Bai Zhirou naturally had no way of revealing her systematic secret, she just stared at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother recalled the first time she met Bai Zhirou. She was dizzy at the time and could not control her words and actions.
But after meeting Bai Zhirou, everything seemed to be getting better, and the duration of her illness became shorter and shorter.
She felt that she was blessed by Bai Zhirou.
The Queen Mother thought for a moment, and helped Bai Zhirou up in the Queen's surprised gaze.
"You are a lucky person. Now the Third Prince is in critical condition, and the imperial doctors are helpless. If you have any ideas, please do as you wish."
The Queen Mother spoke slowly, her voice old yet with a hint of tenderness, which made Bai Zhirou feel sad.
At this moment, the Queen Mother is just an old grandmother who loves her grandchildren.
Chen Zhao didn't know why Bai Zhirou said that, but he inexplicably believed this confident and calm girl.
Their eyes met in the air, and Shen Zhao took her slightly cold hand and walked towards the Third Prince's bed.
"Mother, this is too ridiculous! Mingzhu is just a little girl after all. How could she have any way to save the third prince?" The queen was still stubborn. She didn't think that Bai Zhirou, a young girl from the countryside, could cure the poison that all the imperial doctors were helpless to cure.
The Crown Prince also frowned, "Grandmother, although Mingzhu is lucky, this concerns the life and death of my third brother. Please think twice!"
Both mother and son advised the Queen Mother, hoping that she would come to her senses.
"What if Mingzhu can't cure the prince?" Concubine Guo was also full of questions. When she saw Bai Zhirou kneeling in front of the third prince's bed, her heart was lifted.
The Queen Mother followed Bai Zhirou's footsteps. She had a strong intuition in her heart that Bai Zhirou had a way!
Bai Zhirou was holding a brown pill in her hand and pried open the Third Prince's mouth.
"This, this, Princess Mingzhu, what is this?" an imperial physician stepped forward and asked.
"Something that can save lives." Bai Zhirou didn't look away, but stared at the third prince.
"May I have a look at it, old minister?" The imperial physician tried to grab it with shaking hands, but he was not as quick as Bai Zhirou.
The pill has been stuffed into the third prince's mouth!
The imperial doctors were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they knelt on the ground trembling.
"Someone come! Princess Mingzhu intends to poison the third prince, arrest her!" The queen shouted, pointing her long armor at Bai Zhirou with a ferocious look.
Concubine Guo was frightened by her posture and looked at Bai Zhirou with uncertainty.
Is her prince really going to die?
Was it Bai Zhirou's doing?
Soon, a group of Yulin guards filed in and surrounded the bedroom tightly, with dozens of sharp swords pointing directly at Bai Zhirou!
Chen Zhao stood up and stood in front of Bai Zhirou.
His face was as calm as water, and his eyes contained a hint of anger!
"Empress, what do you mean? Even the Empress Dowager has never given the order to arrest Princess Mingzhu!" Shen Zhao asked in a deep voice.
He admired Bai Zhirou's courage. The third prince's life was hanging by a thread, and even if the imperial doctors racked their brains, they would not be able to prepare an antidote in a short time.
Who wouldn't want to stay away from something like this that concerns the life and death of the royal heir?
But his fiancée was as stubborn as iron.
He could only protect her.
The queen was choked by his words and realized that she had overstepped the boundaries. Neither the emperor nor the queen mother said anything.
"I saw with my own eyes that she fed poison to the Third Prince. If it wasn't poison, why didn't she dare to ask the imperial physician to check it?" The Queen was aggressive, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
The emperor cast an unhappy look at her, and she felt a chill all over her body, and she had some thoughts of retreating.
"Your Majesty, my mother is doing this entirely for my third brother's sake. I beg Your Majesty and your Majesty to forgive my mother this time." The prince bowed respectfully.
The emperor remained silent. He kept rubbing his fingers, and a feeling of sadness rose in his heart.
He had few descendants, and even fewer who were outstanding.
The Third Prince's recent performance made him happy, and he couldn't help but say a few more words, but he didn't expect to suffer such misfortune.
He felt that he had done too many wrong things when he was trying to seize the throne, and that God was punishing him by having his descendants take his punishment!
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen's face coldly. She was not worried about Bai Zhirou at all.
This kid can stand the test.
Someone shouted, "The third prince is awake!"
Everyone hurriedly looked towards the bed, and saw that the third prince had opened his eyes with difficulty, and light gradually gathered in his eyes.
The Third Prince has woken up! Bai Zhirou's medicine is working!
The queen paused and almost fell. She tried her best to steady herself and suppress her wildly beating heart.
Concubine Guo had already hurriedly laid down in front of the Third Prince's bed, crying and complaining, her words incoherent.
Only the empress dowager raised a relieved smile, her eyes met Bai Zhirou's, and she nodded approvingly.
The emperor waved his hand lightly, and the imperial guards retreated again, making the entire bedroom suddenly much more spacious.
Bai Zhirou relaxed her sweaty palms. She was extremely nervous just now. If she couldn't save the Third Prince's life, she would definitely be executed!
But she didn't look back!
"Grandmother! I told you Mingzhu has a solution, right?"
Chen Zhao pulled Bai Zhirou up from the ground.
"How come I remember that it was me who said this?" The Queen Mother said in pretended anger.
Shen Zhao scratched his head embarrassedly.
There was a harmonious atmosphere in the bedroom, except for the queen and the prince who had stiff faces and forced smiles.
"Why was the Queen so adamant just now that my medicine was ineffective on the Third Prince, and that I was even suspected of poisoning him?" Bai Zhirou stood up and stared at the Queen.
If it were someone else, they would have been dragged out and whipped for looking directly at the queen, but at this moment, no one remembered the rule and they all looked at the queen.
"I, I am merely raising my doubts! If Princess Mingzhu had nothing to hide, she could have asked the imperial physician to examine your medicine, but you didn't! What's wrong with me questioning you?"
The Queen was strong and calm. "Fortunately, the Third Prince is safe now, otherwise Princess Mingzhu would be under suspicion."
The imperial physician had already made a diagnosis for the Third Prince, and they were all amazed. People came in one after another, and they were all surprised that the Third Prince's poison could be completely cured in just one breath!
It’s amazing!
"Mingzhu is a blessed girl, so naturally her medicine is also blessed. This time it is the Third Prince who is blessed with good fortune and a long life, so Queen, please don't question it." The Queen Mother spoke, and the Queen could only nod in agreement.
The Third Prince's crisis was resolved, and it was already night when Bai Zhirou and Shen Zhao left the palace. She was so kind as to invite Shen Zhao to have dinner at the Princess's Mansion.
There were many people here today, so Bai Zhirou asked Mingcui to prepare some ingredients for the barbecue in the yard.
Although Shen Zhao was good at eating, drinking and having fun, he had never seen such behavior before.
The mutton was strung into skewers and roasted over the fire, and soon the fragrance filled the whole garden.
Everyone ate the meal with relish without even looking up.
