Chapter 181: Indeed Abrupt

Mu Cang does hold the military power, but how can they be sure that if they control her, they will definitely get Mu Cang's military support?

Do they have to win over Mu Cang before they dare to attack the prince?

Thinking about the Gu family starting from Gu Anxian's trouble, then trying to plot to harm her, to Prime Minister Gu's instructing his followers to impeach her as an evil spirit in the court, and then to today's Gu Heyu besieging the teahouse.

Yan Li's tolerance for the Gu family has reached its limit.

"Your Highness Prince Yu." The maid returned to the study and knelt respectfully, "Princess Nanyang said that men and women should not be intimate, and it is not in accordance with the rules to meet with a man outside the palace alone. I hope Your Highness Prince Yu will understand."

"Men and women should not be intimate?" Mu Xiuyu did not expect that he would be rejected by Yan Li, and his face sank, "She can drink tea alone with a strange man in the teahouse, but it is not in accordance with the rules for me to meet her?"

"I deserve to die." The maid knelt down and apologized in fear, "I just conveyed the princess' words."

Mu Xiuyu looked slightly angry.

He originally thought that Yan Li would meet him no matter what out of guilt, and would exchange the antidote for keeping the secret, but he didn't expect Yan Li to refuse to meet him directly.

Mu Xiuyu was annoyed, thinking of Gu Heyu who was suffering from the poison at this time, and said coldly: "Go tell her that I must see her today."

The maid responded and was about to get up and leave.

"Wait." Jiang Tingyan spoke in time, "Your Highness Prince Yu may not know that the emperor came to the Jiang family today."

Mu Xiuyu was shocked: "Did my father come?"

He was punished by his father to be confined, and tonight he heard that Heyu was poisoned and the situation was more serious, so he quietly left the palace and entered the Jiang family through the back door.

He didn't even dare to ask too much, for fear that the news would reach his father's ears and make him more guilty.

"Yes." Jiang Tingyan nodded, and then recounted what happened in the afternoon, "The man in the teahouse with Princess Nanyang is a doctor, and Yan Li invited him to diagnose the pulse of the Ninth Prince."

Mu Xiuyu's face changed slightly, and his hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.

So, the father and the ninth prince already knew that Yan Li had a secret meeting with a man outside the palace in Zhuxi Teahouse, and Yan Li was not questioned for it?

No wonder Yan Li dared to act so arrogantly, it turned out that he was confident and fearless.

Mu Xiuyu was silent for a moment, and suddenly frowned: "What's wrong with the ninth prince's body?"

"I don't know." Jiang Tingyan shook his head, "When the emperor entered the Liuli Courtyard, we were all left outside. I don't know what the emperor and the ninth prince said in the room."

Mu Xiuyu's eyes were subtle: "If the ninth prince is unwell, he should ask the imperial physician to check his pulse. Why ask an unknown doctor who he doesn't know at all?"

Jiang Tingyan nodded when he heard it: "Yes, it's very strange."

They were also puzzled. The ninth prince was of noble status, why would he allow an unknown doctor to see him?

"...Forget it." Mu Xiuyu stood up and walked out, "I will go to see Yan Li in person. I don't believe she can really hide from people." m.

Since I don't have any leverage over her and I have to ask for the antidote, I can only lower my status on my own initiative. What else can I do?

Watch He Yu suffer the pain of the poison?

Yan Li was about to get up to take a bath, but heard that King Yu had already arrived outside the courtyard.

With a look of annoyance on his face, Yan Li coldly ordered: "No guests tonight, close the courtyard door."

"Yes."

"Princess Nanyang!" Mu Xiuyu stood outside the Liuli courtyard and spoke loudly, "I am rude. I have important things to discuss with the princess in person. Please give me some face."

Yan Li paused slightly, turned around and walked out the door. When he looked up, he saw Mu Xiuyu standing not far away in a black cloak. There was only a servant holding a lantern beside him, and no one else.

From the way he was dressed, he did come quietly tonight to avoid people.

Yan Li leaned against the door frame and said indifferently: "It's so late, King Yu is indeed abrupt."
