Lu Min listened to every word, and before he could even speak, he was already covered in cold sweat.
What should he say to avoid incurring the wrath of others?
Chu Yuan watched coldly, and unsurprisingly, she was disappointed in Lu Min.
This is a cowardly and incompetent father who only knows how to protect himself. If he had been more assertive and manly, Fang would not have dared to do anything to the original owner and her aunt.
Chu Yuan could only weakly speak up, "Your Majesty, Zi Cao, who was by Consort Xin's side, saw the situation most clearly at the time. I won't say more. I believe Your Majesty will be able to get the truth out of Zi Cao."
After a moment's hesitation, Emperor Xian of Wei ordered the purple herb to be taken to the Censorate.
Chu Yuan watched as Zi Cao was taken away. To be honest, she felt no remorse whatsoever. Zi Cao may have looked kind-hearted, but that couldn't erase the fact that she was an accomplice.
If she hadn't known about what happened today beforehand and hadn't gotten rid of Hu Yong, she would be the one who deserves sympathy!
The results came out quickly. Upon learning the truth, Emperor Xian of Wei slammed his hand heavily on the tea table, causing the cups and plates on it to jump up.
Enraged, he spat out a few cold words through gritted teeth, "Zicao is to be beaten to death, Consort Xin is stripped of her title and rank, and banished to the Cold Palace. I never want to see her again!"
At the same moment, Chu Yuan finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Lu Min was closest to her and instinctively reached out to help, but Emperor Wei Xian beat him to it.
Emperor Wei held Chu Yuan in his arms. The little girl's face was pale and pitiful, and his expression became even more solemn. "Lu Min, you are the one to cure your daughter. If you can't, I will kill you!"
It turned out that they didn't want anyone other than Lu Min to touch Chu Yuan.
Lu Min wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward tremblingly, "Please, Your Majesty, find a place to lay Consort Ying down first."
"Leave Luhai and set up the Yangxin Hall."
He didn't want to stay in this Qilin Palace for even a quarter of an hour longer; the mere sight of the word "Qilin" was irritating.
"Li Luhai, take down the plaque and burn it!" Emperor Xian of Wei, with his strong arms, carried Chu Yuan and rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation without stopping.
The palace was spacious, and the journey was not short, but he carried it steadily the whole time, never asking anyone else to help.
He felt guilty for having doubted and almost wronged Chu Yuan earlier.
At that moment, his mind was perfectly clear.
That Xin Jieyu, if she weren't pregnant, she wouldn't even be as good as Chu Yuan.
He was wrong...
Chu Yuan finally endured the turbulence and comfortably lay down on the dragon bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Lu Min pressed Chu Yuan's pulse, his heart pounding like a drum, unable to calm down at all. He wondered if he had made a mistake by never taking this illegitimate daughter to heart for so many years.
How could the Emperor value Yuan'er so highly?!
Even without children, this level of attention is enough to bring honor to the family and generate many benefits!
It wasn't until Emperor Wei Xian urged him that Lu Min managed to calm himself down and steady his trembling fingertips to feel Chu Yuan's faint pulse.
But soon, he became even more exaggerated than Physician Zhang, as if the pulse under his hand had become a raging flood. He suddenly released his grip and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, I am of limited knowledge and skill. I cannot diagnose Her Majesty's pulse!"
