Feng Guche looked at Lu Wei kneeling on the ground with a deep gaze.
Seeing this, Consort Ling looked at Feng Guche and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although Madam Lu has made a mistake and needs to be punished, the Empress Dowager's condition has improved. This is due to the Emperor's great grace and the Empress Dowager's good fortune. Today should be a day to celebrate this happy occasion and bring good luck to the Empress Dowager."
Upon hearing this, Feng Guche's expression changed slightly. He took a deep breath, clearly agreeing with Consort Ling's statement. His gaze fell on Mu Chenshuang, and he asked, "Shuang'er, what do you think we should do?"
Mu Chenshuang replied calmly, "Outsiders all say how good and caring Aunt Lu is to me, but they never expected that she would slander me in public without any evidence and pin such a serious crime on me. Now that I am innocent, I don't want anyone to be punished."
“But after this incident, I can no longer trust Consort Lu. I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to have Consort Lu return my fief to me.”
These words were spoken.
Everyone was startled.
Lu Wei's face froze instantly, her eyes widened in panic, and her heart was filled with deep-seated resentment.
So this is what that bitch was really after.
Feng Guche looked at Mu Chenshuang and asked in a deep voice, "Why do I need to issue an edict to take back the fiefdom that I bestowed upon you?"
"Your Majesty, I trusted Consort Lu before, so I entrusted her with the management of the fief. After I returned to the manor, I asked Consort Lu for the account books, but she made excuses time and time again. I didn't think much of it, thinking that there would be a lot of things to do in the manor at the end of the year. But I never expected that Consort Lu would slander me like this today. So my heart is cold and I am not comfortable entrusting the fief to her again."
Mu Chenshuang nodded, a hint of grievance in her eyes.
Hearing her feigned tone, Mu Yazhi could no longer suppress her anger and shouted back, "You're talking nonsense! You're the one threatening me..."
"Ya'er!"
Before Mu Yazhi could finish speaking, Lu Wei hurriedly stopped her.
Mu Yazhi shut her mouth in resentment, her heart filled with indignation. She wished she could devour Mu Chenshuang alive. The glory that was about to be hers had suddenly vanished because of that bitch Mu Chenshuang.
“Your Majesty, I would never dare to seize Shuang’er’s fiefdom. I intended to prepare it properly before handing it over to Shuang’er. To openly seize what Your Majesty has bestowed upon me is a serious crime, and I am well aware of that.”
Lu Wei hurriedly explained, but inside she was already furious. Her lowered eyes were filled with suppressed hatred, and her clenched fingers looked as if they were about to break.
“In that case, Madam Lu should return it as soon as possible,” Feng Guche said.
"yes."
Xue Jiajia suddenly raised her voice, "So that means your face got all rotten because you took the fake medicine that Yazhi gave me."
The topic had already been changed, but Xue Jiajia's words left Mu Yazhi completely at a loss.
She now fully understands that Xue Jiajia's feigned reconciliation with her was a trap, and that Mu Chenshuang was behind it all.
Although Xue Jiajia is simple-minded and guileless, she is extremely righteous and hates evil. In addition, she was instigated by Mu Chenshuang and will definitely take revenge on her.
Mu Yazhi raised her head to look at Feng Lian, her eyes filled with tears, her voice hoarse, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry about what happened to Miss Xue. It was my fault. If I had refused Miss Xue back then, this wouldn't have happened."
Feng Lian stared at Mu Yazhi with a stern face and said, "Since Jiajia asked for it herself, she also bears responsibility. Now that Jiajia is alright, I don't want to pursue the matter any further."
Xue Jiajia felt very unhappy, but it was indeed she who insisted on having it in the first place.
Thinking about it carefully, it was all because of that woman, Mu Yazhi, who deliberately provoked her.
Consort Ling smiled and chimed in, "Miss Mu, you're used to staying at home and don't know the dangers of the martial world. You're bound to be naive and trusting of others." Then, she looked at Mu Yazhi and said, "Miss Mu, you'd better be more careful next time. You can't just meet people from the Divine Doctor Sect casually."
Mu Yazhi lowered her head, her eyes blurry with tears, looking pitiful. "Your Highness Consort Ling is right. I will remember this lesson and there will be no next time."
"Your Majesty, no matter what, Miss Mu and Madam Lu were determined to find a skilled physician to treat the Empress Dowager, and they have indeed found Doctor Li. They deserve credit for their hard work, even if they haven't achieved anything great."
Lu Wei hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Consort Ling, you are too kind. My wife and Ya'er have made such a big mistake, how dare we ask for credit?"
"I have said that if you invite a skilled physician to treat the Empress Dowager, I will certainly reward you."
Hearing this, Mu Yazhi's heart, which had been clenched with anxiety, eased. She glanced up and stared at Mu Chenshuang, thinking to herself with a ruthless glint in her eyes: Mu Chenshuang, you want to frame me, but if fate doesn't allow you to have your way, I will still be rewarded.
Just as she was feeling overjoyed.
Doctor Li began, “Your Majesty, there is something I must clarify. I am not actually a divine physician from the Divine Physician Sect.”
