Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 725 - Chapter 725 Chapter 725 Blossoming

Chapter 725: Chapter 725 Blossoming Chapter 725: Chapter 725 Blossoming War Prince Long Rui’s eyes drifted to Xuexue as he asked, absent-minded, “Hmm, who’s the mastermind behind all this?”

“Replying to Master, this person is right here in the room.”

Long Yi scanned the crowd and, to his surprise, Doctor Wang was nowhere to be seen; just as he was pondering, he caught a glimpse of a figure silently moving towards the main entrance.

Turning around, indeed, it was Doctor Wang.

Long Yi pointed at Doctor Wang and yelled at the guards, “Catch him for me.”

Just two steps away from slipping out of the hall, Doctor Wang was secretly delighted, thinking he could finally escape the General’s Mansion and evade disaster.

Little did he know, just at that moment, a loud shout came from behind, scaring him so much that his heart nearly split.

Before he could even turn his head, he was pinned to the floor by two guards.

Long Yi approached him, his voice filled with mockery, “Doctor Wang, you certainly tried to slip away quickly, nearly got away too.”

Doctor Wang, pressed to the ground by two guards and unable to move, still cried out his innocence, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about?”

“I’d advise you to confess willingly, to avoid the pain of physical punishment.”

After speaking, Long Yi waved his hand and said to the two guards, “Bring him in front of the Prince.”

The two guards roughly dragged Doctor Wang up and escorted him to the center of the hall, then threw him down in front of all the lords.

Kneeling on the ground, Doctor Wang clung to the hope for mercy as he kowtowed vigorously to Prince Pu, “Prince, I’ve been wronged! I really haven’t done anything; you mustn’t make me confess to something I haven’t done.”

Doctor Wang was after all his own man, and Prince Pu had the instinct to protect his own, just about to speak up for him.

War Prince Long Rui said coldly, “Prince Pu, we are seeking justice for your daughter, you better not undermine your own position.”

Prince Pu suddenly realized and immediately kept silent.

War Prince Long Rui continued coldly, “Doctor Wang, with both the human and material evidence present, if I were you, I’d just confess and avoid suffering like Nanny Zhao has.”

After Nanny Zhao was beaten with thirty sticks and dragged back by the guards, blood trailed behind her all the way to the front of the hall, presenting a terrifying sight.

Doctor Wang glanced at Nanny Zhao, lying on the ground, her lower body soaked in blood, moaning in pain, and felt his hair stand on end.

Seeing her in such a state, she might not be crippled, but it would probably take a year and a half to fully heal.

“Doctor… Doctor Wang, everything… you ordered me to do everything, you’ve gotten me into deep trouble this time,” said Nanny Zhao

After being beaten with dozens of sticks, her backside was a mass of welts; she was in excruciating pain and regretted risking her life for a few taels of silver–it simply wasn’t worth it.

“Nanny Zhao, what nonsensical things are you saying?” Doctor Wang struggled desperately.

“How could you deny it? You ordered me to add the medicinal primer to Madam Mo’s medicine and told me to frame Zi Xia, claiming this would shift the blame onto the young lady, leaving us unrelated to the matter. I did it only because you commanded me–it was against my will,” Nanny Zhao, in an attempt to save her own life, let everything out in one breath.

After all, Doctor Wang wasn’t the Master; there was no point in losing her life over a few taels of silver–it just didn’t add up.

“What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever direct you to commit such vile deeds? It would bring me no benefits,” Doctor Wang vehemently denied everything; with Lady Tang unconscious and no one to plead for him, and Prince Pu being so hot-tempered, if he knew that Doctor Wang was behind the poisoning, it would be a miracle if he wasn’t killed on the spot.
