Xie Qiao’s swift departure left Yan Ruzhuang at a loss.

She hurriedly returned to the room and waited for her mother to wake up.

The doctor had already checked Madam Yan’s pulse. He was a little surprised as he stroked his beard. “Madam Yan’s pulse seems to have calmed down significantly. Her heart and spirit are not as weak as before. Judging by her pulse alone… she should be fine.”

Madam Yan’s condition was very strange earlier. Her pulse was chaotic, her liver was full of heat, and her state of mind was poor.

She was indeed much better now. However, he also knew that Madam Yan’s condition was special, so he could not insist that she had recovered. He said, “I’ll take a look when she wakes up.”

When Yan Ruzhuang heard the doctor’s words, she had hope ignited in her heart. She refused to go anywhere and stayed by her bed the whole night.

The next day, Madam Yan woke up before dawn.

Master Yan had not gone to court yet, so he rushed over from the study to see his wife.

Madam Yan’s face was still pale and her body was weak. She opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. Her brows relaxed. “Today… the house is much more refreshed…”

“Refreshed? Mother? Do you feel much better?!” Yan Ruzhuang asked in surprise.

“I don’t know. I just feel better, as if…” Madam Yan paused. Instantly, her husband and child in the room were worried. “There’s no more evil…”

Previously, she felt that there was something strange in her eyes.

Around her, there seemed to be many terrifying monsters staring at her, which gave her goosebumps!

However, now, it was as if she could not see anything. There was nothing. The sun had not risen outside, but the bright moon was still there. It shone through the window, illuminating the room and making it quite bright.

“Mother, are you alright?” Yan Ruzhuang’s tears fell, “You must be feeling better now. The master said that your body will recover. Look, this is the talisman the master gave me. Hang it by the bed every day. Mother will definitely be safe!”

Madam Yan glanced at the talisman and could not help but hold it in her hand.

“I feel at ease…” It was as if her soul had suddenly returned.

Madam Yan’s eyes had become much clearer. It was not like before, where she would be in a daze from time to time. She was either unusually irritable or absent-minded.

Now, there was a glow in her eyes. As a family member, Imperial Censor Yan also saw this clearly.

He was extremely shocked.

Could it be… that Witch Mo really had the ability to… exterminate demons and evil?!

Master Yan’s worldview had collapsed.

His mind was in a mess, but his wife was in good condition. He was naturally over the moon, but he was a little too ashamed to see his daughter.

If his wife had really completely recovered, then what did he do yesterday?!

Master Yan had a complicated expression, but there was still an early court session later. He entered the palanquin in a daze. When he reached the palace gate, the officials he used to be close to came over and gossiped as usual.

“Master Yan, you weren’t here yesterday since it was a rest day for you, right? Yesterday, the Emperor harshly reprimanded Master Dong… Sigh, it’s tough on the Fourth Prince.”

Master Yan knew that Master Dong was the future father-in-law of the Fourth Prince, and they could be considered family.

“What is it this time?” Master Yan asked subconsciously.

“What is it? Perhaps it’s because of Young Lady Xie. I heard that it was the day before yesterday’s palace banquet. I don’t know what happened in the palace, but all the noble girls who entered the palace were rewarded. Among them, Young Lady Xie was rewarded the most. However, all of the ladies who are closer to Young Lady Dong were reprimanded. I asked around and heard that it was Young Lady Dong’s words that offended Young Lady Xie, that’s why she got into trouble.”

The news of the human bones in the palace was truly shocking. Naturally, it could not be spread around, especially since it was done by the great consort. It would be a disgrace to the royal family.

However, they did not push the blame onto Xie Qiao. They only did not reward Dong Xiyun and did not punish her. However, some people could not help but make malicious guesses.

This sort of thing was a common occurrence for the Crown Prince in the past.

As Xie Qiao had become the Princess Consort, she was one of those who took the blame.
