Wei Shuyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a lake blue palace dress standing outside the Imperial Hospital.
Jiang Yuanzheng immediately suppressed his arrogant look and went to greet her with flattery: "Of course, the body of Empress Zhaoyi should be given priority. I am in no hurry to return."
"Then follow me."
A large group of people went outside, as if it was a great honor to take a closer look at Rong Zhaoyi's beautiful face.
Wei Shuyi followed at the end of them and saw Dean Jiang taking the patient's pulse through the curtain of the sedan chair. After whispering a few words of advice, he straightened his back, his face still solemn.
"Your Highness, the Concubine Zhaoyi is in good health. If you wish to continue recuperating, I can prescribe some medicine for you. Just take it on time."
"Thank you, Doctor Jiang."
The aura that belongs only to Rong Zhaoyi is enough to intimidate people even through the curtain.
Before Jiang Yuanzheng could leave, she raised her voice and asked, "I just passed by the Imperial Hospital and there was a lot of noise inside. What's going on?"
"To answer your Majesty, there is a young lady who refuses to listen and insists on causing trouble! It's not a big deal, I have already taken care of it."
Wei Shuyi was just about to think of a way to refute him, to prevent him from making a big deal out of a small matter, but he heard a light laugh coming from the sedan chair.
"Is it the one who caused the trouble?"
"Your Majesty is wise! It is that young lady! Instead of rushing to investigate the case, she comes to the Imperial Hospital to play tricks on us. I am truly helpless!"
Jiang Yuanzheng sensed a sense of recognition and quickly vented all his dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, this was met with a rebuke from Rong Zhaoyi: "Your Majesty has given her three days to uncover the truth, and no one is allowed to disobey! I wonder what she has done, and who she has tricked, to put Imperial Physician Jiang in such a difficult position."
The female general of Humen shouted so loudly that the big man fell to the ground!
Jiang Yuanzheng, who had been so arrogant before, quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not! I am just old and my eyes are blurry. I can't find what my lady wants at the moment, so..."
"Are the people following you here just for free? If you can't find it by yourself, won't they help you?"
The continuous questioning made everyone panic.
Wei Shuyi had only met this Concubine Zhaoyi once, and he never dreamed that she would actually help him!
Soon, several people brought a booklet recording the use of medicinal materials and handed it over respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have found what you are looking for."
"The director is old and has forgotten things. You are young, how can you be so confused?" Rong Zhaoyi lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out. "When did I ask for the Imperial Hospital's things?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I know I was wrong!"
Then, someone knelt and handed the booklet to Wei Shuyi.
She reached out to take it, and the group of people breathed a sigh of relief, bowed in tacit understanding, and retreated back into the house.
Wei Shuyi was in no hurry to read it, but bowed deeply to Rong Zhaoyi: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me."
"This isn't for you." She maintained her indifferent attitude, her arrogant gaze even disdainfully falling on Wei Shuyi. "This is just a way to accumulate virtue, so that you can live comfortably before you die."
"Are you so sure, Your Majesty, that I will die?"
"Silly girl, who do you think you've offended? Jiang Rulin is the Prime Minister's disciple, and behind him is the current Queen! Forget three days, even if you were given three more years, you wouldn't be able to find her flaws!"
Rong Zhaoyi seemed to have harbored resentment towards the Queen for a long time, and only when this person was mentioned did her emotions show obvious fluctuations.
If these words were spoken in public and heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a serious crime of slandering the Empress.
But she was not afraid and spoke frankly.
Wei Shuyi thanked her again: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I know what to do. I will give you an answer in three days as to whether I can escape this disaster."
"Okay, I'll be waiting."
The beautiful woman sat back in the sedan chair. After watching them leave, Wei Shuyi opened the booklet in his hand and carefully searched for the concubine who had used the two medicines.
Unfortunately, only a few concubines who were unwell and suffered from insomnia sent people to get herbal remedies, but no one sent people to get two herbs at the same time.
"My Lord, have you finished reading it? I have to prepare for the handover and take the book with me."
"Take it."
Wei Shuyi didn't look at the eyes of the people behind him. He walked through the corridor alone and returned to the familiar Lin'an Palace.
Before I even got close to Sang Yuxuan, I saw that the residence was brightly lit and I could faintly hear people arguing!
"My Lady! You're finally back! Song Wanyi sent people to search the palace and smashed our house to pieces!"
Jingning's eyes were red from crying, and she ran over in a hurry to complain.
The eunuchs who had not yet evacuated were cursing and swearing. Jing'an was responsible for standing in front of them and speaking to them in a gentle tone.
"Who gave you permission to search the palace at will?!"
"What Empress Wanyi meant, wouldn't Min agree to do otherwise?"
The leading eunuch didn't care and ordered his men to continue smashing the wooden bench.
Wei Shuyi rushed into the inner room in a few steps, drew out the sword used to ward off evil spirits, and pointed it directly at the arrogant and domineering slave!
She used some force, letting the tip of the sword cut the man's skin. "Empress Dowager, Queen, Your Majesty, no one ordered the palace servants to search Sang Yuxuan! You followed Song Wanyi's orders, but violated the palace rules. Do you really think I have no temper and can be manipulated by you guys at will?!"
"My dear, my dear, please don't be angry! I won't dare to do that anymore. Please don't kill me!"
"Have you found anything?" She asked coldly, as if she hadn't heard anything. "If there is any evidence, please hand it over to the emperor now. Someone will punish me. If not... Jing'an!"
"The servant is here."
"Send a few clever men to consult the Empress and the Queen Mother, and then hand them over to Your Majesty for disposal. They broke into the inner chambers of the imperial concubines and wantonly destroyed the tribute. I want to see if Empress Wanyi can save these loyal servants!"
The clues were interrupted several times and people made things difficult for him at every turn.
Wei Shuyi had already returned to the palace in anger. Now, looking at the dirty and messy Sang Yuxuan, she really had murderous intentions and was determined to make these people suffer the consequences!
"What are you arguing about! Isn't it enough that you killed He Changzai's child? Now you're disturbing her peace and quiet. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for her?!"
Song Wanyi arrived at the right time, glanced at the scratched eunuch, and shifted her gaze awkwardly.
"Wanyi should know exactly why I'm making so much noise." She put down her sword and stepped closer. "The Emperor hasn't tortured me yet, so there's no need to be so anxious."
"What do you think will happen in three days? Min promised that you will definitely pay for the emperor's life—"
Wei Shuyi looked at the smug smile in front of him and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
"What's the meaning!"
"This dynasty values the rule of law. Previously, high-ranking officials favored concubines over their wives, even killing their first wives. Your Majesty punished them severely, dismissed them from their posts, and investigated the case! If Wanyi accidentally killed me, what would Your Majesty do? I'd love to know."
After saying that, she turned the sword and cut a bloody wound on her forearm!
The crimson spread, scaring Song Wanyi so much that she screamed and stepped back!
"You, you are simply crazy! Go away! I will never be dragged down by such a lunatic!"
Those who came to cause trouble fled in panic.
Jing Ning nervously covered the wound with a handkerchief: "My lady, are you in pain? Sister, go find the imperial physician! My lady is injured!"
Jing'an agreed to go, but she didn't have any expectations.
She just offended the Imperial Hospital today, who would be willing to come and help her now? I wish she would bleed to death!
The moon was above the willows, and someone came with a gentle breeze: "Your servant Lu Xingzhou pays homage to Miss Min."
