The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Fang Qingyou glanced at the young man who could barely hide the smile on his lips, then turned her gaze back to Luo Qianhao: "Your Highness has a heart that loves the people, which is a blessing for us common folk. With you handling this matter fairly, I believe that my injustice will soon be redressed. However, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

She had finally managed to provoke Luo Qianhao, so she wouldn't let him become a helper to the young man.

Upon hearing this, the young man tensed up and glared angrily at Fang Qingyou: "Miss Fang, what tricks are you up to?"

What he was really thinking was, was she trying to use their relationship to force Luo Qianhao to side with her? But he didn't dare say it out loud.

"What is it?" Luo Qianhao asked, puzzled. He was actually afraid that Fang Qingyou would make a request that would put him in a difficult position.

He and Luo Qianmo were brothers with deep affection, but in public, he naturally couldn't let his reputation be damaged for Fang Qingyou's sake.

Fang Qingyou replied calmly, "Your Highness, I would like to ask you to let me examine this old man's condition first. Since he received a free medical consultation from Cheng'an Medical Hall and collapsed in front of my clinic, I have the responsibility to ascertain his true condition."

Before Fang Qingyou could finish speaking, the young man immediately retorted, "No, what if you do something shady?"

Fang Qingyou's lips curled into an amused smile: "If what you say is true, and Father has already passed away, what could I possibly do to make him die again? Or are you afraid that I might suddenly bring Father back to life?"

The young man was speechless, his eyes flickered, and he kept telling himself it was impossible.

Unless it's a divine being, Fang Qingyou is definitely going to die today.

Only after thinking this way did the young man feel at ease.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou said to Luo Qianhao, "Your Highness, after I have personally examined my father's condition, you are free to have someone investigate further. If my father's accident was indeed caused by Cheng'an Medical Clinic, and you are willing to take responsibility, then you will be punished without question. However, if someone has ulterior motives and deliberately causes trouble to slander Cheng'an Medical Clinic, then I will ask Your Highness to stand up for me."

Upon hearing Fang Qingyou's words, the young man almost burst out laughing.

Fang Qingyou's self-destructive act has actually saved him a lot of trouble.

He was initially worried that Luo Qianhao would side with Fang Qingyou, but now he wasn't afraid anymore. With Fang Qingyou's words and so many witnesses, Luo Qianhao would only do such a thing if he were crazy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhongjie's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt before Luo Qianhao: "Your Highness, I treated my father's illness. If anything happens to him, it is all my fault, and I will take full responsibility. It has nothing to do with Miss Fang."

Meanwhile, unable to get a word in edgewise, She Yuyan kept shaking her head at Fang Qingyou in frustration, but Fang Qingyou seemed not to see her at all.

Fang Qingyou insisted, "Your Highness, he is merely a doctor employed by Cheng'an Medical Hall, while I am the head of Cheng'an Medical Hall. Whatever happens in the medical hall, I am responsible for it without hesitation. I hope Your Highness will grant my request."

Luo Qianhao hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, Miss Fang, I grant your request."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhongjie bit his lip, Dr. Sun swayed in fright, and She Yuyan turned pale.

Fang Qingyou, however, remained calm, as if the matter she was facing was insignificant.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Fang Qingyou bowed to Luo Qianhao again, then turned and walked towards her father on the ground.

The young man, who had previously tried to block Fang Qingyou, was now quickly making way for her, his eyes filled with a triumphant smile.

Fang Qingyou didn't even glance at the young man. She quickly walked to her father, squatted down, and placed her finger on his wrist to check his pulse.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Fang Qingyou's expression remained unchanged, leaving everyone guessing about her father's true condition.

However, Fang Qingyou's mood was not as calm as her expression.

In fact, Fang Qingyou was very nervous. Just as she had guessed, although her father was not dead yet, his pulse was extremely weak, and he was barely clinging to life. He might die at any moment.

Similarly, Fang Qingyou was furious. Her father shouldn't have been in such a state. The reason the situation suddenly became so dangerous was because her son had dealt him a cruel blow.

She didn't know who this young man had received or what benefits he had received to force her and Cheng'an Medical Clinic into a dead end, but she absolutely could not accept such a cruel act of patricide.

Fang Qingyou took a deep breath, suppressing all these emotions.

At this moment, the most important thing to do is to save Dad's life.

She absolutely would not allow the villains to frame Chen Zhongjie, would not allow An Medical Clinic to be slandered, and would not allow an innocent life to die so tragically.

Fang Qingyou continued to take her father's pulse, her gaze carefully and quickly scanning him to see if she could find any clues.

My father just has some rheumatism in his lower back and legs; it's not a fatal or acute illness.

He had suddenly fainted due to heatstroke, but after being treated by Chen Zhongjie, it was impossible for him to faint again, let alone lose his breath.

In this situation, there is only one possibility: he has been poisoned.

The poison must have entered the body when Chen Zhongjie treated him; the only person who could have done it so silently was a young man.

In full view of everyone, for a young man to remain undetected, the location where he poisoned the victim should be difficult for an ordinary person to notice.

Moreover, the poisoning occurred in such a short time that it must have been a vital organ with a very high degree of exposure.

Putting these inferences together, Fang Qingyou quickly noticed something unusual about her father's nose.

There was some extremely fine dust in the old man's nostrils. Because his nose hairs were thick and black, this dust was easily noticeable from Fang Qingyou's angle.

However, because of the old man's poor appearance and tattered clothes, most people would only think that he had inhaled something when they saw the dust, and would not think that it was poison.

Fang Qingyou didn't want to reveal her discovery too early, but she also wanted to verify her guess, so she only glanced at the young man secretly.

Given the way the young man was supporting his father, and the fact that the father had inhaled poison powder through his nose, the most likely and convenient place for the young man to hide the evidence would be his waist.

At a glance, Fang Qingyou noticed a very obvious crease on the left side of the middle of the young man's belt.

Even if someone saw the crease, most people wouldn't think much of it. Moreover, because he was feeling guilty, the young man would always intentionally or unintentionally cover up that crease when he was doing something, making it difficult for people to see.

Now, perhaps because the young man felt he had the situation under control, he relaxed a bit and became less cautious.
