o the capital. Moreover, making a complaint beyond one's jurisdiction involved enduring various forms of torture before being accepted. So, ordinary people dared not do so.If not for a chance encounte..."Really" Shen Meihua's eyes lit up at once, and she ordered her maid to quickly invite Xiao Yuge.

But, after not long, the young woman came back alone.

Shen MeiHua looked behind her, but there was no Xiao YuGe. She couldn't help but get anxious: "Xiao Qi, where is the lord of Hu Guo"

The maidservant named Xiaoqi bowed and replied, "Master, the Honorable Lady Protector of the Country is not in her room..."

She had just finished practicing dance, she shouldn't be resting in the room right now" Shen Mei was anxious. The longer it took, the more dangerous her son became. So, she immediately sent someone to find Xiao Yuge back.

At this moment, a young girl beside them seemed to remember something: "Master Zhuang, when you say that, I seem to recall something..."

"What's the matter, hurry up and say it!" Shen Meihua was now completely focused on her son's poisoning. She had no time or energy to listen to anything else.

“Before the young master fainted, I saw Lady Protector of the Country playing with him in the garden. Not long after that, he fainted…” The maid's hesitant expression made those who heard it couldn't help but think about something else.

At this time, Xiao Yufu hurriedly came out to explain: "You guys don't guess randomly. Although Ge'er is a little willful and does use poison, she wouldn't hurt a child for no reason!"

She didn't explain it, and that was fine. But once she did, it seemed like almost everyone in the room decided Xiao Yuge was the real culprit who poisoned the young master!

"Go find her for me right now, even if it means digging three feet into the ground! I must find her!" Shen Meihua was furious. She immediately ordered someone to search for Xiao Yuge. If it was really Xiao Yuge who harmed her son, she wouldn't let her go, even in death!

"Are you, Master Shen, looking for me"

Just at this moment, Xiao Yuge stepped into the main courtyard, still holding a wooden doll with a sword in his hand.

"Guardian Princess, I was teaching you to dance and you actually tried to poison my son! If you have any grievances against me, just come at me directly. Why harm my son" As soon as she saw Xiao Yuge, Shen Meihua couldn't help herself, she almost rushed over to fight.

Xiao Yuge listened, her brows furrowed slightly, momentarily unsure of what she meant: “Master Shen, what do you mean by that” She hadn't been gone long, had something happened in the manor

"Don't play dumb here! The young master fainted after meeting you, it must be that you poisoned him!" Just then, the little girl from before rushed up and said this.

"Wan'er!" Xiao Yuge lightly raised his eyes to glance at her, then gave Lu Xiangwan a knowing look.

Lu Xiangwan stepped beside the little girl and, without a word, slapped her hard across the face: "A slave dares to slander the current Protectorate Princess! According to Lan Zhao's law, she should be punished with tongue removal!"

The little girl who had been slapped immediately turned pale at these words and hurriedly fell to her knees with a thud: “Your Highness, please spare me! This servant was just quick-witted and guessed recklessly. Please forgive this servant!”

"Speak too quickly You dare to guess wildly" Xiao Yuge let out a cold snort, glancing at her: "Just now you swore up and down that I poisoned your young master, how come it's not the case now"

"This servant just saw Young Master and you playing in the garden, then Young Master fainted. This servant, this servant..." The little girl, seeing Xiao Yuge's icy gaze, was now so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

"Master Shen, even you think it was me If so, then just report me to the authorities and have me arrested." Xiao Yuge glanced at the frail boy on the bed, knowing that if she didn't help him immediately, he might be in danger. However, before that, she had to get to the bottom of things, otherwise, even if she saved him, she would still be burdened with unfounded accusations.

Shen Mei Hua's mind was racing at this moment. She suspected Xiao Yu Ge, after all, since Xiao Yu Ge had stepped into this manor, she hadn't given Xiao Yu Ge a good look. Besides, during the practice session, she deliberately made things difficult for Xiao Yu Ge, which any observant person could see was intentional. So, Xiao Yu Ge must have resentment in her heart, that was for sure.

However, the doctor has already left. Right now, the only one who understands medicine here is Xiao Yuge alone. If they really arrest Xiao Yuge, wouldn't her son be in danger Furthermore, looking at Xiao Yuge's calm demeanor, she doesn't seem like the one who poisoned him. Could there really be some misunderstanding in this matter

Having thought of this, she immediately changed her usual demeanor, her tone becoming softer than usual: "My lady, perhaps there's been a misunderstanding. Please save my son first! I will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation."

Xiao Yu Ge looked at her, then at the child on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh. She pursed her lips and walked towards the bed. Although she had no good intentions towards Shen Mei Hua, she still couldn't bear to face the innocent little Gui Er.

She first felt Xiao Guier's pulse and then examined his condition: he was indeed poisoned, and it was a rather rare poison. She was very puzzled, what kind of person could be so cruel to give such a poisonous thing to such a young child Wasn't this clearly trying to kill him

"My Lady, how is my son" Shen Meihua beside Xiao Yuge saw that Xiao Yuge had been frowning all this time, so anxious that she wrung her hands, as if only by doing so could she ease the worry in her heart.

"Master Shen, please rest assured, although this poison is rare, I might be able to give it a try!" She didn't have absolute certainty, but she was still confident in saving the child's life.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Shen MeiHua was so excited when she heard her son still had a chance, she almost cried.

"Wan'er, bring me my medicine chest."

"Okay!"

Xiao Yuge glanced at the irrelevant people around her: "Sect Leader Shen, I need to treat the young master. It needs to be quiet. There are too many people here!"

"Get out of here all of you!" Shen Meihua immediately ordered everyone who wasn't involved to leave.

Xiao Yu Ge pointed at the young maidservant who had just falsely accused her and said, "Please, Master Shen, have her imprisoned. This county princess will personally interrogate her later!" She wasn't kind, but she wouldn't let anyone slander her without consequence.

"Jiang Qi, lock her up in the firewood house!" Shen Meihua also felt that something was amiss. So, she ordered her personal maid, Xiao Qi, to take the woman away first.

"Yes! Master!"

As Xiao Yufu was leaving, she turned her head and glanced back silently before walking away expressionlessly.

"My lady, can we begin now" Only after the maidservant had left did Shen Mei Hua urge Xiao Yu Ge.

Xiao Yu sang nodded and then opened the medicine box, arranging the rows of tiny silver needles inside.

Soon, under Xiao Yuge's skillful acupuncture treatment, Xiaoguier's face gradually regained its rosy complexion, but she remained unconscious.ry surprised. He had just quietly snuck into Chonghua Palace but didn't see Xiao Yuge, and was quite anxious. When he returned, he happened to bump into Liang Wang's men here, but he didn't expect to...
