Old Man Xia clearly stood on Chang Xuewei's side and spoke for her, but Chang Xuewei would rather he hadn't spoken.

After taking a few deep breaths, Chang Xuewei calmly scolded Old Man Xia: "Shut up!"

After she finished speaking, she stared at Chen Changli with a cold gaze and said sarcastically: "I am also your relative. When you guessed that I was not doing well, why didn't you sympathize with me? Didn't your parents teach you how to..."

"You are not allowed to question my parents here." Chen Changli's face suddenly turned cold.

His parents were implicated in the case of Prince Mingde and had to become homeless and suffer a lot.

They met each other, and after giving birth to him, she took him to a small mountain village, hiding her identity and never mentioning any family matters. It was because she felt that the past was very painful and wanted to forget all the pain by forgetting.

After his parents died, he met Wan Shufang, married her and had a child with her. Later, he went to the battlefield and was accidentally recognized by someone from Anyang Marquis' Mansion. He thus learned about his parents' past and felt unbearable pain for them.

He resolutely chose to break off relations with the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, perhaps not without wanting to sever ties with the past for his parents.

Chang Xuewei mentioned his parents in front of him and also talked about the issue of upbringing, which was clearly an attempt to provoke him to blame his parents.

"Chang Xuewei, if you have bad intentions towards us, please be honest and don't be disrespectful to our ancestors."

Wan Shufang knew where Chen Changli's anger came from and looked at him with some worry.

Seeing that his face was a little red, as if he was angry, Wan Shufang became even more worried and couldn't help but scold Chang Xuewei.

No matter how Chang Xuewei humiliated the couple, Wan Shufang could face it calmly, but using a dead elder to attack others was really disgusting.

Not to mention Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, everyone else couldn't help but frown.

So for a moment, the atmosphere in the entire secret room was a little strange, as if frost had condensed into ice in the corner, and the ice was faintly emitting cold air, making everyone feel the chill in an instant.

Chang Xuewei glanced at them and saw that they had puzzled expressions, as if they were surprised that she was the prince's sister.

But she knew very well in her heart that these people were just suspecting her but did not know her purpose, so they could only remain silent, hoping that she and Chen Changli and his wife would continue to argue, thereby exposing more secrets.

Chang Xuewei tried hard to suppress the anger surging in her heart, and her expression was very calm, which did not make people feel that she was aggressive at all.

"I just said it out of emotion. I have no ill intentions. I hope you can forgive me and don't hold it against me."

Chang Xuewei said this slowly, and she carefully observed the bloody lines on Chen Changli's chest.

After confirming that the Phoenix Gu was in very good condition, the corners of her mouth slightly raised up, then immediately lowered down, her eyes fixed on Chen Changli.

She mentioned the prince in order to build a relationship with him so that Chen Changli would relax his vigilance, but she didn't expect that he would doubt her.

Although she did have some hatred towards the prince, her expression calmed down very quickly. How could Chen Changli be so sure?

"Chen Changli, you really surprise me." Chang Xuewei's expression was unpredictable. "I thought if the Phoenix Gu was born, you would not get anything good, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

As she spoke, she was about to reach out and touch Chen Changli's chest, wanting to feel the presence of the Phoenix Gu.

Wan Shufang grabbed her hand and said cautiously, "Just talk, why are you using your hands?"

Chang Xuewei is a medical practitioner, but Wan Shufang dared not let her put her hand on Chen Changli's chest, lest she poison Chen Changli again.

Her mind raced as fast as lightning. Wan Shufang immediately glanced at Chang Xuewei's hands and found white powder under her nails. Her face suddenly turned green.

"Are you trying to do the same trick again?" Wan Shufang quickly shook off Chang Xuewei's hand and stood directly beside the bed to block Chang Xuewei.

"This is just dust on the wall, it's not poisonous, don't scare yourself." Chang Xuewei looked at her nails and said gently and politely.

Wan Shufang didn't believe her lies.

"This... girl." Wei Mingzhou was watching the fight between several people from the side, and suddenly realized that Chang Xuewei was a very tough opponent.

He quickly stood up, looked at Chang Xuewei with a smile, and said slowly: "Chen Changli's body can no longer withstand the torment, so no matter what you have in mind, I advise you to give it up, don't end up with nothing."

His words were quite meaningful. Chang Xuewei smiled and said, "Doctor Wei, I was wondering why Yaoyao could persuade you. It turns out that you are in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han!"

When Wei Mingzhou heard Chang Xuewei say this, he suddenly realized that Chang Xuewei addressed him as imperial physician.

It has been twenty years since he left the Imperial Medical Bureau. Although his friends knew that he had been an imperial physician, they never called him that.

People who were not familiar with him all thought that he came from a family of medical science with profound knowledge, and never called him the imperial physician.

Why did Chang Xuewei call him the imperial physician? Could it be that she had seen him in the imperial hospital in the past?

But women were not allowed to enter the Imperial Medical Service. How could Chang Xuewei see him there?

With doubts in his mind, Wei Mingzhou immediately looked at Chang Xuewei carefully. The more he looked, the more familiar she looked to him.

After a while, a figure flashed through his mind. He immediately grabbed Chang Xuewei's shoulders and said in an unusually cold voice, "You are the apprentice who almost got me involved in the palace fight. I didn't expect you to be alive and now you appear in front of me as a woman."

After saying this angrily, Wei Mingzhou suddenly realized, "I was wondering why Liu Yaoyao chose me. She even threatened me with the lives of other doctors. It turns out you were behind this."

Wei Mingzhou was young and frivolous, but he had good teachers and helpful friends to advise him, so no matter how frivolous he was, he knew his limits and would not get involved in court struggles and cause his family to die.

Moreover, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Service were highly skilled in medicine, and he benefited a lot from the years he spent there.

When the emperor asked him to be the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, although he was not very happy, he was willing to be a director so that he could promote his medical skills.

Unexpectedly, an apprentice named Zhao was involved in the palace struggle and was used to kill one of the emperor's most beloved concubines.

Wei Mingzhou knew that this apprentice was willing to work hard to learn medicine and had good talent, so he prepared to find out the truth for him. However, he was stabbed in the back and charged with the crime of murdering a concubine. He and his entire family were almost executed by the emperor.

It was his master, Doctor Huang, who worked hard on his behalf several times before he was finally cleared of the charges.

He also realized the wickedness of human nature and the cruelty of court struggles, so he left the Imperial Hospital directly.

But the apprentice who was said to have committed suicide out of fear of punishment became a nightmare in his heart, and he would think of him in his dreams at midnight.

Now, after taking a closer look at Chang Xuewei, he discovered that her features were very similar to that of the apprentice. He also had his own unique way of identifying people, but in an instant he thought of the two people together, and then realized that Chang Xuewei was that apprentice.

She was a woman disguised as a man, and when her crime was exposed, she changed back into a woman and escaped.

"Chang Xuewei, how did I offend you that you treat me like this?"
