Ye Qingcheng began to administer acupuncture to the Empress Dowager, and soon the Empress Dowager fell into a deep sleep.
After the Empress Dowager went to sleep.
The Emperor instructed Granny Hua and the maids to keep a close watch on things.
Then he led everyone out of the palace.
"Dr. Ye, Physician Fang, you two, come with me."
"yes."
Ye Qingcheng and Physician Fang followed the Emperor to the Imperial Study.
As soon as the group entered the imperial study, the emperor slammed his hand on the table.
"You audacious Physician Ye, do you know your crime?"
The Emperor's sudden action startled Ye Qingcheng, Physician Fang, and Eunuch Yin.
However, Ye Qingcheng was a former special agent with excellent mental fortitude. She quickly suppressed her fear and knelt down.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I do not know your words."
"Don't know? Hmph, tell me, who exactly are you?"
"As I said before, I am just a female doctor."
"Medical woman?"
"Exactly."
"How dare you! Even at a time like this, you still dare to lie to me? Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
"Hmph, I wouldn't dare. Speak! Who are you? Why does the Empress Dowager value you so highly? What kind of sorcery have you cast on my mother?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng rolled her eyes, utterly speechless.

"Injustice? Hmph, fine, then tell me who you are?"

"Good, good, very good! Guards! Take this demoness to the dungeon and interrogate her properly."
Ye Qingcheng was speechless after hearing this.
Seriously?! Is the Emperor out of his mind? I'm risking my life to save the Empress Dowager, doesn't he realize? It really is like walking on thin ice while serving a king.
"emperor…"
However, upon seeing this, Physician Fang hurriedly called out.
"What does Physician Fang want to say?"
"Your Majesty, please spare Physician Ye. I have witnessed Physician Ye's dedication to saving the Empress Dowager. She is definitely not some kind of witch."
"Oh! No?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I guarantee it with my life."
"Hehe! Physician Fang, if you hadn't pleaded for me, I would have almost forgotten that you were the one who suggested Physician Ye and that you were the one who found him. It seems that you are in cahoots with him."
"Fine! I trusted you so much, and you dared to conspire with this vixen to deceive me and plot against the Empress Dowager! You have no fear whatsoever!"
"Guards, take Physician Fang away and behead him tomorrow at noon."
Upon hearing this, Physician Fang trembled and immediately knelt down, cold sweat pouring down his face: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
