Chapter 159 Jiang girl, do you want to enter the library?

"Xunmei, is what Zhang Yuanpan said true?" After the old emperor heard Zhang Yuanpan finish speaking, he turned his gaze to Xunmei again.

Xunmei's heart tightened, and she hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly and said carefully: "Your Majesty, what Zhang Yuanpan said is true."

After the old emperor finished listening, there was no expression on his face, but if you looked closely, you could see that his hand, half hidden in his sleeve, was slowly clenched, with veins slightly protruding on the back of his hand.

"Empress Rou has been feeling unwell lately and has been recuperating in the palace, so she is unable to visit Princess Cang Yue in person."

"However, she was always concerned about the princess's illness, so she asked her servant Xunmei to visit the princess frequently to see if she needed any help."

"Yesterday, it was time to change the princess's dressings. Xunmei took Zhang Yuanpan to the princess's bedroom. When changing the dressings, Zhang Yuanpan told me that something was moving under the skin of the princess's legs."

"I was curious and carefully observed the things on the princess' legs. I found a tiny thing moving under the princess' skin."

When the maid Xunmei said this, she slightly raised her head and secretly glanced at the old emperor. Xunmei's voice became smaller and smaller. She didn't know whether she should continue to speak, because the old emperor's face became very ugly.

At this time, the old emperor first glanced at Xunmei, then looked at Princess Cangyue, his heart also full of doubts.

"I was also shocked at the time, but I didn't know what these things were, nor did I know whether they would harm the princess's health, so I didn't dare to report it."

After Xunmei finished speaking, the old emperor asked Zhang Yuanpan in a cold voice.

"Don't tell me, you don't know what that thing is? Why is it under the princess's skin?

After these words were spoken, Judge Zhang fell silent.

"Zhang Yuanpan, as a doctor, you are so careless. What else can get into the human body and move? Besides the poisonous insect, what else can it be?

The old emperor's voice was low and majestic, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, falling on Zhang Yuanpan.

Zhang Yuanpan was shocked, and he knew he was in big trouble. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm.

"Your Majesty, I have no way to remove the poisonous insect from the princess' body, but I don't want to ruin my reputation as a doctor."

The old emperor frowned tightly, looked at Zhang Yuanpan and sneered.

"You knew about this but didn't report it. There is only one possibility. It's you who planted the poison in the princess' body!"

Judge Zhang had not expected that the old emperor would pin the crime on him so directly. He shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! The poisonous insect in the princess' body was not mine. I am only a doctor, and doctors are kind-hearted. How could I do something that goes against medical ethics?"

The old emperor's expression became even more gloomy. He looked at Zhang Yuanpan, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"President Zhang, how can I trust you?"

Zhang Yuanpan felt the old emperor's sharp gaze and knew he could no longer remain silent.

He sighed and continued:

"Your Majesty, if I tell this, I will not be able to draw out the poison in the princess' body. Then, Your Majesty will definitely not let me go..."

After hearing what Zhang Yuanpan said, the old emperor's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He would do just that - kill people.

"Since it wasn't you and Xunmei who cast the poison, then who else entered Princess Cangyue's room yesterday?" the old emperor asked again.

But as soon as the old emperor finished speaking, Princess Cangyue interrupted him.

"Father, I beg you not to pursue this matter any further."

Princess Cangyue's tone was extremely weak. She looked at the old emperor with pleading eyes. Everyone present was stunned after hearing her words.

Princess Cangyue was almost killed by excessive bleeding, but she didn't even want to find out who was behind it.

The old emperor frowned, looked at Princess Cang Yue with concern, and asked, "Why?"

Princess Cang Yue did not directly answer the old emperor's words, but glanced at the person standing in her bedroom.

"Father, please let Brother Seven and Sister Jiang stay, and let everyone else leave. I have a few words to say to you."

Hearing this, the old emperor lowered his eyes and looked at Princess Cangyue for a few seconds. Then, he nodded and immediately ordered the unnecessary people in the room to leave.

Soon, Princess Cangyue's bedroom became quiet.

"Cangyue, tell me, your father will personally make the decision for you. Do you know the person who put the poison on you?" the old emperor asked.

Princess Cang Yue sighed softly, a trace of despair flashed in her eyes, and her voice seemed to come from the underworld: "Father, that person is the most familiar person around us, I can't..."

After hearing this, the three of them were very surprised.

The old emperor looked at Princess Cang Yue in disbelief. He could never have imagined that it would be her...

Princess Cang Yue smiled bitterly, and continued, "I also want to know why she treated me like this."

When the old emperor heard this, his face turned very ugly.

Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo in the room did not speak.

At this time, the house was very quiet.

After a moment, Princess Cang Yue spoke again, "Seventh Brother, Sister Jiang, I know that my father misunderstood you because of me. Now Cang Yue apologizes to you, and at the same time, Cang Yue hopes that you will not pursue what happened today."

"Princess, since you have said so, we have nothing to say. You should take good care of your injuries. The prince and I will go back first."

Jiang Yimo said this with a slight smile.

Then, she and Feng Wuhen took their leave from the emperor, and they quickly left Chonghua Palace.

As a result, they had not walked far when they were stopped by Eunuch Li from behind. Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen stopped and looked back. The old emperor was leading a group of palace servants chasing after them.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

After he finished speaking, the old emperor gave Eunuch Li and his companions a look, and they immediately retreated far away.

Seeing this, Jiang Yimo frowned, not knowing what the old emperor was going to do.

Later, the old emperor spoke: "Jiang girl, Hen'er once told me that you wanted to go to the library?"

Jiang Yimo was slightly startled when she heard this, and glanced at Feng Wuhen. Then, she immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the purpose of my coming to the Imperial City this time is to visit the library in the Imperial Palace."

The old emperor was a little surprised to see Jiang Yimo being so frank.

"Then you know that the library is a forbidden place in every dynasty. Only the chosen royal family members can enter with the pass token."

"I heard from the prince."

"If you really want to go in, I can make an exception and fulfill your wish, but I can't guarantee whether you can come out alive."
