Medical Princess Chapter 789 - Imminent Disaster as His Majesty Is In

Chapter 789 Imminent Disaster as His Majesty Is In

Standing outside the side hall, the emperor asked sternly, “Where is Prince Xin?”

Outside the side hall, Shuqi stood there with a pale face, staring blankly at the emperor. Then, she dropped to her knees.

Why was the emperor here? How could the emperor be here?

“It should be the general steward who ca here with so people, shouldn’t he? How could it not be him?” Even if she didn’t know the emperor, she knew that only the emperor could wear such clothes in the palace.

“Where is Prince Xin?” Seeing the maid standing a little far from the room door outside, the emperor beca angrier. He strode forward, lifted the door curtain, and went straight into the room.

“A man and a woman in the room alone without even a maid watching them! What does Shao Jing’s daughter want to do?”

Inside the room, Chu Liuxin closed his eyes for a mont, feeling even hotter. In his eyes, Shao Yanru looked even more delicate and alluring and her watery eyes seed to contain great charms. He felt that his heart was so itchy that he couldn’t help wanting to see the water in Shao Yanru’s eyes clearly.

When he suddenly heard a sound coming from the door, he looked back but was surprised to see that his father was standing there. The heat that was gushing forth from his heart vanished as if soone had imdiately poured a basin of cold water down his head. He was cold all over.

He said bluntly, “Father...”

“Get out!” The emperor looked at him and said coldly.

Chu Liuxin finally realized that sothing had been wrong monts earlier, so he beca anxious, wishing to explain. “Father, I’m not...”

“Get out!” The emperor rebuked with a dark face.

Chu Liuxin did not dare to explain anymore. Instead, he ran out hurriedly. When he was outside, he took a deep breath. Instantly, the clean and cold air drove away all the surging heat in him, but he suddenly had a sense of horror.

Why did he think Shao Yanru was very beautiful just now? He even thought that she was the most beautiful woman, and he even wanted to hold her in his arms and enjoy her.

He liked Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, but when did he have this intent toward her? Obviously, he wanted to get close to Fifth Miss Shao by taking the chance of visiting First Miss Shao in her sickbed. “What happened to him just now?”

He rubbed his forehead and knitted his eyebrows, depressed and ashad. How could he do that?

The general steward of the Phoenix Palace walked up to him with a grin and greeted him. “Fifth Prince!”

Chu Liuxin cald down and tried to look indifferent, asking, “Why is my father here?”

“The emperor heard that you were here, so he ca over to have a look. Where were you just now, Prince Xin?” The general steward looked back and asked uneasily. The situation today was obviously bad. As soon as he heard that Prince Xin was in First Miss Shao’s place, the emperor ca over angrily. Was there any other secret behind it?

When he suddenly thought of sothing, he gasped and narrowed his eyes. The incident with Prince Zhou and Prince Yue involved was still vivid in his mind. “Is the emperor also involved?”

First Miss Shao was really sophisticated. She could even make so many people interest in her, and they were the emperor and his sons. He must report it to the empress and let her make a decision.

The general steward was the general keeper of the Phoenix Palace, not the chief eunuch of the emperor, so he didn’t know about the emperor’s thoughts.

Rolling his eyes, he didn’t think that he could make a decision about the current situation, so he took a few steps outside and pointed at a little eunuch who was sweeping the floor outside, asking him to co over. Then he took him aside and whispered a few words to him.

The little eunuch threw away his broom, turned around, and trotted to report to the empress.

Shao Wanru ca out of the small room on the side and looked at the eyes of Chu Liuxin, who was standing outside in a daze. At the sight of Shao Wanru, Chu Liuxin beca even more ashad and blushed, feeling that he didn’t know how to face her. With a red face, he swung his sleeves and strode away.

He didn’t know how to face Shao Wanru now.

At the mont when he was in the room just now, he even had a crush on Shao Yanru, which was beyond his imagination. How could he be interested in Shao Yanru? He obviously liked Shao Wanru and wanted her to be his princess.

With his mind being in a ss, he was too ashad to see Shao Wanru, especially at this ti. Now he felt like he had been caught while fornicating with a woman in bed. Being upset, how could he have the mood to continue to stay here at this ti?

Seeing Chu Liuxin turn around and leave without saying anything, Yujie asked curiously, “What’s wrong with Chu Liuxin, Miss?”

Shao Wanru shook her head and fixed her eyes on the general steward of the Phoenix Palace. Judging from the eunuch’s clothes, she could tell that this man should be the general steward of the Phoenix Palace. And she frowned.

Although she was in the small room just now, she clearly saw the emperor enter the room and drive Chu Liuxin out, so now the person in the room was emperor, right?

She subconsciously twisted her handkerchief and frowned slightly, feeling sothing different. “Does it an that this incident will be the sa as what happened in my previous life?”

Would Shao Yanru still be the emperor’s Zhaoyi in this life? Shao Yanru had put an aphrodisiac powder in the bowl of dicine. There was no need to take this powder because it would work when one slled it for so ti.

Today, Shao Yanru’s cleaning and her action of letting Chu Liuxin stay all showed that she had an attempt on him but was afraid that he had no interest in her, so she ca up with this plan. Even if sothing was found out by then, it would have nothing to do with her. She would just be a victim, and it was she, Shao Wanru, who had dealt with the powder.

She was the one who had been to the Imperial Institute of dicine, and it was possible that she had touched this powder. At that ti, there was no one in the Imperial Institute of dicine. The little eunuch who took her to get the powder did not know herbs, but each one’s na was on each cabinet box. One who could read could tell which was which.

Besides, she knew sothing about dicine, so it was normal for her to know so special functions of herbs. She and Shao Yanru were not on good terms, so she had put so doses of aphrodisiac powder into Shao Yanru’s painkiller, which she took regularly, and decocted them. If sothing went wrong, it was she who had trapped Shao Yanru.

Even if the victim Shao Yanru lost her reputation, it was her fault and the victim was innocent. Since she was so innocent and she was also supported by Duke Xing’s Mansion, she could be Princess Xin anyway.

In order to fra her, she even prepared a dicine bag, which was in the room where she had decocted herbs in the past. Among the pile of paper, there was a small sheet of wrapping paper giving off such a sll.

The wrapping paper was there and anyone could sll it. If soone investigated it, it was easy to find sothing.

After finding out her sche, she had deliberately asked Han Dan to take the general steward of the Phoniex Palace here and let him take Chu Liuxin out of the room.

Just now, she looked at Chu Liuxin’s face and saw that his face was slightly red, but it turned quite red when he saw her. It was obvious that he had not inhaled so much of the powder.

But it would be hard to tell if he stayed there a little longer. If he was seriously poisoned, the general steward of the Phoenix Palace would inevitably find sothing unusual after going inside. But now, when she saw Chu Liuxin’s ashad and annoyed face, she could not guess anything.

But she did not expect the emperor to co. “Why did the emperor co at this ti?” Her fingers went into spasm and twitched, and her eyes looked blank for a mont. “Can’t I really change anything?”

She lowered her head slightly to hide the coldness and panic in her eyes and squeezed the handkerchief in her hand hard to give herself so strength.

The general steward of the Phoenix Palace was stunned for a mont when he saw Shao Wanru coming out of the small room on the side. Then he saw that she, who seed to have found sothing, stood there and lowered her head without making any sound. Therefore, he thought that Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion was sensible and that she was much better compared with First Miss Shao who ignored ladies’ precepts.

The general steward was flustered. “The emperor is interested in First Miss Shao?” If he had known this earlier, he would have advised the empress to drive her away. Now, a sordid affair was about to happen in the Phoenix Palace of the empress.

How could she be called the most beautiful woman in the capital? It seed that the Fifth Miss Shao in front of him was a real beauty. She was much better than the pretentious First Miss Shao.

She was a girl from an aristocratic family, not a prostitute who often showed up in public, so why did she beco the so-called most beautiful woman? This title sounded unpleasant, and First Miss Shao tried her best not to behave herself. If she beca a palace concubine, she would ss up the whole palace.

The general steward was so worried that he had no mind to care about Shao Wanru. He took a glance at her and then lowered his head to think about what he would say when the empress arrived.

The emperor and First Miss Shao were alone in the room now. In fact, the general steward also wanted to go in and keep an eye on the emperor, but he didn’t dare. He was the confidant of the empress. If he rashly went in and caused trouble, even the empress would not be able to protect him, so he could only wait here anxiously.

The empress was here soon with a few people, with Derong, the chief eunuch of the emperor, being among them.

Seeing the empress, the general steward of the Phoenix Palace heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to bow. “Your Majesty!”

Shao Wanru fell on her knees in the corridor.

The empress looked sharply at Shao Wanru in the corridor and then the general steward. After that, she asked coldly, “Where is His Majesty?”

The general steward pointed inside and whispered, “His Majesty has been inside for a while!”

The empress’s expression changed drastically. She suddenly took two steps forward and was about to rush in, but Derong stopped her and said, “Empress, please wait. Let go in!”

If nothing was wrong inside, it was fine for the empress to go in. But if sothing was going on inside, the emperor would be furious if the empress rushed in like this.

She took a deep breath, knowing that she could not act rashly at this ti. She gritted her teeth and said, “Please go, Eunuch Derong!”

She was not opposed to the thing that the emperor took won as his concubines. During the Consort Selection, she had wanted to pick a few beauties and bring them to the palace. But such a thing happened in her own palace and under her nose without her knowledge, which was like slapping her hard in the face. She was the empress of the imperial harem, but such a sordid affair occurred under her nose, then how could she bear it?

“This is what I should do!” Derong said helplessly.
