Chapter 92 The Miracle Doctor is a Fraud

Under the questioning of the chief physician, the angry glares of the Yu siblings, and the death stare of the emperor, the man finally admitted, trembling, that he was not a miracle doctor at all, but a fraud.

The emperor was furious and ordered the swindler and the three members of the Yu family to be dragged out and beheaded.

At the critical moment, Yu Jiaojiao recalled what had happened before Yu Zixuan regained consciousness and vaguely realized that Yu Zhiyi might have played a role in it. So she begged the emperor to let Yu Zhiyi enter the palace to clean up their mess...

Bah, it's to treat the Empress Dowager's illness.

Standing outside the Shou Kang Palace of the Western Empress Dowager, Yu Zhiyi smelled the wisps of medicinal fragrance wafting from the main hall and observed the area above the palace. Soon, she had a clear understanding of the situation.

As soon as she stepped into the palace, a figure rushed towards her: "Sister, sister, I know I was wrong, please save the Empress Dowager!"

Yu Jiaojiao clung to Yu Zhiyi's leg, crying pitifully.

"I know you hate me, hate that I came back and took everything from you. Don't worry, as long as you can cure the Empress Dowager, I will automatically sever ties with my parents, stop calling myself the second young lady of the Yu family, and return my parents to you!"

Not far away, Yu Mengqin and Yu Zixuan were kneeling on the ground.

Seeing his most beloved younger sister/older sister crying pitifully, Yu Mengqin's eyes were icy cold, while Yu Zixuan's eyes were blazing with fire: "Sister Jiaojiao, things haven't been clarified yet, you don't need to beg her."

Actually, after learning that the miracle doctor was an imposter, both of them had a change in mindset.

Especially Yu Zixuan.

He recalled the day he had just regained consciousness, and the girl's eyes, filled with surprise and a hint of grievance.

When questioned by her family, she looked at no one but him.

At that time, he didn't understand why this familiar yet unfamiliar girl would show that kind of expression, but after hearing from others what she had done to him and Yu Jiaojiao, he was left with only disgust and didn't want to investigate further.

And now...

Before Yu Zixuan could think it through, he heard Yu Jiaojiao's tearful complaint of grievance.

A habitual pang of heartache instantly filled my heart, and all those chaotic thoughts vanished.

All he knew was that Yu Zhiyi was bullying Jiao Jiao again!

As for the claim that Yu Zhiyi actually cured him, that's utter nonsense.

If she was really that capable, why didn't she explain back then?

Those who cultivate the Tao must have plenty of ways to prove their abilities, right?

But at that time, faced with everyone's questioning and his distrust, she simply remained silent.

"Let go, or I won't hesitate to kick you away."

Yu Zhiyi's voice was cold, and her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, as if she were speaking not to a family member, but to an enemy.

Yu Jiaojiao felt a chill all over her body and subconsciously let go.

When she realized that she had chickened out, she was filled with remorse and wanted to grab Yu Zhiyi's clothes again and cry.

Regardless of whether Yu Zhiyi can save the Empress Dowager, she and her brother Yu Mengqin are definitely going to be in trouble.

She didn't want to die.

What's worse than death is seeing the person you hate the most living a better life than you.

Therefore, she was determined to drag Yu Zhiyi into this mess no matter what.

If the other party can save the Empress Dowager, then everyone will be happy.

But if the other side can't save the Empress Dowager... don't even think about escaping unscathed!

However, when she reached out her hand, she found that the skirt, which was so close to her, had slipped through her fingers.

She tried to grab it again, but this time it felt like she was grasping an invisible barrier.

Her hand was slapped hard by that invisible barrier, and she cried out in pain.

Everyone in the hall looked at her, and Yu Jiaojiao instinctively tried to shift the blame to Yu Zhiyi: "Sister, I know you don't like me, but you can't hit me in front of so many people..."

Yu Zhiyi's eyes were mocking.

Although Yu Jiaojiao felt something was wrong, she didn't think much of it. Anyway, she had used this method many times when she was in the Yu family, and it was always successful.

But she forgot that this was not the Yu residence, but the imperial palace.

This place wasn't just home to the blind members of the Yu family; it also housed the emperor, his guards, and many palace servants.

Even the two young men of the Yu family clearly saw what had just happened.

So after Yu Jiaojiao uttered her habitual false accusations, the two of them did not question Yu Zhiyi or comfort Yu Jiaojiao as they had done in the past. Instead, they showed expressions of astonishment.

Yu Jiaojiao felt a sense of unease: "Big brother, little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Zhiyi sneered: "Yu Jiaojiao, open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is not the Yu residence. Everyone saw your deliberate attempt to frame me. Even if those two are blind and want to favor you, they should think about the consequences."

Yu Jiaojiao was startled: "Sister, what are you saying? You really just now..."

“I didn’t touch you at all.” Yu Zhiyi looked down at her. “You’re the one trying to stage an accident, but you can’t get close to me.”

In a daze, Yu Jiaojiao recalled what happened at the palace banquet that day.

"A defensive bracelet!?"

"It's grown a brain?" Yu Zhiyi exclaimed in amazement.

The emperor's face was ashen: "Guards, drag this unruly creature out!"

The Yu brothers panicked: "Your Majesty, please forgive us! My sister/elder sister didn't mean it!"

Before the emperor could say anything more, a voice announced, "Consort Yu has arrived!"

As the announcement ended, a beautiful figure entered the main hall.

Seeing the two guards about to drag Yu Jiaojiao away, the beautiful woman with a supple body bowed gracefully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

She gave a slight bow, her figure graceful.

Midway through the ceremony, Dai Mei suddenly frowned slightly and covered her lower abdomen with her hand.

Consort Yu has just been found to be pregnant, less than three months along, which is the most crucial time.

She had always been favored by the emperor, and he had high hopes for this pregnancy.

Seeing that she seemed uncomfortable, the emperor frowned, but still raised his hand to signal the guards to release Yu Jiaojiao.

He then looked at Yu Zhiyi and said, "Doctor Yu, you should have already known what happened when you came here. Go and see the Empress Dowager. I order you to cure her."

Yu Zhiyi: "..."

Little did anyone expect that one day, working in the Ministry of Justice would be just as dangerous as working in the Imperial Medical Bureau, with the constant risk of losing one's head.

Human emperors are truly a headache-inducing character.

Although she was inwardly furious, she still reassured him, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Hearing her say that, the emperor was miraculously relieved.

Although the three members of the Yu family were unwilling to admit it, they had to, and their hearts were finally at ease.

Yu Zhiyi had already seen it clearly outside Shou Kang Palace, and she came in now just to confirm it again.

She first observed the Empress Dowager's bedside for a while, then circled the entire Shou Kang Palace, and returned to the Emperor's side a quarter of an hour later: "Your Majesty, I have figured out the problem."

The emperor was secretly delighted: "Really? Is there a way?"

"Yes," Yu Zhiyi answered truthfully.

A hint of resentment flashed in Yu Jiaojiao's eyes, and she wanted to say something.

The seemingly frail and boneless Consort Yu suddenly looked at her, her gentle eyes filled with a strong warning.

Yu Zhiyi watched the subtle exchange between the aunt and niece and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of the favored concubine who has remained in the Emperor's favor for so many years, she's definitely smarter than Yu Jiaojiao."
