Chapter 418 Getting Beaten Up, the Deadly Antidote
With a "slap", Princess Zhou's slap landed heavily on Yang Shu's face.
Yang Shu was hit so hard that her head tilted sideways.
She raised her eyes and looked at Princess Zhou with complicated eyes, tears in her eyes: "Mother! I really know I was wrong! And I was framed by someone, I didn't mean to do that!"
"Snapped!"
Princess Zhou slapped Yang Shu again and said coldly, "You've already caused your brother to lose his position as Crown Prince. What's the point of telling me this now? Can it make your brother become Crown Prince again?"
Yang Shu wanted to refute that Yang Xiu would lose his position as the crown prince because he asked Lin Xiao to steal Xie Ying, not because of her, Yang Shu.
But thinking of her mother's favoritism over the years, she silently swallowed the rebuttal that was surging in her heart, and then pulled the corner of her mouth in self-mockery.
My mother has always valued my brother, and she is not unaware of this. Now saying that my brother brought this upon himself will only make my mother dislike me even more. What else will it do?
Her father has already abandoned her. If she offends her mother again, her future life will only become more miserable.
Yang Shu could only bow her head respectfully and admit her fault. "As my mother has taught me, I was gravely wrong this time and have implicated my brother. Don't worry, I will go to Baiyun Temple to become a nun later. In the future, I will provide porridge and medicine to the people and help them. I will do my best to restore my reputation and will never bring trouble to you and my brother!"
Princess Zhou looked at her with cold eyes and wanted to say something else, but Yang Xiu suddenly said, "Mother, please don't blame me. Now that things have come to this, let it be."
He lowered his eyes to hide the hatred in them.
If Yang Shu had not caused trouble in the capital, making herself infamous and bringing trouble to Prince Zhou's Mansion, he would not have rushed over in such a hurry and even swallowed poison and pretended to be poisoned.
Originally, he was poisoned and had to make this trip. As long as the plan went smoothly, everything could be solved perfectly.
Unfortunately... all his plans were ruined by Yang Shu and Lin Xiao!
Now he and Yang Shu have been demoted to commoners, and Wang Kui has attacked Yang Shu first. If Yang Shu dies suddenly, it will only confirm his accusations of wanting to get rid of Yang Shu.
The only option is to let her live, become a nun, and help the people to restore her reputation.
Unfortunately, my mother was so confused that she only cared about venting her own anger without considering the overall situation at all.
Now is the time to coax Yang Shu and let her become a nun in Baiyun Temple to restore their reputation.
Hitting her twice was enough. If they continued to hit her, Yang Shu would become resentful and alienate them. After going to Baiyun Temple, she would give up completely and deliberately make trouble.
The reputation of Prince Zhou’s Palace was completely ruined.
Yang Xiu stood up and gently helped Yang Shu up. "Sister, stop kneeling. Get up quickly. Let's sit down and talk it over. Don't blame Mother. Mother has actually been very worried about you."
When my mother heard that something happened to you in the capital, she was so worried that she fell ill. When I set out for the capital, my mother held my hand and told me to bring you back safely.
She loves you so deeply that she criticizes you harshly. You can't take it to heart."
Yang Shu couldn't help but sneer inwardly: What kind of person is her mother? How could she not know? In her mother's heart, only her brother, the legitimate son, was the most important, and she, the daughter who couldn't inherit the throne, was just a dispensable tool for marriage.
But she didn't dare show any of her resentment.
Yang Xiu was too cruel. He had wanted Wang Kui to kill her in the capital before. Now that she was back in Gusu, if she dared to express her dissatisfaction, Yang Xiu would definitely not show mercy to her!
If her mother knew what she was thinking, she would probably be even more cruel than her brother, just to help her brother get rid of her as a future trouble!
Yang Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you worry too much. Mother is right. This disaster is all caused by me. How can I have any complaints?
Now that I have been demoted to a commoner and am about to become a nun, I will have to rely on my mother and brother for the rest of my life. I cannot possibly cut off my own path and act as foolishly as before."
Yang Xiu naturally understood what she said, otherwise he would not have watched Princess Zhou slap Yang Shu twice without fear before speaking out to stop her.
He knew very well that Yang Shu was already a useless person and could only rely on him and Princess Zhou in the future.
Therefore, as long as they don't go too far, Yang Shu will not turn against them.
But he still gently comforted her, "You can't be blamed entirely for what happened this time. It's obvious that someone is hiding behind us and deliberately plotting against us."
When talking about this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He took Yang Shu's hand and said, "Mother only gave birth to us two siblings, but Father had other children. Now we have been demoted to commoners, and those people don't know how proud they are.
We are brothers and sisters from the same mother. Only by uniting together can we not be bullied by those low-class people!"
"Don't worry, brother. I know what to do. From now on, I will listen to you and do whatever you tell me to do."
Yang Shu looked at Yang Xiu expectantly, "I just hope that when brother gets better in the future, he won't forget about his sister."
Yang Xiu immediately promised, "Don't worry, I won't let you stay in Baiyun Temple forever, living a simple life surrounded by green lamps and ancient Buddhas. When father achieves great success in the future, I will prepare the most gorgeous dress for you and personally take you out of Baiyun Temple in grand style, making you the most glorious princess!"
Yang Shu smiled expectantly: "I really hope that day will come soon."
In her heart, she sneered: her brother is even more naive than her. If that day really comes, she and her brother will probably die tragically, and it will become an excuse for her father to start a rebellion! She still needs to find a way to jump out of this hell as soon as possible!
Suddenly, she smelled a scent of medicine.
Yang Shu looked over in surprise, only to see the good doctor in the mansion personally bringing a bowl of steaming hot medicine over. She immediately had some guesses in her mind.
As expected, Princess Zhou looked at Yang Xiu with joy: "Xiu'er, your antidote is ready, drink it quickly!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the good doctor again: "Did you brew this medicine yourself? Will Xiu'er get better after drinking this medicine?"
The good doctor said quickly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I personally selected the herbs and brewed the medicine myself. I dare not make any mistakes during the process. I will never let anyone take advantage of me.
It's just that the young master has been poisoned for some time. Although the poison is not fatal, it will cause some damage to the body. Therefore, after the detoxification, you still need to be careful and recuperate."
When Princess Zhou heard that it would cause harm to her body, her face turned a little ugly.
However, the other party was a good doctor in the palace, and his medical skills were very good, so she couldn't blame him at this time.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Yang Xiu was also afraid that she would say something unpleasant, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the antidote. I trust Doctor Wang."
Doctor Wang Liang was deeply moved when he saw him helping out and quickly handed him the antidote.
Yang Xiu took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
When the maid saw that he had finished drinking, she quickly handed him some water to rinse his mouth. She didn't give him any candied fruit or anything like that, because Yang Xiu was very cautious and would never eat anything while taking medicine.
Yang Xiu quickly rinsed his mouth and smiled to comfort Princess Zhou: "Don't worry, mother. Doctor Wang is a master of medicine and has excellent medical skills. He will be able to recover quickly.
This poison was carefully selected by him. It doesn't actually cause serious damage to the body. It just makes people look pale and weak..."
As soon as he said this, his face suddenly changed!
