Chapter 118 Why are you still alive?
Nan Zhiyu sat on the beauty couch angrily, flipping through the medical book in her hand but unable to read a single word. She suddenly recalled the scene at the autumn banquet when Nan Mingzhu suddenly lost her temper and had a verbal dispute with Bai Liangyuan.

No matter how you look at it, this matter seems strange.

Considering the situation at the time, she was standing closest to the stairs. No matter who was pushed in anger during the quarrel, she was the one who fell down the stairs, which could result in disfigurement or even death.

If she managed to escape, she would be accused of being cruel and indifferent to someone in need, which would completely ruin her image in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she would no longer receive any favor from him.

This plan is really sinister, but it doesn't seem like something that idiot Nan Mingzhu would do.

So...who did she seek to form an alliance with?

Nan Zhiyu was in a bad mood, and her face became gloomy. "Go and call Fuzhu over."

Fu Zhu, who was waiting outside, came into the hall and bowed, "Greetings, young lady. What instructions do you have?"

Nan Zhiyu's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, her cold voice carrying the chill of the night wind, "What's going on in Yi Qiu Palace these days?"

Fu Zhu quickly said, "The people we sent to keep an eye on him said that Nan Zhaoxun has been very well behaved these past two days."

Nan Zhiyu raised the corners of her lips slightly and hooked her finger at him.

Fuzhu hesitated, but he crawled to her on his knees, "What do you want, Master?"

Nan Zhiyu pulled out a fruit knife from the fruit plate, handed it to him and said, "Xiao Fuzhu, it seems that the spy you planted in Yiqiu Palace did not tell the truth."

Fuzhu took the fruit knife and said firmly, "Don't worry, my lady. Fuzhu knows what to do."

Anyone who dares to betray will not have a good ending.

Nan Zhiyu reached out and patted his shoulder, "I don't want this to happen again."

"I understand." After saying this, Fuzhu lowered his head and retreated, with murderous intent revealed in his eyes hidden in the darkness.

When Qingdai came in, she found that something was wrong with Fuzhu. Just as she was about to speak, she met those sinister eyes. She understood instantly and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if to say, "Fuzhu, you can't do this~"

Qiu Cui gently pushed her from behind and said angrily, "Don't irritate Fuzhu. He's feeling very uncomfortable."

The East Palace is shrouded in darkness at night, like a monster with its mouth open to eat people. Even if someone dies randomly, no one will find out that they love you.

Besides, Fuzhu has already suffered a loss once, and he will definitely not cause any trouble for Nan Zhiyu again.

In the dead of night, Fuzhu quietly walked into the door of Jiangyunxuan. A figure was standing in the corridor not far away. With the swaying light, he looked a little creepy.

"Why did you come back so late?" Qingdai's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Fuzhu stared at her, "Sister Qingdai, is there something wrong?"

Qing Dai couldn't help but roll her eyes. "If I wasn't worried that you would cause trouble for the master, I wouldn't be here!"

The expression on Fuzhu's face softened. "Everything has been done. I'll trouble Sister Qingdai to keep worrying about it. It won't happen again."

"It would be better this way. The Autumn Banquet was extremely dangerous, and the young master almost died in the snake's belly.

So, I don’t want this to happen again, or I will kill you myself.”

The two men were like cold-blooded animals in a dark and damp cave, and finally revealed their vicious fangs in a corner where no one could notice them.

Nan Mingzhu, who had finally fallen asleep at night, opened her eyes and found that her bed was covered in blood. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she ran barefoot onto the cold floor. When she slipped and fell to the ground, she realized that her footsteps were also blood red.

"Ah, help! ---" Nan Mingzhu crawled to open the door, but was tripped by a cold corpse. She rolled down the stairs and fell with a bleeding head.

The little servant who was on night duty leaning against the corridor was awakened by the shrill scream. He looked in the direction of Nan Zhaoxun's finger.

The hall was covered in blood. The young eunuch's eyes were filled with horror. "This, this, this..."

Nan Mingzhu originally wanted to scold the young eunuch and call for help, but when she turned around, she found that he had fainted from fright.

"Useless thing." Nan Mingzhu kicked him angrily.

Soon this incident alarmed the entire East Palace. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were sleeping soundly in Ganlu Palace when they were awakened by the noise outside.

Wei Qingye frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "What's the noise outside?"

Chai Hui, who was standing guard outside, heard the noise coming from the palace. He secretly groaned inwardly and reported carefully, "Your Highness, Madam, there is news from Yi Qiu Palace that Nan Zhaoxun woke up in the middle of the night and found the palace full of blood. He was frightened and looked a little crazy. Hua Liangyuan has sent someone to find the imperial physician to come and treat him."

The Crown Princess sighed and said gently to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness has to attend the court meeting tomorrow, so I can go to Yiqiu Palace by myself."

The prince rubbed his brows and waved his hand at her, saying, "You're all awake now, let's go and take a look together!"

When the two of them arrived late, they found that most of the concubines in the Eastern Palace had already arrived. Nan Zhiyu was mixed in the crowd, yawning secretly.

Who would have thought that she would be caught red-handed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for just a little slacking off.

After she pretended to be fierce and scared people, she quickly lowered her head, like a cat that was caught doing something bad.

"Can anyone tell me what is going on?" The prince had an indifferent expression, staring sharply at the bloody scene in the palace.

Hua Liangyuan quickly stepped forward to explain, "Your Highness, when I heard the noise and rushed over, it was already like this."

The eunuch who fainted on the ground was awakened by a needle from the imperial physician. He looked around in a daze. Chai Hui gently kicked him and reminded him, "What are you doing? Tell me everything you know."

The young eunuch quickly told everyone what he had seen without missing a word.

Ye Jieyu stared at Nan Zhiyu intently and said sarcastically, "Before, Yue Liangdi was a great doctor and was able to bring Nan Zhaoxun back from the brink of death. So why not let Yue Liangdi cure her madness this time?"

Nan Zhiyu's eyes were filled with sneer, "Ye Jieyu, the Crown Princess and His Highness haven't spoken yet, so how can you be here to make decisions?"

Ye Jieyu wanted to open her mouth to refute, but was suppressed by a look from the Crown Princess.

"Your Highness, why don't you wait until the imperial physician finishes treating Nan Zhaoxun and ask her about what's going on?"

Everyone was waiting for Nan Mingzhu to wake up, because they were all very curious and wanted to know what had happened.

As the imperial physician pulled out the last silver needle, the unconscious Nan Zhaoxun slowly opened her eyes. When she saw so many people around her, her eyes were filled with shock.

She struggled to stand up, stumbled to Nan Zhiyu, and looked at her in disbelief, "How come you are still alive? Weren't you bitten to death by a poisonous snake?"

"Poisonous snake, where did the poisonous snake come from?" Nan Zhiyu was quick-witted and quickly followed her words and said, "Sister, did you remember it wrongly?"
