Yang Suxin followed Yin Cong towards the palace. On the way, she asked Yin Cong, "The other day I heard my father say that His Highness was poisoned again. How is he now?"
Yin Cong turned back expressionlessly and looked at Yang Suxin, who was sticking her head out of the carriage. "His Highness is fine."
Yang Suxin heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "That's good. That's good."
Seeing Yang Suxin so worried about their Highness, Yin Cong was really happy for His Highness from the bottom of his heart. After all, after so many years, there was finally someone who treated His Highness sincerely.
Inside the Regent's Mansion.
Mo Qinghuan finished her breakfast and sat in the yard, studying how to embroider a bellyband for the baby.
Dan'er was beside her, giving instructions while stealing glances at Mo Qinghuan's loving look.
Mo Qinghuan looked up at her. "Why are you looking at me? Tell me if this embroidery is right."
Dan'er shifted her gaze back to the embroidery. "Your Ladyship is so intelligent that you learn things quickly. Of course, it's right. Just follow this stitch and continue, and you'll see the prototype soon."
Mo Qinghuan chuckled. "You're so good at flattering. But it's okay to use the pattern of a tiger, right? I heard that there are many taboos in embroidery. I know we can't use the dragon pattern."
Dan'er nodded. "Your Ladyship, please rest assured. This servant has already asked someone. It's absolutely okay for the young heir to use the tiger pattern."
Only then did Mo Qinghuan feel relieved. "Okay, then watch. I'll continue embroidering."
Dongxue and Dongmei were standing not far away, their eyes always on her.
Dongmei said, "Sister, have you heard? Miss Gu has been found, but something really bad happened to her. I heard she's a bit out of her mind."
Dongxue sighed. "You did your best yesterday."
Dongmei looked at Mo Qinghuan, narrowing her eyes slightly. "I wonder what Lady Wang will think after she hears this. Will she feel a bit guilty?"
Just as she was about to step forward, Dongxue grabbed her. "Don't make trouble! Dan'er and Shuang'er will naturally tell her. Do you need to go and butt in?"
"I just want to see her reaction. I want to see if she's so cold - hearted that she shows no reaction at all!"
Dongxue glared at her. "Why do I feel that you have so many complaints about Lady Wang? Do you know that if Lady Wang finds out about this, no one can protect you!"
"Am I afraid of her? It's just a life. She can take it if she wants. But I won't pretend to be nice to her. Anyway, I'll be a good person again after eighteen years!"
Dongxue was so angry that she closed her eyes and it took her a while to calm down.
"Yes, you don't care about your own life, but can you think about me? You're my only relative. Do you have the heart to leave me alone in this world?"
Seeing the tears in Dongxue's eyes, Dongmei obediently returned to her position and stood still.
After a while, Shuang'er brought some snacks. "Your Ladyship, people in the capital have been talking about Miss Gu's matter these days."
Mo Qinghuan's attention was all on the embroidery and she didn't look up. "Oh, she's been found?"
Shuang'er softly replied with an "um". Dan'er looked up and winked at Shuang'er.
So Shuang'er didn't continue, and Mo Qinghuan didn't ask either.
At this time, in the Prime Minister Gu's Mansion, Gu Qinglan was huddled in bed, still looking extremely scared.
Min Feiyan and Leng Nier came to the mansion after hearing about this. Min Feiyan sat by the bed.
"Lan'er, don't be afraid. It's okay. It's all over. Don't think too much." Min Feiyan held her hand and comforted her softly.
This little cousin had always been close to her. So seeing her like this now, even though she had been a bit disgusted with her before, all those feelings had dissipated.
Leng Nier stood by the bed, forcing a smile. "Yes, good Lan'er, don't think too much. Let bygones be bygones."
She lowered her head and bit her lips tightly, not responding to anyone.
Leng Nier and Min Feiyan glanced at each other. Min Feiyan patted the back of her hand. "Since you don't want to talk, then have a good rest. Your cousin and I will go back first."
Min Feiyan stood up and walked out. Leng Nier followed behind her.
Min Feiyan asked, "How is the Second Highness?"
Leng Nier sighed. "Since the injury is close to the heart, although he's awake now, he still can't get out of bed or move around casually. He's still in the Queen Mother's palace."
Min Feiyan took her hand and comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry. With the Queen Mother around, the people she sent will take good care of the Second Highness. As for you, recover your health as soon as possible."
Hearing Min Feiyan say this, Leng Nier's face instantly darkened.
Her voice also turned colder. "Yes, Sister - in - law, please rest assured."
Min Feiyan walked to the carriage and let go of her hand.
"Then this princess will go back first. You should also go back and rest early. You still need to take good care of yourself during the confinement period. Don't forget about it just because you didn't see the baby."
Leng Nier nodded stiffly and bowed.
Zhi'er helped Min Feiyan into the carriage. When the carriage passed by Leng Nier, Leng Nier seemed to see Min Feiyan's lips curl up.
She clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on her forehead popped out. It seemed that she suddenly realized something.
She quickly walked to the carriage and rushed towards the Qi Prince's Mansion.
After returning to the mansion, she called all the gatekeepers in front of her.
"This princess asks you, who brought the news of His Highness's injury that day?"
One of the gatekeepers stepped forward. "Replying to Your Ladyship, it was a child, about seven or eight years old."
Leng Nier squinted her eyes. "Sure enough! There must be a conspiracy behind this!"
She shook her head in disbelief. Could it really be her sister - in - law?
They had spent so many years on the mountain together!
Did Min Feiyan really kill her baby?
"Go and find that child. I must find out if it's really her!"
The gatekeeper nodded and stepped back, then led a large group of people out to look for the child.
When Gu Qing returned to the mansion, he happened to meet someone from the Yang family.
Seeing that the Yang family only sent a servant, Gu Qing snorted. "I wonder what the purpose of your coming here is?"
The servant was also a smooth - talking one. Without saying what it was about, he directly handed the letter of betrothal cancellation to Gu Qing.
"There's no need for this servant to say more about what has happened. Please hand this letter to Prime Minister Gu. Everything is clearly stated in the letter. Farewell!"
Gu Qing took the letter and glanced at it. Anger flashed in his eyes.
"This is simply outrageous! Isn't this adding insult to injury!"
He clenched the letter and walked towards Prime Minister Gu's study. When he reached the corner, he suddenly heard voices inside.
"Do you not want to help me now? Ahahaha." Prime Minister Gu looked up and laughed. "You and I have long been on the same boat. Isn't it a bit too late to draw a clear line from me now?"
