Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess

Chapter 45 Investigation of the Cause

Chu Mingcui felt that her grandfather was a little worried. She said, "Don't worry, grandfather. Yuan

Qingling can't get rid of the charges. The retired emperor's condition is already very serious and he's C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

now even more poisoned and unconscious. How can he be saved? As long as the retired emperor

collapsed, no matter what the cause is, the retired emperor's condition will worsen due to private

treatment, let alone the credit."

In the front court of the imperial palace, it was so mysterious that she could not see through it, let alone

Yuan Qingling.

Now that the situation was so complicated and Yu Wenhao was involved in the danger of hurting

himself, Prince Yu’s residence was at its end.

At the thought of Yu Wenhao, she still felt a little sorry for him. However, it was important to achieve

great things and not care about trifles.

"Don't be too sure. There are always variables before everything reaches the last step." Master Chu

suddenly stared at her. "It wasn't you who poisoned the retired emperor, was it?"

Chu Mingcui was shocked. "We definitely didn't do it. Even if we gave my granddaughter great

courage, we wouldn't dare to poison the retired emperor."

Master Chu nodded slightly and lowered his eyelids. "It's good that it's not you. I'll investigate why Yuan

Qingling knows medical skills. You can leave now."

Chu Mingcui got up and left.

She walked out of the study room and saw the setting sun outside. When she thought of Yu Wenhao,

her heart was filled with unwillingness.

She had thought that he would never forget his feelings, but after the conversation on the Culture

Tower, she had already felt that he was distant and cold.

Did he have Yuan Qingling in his heart? How could such a shallow woman deserve him?

She guessed that the reason why Yuan Qingling treated the retired emperor was that after she went to

Prince Yu’s residence to see Yu Wenhao's injury, she heard from Yu Wenqing that Yu Wenhao's injury

was completely controlled by Yuan Qingling. She thought about it for a while and realized that the

retired emperor suddenly got better that day. It should be because of Yuan Qingling.

Back then, she had been staring at the inside of the tent curtain. Yuan Qingling had pounced in front of

the retired emperor. According to her usual character, she would not have gotten close to a dying

person if she had not moved.

It was dangerous to ask her aunt to test her, but now, it was time to take risks. Fortunately, everything

was right.

With a smile on her lips, she ordered the maid beside her, "Go and stop Lord Yuan. Ask him to see me

in the prince's house."

How could she not understand what Lord Yuan was waiting for? She needed to arrange manpower for

Prince Wenqing. Once she competed for the position, Lord Yuan could also make some effort to wait.

The maid took the order and left.

She then ordered the old maid, "Go inform Prince Wenqing and prepare to enter the imperial palace."

The old maid was stunned for a moment. "Didn't we agree to go back to the mansion?"

"When did I say I would go back?" Chu Mingcui glanced at the old maid indifferently.

"Didn't you just call me?”

Chu Mingcui said coldly, "Then ask him to wait. If I don't leave the imperial palace at 9 o'clock tonight,

tell him to come back tomorrow. If he still has the patience, I will see him."

The old maid was puzzled. "Why, Your Highness?"

She curled her lips into a cold smile. "I want to ruin the morale of the Lord Yuan's Mansion and let them

realize that he is just a dog in front of me. Only when they realize this will they be absolutely loyal to

me."

After that, she gracefully walked down the stone step by step.

In the imperial palace.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Emperor Mingyuan asked Mu Ru to invite Yuan Qingling to the

Qinkun Palace.

Yu Wenhao looked at her with a hint of worry in his eyes. "Be careful. Don't act rashly."

"I know." Yuan Qingling replied.

She felt warm in her heart, because Yu Wenhao was not too bad.

Mu Ru led Yuan Qingling out from the side door and did not go through the royal workroom.

When they arrived at the Qinkun Palace, they saw Emperor Mingyuan and Prince Rui.

Queen Mother, who had been by Retired Emperor's side the entire time, didn't come. Queen did not

come.

The imperial physician, servant Chang, Nurse Xi, waited on her in front of the bed again. Lucky was

carried to the Arhat bed to recuperate and was much more energetic. When it saw Yuan Qingling, it

groaned.

Yuan Qingling glanced at Lucky and hissed. Lucky was quieted.

Seeing this, Prince Rui smiled and said, "This little beast still listens to you? It's strange."

Yuan Qingling smiled. "Dogs understand human."

"That's true. Otherwise, why would Retired Emperor be so happy? This dog is sometimes more

thorough than humans." Prince Rui said thoughtfully, and then glanced at Emperor Mingyuan.

Emperor Mingyuan also glanced back at Prince Rui indifferently. Was he saying that he couldn't see it

clearly?

He said to Yuan Qingling, "Since you know medical skills, you should go and check Retired Emperor."

Yuan Qingling walked over.

Nurse Xi and servant Chang retreated. She looked at the Retired Emperor's expression and then

asked the imperial physician next to her, "Has the Retired Emperor been poisoned?"

The imperial physician had just witnessed how powerful Yuan Qingling was in treating Prince Wenhao

and his attitude had become a little respectful. He said, "Princess, Retired Emperor is indeed showing

signs of being poisoned."

"Can you show me the diagnosis journal?"

The imperial physician took out the medicine chest and handed it to her. "Have a look, Princess."

Yuan Qingling opened it and flipped through the records of Retired Emperor from last night. He vomited

blood twice before passing out. His pulse slowed down and he felt powerless. Purple scabs appeared

on his lips and he was first poisoned.

It was not written here that he had been poisoned for what.

As for the prescription under the disease, it was the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine. Yuan

Qingling knew that it was the prescription for detoxification, but after taking the prescription, it also said

that the situation had not been eased.

In other words, there was no matching medicine.

She kept looking up and found that Retired Emperor had always taken a pill called Activation Pill.

"What is Activation Pill made of?" Yuan Qingling asked.

"The Activation Pill is specially made for Queen Mother. It can remove wind evil and stabilize the

foundation. Queen Mother took it well, so she ordered Retired Emperor to take it. The refining method

of Activation Pill is on the first page..." The imperial physician came over to help her turn to the first

page and showed it to Yuan Qingling.

There was nothing suspicious about the refining of Atractylodes, Cinnabar, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae,

Platycladi Seed, Chinese Angelica, and so on.

"Can I have a look at Activation Pill?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Servant Chang said, "There's medicine in the palace. It's Retired Emperor's usual medicine, so it's

ready."

Servant Chang walked down the stairs and took out a box. He handed it to Yuan Qingling. Yuan

Qingling opened the box. There were 12 slots in the box and there were 12 pills in it. Now, he had

taken 10 pills and there were still two left.

Servant Chang was stunned for a moment. "Eh? There are three left. Why is there one missing?"

"One is missing?" Yuan Qingling's heart skipped a beat. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Every day, I serve Retired Emperor to take medicine, and the last time, I gave him medicine.

I remember clearly that there are three pills."

Yuan Qingling said solemnly, "Servant Chang, can you remember it and make sure it's true? This is a

very important matter."

Servant Chang said unhappily, "Can I make a mistake about this? When I gave the medicine last time,

Lucky suddenly called out. He startled me. The medicine fell to the ground. I picked it up, and put it on

the table. I'm sure it's three."

"The medicine fell on the ground? Is the order chaotic?"

"What's wrong with the order of chaos? The medicine is the same." Servant Chang said.

Yuan Qingling said, "I'm afraid not."

She walked down and put the medicine on the table. The two pills were arranged separately. She took

a cup and smashed the medicine into pieces. When she saw the background, Yuan Qingling breathed

a sigh of relief and frowned. "Father, please take a look."
