“Yunxi, what do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say,” Gao Shixuan said, looking very confused. She even tugged at Liu Xiaolan’s sleeve nervously.

“That’s right. Yunxi, you’re looking for the mastermind of this matter, right? Why are you asking Shixuan about it?” Liu Xiaolan asked.

At this moment…

“Princess Consort, we’re back.”

Qian Qing and Luo Xiuran walked in at this time. They were panting slightly, and their expressions were solemn. Clearly, they had hurried here. After all, they were afraid that they would be too late.

Yu Yunxi asked, “Did you bring the things I told you to bring?”

“Yes, we brought them all.”

Luo Xiuran hurriedly brought a medicine bag out and handed it to Yu Yunxi.

After that, Yu Yunxi looked at Gao Shixuan icily and asked, “Sister Shixuan, don’t you find this medicine bag a little familiar?”

“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Gao Shixuan continued to deny.

“It’s fine if you don’t admit it,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile. Then, she walked over to Qian Mei and held the medicine bag out.

Before Yu Yunxi could say anything, Qian Mei said in shock, “Princess Consort, this medicinal smell is very familiar! It’s similar to the medicine that Miss Gao asked me to brew. She said that Zixiu needs to drink it for his cold.’

Yu Yunxi said in a grave tone, “Indeed. This is the medicine she asked you to brew. However, it’s not for treating colds.”

Yu Yunxi placed the medicine bag in front of the imperial doctors before she said, “Everyone, please take a look at what this medicine is used for.”

The imperial doctors now had a high regard for Yu Yunxi. When they heard her words, they quickly stepped forward to look at the medicine bag.

“Nonsense! How can this be used to treat colds? There’s a type of hallucinogenic herb in it!”

“That’s right. I can smell that hallucinogenic herb. It’s a forbidden herb in Tianxia, right?”

“Yes, it’s a forbidden herb. Princess Consort, where did this herb come from?” The imperial doctors looked at Yu Yunxi anxiously.

“Well, I don’t know where the herb came from, but Sister Shixuan should be able to answer our question. After all, she gave it to Qian Mei to brew medicine. I found the dregs of this herb in the flower pot in her courtyard as well…” Yu Yunxi said sharply.

An imperial doctor said, “The smell of the herb can confuse people and make them lose their memory without losing consciousness. It’s really harmful!” Everyone retreated as soon as the imperial doctor finished speaking.

Even Feng Yijin and the Empress took two steps back.

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. The smell of the herb has mostly dissipated. After all, these are just the dregs. It won’t affect you even if you smell it. However, it was different for Qian Mei who was brewing the medicine. She was naturally greatly affected by it,” Yu Yunxi said. She looked at Gao Shixuan stonily before she continued to say, “When I discovered Qian Mei’s abnormal condition, I was already suspicious. Gao Shixuan, I really shouldn’t have allowed Qian Mei to brew medicine for you.”

Gao Shixuan hid behind Liu Xiaolan and said with a frown, “Yu Yunxi, I think you’re the one who inhaled the smell of the hallucinogenic herb. You’re spouting so much nonsense.”

Liu Xiaolan shielded Gao Shixuan behind him and said anxiously, defending Gao Shixuan, “Yunxi, this must be a misunderstanding. What hallucinogenic herb? It has nothing to do with Shixuan.”

Immediately after that, Feng Yili said icily, “If you can’t differentiate right from wrong again, I’ll discipline you on behalf of Master.”

Liu Xiaolan was not intimidated. He said angrily, “Eldest Senior Brother, I know you want to help your Princess Consort, but you can’t frame Shixuan!”

“Oh, it seems like I still need to show everyone the other evidence,” Yu Yunxi said with a sneer. She brought out the list of herbs that Gao Shixuan had taken from the pharmacy in the residence, saying, “This is the list of herbs she had taken from the residence’s pharmacy. It matches all the herbs in the medicine dregs. Only the hallucinogenic herb is missing from the list.”

Liu Xiaolan quickly said, “That’s right. This list of herbs is used to brew medicine for colds, right? Perhaps Qian Mei added the hallucinogenic herb when she was brewing the medicine! ”

“You brat, I really want to beat some sense into you!”

When Luo Xiuran heard Liu Xiaolan’s words, his expression darkened immediately. He even rolled his sleeves, looking as though he wanted to hit Liu Xiaolan.

‘As it turns out, love can blind a person to this extent…’

Luo Xiuran used to think that Liu Xiaolan was quite good, but now it seemed like the other party was really blind.

Yu Yunxi said, “I understand you want to protect the person you love… However, you should still have a bottom line. Imperial doctors, tell him if these herbs are used to treat colds without the hallucinogenic herb.”

“Princess Consort, not counting the hallucinogenic herb, the other herbs don’t treat colds. These herbs are clearly used to strengthen the effect of the hallucinogenic herb.”

“That’s right. The person who took these herbs clearly knows their combined effect. How evil and vicious!”

Liu Xiaolan’s heart sank when he heard the imperial doctors’ words.

Meanwhile, the gaze of Gao Shixuan, who was hiding behind Liu Xiaolan, was dark and terrifying.

‘Damn it, I was careless with the medicinal dregs! All my efforts are in vain because of this! However, I can’t admit it no matter what! Even if I can’t defeat

Yu Yunxi today, I won’t let myself be defeated!’

Gao Shixuan quickly composed herself. She continued to tug at Liu Xiaolan’s sleeve and said tearily, “Second Senior Brother, I really don’t understand what Yunxi is saying. It’s true that I went to the pharmacy and asked Qian Mei to help me brew the medicine, but I really know nothing about the hallucinogenic herb…”

“Yunxi, look, Shixuan said that…”

“Enough, I don’t want to hear it,” Yu Yunxi said, looking at Liu Xiaolan with a disappointed expression on her face. Then, she said angrily, “Let me tell you how your beloved committed a crime.”

“She used the hallucinogenic herb to confuse Qian Mei. Then, she bribed

Granny Wang to lure Qian Mei to the Empress Dowager’s side. Due to the Empress Dowager’s trust in Granny Wang, the Empress Dowager didn’t guard against Granny Wang. After attacking the Empress Dowager, Granny Wang placed the dagger in Qian Mei’s hand before she ran away. Qian Mei, who was under the influence of the hallucinogenic herb, was naturally unaware of what had happened.”

‘So that’s what happened…’

Realization dawned on everyone after they listened to Yu Yunxi’s explanation.

Gao Shixuan walked out from behind Liu Xiaolan and protested loudly, “You’re talking nonsense! I don’t even know Granny Wang!”

Gao Shixuan wiped the tears from her eyes as she continued to say, “How can you be so prejudiced against me? It’s fine if Yunxi doesn’t like me, but how can you frame me as well? I’m your junior sister! How can you allow your Princess Consort to frame me like this?”
