Chapter 328: Princess, Control Your Anger

When it happened for the eighth time, the Mu Clan Elder ran out from his courtyard and headed straight to the Gather Good Fortune Building, where Princess Xiaoyue and the others were dining.

The atmosphere was lively, with performances of song and dance at the Gather Good Fortune Building.

Xiaoyue had invited everyone to a meal, so they ate leisurely and joyfully, savoring the food and enjoying the conversation.

Soon, they received a report that the Mu Clan Elder was kneeling outside.

"This Mu Clan Elder was quite arrogant in the grand hall of the Five Elements Clan, wasn't he? What is he doing now?" Princess Xiaoyue, holding the sleeping Baby Ruo Xi, got up and walked to the entrance of the restaurant, looking down to see a man kneeling.

The city of Chizhou was quite prosperous by local standards. Although the townsfolk were impoverished, it seemed that as long as the inner clan members of the Five Elements Clan were well-off, they didn't care much about outsiders.

A crowd had gathered on the street, watching the kneeling clan elder and whispering among themselves.

"Oh dear, what is this Mu Clan Elder up to? What is he doing?"

"It's said that the young lady offended the princess and ended up injured!"

"My goodness, has the princess come to the Five Elements Clan for revenge?"

Everyone had heard about the incident in Yunzhou city, where numerous Black Otters were found in the water, and many young ladies had died.

The deaths of those women, when news reached Chizhou, became rumors that the princess was responsible. Thus, they were quite wary of this Princess Royal.

Added to this was the punch at the city gate earlier, which had really scared everyone.

The Princess Royal's entourage was truly formidable.

The Princess Royal had fought her way all the way from the Imperial City!

Xiaoyue glanced behind her, and both Wen Xu and Imperial Tutor Ci Xin walked downstairs together.

"I feel that Ci Xin is actually very good to Wen," Red Plum said to Yuan Hui.

Ever since she had been with Yuan Hui, Red Plum had become notably more talkative.

"Aren't these two supposed to be love rivals? How come they feel like a couple to me!" Yuan Hui said.

"I think so too!" Red Plum nodded.

"You two, stop imagining things. They are just fine together," Nanny Gui came up, took Baby Ruo Xi from Princess Xiaoyue's arms, and said, "Princess, you should go down and take a look as well. The Five Elements Clan won't be easy to handle!"

"It's all about Lan Yingying. She poisoned herself; even a divine being would be unable to save her!" Princess Xiaoyue said calmly.

"The Five Elements Clan did something themselves but blamed the princess. It's truly detestable. However, Your Highness, we can expose this matter in front of the townsfolk and clarify things. This will also test the townsfolk."

Nanny Gui spoke slowly, but what she said made sense.

Thus, Princess Xiaoyue also slowly went downstairs.

Downstairs, Ci Xin stood with his arms crossed, while Wen Xu stood with one hand behind his back.

"I beg the Imperial Tutor and Imperial Doctor Wen to save my daughter!"

Wen Xu glanced at Ci Xin and after a long while, said, "It has already been said that this poison is from your own family. If there is no antidote, I'm afraid we will be powerless. After all, the Five Elements Clan is very formidable, and we are afraid!"

Ci Xin couldn't help but suppress a smile.

"Imperial Doctor Wen, your mouth is sharper than I imagined!" Ci Xin said.

"Imperial Doctor Wen, I know that my daughter shouldn't have pursued you, but back then, you and Yingying were very close. You studied together and even visited our Five Elements Clan. Now, my daughter has been poisoned. If you treat her, there might still be a chance for her to get better. Please, I beg you!" The Mu Clan Elder kept bowing and pleading.

Xiaoyue descended the stairs and stood behind, watching a group of people surrounding Wen Xu and Ci Xin.

"Did you come here with Lan Yingying?" Ci Xin asked.

"I came to collect herbs. On the Five Elements Clan's mountain, there are medicinal herbs. I gathered the herbs and left soon after!" Wen Xu said.

"So, you and Lan Yingying don't have any relationship?" Ci Xin asked.

"Yes, we don't have any relationship. We just studied together back in the Medicine King Valley. Later, I came to Chizhou for three days and then returned. We've always had no connection!" Wen Xu said indifferently.

"Oh, it's good that there's no relationship!" Ci Xin turned to look behind and said with a smile, "I was thinking, if there was a relationship, we wouldn't be waiting until today. You'd probably have three to five children by now!"

"Seven years!" Wen Xu said.

"If you don't say anything, no one will think you're mute!" Wen Xu gave this person a sideways glance.

"Imperial Doctor Wen, Imperial Tutor Ci Xin, please! Princess Royal, please! Let Imperial Doctor Wen treat Yingying. She's really dying. She was wrong to offend you, she shouldn't have!" The Mu Clan Elder saw Xiaoyue and immediately rushed over, kneeling in front of her, crying and shouting.

The Ruo Xi Baby woke up and was a bit upset. She furrowed her brows and said, "Mother, ask clearly what this old fool is saying. Is he tired of living?"

Hearing the baby's thoughts, Xiaoyue chuckled and walked forward.

"The Mu Clan Elder is asking me to forgive Lan Yingying. What did she do to me? Or made any mistakes? The Thirteen Soul has no cure, Lan Yingying herself said so. So, are you asking us to take responsibility or compensate her?" Xiaoyue asked.

"Princess, please calm your anger. This old man is just too anxious and misspoke. Please save my daughter. She's still a child!" The Mu Clan Elder quickly corrected himself and said.

"Your daughter? She poisoned herself and now you want me to save her. Why should I?" Xiaoyue asked.

Outside, the townsfolk began to whisper.

"That's true. Lan Yingying has always been arrogant and fierce. Her temper is notorious!"

"Exactly, that's why she hasn't been betrothed yet. It's all because of her temperament. So, this time, she ran into trouble with the Princess!"

"She's just inexperienced and hasn't seen the world, that's why she's so ignorant!"

"Princess, please save my daughter! Please save her!" The Mu Clan Elder didn't know what else to say. He kept bowing and pleading.

"I don't know medical arts, and even Imperial Doctor Wen probably doesn't have the ability to neutralize the poison. Lan Yingying is an expert in alchemy and poison. Not just anyone can handle her poison. So... Mu Clan Elder, once she wakes up this time, you should teach her properly how to be a good person!" Xiaoyue said.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely teach her properly. Princess, please have Imperial Doctor Wen give her a needle to relieve her pain!" The Mu Clan Elder continued to plead.
