THE LITTLE DARLING WIFE WHO IS A DIVINE DOCTOR SAVED THE ENTIRE FAMILY [Part 1]

Ch 355 - 356

C355: I’ll be leaving now.

"Father-in-law, what I'm about to say may seem rather far-fetched, so please prepare yourself mentally," said Mo Jiuye solemnly.

Seeing his son-in-law's grave demeanor, He Yuanming also became serious. "What is this about?"

"Nan Qi is not the biological child of the Emperor and Concubine Yuan. The true prince is someone else..."

Mo Jiuye quickly explained to his father-in-law how Nan Qi and Fei Nanyu had been switched at birth, hoping he could figure out how to respond to this in the future.

As expected, this was earth-shattering news for He Yuanming.

"It seems the future of Da Shun is beset with twists and turns, when even any tomcat or stray dog can become a prince."

Knowing his father-in-law was loyal to Da Shun, Mo Jiuye simply told him everything he knew.

"There's more. Nan Heng has colluded with the Queen of the Southern Tribes. He is already dead. Prince Rui has fled the capital with Consort De, and they are living in hiding under assumed names elsewhere. So father-in-law, please be mentally prepared for who will eventually gain control of Da Shun."

For He Yuanming, each revelation from his son-in-law was more shocking than the last.

Seeing his dazed expression, Mo Jiuye could not afford to explain in detail, because right then, someone knocked on the door.

"Master He, I've prepared the clothes."

He Yuanming quickly composed himself to look as if nothing had happened, and opened the door with his own hand.

Just as he was about to take the clothes from the steward, he saw the previously hale and hearty steward collapse on the ground, still clasping the porcelain bottle he had failed to conceal.

At the same time, Mo Jiuye yanked his father-in-law forcefully backwards.

"Be careful," Mo Jiuye said softly.

Before He Yuanming even realized what was happening, Mo Jiuye had already caught a bug with his bare hands.

Because this was so sudden, Mo Jiuye did not have a small bottle on him. The gu worm struggled violently in his grip.

If he had not wanted to leave some evidence for his father-in-law to implicate the Ninth Prince, he might have crushed the gu worm dead already.

Although He Yuanming had never seen a gu worm with his own eyes, seeing his son-in-law's alarm, he guessed that the steward who had just arrived must have been sent by the Ninth Prince to infect him with gu.

Seeing his son-in-law still holding the disgusting worm, He Yuanming quickly fetched a teacup from the table and gave it to Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye accepted the teacup and put the worm inside, promptly covering it with the lid.

"I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to act so quickly."

Mo Jiuye suspected that he had only just informed Fei Nanyu, and even if he and Nan Qi worked together to resist this, they would still need some time.

It was possible some ministers had already fallen into the trap.

Fortunately, he had brought his father-in-law here, and the man had not left yet. Otherwise, with He Yuanming's complete lack of martial prowess, there would have been no chance of escaping this unscathed.

Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye felt extremely anxious in retrospect. If his father-in-law had been infected with gu while he was aware of the plot, he wouldn't know how to explain to his wife when he returned to the Northwest.
