But unexpectedly, Su Liluo exposed it.
"Changning, considering this is your first offense, you are hereby punished with a month of confinement, and you are to copy the 'Admonitions for Women' and 'Palace Rules' one hundred times each! As for this Su something-or-other, guards, throw her out of the palace! And give her ten lashes!"
Emperor Wenjian coldly gave an order.
He originally intended to give Su Wanshi twenty lashes, but considering that she had introduced a doctor to Changning and cured her face, he decided to reduce the punishment by ten lashes.
Changning gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Wanshi remained silent and fainted again from fright.

"Crown Princess, how will you prove that Princess Cheng is under the influence of a curse?"

"Your Majesty, I once learned of a method that involves soaking a person's wrist in a medicinal solution favored by Gu worms. The hand will change color, and the Gu worms will begin to jump and move around on the wrist. If we let Princess Cheng try it, we can find out."
Su Liluo continued.
This method was just told to her by the spirit, and she had not yet seen any records of Gu worms in the medical books she was currently reading.

Princess Cheng immediately agreed as soon as Su Liluo finished speaking.
Although she didn't know why Su Liluo wanted to help her, she would never give up now that there was a way to prove her innocence.

Therefore, Emperor Wenjian had no choice but to agree to let Su Liluo give it a try.
Soon, the imperial physicians prepared the necessary medicinal materials and made the medicine according to Su Liluo's requirements.
Princess Cheng rolled up her sleeves and without hesitation soaked her entire wrist in the water.
