Seeing Su Yingxue’s slight stunned, he immediately placed his hand on her shoulder. His broad palm grasped her petite, rounded shoulder, and his deep voice reassured her, “Don’t worry. With me here, even if Chu Xiuwen is injured, it won’t be a problem.”
Su Yingxue awkwardly chuckled.
How did you manage to guess correctly again?
However, this was a part of her deal with Sheng Ping. If she told Chu Yihan, she would inevitably contradict her previous statements and have to disclose everything!
Su Yingxue decided to endure it.
The Martial Virtue Hall was splendid and brightly lit.
The empress had been crying by Chu Mingyuan’s side. When she saw Su Yingxue enter, she pointed at her as if she had encountered an archenemy, “Emperor, it’s her who caused Xiuwen’s injury. Xiuwen is so badly hurt. You must seek justice for him, Emperor!”
Her cries grew even more miserable.
Chu Mingyuan’s face remained cold, and he didn’t pay much attention to her tears. There was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Noble Consort Xiao noticed this and lightly stroked her nails before speaking, “Empress, you should first inquire. What if you accuse someone wrongly? After all, the Third Prince is still unconscious.”
“Noble Consort Xiao, what business is it of yours!” The empress gritted her teeth and gave her a fierce glare with her eyes red from crying.
Noble Consort Xiao, gazing at her meticulously manicured and exquisite nails, snorted, “What? Even as a noble consort, don’t I have the right to speak in front of the Emperor?”
“I just want to make things difficult for you! Is that not allowed?” Noble Consort Xiao thought.
The empress was so furious that her entire body trembled. Just as she was about to argue with Noble Consort Xiao, Chu Mingyuan sternly shouted, “Enough! Empress, didn’t you suspect that Su Yingxue had something to do with Xiuwen’s injury? Now, in my presence, if you have evidence, present it.”
Su Yingxue tilted her head. It was evident to anyone in the hall that Chu Mingyuan was impatient with the empress, who was seeking his help in this matter.
Su Yingxue was also curious. Could the empress detect the musk scent left on her arrowhead?
“Ye’er, summon the court physicians!”
The empress wiped away her tears and waved her hand, instructing Chu Chengye to bring in two court physicians.
Chu Chengye had just finished examining Chu Xiuwen. His face resembled a stormy sky. When he entered, he gave Su Yingxue a fierce glare.
The two court physicians knelt in front of Chu Mingyuan. Chu Mingyuan first expressed concern, “How is Xiuwen’s condition?”
One of the court physicians replied, “Emperor, the Third Prince’s injuries are severe. He has been wounded by a fierce tiger in multiple places, and his leg bone was bitten. I’m afraid he will require several months of careful recuperation.”
Su Yingxue ruffled her hair. It seemed that she had been too lenient.
Perhaps she should have used a heavier dose of musk scent!
In that case, Chu Xiuwen would have lost half his life.
Chu Mingyuan felt deeply for his son. He instructed the court physicians to take good care of him and then inquired, “The empress summoned you. What have you discovered on Xiuwen?”
Another older court physician spoke slowly, “Emperor, on the surface, it appears that the Third Prince was wounded by a fierce tiger. However, 1 found something unusual in the wound on the Third Prince’s face. In that wound, there was the scent of musk!”
“In the midst of spring, when wild beasts are in heat, they would target the Third Prince upon detecting the musk scent. Therefore, I suspect that the Third Prince’s severe injury was intentionally caused by someone.”
The slightly younger court physician beside him added, “Furthermore, the Third Prince was injured and developed a fever. He kept mentioning that Su Yingxue harmed him. This matter… is likely connected to Miss Su.”
“Emperor, you have heard it, haven’t you? With the testimony of the court physicians, it’s evident that Xiuwen was poisoned by Su Yingxue! She has a ruthless heart and great audacity to have done such a cruel thing to Xiuwen!”
The empress hastily knelt in front of Chu Mingyuan and cried..
