Obviously, when Nanny Li came to see her just now, she didn't say much to her, so she still didn't quite understand it, but she had already guessed various possibilities in her mind.

"Your parents have been reported for poisoning your eldest brother. They are now both in the Dali Temple prison. They all said that the poison that poisoned your uncle came from you, so Aunt Gu needs to go to the Dali Temple for interrogation."

Deputy General Niu did not explain much, and made the matter clear with just one simple sentence. He waved his hand and two guards came up to tie up Gu Qiongsi and take him away.

The panic in Gu Qiongsi's eyes flashed away, and then she shouted calmly, "Stop, don't come over, I'll go with you, you don't have to do anything."

Her words also made several people stop and wait for her to follow them and leave.

Gu Qiongsi tidied up her clothes and messy hair, then looked at Li Ma with expectation, and then followed the others out of Xie Mansion without looking back.

When Vice General Niu saw them leave, he smiled and said to Shopkeeper Li and Xie Cheng'an, "Haha, the official business is done. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well wait for Imperial Physician Zhang here."

"Boom, boom," Xie Cheng'an could even hear his own heartbeat. Sweat seeped out of his forehead little by little, dripping down his cheeks and from his chin.

Shopkeeper Li was full of gratitude, "Thank you, Deputy General Niu. I would like to thank you on behalf of the boss."

After a few more polite words, Imperial Physician Zhang followed Bai Zhi out of the Chuihua Gate. Both of them looked unhappy.

"The young lady's condition has been brought under control. I will prescribe some medicine for her. She should be fine." Imperial Physician Zhang spoke, and his words put Manager Li and the others at ease.

However, his next words made everyone nervous again, "Young Madam's condition is very strange. I can't diagnose the specific cause at the moment. When we return to the palace and discuss it with a few people, we will definitely be able to get a result."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Manager Li to ask more questions, he went out with his medicine box on his back, leaving only a written prescription for Bai Zhi.

Shopkeeper Li also breathed a sigh of relief, then he bowed and said to Xie Cheng'an and Qian, "I apologize for the offense today. I hope Mr. Xie will forgive me. The boss and we have been friends for generations. I can't help but worry when I hear that her condition has worsened."

Xie Cheng'an had no choice but to return the gift politely. He dared not show any expression in front of Deputy General Niu. After a few polite words, he sent Manager Li and Deputy General Niu out.

Bai Zhi took the prescription and, without even saying goodbye to the two of them, walked out of Xie's house in a swagger and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

If Qian saw Bai Zhi acting like this under normal circumstances, she would have called her over and scolded her, but at this moment she was in no mood for that. She just pulled Xie Cheng'an and went back to Rongdeyuan.

"Ang'er, what is going on? Why is there no peace in Liuzhou?" Qian asked in fear.

The Xie family has been in a lot of trouble recently. When she gets better, it will be necessary to go to Lingyin Temple to pay her respects.

Xie Cheng'an also shook his head. He had never heard Gu Qiongsi talk about the plans in Liuzhou. He thought it must be an action between them mother and daughter.

However, with Xie Cheng'an's brain, he must have guessed some of it. Gu Qiongsi not only had her eyes on Gu Xunwei's incense recipe, but also coveted Gu's ten incense shops. She was instigating him to help her get the incense recipe, and she also asked her parents to do some tricks. Her intention was definitely to take control of Gu's incense shops.

No wonder Gu Xunwei mentioned at that time that her father was ill and wanted to return to Liuzhou, but was delayed because of the fragrance tasting competition. Later, she fell ill again and has not been able to go back to visit her father until now.

It turned out that her father was also harmed by Gu Qiongsi.

"Mother, what's happening over there has nothing to do with us. But Gu Xunwei's illness is very serious. It would be bad if Imperial Physician Zhang found out something. After all, it was Madam Li who helped them make the medicine." Xie Cheng'an was afraid that if he talked too much about Liuzhou, Qian would think too much, so he turned the topic to Gu Xunwei's illness.

Nanny Li was also frightened at this moment. The small porcelain bottle hidden in her arms was like a hot potato, and she wished she could throw it away.

"Alas, there is only one day left. It is really a pity to change the medicine like this. In my opinion, it would be better if we let her take this last day's medicine before Imperial Physician Zhang comes up with any results. Even if there are results in the future, there will be no evidence." Qian looked towards the direction of Xunxiangyuan viciously, and she had already regarded Gu Xunwei as a dead person in her heart.

Xie Chengan felt that what his mother said was right, but he was also worried that something might happen and he would be stuck in the Xie Mansion. After some hesitation, he made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's do as mother says."

Nanny Li looked terrified, but she had to do what her master had arranged, so she agreed and asked nervously, "Madam, Master, as for Aunt Gu, do you want to think of a way to rescue her?"

"What? Are you going to do things for Aunt Gu too? Is this kind of thing something a servant like you should worry about?" Qian asked back unhappily upon hearing this, causing Nanny Li to kneel on the ground in fear.

"No, madam, I am only loyal to you. It's just that when I went to Rongdeyuan to take Aunt Gu away just now, she had something for me to tell you and the young master." Nanny Li explained quickly.

"What?"

"Mrs. Gu said...she asked you to find a way to rescue her. She has a way to save the Xie Mansion now, because, because," Madam Li was afraid to say the rest of the words. Seeing Qian's impatient expression, she finally spoke boldly.

"Mrs. Gu said that she has contacted Prince An's Mansion, and the mansion has already replied to her letter. They will arrange a meeting in the next few days."

Nanny Li's words surprised Xie Cheng'an and Qian. They had no idea why Prince An was confined to the palace, but under such circumstances, Gu Qiongsi actually did what she said at the time and had been trying to get in touch with Prince An's palace. This woman was really not simple.

"What should we do? We can't even protect ourselves now, how can we rescue her?" Qian waved her hand helplessly and asked Nanny Li to stand up first.

"Mother, I have an idea. Maybe we can give it a try."

Before Xie Chengan finished speaking, Qian couldn't wait to ask, "What do you think, Brother An, tell me quickly."

At this time, Mr. Xie actually hurried in from outside the door, "Why, I heard that the Dali Temple came to our house and took Aunt Gu away?"
