”Shut up!” The veins on Feng Jingye's forehead stood on end as he roared hysterically.

Prime Minister Chu felt his legs go weak, his vision went black, while Qin Mu rolled his eyes and fainted.

The Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin was in a complete mess, he pulled up a chair and helped Prime Minister Chu and Qin Mu to sit.

Bai Zheng maintained her crawling posture, and said while trembling: ”Your Highness, forgive me! This subject's daughter, this subject's daughter knows that she shouldn't speak carelessly. When Young Master Chu says these words, this subject's daughter is also very afraid … Young Master Chu saw that her daughter did not listen to her words, and became angry from embarrassment. She picked up the poison wine, and insisted on infusing her with a woman … ”

”Young Master Chu wants to kill you with poison?” Feng Jingxuan supported them with his competence.

Bai Zheng nodded her head like she was hitting garlic, ”Young Master Chu said that due to many years of love, he had left her with a corpse. She has her hands and feet tied up, unable to move, so she was forced by Young Master Chu to drink half a cup of wine.

”What!?” Zheng, you were poisoned? ” As her father, Bai Yinan immediately caught on to the main point of Bai Zheng's words.

Yesterday, not long after he returned from the General Mansion, Bai Yinan received a message from Feng Linyuan's men, saying that he had been rescued, and that he would first go to Song Jin's courtyard to discuss some matters, and then return home at a later time.

As for the matter with the officials, we can discuss about it after Bai Zheng returns home.

He didn't expect that Bai Yinan would keep waiting until deep into the night, and when he received news that Bai Zheng had not returned to his residence that day, he said that he had something to delay, and that it would be inconvenient to return after locking the city gates, so he could only act tomorrow morning.

Although Bai Yinan followed Bai Zheng's instructions for all the following actions, he had indeed not been able to figure out the reason behind Bai Zheng's delay of one night.

From the looks of it, it was all because of the poison?

Bai Yinan's heart immediately ached. No wonder her daughter kept on crying when she saw him just now.

”Zheng, how is your body? Does the poison have an antidote? Bai Yinan's questions came one after another.

Bai Zheng felt a burst of guilt. She should have told his father about this earlier, since it could only cause him to worry for his father.

She raised her head and laughed at Bai Yinan, ”Father, don't worry. After the Marquis saved me yesterday, when he saw that the poison in me was still shallow, he immediately sent me to An Guo Temple nearby. Fortunately, An Guo's Master Jing Yuan had great medical skills and had cured my poison, but after the poison had left me in a coma, I had no choice but to stay in An Guo Temple for the night before returning home early in the morning.”

Hearing these words, Feng Jingxuan could not help but sneer in his heart.

She was curious, why would Bai Zheng, in order to break Chu Family, be willing to pay such a debt and spend an entire night without returning?

However, with her explanation, there was no longer any problem with her reputation.

The reason he hadn't returned for one night was because he had been poisoned, and it wasn't a single man and woman being placed in the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis for detoxification, but rather in An Guo Temple.

Although the An Guo Temple was a temple, because of the Buddha statue being examined, royal relatives and nobles often went to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Even high ranking officials and female family members would occasionally stay for a few days for the sake of a petition.

Therefore, An Guoguo Temple had set up a courtyard for the nobles to live in.

For a young miss who had yet to leave the pavilion, even if she was not sick, staying an entire night at An Guo Temple was nothing. Furthermore, Bai Zheng had even gotten poisoned?

As to whether or not she had actually gone to An Guo Temple, or whether or not Master Jing Yuan had saved her, Feng Jingxuan felt that there was nothing much to worry about.
