Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 259 Stay calm in times of crisis
In just two days, the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Emperor were called in twice, which was unprecedented in the palace.
When Jiang Xue woke up, Xiao Zhan had already gone to court. After she washed up, changed her clothes and went out, she was immediately surrounded by a group of people.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xue looked around and asked coldly.
She recognized the uniforms of these guards, which were the uniforms of the imperial guards in the palace. The royal guards came to her house in person, so something big must have happened.
"Princess Gong, you are suspected of murdering Jiang Chongyi and endangering the royal heir. The emperor is furious and has ordered us to bring you to the palace for interrogation!"
The captain of the guard declared sternly, announcing her crime.
She had long anticipated that Jiang Chongyi's matter would not end so easily.
But she didn't understand. She had clearly saved Jiang's mother and son in front of Emperor Beiling, so how come overnight she became the culprit who murdered Jiang and endangered the royal heir?
"Princess Gong, if you have any questions, you can explain them to the emperor in person when you get to the palace!"
The captain of the guard was about to order the arrest of Jiang Xue, but he was hit by a hidden weapon as soon as he started to move.
"Who dares to touch our princess!" The two maids Fu Dong and Xiaochun broke through the encirclement and stood on both sides of Jiang Xue, one on the left and one on the right, to provide protection.
"Sir, you are performing official duties, and Changle will not cause you any trouble. But on the way to the palace, Changle begs you to show some leniency and leave us a little dignity. After all, I am also a member of the Beiling royal family. If I am pushed into the palace by others, it will really damage the royal family's reputation."
Jiang Xue's voice was soft and gentle, her attitude was gentle, and even in this situation, she still maintained an elegant demeanor that made people awe-inspiring.
The captain of the guards admired this woman who remained calm in the face of danger. His expression softened and he nodded to signal his men to make way.
Inside the palace, Xiao Yun and Xiao Zhan were kneeling in front of the main hall, Xiao Li and Jun Li were standing on one side, and Xiao Yan was standing on the other side wearing a mask.
Emperor Beiling sat on the dragon throne, overlooking the area below, his face serious and the atmosphere heavy.
Apart from Jiang Chongyi crying crazily in the corner, her bloodshot eyes, pale face and messy black hair made people sigh.
She was once the envy of all the concubines in the palace, highly favored, pregnant with a dragon fetus, and promoted by exception. She was about to reach the peak of her life, but at this juncture, she fell from the clouds to the dust, and became this crazy before the child was born.
"Shut her mouth!" Emperor Beiling was fed up with her crying and ordered the eunuchs to block Jiang Chongyi's mouth to stop her from making the shrill sound.
Seeing the eunuchs' rough actions, Xiao Yun was worried that they would hurt Jiang Chongyi, so he immediately kowtowed and begged, "I beg you, father, to have them show mercy. My mother is pregnant and cannot stand their rough treatment!"
Hearing the word "pregnant", Emperor Beiling's face changed slightly: "Pregnant? Haha! The imperial physician has already said that the baby in her belly is already dead! How can she be pregnant?"
"Your Majesty is wrong. Chongyi's child could not possibly be stillborn!"
A beautiful and tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, and Jiang Xue walked into the hall under the escort of the captain of the guards.
She held her head high and looked directly at Emperor Beiling, fearless and neither humble nor arrogant.
"What nonsense! You, a young girl, are practicing medicine recklessly just because you know a little bit of medical skills! Do you know that you have caused great harm to Empress Chongyi?" An old doctor pointed at Jiang Xue and accused her with a look of grief on his face.
"Changle! Look at Jiang Chongyi's current appearance! Just plead guilty!" Emperor Beiling pointed at Jiang Chongyi who was tied up by the eunuchs, furious.
"Your Majesty, Changle is terrified. I don't know which crime you are referring to?" Jiang Xue saluted, walked to Xiao Zhan's side, and knelt down with him. This action made Jun Li's eyes become complicated.
Jiang Xue, are you just naturally in the same boat with him? Seeing her taking it for granted, the anger and heartache in his heart intertwined, almost making him lose control!
If possible, he really wanted to rush up immediately, pull Jiang Xue up, and lock her by his side. As for Xiao Zhan, he just wanted to send him to hell as soon as possible!
"What crime?" Emperor Beiling laughed in anger, and this expression made people even more uneasy.
"Don't you see what Jiang Chongyi has become now? She's crazy! You made her crazy! Even the baby in her belly has died, and the imperial physician couldn't feel her pulse!"
"If I can't feel the pulse, does that mean the fetus is dead?" Jiang Xue's mouth curled up slightly and her eyes turned to the old doctor who had blamed her as soon as she entered the room.
"The pulse is a sign of life. If you can't feel the pulse, it must be a dead fetus!" said the old doctor firmly.
"It seems that the ability of the imperial physician has not improved as you age." Jiang Xue said sarcastically.
"You! How dare you, a greenhorn, be so rude! Your Majesty! This woman has a vicious heart and behaves improperly. Please punish her immediately and don't let her harm innocent people again!" The old doctor pretended to be wronged and knelt down to beg.
"Your Majesty, we cannot just listen to one side of the story. Your Majesty has always been fair and strict. I'm sure you won't draw conclusions based on just one side, right? Why not listen to Changle's opinion and then make a decision."
Jiang Xue took over the conversation calmly, not giving Emperor Beiling any chance to interrupt.
Xiao Zhan listened from the side and laughed secretly in his heart. Alas, his princess was indeed very smart. She found the right time to flatter the Emperor of Beiling, forcing him to listen.
"You say!" Emperor Beiling agreed.
"Excuse me, Imperial Physician, on what basis do you conclude that it was Changle who harmed Empress Chongyi?"
"Humph! From yesterday till now, no one has touched the Queen except you! Who else could it be but you?"
The old doctor spoke with certainty, as if he had witnessed Jiang Xue attacking Jiang.
"Oh? So, after I examined the Empress yesterday, you didn't examine her again? This is strange. I remember that the Emperor seemed to have instructed the Imperial Medical Bureau to take good care of the Empress...
Could it be that the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau are all hypocritical, promising the Emperor that they would take care of the Empress, but in reality they just walk away and do nothing?"
Jiang Xue's question made the old doctor sweat profusely. He looked at Xiao Li in panic, then glanced at Emperor Beiling who was angry, with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Nonsense! Of course, I, your humble servant, will follow the Emperor's orders and diagnose and treat the Empress!"
He stuttered to refute Jiang Xue, but his tone was completely unconvincing.
"Oh, then after Changle, did you, the imperial physician, give the Empress medicine or acupuncture again?"
Jiang Xue was now like a cat playing with its prey, with a playful smile in her eyes.
"No..." The old doctor answered hesitantly, but was interrupted by Jiang Xue just after he said one word.
"No? Then the imperial physician's diagnosis is that Empress Chongyi is fine? Otherwise, why didn't she use medicine or acupuncture? Since Empress Chongyi is fine, how can it be Changle's fault?"
