Mu Chenshuang knelt on the ground with her back straight, her clear, beautiful eyes showing no fear. She nodded but did not respond to Feng Anxue's question.
“The situation was urgent at the time. If Your Majesty were to punish me, I would gladly accept the punishment.”
Qi Zhen sneered, "So Princess Weiyang was just posing as a divine physician. If something had happened to the Empress Dowager at that time, wouldn't it be my Divine Physician Sect that would have to take the blame? Such contempt for my Divine Physician Sect is unacceptable. Even if you are Princess Weiyang, you should give my Divine Physician Sect an explanation."
As he spoke, he changed the subject, looked at the emperor, and said respectfully, "The most important thing now is to find out who framed the Empress Dowager. As for the matter between Princess Weiyang and my Divine Physician Sect, I hope Your Majesty will respect the wishes of my Divine Physician Sect."
"Since this matter involves the Divine Physician Sect, I will not say much. However, Princess Weiyang's purpose is also to save the Empress Dowager, so Sect Leader Qi, please do not go too far."
"Of course, regardless of the Empress Dowager's current condition, Princess Weiyang did indeed cure her back then."
Mu Chenshuang did not refute Qi Zhen's words; she and Qi Zhen should indeed resolve their differences privately.
“However, Father, Sect Leader Qi also said yesterday that Grandmother’s body was injected with dark energy. Although Grandmother seemed to be fine at the time, it seems that there was a problem with the treatment back then. Moreover, only witch doctors have this technique. Shouldn’t Princess Weiyang give a reasonable explanation?”
Feng Guche's gaze darkened as he looked at Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen nodded, "Indeed, last night I only learned about the method from the Empress Dowager's pulse characteristics. Whether Princess Weiyang is a witch doctor or not still needs to be verified."
"Does Sect Leader Qi have any method of verification? After all, this concerns witch doctors, so it's no longer just a matter for the Divine Doctor Sect."
As Feng Anxue spoke, her gaze fell on Mu Chenshuang, a sinister glint in her eyes.
"There is indeed a way."
Feng Guche looked at Mu Chenshuang kneeling on the ground with a deep gaze and said in a serious tone, "Does Princess Weiyang have anything else to say?"
"I have a clear conscience and am naturally not afraid of Sect Leader Qi's verification. But before the verification, I have a question for Sect Leader Qi."
Qi Zhen: "Princess, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."
Mu Chenshuang raised her eyes and stared directly at Qi Zhen, her gaze full of dominance. Even when she was kneeling and confronting Qi Zhen, she did not appear weak at all.
It was this very gaze that made Qi Zhen's heart skip a beat, a feeling of inexplicable fear. But he suppressed his emotions and looked at Mu Chenshuang with an unchanged expression.
"May I ask, Sect Leader Qi, you said that you did feel the infusion of spiritual energy when you examined the Empress Dowager's condition. Then why didn't you sense the hidden energy within the Empress Dowager's body at that time? What kind of method can simultaneously bring two kinds of energy into the Empress Dowager's body without the Sect Leader Qi noticing it at first?"
She didn't confront him last night, partly because she couldn't be sure what Dr. Li would ask. It seems Dr. Li hasn't confirmed her identity, though she never gave him a clear answer.
What she could confirm was that the dark energy Qi Zhen mentioned last night, which Qi Zhen had secretly placed inside the Empress Dowager's body, was something Qi Zhen had taken the opportunity to do. This was enough to prove that Qi Zhen was not simple and that he probably already had ulterior motives towards the Divine Physician Sect.
There must be some unspeakable secret between him and Feng Anxue.
When faced with Mu Chenshuang's questioning, Qi Zhen's expression stiffened slightly. "I didn't notice it at first, but I can't guarantee that I didn't take action against the Empress Dowager later."
"So if I were a witch doctor, could I use spiritual power to heal the Empress Dowager?"
This rebuttal left Qi Zhen speechless. What he said yesterday was a trap for himself, because spiritual power and witch power cannot coexist.
Qi Zhen's expression grew increasingly somber.
Feng Anxue suddenly snorted coldly, "Does Princess Weiyang intend to claim that she is a spiritual healer? Sect Master Qi is the sect master of the Divine Healer Sect. Presumably, he has not yet achieved a higher level of medical expertise. Princess Weiyang, you have been hiding so many things. What methods did you use? Only you know the answer."
This sophistry is simply an attempt to label Mu Chenshuang a witch doctor.
Mu Chenshuang stared at her coldly, "Your Highness's words imply that Sect Leader Qi's skills are lacking. Does that mean I can question the truthfulness of what Sect Leader Qi said yesterday?"
