Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The emperor snorted coldly, but before he could say anything, Doctor Li was brought over. Under the guidance of Sang Mo, he quickly went to the unconscious Sun Wanqing to check on her condition.

That’s right, it’s Doctor Li, the Crown Prince’s personal advisor.

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Miss Sun is not seriously injured. She was just frightened. Let the female doctor give her a set of acupuncture and she should be fine." After the imperial physician Li finished his examination, he immediately reported the situation to the emperor.

The emperor looked at Sun Wanqing who was still lying on the ground, then looked at the trembling ministers and their families, and waved his hand helplessly, "Let's go to the side hall for acupuncture, and you all can go away."

After hearing this, the others felt as if they had been pardoned. They quickly bowed to thank the emperor and left the palace quickly.

Only a group of princes and concubines, Tutor Sun's family, and the quiet Yan Nangui were left.

Before Wang Zhuo left, Li Junze looked at his grandfather again and saw that his usually calm eyes were now tainted with a hint of uneasiness, but he was still winking at Li Junze, telling him to stay calm. Then he turned around and left Yonghe Palace.

Li Junze was in a very depressed mood. How could this incident end up like this?

My grandfather even went so far as to mobilize an insider who had been buried for twenty years for this matter, but in the end it still ended up like this. The key point is that these ministers already knew that Sun Wanqing did this thing of hitting the pillar in order to refuse the marriage with him. After this incident, who knows how they will talk about me.

This was not what they wanted, but what was strange was the emperor's decree granting the marriage.

It definitely couldn't be a mistake. It could only be the emperor's intention. Why did he suddenly want to marry Sun Wanqing to himself?

Could it be...

While Li Junze was still here with wild thoughts and all kinds of speculations, scaring himself half to death, Sun Wanqing had been rescued by a female doctor in the side hall and was led by the doctor to the main hall.

At this time, Sun Wanqing's eyes were obviously much more lively. Although she was a little tired, she still took two quick steps and knelt down beside the Grand Tutor Sun and his wife. Then she cried and said,

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I don't know why I did such a treasonous thing just now, disturbing the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"You don't know why? So, those things were not your intention?" the emperor questioned.

Sun Wanqing nodded quickly and cried even harder, "I agreed last night, but for some reason, my mind suddenly became unclear during the dinner. I only have a vague impression of what happened afterwards."

Doctor Li also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have just confirmed that Miss Sun was indeed under an illusion, but the medicine she used was very precise, and the duration of the illusion was very short, and it has almost dissipated just now."

"What, illusion?" The emperor pretended not to know, but he had already thought of something. "Quick, call all the palace servants who are in the hall today, and don't let any of them leave."

Li Junze felt a chill in his heart after hearing this. It was the first time he had heard of illusion. However, if he continued to investigate, he would definitely find out who was behind this. He wondered if he was his grandfather's spy planted in the palace.

Before he could think about it, the guards had quickly closed the doors on all sides of the hall, and even the palace maids who had just gone out were called back by the eunuchs.

"Doctor Li, check to see if there is anyone among these people who used magic on Miss Sun." The emperor ordered.

"Yes, I obey your command." After hearing this, Doctor Li agreed and stood up and walked to the eunuchs and palace servants who were standing in a row in an orderly manner. There were eunuchs and palace maids, about a hundred people in total.

Half an hour had passed since he started checking like this. He was about to finish after checking one by one, but Doctor Li still hadn't found the person he was looking for. The palace maids also turned pale with fright, and it was impossible to tell which one was guilty.

Doctor Li did not rely solely on psychological tactics. Xuanjizi had told him that anyone who used magic would have traces of the magic on their body, or a prop used in the magic. The prop could be an object, a smell, or even a sentence.

He could determine the taste by himself, but the props depended on the eunuchs who searched all the items on everyone one by one and placed them on the tray in front of them.

However, he found nothing. When there were less than ten people left, there was a sudden "bang" sound. It turned out that the teacup in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The sound was very abrupt, especially in the hall which had been silent for a long time. Almost everyone looked at Li Junhao in horror, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still had a calm expression, as if he really did it by accident.

Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, a little palace maid was so frightened by the noise that she could no longer stand. She collapsed to the ground with a plop.

"Bring her here." Li Junhao said, and the eunuch pulled the little palace maid who was slumped on the ground over without saying a word.

The little palace maid was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a childish look on her face. She was so frightened that she was trembling with fear. Her legs had no strength at all and she couldn't even kneel down.

"Mercy, Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me..." She shouted tremblingly.

"Tell me everything honestly, no matter how big or small, and explain everything clearly." Li Junhao said in a deep voice, and the guard behind the little palace maid took a step forward, almost reaching in front of her.

"I...I am Ling'er, a servant serving outside the Kunning Palace. I have received a lot of care from Madam Li, so I have a good relationship with Madam Li on weekdays."

She continued stumbling, "This time, before the banquet, Nanny Li told me to find a time before the banquet to hand over the handkerchief to Miss Sun. As for the rest, I don't know."

She didn't know whether what she did was related to Miss Sun's situation, but she already had a rough guess in her mind. What's more, it happened before the banquet and the target was Miss Sun. If she said there was no connection, she herself would not believe it.

However, she did not believe in her heart that Nanny Li was involved in this matter, or that she used magic to murder Miss Sun.

After hearing Ling'er's words, Sun Wanqing suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took the handkerchief out of her sleeve. As if she suddenly remembered something, she said in fear,

"Yes, yes, I was just curious about the pattern on the handkerchief, so I opened it and took a look. Then everything started to become blurry. It must be... it must be related to this handkerchief."
