Disfigured Female Doctor 37
Being criticized, Chen Wanyue vented the anger in her heart and said, "Your Majesty... they were killed by my father."
"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Zhou Shi almost jumped up. "I don't know where you got that wooden sign from. Not only did you pretend to be my daughter, but you also framed me!"
"If it hasn't been done, Doctor Zhou doesn't need to be nervous." The emperor was already troubled by Xiao Zhaoming, and now Zhou Shi jumped out and yelled, "Please call a coroner."
"Yes." The young eunuch had cold sweat on his head and his legs were trembling.
"Wait." The emperor spoke again.
The young eunuch subconsciously stopped and turned back: "What else does your majesty want?"
"Where are the people?"
"The man fainted from fear over the corpse...evidence, and is being carried here."
"Um."
Xiao Zhaoming knelt on the ground with an upright posture, and Shen Wanyue kept coughing, like the background music in the palace.
When the young eunuch went out, he passed by the imperial physician invited by another eunuch and the person who was carried in.
Several people knelt and stood up only after the emperor signaled.
"His Majesty."
The emperor signaled to the imperial physician: "Wake him up."
"yes."
Zhou Shi's teeth were chattering with fear. He had killed so many people and was not afraid at all, but he was scared when his own life was threatened.
He turned around and saw the figure of the person being carried was very familiar...
When the people around him helped the man up, his eyes were closed, but his face was very familiar - it was his wife!
Did Your Majesty ask her to recognize Zhou Wan?
I couldn't help but feel a little scared. If that woman didn't think straight, wouldn't I be finished?
Even if the Queen Mother tried to protect herself, she could not escape the Emperor's punishment, not to mention that she was now implicated in murder...
But...how did the rebellious girl know the whereabouts of these people?
Suddenly, he thought of a candidate—Zhang Geng!
It must be him! Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I should have killed him. Now he has left the hidden danger and the rebellious girl alive to frame me.
Shen Wanyue was standing, but she was so weak that she couldn't help shaking.
"Don't move." Xiao Zhaoming beside her moved slightly closer to her, supporting her, and spoke in a light tone.
Chen Wanyue rolled her eyes: "My Lord, I really can't hold on any longer."
"Wait a moment." Xiao Zhaoming only left one sentence.
She took another deep breath.
It’s better to keep your brain active and not faint.
Hmm...think about where Zhou Wan's body was buried after I left? Speaking of which, Zhou Wan never appeared again after that rainstorm.
"Your Majesty, the patient has awakened." The imperial physician who was summoned suddenly spoke.
The emperor hummed.
Xiao Zhaoming calmly moved to the side, just in time to block Zhou Shi who was kneeling on the ground.
Chen Wanyue just glanced at him calmly.
She knew the person who fainted, it was Zhou Wan's mother.
Compared to what I remembered, his hair had turned a lot greyer and his face looked more haggard.
It seems that life in the capital is not going well.
Think about it, if someone can be so cruel to his own flesh and blood, how good can he be to someone beside him who is not related to him by blood?
"Hmm..." Zhou Wan's mother slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, Chen Wanyue smiled. The abscess on her face was painful from being pulled: "Mom...are you okay? Look at your face, there are more wrinkles."
Zhou Wan's mother saw the face of the person who was speaking in front of her, and her eyes widened in shock, as if her eyeballs were about to fly out of their sockets: "You...you..." Is she dead? How did she see Zhou Wan?
"Mom, get up quickly, the ground is cold." Seeing the frightened look on the person's face, Chen Wanyue felt excited, "I'll help you." As she spoke, she forced herself to walk in front of the person.
"Get away! No...don't come over..." Zhou Wan's mother kicked the ground with her legs in fear and crawled backwards, "You, aren't you dead?" After saying this, she thought of the corpses she had just seen.
"What are you talking about, mother?" Chen Wanyue smiled with satisfaction, "My daughter misses you so much."
When people are overwhelmed by fear, they can't think much.
"Ah! Get out of here! It was your father who killed you. It has nothing to do with me! If you want to take my life, go find Zhou Shi!" During her days in the capital, she had already hated Zhou Shi deeply. When she thought of Zhou Wan's ghost going after Zhou Shi, she couldn't even control her joy.
Her words reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
Up high, the emperor and the empress dowager's faces were livid.
Zhou Shi wanted to tear the woman's mouth apart at this moment: "See people! What nonsense are you talking about! Take a good look at who she is!" His original intention was to make Zhou Wan's mother change her mind, and he didn't even think about the occasion.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Wan's mother realized that Zhou Shi was there. She couldn't help but shed tears: "She is Zhou Wan! Zhou Wan, you must never forget how good your mother has been to you!" She just wanted to survive now.
The emperor was annoyed by the noise and said, "Shut up!"
Everyone knelt down upon hearing the voice: "Your Majesty, calm down."
The emperor was so angry that he laughed: "You are so good, Zhou Shi, your wife recognized her, but you can't recognize your own daughter?"
Zhou Shi made up an excuse: "It was... my wife was frightened by the corpse and that's why she said those nonsense words. It wasn't her intention."
"Heh." Xiao Zhaoming, who was kneeling down, suddenly laughed out loud.
The emperor was dissatisfied with his brother: "Zhaoming, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Zhaoming said: "Since ancient times, many mothers have raised their children. They know their own children very well. How could they admit their mistakes?"
The emperor nodded thoughtfully: "When I was a child, my mother could recognize me among many other children."
Queen Mother: "Emperor..."
"Don't worry, mother." The emperor thought that his mother cared about him.
Xiao Zhaoming thought to himself, thanks to the emperor's filial piety, otherwise the plan would not have been implemented smoothly.
But the emperor didn't know that his filial piety would harm his mother...
Zhou Wan's mother came back to her senses and her eyes gradually became clear.
The Zhou Wan in front of me is not a ghost, she is really not dead...
Unable to hold back her tears, she burst into tears: "I am so sorry for you... Wan'er, Wan'er..."
A cry of "Wan'er" was heard.
Zhou Shi was in great trouble, but due to the emperor's majesty, he did not dare to speak up to stop it.
Zhou Wan's mother burst into tears: "Zhou Shihuntou said you were dead. I was so upset that I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat every day. You being alive is better than anything else..."
Shen Wanyue did not waver at all.
Very well acted.
If Zhou Wan hadn't seen the couple plotting, she would have taken it seriously.
The emperor thought of his own mother and could not help but sigh: "A loving mother loves her son. All right, have someone take the woman away."
"yes."
"Wan'er..." She was carried out crying.
Shen Wanyue's eyes followed her all the time.
The emperor sighed deeply and said to Zhou Shi who was kneeling on the ground: "You! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you killed your own daughter——"
"Your Majesty...I just didn't recognize you at first." Zhou Shi felt cold sweat all over his body, but also felt hot. "
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunder outside the hall.
“Boom—”
Xiao Zhaoming still smiled faintly: "Even God can't stand it anymore."
The Queen Mother was startled: "!"
"Don't be afraid, mother," the emperor said comfortingly.
"Yeah." The Queen Mother comforted herself that this was retribution from the Zhou Dynasty, not directed at her.
When everyone thought that the thunder was directed at Zhou Shi, only Chen Wanyue knew that it was directed at herself.
It's been a long time since I left Jileta, but what is coming will eventually come.
The pain in Shen Wanyue's body became more severe, and her eyes closed uncontrollably...
Xiao Zhaoming then spoke up: "Your Majesty, can you please let the imperial physician take a look at Madam Zhou? She looks very painful."
The emperor nodded: "Come up and take a look."
"yes."
The imperial physician stood up, came to Chen Wanyue and knelt down, placing his hand on her wrist.
There was another thunder outside the house -
“Boom boom—”
Chen Wanyue trembled a little.
The imperial physician knew a little about her experience and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid."
"Um."
The sound of thunder reminded Chen Wanyue of what she experienced in the mountains, and she still felt scared when she thought about it now.
Outside the palace, Gilleta was also attracted by the thunder.
He looked up at the sky; days of traveling had made his healthy complexion appear darker.
Amodasin beside him looked over and asked: "What is Jileta worried about?"
Jileta's expression was serious, completely different from how he looked in front of Shen Wanyue: "I'm worried about Zhaoming and the others."
"The prince is in the palace, don't worry."
"I hope so."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
But there was a force in his heart that made him stop.
"Gileta?" Amodasin asked in confusion.
Jileta suddenly turned around and ran: "Let's go into the palace!"
Before Amodasin could figure out the reason, he followed him.
——
There were thunders one after another outside the palace.
The palace was unusually quiet.
Everyone could hear each other's breathing.
The Queen Mother clenched her cane tightly, her eyes narrowed slightly: Why not go all out and get rid of Zhou Shi! But the antidote and the poison...
Her eyes fell on Shen Wanyue, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
The emperor asked, "How?"
"Your Majesty." The imperial physician withdrew his hand and said to the emperor, "The poison has already penetrated deeply into this lady's body. I'm afraid she won't live long... I have no solution."
No one present was surprised by this explanation.
No matter what kind of medicine the poison was taking, it was already difficult to survive and reach the capital.
"I will be satisfied if I can live to see my mother again." Chen Wanyue coughed twice and said, "Father, are you still unwilling to recognize me? I don't care about stealing credit and poisoning... cough cough, but I can't force myself to accept the fact that you killed others in order to make poison and medicine! If I hadn't asked for confirmation, I would never believe that you don't care about their lives in order to achieve your goals, and even commit murder and harm people!"
Zhou Shi broke out in a cold sweat: "What nonsense! I'm a doctor, how could I kill someone?"
He refused to talk about abandoning and killing his own daughter and seizing the credit, but stuck to the murder.
In Zhou Shi's opinion, it is impossible to convict himself based on a corpse with only a little flesh and skin covering the bones!
But he was wrong.
Chen Wanyue's eyes were filled with tears: "Father, I don't ask you to do anything to make it up to your daughter, and I don't ask you to apologize anymore. I just want you to let them have a good name in the underworld, okay?"
Xiao Zhaoming fanned the flames: "Madam Zhou is kind-hearted."
Even the emperor who usually sits in a high position couldn't help but relax a little.
