Chapter 41 The Calm Before the Storm

The calm descended upon the Royal Mansion again.

Subsequently, the affected tributors naturally sought out skilled doctors to antidote the poison within them.

However, the poison, concocted by a cultivator, was fundamentally different from any conventional poison. Ordinary doctors were at a loss on how to treat it, some even made the condition worse in their haste.

There were those who attempted to sway the Princess Consort, hoping she would intervene.

However, the Princess Consort seemed to tacitly approve of Yu Xian's actions, even refusing to meet with the Prefecture Magistrate who came to plead on behalf of Xia Family.

No matter how weak, Duke Fu's Mansion was still the master of Prosper County.

Being denied entry under the watch of so many eyes, the Prefecture Magistrate suffered a great blow to his reputation and in turn held a deep grudge against Xia Family.
