Shangguan Ziqi came to Yu Yuanzheng's dowry courtyard. The door was ajar and opened with a push.

Qingfeng and Mingyue pushed him in.

The prince had arrived earlier and was waiting for him.

The two of them entered the left wing together.

After half a month of rest, Doctor Gu was able to get out of bed and move around.

But he spent the past half month as if he had lost his soul.

When the sword stabbed him, he was so frightened that he couldn't even move, and stupidly let the sword pierce his chest.

When he woke up, he would never forget the despair of being on the verge of death.

When he woke up, he saw two unfamiliar warriors guarding him and taking care of him.

They just wouldn't let him leave the yard. No matter what he asked, the two of them wouldn't answer him.

He was in a state of panic every day.

He had no idea what was going on.

When he saw Prince Rong at this time, he realized that he was alive because Prince Rong saved him.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty Prince Rong and His Majesty the Great." Imperial Physician Gu stood up and saluted in panic.

"Doctor Gu, someone wants to kill you to silence you, do you know that?" The prince looked at Doctor Gu expressionlessly.

"What?" Doctor Gu had thought of countless possibilities these days, but still couldn't figure out why someone wanted to kill him.

He did some shameful things. If anyone wanted to kill him, they would have done it long ago. There is no way they would have waited until now.

"Don't you know what you have done?" The prince's face became even colder.

Doctor Gu glanced at Shangguan Ziqi guiltily, then knelt before the prince.

"I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong." Doctor Gu kowtowed repeatedly.

The prince and the eldest son were both standing in front of him. What else was there for him to not understand?

Although he knew beforehand that the eldest son had woken up, and no one had seen his acupuncture technique, he still had some luck.

The fact that Prince Qi asked this shows that he knows everything.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"

"Yes..., yes..." Doctor Gu was still hesitant.

"Speak!" The prince said in a deep voice, full of pressure.

"It's the Concubine Shu." Doctor Gu blurted out in fear.

"Why does she want to harm Ziqi?" The prince felt surprised but also expected.

"I don't know. I just follow orders." Doctor Gu replied with a trembling body.

The prince was speechless for a long time after listening.

I don't know what he is thinking.

"Why are you working for my aunt?" Shangguan Ziqi wanted to know why an imperial physician was willing to work for a concubine, especially when he had committed a serious crime punishable by death if discovered.

He didn't understand why his aunt wanted to harm him.

"I was able to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau because of Concubine Shu's recommendation. I was once wrongly accused by a noble lady, and it was Concubine Shu who protected me and overturned the injustice for me, so that I was not convicted. Otherwise, my family would have been destroyed long ago." Doctor Gu told the truth. Even if he didn't say it, the prince should have found out.

Indeed, the prince had already found out what he said, but what the prince didn't understand was why his sister wanted to kill his son.

"Prepare paper and pen for him."

The secret guard immediately did as he was told.

"Write down clearly how you obeyed Concubine Shu's orders and how you harmed my son."

Doctor Gu knew he couldn't escape, so he had to write down his crimes.

After writing, he signed it and put his fingerprint on it.

"Your Highness, I am responsible for my own actions. Please show mercy and spare my family. They know nothing. I was just following orders." What he meant was that he was not the mastermind.

After receiving the order from Concubine Shu, Doctor Gu had already prepared himself mentally for the day when the truth would be revealed. However, he did not expect it to come so soon, and he did not even have the time to arrange everything for his family.

He was afraid that if he did it too obviously, Concubine Shu and the palace would find out.

He was also a little lucky that no one knew it was him who did it.

Every time he went to the palace to give acupuncture to Dajizi, he was alone and no one saw it, so no one knew that his acupuncture techniques were wrong.

"Anjiu, hand the man over to the Ministry of Justice after the seventh day and sentence him accordingly." The prince ignored Doctor Gu who was still begging for mercy, took the confession letter and was about to leave.

He also had to go back to the palace to take the princess back to her parents' home.

Knowing that it was his own sister who did it, he was sad, but now it was New Year, and today was not suitable to go to the palace to question her. He had to wait a few days.

"Your Highness, the person who assassinated me should not have been arranged by Concubine Shu." Seeing that the prince was about to walk out the door, Doctor Gu immediately expressed his suspicion.

"Why do you think so?" The prince stopped.

"If Concubine Shu wanted to kill me, she would not have waited until now. Moreover, not long ago, Concubine Shu came to see me for a medical consultation and specifically told me to be careful. She also promised me that she would recommend a satisfactory job for my son after the New Year."

The reason why Doctor Gu said this was that he hoped the prince could find out who wanted to kill him.

Even if he was sent to the Ministry of Justice and eventually sentenced to death, he wanted to figure out the matter before he died.

He didn't believe that it was Concubine Shu who wanted to kill him.

"I will make the final decision on this matter." The prince left after saying this.

Shangguan Ziqi also followed.

Imperial Physician Gu was thrown into the Ministry of Justice on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Later, Doctor Gu was sentenced to death and his family was exiled 1,500 miles away to perform hard labor for three years.

Shangguan Ziqi returned to Yu's house just in time for lunch.

He drank some wine with his father-in-law, but Yu Yunzhi didn't drink much, but he got drunk.

I had to let him lie on the bed for a while.

"Zheng'er, is Ziqi worried about something?" As a smart scholar, Yu Yunzhi knew at a glance that his son-in-law was worried and was drinking to drown his sorrows.

"That should be the case. My daughter hasn't had the time to ask him yet." Yu Yuanzheng did not follow him to the courtyard, so she didn't know what Doctor Gu said to him.

Really, can’t you wait a few days before going? Why do you have to do this during the New Year’s Day?

Yu Yuanzheng didn't know that it was the prince who asked him to go.

By the time Shangguan Ziqi woke up, it was already afternoon.

They were just about to return to the palace.

The family saw them off reluctantly.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't tell her family about Yu Chaoyang the whole day.

It’s not appropriate to talk about these bad things during the New Year, but my family will know about it sooner or later.

"Husband, something Doctor Gu said made you sad, right?" Yu Yuanzheng asked after they got on the carriage and walked some distance.

Shangguan Ziqi gently embraced the person in his arms.

"Madam, it's great to have you. Otherwise I would have seen the King of Hell." Shangguan Ziqi said the same words again.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuanzheng felt that in addition to feeling relieved, he was also sad.

"It was my aunt who wanted to harm me." Shangguan Ziqi said these words with difficulty.

"It must be her." Yu Yuanzheng confirmed her guess.

"Before you woke up, the Third Prince once brought a doctor to see you. Now I understand why.

She was just afraid that if you stopped allowing Doctor Gu to treat you, you would be out of her control and wake up.

Fortunately, my mother and I came back that time, which delayed the time and prevented the incident from happening, so that the Third Prince would not succeed.

Unfortunately, the Third Prince acted too quickly and killed the man on the spot, leaving no evidence."

When Yu Yuanzheng talked about that incident, she still felt a little scared when she thought about it now.

"Why did you kill me, aunt?"
