Chapter 450 She’s talking nonsense!
It turned out that this girl was none other than Xu Yuxiu, the third daughter of Prince Ning's Mansion, whom everyone had just been talking about.
Seeing the emperor here, the three of them came up and bowed to him and greeted him.
"Qier, why is the third daughter of the Xu family with you?"
The emperor first asked his children to stand up, then he frowned and looked at Yuxiu who was still in the saluting posture, sighed, and asked everyone to stand up.
"I remember that the third daughter of the Xu family had just arrived in Beijing not long ago. How did you get to know her?"
But he did not forget that the three people who just walked over were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that Ru'er is seriously ill. The imperial physician has come to see her several times but to no avail. I am so anxious that I don't know what to do, so I came here to ask Your Majesty to think of a solution..."
There was silence at the scene, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the eldest princess' story.
According to her story, a mother couldn't bear to see her child suffer, so when she came out to ask for help, she met Prince Qi Siyuan who was coming out of the palace banquet hall.
As the two were talking, they saw Xu Yuxiu, the third daughter of the Xu family, coming over and saying that someone had splashed wine on her dress and she wanted to come over to find a place to wash it.
So Qi Siyuan told Xu Yuxiu about the child's cold and fever. Xu Yuxiu volunteered to help because she had some pills with her.
After taking the pills, the child has gotten much better. The eldest princess also knew that Yuxiu's mother, Cui, was the disciple of the famous genius doctor in the capital, so she thought of asking Cui to come over and take a good look at the child.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the three of them to appear here at this time.
But the eldest princess was not talking nonsense. When Yuxiu followed Qi Siyuan over there, she was opening the courtyard door with an anxious look on her face.
She grew up in the palace, and although she lived like an unknown person later on, she actually knew everything.
After listening to Qi Siyuan's story about Yuxiu's predicament, she decisively brought her back to her yard, and personally found her own new dress that she had not yet worn and asked her to change into it.
When Yuxiu learned that she had just gone out to seek help for her child who had a high fever, she immediately lent a helping hand.
What happened next was just as the eldest princess had told the emperor. After the child's fever subsided, he felt much better.
The emperor nodded without saying anything. At this moment, Eunuch Gui came back with his men. He came up to the emperor and whispered a few words to him.
The Xu family members present naturally heard it clearly, and it only confirmed what the eldest princess had just said.
"Everyone, get up. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Prince Ning's Mansion..."
The eldest princess's words were confirmed by Eunuch Gui, and the emperor decided not to embarrass the people in Prince Ning's Mansion anymore.
"Your Majesty, she's talking nonsense!"
At this moment, Xu Letie with a pig-head face jumped out again.
She looked at Yuxiu's dress. It was no longer the same style as the one she had spilled wine on before. It was obvious that she had changed it.
"She was clearly still in... the room when I left. How could she have gone somewhere else in the blink of an eye..."
She didn't dare to say openly that the eldest princess deliberately sided with Yuxiu, but she was really unwilling to let such a good opportunity today go to waste.
The peace talks between the two countries have reached their final stage, and it is said that the agreement will be formally signed tomorrow.
That is to say, the Beidi envoys will not stay in the Yuan Dynasty any longer, and the Seventh Prince and his entourage will soon return to Beidi.
As the newly crowned Princess Le'an, she had to go to Beidi with the Seventh Prince and others since they had said they wanted to marry.
If nothing unexpected happens, it would be very difficult for her to return to the capital city in this life.
So no matter what, she had to clean up Prince Ning's Mansion before leaving.
As long as she could weaken the arrogance of Prince Ning's Mansion, she wouldn't mind being hated by others.
"Although I grew up in the countryside, my parents taught me a lot of rules. How could I run around in a heavily guarded palace..."
Yuxiu stepped forward and bowed slightly to the emperor. After getting his tacit consent, she turned to Xu Letie and spoke.
"Today you deliberately dropped the wine jug on me, and then pretended to be kind enough to bring me here to change my clothes. You probably know the reason very well.
Although I don’t understand the twists and turns in your mind, I’m not a fool. How can I let you say whatever you want? So of course, after you left, I left immediately too…”
"Bitch! So you were just pretending to be unconscious..."
Yuxiu's words made Xu Letie's mind go blank. She had no time to hide anything and blurted out everything.
"Hehe...Your Majesty, look, she said this herself. I was a normal person. I just came in with her to change clothes. How could I suddenly faint?"
Yuxiu smiled calmly and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, please help me. If I hadn't eaten the pills at home like candy beans, I would have fainted this time. Wouldn't I be at the mercy of these people from now on?"
When they heard that she usually ate medicine pills as candy beans, they remembered that the Xu family ran a large pharmacy and Cui was of such status, so medicine pills were naturally indispensable.
"You said you left on your own. Is it true that you know?"
Xu Letie knew that she had said something wrong. Although she was angry, she didn't care anymore when she thought that she had been named Princess Le'an and would soon marry to Beidi.
Anyway, I have the support of the Seventh Prince, so even if the emperor is unhappy, he will not do anything to me.
Besides, once I have established a firm foothold in Beidi, it is possible that the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty will try to curry favor with me.
"Of course, everything I said is true. I have the Grand Princess and the Crown Prince as witnesses. Is there anyone who would question their words?"
Yuxiu was well prepared and immediately brought out the two people around her to testify.
The eldest princess and Qi Siyuan both wanted to laugh when they saw her sharp tongue.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, he nodded quickly to confirm.
"That's right. When we met, Miss Xu San came from this direction."
The eldest princess said this, and looked towards the women in Prince Ning's mansion, finally her eyes fell on Cui.
Although she didn't go out very often, she would never forget the appearance of the women in Prince Ning's Mansion.
Among all these people, only the woman named Cui looked unfamiliar.
And after all, they are mother and daughter, and there is still some resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes.
"This is Mrs. Xu, right? If it's convenient, please help me take a look at my Ru'er..."
The eldest princess took a few steps forward, looked at Cui and said:
"That child has been weak and sickly since he was young. Even though he has been fed with good soup and good medicine, he is still very weak even though he is eight years old now..."
