Chapter 7: The Princess is Causing Trouble in the Palace (Part 7)

After Zhao Ming left Su Yan's courtyard and returned to his own courtyard, he immediately asked someone to invite the genius doctor from the palace to come and treat him.

Seeing the miracle doctor's face getting worse and worse, and taking his pulse again and again, Zhao Ming's heart sank to the bottom.

"Divine Doctor Hua, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. What's wrong with my body?"

Although he was unwilling to accept this fact, Zhao Ming still shuddered and looked at the miracle doctor beside him in pain.

"Your Highness, I am not very talented. How about you secretly find two more reliable doctors to help me tomorrow?"

Doctor Hua avoided Zhao Ming's gaze. He wanted to speak frankly, but if he said it, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

I originally thought that I would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life after entering the Ming Palace, but now I am afraid that even surviving is a luxury.

Hearing Doctor Hua say words like "secretly, and reliably", Zhao Ming's heart was hurt again. Doesn't this mean that there is no way to cure the disease completely?

"Please, doctor, please look for more prescriptions for this disease and see if there is any possibility of a cure. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Zhao Ming raised his heavy hand and waved it weakly at Doctor Hua and the servants in the room, asking them to leave.

The next day, Hu Xiaomeng, who had a good night's sleep, and Zhao Ming, who had a sleepless night, came to the dining hall for dinner.

"Your Highness, did you not get enough rest last night? You look so pale.

You should have asked the miracle doctor about your health. Am I lying to you?"

When Hu Xiaomeng saw Zhao Ming’s haggard face, she felt deeply moved.

"Yan'er, do you really have to talk to me like this? The sterilizing potion in your body really wasn't given by me. It must be some traitor who was bribed by someone else to harm our palace. You must not fall for it.

First, tell me how you discovered that someone had put a sterilizing drug in your body."

Knowing that he couldn't break up with Su Yan now, Zhao Ming coaxed her in a gentle tone.

"Your Majesty, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. If you dare to do it, I will respect you as a man.

Even now you are still trying to shift the blame. The person who really wants to harm Prince Ming's Palace is the one who instigated you to drug his wife and concubine.

Not only does she want to harm me and the two concubines, she also wants to harm you. Her goal is the destruction of the entire Ming Palace."

Hu Xiaomeng couldn't wait to find out who the woman Zhao Ming was hiding, so she started to sow discord.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted in a person's heart, even the deepest feelings will become estranged, and there is no need to worry that he will not meet that woman.

"Yan'er, you misunderstood. No one instigated me to give you a sterilizing drug!"

Zhao Ming could not admit that he had done such a thing no matter what, and continued to argue guiltily.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking any more. Go out and don't disturb me while I'm having breakfast. It might spoil my appetite."

Not wanting to even look at this shameless prince, Hu Xiaomeng saw that the maids had already set a table for a sumptuous breakfast, so she waved to Zhao Ming and asked him to leave the dining room.

"I haven't had breakfast yet..."

Being stared at coldly by his princess, Zhao Ming didn't dare to say another word and had no choice but to get up and leave.

When I left, I still felt a little proud. At least she was willing to come back from the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, which showed that she still had feelings for me.

It's just that he asked the secret guards to do this matter so secretly, so it shouldn't leak out unless someone betrays him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming left the dining hall and summoned all the secret guards in the mansion to interrogate them one by one.

Everyone said that they did not inform the princess, and in the end only two more suspicious secret guards were dealt with.

Thinking of what Su Yan had said in the dining hall before, Zhao Ming took four reliable secret guards and rowed a boat to find his sweetheart Hu Die.

"You two stay here by the lake. If anyone approaches, send me a message immediately."

Leaving his two trusted associates in the dark by the lake, Zhao Ming took two other secret guards and rowed to a yard opposite.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. Die'er missed you so much!"

After seeing Zhao Ming coming, a beautiful woman in a light green long dress, with skin as white as snow and a face like lotus, threw herself into his arms charmingly and gracefully.

"Die'er, besides the maid who serves you, has anyone else come to your place recently?"

Thinking of what Su Yan said in the dining hall, Zhao Ming became a little confused. If someone was giving Hu Die advice behind the scenes, then that person was most likely those cousins.

"Your Majesty, Die'er is so devoted to you, yet you actually suspect me of cheating on you? I was wrong after all."

As soon as she finished the last sentence, Hu Die quickly ran towards a large pillar beside her. Zhao Ming was quick to catch her in time when her forehead hit the pillar.

"Die'er, what are you doing? I didn't say anything, why are you trying to commit suicide?

Ever since you risked your life to save me a year ago, I have vowed to do my utmost to protect you, love you, and cherish you for the rest of my life!"

Zhao Ming, still in shock, hugged Hu Die tightly. He almost lost his beloved woman.

"You didn't say anything, but aren't you suggesting that I'm having an affair with someone else?"

Hu Die raised her little face, the size of a palm, which was covered with tears, and looked at him pitifully.

"No, I really don't doubt this, it's just that the princess found out that I gave the princess and two concubines a sterilizing drug.

I want to know whether the idea of ​​using the sterilization drug was your own or someone else told you about it?"

Zhao Ming explained to her while gently wiping the tears from her face with a concerned look on his face.

"What? The princess actually knew about this, how could this be!

Your Highness, Dier swears on her life and my love for you that I have not told this to anyone else.

And Die'er also told you that you learned this method from hearing from fellow villagers that the county magistrate's wife had not been pregnant for many years, and it was finally discovered that the concubine had given her a sterilizing drug.

Because the concubine felt that the county magistrate's wife, without children, would lack some confidence despite her family background.

The reason I mentioned this matter was because you said that once you took that position in the future, you were worried that the forces behind the Su, Chu, and Li families would be uncontrollable, and even if you became emperor, you would only be a puppet emperor.

If you need someone to take the blame now, please push me out, Your Highness. I am willing to pay for the lives of the Princess and the two concubines."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Die knelt down with a plop. Her eyes were sharp and she looked ready to die, which made Zhao Ming's heart soften instantly.

"Die'er, what are you doing? Get up!

How could I possibly push you out to take the blame? Furthermore, I will never admit this, and the princess can't do anything to me."

Seeing her kneeling down, Zhao Ming quickly reached out and pulled his beloved woman up and hugged her tightly in his arms, fearing that she would do something stupid again.

"Then you must not misunderstand Die'er in the future. My heart was broken into pieces just now. If I don't have your love and care, what's the point of living?"

Hu Die stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Zhao Ming's waist and abdomen, rubbing her little face against his chest with dissatisfaction and speaking in a soft voice.

In fact, he felt very regretful. He didn't expect the princess to be so alert and discover it so quickly.

"You're talking nonsense again. How could I not love you? Today, I will personally show you how much I love you. Let's go to the boat later..."

Zhao Ming whispered something in Hu Die's ear, causing her to blush and stretch out her arms to hit him lightly a few times.

Soon Hu Die went back to the house and dressed as a man, and was led by Zhao Ming onto a small boat.
