Chapter 24: Volume 1, Chapter 24: He You Lan is in trouble

At this time, the Princess sat on the chair with majesty, while the men and women standing below were all silent, none daring to speak.

Just then, a doctor walked out of the inner room.

When the doctor walked out, everyone present obviously held their breath, and the atmosphere was very tense for a time.

"How is it?" Princess Xuanyuan Rao asked, her voice majestic without anger.

The doctor knelt down in horror and reported: "Princess, Princess... County Princess Ning'an, she... the subordinate is really powerless..."

"Bang!"

Xuanyuan Rao slapped the tea table, making a loud noise, which frightened everyone present and changed their faces; those with small courage even screamed in fright.

However, the loss of composure in front of the Princess made the faces of those young ladies who couldn't help but scream even paler, and they were so scared they knelt down directly.

Xuanyuan Rao only swept a cold glance at those people, and finally, her gaze fell on the doctor again, "Speak, what's going on?"

"County Princess Ning'an's body was already weak, and... and she was poisoned by Star-Lost Powder, and her body couldn't bear it, so..."

Star-Lost Powder was not a difficult poison to solve, and it was not even a fatal poison.

Ordinary people who accidentally ate it would at most fall into a coma, and then without an antidote, they would at most be confused and ill for ten days or half a month before they would be fine.

It would hurt the body, but it could be adjusted back.

However, the bad thing was that He You Lan's body was too poor, and that bit of medicinal effect was a tiger-wolf medicine for her, which made her unable to bear it, to the point where medicine was ineffective.

"Investigate!" Xuanyuan Rao gritted her teeth, a flash of severity in her eyes, "This Princess wants to see who dares to use these low-level means at this Princess's birthday banquet."

As soon as Xuanyuan Rao said this, the guards of the Princess's mansion took the order and left.

The room was even more silent, everyone fearing for themselves.

Such a thing happened at the Princess's birthday banquet, and everyone was afraid of being implicated.

However, just then, there was a "thump" sound of someone's knees hitting the ground, which was very clear in the quiet room, so that everyone's gaze fell on the source of the sound.

When they saw that the person kneeling was Yun Yarou, some were surprised and puzzled, and some frowned and thought.

Xuanyuan Rao also looked at Yun Yarou and frowned.

Yun Yarou happened to look up and meet Xuanyuan Rao's gaze, and then lowered her head in horror.

Such an appearance made people suspect it at a glance.

"You, come here!" Xuanyuan Rao said coldly.

Yun Yarou hurriedly stood up in a panic, knelt and walked forward a few steps, arriving directly in front of Xuanyuan Rao.

"Yun Yarou, do you know anything?" Xuanyuan Rao asked directly, her voice filled with majesty and pressure; this was the aura inherent in a true royal family member.

Yun Yarou felt the pressure, her hands couldn't help but clench into fists, and sweat seeped out of her back, but Yun Yarou quickly made herself calm down and said, "Please Princess, investigate clearly. Today's matter absolutely has nothing to do with my sister."

As soon as Yun Yarou said this, Xuanyuan Rao couldn't help but frown, while the others seemed to have been opened up, suddenly having inspiration.

"Princess, I feel that this matter was done by Yun Qiyue." Soon, a young lady stood out.

This person was a little follower of Yun Yarou, who usually followed Yun Yarou's lead and was also the one who spoke up for Yun Yarou the most when they entered the Princess's mansion, named Ma Yulei, whose father was a fourth-rank official.

"Yulei..."

Yun Yarou looked panicked, wanting to stop her.

Seeing this, Ma Yulei looked solemn, "Yarou, you think so much for her and treat her as a sister, but does she treat you as a sister? She didn't give you face in front of everyone, and who knows how she treats you when there's no one around? Anyway, I don't care if you're angry with me; you can shield her, but I can't!"

Xuanyuan Rao heard some clues from these words, so she asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Ma Yulei immediately said: "Princess, that He You Lan wasn't with us from the beginning, and none of us had time to be alone with her, except for Yun Qiyue, the Third Miss of the Yun family. Only she has this suspicion."

Ma Yulei said, pointing to several young ladies, "Princess can ask them."

These people were the ones who accompanied Yun Yarou to the pavilion to find Yun Qiyue, including Qin Huan.

Xuanyuan Rao then looked at Qin Huan, "You say."

Qin Huan told the story, which was the truth, without adding fuel to the fire.

"Who is Yun Qiyue?" Xuanyuan Rao swept her gaze over the crowd.

However, no one stood out.

Qin Huan then said: "Second Aunt, Yun Qiyue... didn't appear again after leaving the pavilion."

This fact, as if Yun Qiyue had fled in fear of crime, increased Yun Qiyue's suspicion.

However, at this time, Yun Yarou begged, "Princess, my sister must have been unintentional; please, Princess, spare her life."

Yun Yarou, like this, naturally won the favor of many people.

"Second Sister, do you have solid evidence to prove that I did this, so you are so anxious to plead guilty for me here?"

Just then, a cold voice came.

Then, Yun Qiyue, whom everyone thought had fled in fear of crime, appeared at the door.

Perhaps because she came too hurriedly, Yun Qiyue's breath was still slightly unstable.

When Xuanyuan Rao saw Yun Qiyue coming in against the light, she seemed to see someone through time. For a moment, there was a bit of complexity in Xuanyuan Rao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.

Unlike others who were nervous when facing Xuanyuan Rao, Yun Qiyue stepped forward and saluted Xuanyuan Rao generously, "This subject's daughter greets the Princess."

Xuanyuan Rao looked at Yun Qiyue and didn't speak for a long time.

Yun Qiyue couldn't care about so much, so she directly requested, "Please, Princess, postpone the trial of the case and allow this subject's daughter to treat County Princess Ning'an."

He You Lan was the first person to show her kindness since she came to this world, besides Qingyan and the others, and she was the person she was prepared to treat. However, she was told that she was critically ill when she completed the second task. She didn't even have time to understand the identity of the person she saved with the Rejuvenation Pill, nor did she have time to rest from the fatigue of acupuncture before rushing over, just to not miss the last time to save He You Lan.

As long as He You Lan still had a breath, it wasn't too late.

Therefore, the top priority was to save people, not anything else.

However, as soon as Yun Qiyue said this, before Xuanyuan Rao could speak, someone held an opposing opinion, "I think you are just guilty and want to delay time."

The person who said this was Tang Sixian, and his tone was obviously malicious.

Naturally, after Tang Sixian said this, many people echoed.

Facing the questioning, Yun Qiyue's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Xuanyuan Rao, "Princess, please allow this subject's daughter to treat County Princess Ning'an first."

Yun Qiyue's tone and eyes were equally firm, and there was no panic on her face.

Xuanyuan Rao looked at Yun Qiyue like this and shifted her cold gaze away.

Yun Qiyue's heart cooled, thinking Xuanyuan Rao was going to refuse, but Xuanyuan Rao asked, "What do you have to make this palace believe you can save people?"

Yun Qiyue's heart condensed upon hearing this.

She was a newcomer, and although she knew medical arts, she hadn't revealed them, so how could she make the Princess believe her?

She couldn't say she was guided by an immortal, right?

Clearly, if she said that, the Princess wouldn't believe her.

Let alone the Princess, probably not many people present would believe it.

Just when Yun Qiyue was struggling to think of a reason, a nanny walked in hurriedly.

Everyone present, except Yun Qiyue, knew who this nanny was.

The Princess's nanny, Chu Mama, the person the Princess trusted the most.

Everyone only saw that after the nanny whispered something in the Princess's ear, there was light in the Princess's eyes, and her expression was obviously a bit excited.

However, it was quickly suppressed by her. When she looked at Yun Qiyue, there was exploration, indifference, and more bottomless complexity, "You go in and save people first, we'll discuss the rest later."

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Rao's permission, Yun Qiyue didn't have time to think about the reason, hurriedly thanked her, and then ran into the inner room, not caring what others thought.

Xuanyuan Rao glanced at the doctor, and the doctor understood and followed in.

Yun Qiyue knew someone had followed, but didn't waste time. After touching He You Lan and understanding her condition, she quickly took out silver needles and set up a needle array, her movements flowing like water, which made the doctor stunned.

That needle array...

The doctor, who had originally held a dismissive attitude toward Yun Qiyue, instantly became respectful.

As time passed, Yun Qiyue's face became paler and paler, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead.

The doctor wanted to help, but had no way to start.

And at this time, Yun Qiyue suddenly took out a needle, slashed it viciously, and directly cut open the five fingers of He You Lan's left hand, blood flowing continuously.

As the blood flowed out, He You Lan's breathing obviously stabilized.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue finally pulled out all the silver needles and said to the doctor, "I'll trouble you with the rest."

She still had to go out to clear her name.

"Oh... okay..." The doctor answered subconsciously, as if he should follow Yun Qiyue's command at this time.

When Yun Qiyue came to the outer room, a young man was just supporting a middle-aged woman and rushing over.

From their eyebrows, it could be identified that these two were He You Lan's family.

"Princess, what happened to my daughter, she..." When Lady He spoke, her whole person was a bit exhausted, and she had to be supported by He Mingxuan beside her to stand firm.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Rao looked at Yun Qiyue who had just come out.

Yun Qiyue walked calmly to the crowd and said, "County Princess Ning'an is already fine."

"That's impossible!"

Before anyone else could speak, an incredulous voice came. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
