Xia Zhengqi's tone was filled with regret: "Mr. Wei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up your sad memories."
[Woqu, Daddy, you did it on purpose! Tsk tsk tsk, your acting is pretty good!]
Xia Miaoyuan was held by the prince. She used her little hands to play with the gold embroidery on her brother's robe, while looking at Xia Zhengqi and Wei Han.
"Nothing, nothing, it's nothing. It's been four years." Wei Han calmed down and took a sip of tea.
Wei Sanchuan sighed: "Your Majesty, you don't know that my third sister is the youngest child in the family and the most beloved by her parents."
"My father worried about her marriage back then, and he carefully selected Lord Liu Hong as the perfect match."
Xia Zhengqi suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now. You do have a sister who married Lord Liu."
Wei Sanchuan nodded and continued, "Third sister Yu'er is following Lord Liu, and the couple is harmonious. It is originally very good."
"Who would have thought that four years ago, she would suddenly die at the age of 27."
"My father and mother are heartbroken because of this."
[What do you mean by sudden death? It's all because that ruthless Liu Hong poisoned the food.]
Xia Miaoyuan recalled the plot in the book and said indignantly.
After being poisoned for several days, a healthy woman suddenly fell ill and could not be cured.
【In five days, he died.】
Xia Zhengqi and the prince were shocked when they heard Xia Miaoyuan's words.
"Oh, he's only 27 years old. What a pity." Xia Zhengqi said with regret in his tone.
"Were there any signs before your sister passed away? Could it be that she had suffered from some disease before, but was careless and didn't pay attention?" The prince asked deliberately.
Wei Han lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Yu'er has been in good health since she was a child. She also pays attention to maintenance and has never had any serious illness..."
Wei Han hesitated to speak, as if trying to suppress his emotions. He paused and said, "I guess she has bad luck!"
"What did the doctor say?" Xia Zhengqi looked at Wei Han with concern.
"I invited doctors from the public and even the imperial physician, but they all said there was nothing they could do..." Wei Sanchuan seemed to be recalling the sad past, his expression slightly sad.
【Hmph, what's the incurable thing?】
Xia Miaoyuan rolled his eyes.
Liu Hong pretended to invite two doctors, secretly giving them money to make them say this deliberately.
[Wei Yu'er is suffering from poisoning, not a complicated disease. Even an ordinary doctor can tell it's poisoning.]
Three days after Wei Yu'er was poisoned, the Wei family heard that their daughter was seriously ill and went to visit her. They were quite critical of their son-in-law, so Liu Hong had no choice but to invite the imperial physician to treat her.
Xia Zhengqi listened attentively to his daughter's thoughts and said deliberately, "Oh? Even the imperial physician says it's incurable. It must be a very difficult disease."
Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips.
[The imperial physician Liu Hong hired was naturally one of his own.]
I remember that he hired the renowned Imperial Physician An. While he appeared to be highly skilled in the Imperial Hospital, he was actually only interested in fame and gain.
Doctor An? Xia Zhengqi was stunned.
Doctor An is one of the best doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Imperial Physician An had long since joined the Jiang family for fame and fortune. He had done many evil things for both the Empress Dowager and the treacherous concubine.
Liu Hong asked him to treat Wei Yu'er, but even without Liu Hong saying anything, Grand Tutor Jiang had already hinted to him that he must not reveal the true cause of Wei Yu'er's illness and must not save her.
When Xia Miaoyuan recalled this, he couldn't help but breathe out heavily.
Xia Zhengqi picked up the teacup, lifted the lid and skimmed off the tea foam, pretending to drink tea, but in fact he was already very excited.
I didn't expect that there was such a heartless person like Doctor An hidden in the Imperial Hospital of Daxia.
"What they say is incurable? That's all a lie!"
A sharp shout cut through the oppressive air in the main hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy about ten years old with a red face walking hurriedly towards the main hall.
Behind him were two panting maids.
With a thud, the boy knelt at Xia Zhengqi's feet: "You are the emperor, right? Please grant me justice!"
Wei Han and Wei Sanchuan's faces turned pale with fright.
Wei Sanchuan rushed over quickly and covered the boy's mouth with his hand.
Wei Han forced an awkward smile and explained to Xia Zhengqi, "The child was ignorant and disturbed the Holy Emperor. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
At this time, a graceful and wealthy old lady ran into the main hall with small steps, her old face flushed red.
She suppressed her frightened expression and bowed to Xia Zhengqi and the Crown Prince: "I have failed to discipline my grandson well. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
"This is my mother." Wei Sanchuan introduced her to Xia Zhengqi.
"Oh, it's Madam Wei. Please stand up quickly." Xia Zhengqi smiled slightly, raised his hand and gestured to Madam Wei.
"Then this child is your grandson, Mr. Wei?" Xia Zhengqi looked at Wei Han.
"Well, he is my grandson and Yu'er's only son." Wei Han pretended to be calm.
"So you are Lord Liu's eldest son. Get up quickly, Sanchuan, and stop covering his mouth." Xia Zhengqi looked at the boy kindly.
"I have always liked children and have always been tolerant towards them. This is nothing for children. I won't blame them." Xia Zhengqi curled his lips.
[Ah! Wei Yuer's child!?]
After hearing Wei Han's introduction, Xia Miaoyuan's big dark eyes suddenly widened and she looked at the boy carefully.
