Qiuyue didn't dare apply the medicine, and carefully analyzed, "It seems a bit strange that you're only going to look for it now."

"You should pretend that you searched all night and only found the prince consort today after great difficulty, and that you already know about Jin Mudan's accident."

"And you must bring the imperial physician with you, so as to show your sincerity."

Chu Qinghe frowned. Wasn't this a disguised way of currying favor with Mo Lingchen?

I have to pretend to care about that bitch. When has she ever done anything so unbecoming? It's so frustrating.

But when she thought of Mo Lingchen's outstanding face, his profound knowledge and talent, and his gentleness and humor when they first met, she couldn't help but blush.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Qinghe seemed to have made up her mind: "Qiuyue, go and invite the imperial physician. We must invite the best one."

"Perfect timing, this princess also wants to know if that bitch has any chance of coming back to life?"

"If sending over rare and precious herbs actually saves her life, wouldn't this princess be losing more than she gains?"

"If she really doesn't make it back to life, then this princess will reluctantly make use of her."

Qiuyue respectfully replied, "Yes, this servant will go and invite them right away."

Chu Qinghe dressed very simply and brought a very precious century-old ginseng.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard. The driver was a palace guard. Hu Zi was a little intimidated and didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed as a palace maid alighted from the carriage and then placed a footstool down to help Chu Qinghe down from the carriage.

Upon seeing such a scene, Tiger immediately sent Stone in to deliver the message.

"May I ask who this distinguished guest is? Are you here to see my wife?" Tiger stepped forward and asked in a refined manner.

Qiu Yue shouted sternly, "How dare you! Why don't you kneel before the princess?"

Tiger's face changed, and his legs went weak involuntarily. He knelt down and kowtowed.

After all, he came from a humble background as a beggar, and he was also young and had never seen important people or big scenes before, so this kind of reaction is normal.

Chu Qinghe didn't even glance at him, simply walked past him and entered the courtyard.

When Su Yujiao heard that a distinguished guest had arrived, she had just come out of the ward when she saw Chu Qinghe, and her emotions instantly became excited.

What are you doing here?

"Who let you in? Get out! You're not welcome here."

"Insolence!" Qiu Yue shouted, and the guards drew their swords.

Upon hearing the commotion, Lu Ziqian immediately stepped out and stood in front of Su Yujiao.

"So you are the princess. Your humble servant greets the princess."

Lu Ziqian only verbally bowed, but in reality stood in front of Su Yujiao without moving.

He was a powerful general, and although he didn't need to kneel before the princess, he still had to give a slight bow.

However, faced with his rudeness, Qiuyue and the princess's guards dared not utter a single word of reproach.

"May I ask what brings the princess here?"

Chu Qinghe glanced at Lu Ziqian with an arrogant expression, clearly dissatisfied with his haughty attitude.

"Where is the prince consort?"

"I heard that Miss Peony was hit by a carriage, so I brought the imperial physician here to see if he could help."

Su Yujiao glared at her, her eyes blazing with hatred: "Stop pretending!"

"Don't think that you can cover up your crimes by pretending to be innocent."

Chu Qinghe frowned: "This princess doesn't understand what the county princess is saying."

"Without evidence, Your Highness would be wise to think twice before speaking out of turn."

"Today, out of respect for General Lu, I, the princess, will not hold it against you."

"Where is the prince consort? Lead the way." Chu Qinghe said arrogantly, in a commanding tone.

Lu Ziqian spoke up: "Stone, lead the way for the princess."

He forcibly dragged Su Yujiao back to her room, fearing that she might do something impulsive in her emotional state, which would be difficult to handle later.

Chu Qinghe stood in front of the ward door, staring blankly at Mo Lingchen lying by the bed holding Jin Mudan's hand, and almost broke down in jealousy.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's jealous and twisted expression, Qiu Yue whispered a reminder: "Princess, you don't need to bother with a dead person."

Chu Qinghe suppressed her anger and composed herself before going inside.

“My lord, you’re really here.”

"I've heard about what happened to Miss Peony, but I didn't expect her injuries to be so severe."

"Master Qi, please give Miss Peony a diagnosis."

Old Qi was the master of Physician Zhou. Before retiring, he was also the head of the Imperial Medical Academy and was very experienced. Naturally, his medical skills were superior to those of Physician Zhou.

Chu Qinghe was able to invite even Elder Qi, which shows how much she is favored.

Mo Lingchen concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, trying his best to control his impulse to kill in public.

If it weren't for the fear of implicating his family, he would have loved to tear Chu Qinghe to pieces.

Mo Lingchen supported himself on the edge of the bed with both hands, stiffly got up, looked at Chu Qinghe, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness is very kind."

"Mr. Qi, this way please."

Chu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mo Lingchen's attitude seemed normal.

She thought he would be angry and go crazy, but to her surprise, he still saved face for her in front of others.

Mo Lingchen took a step, feeling a little dizzy. Chu Qinghe immediately stepped forward to support him and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Mo Lingchen shook off her hand, his voice still flat: "Princess, there's no need to worry."

The man's movements were subtle enough not to be noticed by outsiders, but Chu Qinghe could clearly feel his resistance; he did not want to be touched by her.

Chu Qinghe felt wronged, but she also knew that his reaction was normal.

It wouldn't be scary if he suddenly became unusually gentle and considerate towards her after she had just killed Jin Mudan.

After examining Jin Mudan, Old Qi shook his head regretfully.

"Let's prepare for the worst as soon as possible."

"Her current condition is no different from that of a dead person."

"No matter how carefully she is cared for, her body will gradually deteriorate and atrophy. Such persistence is meaningless and will only increase the sorrow."

"Let her be laid to rest as soon as possible."

Chu Qinghe was secretly delighted, but couldn't help asking, "Elder Qi, is Miss Peony really not going to wake up?"

"Even if we use all the rarest and most precious materials and elixirs, it still won't work?"

The old man shook his head: "No elixir or medicine will work. Unless there are really gods in this world, this girl has no chance of waking up."

Chu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she pretended to take out the precious century-old ginseng.

"Elder Qi, I've heard that a hundred-year-old ginseng can cure all diseases, so I brought it with me today. Could you please see if it will be of any help to Miss Peony?"

The old man waved his hand, seemingly a little tired and not wanting to waste any more words.

"It's useless, nothing works, so stop bothering."

"Such precious medicinal materials should be left for those who need them."

"I'm getting old, and my strength is failing me..."

Chu Qinghe immediately ordered the guards to send Elder Qi back to rest.

Qiuyue also wisely left, leaving the princess and her husband alone.

"Your Highness, you heard what Elder Qi said. Why don't we just let it go and let Miss Peony rest in peace as soon as possible?"
