Mu Yazhi stared at her mother with wide eyes, still somewhat frightened, "Will this medicine have any side effects?"
Lu Wei comforted her, "Would your mother harm you? The effects of the medicine will wear off automatically in three hours."
Mu Yazhi stared at the pill in her hand, and finally forced herself to swallow it.
The moment she took the medicine, her hatred for Mu Chenshuang deepened, and she was determined to make Mu Chenshuang pay double.
The two then hurried to the palace to pay their respects to the emperor.
Just as Eunuch Li relayed Lu Wei's words to Feng Guche, another eunuch came in from outside to announce that Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi were requesting an audience.
"Let them in quickly."
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi entered the hall and kowtowed, saying, "Your subject/daughter greets Your Majesty."
"Rise, Madam Lu, have you already contacted the spiritual healer?"
Lu Wei replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the physician is currently treating the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace."
These words were spoken.
The emperor's face lit up with joy, and he pressed, "Are you sure that person is the miraculous healer?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to stake my life on this."
Even Feng Guche dared not deceive the emperor.
"Very well, if the Empress Dowager is cured, I will reward her handsomely." He then ordered, "Prepare the carriage for Cining Palace."
Soon the news that the divine physician had come to treat the Empress Dowager spread like wildfire, and the Empress and concubines all rushed to Cining Palace.
What is the true identity of this legendary healer, and can he really restore the Empress Dowager to full health?
When Feng Guche arrived at Cining Palace, he could only wait outside the palace.
Just now, the Empress Dowager's personal maid told him that the spiritual healer was treating the Empress Dowager, and that she had regained consciousness and even eaten. Now, the next stage of treatment was underway, and no one was allowed to go in and disturb her.
Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager had regained consciousness and even eaten, Feng Guche became completely convinced that the person treating her was a true healer.
Because Ji Luoyan came and saved the Empress Dowager's life that day, but the Empress Dowager still fell into a coma and could only be forced to drink water every day, let alone eat.
At this moment, the Empress and several concubines arrived at Cining Palace. After learning about the situation, the Empress's gaze fell on Mu Yazhi. She never expected that Mu Yazhi would have such abilities.
Mu Yazhi stood aside, secretly delighted. She had just heard the old woman's words and her joy was still overwhelming.
Once Doctor Li comes out, she will be in the limelight, showered with glory. At that time, what will Mu Chenshuang be compared to her? She will definitely trample her into the mud and let Mu Chenshuang know the consequences of offending her.
At this moment.
Consort Ling suddenly asked with concern, "Why is Miss Mu wearing a veil? What happened to your face?"
As soon as Consort Ling said this, everyone's attention turned to Mu Yazhi.
Even Feng Guche looked at her.
Mu Yazhi came to her senses, subconsciously reached out and gently touched her cheek, whispering, "Thank you for your concern, Consort Ling. I am fine."
Her gentle voice carried a hint of grievance.
"How can you be alright? I see you have a rash on your face. Perhaps we should have the imperial physician take a look?" Consort Ling said worriedly.
Mu Yazhi hurriedly explained, "There's no need to call the imperial physician. I just had a slight allergic reaction to the pastries my sister gave me. I've already taken medicine, and I'll be fine in a bit." Her anxious tone made it sound like the words had slipped out unintentionally.
Nowadays, everyone knows that Mu Chenshuang has been throwing her weight around since returning to the Marquis's mansion, scolding her aunt, slapping her stepsister, and causing unrest in the household.
These rumors in the palace were naturally spread intentionally by Consort Ling, and even Feng Guche had heard about them.
Looking at Mu Yazhi's delicate appearance, it's even more believable that Mu Yazhi is often bullied by her.
So her words clearly proved to others that Mu Chenshuang deliberately framed her.
"I've heard that Princess Weiyang often bullies Ya'er in the Marquis's mansion. This time she's gone too far. Doesn't she know how important a woman's face is?" Consort Rong suddenly spoke up, indignant on behalf of Mu Yazhi.
"Ya'er, you really are something. You know she doesn't treat you well, and when she suddenly gives you pastries, there must be something wrong with it. You still eat them. What if you suffer any aftereffects or get scars? How will you ever get married in the future?"
Mu Yazhi said softly, "I didn't think that much about it. It was a gift from my sister, so there's no reason for me not to eat it. My sister probably doesn't know that I'm allergic to the stuff in it. The doctor said it will heal, and it shouldn't leave a scar."
While her words were meant to explain for Mu Chenshuang, they were actually meant to let everyone know that Mu Chenshuang had deliberately framed her.
Sudden.
Xue Jiajia's voice came from behind her, "Ya'er, you're so beautiful and kind-hearted. You were framed by her and you still spoke up for Mu Chenshuang. If it were me, I would have fed her a pound of poison and made her disfigured so she wouldn't be able to show her face in public."
Mu Yazhi was surprised and turned around to see Xue Jiajia and Feng Lian walking towards her.
After paying homage to the emperor, Xue Jiajia immediately began to speak up for Mu Yazhi, "Your Majesty, not only that, but Mu Chenshuang has also repeatedly hindered Ya'er from finding the spiritual healer. She must not want Ya'er to find the spiritual healer, cure the Empress Dowager, and receive Your Majesty's reward."
These words were spoken.
Feng Guche's face immediately darkened; he was utterly shocked.
"Such a thing actually happened! This Mu Chenshuang is far too vicious. The Empress Dowager treated her with such devotion, yet for her own selfish gain, she showed no regard for the Empress Dowager's life whatsoever!" Consort Rong exclaimed in astonishment.
Mu Yazhi and Lu Wei were shocked and surprised. Why did Xue Jiajia suddenly say such a thing?
Xue Jiajia stood beside Mu Yazhi and whispered in Mu Yazhi's ear while Consort Rong was speaking, "I'm here to help you. This is a great opportunity to kill Mu Chenshuang."
Mu Yazhi was delighted to hear Xue Jiajia's words.
Xue Jiajia is right. Once Mu Chenshuang is accused of preventing the spiritual healer from coming for treatment, His Majesty will definitely not let her off the hook. This is indeed a golden opportunity.
