The carriage was going farther and farther away.

Yan Li couldn't hear the chaos in the teahouse.

Ming Qi sat in front of the carriage and said, "The Ninth Prince of Mu State has a strong deterrent power. Telling his name can save a lot of trouble."

Yan Li was leaning in the carriage thinking, and raised his eyes to look at him.

There was a curtain between them, so he couldn't see anything.

But Yan Li nodded, "Mu Cang's name is really useful."

Ming Qi was a little melancholy: "If the prince recovers his identity, his name will be a hundred times more useful than the Ninth Prince of Mu State."

His Majesty is the brilliant empress of the Southern Kingdom. Before ascending the throne, she was a princess who was both civil and military, and she was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, poison, martial arts, and Qimen Dunjia.

Who of her companions who grew up with her since childhood didn't admire her?

The nobles and ladies of the Mu family all targeted her, and they felt extremely honored to have a chance to talk to the princess.

Unexpectedly...

Such a gorgeous and charming empress was actually plotted by the one she trusted, and fell into the gutter, falling into the hands of an orphan girl from the Mu Kingdom, and being oppressed and targeted by some unsophisticated Mu family women.

Fortunately, the Emperor of Mu Kingdom and the Ninth Prince protected him, and His Majesty was not hurt.

Otherwise, the Southern Kingdom Iron Cavalry would have trampled through the territory of the Mu Kingdom and destroyed those Mu families without any education and virtue.

The carriage was not moving fast, and the two chatted for a few words while walking. Mingqi's voice was low, and only Yan Li in the carriage could hear it.

"What you said is true, but the incident did happen, and we have to accept it."

Yan Li's tone was leisurely, and he didn't seem dissatisfied with his current helpless situation. "If I speak in my former identity, I'm afraid I will be burned to death as an evil spirit."

Even if I'm not burned to death, it will cause some speculations that will confuse the public. Not only will the Mu Kingdom be rumored, but other countries will also look at it sideways.

Of course, the troubles that follow are bound to be unavoidable.

So now she can only and must live in Yan Li's former identity and wait patiently for the day when the opportunity comes.

Ming Qi hummed: "I understand."

Today's conversation was interrupted in the middle, and it is obviously inappropriate to find another person to continue.

Mingqi said, "I will send you back to the Jiang family first, and then find a place to stay. We will talk about other things tomorrow."

"Well." Yan Li leaned against the carriage and nodded casually, "Don't worry about my relationship with the Ninth Prince. I have my own plans."

Mingqi hesitated and thought, "Please think twice."

Yan Li lowered her eyes silently.

She didn't say that if she could cut off the relationship without hesitation, then after learning that Mu Cang was poisoned, she really couldn't make the decision to cancel the engagement.

Such a noble and strong man, Yan Li really didn't want him to suffer from the poison.

Especially the mother-child poison.

Yan Li thought silently, this matter is not unsolvable, but there may be some obstacles in solving it.

Besides, it is very likely to break her principles.

The carriage arrived outside the Jiang family's gate.

Mingqi got off the carriage and watched Yan Li come out of the carriage. He carefully looked at this beautiful face of a young girl and smiled in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you picked up a few years for nothing. A 20-year-old girl turned into a 14-year-old girl in an instant, taking advantage of her age."

Yan Li raised her hand and stroked her face: "Too young and immature, it will damage my dignity."

"No." Mingqi chuckled and then left, "I will find a place to stay first. If your majesty has any instructions, let Tianshu send a message to me."

Yan Li nodded.

Mingqi quickly turned around and left. His back was slender and elegant. He didn't look like the genius doctor who poisoned Gu Heyu casually, causing him to live a life worse than death.

The coachman of the Jiang family came out and drove the carriage away.

Recently, it was common for Yan Li to go in and out of the Jiang family every day. No one questioned her, no one stopped her. Even the Jiang family members did not dare to make trouble after they suffered several losses.

Yan Li's life became more and more comfortable.

After Tianshu Si came, she became more comfortable. She was so comfortable that when she had nothing to do, she could not only exercise as usual, but also let Tianshu Si check the news outside at any time.

So Yan Li soon learned that after Gu Heyu was sent back to the Xiangfu, the Gu family was in chaos.

When Prime Minister Gu saw his son's painful appearance after being poisoned, he was shocked and angry, and shouted at him to invite the best wives in the whole imperial city.

Unfortunately, Mingqi did not exaggerate at all.

The poison he used on Gu Heyu was indeed newly developed. It didn't matter whether it had a name or not. It was really not that easy to detoxify.

Even if all the most skilled doctors in the imperial city were invited, none of them could diagnose what poison Gu Heyu had.

In desperation, Prime Minister Gu could only go to the palace to ask the emperor to ask the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to come forward.

After Emperor Zhao learned that Gu Heyu was poisoned, he slowly raised his head from a pile of memorials and frowned at Prime Minister Gu: "Heyu was poisoned?"

Prime Minister Gu knelt on the ground with a worried expression: "Yes."

Emperor Zhao asked: "Do you know who did it?"

Prime Minister Gu knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it for the time being.

He was worried that the emperor would question him or even suspect him, so he lowered his head and said, "I haven't found out yet. Several of He Yu's followers were poisoned and unconscious."

Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a deep color flashed across his eyes.

Gu He Yu was poisoned, but as a relative of the prime minister, he didn't know who poisoned him?

"Since the situation is urgent, let the imperial physician go over and take a look first." Emperor Zhao summoned Xiao Changhai and ordered, "Let the head of the Imperial Hospital send two people who are good at detoxification."

Xiao Changhai responded respectfully: "I obey your order."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Gu thanked him, "I will take my leave first."

After Prime Minister Gu left, Emperor Zhao immediately summoned the commander of the Imperial Guards, Ye Qi: "Take him to check where the eldest son of the Gu family went today, who he contacted, and why he was poisoned."

"I obey your order." Ye Qi took the order and left.
