Chapter 113: Chapter 113: No One Dares to Question

"Indeed, it appears to be symptoms of poisoning." After another check, Chu Nanli lifted her head, her gaze drifting towards Ye Jiuxiao not far away.

Her reaction made many present vaguely understand.

At the moment, the person she trusted most appeared to be Lord Ye.

Ye Yunting’s eyes darkened instantly.

Ye Jiuxiao, appearing calm as usual, seemed not to notice the undercurrents around him, nodded, and said, "Princess Consort Chu, please proceed with the treatment."

His words left no room for doubt among those in the hall.

Chu Nanli’s tense heart finally relaxed, and she took out her silver needles.

There was some movement nearby; a figure drew closer.

Chu Nanli turned her head and saw the Imperial Physician on duty.

She had not noticed him before, but now that he was closer, she saw his baby-faced features.

Seeing her notice him, Zhuang Muyan’s cheeks reddened, and he smiled embarrassingly.

"I would like to learn how Princess Consort Chu administers treatment."

Chu Nanli saw his sincere demeanor and did not keep her methods secret.

"Princess Consort Yu fainted again, not due to any error in my previous aid, but because of the weakness caused by the poison. Thus, this treatment does not have to follow the previous acupuncture technique; there are simpler measures available."

After finishing her explanation, Chu Nanli inserted silver needles into three points on Princess Consort Yu’s face, then stretched out two fingers and rhythmically pressed on Princess Consort Yu’s wrist.

"This is to stimulate the energy flow. By combining acupuncture and acupressure, we resolve the focal infection and restore the patient’s vital energy."

Zhuang Muyan listened very attentively, his eyes brightening. Seeing Princess Consort Yu’s complexion swiftly regain its color, he was immensely excited.

"Princess Consort Chu’s medical knowledge is profound; I have learned a great deal."

Lin Fuying saw that the situation was getting more out of control and couldn’t help but look at Bai Wuheng, only to see him pressing his lips together, his expression filled with shock and uncertainty.

Lin Fuying’s heart skipped a beat.

Has Brother Wuhen realized that Chu Nanli truly possesses medical skills?

"Cough cough cough..."

The light coughing of Princess Consort Yu broke the silence in the hall.

"Your Highness, please don’t move yet," Chu Nanli spoke, "Let me first remove the silver needles."

Princess Consort Yu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. Upon hearing this, she hummed softly, indicating that she was awake.

Chu Nanli swiftly removed the silver needles and then said, "There, all done."

When Princess Consort Yu opened her eyes, seeing Chu Nanli’s face once more, she understood.

"Was it Princess Consort Chu who saved me again?"

Chu Nanli explained, "Your Highness, there is no grave concern. You fainted due to the weakness caused by the poison. This symptom indicates that the poison entered your body through food and was thoroughly absorbed. Do you recall what you ate tonight, Your Highness, anything that made you feel uncomfortable afterward?"

Princess Consort Yu slightly pursed her lips.

Chu Nanli noted her reaction and couldn’t help but be puzzled.

Could there be a hidden story behind Princess Consort Yu’s poisoning?

The Senior Palace Maid, who knew the thoughts of her mistress well, immediately stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness, after you fainted, some suspected that Princess Consort Chu had staged the poisoning herself."

With her back to the people in the hall and using them as a cover, she silently mouthed a few names.

War God, Divine Doctor Bai, Lin Fuying.

A look of astonishment flashed in Princess Consort Yu’s eyes as she seriously regarded Chu Nanli—neither servile nor overbearing—for the first time, feeling pity and sympathy rise within her.

Seeing the beautiful and talented girl seemingly bullied by her husband and his concubine to this extent.

She did not think it was Chu Nanli showing off, deliberately using her.

She had not suggested an immediate investigation of the mastermind behind the incident, guessing that the poison might have been the handiwork of a rival in the harem. Hence, she did not want to cause a scene at the banquet to avoid ultimately embarrassing the Emperor.

Now, it seemed that her indecision might harm Princess Consort Chu.

After resolving her mind, Princess Consort Yu slowly said, "At the banquet, I had only a few grapes and a cup of tea."

Hearing this, Zhuang Muyan glanced at Chu Nanli and volunteered, "I will conduct the examination."

His involvement represented impartiality, sparing Chu Nanli from further attacks by others after she had handled the situation.
