The Crown Prince frowned deeply. Was Zhao Yunmin going to try and smear Liang Qiuli again?

With so many princes, nobles, and ministers' families present, if she were to say something she shouldn't, not only Liang Qiuli, but even he, the future emperor, would be accused of illegitimate accession to the throne.

What are her intentions!

His face was grim, and his voice was icy.

"Zhao Yunmin, how dare you spout such nonsense! Guards, gag her and take her away to be severely flogged fifty times!"

"It's her... Waaah..."

The guards didn't dare to delay. Before Zhao Yunmin could even speak, they gagged her and dragged her outside.

Although the person was taken away, everyone else's gaze followed the direction Zhao Yunmin had just pointed and looked at the Crown Princess.

The crown prince was consumed by rage; he hadn't expected that Zhao Yunmin truly wanted him dead.

They even dared to accuse the Crown Princess of harming the Emperor in front of everyone. How is that any different from accusing the Crown Prince of patricide?

Liang Qiuli noticed that the Crown Princess beside her was starting to sweat because everyone was staring at her.

She deliberately had Zhao Yunmin released today, in order to completely remove her from the Crown Prince's heart and make him give up on Zhao Yunmin.

Another point is to start tarnishing the Crown Princess's reputation.

With these people watching, the Crown Princess, who originally didn't want to explain, had no choice but to speak up and defend herself.

"That person is a clown, her words are completely... "

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Qiuli suddenly clutched her stomach, her face contorted in pain, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Your Highness, I...I...am in pain..."

"Li'er, what's wrong with you?"

The Crown Prince immediately became nervous, quickly walked to Liang Qiuli's side, supported her, and asked with concern.

"What are you all standing there for? Little Li, go and fetch the imperial physician!"

Liang Qiuli looked at the Crown Prince, who seemed flustered but was actually relieved because of her sudden pain, and sneered inwardly.

However, she still appeared weak and even slightly frightened.

"I don't know either, it's just that my stomach is hurting in waves! You tell me... should I... should I..."

As she spoke, Liang Qiuli's voice gradually lowered, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had a terminal illness.

The people around were also surprised that Consort Liang would suddenly do such a thing. Her abdominal pain seemed genuine, and they all stood there stunned for a moment.

They exchanged a glance, knowing that the topic about the late emperor was now completely over.

The Crown Prince naturally knew this as well, and his heart was in his throat again. He kept his eyes fixed on Liang Qiuli, hoping that her stomach pain was real. Otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing if the imperial physician found out when he arrived.

"The imperial physician has arrived!"

With so many women entering the palace to keep vigil, the imperial physicians were naturally on standby.

The imperial physician rushed over with his medicine box. He was startled to see the pale face and cold sweat on the forehead, but he still followed the rules and stepped forward to pay his respects.

"No need for formalities, come quickly and let the concubine see you first."

The Crown Prince looked anxious, so even if Liang Qiuli was perfectly fine, he would still find something wrong with her.

The imperial physician dared not delay and quickly took Liang Qiuli's pulse.

This……

The imperial physician frowned slightly; he was indeed unsure about this matter.

"Your Highness, shall we also have another imperial physician take your pulse?"

The emperor physician's words elicited various thoughts from the crowd.

Some people think that Consort Liang's ability to extricate herself from the predicament was still insufficient, and that she actually resorted to feigning illness. If the imperial physician exposed her, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
