Chapter 65: Radiant Light Illuminates, Rectifying Meng Ruxue

  Last time she ran away from marriage, Xuan Yuan Qing let her hide in that secret passage...

  She remembered that Xuan Yuanqing had said that the place was originally where Ping Fei lived, and Rong Fei had a very good relationship with Ping Fei, as close as sisters. After Ping Fei's death, she often went to mourn her.

  At that time, she felt something strange. To say that in the imperial palace, those so-called emotions were extremely thin. Before death, the so-called good relationship was probably also based on concentrated interests, let alone after people died.

  When people die, it's like a lamp going out; who can still remember who?

  Now that she knew the true identity of Rong Fei, she became even more suspicious.

  At that time, Xuan Yuanqing repeatedly exhorted her not to go inside. At the time, she was originally running away from marriage and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she listened to Xuan Yuanqing's words and obediently did not walk inside.

  What about the other end of the narrow path?

  However, although there were some doubts, they didn't have a grasp on the situation, so at this moment Meng Cui Ying didn't tell Xuan Yuan Ye, thinking that she would go to Xuan Yuan Qing's place later to take a look.

  Thinking of Xuan Yuanqing, I suddenly realized that Xuan Yuanqing didn't come to the banquet tonight. To say, Xuan Yuanqing's feelings for Rong Fei are not bad, and she also likes lively scenes, so why didn't she come tonight?

  I haven't seen her for two days, I don't know what she's busy with?

  "Rou Fei has been poisoned now, what does the Emperor plan to do?" The Empress Dowager's face was still somewhat gloomy. She must be heartbroken about Lan Mei's betrayal. Although she had some doubts in her mind, even if the poison wasn't administered by Lan Mei, this matter was still related to Lan Mei.

  Just now, it seems that the emperor is protecting Rong Fei, and Rong Fei is still unconscious. The emperor won't really take out Bing Shan Xue Lian to save Rong Fei, will he?

  If that's the case, she would definitely not agree. After all, the Ice Snow Lotus is an extremely precious thing and can only be used on the emperor or the crown prince. As for others, don't even think about it.

  "Just now, the Empress Dowager said that since there is a poisonous medicine, there must be an antidote. Let someone go find the antidote!" The Emperor naturally understood the Empress Dowager's meaning, his eyes slightly sank, and he said in a low voice, of course, he would not take out the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus to save Consort Rong.

  But in his heart, there was another kind of worry. He had now completely confirmed that this Rong Fei was fake. So where was the real Rong Fei? Was she being hidden somewhere by this fake Rong Fei?

  The fake Empress is now unconscious, and I wonder if the real Empress will be in danger. The Emperor's voice was noticeably heavier with concern.

  "En." The Empress Dowager was somewhat satisfied with the Emperor's words at this moment, but she frowned slightly and said again, "But what if we can't find an antidote? After all, that poison is extremely rare, and I'm afraid the antidote won't be easy to find either."

  The Empress Dowager was afraid that the Emperor would be too concerned about Consort Rong, and in a moment of confusion, she used the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus on Consort Rong.

  "Your Majesty, why not ask the divine doctor to try again? Maybe the divine doctor will have a way." Liu Taizhong suggested in a low voice, seeing that there was some awkwardness between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager over this matter.

  The empress's body stiffened slightly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her eyes looking at Imperial Physician Liu were filled with obvious discontent, clearly displeased that he had spoken too much.

  After all, the Empress was very clear about the identity of that divine doctor...

  Meng Fu Ying originally didn't want to get involved in this matter again, but the fake Yu Fei actually wanted to put her to death, so she didn't care about that woman's life or death!

  But unexpectedly, Liu Taisheng suddenly pulled it onto the body of a divine doctor.

  If she goes to invite the divine doctor again, wouldn't her previous words be exposed? Moreover, thinking of Dongfang Shuo's repeated reminders when she left, her scalp felt a bit numb.

  If he were to let someone go to Beiyuan State again, who knows what kind of trouble Dongfang Shuo would stir up?

  "Yes, how could I have forgotten this? If the divine doctor can cure the Empress's illness, perhaps he can also detoxify this poison?" As soon as the Emperor heard Liu Taishou's words, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his voice became slightly more urgent.

  He immediately turned to a guard beside him and ordered in a low voice, "Hurry to Beiyuan State and invite the divine doctor again!"

  "Your Majesty, there's no need to summon the divine physician anymore. This poison can be cured." As soon as she heard that the Emperor had indeed ordered the summoning of the divine physician, Meng Fu Ying let out a soft sigh and spoke up.

  If it's really as Xuan Yuan Ye said, and the real Rong Fei is hidden by this woman, if she dies like this, the true Rong Fei will also be in danger. Moreover, letting this woman die like this would be too easy for her, so let's first detoxify her poison.

  As soon as she said this, the whole scene was shocked again, and everyone's eyes turned to her once more.

  They all looked incredulous.

  It's just that her precise calculations and analysis of the poison had already shocked everyone, who would have thought that the previously silly and foolish Miss Meng would actually understand so much.

  However, she understands these things and may have seen them somewhere before, so everyone can still understand and accept them.

  But at this moment, she actually said that she could detoxify it? Just now, Imperial Physician Liu had just said that there was no antidote for this poison in the imperial palace.

  Even so many imperial physicians for such a long time couldn't develop an antidote, yet she claims to be able to neutralize it after just coming into contact with the poison?

  " Meng Fu, don't be reckless, this is poison, if it can't be solved and something goes wrong with Rong Fei later, it will be troublesome." Meng Ru Xue, who had not spoken until now, suddenly walked in front of Meng Fu Ying and said anxiously.

  In fact, she really hoped that Meng Fu Ying would have an accident while giving Rong Fei the antidote, so that the Emperor would definitely deal with Meng Fu Ying. And Xuan Yuan Ye would not forgive her either.

  However, in front of outsiders, she still pretended to be considerate of Meng Fu's feelings everywhere.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes swept her with a cold glance, the chill in them carrying an unmistakable warning that made Meng Ru Xue's body tremble slightly, and she dared not speak out of turn again.

  "Feng Er, do you really have a way?" The Empress Dowager knew that Meng Fengying was skilled in medicine, but she still had some misgivings and asked with a hint of worry.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes also slightly turned towards her, although he was worried, but still believed in her.

  Actually, he had known all along that the divine doctor was her, so since she said it was okay, there shouldn't be any problem.

  "The princess, the antidote for this poison, until now, has never been seen by anyone. Those who were poisoned before, some died in ten days, others in half a month. The princess must not...". Among them, Liu Taishou was the most surprised, after all, he understood these things the best. After regaining his composure, he quietly advised Meng Duiying, and it was indeed for her own good.

  "Are you sure, Meng Fuying?" The emperor couldn't help but ask, and what he was asking was whether Meng Fuying had confidence in her abilities. If she did, then let her do it; if not, and it was just a try, then he wouldn't let this little girl take the risk.

  "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's actually quite simple to antidote this poison. The antidote is also very ordinary, just a few things that people usually eat." Meng Fu Ying naturally understood everyone's concern and smiled slightly, saying softly.

  She then mentioned several common things that people usually use, and some of them are even edible, none of which have any toxicity or side effects.

  "Is that all? Is that all it takes to neutralize the poison?" Dr. Liu was shocked by what she said, his eyes wide with astonishment and his face filled with incredulity as he stared at her. He was so surprised that he stuttered when trying to speak.

  Everyone who heard her prescription was also incredulous, and even more suspicious. How could those few things possibly cure such a rare poison?

  "It's just these few things, that's all." Meng Cuiying saw his surprised look and couldn't help but smile again, then instructed a small palace maid beside Rong Fei to decoct the medicine according to her method.

  The little palace maid didn't quite believe it either, but she also couldn't disobey her orders, so she nodded and left.

  "Don't pretend to understand when you don't, these things can't possibly detoxify. They're just ordinary food, are you trying to deceive us? The concubine took the opportunity to say again, "Although it's said that these things won't kill anyone, but if they can't cure Concubine Rou, then you'll be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

  Mei Fei heard what Meng Fu Ying said, those things were ordinary, so she was sure that thing would not be able to detoxify, and took the opportunity to want to make trouble again.

  Actually, at this moment, most people's thoughts are similar to Mei Fei's, so when they hear Mei Fei ask such a question, they all look towards Meng Fu Ying again.

  "Yes, sister, now the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Your Highness are all here. If you can't cure Consort Rou, it would really be a crime of deceiving the monarch. You must think carefully." Meng Ruxue spoke again, her voice still full of anxiety and worry, but this time, her eyes did not dare to meet Meng Fuyao's gaze directly.

  Seems like he's somewhat afraid of making eye contact with Meng Fu Ying.

  She was very clear that the current Meng Fu Ying was no longer the same as before and it was impossible for her to listen to everything she said like before.

  And now, with Xuan Yuan Ye helping Meng Fu Ying, it's definitely not going to be easy to harm her.

  But sisterhood is deep, still have to pretend, only in that way, when the time comes, if something happens, others will not suspect her.

  "Sister, it's the Empress Yu who has been poisoned now. We can't afford to make any mistakes. What if Empress Yu..." Meng Ruxue said with a worried face.

  "Yes, indeed, Concubine Rou's body cannot have any flaws." Meng Cuiying suddenly smiled slightly, interrupting Meng Ruxue's words, "If there is even the slightest mistake, I'm afraid my little life will be gone."

  Meng Fu's words seemed to be directed at Meng Ru Xue, yet also seemed to be a soliloquy, and as he spoke, his face was filled with distress and difficulty.

  Everyone was already somewhat skeptical of her detoxification method, and now that she has said so, they are even less convinced.

  "You, so you were experimenting on Rong Fei sister?" Mei Fei heard Meng Fu Ying say this, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of her eyes. She raised her voice even higher, saying "You're too cruel, aren't you? Using Rong Fei's life as a joke, if by any chance she can't be cured...".

  At this point, Mei Fei's words deliberately paused, but that meaning, everyone also understood.

  "What about Hu'er?" The Empress Dowager also couldn't help but worry when she said that, and Consort Mei's words were somewhat right. Just now, Hu'er had personally promised the Emperor that she could cure Concubine Rong's poison. If she couldn't cure it, there would indeed be suspicion of deceiving the monarch. Moreover, if they really ended up killing Concubine Rong with medicine, Hu'er would likely be in even more trouble then.

  As soon as she heard Meng Cuiying mention the prescription, her heart had already begun to pound, and now that she mentioned it again, her heart was also tightly suspended.

  Only Xuan Yuan Ye's lips curled up slightly, and he understood her meaning as soon as she said that, so he wasn't worried at all.

  And even if she really can't solve the poison, he won't let her get hurt in the slightest.

  "Sister, since you're not confident, don't take the risk. If something really happens, I'll be worried." Meng Ruxue heard Meng Fuying say this and was secretly delighted. It turned out that she didn't have confidence at all, but still put on a worried expression and hastily said.

  Meng Fu Ying's eyes slowly turned to Meng Ru Xue, staring straight at her, and suddenly said, "Yes, Fu Er knows that sister is the most heartbroken for her little sister, right?"

  She gazed into Meng Ruxue's eyes with a full smile, her voice also carrying a hint of deliberate coquetry.

  Meng Ruxue was taken aback, not expecting her to suddenly say something like that. For a moment, she couldn't guess what Meng Cuiying wanted to do, but still said with a warm face, "Of course, you're my sister, I won't mind you, who should I mind?"

  "En, en, Fu'er knows, sister will definitely not let Fu'er get hurt at all, because Fu'er knows that no matter what kind of danger there is, sister will always take the hit for Fu'er, right, sister?" Meng Fuying nodded with a pure and innocent face, her eyes looking at Meng Ruxue were also filled with gentle laughter.

  Meng Ruxue was taken aback once again, with a faint feeling that something was off. Meng Cuiying had just been staring at her coldly, so why did she suddenly make a 180-degree turn? Things were definitely not that simple.

  Deep in thought, pondering Meng Fu Ying's intentions and considering how to respond without falling into her trap.

  However, just at this moment, Xuan Yuan Ye suddenly raised his eyes, as if he had swept Meng Ruxue with a faint glance, and said lightly, "Fu'er is right, Snow is indeed a good sister."

  His voice at this moment did not have too much coldness, although he only slightly glanced at Meng Ruxue and then looked at Meng Fuyao, the words seemed to be directed at Meng Fuyao.

  However, Meng Ruxue's body stiffened slightly, after all these years, he was taking the initiative to look at her for the first time, and even called her Xuer.

  He had never called her that before, let alone such an intimate term, and he actually praised her in front of everyone.

  For a moment, Meng Ruxue felt as if she were floating, unaware of what was happening. She only felt her heart beating uncontrollably, and that nearly frozen heart suddenly had hope again. It seemed that her position in the emperor's mind wasn't bad after all.

  Even if it's just a good sister, as long as His Highness sees her goodness, she'll have the chance to get close to him.

  So, at this moment, Meng Ruxue didn't think about what Meng Bufeng's purpose was, nor did she care if she had fallen into Meng Bufeng's trap. She smiled slightly and followed Meng Bufeng's meaning, saying, "Yes, sister will absolutely not let her younger sister suffer even a little bit of harm. No matter what danger there is, sister will always stand in front of her."

  Since Xuan Yuan Ye praised her as a good sister, then she must work harder to play the role of a good sister.

  Normally quite clever Meng Ruxue, just because of Xuan Yuan Ye's sentence that was fundamentally ambiguous, she didn't even know who she was.

  "Really? Will sister really ward off all dangers for me?" Meng Fu Ying heard her words and smiled happily, with a hint of exaggerated laughter in his voice.

  Just then, when she glanced at Xuan Yuan Ye with a faint gaze, the corner of her mouth twitched violently, and in her heart, she secretly lamented, alas, he was indeed ruthless enough.

  He was very clear about Meng Ruxue's thoughts on him, so he was very clear about how to use Meng Ruxue's psychology.

  And he was indeed enough to be a demon, just one sentence, not even praising Meng Ruxue, but it made Meng Ruxue so confused that she couldn't tell east from west.

  Should it be said that this man is too sinister or should it be said that Meng Ruxue is too stupid?

  "Xuanyuan Ye, can you be more ruthless? Meng Fu Ying looked into his eyes, with a message that couldn't be any clearer."

  "I've sacrificed even my dignity for you, now think about how to repay me!" Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes, which seemed slightly innocent, also held a hint of unusual ambiguity.

  Two people, when their eyes meet, in that instant of time, there is an exchange of thousands of words.

  "Yes, it's true. Sister will ward off all dangers for you." However, Meng Ruxue did not see the emotional exchange between Xuan Yuan Ye and Meng Duiying, still basking in the joy of Xuan Yuan Ye finally noticing her, following Meng Duiying's words, she said casually.

  "Ah, sister is really good. Just now, younger sister thought about it and indeed shouldn't have taken a risk with Concubine Rou. If Concubine Rou really had an accident, younger sister's life would probably be gone..." Meng Cuiying lowered her eyes again, trying hard to hold back her smile, and spoke in a very worried tone.

  Meng Ruxue's lips moved slightly, as if she had already vaguely guessed Meng Cuiying's meaning. After all, Meng Ruxue was originally quite clever, it's just that she was a bit too young, so she didn't do things thoroughly enough.

  However, Meng Fu Ying didn't give her another chance to speak. She paused for a moment and then continued, "Just now, sister said she was willing to take any danger for her younger sister. Why not let sister try this poison first? Sister can rest assured that younger sister is actually very confident in being able to neutralize the poison. It's just because of sister's reminder earlier that she didn't dare to use it directly on Concubine Yu."

  Meng Ruxue's mouth unconsciously opened wide, and her eyes were extremely round. By now, she naturally understood Meng Fuyao's meaning, but just a moment ago, she had already said too much, and at this moment, for a while, she didn't know how to respond.

  "Sister, you're so fond of me, surely you won't refuse my small request? After all, I wouldn't really put your life in danger, and I'll definitely find an antidote. You must have faith in me!" Meng Fu Ying saw Meng Ru Xue's current state and couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself, letting her pretend for now, but waiting to see how she would continue this act.

  The words paused for a moment, and then continued, "And even if the little sister really can't solve it, Your Highness will definitely find an antidote." As she spoke, she turned slightly towards Xuan Yuan Ye, asking softly, "Your Highness, right?"

  "En. If the antidote can't be found, I'll definitely find a way to get it back." Xuan Yuan Ye seemed to be cooperating with her, and the smile at the corner of his lips appeared to be more pronounced.

  Her intention is that he naturally wants to cooperate fully.

  What Xuan Yuan Ye said just now was also intentionally said to Meng Ruxue, and it was to prove that as Meng Fu Ying had just said, he would not let Meng Ruxue have any life danger.

  "Sister, did you hear what His Highness said? He won't let you be in any danger, so why don't you try this poison for your sister instead? Since you care about your sister so much and are always protecting her, you naturally wouldn't refuse, would you, sister?" Meng Cuiying called out "sister" repeatedly, making it sound especially intimate, and guaranteed again and again that nothing would happen to Meng Ruxue.

  And even more so, using Meng Ruxue's own words against her.

  Meng Ruxue's mouth was now wide enough to fit an egg, and her face turned paler by the second. Her body trembled nonstop, and her lips moved slightly a few times, but it seemed like her throat was blocked, unable to utter a single word for the time being.

  Agree to it? But that's poison! One careless move and her life would be gone. If she doesn't agree, wouldn't all the words she just said become false?

  "Sister, won't you get into trouble? You must help your sister out this time." Meng Duan Ying took in Meng Ru Xue's expression and secretly found it amusing, but she deliberately took the poison from Liu Tai Yi's hand and handed it to Meng Ru Xue.

  Meng Ruxue looked at the antidote handed over by Meng Bufei, her face turned even paler, and a pair of beautiful eyes showed more obvious fear. Her body also subconsciously took a step back, shaking her head violently, "No, I don't want it..."

  That's poison, drinking it could be fatal. Now, even Rong Fei is lying there, and the Emperor and the Prince are still unable to do anything about it.

  Meng Fu Ying's method was even more absurd, she simply didn't believe that it could detoxify.

  Although Xuan Yuan Ye said that he would find an antidote, but just now Liu Taai also said that the poison was extremely rare, and the antidote might be even harder to find.

  In case, when the time comes and can't find an antidote, Rong Fei still has Bing Shan Xue Lian, she doesn't have anything else, only waiting for death, she won't go take risks with her life.

  "Sister..." Meng Fuying's eyes sparkled, pitifully gazing at Meng Ruxue, and said with some grievance, "But sister just said that she would block all dangers for her younger sister, why not even help with this little matter?"

  In a low voice, it seems to carry a hint of sadness, listening to it makes one's heart ache involuntarily.

  As they spoke, he deliberately pushed the poison in his hand towards Meng Ruxue's face again.

  In the hall, everyone looked at Meng Ruxue with a hint of anger and disdain, thinking that what she had just said sounded good but was actually deceiving.

  Xuanyuan Ye's lips twitched violently, okay, he admitted that this woman's acting skills were indeed unmatched by anyone.

  "No, I don't want it! That's poison, I don't want to die!" Meng Ruxue was even more terrified at this moment, shaking her head faster and taking a few steps back.

  "Sister, won't you help me? I won't let sister die, I can save sister. So, sister won't help me either?" Meng Fuying said again with a wronged expression on her face, and her voice seemed to have a few more sobs.

  Her words paused slightly, then accused in a low voice, "So sister was deceiving Buru all along? Were the words sister just said all false? Was sister's love for Buru also fake?"

  In a low voice, with obvious sadness and a hint of despair, as he spoke, his eyes slightly drooped, looking even more heartbroken, as if he was about to cry.

  "I, I..." Meng Ruxue was left speechless, her pale face filled with even more frustration and embarrassment.

  But instead, she was increasingly avoiding the poison, and no matter what, she would never try that poison.

  Perhaps Meng Cuo Ying wants to take this opportunity to poison her. She won't fall for that.

  "Sister..." Meng Fuying called out again in distress, while Meng Ruxue retreated even further back.

  And the crowd's eyes towards Meng Ruxue were filled with even more contempt and ridicule.

  "So it turns out her deep sisterly affection was all just a fake show to deceive people?" Someone even couldn't help but say in a low voice.

  "Yes, usually it seems like they're considering everything for others, protecting them everywhere, but it's all fake." Some people echoed this, saying that where there are many women, there are many disputes. With such a good opportunity, these women wouldn't let it go.

  Meng Ruxue was stunned, her heart racing with anxiety, but for a moment she couldn't think of anything to say in rebuttal.

  "All the seven princesses have said that, they can detoxify, and now it's come to this point, she won't even help the seventh princess, and yet she says she'll take all the risks for others, what a deceitful person." Another woman said indignantly.

  "Yes, otherwise, you shouldn't have said such nice things at the beginning. Now that everything has been said, you can't even help with this small matter, it's really shameful." The tone of voice was even more sarcastic.

  Meng Ruxue was already furious, feeling like she was about to spit blood from being calculated by Meng Fuying. Now, hearing the gossip of the crowd, her anger reached new heights, and for a moment, she forgot where she was, what occasion this was, and who these people were. Her eyes widened in rage as she bellowed, "You're all so good at speaking ill of others! This is poisonous talk! If you have the guts, go try it out yourselves!"

  "Cut, you just acted like a sister who was willing to block all dangers for others, but what about you?" One of the concubines, hearing Meng Ruxue's words, immediately retorted angrily.

  "Yes, you're the one who's been deceiving people with your own play. Do you still have any face left?" Meng Ruxue's words had ignited public outrage, and everyone was now staring at her with anger on their faces, especially those who had just spoken up.

  "It's really 'knowing a person by their face but not their heart'. Who would have thought that someone who looks so upright and proper on the outside could be so cruel and vicious inside?"

  "Yes, yes, it's actually the Seventh Princess who is exceptionally talented and erudite. How can she compare? No wonder Your Highness didn't choose her." Someone else chimed in with schadenfreude, praising Meng Duan Ying while disparaging Meng Ru Xue.

  These words are really ruthless and precisely hit Meng Ruxue's most painful wound.

  Meng Ruxue's stiff body was trembling uncontrollably, and her absolutely beautiful face had turned deathly pale. At this moment, she looked somewhat terrifying.

  Everyone has just witnessed Meng Fu Ying's prowess, so they all highly agree with what that person just said. At this moment, there is not a hint of disdain or ridicule towards Meng Fu Ying, but rather a few more points of admiration.

  Hearing everyone's attack on Meng Ruxue, the smile in Meng Cuiyan's eyes slowly escaped, but she couldn't let anyone see it, so she slightly lowered her eyelids.

  Because at this moment Xuan Yuan Ye was holding her, her face lowered and she shrank into his arms.

  "Are you satisfied?" Xuan Yuan Ye's smile at the corner of his lips didn't hide at all, and he leaned in closer to her ear again, speaking in a low voice that also carried a hint of laughter, as well as several parts of unhidden adoration.

  When she heard his words, Meng Fu's eyes sparkled with laughter, and the smile at the corner of her lips became more pronounced, but it was still impossible for others to see, so she leaned further into Xuan Yuan Ye's embrace.

  Suddenly remembered the first time in Hou Wang Fu, Xuan Yuan Ye said to him, his red lips moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It seems that the fox tail has not been hidden well again?"

  From the very beginning, none of her disguises had ever been able to deceive him.

  "Got carried away again!"

  Xuanyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. This woman actually still remembered what he said, and she really knew how to hold a grudge.

  At this moment, Meng Fu Ying was leaning in Xuan Yuan Ye's arms, her head hung low, looking like she was heartbroken and sorrowful to outsiders.

  "Queen of Qi, don't be sad anymore, it's not worth it for someone like him." Someone began to comfort her.

  Meng Wai's eyes widened in shock, and after a moment of reaction, he found it even more hilarious. However, he dared not laugh out loud, so he could only force himself to hold back, feeling somewhat stifled.

  But as soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Meng Cuiying once again.

  She saw her body shaking, as if she was crying. Unconsciously, they sympathized with her even more, and felt even more disgusted with Meng Ruxue.

  "Yes, indeed, Seventh Princess, it's not worth being heartbroken for that kind of person." Someone immediately chimed in and said.

  "Come on, don't be sad anymore, forget it, don't bother with this kind of person." Even Mingfei started to persuade her.

  Although Meng Bufei had been holding back his laughter, Xuan Yuan Ye had been laughing very recklessly all along. However, at this moment everyone turned to look over here and they were all advising Meng Bufei, which made him not dare to laugh anymore.

  She just wrapped her arms around Meng Fu Ying's hand and gave it a slight squeeze, with too many complicated implications.

  She can hide in his arms and laugh.

  Meng Fu's shadow grew more and more amused, hiding in his arms, the corners of his lips and eyebrows all raised, although he couldn't laugh out loud, but also didn't need to cover up the smile on his face.

  Xuanyuan Ye looked at her with an even more gloomy face.

  But Meng Ruxue saw their movements and was even more furious in her heart, wishing she could directly tear Meng Fu Ying apart.

  "The Seventh Princess, I have followed your orders and the medicine is ready." Just then, the little palace maid had already brought the medicine over.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bowl of medicine, and for a moment, no one mentioned Meng Ruxue again.

  After all, everyone is more concerned about whether the medicine can really solve Rong Fei's poison. Although they just witnessed Meng Fu Ying's prowess, the medicine was too ordinary, making it hard for people to believe that such an ordinary thing could cure such a rare poison?

  Meng Ruxue's eyes were also fixed on the bowl of medicine, to be honest, she didn't believe that the medicine could really cure the poison of Roufei, and at this moment, she even more didn't hope that the medicine could really detoxify.

  If the medicine could really cure the poison on Rong Fei's body, then her current situation would be even more embarrassing.

  Meng Fu Ying finally emerged from Xuan Yuan Ye's arms, her face expressionless as she glanced at the small palace maid's hand holding the medicine, then softly said, "Alright, let's go, take it over and have Rong Fei Niang Niang take it."

  "Yes." The little palace maid responded respectfully again, then carried the medicine towards Consort Rou's room.

  Meng Fu Ying also stood up and followed behind, Xuan Yuan Ye also got up and closely followed her side.

  The emperor and the empress dowager also followed, and Liu Taisheng, because it was really hard to believe, naturally followed as well.

  Other consorts of various ranks also came in to watch the commotion.

  Those princes also followed, although they couldn't enter the room, but were also looking around outside.

  For a moment, the entire hall was suddenly empty. Meng Ruxue was somewhat hesitant and indecisive, but after some deliberation, she decided to follow and take a look.

  She had just taken two steps when she was suddenly stopped by someone. She quickly raised her eyes and saw that the person was actually the Second Prince, and her heart grew even angrier. This prince who only knew how to indulge in romantic affairs all day long, could he be thinking of taking advantage of her? Hmph, what a nice thought.

  "Hah, don't get me wrong, I didn't have any intention of hitting on you. Although you look decent enough to catch my eye, but honestly, I'm not even slightly interested in you. If we're talking about innocence, you can't compare to those delicate beauties; if we're talking about charm, you can't hold a candle to those enchanting women from the brothels. And as for your sister, it's not even worth mentioning her in the same breath as you. I just want to see what makes this so-called 'Number One Beauty of the Xuan Yuan Dynasty' so captivating to men." The Second Prince's words were truly venomous, and he deliberately put on a puzzled expression as he looked up and down at Meng Ruxue.

  Meng Ruxue's face changed several times in an instant, from green to red, and from red to white, which was extremely brilliant.

  "Alas..." The Second Prince still didn't want to let her go, instead he carefully examined her and then deliberately sighed, "I really can't see it."

  Then he shook his head slightly and left.

  Meng Ruxue suddenly stiffened, feeling something rapidly rising in her chest, only to get stuck there, unable to move up or down, extremely uncomfortable, almost fainting.

  At this moment, in Rong Fei's room, the little palace maid slowly poured the medicine into Rong Fei's mouth. With great difficulty, she finally managed to get Rong Fei to swallow the medicine. Everyone's eyes also turned towards Rong Fei.

  After a moment, he actually saw that Rong Fei's originally pale lips were slowly becoming rosy, and her face also had some color.

  Liu Taisheng was even more shocked, staring blankly, quickly moving forward, hastily examining Rong Fei.

  His hand landed on Rong Fei's wrist, and the astonishment on his face became even more apparent. His eyes were wide open with great force.

  "It's incredible, it's really incredible. The poison on the Empress's body has actually been cured." Doctor Liu was so shocked that he even forgot to pay his respects, and instead continued examining the Empress while muttering to himself in a low voice.

  The voice paused slightly and then added, "However, Concubine Rou might need a little while longer to wake up."

  But as soon as Doctor Liu spoke up, everyone looked at Meng Fu Ying's eyes once again, and they were even more different this time.

  She actually managed to detoxify it?

  Was it a coincidence? But where in the world is there such a coincidence, let alone that this poison can be coincidentally solved so easily?

  Not to mention earlier, Meng Buxiang's brilliant inference had already convinced everyone.

  "Who would have thought that Queen Qi actually had such skills?" Someone started flattering Meng Cuo Ying, but the tone of voice was also truly admiring.

  "Yes, even the imperial physicians were at a loss, and yet the Seventh Princess was able to use this most ordinary of objects to neutralize the poison on Consort Rong's body." The Third Princess gazed at Meng Xueling with eyes that truly admired her, her voice also carrying a hint of gentle laughter.

  The emperor also secretly let out a sigh of relief, but his face did not show any joy, and his eyes looking at the gentle concubine were instead filled with a few hints of coldness.

  "Hmph, if it weren't for this woman still being useful, how could he possibly save her? He now can't wait to kill her directly."

  He just deliberately let someone take Lanmei away, wanting to find some clues from Lanmei's body. Since Lanmei was willing to stand up for her, it proves that there must be some kind of relationship between the two.

  "This time, I should indeed be pleased. I guarantee that this time I won't grab your fox tail." Xuan Yuan Ye hugged her again, and whispered with a low laugh by her side.

  Although I knew she was knowledgeable about medicine, I didn't expect her to be so formidable.

  Meng Fu Ying heard his words, slightly stunned for a moment, the corner of her lips couldn't help but curve into a faint smile. This man was getting better at joking around, and this side of him made him even more endearing, more casual, making people even more infatuated.

  Meng Ruxue, although standing outside, also heard everyone's conversation, and her face suddenly sank, with a few more hateful eyes, unexpectedly, Meng Bufei really solved the poison.

  In this situation now, if she stays again, later on, those people will definitely humiliate her once more. She wants to take advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly slip away.

  However, the Second Prince once again blocked her path, a playful smile on his face as he intentionally raised his voice and said, "Huh, you were just singing about sisterly love so deeply, but now that your sister has already cured the poison on Rong Fei's body, why haven't you even congratulated her, instead trying to sneak away quietly?" The Second Prince was someone who never bothered with such trivial matters, and although he usually treated women with great care, at this moment, he didn't show any mercy towards Meng Ruoxue, a renowned beauty.

  Meng Ruxue was stopped by him and teased by him, so angry that she almost vomited blood, but after all, he was the prince, and she didn't dare to do anything to him.

  "Ah, so you think you can just slip away like that, good sister?" The crowd heard the Second Prince's words and looked at Meng Ruxue again, with someone slightly ridiculing her.

  "The Seventh Princess Wang has made it very clear that she can dispel the poison, but some people just don't believe her and are scared to death. What's with all this nonsense about sisterly love?"

  "Yes, now the Seventh Princess has already solved the poison of Rong Fei, even if she wants to try, she doesn't need to try anymore." Everyone spoke one after another, ridiculing Meng Ruxue.

  Meng Ruxue was furious, anxious and ashamed, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Her body kept trembling with rage.

  All these years of hard work to create a good image have been completely destroyed this time, and I am even more resentful of Meng Fu Ying in my heart.

  However, if she knew that the antidote was really that effective, she would have drunk the poison just now.

  There is no antidote for regret in this world, so now it's too late for her to regret.

  So many women, you one sentence, I one sentence, one more ruthless than the other, one more venomous than the other...

  "All right, it's getting late, let's all go back." The empress dowager said after listening for a while.

  The empress dowager spoke up, and naturally no one dared to speak again. They all paid their respects and left.

  It's already midnight after all this fuss. It's really late now.

  Meng Ruxue also slowly retreated with the crowd, but those people who saw her quickly avoided her and kept their distance, making her even more embarrassed.

  Meng Fu Ying had no sympathy for her at all. This ruthless woman actually hired an assassin to kill her, it was really too despicable.

  "Fu'er, you also follow Yan'er back." The empress looked at Meng Fu Ying and Xuan Yuan Yan with a few more gentle expressions on her face, saying softly.

  "You send the queen back first, I'll go see what's going on with Qing'er. She didn't show up tonight?" Meng Fu Ying whispered to Xuan Yuan Ye after pushing him slightly.

  She actually wanted to go and take a look at that secret passage, where it leads to? See if she can discover something.

  But after all, that was Xuan Yuan Qing's room. If people were to find out that there was a secret passage in Xuan Yuan Qing's room, it would definitely bring trouble for Xuan Yuan Qing.

  Xuanyuan Qing is her best friend here, she can't let Xuanyuan Qing get hurt in any way.

  "Are you deliberately making excuses to not go back with me?" Xuan Yuan Ye's face suddenly sank upon hearing her words, and his voice also hid a hint of danger.

  "Of course not, I guarantee it, I'll definitely go back with you tonight." Meng Fu Ying's red lips curled up as she said repeatedly.

  "Is that so?" Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes flickered, staring straight at her, and suddenly leaned in close to her ear again, saying softly, "Follow me back tonight, and then what?"

  His low voice was full of temptation, with a hint of hoarseness and impulsiveness. For several nights, he had been accompanying her in the Shou Palace every day, but couldn't do anything, it was really frustrating...

  Tonight...

  Meng Fu Ying's face slightly flushed, and she glared fiercely at Xuan Yuan Ye. This man, where was his former cold demeanor? It seemed that he had become more and more charming lately.

  Seeing her slightly red face, Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes dimmed slightly, and he smiled softly.

  Meng Fu Ying exerted a slight force to push him away, then loudly said to the Empress Dowager, "Imperial Grandmother, I'll go take a look at Qing Er. Let His Highness send you back first, and I'll be right back."

  As they spoke, he quickly ran away.

  "Oh." The empress dowager was slightly stunned, then somewhat bewildered, and responded with a hint of concern, "Then slow down too, what's the hurry?"

  "Hehe," Xuan Yuan Ye chuckled and said in a light tone, "Yes, why run so fast? No one is chasing you."

  However, Meng Buru's footsteps seemed to pause for a moment before running even faster, and in her heart, she secretly scolded Xuan Yuan Ye, who was indeed a sinister and cunning demon.

  The emperor quickly left Roucheng Palace after everyone else had left, without even taking a second glance at Consort Rou on the bed.

  Meng Fu Ying arrived at Xuan Yuan Qing's bedroom, originally thinking that Xuan Yuan Qing must have fallen asleep. However, as she approached, she discovered that the courtyard was actually lit up.

  She was slightly taken aback, and her heart couldn't help but add a few more doubts. What was Xuan Yuan Qing doing outside so late?

  Deep in thought, his footsteps quickened unintentionally as he walked into the courtyard, where a young palace maid was holding a lantern and standing in the yard.

  Xuan Yuan Qing was actually lying on the stone table in the courtyard, holding a wine cup and saying to another little palace maid standing beside her, "Come, come, give, this princess will fill it up."

  A very ambiguous voice, with a few points of stiffness, obviously drunk.

  "Princess, you've had too much to drink, you can't have any more." The little palace maid hesitated and instead of pouring her a drink, cautioned her gently.

  Although she had been hiding here for a long time before, she never went inside. I wonder what secrets are hidden inside?

  This time going in, what will be waiting for her?

  However, thinking of Xuan Yuan Ye, she took another deep breath and slowly crawled inside...
