My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 111: Unparalleled in Beauty

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Unparalleled in Beauty

Lin Fuying could hardly believe it—Merely thirty lashes for poisoning His Majesty’s favored concubine? The Prince was surely overly protective of this vile woman!

She immediately spoke out, "Prince, this matter is of great importance, shouldn’t it be handed over to His Majesty for disposition?"

Chu Nanli had not expected that, out of her physician’s duty to detoxify the Jade Consort, she would stir up such trouble.

Logically speaking, on such an important occasion today, no one would daringly poison the Jade Consort. At that time, Bai Wuheng was not present, and there was only one Imperial Physician on duty in the hall. If the Jade Consort had truly died of poisoning, the Emperor would surely have been furious, making this matter difficult to resolve.

Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, the poisoning of the Jade Consort seemed premeditated and targeted specifically at her.

And the most suspicious person was undoubtedly Lin Fuying.

In Xia Kingdom, although her original body had a bad reputation, the only entanglements of gratitude and grudge were with Ye Yunting, Lin Fuying, and Bai Wuheng.

And Lin Fuying was the one who most wished her dead.

With this thought, her thoughts suddenly became clear.

If it really were Lin Fuying framing her, this move had a two-pronged plan.

First, if she intervened to save the Jade Consort and afterward the Jade Consort met with another mishap, they could directly slander her.

Second, if she did not intervene to save the Jade Consort, then Lin Fuying would certainly take the initiative to mention her medical skills, recalling her past deed of saving the young master of the General Residence, thereby forcing her into a dilemma.

Such a vicious scheme!

Chu Nanli took a deep breath, seeing that she was surrounded by hostility and no one believed her. She had no choice but to say to the Empress, "Empress, I wish to check on the Jade Consort’s condition."

The Empress hesitated.

Bai Wuheng snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, I believe it is not appropriate for Princess Chu to come into contact with Consort Jade at this time."

Ye Yunting’s gaze grew even more terrifying. "Chu Nanli, I will say it once more, do not act ungratefully!"

Chu Nanli took a deep breath, knowing that with Bai Wuheng and Ye Yunting obstructing her, she would not be able to approach the Jade Consort.

Glancing over at the Jade Consort, it seemed she had been placed on a soft couch, with the Imperial Physician administering acupuncture, but it was uncertain whether she could be revived.

Chu Nanli’s gaze swept over Bai Wuheng. The common people of Xia Kingdom called him a Divine Doctor, but at this critical moment involving human life, this so-called Divine Doctor was not planning to save anyone, instead he was relentlessly helping Lin Fuying attack her.

Just because he was afraid that Lin Fuying might be wronged, he was willing to disregard human life?

Such an unjust claim to the name of a physician!

Bai Wuheng’s heart skipped a beat under Chu Nanli’s gaze, feeling inexplicably irritated, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Chu Nanli turn her head and leave.

"Stop!"

Ye Yunting also said, "Until Consort Jade awakens, you must stay here."

Chu Nanli stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said word by word, "Even if you wish to convict me, you must wait until Consort Jade is revived to ask about the cause and effect. I am now going to ask the Empress Dowager to intervene."

She invoked the Empress Dowager, making Ye Yunting furrow his brows.

In that moment of hesitation, Chu Nanli had already left the grand hall.

Lin Fuying secretly sneered in her heart.

Did this fool, Chu Nanli, really think that just because the Empress Dowager agreed once to let her treat Consort Jade, she would agree a second time?

How laughable!

She just waited for this despicable woman to come back dejected!

After Chu Nanli left the palace where the Spring Banquet was held, she found a palace maid to guide her, and soon arrived at Cining Palace.

A palace maid from Cining Palace went in to report and came out after a while.

"Princess Chu, the Empress Dowager agrees to see you. Please follow me."

Chu Nanli quickly followed her inside and, upon entering the palace, saw that besides the Empress Dowager, there was another person present.

That person turned around at that moment, eyes meeting Chu Nanli’s, and slowly smiled as if to greet her.

In that instant, a phrase flashed through Chu Nanli’s mind.

The gentleman on the road is like jade, his appearance unmatched in the world.
