Chapter 29: Action



In Cuiyun Palace, with the arrival of the emperor and empress, lights were lit everywhere.

The sky was turning slightly whiter, and the bloodstains in the outer courtyard were no longer as unclear as they had been at night.

When Doctor Chen stepped into the courtyard of the East Side Hall, he saw the shocking bloodstains that extended from the rockery to the main house of the courtyard. The emperor's anger had become increasingly frightening when the servants reported that Concubine Rou Gui hurriedly walked out with tears in her eyes and treated him coldly.

"Qingqing, what exactly happened? Didn't it say that the princess remembered something bit by bit, and dismissed everyone to recall it quietly?" The queen sat upright on the couch, her tone solemn.

"Yes!" Qingqing knelt below with a sad face.

The emperor, who was sitting side by side with the empress, was silently waiting for the result of the empress's questioning, while looking at Concubine Rou with concern. However, when he saw the pain on Concubine Rou's face, but she ignored him, he couldn't help but become more irritable.

"What happened? Why did you say something to the princess that involves her life?" The queen observed the emperor's little movements and her sister's unhappy interactions. As for Ting'er, although they knew this would happen, they didn't know that she would be injured so badly. Whether this was planned or unexpected was not the most important thing at this moment.

Ting'er has already become like this this time, so she cannot let this injury go without the best comfort.

"To answer the Empress, the princess did remember some fragments. At that time, she had a splitting headache and was very angry. I only know that the princess kept saying that she had always been tolerant and endured all kinds of things. Even though her life was worse than that of a servant and she was taken advantage of, she never put up a single resistance. She did it just for the well-being of the Imperial Concubine. Why did she still have to die?" Qingqing said this half-truthfully. Thinking of the fact that the princess was pushed into the water and drowned, she felt very sad and her crying became heavier.

"In that case, Princess, now that you have remembered it, why do you still want to keep quiet?" The Queen frowned. If other people pointed out the loopholes in this plan, the meaning would change. Instead of that, it would be better for her to guide and fill in the gaps.

"Your Majesty, I was also in a hurry at that time. I wanted to report this matter to you, but the princess stopped me." Qingqing thought quickly and reported hastily.

At this moment, I caught a glimpse of Doctor Chen rushing over.

In my mind, I thought about the princess' words.

Doctor Chen's purpose is to make a deal with me. If I guess correctly, this deal belongs to me, and he is not a bad person. Today, although our accusation is useless, it also indirectly ties Doctor Chen and us together. At the critical moment, it may not be impossible to drag others into the water. He came to Cuiyun Palace at night, and he must have an excuse. Qingqing can handle the matter on her own at the critical moment.

If the imperial physician reveals the truth at this moment, it will be difficult for the princess to do anything in the future. The opportunity will be gone in a flash!

Qingqing sniffed, "Although the princess was angry, she didn't want to blame the good people because of her incomplete memory. In addition, the princess told me and Doctor Chen at the time that we must remember everything and not make any alarms! Giving her the drug is a small matter, but if someone did it without anyone noticing and had other intentions, the whole royal family and the harem would be in danger."

Doctor Chen saw a lot of blood in the house. When he heard Qingqing's words, he just twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't show any other expression.

The princess wanted Qingqing to send her away. Was this her intention? Was it not to test her, but to let more people know that he visited Cuiyun Palace at night?

Or was it through Qingqing that he determined the feasibility of the alliance? And now, the situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to ask for his help?

At this moment, if I deny it, then the excuse for entering the palace at night will become a lie, and if I don't deny it, then we are really tied together. Regardless of whether the Second Princess is willing to trade or not, I can't overturn my statement this time. The Second Princess is not as simple as I see. The one who is plotting against the tiger may not be the Second Princess, but myself.

"Is this true?" The Queen raised her voice a little and looked at Doctor Chen.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the Emperor and Empress!" Imperial Physician Chen bowed to the Emperor and Empress.

"Dr. Chen has arrived just in time." The Queen did not ask Dr. Chen to get up. "You came to Cuiyun Palace at night, but is there something wrong with the princess's condition? Is what Qingqing said true?"

At this moment, Qingqing was also nervous and held her breath, fearing that Doctor Chen would lose his coordination in the battle. After all, the bet on Doctor Chen was entirely based on the princess's guess. If the princess guessed wrong, this game, even if she could save the situation, might not be so easy.

"To reply to the Queen, it is absolutely true!"

Following Doctor Chen's words, Qingqing's anxious heart finally settled down a little.

"Before, I said that the princess's pulse was abnormal. It was only in recent days that I realized something was wrong." Imperial Physician Chen took the opportunity to bring up his previous inconsistent statements with those of the other imperial physicians and used them as evidence.

Concubine Lixian's face turned pale. If her memory came back to her, then what happened on that day would be terrible.

Pretending to remain calm, Princess Lixian kept telling herself to stay calm, and that the things she had planned before would definitely be trusted, and she kept giving herself confidence.

"Go on!" The emperor, who had been silent all this time, said with a dark face, his hands clasped tightly on the table, veins bulging.

"The princess is seriously poisoned. This poison is extremely dangerous and lurks in her body. If it hadn't taken effect, the poison would have been impossible to detect." Doctor Chen reported to the emperor in a clear and decisive manner, "The princess drowned before, and it may have been because of the poison that she fainted, which led the criminals to mistakenly believe that the princess was dead, allowing her to escape."

"Bad guy?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, seemingly puzzled.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I found out that the princess was poisoned and reported it to her overnight. From her repeated words, I learned that her falling into the water was not an accident. I'm afraid that the poison is the best proof." Doctor Chen was neither humble nor arrogant. He was not as angry as Concubine Rougui, nor as anxious as the empress. His calmness made his words more credible.

"It's just that the princess was fine when I left, but why is there this bloodstain?" Doctor Chen paused and said, "Your Majesty, please let me treat the princess first, and don't let others do it."

There seemed to be a hidden meaning in what Doctor Chen said. The people present were not stupid either. They looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was lying weak and pale on the bed, thoughtfully. Each of them had his own thoughts.

Following the emperor's nod, Imperial Physician Chen hurriedly approached Zong Zheng Xiaoting, took his pulse, but frowned.
