I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Mu Junxi was the youngest, unlike Mu Junhan and Mu Junchen, and was often not in the palace.
He lived in the prince's quarters, making him the most convenient place for them to take action.
No matter how the Empress targeted her in the past, she could endure it for the sake of the General's Mansion and her maternal family.
Now they've harmed her child.
She would never sit idly by and wait for her fate again.
Consort Shu knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, "Your Majesty, who is trying to harm our Xi'er?"
"Xi'er was a bit naughty when she was little, but now she knows how to work hard."
“Last time, when the Crown Prince of Xia came to make things difficult for Xi’er and deliberately tried to embarrass her, Xi’er was already able to answer fluently.”
"Xi'er has worked so hard, who would want to harm him?"
"If Qianqian hadn't accidentally spilled that bowl of medicine today, I really can't imagine what would have happened to Xi'er after she took it."
"Your Majesty, these people are so vicious! Why don't they even spare a child?"
"If they really want people dead, then take my life instead. Don't hurt my Xi'er."
"Xi'er still has a high fever, how can she withstand these things..."
[Daddy, my arm is itchy and hurts.]
Mu Qianqian also started crying, and she cried so miserably.
It seems it wasn't an allergic reaction in my arm, but rather that someone actually chopped it off.
Emperor Yuanwu, who was already furious, felt even more irritated upon hearing Mu Qianqian's cries.
"Physician Li, what exactly is going on?"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I truly do not know how cinnamon came into this medicine. I merely brought in the prepared medicine." Imperial Physician Li cried out to heaven and earth, his sobs more pitiful than those of Dou E.
"Imperial Physician Li, you are the best in the Imperial Hospital. You brought this medicine all the way here, didn't you smell the cinnamon in it?" Consort Shu's sobs faltered. "I hope you can give a reasonable explanation and not just find someone in the Imperial Hospital to take the blame."
Physician Li's pupils dilated sharply, and a chill ran down his spine.
He seemed not to have expected that Consort Shu would think of this aspect.
Emperor Yuanwu remained silent, his gloomy gaze fixed on him.
"Your Majesty...I..." Imperial Physician Li stammered, unable to speak for a long time: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine..."
At that very moment.
Physician Xie had already prepared the medicine and walked over to Mu Qianqian, applying the medicine to her arm.
The cool touch did indeed alleviate a lot of the pain, itching, and burning sensation on her arm.
The governess also watched over him and brewed another bowl of medicine. After Physician Xie examined it and confirmed that there were no problems, she gave it to Mu Junxi with peace of mind.
Seeing that both children were alright.
Consort Shu was completely relieved.
"Your Majesty, Physician Li is now the head of the Imperial Hospital. I really can't understand how the Fifth Prince, a mere child, could have such a grudge against Physician Li, and why he's determined to kill him. Could it be that someone is behind this?" Consort Shu cried uncontrollably, "Please, Your Majesty, you must do justice for the Fifth Prince!"
"Imperial Physician Li, now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say? If you are willing to reveal the mastermind behind this today, I might spare your life." Emperor Yuanwu's body trembled.
Imperial Physician Li lowered his eyes, as if deep in thought. His gaze flickered slightly. "Your Majesty..."
