Ni Yueshan immediately spoke up: "Empress Dowager! You want to punish me, not him. How could I let him take the punishment for me?"
Before Miao Qinghua could say anything, Zou Yangyao took the lead and spoke: "This matter is my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Zou Yangyao stood up and walked in one direction. The palace servants followed him and took him away for torture.
Ni Yueshan frowned and looked at Miao Qinghua, "Empress Dowager, if Madam Zou has been credited with saving the Prince Regent, how could you punish General Zou?"
Miao Qinghua retorted, "Princess Regent, it was General Zou who deliberately concealed the fact that I came to the General's Mansion, which led to your neglect of me. It is neither moral nor logical that you should speak up to defend Zou Yangyao. Instead, you should bear a grudge against him. Do you understand?"
"But, I don't blame him. I just think that his wife has made a contribution, but her husband has been punished because of me. This..." Ni Yueshan frowned, as if she still had some concerns.
Shao Lecheng smiled and said, "Princess Regent, you seem to have got one thing wrong. If General Zou hadn't competed with the Prince Regent, how could he have been rendered unconscious? Madam Zou is merely making amends for her mistake, but she has no credit to speak of."
Ni Yueshan's frown deepened, and he felt annoyed.
Not far away, the sound of sticks falling one after another was clearly audible, but Zou Yangyao gritted his teeth and persevered, not screaming.
Miao Qinghua listened to the sound of the stick falling, as if she heard a beautiful song. Her originally sullen face gradually relaxed.
At this time, a servant came hurriedly and reported: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, Princess, Prince, the Regent has woken up."
Everyone present was surprised. They didn't expect Xiao Chuer to be so capable.
Ni Yueshan quickly walked towards the room. In the room, Jing Yuchen had just woken up and was still in a daze.
Xiao Chu'er stood aside and said, "The blood clots have been cleared. You hurt yourself by drinking and fighting. Because you are drunk, you can't clearly feel your physical condition. It's very dangerous!"
Ni Yueshan ignored him and continued to look at Jing Yuchen: "How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Jing Yuchen shook his head: "What's going on?"
He looked hesitantly at the door not far away, where Shao Lecheng, a group of ministers, and even people dressed as palace maids were crowded.
"That's a long story..." Ni Yueshan responded and looked at Xiao Chu'er beside him, "Zou Yangyao is torturing him, go stop him quickly and say that the Regent has woken up and you're not blaming him!"
Xiao Chuer looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise, and Ni Yueshan urged her again: "Go quickly!"
Xiao Chuer turned around and left quickly, then rushed to Zou Yangyao: "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
The palace maid saw Xiao Chu'er trying to stop him but didn't stop. Xiao Chu'er was very anxious and ran quickly towards the Queen Mother. Then she knelt on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, please spare the general. The Regent has woken up!"
Miao Qinghua narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't expect that Xiao Chuer actually saved the person.
Miao Qinghua looked at Xiao Chuer with a hint of admiration: "Your medical skills are so superb?"
"I can't say I'm a skilled doctor, but I've found the root of the illness. Queen Mother, the Regent has woken up. I beg you to spare the general!"
Xiao Chuer begged for mercy and kowtowed to the ground.
Miao Qinghua, however, was not moved at all. She smiled and asked, "I originally thought that any woman who practiced medicine must be a charlatan. Since your medical skills are so superb, I have been suffering from headaches these days. Why don't you come with me to the palace and take care of me and cure my headaches? It will be a way of making amends for the general!"
Xiao Chu'er looked at Miao Qinghua hesitantly. This...
Miao Qinghua smiled faintly, her expression very strange: "Follow me, your general might even get a reward because of you!"
Xiao Chuer resisted in her heart, but when she heard the sound of the cane, her heart was gripped with anxiety.
She frowned and finally responded, "Your Majesty, if you look upon me favorably, I will do my best to cure your headache."
Although he really didn't want to follow, in order to make those who were beating Zou Yangyao stop, he had no choice but to do as Miao Qinghua asked.
Ni Yueshan was still talking to Jing Yuchen about Miao Qinghua's arrival when a servant came to report: "Princess Regent, our wife has been taken away by the Queen Mother..."
Ni Yueshan stood up and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother take your wife away?"
"The Queen Mother said she was suffering from a headache, and regarding the Prince Regent, she had seen clearly our wife's medical skills, so she wanted our wife to help with the treatment."
Ni Yueshan frowned tightly and glanced at Jing Yuchen.
"What about Zou Yangyao?" Ni Yueshan asked.
"The general has fainted..."
As soon as Ni Yueshan entered Zou Yangyao's room, a servant immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Princess, our general is being treated by a doctor, so it is not convenient for you to enter."
Ni Yueshan didn't insist on going in to see it with his own eyes, but only asked, "Is it serious?"
The servant lowered his head and sighed deeply, "The flesh was torn and blood was dripping. It was horrible."
"Take good care of your general. As for your wife's matter, I will find a way. I will come to the general's mansion again tomorrow when he feels better." After Ni Yueshan finished speaking, he turned and left.
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen returned to the palace together. Jing Yuchen still looked a little weak. Ni Yueshan stood aside and asked suspiciously, "Now that there is no one else around, was it you who set up this trap today?"
Facing Ni Yueshan's questioning, Jing Yuchen only responded innocently: "...I can say it, right?"
