When he received news that Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s people came and said that the treatment will go according to the agreed time, Meng Xiuyuan was relieved.
He was actually not so calm and indifferent as what he looked like. He waited for 23 years to get this chance to speak. But, the palace came up with such a deceitful plan, so how could he not be angry? How could he not get worried?
However, he knew very clearly, that this was part of the people in the palace’s calculations. So, if he suddenly rushed to enter the palace, he will fall into their trap. At that time, Lin Chujiu will cure his illness, but their Meng Family will owe the emperor. And Lin Chujiu will owe them as her life-saving grace.
Calculating it, he and Lin Chujiu both lost, only the people in the palace gained something, but… …
Fortunately, Xiao w.a.n.gfu was not vegetarian. Under the eyes of the emperor, they brought Xiao w.a.n.gfei out of the prison. The Xiao w.a.n.gfu was really unfathomable.
Meng Xiuyuan’s finger unconsciously wrote the word “Jiu” on the table, and his black eyes flashed with unknown meaning.

After Lin Chujiu was imprisoned in the palace prison, the emperor and the empress didn’t care about her anymore. In their eyes, Lin Chujiu was only a woman even if she has medical skills. She has no ability to get out of the palace prison. They only need to watch the event outside, to not let any Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s people save Lin Chujiu.
Besides, Lin Chujiu was still not clear of her crimes. If she escaped, she will only add sins to herself. The Emperor and the Empress don’t think that Lin Chujiu would be so stupid to endanger herself for the sake of Meng Family.
The palace was peaceful, everyone was just doing their job in an orderly manner. The chaos in Luanfeng Hall also ended as soon as the poison was cleared in the seventh prince’s body.
The Emperor accompanied the seventh prince for one night and just left when the morning came. When the emperor left, it didn’t take long for the seventh prince to wake up.
Or more likely, the Seven Prince has long been awake but pretended to be sleeping until the emperor left. When he sensed there were no other people, he opened his eyes.
“Imperial mother… …” The Seventh Prince, who was lying in the bed faintly said. When the Empress heard of this, she rushed to the bed and held the hand of her son. She said while choking: “Little Seven, you finally woke up, you scared mother.” The Empress never thought to use the Seventh Prince to make calculations at Lin Chujiu. Her original plan was to use the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, she was robbed first.
“Imperial mother, I am fine.” Although the Seven Prince woke up, he was still feeling weak. He wanted to wipe the tears of his mother, but he could only comfort her with words: “Imperial Aunt save me, she detoxify the poison.”
“Chujiu saved you?” When the Empress heard this, her face slightly changed.
The Seventh Prince nodded her head, then asked: “Imperial mother, did something happened to Imperial Aunt?”
“Yes,” The Empress was quite feeling uncomfortable, but she didn’t conceal things to the Seventh Prince: “She was imprisoned by your imperial father for poisoning you.”
“Imperial Mother, Imperial Aunt saved little seven.” The Seventh Prince frowned his eyebrows and he felt guilty inside his heart.
In the end, he was still a child, the conscience in his heart hasn’t completely eradicated.
The Empress embarra.s.singly said: “Imperial mother knows, you don’t have to worry. Imperial mother will deal with this matter. Your father will not embarra.s.s Lin Chujiu, he will let her out after 3 or 5 days.”
What they actually want is for the Meng Family to bow down their heads and promise a few conditions to the East before they let Lin Chujiu to cure Meng Xiuyuan.
The Seven Prince didn’t believe his mother, he only stared at her face. He only moved his eyes, when the Empress repeatedly nodded her head: “Imperial Mother, I’m tired.” His heart also felt tired.
Lin Chujiu has always been good to him. If it weren’t for his mother’s illness, he really doesn’t want to approach her.
“Good boy, just rest, mother will stay here to accompany you.” The Empress caressed the forehead of the seventh prince, and stick her cheek to his face while trying hard not to let her tears fall.
How cruel of heaven to treat them, mother and child like this.
After the Seventh Prince fell asleep, the empress slightly cleaned up herself. When she regained her usual elegance and grace, she went to the side chamber with the help of the Old Mama.
In there, there were dozen of people. These people were all palace maids in Mo Yuer’s courtyard. Whether they were involved or not, the Empress tied them up.

Not long after Lin Chujiu got inside the carriage, she arrived at the agreed place where she will cure Meng Xiuyuan.
It can be seen, that the agreed place was a new wooden house. The new wooden house only has three rooms. But it was circled with very tall stone walls. They can’t see anything outside.
When the Shadow Guard showed his token, someone opened the gate and let their carriage go inside.
In a closer look, people will find the yard very clean. There were no flowers or plants. The courtyard was covered with wooden flooring, which made it looked extremely luxurious.
In addition, the courtyard has no threshold. Even outside the three rooms in the house has no threshold. It was very convenient for the carriage to get in and out.

Lin Chujiu got off the carriage, and Meng Daren came out and personally greet Lin Chujiu as soon as he received the news: “Xiao w.a.n.gfei is really a trustworthy person. Yesterday, when I received the news from the palace. This old man is very worried that w.a.n.gfei cannot come.”
“I made a promised to Meng Daren, naturally I will do it.” Lin Chujiu smile and calmly said. She looked completely unaffected with the current event in the palace.
While she was still inside the carriage before, she received news from Xiao w.a.n.gfu that they found out the person who put the poison and slandered the Seventh Prince. And also, tried to put the blame on her. There is conclusive evidence at hand, they were just waiting for her to return.
“Xiao w.a.n.gfei not only have high medical skills but also has high medical ethics. This old man can’t but truly admire.” If he was only thankful to Lin Chujiu by seventh points before, now he was completely thankful.
Lin Chujiu will cure his son but only asked for a medical fee. She didn’t ask for help in the name of the Meng Family. Their Meng Family, although their heart was full of doubts, Lin Chujiu kept her heart clear.
Obviously, knowing the current situation in the capital was not good for her, her best s.h.i.+eld will be their Meng Family. However, she didn’t use them, she even came to the agreed time of treatment, which made them really admire her.
Although there was no difference between early treatment and late treatment, for them, another day is a torment. Lin Chujiu completely stood in their position and considered their thoughts. So, how can they not felt move?
Yesterday, the palace went imprisoned Lin Chujiu for her crime, but people with discerning eyes could see that the emperor and empress only intend to make connections with the Meng Family. The event completely has no connection to her, the real goal was their Meng Family, but… …
Lin Chujiu didn’t sit idly and drag them to the incident. So how can they not feel grateful to her?
Their Meng family cannot be swayed easily by the kindness of people. But with aLin Chujiu’s kindness to them, they will never forget.
Meng Daren didn’t say any sweet words to Lin Chujiu, he only shared the sentiments in his mind. After the pleasantries, he led Lin Chujiu to the room.
Lin Chujiu and Meng Family’s meeting went smooth, seemingly didn’t wake up any storm, but in reality, it was only calm after the storm.
Lin Chujiu’s whereabouts were kept in the utmost secret. The spy in the palace didn’t know that she had left, but… …
Every move of the Meng family was under the supervision of the emperor. When the emperor learned that the Meng Family left the capital, he couldn’t help but frown, he immediately ordered someone to go to the prison and check Lin Chujiu… …
