Chapter 544: Chapter 466 Fake Phoenix Girl

In the past, no one would question Gongsun Liuying’s medical skill, and even less would anyone dare provide a different diagnosis from Gongsun Liuying.

But just now, Meng Qianqian proved her wrong with her competence. The person Gongsun Liuying couldn’t cure, Meng Qianqian healed; the person Gongsun Liuying nearly killed, Meng Qianqian saved.

What could be more convincing than facts?

And if anyone thinks Consort Jiang’s combativeness ends there, they are gravely mistaken.

Before Gongsun Liuying could defend herself, Consort Jiang relentlessly continued: "As a doctor, if you misdiagnose, then you are foolish; if you diagnose correctly but intentionally lie, then you are wicked! If you think you can fool me, fool His Majesty, then you are both foolish and wicked!"

Others feared Gongsun Liuying’s identity as the Phoenix Girl, but she never believed in such things.

What Guardian Qilin, what Destiny Phoenix Girl, were merely ways some people used to enchant His Majesty.

And the Crown Prince Mansion suddenly invited some Mr. Zimu, who was probably just a charlatan pretending to be mystical.

In her view, the so-called real or fake Qilin were just tactics in the struggle for the throne.

She cared not for the schemes and plots between the Crown Prince Mansion and Jin Prince Mansion.

The blame lay with Consort Hu for bringing trouble upon her, so she wouldn’t be polite.

The gaze of Emperor Liang grew increasingly sharp.

Everyone felt a tangible aura of imperial majesty and unconsciously held their breath.

The hall suddenly became pin-drop silent.

The Empress stepped in to mediate: "Consort Jiang, Liuying has treated so many patients. Her medical skills and virtues have been witnessed by His Majesty and the people of the Imperial City. There must be some misunderstanding today."

Consort Jiang chuckled sarcastically: "I heard it was the Empress who suggested Miss Gongsun take Lu Linyuan’s pulse. How coincidental? Lu Linyuan stayed in the Imperial Palace for many days; the Empress neither cared earlier nor later, yet became so concerned at this critical moment."

"I’ve also heard that the Grand Commander of Great Zhou has a cold syndrome. Previously, the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion suspected Lu Linyuan to be the Grand Commander in disguise. Such an obvious frame-up, Empress, how can you explain?"

The Empress was taken aback.

The boomerang she threw finally returned, and it came back so swiftly and unexpectedly.

Consort Jiang is known for her boldness.

But even the Empress didn’t expect her to be this bold.

How dare she say anything?

If it weren’t for Gongsun Liuying’s mistake today, everything would have been seamless; the Empress hadn’t shown care for Lu Yuan before because as a junior, Lu Yuan never came to pay respects.

Emperor Liang clearly protected the two children well, not wanting them to suffer any grievance nor stand on ceremony before anyone.

The Empress’s conduct was appropriate and correct.

And today, when Lu Yuan attended to her, as the Grandmother, shouldn’t she express some affection by having Gongsun Liuying check his pulse casually?

Any grandmother would do so.

As for the cold syndrome diagnosis, perhaps Emperor Liang would also later realize they targeted Lu Linyuan, but as long as it was confirmed he was Lu Yuan, not only would they be free of wrongdoing, but they would also deserve credit.

The deadly bait now lay in Gongsun Liuying’s overturned medical diagnosis.

Confirming Lu Linyuan was Lu Yuan turned into slandering Lu Linyuan as Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked shocked, his wounded gaze sweeping over the Empress, Consort Hu, Prince Jin, and Lu Qi, and said painfully, "So... it turns out you... you all wanted to harm me..."

His body swayed, a look of utter desolation that drove even the palace attendants to tears.

Master Linyuan is so pitiful...

What wrong had he done to be framed this way?

One must admit, with that spellbinding face, Lu Yuan indeed enchanted hearts too easily.

Lu Zhaoyan couldn’t bear to watch.

Enough is enough.

Acting any further would be overdoing it.

Lu Yuan, wronged and disappointed, said, "I thought that by finding my father and grandfather, I’d found support for the rest of my life. I’d never be called a fatherless bastard again, and my mother and I wouldn’t have to wander for a few coins anymore... I never thought in this family, so many want to drive me away... since I’m not welcome, I’ll just leave."

Lu Zhaoyan grabbed his sleeve, "Yuan’er..."

"Father, you’re in your prime; it’s not too late to marry and have children. Just pretend my mother and I never came."

Lu Yuan finished calmly, shook off Lu Zhaoyan’s hand, turned around, and walked alone out of the side hall.

"Zhaozhao."
