Chapter 132 Yu Yuexi escaped another disaster
"How can this be?"
Cui'e blurted out.
Doctor Liu ignored Cui'e and bowed respectfully to Gu Shi. "If Your Highness trusts me, I still have the prescription I wrote for the princess, and I've also deduced the general formula from the remaining medicine in that bowl. Later, you can have your servants prepare the herbs according to the two prescriptions and boil another one. Once the colors of the two medicines are compared, the truth will naturally be revealed."
Seeing Cui'e still hesitant, Gu Shi said impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you just do what Doctor Liu said?"
Cui'e originally wanted to look at Su Liuxi and do what Su Liuxi said, but when she saw Gu Shi's face dark, she didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly retreated.
The servants were very fast.
Two servings of medicine were quickly served.
Gu Shi immediately went forward to check.
"It's just as Doctor Liu said, the color is completely different."
Doctor Liu looked at another bowl of medicine with a serious expression, "This prescription also contains coptis root and deer antler glue..."
"Is there any problem?" Gu Shi looked at Doctor Liu in confusion.
"Coptis chinensis is cold in nature. Together with Rehmannia root, it can expel blood toxins and clear internal heat. Deer antler glue can promote muscle growth. To me, this looks like the prescription that Doctor You prescribed for Miss Yue. How did it suddenly appear here?"
Hearing what Doctor Liu said, Gu Shi's eyes, as sharp as a knife, shot towards the old woman who was in charge of decocting and delivering the medicine.
The old woman looked to be in her early fifties, with a thin build and a pair of small eyes that revealed an unconcealable shrewdness.
Under Gu Shi's gaze, she finally couldn't stand the pressure emanating from her master and fell to her knees with a plop.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I really don't know what happened..."
I had heard in the kitchen that the princess had a red spot because she ate something wrong.
The prince did not send anyone to arrest her, so she still held on to hope.
Who could have thought that her master would attack her before she even had the chance to retreat?
When Chen Shiliu heard this, he felt that something was wrong. He was about to step forward to stop the old woman from speaking, but Gu Shi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, stood in front of him.
"If you are willing to confess honestly now, I can spare your life, otherwise..."
There was no emotion in his tone, and the old woman was already frightened out of her wits and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, spare my life, this old slave says, this old slave says...
It was... it was Xiaohong, Miss Yueyue's servant, who asked me to help boil some medicine. They even gave me a pair of silver bracelets. I was greedy and obsessed with money. I thought it was just a prescription. I didn't expect Xiaohong to take the wrong medicine. I begged Your Majesty to spare my life."
After hearing what the old woman said, Gu Shi's face was as dark as water. "Drag this old woman away and bring Yu Yuexi here."
The layout of Prince Rong's Mansion is different from that of ordinary mansions.
Except for the guest and cold courtyards, almost every courtyard has its own small kitchen. Apart from family banquets, daily meals, decoctions and soups can basically be prepared independently in each courtyard.
Not to mention that the main courtyard is some distance away from Luoxia Garden.
Normal people will not seek far away from the near...
Su Liuxi had obviously guessed what Gu Shi was thinking. She didn't care whether to be on guard or not. She lifted the bed curtain and lay down on the edge of the bed, eager to defend Yu Yuexi.
"Brother Gu Shi, this has nothing to do with Yueyue. I...I saw my sister. She was the one who drugged me..."
In a hurry, she even spoke with tears in her voice.
Gu Shi's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you telling the truth? Did Shen come here?"
His question seemed to be directed at Su Liuxi, but his eyes were actually on Cui'e.
Cui'e shuddered and glanced at Doctor Liu, who was also wiping the sweat off his forehead...
"What do you think Doctor Liu is doing?"
As soon as Gu Shi opened his mouth, Cui'e completely gave up struggling.
"The princess has been having nightmares ever since the maid who cleaned up her mess left yesterday. She just said she saw... Madam Shen... and said she was... Madam Shen... coming back to take her life."
After saying that, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Liuxi.
"No, I'm not dreaming, this is real..."
Seeing Su Liuxi trying to get out of bed in a hurry, Gu Shi immediately stepped forward to stop her, "You are not in good health yet, lie down in bed first."
Su Liuxi took advantage of the situation and tightly grasped Gu Shi's hand. "Brother Gu Shi, please believe me, this is true. I'm sure my sister just left."
If Gu Shi had not just gone to Yueya Lane in person to pick up Shen Muxi and take her to Bishuiyuan to visit Gu Xiaoxiao, he would have almost believed what Su Liuxi said.
"At this time, you are still protecting Yueyue, that rebellious girl?"
He looked at Su Liuxi with disappointment. "First, she allowed the vicious dog to bite people, then she pushed you down, causing your miscarriage. Now, she has even had her servants replace your medicine, harming your body. If I wanted to investigate each of these things, the truth would be laid out before you at any time. I don't want to investigate because I still want to preserve our 'father-daughter' relationship."
As he spoke, Gu Shi had already broken free from the hand that Su Liuxi was holding tightly.
"Brother Gu Shi, how can you say that about Yueyue? She is my daughter. Can't you give her a chance to explain herself?"
She cried miserably and did not avoid the servants who were serving her.
Shen Muxi, who had disguised himself and was hiding in the crowd outside, holding an empty bowl, listened to Su Liuxi questioning Gu Shi with a cold look.
When she heard Su Liuxi shout out the word "defense" as a matter of course, she curled the corners of her mouth in sarcasm.
When you slandered Xiaoxiao, you didn't even give her a chance to defend herself...
Her fingers holding the tray curled slightly, and the empty bowl swayed on the tray.
"what happened to you?"
The little maid standing beside her pushed her gently.
Shen Muxi quickly hid the expression on her face, "Nothing, I just feel that the princess is so pitiful."
Her eyes were red at just the right moment, and she was about to cry but not cry.
The little maid sighed and whispered a reminder, "Well, it can only be said that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Miss Yueyue is not a good person either. As servants, we should just watch the fun and don't say anything."
Shen Muxi agreed to the little maid's words.
"Alright, everyone, get back to your work. Keep your mouths shut about what happened today. If you let even a single word out, you'll be in for a rough patch."
Cui'e's voice came from a distance.
A hint of unwillingness flashed across Shen Muxi's eyes.
It seems that the two have reached an agreement, and Yu Yuexi has escaped again.
However, this was also expected. Shen Muxi had been disappointed many times, so she got used to it.
Fortunately, after all the commotion these past few days, it was only a matter of time before Gu Shi distanced himself from Su Liuxi and her daughter.
The purpose is achieved.
After Shen Muxi left with the other servants, he quickly returned to the woodshed, changed his clothes with a maid who had been waiting there for a long time, put on his own clothes, and returned to Bishuiyuan.
Seeing Shen Muxi coming back, He Yue looked behind Shen Muxi vigilantly and listened carefully to the movements around her. Only after making sure that no one was following her did she feel at ease to leave the mother and daughter alone.
Seeing Shen Muxi, Gu Xiaoxiao's little face was filled with a happy smile, and she ran to Shen Muxi.
"Mom, Xiaoxiao misses you so much."
Shen Muxi hugged his daughter, raised his hand to scratch Gu Xiaoxiao's nose, and smiled lovingly and dotingly.
"Have you been listening to Sister Yue these days?"
