Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Han Family Death Row Inmate
When Feng Qing woke up again, she felt weak and powerless all over, but quickly remembered she was poisoned and slowly raised her hand to check her pulse.
The poison was actually cured, Feng Qing was greatly surprised.
Gu Worms are generally nurtured by Poisonous Insect Cultivators with blood, and to neutralize Gu poison, only the blood of the Poisonous Insect Cultivator can completely cure it; otherwise, the poison can never be fully dispelled.
She thought this matter would require a great deal of effort, but to her surprise, the Gu poison was easily removed.
While Feng Qing was surprised, she felt joyful inside.
At the same time, a sense of urgency arose in her heart.
Leave, quickly leave, she feared if she stayed any longer, she would truly be finished next time.
Don’t think that after this incident with the Gu poison everything will be fine; the Little Emperor clearly intended to kill Rong Ling, and things around him will only increase rather than lessen.
She had already stepped in to save that guy three times, and going forward, she truly didn’t want to save him anymore; if she wasn’t careful, she could end up finished herself.
Moreover, being Princess Yong, if Rong Ling got into trouble, she wouldn’t be able to stay clear either, so this Prince Yong Mansion is truly not a place for people to stay.
As Feng Qing pondered these thoughts secretly in bed, Si Qi and Si Hua on one side of the room noticed she had awakened.
The two maids immediately exclaimed with joy, "Princess Consort, you are awake."
"That’s wonderful."
Just as Si Qi and Si Hua finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside, and Rong Ling, dressed in a white inner garment with slightly damp hair, entered.
Having just bathed, his cheeks bore a slight blush, and his elongated, phoenix-like eyes seemed freshly washed, clear and radiant; yet when he looked at Feng Qing, she fleetingly sensed a new color in his eyes, but upon closer inspection, found his deep, inscrutable gaze still like before, unfathomable and impenetrable.
Feng Qing, while contemplating, greeted Rong Ling, "Prince."
Rong Ling nodded, walked to the bedside, and looked down at Feng Qing.
Feng Qing appeared somewhat weak, her spirits low, giving off a languid vibe; having just detoxified, she was still not lively and vigorous.
"You’ve just detoxified; your body hasn’t recovered yet. Rest well."
Feng Qing nodded in agreement but took advantage of the moment to make a request, "Prince, I’d like to return to Purple Bamboo Pavilion to recuperate; you can have this place to yourself."
This time, Rong Ling did not make things difficult for Feng Qing, nor did he insist on her staying here.
Not only Feng Qing’s health was poor, but even his condition was also not good.
Now that Feng Qing was fine, she needed to recuperate, and he also needed some rest.
"Alright."
After agreeing, Rong Ling instructed Si Qi and Si Hua to assist Feng Qing back to the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, and told the two maids that henceforth Feng Qing’s meals should be taken from the small kitchen; if there were any issues, they should report to him at Yijing Courtyard.
Si Qi and Si Hua respectfully complied, supporting Feng Qing all the way back to Purple Bamboo Pavilion to recuperate.
Though Feng Qing was detoxified, the Poisonous Gu still left her body extremely weak, so after returning to Purple Bamboo Pavilion, she did not step out again, staying inside to recuperate.
However, though she did not leave Purple Bamboo Pavilion, it didn’t prevent her from knowing about external events.
Si Qi and Si Hua, the two senior maids, in order to keep her entertained, relayed the happenings they knew, like within the Prince Mansion, where Consort Jiang and Consort Song learned she returned to Purple Bamboo Pavilion.
Every day they thoughtfully sent soup and snacks to Yijing Courtyard to console the Prince, yet the Prince consistently refused to see them.
Additionally, Prince Mansion’s Concubine Han Ziyan was ordered by the Prince to be sent into the Ministry of Justice, which took over the case immediately and began investigating it, ultimately confirming that Concubine Han committed the deed, leading the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice to sentence Han Concubine to execution in ten days.
