serious. He conjured a dagger out of nowhere and threw it to Si Ning.
Si Ning looked at the thing in his hand and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
She was going to see a doctor, why was it like entering a bandit's den?
Lu Hanxiao's attitude was very resolute, "When you go to the eldest princess's mansion, you not only have to bring a knife, but you also have to bring Qiu Ju with you. If you need the same thing, you don't have to go."
