The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

At this point, he turned to the Emperor, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister begs Your Majesty to seek justice for my granddaughter. I have lived a life of integrity and pride myself on the strict family traditions. I would never frame someone else's child or grandchild without cause. Madam Feng has falsely accused my son, Mu Xia, of harming Miss Feng. If you can provide evidence to prove that Mu Xia was the one who did it, then I am willing to put aside my own family ties and personally send her to the Dali Temple. If it was not Mu Xia who did it, I beg Your Majesty to give Mu Xia and the General's Mansion justice."

After saying that, he grabbed Li Muxia and made her kneel down.

The Emperor was also having a headache. One family was the head of the civil officials, and the other was the head of the military officials. Why did these two families have to run into trouble?

The Emperor helped the old general up and said, "Miss Feng, why did you say that Miss Li was the one who did it?"

Li Muxia also stood up. That kneeling was so real that she still had goosebumps all over her body and really wanted to rub her knees.

Feng Jingxin now regrets it a little, but the words have already been spoken, and it's too late now. Her mother has already made her position clear, and now she can only express her guess.

"Your Majesty, Xin'er and Miss Li had a disagreement because of His Highness Prince Chen."

She didn't say what the unpleasantness was about, but everyone could tell that it was nothing more than the former future Princess Consort harboring resentment towards the current future Princess Consort for stealing her husband.

Li Muxia sneered upon hearing this.

Feng Jingxin continued, "Xin'er knows that Miss Li harbors resentment towards her and has tried many times to reconcile with Miss Li, but each time she has been verbally humiliated by Miss Li."

"Today, Xin'er originally planned to watch the fireworks with a few girlfriends. On the way here, she ran into Miss Li. When Miss Li greeted Xin'er, Xin'er thought that Miss Li had forgiven her, so she went over."

"But after Xin'er went over, Miss Li suddenly almost fell, so Xin'er went to help her up. I don't know if it was during this process that Miss Li felt something for Xin'er..."

She didn't elaborate, but everyone understood. Feng Jingxin's words implied Li Muxia's resentment towards her.

After hearing Feng Jingxin's words, the Emperor did not completely believe them and asked, "Miss Li, is everything Miss Feng said true?"

Li Muxia: "It's all true."

Everyone gasped in shock after hearing this.

The Emperor then said, "So you admit that you laid a hand on Miss Feng."

Li Muxia quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Miss Feng is right. However, I really did not lay a hand on Miss Feng. Moreover, I was the one who saved Miss Feng just now. If I wanted to harm someone, why would I have gone to the trouble of saving her?"

Upon hearing this, everyone began to ponder again; it was indeed a contradiction.

Feng Jingxin never expected that it was Li Muxia who saved her. Could it be that she was really wronged today?

Li Muxia continued, "Miss Feng seems to suspect that I poisoned you. When we entered the palace, we were all searched by the maids. I am willing to be searched again now."

Seeing Li Muxia's open and honest expression, everyone actually believed what she said.

Li Muxia continued, "Now that the Physician is here, we can find out whether Miss Feng has been poisoned by asking the Physician. However, I heard that the Physician was invited by the Feng family, so I beg the Physician not to show favoritism."

The fake healer became somewhat nervous upon hearing Li Muxia mention his name. He had just checked Feng Jingxin's pulse and found no signs of poisoning. What was he supposed to say?

Upon hearing this, the Emperor asked, "Immortal Physician, when you took her pulse just now, was Miss Feng poisoned?"

The fake healer said to the emperor in a panic, "Your Majesty, Miss Feng has not been poisoned."

Upon hearing this result, Feng Jingxin and Madam Wei turned ashen-faced, while Prime Minister Feng and the other two men of the Feng family also wore grim expressions.

The phrase "fake doctor" is a way of explaining Li Muxia's innocence.

Some people in the crowd had already started talking about it.

Li Muxia seized the opportunity and knelt down with a "plop." The kneeling was so solid that even the Emperor felt a pang of discomfort upon hearing the sound.

Li Muxia regretted kneeling down as soon as she did. She had just recovered from the previous kneeling, and this one hurt even more, making her scalp tingle and her whole body break out in goosebumps. However, she had to keep up the act, so she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain to continue performing.

She spoke with a wronged tone, tears streaming down her face. These tears were spontaneous, saving her the trouble of gathering her emotions.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I never expected that my act of kindness in saving someone would lead to me being falsely accused of harming them. Who will be willing to lend a helping hand to others in the future?"

"Your Majesty, you must do me justice. Just now, Miss Feng accused me of harboring resentment towards her, but I truly do not. I have no complaints about Your Majesty's annulment of the engagement. I am self-aware enough to know that I was not worthy of His Highness Prince Chen before, and I wish His Highness's marriage well. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

“When Miss Feng asked me to make peace with her before, I just felt that it would be awkward for us to meet, given our different social statuses. So I always refused to have any contact with her. Every time I did, I was reminded of the ridiculous things I did back then.”

At this point, everyone felt some sympathy for Li Muxia.

Li Muxia has really changed a lot compared to before. Not only has she become more beautiful, but her personality and temper have also improved a lot.

After listening to Li Muxia's words, the Emperor said, "You've been wronged, girl. Now that things are clear and everyone knows you're innocent, get up quickly."

Li Muxia: "Your Majesty is wise." After saying that, Li Muxia tried to get up, but found that she couldn't. Even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain in her knees.

Cui'er noticed her young mistress's embarrassment and quickly stepped forward to help Li Muxia up. When no one was looking, Dongfang Jincheng looked at Li Muxia with a pained expression.

After Li Muxia got up, the old general spoke up: "Your Majesty, now the truth is out. The Feng family has wronged Muxia so much. Shouldn't we give an explanation?"

The Emperor looked at the old general with some difficulty and asked, "General, how do you intend to resolve this matter?"

The old general glanced at Li Muxia and said, "Your Majesty, Muxia has been wronged in this matter, and we should ask for her opinion."

The Emperor then said, "Li Muxia, you have been wronged by what happened today. How do you wish to resolve this matter? As long as it is not excessive, I will grant your request."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Feng Jingxin looked annoyed.

She now truly regrets her impulsive words, which provoked her mother to say those things, leading to the current situation.
