Looking at Luanfeng, who was covered in blood and unconscious, Zhan Yin felt an overwhelming surge of anger and heartache.
"Give her to me, I can cure her!"
Chu Wanwan, dressed as a maid, stood behind Zhan Yin and spoke.
Zhan Yin glanced at Chu Wanwan and nodded.
It was Chu Wanwan who told him about Princess Lingyue's conspiracy, which allowed him to return in time. Otherwise, Luan'er might have been beaten half to death.
Although this woman's origins are unknown, there's nothing about her that I can't trust!
He handed the phoenix to Chu Wanwan, then turned around abruptly, glaring at the God Emperor, and questioned, "Your Majesty, what crime has the phoenix committed to deserve such severe punishment!"
The God Emperor frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Her medical skills are lacking. She mistakenly mixed poisonous herbs into the princess's medicine, almost killing her. I have already shown leniency and spared her life."
Zhan Yin clenched his fists and said loudly, "Your Majesty is wise. Luan Feng is a skilled physician with a kind heart and virtue. She would never do such a thing."
The God Emperor looked at Zhan Yin's resolute eyes, his brows furrowing slightly. "Zhan Yin, are you questioning me?"
Zhan Yin did not back down and met the God Emperor's gaze directly. "Your Majesty, I dare not question Your Majesty, but there are many suspicious points in this matter. I know best about Luan Feng's dedication and caution in medical studies, and she would never make such a basic mistake."
"I believe Your Majesty can clearly see the reason for this!"
"Brother A-Yin, what do you mean by this? It's clearly Luan Feng who's jealous that I hit her, so she deliberately poisoned me to try and harm me! Brother A-Yin, you can't smear me just because you like that woman!"
Lingyue looked at Zhanyin with hurt in her eyes, which were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Your subject dares not!" Zhan Yin did not look at Ling Yue, but stared intently at the God Emperor.
The God Emperor glanced at Zhan Yin, then at Ling Yue, who was lying on the bed, her face pale and biting her lip as she looked at Zhan Yin. He sighed softly and said, "Come with me!"
Zhan Yin looked at Luan Feng on the ground and saw that she had woken up. "Luan'er, wait for me here!"
"good!"
Luanfeng nodded gently.
Only Luanfeng, Chu Wanwan, Lingyue, and her maids remained in the room.
The physicians at the Imperial Hospital all left the room the moment Lingyue woke up.
"Ha! Luanfeng, you're lucky I didn't kill you this time! But don't be too happy! I'm Father Emperor's only daughter. Even if he knew I was behind this, he wouldn't let you off the hook!"
"Because he's afraid! Afraid that I'll do anything for Ah Yin!"
"Father will definitely bestow a marriage upon me and Brother A-Yin. Even if Brother A-Yin doesn't like me, he wouldn't dare to disobey, because he's afraid Father will harm you!"
"Hahaha... Luanfeng, you are destined not to have Brother Ayin, he is mine!"
Lingyue's maniacal laughter echoed in the room, but Luanfeng simply watched her quietly, without the slightest fear in her eyes.
“Princess Lingyue, do you think you can get what you want through such means?” Luanfeng’s voice was weak, but it carried a firmness. “Even if Zhanyin is forced to marry you, you won’t win his heart! Your actions will only make him hate you more!”
"Luan Feng!"
Lingyue glared angrily and pointed at Luanfeng, saying:
"You're just a lowly healer, what right do you have to judge me? I am a princess, and there's nothing I can't get if I want it. Brother A-Yin will be moved by me sooner or later, just you wait and see."
Luanfeng raised her chin slightly and replied without showing any weakness, "Princess, love cannot be forced. Zhanyin has me in his heart, and even if you use every means, you cannot change his mind."
Chu Wanwan watched the two men's tense standoff from the side and sighed inwardly.
She quietly tugged at Luanfeng's sleeve and shook her head at him.
Luanfeng then realized that she had lost her temper and what was the point of arguing with the spoiled and domineering Princess Lingyue? She would only be accused of disrespect and punished, which would be a huge loss.
The phoenix fell silent.
Lingyue turned her gaze to Chu Wanwan, stunned by Chu Wanwan's beauty. She had always thought that Luanfeng's beauty was already among the best in the divine realm, but she never expected that the maidservant beside Luanfeng would be even more beautiful than Luanfeng.
Importantly, she was a maidservant brought by Zhan Yin.
Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose within her. Such stunning beauty would even leave her speechless. Spending so much time by Zhan Yin's side, it was inevitable that Zhan Yin would be moved.
Moreover, she had never seen Zhan Yin with a woman by his side, and even the servants around him were all male. The fact that he could bring this female servant with him was not simple in itself.
"Who are you?" Lingyue looked at Chu Wanwan with hostility.
Chu Wanwan was completely bewildered by Ling Yue's gaze. How could this spoiled princess have shifted her focus to her so quickly? She was just a lowly maidservant; she hadn't done anything wrong, had she?
He shouldn't have caught the princess's eye!
Chu Wanwan lowered her head slightly and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, I am a new maid from Kunpeng Palace, and my name is Chu Wanwan."
Kunpeng Palace is Zhan Yin's bedroom. Zhan Yin is an orphan. Because his divine root is a supreme divine root, he was adopted by the God Emperor from a young age and has always lived in the God Palace.
After discovering Ling Yue's plot, Chu Wanwan initially intended to tell Luan Feng. However, she considered that Luan Feng was just a lowly physician with no power or influence in the Divine Palace, so even if she knew about Ling Yue's scheme, it would be difficult for her to do anything.
So she turned around and went to Kunpeng Palace, found the God of War, and told him about Lingyue's conspiracy.
These days, she has been walking around the Divine Palace as a maid of Kunpeng Palace, and her main task is to secretly observe when Lingyue will make her move.
This morning, after discovering that Lingyue had been poisoned, Chu Wanwan immediately went to find Zhanyin. Unfortunately, Zhanyin had gone to the Divine Weapon Camp and had not returned, which delayed things and gave Lingyue the opportunity to make trouble for Luanfeng.
Now, if she says she's a new palace maid at Kunpeng Palace, no one will doubt her.
Lingyue narrowed her eyes, sizing up Chu Wanwan. "Hmph, a new maid? I don't think you're that simple. What's your purpose in getting close to Brother Ayin?"
Chu Wanwan quickly said, "Princess, you misunderstand. I was only saved by General Zhan by chance. To repay the life-saving grace, I followed the general to serve him. I have no other purpose."
Lingyue clearly didn't believe her. "Do you think I would believe you? You look so seductive, you must be trying to seduce Brother Ayin."
Chu Wanwan felt helpless, but could only continue to explain: "Your Highness is too kind. Being good-looking is a gift from my parents, not my fault! I would never dare to have such improper thoughts."
