Wan Shufang could feel the murderous intent contained in the Emperor's words. She clearly understood that if her words were not in line with the Emperor's wishes, she would be burned to ashes by his anger.

She immediately turned her head, trying to tell a conclusion about the deaths of King Duan and the new emperor, so as to alleviate the emperor's anger towards her.

But these two people didn't die from her poor medical skills. How could she come to a conclusion?

Wan Shufang felt frustrated for a while, but her face remained stable, and she said calmly: "Whether it is Prince Duan or His Majesty, the wounds on their bodies are too deep, which is why even acupuncture and moxibustion by my wife cannot save them."

"Do you mean to blame my child for all this?" The Emperor was furious, looking at Wan Shufang as if he were looking at a dead person.

Chen Changli secretly thought that it was not good. The Supreme Emperor made it clear that he wanted to blame Wan Shufang for the deaths of Duan and Wang.

He sincerely believed that King Duan would kill the new emperor, and then committed suicide, which was clearly stimulated by the Supreme Emperor.

If the Supreme Emperor was not good at calculations and let Prince Duan notice it, Prince Duan would not have caused such an accident.

King Duan hated the Supreme Emperor deeply, but he knew that there was someone protecting the Supreme Emperor and he could not kill him at all.

As the puppet carefully selected by the Supreme Emperor, the new emperor naturally became the target of King Duan's venting.

King Duan never thought that he would live. After all, he saw the death of his mother and concubine, and he clearly knew how cruel the Supreme Emperor was.

In order to prevent the Supreme Emperor from settling accounts with his wife, he wiped his neck with all his strength.

Wan Shufang's medical skills are good, but she is not a fairy, so how can she save King Duan who wants to die.

The Emperor wanted to blame Wan Shufang because he clearly wanted to shift the shame and self-blame for his son's death onto outsiders.

Chen Changli could guess some of the Emperor's thoughts, so how could he blame Wan Shufang for unfounded crimes.

His thoughts changed for just a moment, before Chen Changli came to Wan Shufang and faced the angry Emperor directly: "Your Majesty, regarding Prince Duan..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you." The Supreme Emperor interrupted Chen Changli with a gloomy expression.

"Wan Shufang is my wife, and her business is my business." Chen Changli said righteously.

"Father, the fourth child did indeed suffer a terrible disaster, but the third child wanted to die. He hurt the fourth child before he died. Could it be that his grievances with the fourth child were too deep."

The princess who hurried over also noticed that something was wrong, and she immediately ran over to speak for Wan Shufang.

"He obviously wants to drag the fourth child with him even if he wants to die. Wan Shufang's medical skills are good, but she can't save a person who wants to die."

"Besides, the injuries to the third and fourth children are too serious. Even if Wan Shufang is a god descending to earth, she will not be able to take their lives back from the King of Hell."

The Crown Princess actually did not expect that Prince Duan would do such a thing, nor did she expect that the Supreme Emperor would blame Wan Shufang for this.

She somewhat complained that the Supreme Emperor planned everything but failed to consider her son's thoughts, which led to the death of both Prince and Duan.

However, no matter how much she complained in her heart, the Crown Princess did not dare to show any signs of it. She could only persuade the Emperor with red eyes to let him think about this matter clearly and not to blame Wan Shufang for this matter.

"Crown Princess, I think you are really confused." As soon as the Crown Princess finished speaking, the Supreme Queen rushed over with a group of people.

She raised her chin slightly, looked at the Crown Princess arrogantly, and said with anger in her voice: "No matter how serious the injuries of Prince Duan and Laosi are, how could Wan Shufang, as a doctor, be unable to do anything? If she really can't do anything, then what? Dare to open a medical clinic to treat people’s illnesses.”

"I think Wan Shufang is clearly unwilling to do her best because of the grudge between Prince Duan and Chen Changli. Are you defending Wan Shufang because you hate Prince Duan because of the prince?"

The Queen was blaming Wan Shufang every word, and at the end of her words, she dragged the prince into it, as if Wan Shufang couldn't save Prince Duan because of the prince and her husband.

The Crown Princess was angered by the Queen's words.

The same is true for Wan Shufang and Chen Changli.

They didn't expect that the Supreme Empress would be so unreasonable, and their hearts could not help but sink, just because the Supreme Empress was on the Supreme Emperor's side and was trusted by them.

If she was acting recklessly, how could the Emperor not listen to her words? Besides, if the Emperor wanted to blame Wan Shufang, he also wanted to completely dispel the guilt of driving his two sons to death.

The Crown Princess and Chen Changli and his wife knew this well, but they knew that this matter could not be brought to light, otherwise the Emperor would become angry and everyone who entered the palace tonight would be purged.

The only thing they could do was to point out King Duan's hatred for the new emperor, so much so that he no longer wanted to live because of this hatred.

"Your Majesty, King Duan wants to win the throne. He will be disheartened when he sees that he cannot succeed." Chen Changli took a step forward and stood in front of the Crown Princess and Wan Shufang.

His posture was clearly intended to protect the two of them and prevent the Supreme Emperor from venting his anger on them. The Supreme Empress immediately withdrew her gaze and glanced at Chen Changli with deep meaning.

Before he could continue to speak, the Supreme Queen sarcastically said: "Even if the third child is frustrated, he will not do this unless someone said something to him to make him so frustrated."

"Chen Changli, you are the one who helped His Majesty resist Lao San. For Lao San to end up like this, does it have something to do with you?"

As the Queen spoke, she stared at Chen Changli with a pair of suspicious eyes, but the expression on her face seemed to be sure that Chen Changli had really done this.

When Chen Changli heard this, he raised his eyes to look at her and saw that she was looking at him with evil intentions. There was no wave on her face and she just said: "No matter how the empress may suspect, I also deeply regret the death of Prince Duan."

"But Chen knows why he is so desperate. It's just that other princes are willing to abandon their mothers and concubines and escape from the palace. He doesn't want to but sees the death of his mother and concubines. At this time, he failed again in this chaos. ”

Hearing this, the Crown Princess immediately raised her head and looked directly at the Queen Mother. Her tone was straightforward and bold: "Your Majesty, if King Duan wins today, then Concubine Xue will be the legitimate Queen Mother. Although Your Majesty is the legitimate mother, King Duan and Xue If the imperial concubine refuses to admit it, you may face a similar situation to Prince Duan."

After saying this, she didn't wait for the Supreme Empress to scold her, and then she said to the Supreme Emperor in a gentle and polite manner: "Father, my daughter-in-law is also deeply pained by the death of the third child and the two, but tonight's incident was caused by the two of them. If they come out, even if they don’t kill each other, they won’t have a good life for the rest of their lives.”

"And the third child has always been smart and proud. He will never allow himself to live a miserable life. Taking the fourth child with him to meet his ancestors is probably an escape."

"Father, I would like to bury them well, and then appease their families at home, so that they can rest in peace even after they are under the Nine Springs."

The Crown Princess's words were still straightforward, but her words also made sense. The Supreme Emperor said sadly: "The third child is too arrogant and doesn't leave any room for action. Otherwise, how could he and the fourth child have gotten into such trouble?"
