Poison Doctor Mother Baby - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Mother, He Is So Noisy!

A high pitched voice stopped Su Yunqi in his sentence, and a eunuch walked in with some guards…

“Prince!” The eunuch, Eunuch Ma, saw Su Yunqi and greeted him.

“Eunuch Ma, you are here because?” Su Yunqi frowned and questioned.

“It is for the passing of the Crown Prince. The Emperor was furious and brought the two Ladies of Prince’s mansion for questioning. The two Ladies claimed they were innocent and confessed everything! They said that Third Miss Su Ruoxi was behind all of this! The Eldest Miss claims that she was drugged by Third Miss and was controlled by her to assassinate the Crown Prince! The imperial physicians also found drug residues in Eldest Miss’ and Second Miss’ bodies! The Emperor is furious by this and ordered me to arrest Third Miss and send her to prison!” Eunuch Ma knew Su Yunqi would ask and prepared an answer beforehand.

Su Yunqi did not expect things to turn out this way! He looked at Su Ruoxi with mixed feelings; however, there was nothing he could do when an imperial edict was involved. He sighed and stood at the side…

Su Ruoxi looked at Su Yunqi sarcastically. That was his choice? Her father was not favored; as a granddaughter, her treatment was worse…

Imperial edict? To her, it was nothing! Since she dared to take action, she wasn’t afraid of the Imperial family. She wanted to see what the Imperial family could do to her…

“Su Ruoxi, receive the imperial edict!” Eunuch Ma glanced around and announced when he saw Prince Su move aside.

“Outrageous, kneel down…”

Bam

Before the guard could finish his sentence, Mo Lian killed him!

Everyone was astonished. When Eunuch Ma returned to his senses, he trembled and spoke as though his throat rusted. “Who are you? How dare you kill an imperial guard!”

“Mother, he is so noisy!” Baby frowned and touched her ears as she stared at Eunuch Ma’s oddly white face.

“It’s okay! Now, you can’t hear him anymore!” The moment Su Ruoxi finished her sentence, everyone could see that Eunuch Ma’s mouth was still moving, but there was no sound coming out.

Su Yunqi, Lin Yue, Shen Fei, Granny Shen, and even the guards behind Eunuch Ma were looking at him bewildered…

“Eunuch Ma, why can’t we hear what you said? Don’t you have your voice anymore!” A guard realized something was wrong and reminded Eunuch Ma quietly.

Eunuch Ma was stunned. He looked at Su Ruoxi, who was grinning, and then the rest who were looking at him in bewilderment. Instantly, he felt that something was wrong…

He grabbed the guard next to him by his clothes and glared at him. “You said I lost my voice?”

“Eunuch Ma, what did you say?” The guard was shocked, and he asked Eunuch Ma.

When Eunuch Ma saw the guard’s expression, he knew he was poisoned! He glanced at Su Ruoxi timidly, he pointed around as his mouth moved. However, nobody understood him.

“If you don’t want your finger, you can continue pointing at me!” Su Ruoxi said calmly.

Eunuch Ma stopped pointing immediately. He was afraid that she might really do it. He looked at the guard beside him and pushed the imperial edict into his hands. “Announce the imperial edict for me!”

When he spoke, the guard had no reaction. He tried to convey the message by gesturing, in the end, he had to resort to writing on the guard’s palm!

“Eunuch Ma, you want me to announce the imperial edict?” The guard asked in disbelief.

“Yes! Hurry, announce the imperial edict, or you will be killed!” Eunuch Ma wrote in anger. He wanted to arrest her quickly so that she could hand over the antidote!

“Yes, yes! Su Ruoxi of Prince Su’s mansion, please receive the imperial edict!” The guard held the imperial edict and announced with great caution.

Su Yunqi, Shen Fei, and Lin Yue were kneeling on the floor, ready to receive the imperial edict! However, Su Ruoxi, Mo Lian, and Baby Su were still in their spot…

“Why aren’t you guys kneeling?” Eunuch Ma yelled. Then, he remembered that he couldn’t talk. He glared at Su Ruoxi in anger for a while. In the end, he signaled the guard to continue announcing…

The guard continued announcing. “It was supposed to be a joyous occasion that Su Ruoxi of Prince Su’s mansion had returned after being missing for many years! However, she harbors evil thoughts and has malicious intentions! She used drugs to control her sister and assassinated the Crown Prince! Such unpardonable acts should be punished! She will be brought to prison and arranged for interrogation. If she is held accountable for the crimes, she will be beheaded as punishment!”

After the announcement, the imperial edict was passed to Su Ruoxi. Su Ruoxi smiled, and a small flame sprouted from her fingertips. It burnt the imperial edict into ashes…

Everyone stared at Su Ruoxi in shock, Su Yunqi frowned in disagreement. “If you want to defy the edict, that’s your problem. Don’t get the whole Prince’s mansion into trouble!”

“Why? Prince, are you afraid? If you are, you can chase me out of the Prince’s mansion! I don’t really care anyway!” Su Ruoxi smiled faintly.

“Prince, don’t bother with her! The Emperor has sent down an imperial edict! If we listen to her now, we will fall into her trap!” Lin Yue yelled in anger.

“Hmph, Eunuch Ma, she is here. Do what you need to do!” Su Yunqi left in a fury. Lin Yue glared at Su Ruoxi and left the Jade Garden with Su Yunqi…

Upon seeing that Su Yunqi left, Eunuch Ma signaled the guards to arrest Su Ruoxi…

“Stop, she is not Xi-er! Our Xi-er died six years ago! You are arresting the wrong person!” Shen Fei stood out and stopped the guards.

Eunuch Ma was taken aback. Then, he wrote on the guard’s hand. The guard turned around and said, “Madam Shen, Eunuch Ma said she is the Third Miss. Eunuch Ma once saw Su Zhe, and the Third Miss looks just like Su Zhe! Please don’t get in the way of our job!”

“No, she is not Xi-er! Coughs…” Shen Fei explained agitatedly. She couldn’t let them take Xi-er away. When Xi-er left with them, she would really be in danger.

“Madam, are you okay!” Granny Shen came over and helped Shen Fei immediately.

“Old Madam, don’t worry! I will be okay! They wouldn’t be able to do anything to me, trust me!” Su Ruoxi signed and walked in front of Shen Fei to explain when she saw Shen Fei helping her.

Shen Fei wanted to say something, but when she looked Su Ruoxi in the eye, she fell silent. Su Ruoxi really looked like her son, but unlike at the same time! Su Ruoxi’s expression told her that she would be able to keep to her words and trust her…
