Chapter 116 Custody
Seeing Zhang Yu in a dilemma, Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly. "Although the intoxicating poison is not fatal if it is not severe, it will still damage the brain. I believe Aunt Xie would not want to see her son like this. When Bai Haoyun was brought back, this princess also asked Lan Xin to take a look secretly. The surface symptoms were indeed intoxicating poison, but in fact, Bai Haoyun just fell asleep and there was no sign of poisoning. However, the imperial physician in the palace insisted that he was poisoned by the intoxicating poison, and Aunt Xie's ability was obviously not enough to bribe the imperial physician. The person behind the scenes..."
Bai Chuxiao dragged out the last syllable, looking at Chu Tianyou at the top with a half-smile.
Chu Tianyou's eyelids jumped, but this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Perhaps the imperial physician's medical skills were not sophisticated enough and he made a misdiagnosis..."
Chu Tianze nodded, "Brother Royal is right, but whether he was bribed or he is not good at medicine and is talking nonsense, the doctor deserves to die. I have ordered people to capture him..."
Chu Tianyou's face froze. The Seventh Brother and Princess Changning had clearly come prepared. If he tried to exonerate Xie, who knows what else these two might get involved in... Forget it. With their two children away, it was assumed that Xie would know what to say and what not to say...
"Seventh Brother, everything is decided by Lord Zhang, who are you going to arrest?"
Chu Tianze said calmly, "I will bring the person to Lord Zhang for trial."
Seeing that the power was back in his hands, Zhang Yu said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and Prince Yan, Xie Xianglan caused trouble in the Imperial Examination Hall, framed the princess, and also disrespected the court. His crimes are extremely serious. Someone, come! Take Xie Xianglan away!"
How could he not understand what happened today? It's just that you can fight in the mansion, but you have to cause trouble in the Imperial Examination Hall and cause trouble for him, so don't blame him for being rude...
Mrs. Xie hurriedly shouted in panic, "How dare you! I am the wife of the Left Prime Minister. How dare you..."
Seeing that she was still talking nonsense, Zhang Yu was angry and said sternly, "Take her away!"
The assassination of the crown prince and the Imperial Examination Hall incident happened in the capital this year. His year-end assessment was over and he didn't care about it anymore. He didn't believe that Bai Xiang had any reason to cause trouble for him...
Mrs. Xie was still threatening to say something, but Chu Tianyou gave her a fierce look. After seeing this, Mrs. Xie did not dare to shout anymore... Her son and daughter still had to rely on Chu Tianyou, the prince, in the future...
Xie was taken away, and Chu Tianyou didn't want to stay any longer, so he snorted and left.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, "Thank you for troubling me today, Princess."
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Master Zhang is too polite. It is I who should thank you for handling the case impartially."
She was already suspicious when Xie came to her for medicine, and had sent people to monitor Xie's every move. Xie's behavior was under her control.
Since Xie and the Eastern Palace wanted to bring her to the point of seeing the officials and making her go to jail and lose her reputation, she would do as they wished. However, it was Xie who went to jail instead of her, and of course it would be impossible for her to get out after going in...
Xie was supposed to die, but she had never figured out how she should die. Now that she was going along with it, dying in prison wasn't bad...
Chu Tianze also said calmly, "Thank you, Master Zhang."
Zhang Yu immediately bowed his hands and said, "It is my duty."
Although the Bai family and the Eastern Palace have tried their best to suppress the matter, after the Autumn Examination, the wife of the Bai family, jealous of the eldest daughter of the original wife, poisoned her own child to frame the eldest daughter of the Bai family. The news that she was detained after the failure caused an uproar.
There are countless dirty things happening in the rich and powerful families, but most of them are kept behind closed doors. Not many of them are brought to the government.
In the Bai Mansion, news came that Xie was detained. Bai Linan was much calmer than everyone imagined. He just wrote a letter of divorce, claiming that there was no such vicious mistress in the Bai family.
In the main hall, the old lady frowned slightly, "Master, if Xie is really charged with such a crime, what will happen to Haoyun in the future? How will others look at him? We should find a way to get Xie out."
Although she had always disliked Mrs. Xie, she was the mother of her precious grandson after all. If Mrs. Xie was convicted, it would inevitably affect her grandson's career.
Bai Linan didn't take the old lady's worries to heart, "Mother, don't worry. Xie is not a proper mistress. Her conviction will not affect Haoyun."
Aunt Lan and Aunt Sun, who were standing below, lowered their heads. The situation in the Bai Mansion was really going to change. However, even if the Xie family fell, it would not be their turn. They still had some self-awareness.
Bai Chuxiao was a little surprised. Bai Linnan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. "Father, do you think you have already chosen a new mistress?"
After she came back, she found that the relationship between Xie and Bai Linan was not that deep. Why did Bai Linan insist on marrying Xie? It was one thing to displease his mother, but why was that person Xie? Now Bai Linan didn't care about Xie at all, which was indeed suspicious...
Bai Linan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "No, it's just that the Bai Mansion is in a mess because of Xie's management. Now it's time to find a steady and generous mistress."
The old lady did not doubt him, "What the master said is true!"
Bai Chuxiao lowered her eyes. It seemed that Bai Linan still had many secrets, and Xie must know something. She still had to go to the dungeon...
After Bai Haoyun woke up and learned that Xie was imprisoned in the dungeon, he felt as if the sky had fallen. How could this happen? He had no idea that he was poisoned. He only knew that his mother told him to remember to take half a pill after going to the Imperial Examination Hall...
"Sister, please find a way to save mom," Bai Haoyun pulled Bai Chuwan's sleeve and shook her.
Bai Chuwan sat beside Bai Haoyun's bed, with some resentment in her eyes, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already agreed to save mother, but Prince Yan and Bai Chuxiao are blocking it... Mother can't come out for a while, and even if she comes out..."
Bai Haoyun was puzzled, "What's wrong, sister? It's a good thing that mom came out..."
Bai Chuwan bit her lips slightly, "Brother Yun, father has divorced mother and no longer cares about her. Even if mother comes out..."
"How could this happen? How could my father be so cruel? I'll go find my father..." Bai Haoyun's eyes were filled with panic.
If Xie is no longer the mistress of the Zuo Xiangfu, then what is he? If his father marries someone new, will he still have a place in the Bai family?
Bai Chuwan quickly held him back, "Father has already written the divorce letter, it's too late for you to go now..."
Bai Haoyun slumped on the bed with a blank look in his eyes, "Sister, will father stop caring about us from now on?"
Bai Chuwan comforted her softly, "No, you are father's only son and the only heir to the Bai Mansion. This will never change. Sister will not let anyone take away your things. You have to cheer up... Let father see it..."
Bai Haoyun also perked up and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, sister, Haoyun will work hard."
No matter what, the grandmother still favors him as her grandson, and his sister is also the prince's concubine. With these two strong backers, even if there are other children in the Bai family in the future, I believe they will not be able to surpass him...
