"Well, thank you Miss Ni for your help!"
The people of the Tian family were depressed and left the Prince's Mansion and rushed back to the Tian family.
Ni Yueshan returned to Chu Ningyang's room. The imperial physician was taking his pulse and checking the situation: "Prince, it seems that the princess's coma is not due to external injuries, but rather a drug in her body..."
"Please ask the imperial physician to take a closer look and wake my daughter up!"
"Yes, Prince, rest assured, I will do my best."
The matter of taking the medicine was just Ni Yueshan and Chu Ningyang's own decision. She hoped that Chu Ningyang could escape this disaster.
Ni Yueshan returned to the prime minister's residence, but unexpectedly Ni Hongbo was waiting for her.
Ni Hongbo's face was terribly gloomy. "You and the princess went to the Tian family yesterday. Was it your idea?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "So what?"
Ni Yueshan's expression was cold, with a hint of disdain.
Ni Hongbo's eyes were bloodshot as he said hatefully, "Ni Yueshan, you are so vicious! She is my great-grandmother!"
"Yes, I am so vicious. Why didn't God take me away, but took her instead?"
Ni Yueshan said this with disdain, and walked towards Jidong Pavilion.
Ni Hongbo watched Ni Yueshan leave and did not continue to stop him. He just clenched his fists and walked out of the prime minister's residence.
After nightfall, Ni Gaofei came back from outside and summoned Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan walked in, "Dad."
Ni Gaofei came back to his senses, his expression serious, "If the emperor summons you to the palace tomorrow, have you thought of an excuse?"
"Dad, don't worry. I'm just a bystander. Even if this gets exposed, I'll just be a witness at best!"
"Father is increasingly impressed by you!"
Ni Gaofei spoke earnestly, obviously not believing that this matter had little to do with her.
Ni Yueshan lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm an unfilial daughter."
"Alright, it's getting late, go to bed early. Remember, in front of the Emperor, answer each question you ask, and don't say anything extra just because you want to help someone!"
"Yueshan understands."
"Back off."
After nightfall, Ni Yueshan went to bed early and waited for the emperor's summons the next day.
At noon the next day, Jing Yuchen arrived before anyone from the palace arrived.
"Aren't you injured? Why did you leave the house?"
"If you want to go to the palace, this prince must go to the palace as well, by the way."
"What are you doing at the palace?"
"I wonder if my mother is okay?"
Ni Yueshan: “…”
Jing Yuchen sat down beside him without any hesitation. He picked up the water cup beside him and drank it.
"Are you scared?" The soft voice seemed to be a casual question, but it was full of concern.
Ni Yueshan followed and sat down: "Look."
She spread out her palms, which were soaked with sweat. It was impossible not to be afraid...
In the Imperial Palace, in the South Study.
The Tian family's Minister of Justice, his wife, and his son knelt on the ground. Chu Jianbai sat beside them. Ni Yueshan walked in and bowed to the emperor in the main seat: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The emperor did not let her stand up, but asked in a deep voice: "I heard from the prince that you were there at the time and are a strong witness?"
When Ni Yueshan entered the hall just now, he only caught a quick glance at the bright yellow figure. Because he was sitting far away, Ni Yueshan did not see the emperor's expression clearly, and could not tell from his voice whether he was angry or calm.
Ni Yueshan replied politely, "Your Majesty, I was indeed present at the time."
"Then tell me, why did the old lady suddenly suffer from a heart attack?"
"I am not a doctor, so I don't know the specific reason."
The emperor asked again, "The Tian family said that the princess' words offended the old lady, and this triggered her heart disease?"
"Your Majesty, the heart disease was only the trigger, not the main cause of the old lady's death! The old lady's death may have been due to the Tian family's doctors arriving too late and not treating her in time, or it may have been due to her not taking the heart-saving pills in time. Therefore, the princess was not the one who directly killed the old lady."
The emperor looked at Ni Yueshan with some surprise. Was he trying to make excuses for the Prince's Mansion?
Tian Hanmo said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the old lady suffered a heart attack because of the princess. Isn't this enough to prove that the princess killed the old lady? Your Majesty, this woman must have accepted benefits from the Prince's Mansion, so she deliberately excused the princess!"
Ni Yueshan calmly retorted, "You can speculate that I accepted benefits from the Prince's Mansion, but why can't I speculate that the real cause of the old lady's death may have other reasons?"
Chu Jianbai stood up and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, perhaps this is a trap. The Tian family is deliberately dragging my daughter into this trap so that their daughter can secure the position of the Crown Prince's consort!"
