“In that case, I thought about the possible presence of musk on the Third Prince’s wound.”
“Go on.” Chu Mingyuan examined her closely.
“Just as the court physicians mentioned, spring is the mating season for wild beasts. Tigresses also need to mate, and they may carry traces of male musk. What’s so unusual about it? It injured the Third Prince again. Is it so illogical for the Third Prince’s wound to have musk on it?”
Su Yingxue blinked her big, watery eyes, sincerity filling them.
After she spun such a tale, everyone present found no valid reason to refute her.
Especially the court physicians who had just spoken, their faces turned even greener, and they seemed to wish they could slap themselves. contemporary romance
“You… You’re using sophistry! You’re the one who harmed my son!” The empress was on the verge of hysteria!
Su Yingxue had already said everything, so how could she be in the right?
No!
She couldn’t be in the right now!
“Emperor, 1 am willing to testify for Dr. Su. She did not intentionally harm the Third Prince!” When Lin Sisi received the news, she rushed into the hall and knelt with Su Yingxue.
Behind her, Lin Aotian, the demon who protected his daughter, also came. “Emperor, Dr. Su is a benevolent doctor. She would never do anything to harm others. Moreover, she has no grudge against the Third Prince. Why would she harm the Prince? This is a serious crime!”
Chu Mingyuan’s already furrowed brows tightened even more.
“Nonsense! Lin Aotian and Lin Sisi, both of you have been bribed by Su Yingxue, haven’t you? I will not forgive you!” The empress roared hysterically. At this moment, the only difference between her and the shrew in the market was a phoenix crown.
Lin Sisi sneered and said, “Father and 1 haven’t been bribed! Ordinary people can’t buy us!”
Lin Aotian affirmed that he was as steadfast as his daughter.
Disappointed, Chu Mingyuan glanced at the empress. “Alright, I’ve made my judgment. This matter has nothing to do with Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue, you may leave now.”
He firmly pronounced his decision and released Su Yingxue.
The empress was almost unhinged. “Emperor, how can you do this? How can you let Su Yingxue go? She harmed Xiuwen! Xiuwen is our son!”
“What else do you expect me to do? Do you have any evidence? Has anyone witnessed her harming Xiuwen firsthand? Do you want me to unjustly convict someone?” Chu Mingyuan angrily shook off the empress and turned to leave. “Proceed to Consort Xiang’s palace.”
His departure at this moment was a cutting remark, plunging deeply into the empress’s heart.
Noble Consort Xiao observed the weeping empress and felt some sympathy.
“Tsk, tsk, Empress, it’s better to return to the palace and rest early. This is truly embarrassing!”
“Noble Consort Xiao, it’s not your place to discuss my mother!” Chu Chengye shouted at her.
Noble Consort Xiao sneered, disdainful of arguing with someone of lower rank.
However, as she passed by Su Yingxue, she beamed radiantly. “Miss Su’s performance today was truly splendid. 1 have a reward for you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Su Yingxue found the reward puzzling but sensed that Noble Consort Xiao was an intriguing person.
“Let’s go, Dr. Su, I’ll escort you back!”
Once everyone departed, Lin Sisi held Su Yingxue’s hand joyfully, reminiscent of a child.
She didn’t feel any pressure from Chu Yihan whatsoever. While walking, she smiled at Su Yingxue. “Dr. Su, you’re amazing! You taught the Third Prince a lesson, he could only suffer in silence! Just thinking about it makes me feel better!”
Suddenly, Su Yingxue sensed an immense pressure behind her. She turned around and saw Chu Yihan looking at her with a dark expression..
