At night, a figure in night clothes came to the door of Doctor Song's room.
She carefully observed the surroundings and found that since there was no one around, it was a good time to take action.
She first took out a cigarette from her bosom and sent the cigarette into the house through the window.
After waiting for a while, he climbed in through the window.
She quietly walked to the bed of the sleeping person in the room, raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed it hard into the bed.
But the moment she stabbed in, she didn't feel the familiar feeling she had when she committed the crime before.
Instead, it felt like it was stuck in cotton.
She lifted the quilt on the bed, and then her pupils constricted.
There was no trace of Doctor Song on the bed, only a few embroidered pillows.
She realized that she had fallen into a trap and wanted to escape, but suddenly a group of guards with swords rushed into the house and surrounded her.
After fighting with the guards for several rounds, she was captured by them.
The oil lamp in the house was lit, and a group of people walked in from outside.
The leader was the king, accompanied by Sultan Ruo and Doctor Song.
The king signaled the guards to remove the veil from the face of the person kneeling on the ground.
A woman's face was revealed, and it was the maidservant beside the queen.
The maid knew that the queen would fall into the hands of the third princess this time.
The king's face darkened when he recognized the maid.
"Someone, go and get the queen."
Then he asked the guards to take the maid away first, and he wanted to interrogate her separately.
But at this moment, the maidservant didn't know where she got the strength from, she suddenly broke free from the guards and stabbed Doctor Song with the dagger in her hand.
The incident happened so quickly that no one had time to react.
The knife stabbed into Doctor Song's chest and began to bleed profusely.
Eunuch Feng had seen a lot of the world, so he was the first to react and then protected the king.
"Protect the emperor! Arrest this crazy woman!"
Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the maidservant stopped resisting and allowed the guards to catch her again.
The king was furious. "Take him away and torture him severely!"
After the maid was taken away, Eunuch Feng took people to "invite" the queen.
Sultan Ruo arranged for Doctor Song to go into the inner room first, and asked the people from the Imperial Hospital to treat Doctor Song's injuries.
Eunuch Feng acted quickly and "invited" the queen over with a team of guards.
The king sat on the upper throne, and as soon as the queen arrived he shouted, "Kneel down!"
The queen had not yet reacted to what was happening, but the king's pressure made her kneel down unconsciously.
"I have been grateful for your contribution in managing the harem over the years. Even if you have done some excessive things, I have never held it against you.
I never thought you'd done so many wicked things behind my back! Why don't you confess everything?"
The queen, still not understanding the situation, said stubbornly, "I don't know what I have done wrong to make the king so angry. I hope the king will explain it clearly!"
The king asked directly, "Over the years, my orphaned children and beloved concubines have left me one by one, but were you behind this?"
The queen was startled and looked around only to notice that the Sultan was there.
The queen thought to herself that something was wrong, fearing that her maid had been discovered.
He should have been arrested, which is why they sent someone to summon me for interrogation.
The queen lowered her head and remained silent.
The king was even more angry.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you feeling guilty? Do you think I won't know anything if you don't say anything? The Third Princess has already told me the whole story, and now there's evidence! Do you have anything else to say?"
The queen looked up at the king.
"Your Majesty, since you have already determined that I have done these things, I have nothing to say. I will accept whatever punishment Your Majesty has for me.
I have been following Your Majesty since I was a teenager. I have endured so many hardships that ordinary people could not endure. I have finally made it to my current position and can walk shoulder to shoulder with you.
But those girls around you are so annoying! Why can they all have children, but I can't! I hate them for taking away your love!
I want them to die with their children!"
The king was shocked by the queen's words. He didn't expect that the person next to him would be so jealous.
"Crazy woman! Vicious woman!"
Then the prisoner came to report the news.
"Your Majesty, that maidservant swore to death that she would not say a word, and she just bit her tongue to commit suicide!"
The king's eyes darkened, and he glared at the queen and said, "You do have a good maid!"
But the queen blamed her current situation on Sultanruo, and she rushed to Sultanruo and grabbed her.
"I am where I am today because of you. I should have strangled you to death at the beginning!"
Seeing this, the king stepped forward, pulled the queen away and pushed her to the ground.
"You have no repentance! Come! Pass on my decree. The queen is deposed and this vicious woman is banished to the cold palace and executed in the autumn!"
The queen was taken to the cold palace by the guards.
The king stepped forward to show concern for Sudan Ruo, "Are you okay?"
Sultan Ruo shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Father. I am fine, but Doctor Song..."
The king understood what Sultanruo meant and walked into the inner room, followed closely by Sultanruo.
Doctor Song was lying on the bed, dying, but still holding on.
The king said, "I have already issued an order to banish that vicious woman to the cold palace and execute her in the autumn."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Song shed a tear from the corner of his eye and seemed to be relieved.
Then he tremblingly took out a cloth bag from his arms.
He handed the bag to Sultan.
"Third Princess, this is a medical book I've poured my life's experience and efforts into. I originally intended to leave it to future generations, but now I'm alone and have nothing to offer you in return. So, I'm giving this book to you, Third Princess. I hope you won't despise it."
Sultan Ruo solemnly accepted the medical book,
"I will preserve your hard work and pass it on, so don't worry!"
Doctor Song nodded, his eyes gradually becoming blurred. He seemed to see his wife and children waving at him.
He closed his eyes contentedly, a smile playing on the corners of his mouth.
The king ordered, "Give Imperial Physician Song a proper burial!"
Then he said to the Sultan:
"Doctor Song was a renowned expert in the Imperial Hospital back in the day. You can keep his things. You're about to go on a long journey, and you never know what you might encounter out there. You might find them useful."
Sultan nodded, looked deeply at Doctor Song, and left with the king.
If the Sultan had resolved the issue in his heart, it would be time for him to embark on the journey to the Great Sheng Kingdom.
Before leaving, the Queen Mother came to see Sultanruo off with her own ceremonial guard and brought Sultanruo a dowry of several carriages.
They were afraid that the Sultan would be bullied by others in a foreign country.
Sultan bid farewell to the Queen Mother in tears.
The king sent an army to escort Sultan Roh, and also gave Sultan Roh a small team of elite soldiers to keep for his own use.
This is one of the few things he can do for her as a father.
