Xia Miaoyuan was complaining to himself when he heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
"Mother! Mother! Let us in!"
"Father, please release Mother!"
The shouting voices of a man and a woman came from outside.
[Is this fake twin boy and girl?] Xia Miaoyuan complained while chewing on a jujube paste cake.
What? Fake twins? What does that mean?
Prince Jing looked confused.
Does false twins mean that the two children are not born together?
Eunuch Debao hurried to check and reported to Xia Zhengqi: "Prince Hai and Princess Yuexin have arrived and are clamoring to come in at the inner courtyard gate."
"Let them wait there quietly. Once the matter is clarified, they will naturally be allowed to see the princess." Xia Zhengqi said coldly.
[Hehe, it feels like Daddy is getting more and more handsome now that he's in charge!]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Xia Zhengqi standing in the flower hall with a decisive and capable look, and couldn't help but praise him.
[As expected of this princess's father.]
Xia Zhengqi felt very happy when he heard his daughter praising him.
Xia Zhengqi: My dear daughter, daddy will definitely keep up the good work.
Just as Xia Zhengqi was lost in his daughter's praise, Ying Chen arrived with a report: "When our subordinates rushed to the witch doctor's clinic, they confiscated poisons, banned drugs, and various harmful sorcery tools. We also found the exact same silver needle."
Prince Jing's eyes lit up. "What? Is the Emperor so amazing? He's already found Wu Shanren!"
Xia Miaoyuan was also surprised when he heard Wu Shanren's name.
【Oh my god, Daddy, you really impressed me! 】
[I never expected it, I never expected it, Daddy had already found out about Wu Shanren. Is he still the weak emperor in the book who was deceived by treacherous ministers?]
Xia Zhengqi nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Did he confess?"
"I admit it."
When Prince Jing and Xia Zhengqi heard this, they all showed a cheerful expression. However, Yang, who was tied to the chair, had beads of sweat on her forehead.
Xia Zhengqi then ordered someone to bring Madam Lu and Wu Shanren to the entrance of the flower hall.
[Woqu, are we going to have a confrontation right here and now?] Xia Miaoyuan grinned happily.
Soon, the two men were dragged to the door of the hall.
Madam Lu collapsed and was carried to the ground by two guards. Wu Shanren only had one side of his face swollen. He knelt obediently on the ground, shouting "Long live!"
[It seems the old woman is quite stubborn, but Wu Shanren is quite sensible.] Xia Miaoyuan analyzed the two people's situations.
"Are you Wu Shanren?" Xia Zhengqi asked coldly.
"I am Doctor Wu Shanren from the Witch Doctor Clinic." Wu Shanren replied with his head lowered.
Xia Zhengqi pointed at Madam Lu and asked, "Take a good look at her. Did you sell the silver needle to her eighteen years ago?"
Nanny Lu, who had been sprawled on the ground, raised her head after hearing this and frantically explained, "Your Majesty, I know this man very well, and I have never bought anything from him."
"I'm asking about him, shut up!" Xia Zhengqi winked at the guards, and someone immediately stuffed a piece of rag into Lu Ma's mouth.
Wu Shanren quickly said in a flattering tone, "Your Majesty, I did sell silver needles eighteen years ago. Since very few people bought these ox-hair silver needles, I was deeply impressed."
"I remember she was a maid from a wealthy family. I can't quite recall her appearance. I only remember she had a black mole on her chin, and two hairs growing from it."
The guards around Madam Lu immediately lifted her head and showed it to everyone.
Xia Miaoyuan opened her eyes wide and looked toward the door. "Oh, there really is a black mole! There are even two hairs on it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, 18 years later, and the mole is still there."
"Wuwuwu..." Ma Lu shook her head desperately.
Xia Zhengqi winked at the guard, who removed the gag from Madam Lu's mouth.
"Your Majesty, even if you beat me to death, I will never admit that I bought the silver needles..."
As soon as the gag was removed, Madam Lu blurted out.
But halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag because she was too nervous, and she quickly swallowed the second half of her words.
[Hahaha, are all the villain's minions so stupid?] Xia Miaoyuan puffed out the cake crumbs.
Prince Jing was so angry that he gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He slapped Yang with all his strength, and Yang fell down along with the chair.
"You vicious woman! Back then, you were jealous that Liuyun gave birth to a son before you, so you killed Chengguang!"
Prince Jing's body was shaking violently and he was breathing heavily.
"You are so cruel. Chengguang is only one year old!"
With a "Pooh" sound, Yang spat out the blood in her mouth.
"Hmph! So what if I did it? That brat deserves to die!" Yang said with a ferocious face.
"We clearly agreed that she and I would both be concubines when we entered the palace. How could she, the daughter of a wet nurse, become the principal wife?"
[Yang Peixin, are you stupid? The emperor is willing to hold his own white moonlight! What can you compare with him?]
"Mother! Mother!"
When Xia Chenghai and Xia Yuexin heard the noise in the flower hall, they immediately started shouting again.
"Oh no! The princess fainted!"
Suddenly, there were shouts of surprise from the servants outside.
Xia Zhengqi glanced at Debao, and Debao immediately ran to check.
A moment later, Debao directed two maids to carry Xia Yuexin to the flower hall.
Xia Chenghai also followed behind in a panic, with a worried look on his face.
As soon as Eunuch Debao stopped walking, he said to Xia Zhengqi, "Your Majesty, Princess Yuexin just fainted."
Prince Jing hurried over distressed, shook the princess's shoulders and called out, "Yue Xin, Yue Xin, wake up!"
"How is my Yue Xin?" Yang, who was lying on the ground, said in a crying voice.
"Quickly put the princess on the chair and call the imperial physician!" Xia Zhengqi ordered in a deep voice.
The two maids hurriedly put Xia Yuexin on the chair and let her lean crookedly against the back of the chair.
Xia Chenghai, who was following behind, squatted on the ground, holding Xia Yuexin's hand and stroking it, tears in the corners of his eyes, and murmured: "Yuexin, wake up, don't scare your brother."
[The princess is so weak, did she faint from all this excitement?]
Xia Miaoyuan turned over, knelt on the chair, climbed down from the chair, and staggered over: "Sister... Sister..."
[Let me take a look. Is Xia Yuexin pretending to be unconscious?]
Xia Miaoyuan observed Xia Yuexin carefully. Suddenly, when her eyes swept across Xia Yuexin's neck, she was shocked to find that there was a big purple strawberry mark on the back of Xia Yuexin's neck.
[Ahhhhhhhh!] Xia Miaoyuan was a little flustered for a moment.
[Oh my, how could I have forgotten that she also performed fake orthopedics in the book!]
Xia Zhengqi and King Jing: What is pseudo-orthopedics?
