Everyone was shocked when Mu Yazhi said this.
She actually knew the alchemists of the Divine Physician Sect. Everyone knew that the Divine Physician Sect's medicines were priceless, and the people of the Divine Physician Sect possessed the most exquisite medical skills in the world. It was rumored that the Divine Physician Sect had an unshakable influence behind several countries. If you didn't have a sufficiently high status and position, you simply couldn't get the Divine Physician Sect to treat your illness.
Upon hearing Mu Yazhi's words, Mu Chenshuang couldn't help but curl a cold, mocking smile at the corner of her lips. She certainly knew how to find a way to shift the blame onto the Divine Doctor Sect.
However, the pills refined by the Divine Physician Sect are all imprinted with unique patterns and markings belonging to the sect on their surface, in order to prevent counterfeiting.
Mu Yazhi was foolish to think that she could get away with it by shifting the blame onto someone who was not easy to investigate.
Seeing the astonished and even admiring expressions on everyone's faces, Mu Yazhi's heart was enveloped by a hollow vanity.
He continued to argue vehemently, "Your Highness should know that the people of the Divine Physician Sect have always disliked revealing their identities unless they are extremely trusting. He gave me the pills back then, and I have kept them safe. I have never been willing to take them myself. I meant well and treated Jiajia like a sister. I just never expected that my kindness would be met with such suspicion."
The words were spoken.
Feng Ji suddenly laughed. His cryptic laugh puzzled everyone, and it terrified Mu Yazhi, as if a hand was gripping her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
"To earn the trust of the Divine Physician Sect and even gift you elixirs, Miss Mu must be quite extraordinary. I'm suddenly very curious to know what it is about Miss Mu that makes the Divine Physician Sect appreciate you so much?"
Mu Yazhi suppressed her inner panic and kept telling herself not to be afraid. Although the Carefree King was a skilled physician, he was still no match for the people of the Divine Physician Sect.
It was clear that the carefree prince had become interested in her and had finally taken notice of her.
Just as she was about to explain something, a guard rushed over and said, "Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the Empress Dowager is critically ill and requests that Your Highness and Princess Consort come to the palace immediately."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention shifted from Mu Yazhi.
Xue Jiajia didn't have much interest in pursuing the matter further, as the Empress Dowager usually doted on her.
Mu Yazhi breathed a sigh of relief, a smile curving her lips. Even the heavens were on her side. She subconsciously looked at Mu Chenshuang with a provocative expression.
But the next second she couldn't laugh anymore.
Feng Ji said, "Since Miss Mu is acquainted with the people of the Divine Physician Sect, I urge Miss Mu to contact this alchemist as soon as possible. I will report this matter to His Majesty. This is a good opportunity for Miss Mu to make a contribution."
The words were spoken.
Mu Yazhi's mind went blank. How could she know anyone from the Divine Doctor Sect, or find any alchemists?
But she couldn't refuse.
"Can……"
She tried to gloss over the situation, but Feng Ji didn't give her any chance.
Feng Ji and Feng Yunqi left together. After the Princess Consort apologized to everyone, she ordered Wei Xu to be sent back to his residence immediately. She also arranged for the steward to escort several young ladies from official families away, and then they all went to the palace together.
After exchanging a few words with Mu Chenshuang, Xue Jiajia hurriedly caught up with the carefree king.
After everyone arrived at the gate of the City King's Mansion and watched the carefree king and his entourage leave, they left.
A woman from an official family suddenly said, "Yazhi, I really didn't know you had such abilities. You actually know people from the Divine Physician Sect. You've really kept it well hidden. That Xue Jiajia is really ungrateful. If you let the people from the Divine Physician Sect cure the Empress Dowager's illness, then you won't have to put up with those people's tempers in the Marquis's mansion anymore!"
As he spoke, he glanced disdainfully at Mu Chenshuang, who was walking towards the carriage.
Clearly, most of the daughters of officials were captivated by Mu Yazhi's superb acting skills and eloquent speech.
“That’s right, elegant. Even the carefree prince said that this is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself.”
Sudden.
Mu Chenshuang stopped in her tracks. The powerful aura she inadvertently exuded from that pause made everyone's hearts tighten.
Mu Chenshuang turned around, her icy gaze falling on Mu Yazhi.
"I'm waiting for you, Yazhi, to bring even more glory to the Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Mu Yazhi's legs went weak, and she suddenly couldn't stand up. Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, and her heart was trembling violently.
Why would the Prince of Xiaoyao help Mu Chenshuang target him?
What is it about this bitch that's better than her?
Seeing the anger in her eyes, Mu Chenshuang smiled coldly, looked away, got into the carriage, and left the Prince of Cheng's mansion.
“A princess is indeed a princess, her arrogance is truly remarkable. Elegant! This is a good opportunity for you to suppress her. If the people from the Divine Physician Sect cure the Empress Dowager, you will be a great hero.” A young lady from an official family spoke up, showing an attitude of enjoying the show.
Mu Yazhi suddenly felt unsteady on her feet.
Xiang Qingying quickly steadied her, "Yazhi, what's wrong?"
Mu Yazhi forced a smile and said weakly, "No...it's nothing. I might be a little dizzy from kneeling on the ground. I'll go back to the Marquis's residence first. I need to find a way to contact the other person."
Mu Yazhi didn't want to stay a moment longer; she had to return to the manor immediately and find her mother to come up with a solution.
If her lies are exposed, murdering Xue Jiajia is a minor matter, but deceiving the emperor is a major crime.
