You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?
Chapter 227 Confrontation
Yunmeng Palace
"Your Highness..."
"How is the investigation going? Who tampered with the medicine to make this king so embarrassed?"
As soon as the guard stepped into Yunmeng Palace, Wanyan Hongwei couldn't wait to ask questions before he had time to catch his breath.
His face was extremely cold, as if he was ready to eat someone.
Du Zhirou, who was standing aside, was terrified and felt very uncertain and uneasy at the moment.
"I haven't found any problems yet. I took the drug residue to the Imperial Hospital for a look, and they said there was nothing wrong..."
The guard's investigation yielded no results, so he naturally had no confidence to reply.
His voice gradually became thinner, like the buzz of a mosquito.
Fortunately, Wanyan Hongwei heard it clearly and became furious instantly:
"Useless! They are all a bunch of useless! They can't even understand a simple prescription or the residue of the medicine. What's the point of keeping those doctors?"
"I will go find my brother and ask him to withdraw the Imperial Hospital immediately!"
Upon learning that no one in the Imperial Medical Service could see the problem, Wanyan Hongwei became extremely angry, with veins popping out on his face.
He had made a big mistake without knowing it, and now the people of the whole city were condemning him and Du Zhirou. How could Wanyan Hongwei not be angry?
He wanted to go out right now and prove his innocence to the people of the city, but he was troubled by the lack of any evidence.
"Your Highness, what should we do now? I think the news will soon reach the ears of the King and the Queen..."
Worried that Wanyan Hongwei might get too angry and forget to clean up the mess, the guard quickly stepped forward and carefully reminded him.
"Damn it! Find a way to suppress public opinion and never let my brother know about this.
If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will kill him!"
"Yes! Your Highness! I will take my leave!"
Soon, the guard received the order and left.
Du Zhirou was afraid that the maids would leak the news, so she sent them away.
At this time, only Du Zhirou and Wanyan Hongwei were left in Yunmeng Palace.
"Your Highness, there is something I want to say... I don't know whether I should say it or not."
After the door was closed, Du Zhirou walked up to Wanyan Hongwei tremblingly, looking extremely uneasy.
Wanyan Hongwei heard this and looked up at her: "You say."
"I suspect that Du Qingwan tampered with my medicine, which led to the poisoning of so many refugees and civilians."
"Is there any evidence?"
Wanyan Hongwei was still puzzled and extremely puzzled.
Although Wanyan Hongwei had some affection for Du Zhirou, he was still skeptical about what she said.
In his opinion, Du Qingwan is not that kind of villain.
“Because my recipe is not an ordinary one, it can be regarded as an ancestral recipe, which was taught to me by my master.
I guess no doctor in Loulan can understand it, but Du Qingwan is different."
Du Zhirou paused suddenly when she said this.
After thinking for a few seconds, she quietly observed Wanyan Hongwei's reaction from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he looked very interested, she continued:
"Du Qingwan and I have lived under the same roof since she was young, and she would sneak a peek at and steal many of my toys, calligraphy and paintings.
In the past, she often stole some of my prescriptions, causing me to be severely punished by my master. So..."
"So you suspect that Du Qingwan deliberately framed us?"
As soon as Du Zhirou finished her words, Wanyan Hongwei quickly interrupted her with a look of disbelief on his face.
It is undeniable that before this, he had never suspected that it was Du Qingwan who was responsible.
Overall, Du Qingwan left a pretty good impression on Wanyan Hongwei. At least she wasn't that scheming.
After hearing what Du Zhirou said, Wanyan Hongwei suddenly became suspicious and began to feel uneasy.
"Rou'er, Du Qingwan is the queen. Not only is she favored by the prince, she is also deeply loved by the people of Loulan. You and I cannot easily frame her."
"If we don't have sufficient evidence, not only will we not be able to clear our name, we may even be charged with conspiracy to usurp the throne."
Wanyan Hongwei quickly reminded her for fear that Du Zhirou would take revenge on him and accidentally implicate him.
But at this moment, he was still half-believing and half-doubting in his heart.
After all, Du Qingwan and Wanyan Hongze's behavior today was indeed very strange and weird.
The two of them acted as if they had discussed it beforehand. At first they wanted to stop Du Zhirou from providing medicine to the refugees, but in the end they simply ignored it.
This doesn't seem like Du Qingwan's usual behavior at all.
In such an important occasion, if done well, not only can Du Qingwan regain the face she lost because of the poison, but she can also clear her name again.
There is no reason for her to refuse!
But in fact, Du Qingwan really left gracefully.
It was the first time that Wanyan Hongwei saw Du Qingwan take the initiative to give way!
When something goes wrong, there will be a monster, and when people go wrong, there will be a sword.
"Your Highness, don't you think this is very strange?
Du Qingwan has always been competitive and wanted to be the center of attention. But today, look at her! She did it on purpose!"
Before Wanyan Hongwei had time to express his thoughts, Du Zhirou couldn't help but speak.
There is nothing wrong with that; what she said was consistent with what Wanyan Hongwei thought.
"I think so too. But we have no evidence. What should we do? Alas~"
Wanyan Hongwei now really agreed with Du Zhirou's idea.
But the person he was facing was not ordinary people, but his brother, the king Wanyan Hongze.
The King of Loulan who was superior to him in every way.
"Your Highness, I have a solution! Let's go and ask Du Qingwan for an explanation now!"
What shocked Wanyan Hongwei was that before he could think of a way to find out the truth, Du Zhirou pulled him out of Yunmeng Palace with a confident look on her face.
"Rou'er, do you have any good ideas? Wouldn't it be too rash for us to just go over and question Wang's wife and brother?"
Wanyan Hongwei knew how powerful Wanyan Hongze was, so he naturally didn't dare to go to him to ask for an explanation, so he grabbed Du Zhirou and asked her.
But Du Zhirou seemed to be completely sure of herself, and she subconsciously curled the corners of her lips, revealing a smug look that no one could understand:
"Your Highness, just follow me. Please don't worry, I have a way to prove that we are innocent!"
Hearing this, Wanyan Hongwei didn't say anything else and let Du Zhirou drag him towards Tianze Palace.
But the two of them didn't know that after returning from the porridge distribution site, Wanyan Hongze and Du Qingwan did not return to Tianze Palace, but went directly to the clinic.
When they heard from several maids that Du Qingwan and Wanyan Hongze had gone to the clinic, they rode their horses at full speed to rush to the clinic.
Tianhe Medical Clinic
When the two arrived, there was already a long line outside the clinic, and Du Qingwan and Wanyan Hongze were busy inside, and even Abao and Zhao'er were the same.
"Du Qingwan, come out here! Do you think I can't find out what you did to my medicine?"
Du Zhirou completely disregarded her image, kicked open the door of the clinic, and walked in cursing.
Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but whisper and talk among themselves. It seemed that they were no longer interested in treating the disease, but instead liked gossip more.
"That's right! Brother Wang, your tricks behind the scenes are getting more and more sophisticated! Why didn't I see it before?"
As soon as Du Zhirou finished speaking, Wanyan Hongwei actually echoed her with an arrogant and domineering attitude.
This was the first time Wanyan Hongze had seen Wanyan Hongwei like this, and he almost suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Du Zhirou, what exactly do you mean by this?
What medicine has been tampered with? I don’t understand what you are talking about! "
Du Qingwan knew that there was something wrong with the medicine, but she didn't understand why Du Zhirou said that she was the one who tampered with it.
