Chapter 91 The Prince Settles an Account
Manager Yin asked in confusion, "Yue Zhaoxun is just a concubine's daughter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, what's so special about her?"

The Crown Princess sighed, "Because she understands His Highness's thoughts. As long as she handles it in the right way, His Highness will not blame her, but will help her move up to a higher level in the East Palace."

Although no one knew what relationship Ming Zhaoyi had with His Highness, she helped elevate the Ming family's status in Jingzhou City.

"Your Highness, His Highness is not a man of long-lasting affection. You won't get far with such a small trick."

The Crown Princess touched the small golden seal beside the table and said slowly, "It doesn't matter. No matter how much they fight for it, the position of Crown Princess will never fall on their heads."

Manager Yin responded softly and continued to massage her gently with his fingertips.

Jiang Yunxuan stayed indoors for several days while Nan Zhiyu stayed on the couch, writing and drawing with a brush. Qingdai saw that all the names of the concubines in the Eastern Palace were written on the brush, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"My dear, don't worry too much. Master Feng once said that extreme wisdom will lead to harm."

Nan Zhiyu put down the brush in her hand and turned to look at her. "This time, the mastermind wanted to put me to death, but I couldn't find any clues. Do you think I would allow such a potential threat to continue to exist?"

A strong murderous intent flashed in those clear black and white eyes. Qingdai was secretly shocked. She had accidentally run into those people who bullied them in the village and died miserably.

I haven't seen such a pair of cold eyes for a long time.

"But didn't the master say that night that Shuanghan already had the answer?" Lian Yue came in with a pot of brewed tea and poured a cup in front of Nan Zhiyu.

Nan Zhiyu's murderous intent quietly dissipated, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them, "You don't think the murderer is the Crown Princess, do you?"

Qingdai and Lianyue said in unison: "Isn't it?"

Nan Zhiyu looked at the two of them as if they were idiots, spread her hands, and said with a smile: "I never said that."

Lian Yue helped her refill the teacup with water. "Then, Master, can you tell us who is behind this? So that we can know the number and be prepared?"

Nan Zhiyu put down the teacup and raised her hand to knock on the table. The two of them quickly leaned over and listened, only to hear a few murmurs.

After knowing the answer, Lian Yue frowned slightly. She suddenly felt that according to the special care given by His Highness and Concubine Ming, it might not be possible to give justice to the young lady.

Nan Zhiyu seemed to know what Lian Yue was thinking, and said seriously: "In your Highness's eyes, justice is worthless. How can it be as important as a beautiful woman's tears?"

After nightfall, Fukutake came back panting after finding out the news.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince entered Hexiang Garden tonight, and it is said that he brought many rewards to Ming Zhaoyi."

Nan Zhiyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Sure enough, it's just as I expected."

The protection His Highness talks about is just this.

As for the Hexiang Garden, which was the envy of the entire Eastern Palace, Ming Zhaoyi waved the round fan in her hand and gritted her teeth and said, "Only one step away, only one step away. Nan Mingzhu will be poisoned to death, and Nan Zhiyu will become the target of public criticism."

Xiang Heng stood aside, rubbing her shoulders with moderate strength, "Master, no one would have thought that Yue Zhaoxun knows medical skills!"

The more Ming Zhaoyi thought about it, the angrier she became. She slammed the round fan in her hand to the ground, the jade handle shattered and the soft silk surface was accidentally scratched.

"If not for this, how could Nan Mingzhu have escaped death? That slut even wanted to turn against us, but luckily she was caught by Nanny Fang."

She never imagined that a little concubine's daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion would be the biggest variable in the entire Eastern Palace.

When it comes to her, everything becomes 50-50, a mixture of good and bad.

Xiang Heng heard the noise outside and was a little flustered. He grabbed her hand and calmly said, "My Lord, if His Highness asks, you should say that this was all done by me alone and it has nothing to do with you." Ming Zhaoyi looked up at her, quickly withdrew her hand, and said firmly, "Your Highness will never touch me for such a small matter."

He had saved his life at great pains.

Xiang Heng looked at her with worried eyes, "Master..."

Even if the prince won't really do anything to you, can the affection we have for each other over the years really withstand such a erosion?

The time the prince came at night was no different from usual, but Xiang Heng felt anger from his Royal Highness the Prince.

Ming Zhaoyi pretended not to see it and smiled brightly at the prince, "Your Highness, why did you come to my place today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing. Although the handkerchief was well hidden, he could still see the blood on it.

Wei Qingye poured her a cup of tea and said in a cold voice, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"I have a lot to say to Your Highness every day, but Your Highness is busy with government affairs and has no time to care about me." Ming Zhaoyi smiled, "I am worried that I will forget it over time, so I always write it down on a piece of letter paper, thinking that one day Your Highness will have time to open it and read it together with me."

Ming Zhaoyi's voice sounded very pleasant, and Wei Qingye just looked at her quietly.

He knew best why Concubine Ming had always been in poor health and had to take medicine every day.

When he was young, he was returning from an experience trip when he was ambushed. Almost all the secret guards protecting him were killed. He jumped into the waterfall to survive.

When he woke up, he found that the little girl was carrying him step by step out of the mountain. Finally, the two were rescued by the secret guards who were sent to find him.

She already had some deficiencies, and after this incident, she became even weaker and frailer. She could only recuperate but could not recover.

Because of the guilt he felt for her, he had taken special care of her over the years, treating her with better food, clothing, housing and transportation than others, and was even more indulgent when they were together, even in the Ming family.

But all of this was because of the life-saving grace he had shown her. He didn't want this pure favor to be used as a trump card for her to play tricks in the harem without regard for the consequences.

Wei Qingye's sharp eyes fell on her face, "Ming Zhaoyi, do you really think that I don't know anything and come here to question you?"

Ming Zhaoyi stared at him with eyes that were gradually turning red. "Your Highness, what do you mean by saying this? I don't understand at all."

"You are still here pretending to be stupid in front of me. Wasn't it you who instructed Doctor Zhao, the doctor who treated Yue Zhaoxun, to prescribe medicine that is incompatible with the wound medicine?"

The look in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes when he looked at her was covered with frost and was bone-chillingly cold.

Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had always been kind to her, so much so that Ming Zhaoyi almost forgot that he was the crown prince of Southern Qin, the master of the Eastern Palace, and the future emperor.

"Your Highness, what you are talking about is not because of Yue Zhaoxun, because she is slandering me here with empty words?"

The murder of Yue Zhaoxun in the rockery was not her doing at all. In the end, the case could only be concluded with Concubine Ye. As for Imperial Physician Zhao, that was even more nonsense.

The lives of the old man's family are in his hands, so he dare not talk nonsense.
