"Evidence should be used at the most appropriate time. If it has a better use, then why not make it public?" Ximen Hao chuckled lightly, "I have already been punished. How can I tell the truth? I have been punished."
Can I just disappear? Instead of doing that, why not be a fool first and let the people who framed me have some fun for a while."
"The old slave knows that the prince is a thoughtful person and must have the best arrangements." Lin Guanjia said. He has watched Ximen Hao grow up since he was a child. Although he can't figure out his methods, he knows that Ximen Hao is not
As ruthless as others said, he was regarded as such. Some of them deliberately imposed it on him sincerely, and it was also a means for him to protect himself.
Just like Ximen Hao, he was not only a master but a servant, but also had a strong affection for him. This was not something that a cold-blooded person would have.
"The killer grass will not be easily poisonous to people who do not know martial arts." Ximen Hao turned to the window and said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, you mean that the princess's drowsiness this time is related to the killer grass in her body?" Butler Lin's brows moved slightly.
"When the killer grass is not poisonous, it is hidden in the body and is not noticed by others. I asked the imperial doctor to check her and found no abnormalities, which means that there is no poison. I have also checked her fundamentals.
I have no internal strength and have never practiced martial arts. There is no possibility that the killer grass will become poisonous so quickly. But Su Ranhua was so lethargic after being attacked at Wan'an Temple, which really makes me a little confused." Ximen Hao turned around and sat on the chair.
, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.
"Perhaps the princess is really tired recently." Butler Lin said, then thought for a moment, and then said, "If there is no antidote, sooner or later the killer grass in the princess' body will become poisonous."
"Then it depends on her luck." Ximen Hao stopped thinking and turned cold, "It depends on whether she can wait until the day when I find the antidote."
Killer grass, as the name suggests, kills! People in the world have only heard of this poison, but no one knows where the antidote comes from, and no one can prepare an antidote.
Anyone who has been infected by the killer grass, as long as the amount of poison is still small, can be transferred to the other person through intercourse, which is the fastest way to save themselves, just like Ximen Hao's treatment of Su Ranhua.
But when the poison is deep, it is just a matter of seeking medical treatment in a hurry. They get some medicine that can delay the toxicity, but they cannot get rid of the root cause, and they face life-threatening danger at any time.
However, one of its characteristics is that for those who do not know martial arts and do not exert great strength, the toxicity will not suddenly occur. It will only be hidden in the body, slowly growing and spreading. With a period of survival, there is also a waiting period.
Antidote time.
However, as Butler Lin said, if there is no antidote, we will still face the moment when the poison takes hold.
Butler Lin looked at Ximen Hao's usual stern face and said nothing more. He was sure that Ximen Hao cared about Su Ranhua, but he didn't realize it or didn't want to admit it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have slept with her because of her.
I have been thinking about the issue of killer grass for a long time. After all, a weak woman will feel physically and mentally tired after what happened one after another during this period.
"Slave, please see the prince."
While the two were talking, Mo'er came to the study, carefully walked into the door, and saluted Ximen Hao.
"What's the matter?" Ximen Hao asked expressionlessly, already expecting that it must be related to Su Ranhua.
"The princess ordered her servant to report to the prince. The princess has sent her wife back to the prime minister's house." Mo'er replied.
"Yes, I understand." Ximen Hao nodded lightly.
Mo'er waited for a long time, but didn't see Ximen Hao say another word. He really didn't know what to do. Su Ranhua had already accompanied the third lady back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He just asked her to inform the prince. Her tone was casual and decisive. She was the one to deliver the message.
At that time, I was already very careful about what I said to Ximen Hao, for fear of angering the prince and implicating myself.
"Is there anything else?" Ximen Hao asked coldly when he saw Mo'er standing still.
"Oh, please excuse me, slave." Upon hearing this, Mo'er hurriedly exited the study room before daring to take a breath.
She did not expect that the princess would dare to kill her first and then show off, leaving the palace first and letting her report later, nor did she expect that Ximen Hao would not care at all.
"Ran Hua, if you don't tell the prince personally, will nothing happen?"
Sitting on the carriage returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third lady asked worriedly.
"No, mother." Su Ranhua said with a slight smile. Looking at the bustling street outside the car window, the smile on his lips became even stronger.
When her cooperative relationship with Ximen Hao became more and more clear, Ximen Hao no longer bothered to make a fuss about these trivial matters, and as Princess Bei, she also had relative freedom in the palace.
Since Su Ranhua was allowed to demolish the corridor and rebuild the courtyard wall of Wutong Residence, everyone in the palace has been rethinking the relationship between Ximen Hao and her.
"Ranhua, my mother is happy to see that your life is getting better and better." The third lady took Su Ranhua's hand, with a bright smile on her pale face.
"Mom, don't worry, everything will be fine." Su Ranhua looked at the third lady and said firmly, she will take good care of this fragile mother for the owner of this body.
"Ran Hua," the third lady said. She glanced at the coachman driving outside the curtain, next to Su Ran Hua, and whispered, "No matter what idea you have, if King Bei is willing to treat you well, you can
If you continue to live like this, don't destroy your own comfort for your father, and don't care about mother's situation. As long as you live well, that is mother's greatest wish."
"Mother." Su Ranhua looked at the woman in front of her seriously. She was too weak to withstand any blow, but she still had the determination to go through fire and water for her daughter.
In terms of loving their children, the third lady and the Yao concubine are very similar. For the sake of their children, they can do any unexpected thing, and for the sake of their children, they are not afraid of anything.
Having such a mother is her biggest gain in this world.
"Mom, don't worry, I will solve everything well." Su Ranhua held the third lady's hand tightly with her backhand.
"Dye painting!" The third lady stared at her daughter. Since she married into the North Prince's Mansion, she has become obviously different and much bolder. But she is so afraid that if she continues to be so bold, it will bring unexpected consequences, which will make her suffer for the rest of her life.
relief.
When he saw Su Ranhua personally accompanying the third lady back, a slight surprise flashed across Su Luocheng's face.
Su Ranhua glanced around at the people who were looking at her strangely, with sharp eyes and a cold and high-pitched voice, "What? Is this the way you greeted Princess Bei?"
The sonorous and powerful voice that penetrated the eardrums and the majestic look made everyone tremble.
"See Princess Bei." The timid one was the first to salute.
Followed by uneven sounds of bowing and saluting one after another.
Su Ranhua's eyes fell on Su Luocheng and the two ladies accompanying him, making no sound but with extremely penetrating power.
"Welcoming ministers, please see the princess." Su Luocheng waved his sleeves and cupped his hands to hide the unhappiness in his heart, and saluted Su Ranhua.
When the two ladies saw this, although they were surprised and unwilling to accept it, they had no choice but to follow suit.
As she raised her head, the second lady's eyes full of anger were directed at Su Ranhua without concealment.
