"Judging from the pulse, the Empress Dowager is out of danger. Has anyone treated her before?"

Hearing this, Granny Chang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around and her gaze fell on Ye Qingwu.

When she left to go to the Imperial Hospital to fetch the imperial physician, only the Regent's Consort remained in Shou Kang Palace.

Could it be her...

While Granny Chang was speculating, Zhan Siwan on the ground suddenly cried out in surprise.

"It was that woman Ye Qingwu who, taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's unconsciousness, attempted to murder her with silver needles and even harmed me like this!"

"Imperial physicians, come quickly and examine this princess!"

The pain in her palm made Zhan Siwan howl in agony. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was unharmed, the crowd quickly gathered around Zhan Siwan.

After bandaging the wound, Granny Chang cautiously asked, "Sixth Princess, you just said that this matter is related to the Regent's Consort?"

"Yes! It's her!"

Zhan Siwan suddenly remembered the silver needle that had been stuck in her arm, which was now nowhere to be found, and her face turned deathly pale.

"Where's the needle... Ye Qingwu, where did that silver needle you threw go? Could it have gotten stuck in your flesh?"

"Physician Sun, please examine me immediately!"

Despite her fear, Zhan Siwan did not forget to give orders to Physician Sun.

"The Emperor has arrived."

As the eunuch shouted, Ye Qingwu looked toward the door and saw a middle-aged man in a dragon robe walking toward her, followed by a woman and a group of palace servants.

This must be the emperor, and as for the women beside him…

Just as Ye Qingwu was pondering, he heard Zhan Siwan shout loudly, "Father, Mother, you've finally arrived."

So it turns out she was Zhan Siwan's mother, a Noble Consort.

The Imperial Concubine approached Zhan Siwan and softly reminded her, "Siwan, what are you doing here?"

"It was Ye Qingwu who not only injured me with needles, but also harmed my grandmother."

"Father, you must arrest Ye Qingwu and execute him according to the law!"

"Ye Qingwu?"

Following the direction Zhan Siwan pointed, the Imperial Concubine quickly noticed the woman not far away. When she learned that the injury on Zhan Siwan's hand was caused by her, her expression darkened and her gaze became increasingly hostile.

At this moment, a palace maid stepped forward and reminded the Consort, "Your Highness, this Ye Qingwu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, and she recently married into the Regent's mansion."

"So it was the Regent's wife."

The emperor, having heard these words, paused for a few seconds when he looked at Ye Qingwu, before asking the imperial physician, "Imperial Physician Sun, how is the Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty, thanks to the timely treatment, the Empress Dowager's condition is now out of danger."

"We have to thank the Regent's wife for this."

"You mean the Regent's wife healed the Empress Dowager?"

The emperor was taken aback, clearly questioning the matter. Imperial Physician Sun cupped his hands in greeting, explaining that he had only said this because he had heard it from Zhan Siwan.

She is the only person who can use silver needles and is here to treat the Empress Dowager.

"Impossible! Physician Sun, are you out of your mind? I only saw Ye Qingwu trying to harm my grandmother with silver needles, how could she be the one treating her?"

"Father, you absolutely cannot forgive her!"

"But wasn't it the Sixth Princess who rushed in and made a scene in the first place? First, she ordered her maid to lay a hand on me, but when that failed, she tried to smash me with a vase. As for why your hand was injured, wasn't it because you fell to the ground and happened to get punctured by a shard of glass?"

They think they can tattle on others, as if no one can.

"Siwan, is this true?"
