However, now that she had already reached this step, she couldn't shrink away from him, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to explain her rude actions: "Please forgive You Miao, my prince. You Miao only concocted a new medicine when I heard my prince say that his heart was in pain, and wanted to give it a try to see if it had the effect of reading it for my prince.
Because the poison in Yan Yuan's body was related to his life, You Miao was very clear that as long as he brought up the matter of detoxifying the poison, Yan Yuan would always understand her methods. Hence, before he came here, she had already thought of a way out.
If the Prince really wanted to vent his anger on her, she could find a perfect excuse for him.
But right after Yan Yuan heard her explanation, he didn't even give her a single glance. With a light flick of his sleeve, he directly left.
You Miao knelt on the ground. Even though it was already summer, she felt a slight chill coming from her knees, penetrating into her heart.
Was there really a man in this world who could not get close to women, was clean, and was loyal to his wife?
You Miao was still unwilling to believe it, she thought, maybe she did not do enough, and her suggestion was still too subtle, so the Duke would not easily accept her offer of true love.
In the following days, You Miao suddenly became more obedient, and did not dare to be too obvious. As for the process of detoxification, to those who did not understand the effects of the Gu, to what extent did the detoxification come to, to the point of not being able to cure it, wasn't that completely up to her?
As for the Duke Palace's prefecture doctor Doctor Lu, although he was skilled in medicine, he was not proficient in medicine. As such, as long as he was sure that the poison in Yan Yuan's body did not worsen, and even when it was reducing, he would not suspect that she had done anything to it.
This was also the reason why You Miao was so confident.
The Dragon Gate Academy was already on the right track. Liu Ruo Qing would also often go take a look around, and ask those students about their studies. After all, she was a part of the Academy, and would not do anything else besides paying for it.
When Liu Ruo Qing returned from the Dragon Gate Academy, it was already dusk. Just as she entered the Duke Palace, she saw a palace attendant arrive at the Duke's Palace.
Liu Ruo Qing recognized this servant, she was the Eunuch Wang who gave the command to the Kaiser last time.
"Your servant greets the wangfei."
Eunuch Wang went forward and bowed to Liu Ruo Qing. Looking at the smile on Eunuch Wang's face, Liu Ruo Qing inexplicably felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Eunuch Wang is free, this eunuch is here for …"
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Eunuch Wang with a doubtful expression and asked.
"Reporting to wangfei, this servant is here on the orders of the emperor to have the wangfei enter the palace."
Eunuch Wang's attitude was still very respectful, which also showed how Kaiser treated her. No matter what Kaiser summoned her into the palace, it shouldn't be too serious, Liu Ruo Qing thought.
"Alright, wait a moment, eunuch. I will go in and change my clothes and enter the palace with eunuch."
"Yes, Princess, please."
After Liu Ruo Qing left, Eunuch Wang was led by his butler to the hall and sat down, while he secretly sent people to the study room to inform Yan Yuan.
When Liu Ruo Qing came out of the main yard after changing her clothes, she just happened to meet Yan Yuan who was rushing over from the study room.
"Wang De is here?"
Yan Yuan's voice was heavy, and he didn't sound too happy.
"Mm, the Emperor has announced that I'm going to the palace. I wonder what's going on?"
Compared to Yan Yuan's serious expression, Liu Ruo Qing was much more relaxed.
"I'll go with you."
"No need, I'm not a child. I just entered the palace, why would I need you to accompany me?"
Liu Ruo Qing shook her head and rejected, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
The Eunuch Wang did not wait for long in the hall before Liu Ruo Qing arrived. Yan Yuan, who was beside her, had a bad expression on his face.
Seeing Yan Yuan, the corners of Eunuch Wang's mouth twitched unnoticeably. After that, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand and walked over, "This servant greets Your Highness."
"Eunuch, do you know why His Majesty summoned the wangfei into the palace?"
The muscles on the corner of Eunuch Wang's mouth twitched a little.
He knew that if he'd spread the word that he would meet the prince, it wouldn't have been so easy to bring away the princess. She'd been glad that the princess was so easy to talk to, but had called her over as soon as she turned her head.
"This …"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant is only responsible for passing down the orders, I don't know what the Emperor summoned the wangfei for."
This scene was exactly the same as the last time Eunuch Wang came to the King Jing Palace to spread the news.
Yan Yuan still wanted to ask, but just as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Liu Ruo Qing, "We just agreed on it earlier, you're going back on your words again?"
Yan Yuan was helpless and could only compromise. He then said to the Eunuch Wang: "Then this king will hand the wangfei over to eunuch. Please take good care of her for this king."
"Your Highness is too serious."
Eunuch Wang secretly complained in his heart. The Prince had put the task of taking care of the Royal Concubine on his shoulders. Wasn't this making things difficult for him?
Although he was a eunuch by the emperor's side, he was still a mere servant. In the palace, only the empress dowager and the emperor had the right to do anything to an imperial concubine.
But, as a servant, how could he oppose those two?
The Eunuch Wang naturally did not dare agree to Yan Yuan's request. Fortunately, Liu Ruo Qing was easy to talk to and did not make things difficult for him.
"Yes, Princess."
The Eunuch Wang heaved a sigh of relief and immediately followed Liu Ruo Qing out from the hall, "Princess, please."
Yan Yuan escorted Liu Ruo Qing all the way to the door, but he was still worried, and wanted to follow along. However, he was stopped by Liu Ruo Qing, "I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he boarded the carriage that was already prepared, he closed the curtain and did not look back at Yan Yuan.
Her intuition told her that she wouldn't be able to escape so easily from the palace.
After entering the palace, Liu Ruo Qing followed Wang De all the way to the imperial study. This time, there was the Prime Minister Wang Shi, as well as a strange middle-aged man that Liu Ruo Qing had never seen before.
Liu Ruo Qing's gaze lightly swept over Jing Wang's face. He looked at her with cunning fox like eyes, looking at her, as if showing off to her.
Liu Ruo Qing retracted her gaze, and walked in front of Yan Shuo, "Greetings, Your Majesty. May I ask what Your Majesty wishes us to do?"
In front of outsiders, Liu Ruo Qing was not as casual as she was before Yan Shuo. When she spoke, she was extremely respectful.
Seeing Yan Shuo frowning, looking at her with a serious expression, as if something was difficult for him.
