Chapter 267 Is it worth it for Lin Jiaoyue?

All the women who came to Zhengyang Palace to watch the ceremony today were shrewd people...

Seeing that the Queen and Concubine Shu were silently exchanging witticisms, someone immediately found an excuse to leave. This was the Queen's most embarrassing moment, so naturally no one would stop them.

One person took the lead and everyone left.

How could Princess Lingxi not see at this moment that someone was taking advantage of the opportunity to deliberately sabotage her coming-of-age ceremony? She had been obsessed with getting the Emperor and Empress of the Great Zhou to support her so that she could marry into the Great Zhou royal family in the future, but now...

I have become the talk of the town among the powerful and influential. What topic could be more controversial than a death at a coming-of-age ceremony?

She was still angry, but she also knew that this was not the time to seek justice, so she had to say that she was frightened and returned to the palace first...

Soon, only the Queen and Concubine Shu were left in Zhengyang Palace.

Although the queen stood at the top, she lacked the domineering aura. The corpse of the palace maid outside Zhengyang Palace made her know that she was framed, but she had no way to defend herself.

Concubine Shu stood below, quietly gazing at the Empress. After a moment, she bowed gracefully, "I believe His Majesty has already received the news and will soon come to Zhengyang Palace to question the Empress. It is said that the Emperor and Empress's deep affection cannot tolerate another person. In that case, I will not disturb you any further and will take my leave."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Just as Concubine Shu was about to cross the threshold, the Queen said coldly, "Concubine Shu thinks you can frame me and get what you want by using this method?"

Without even turning her head, Concubine Shu said, "I don't have any desires. It's just that the years in the palace are long, and I don't like being too bored..."

After saying this, he left with the palace maids.

You ruined my son, and I ruined your son. Since we are both unscrupulous people, what is the point of putting on a show?

The figure of Concubine Shu disappeared from the sight, and the Queen said in a deep voice: "Get up."

Nanny He Wan didn't dare to stand up: "It's my fault! I didn't see that Xiaoyan was harboring evil intentions, and I never thought that Concubine Shu would plot against me like this."

"She is not targeting you. Her target is me." The queen murmured.

"The emperor has arrived!" This was the voice of Eunuch Yao.

For many years, the emperor walked towards us with this voice that was half familiar and half friendly.

But today, all the queen heard was a chilling chill.

...The lights in the Imperial Medical Bureau were on, and almost all the imperial doctors who were good at treating external injuries were gathered here.

And almost everyone is helpless.

The fourth prince Wu Tianqi came rushing over to inquire about the situation. He ignored the imperial physician's dissuasion and rushed into the room. What caught his eyes was Lin Jiaoyue's bloodstained face.

One half of the picture was burnt, with a hint of white faintly visible.

"Why is that?" he asked.

Accompanying him was Imperial Physician Liao, the head of the Imperial Hospital. Hearing this, he whispered, "Your Highness... those are bones."

"Ugh!" Wu Tianqi almost vomited, but he quickly used his internal energy to suppress it to avoid losing his composure on the spot.

"Your Highness..." Lin Jiaoyue whispered, looking at him with pain in her eyes.

But in Wu Tianqi's eyes, this look was like that of a ghost filled with resentment. He suppressed the nausea in his heart, moved forward, held her hand, lowered his eyes and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the imperial physician will have a way."

"It was Cheng Jintong who hurt me! She hurt me!" She was shaking with pain, her nails almost digging into Wu Tianqi's arm. "Your Highness, avenge me!"

Wu Tianqi nodded randomly: "Don't worry, she is now detained in Zhengyang Palace and will be interrogated by His Majesty himself. He will definitely give you justice."

"Hmm..." Lin Jiaoyue said hoarsely, "Your Highness, I don't want to have a scar. Please tell the imperial physician that I cannot have a scar..."

Wu Tianqi glanced at her quickly, then hurriedly lowered his head. He turned to Liao Changshi who was standing beside him and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Liao Changshi: “…”

He is already so badly injured that even a god cannot save him.

Seeing his apprehensive expression, Wu Tianqi understood. He had always been known for his tolerance, so why would he embarrass the Imperial Physician for Lin Jiaoyue? However, with the Imperial Hospital's staff around, he couldn't ignore her. So, he forced himself to appear affectionate, "Don't worry, I'll find you the best medicine in the world, and I'll definitely not leave you with any scars!"

Wu Tianqi's words made Liao Changshi sigh in his heart: This Fourth Prince is really an infatuated person! But Miss Lin's face is really hopeless!

"Go find Xu Rongrong!" Lin Jiaoyue suddenly screamed, "She has medicine!"

Her eyes widened, her expression becoming even more terrifying. "When Marquis Weiyuan was shot by an arrow in the hunting palace, the entire Imperial Hospital was helpless, yet she was the one who used medicine to revive him. She must have a way to save me!"

Lin Jiaoyue's hands were shaking, as if she had found a life-saving straw.

"Go find her, go find Xu Rongrong!"

Liao Changshi was embarrassed when he heard this: "To disturb the Princess Ping'an so late... Your humble servant..."

He was just a chief official of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and was only called to see patients in the middle of the night. How could he have the qualifications to disturb the noble?

Wu Tianqi naturally understood, so he stood up and said, "I will go there myself."

If he went there as the Fourth Prince, Xu Rongrong would probably give him some respect. Moreover, using this as an excuse, he could stay away from the terrifying Lin Jiaoyue...

But what he didn't expect was that when he personally rode his horse to Zhuxiang Yayuan, he met Mu Rong outside the door, who was sitting in a daze on the carriage frame. From the looks of him, it seemed that he had been here for some time.

"Why is Brother Rong here?" Wu Tianqi suppressed the purpose of his visit and asked first.

Mu Rong saw that it was him, so he jumped down from the carriage and stepped forward to greet him. He then said, "The county lady is recuperating here and refused to see me. Your Highness, I am ashamed of you."

Wu Tianqi's heart skipped a beat. If Princess Ping'an fell ill and refused to see her fiancé, it would be difficult for him to come and ask for medicine. So he asked tentatively, "Is Ping'an ill? Is it serious?"

Mu Rong did not answer, and seemed to feel a little aggrieved.

"Your Highness, you don't know that the county lady is worried." Seeing this, Mu Yi, who was turned away here together with Mu Rong, hurried forward to report.

He recounted how Xu Rongrong's mount had been attacked in the southern suburbs, and how she had been suffering from the shock of the attack. Of course, he couldn't reveal Xu Rongrong's poisoning. Finally, he said, "The county lady asked the marquis to find the murderer, but the man was hiding so well that there has been no progress. Now the county lady is annoyed at the marquis's incompetence."

Wu Tianqi was shocked when he heard this.

After a falling out with Lin Jiaoyue, Cheng Jintong learns that the emperor has granted her to him as his principal wife. He then orders his men to reveal Lin Jiaoyue's plots against others over the years, including how she planted a thief in the Xu residence, poisoned Xu Rongrong's mount, and nearly killed her. Unexpectedly, Xu Rongrong survived, but became ill from the search for the truth.

Since he knew the truth from Cheng Jintong, he thought it couldn't be concealed for long. Now he had to come and ask for medicine for Lin Jiaoyue...

It is conceivable that when the truth comes out, he will immediately have two more enemies among the royal family.

Is it worth it for Lin Jiaoyue?
