Chu Mingyuan’s eyes darkened. “Since you refuse, I will have the empress bring the witness here to question you and find out who you are and what your intentions are!”
...“Emperor, the genius doctor is a good person, and you…” Consort Xiang anxiously wanted to plead for Su Yingxue, but Chu Mingyuan restrained her.
Chu Mingyuan held her tightly. “Xiang’er, your heart is pure and easily manipulated by others. Let me handle the questioning. Don’t worry, I will be fair.”
“Emperor…” Consort Xiang wanted to speak again, but she saw Chu Mingyuan’s face darken. He didn’t allow her to speak further.
If she pleaded again, it would only anger him and erase his compassion for her.
Consort Xiang looked apologetically at Su Yingxue, and Su Yingxue waved her hand, indicating that Consort Xiang didn’t need to worry.
She also wanted to see who the empress had brought as a witness.
The empress sent Grand Eunuch Liu Fu out, and he returned with a graceful woman. She wore a pure white dress adorned with jasmine flowers, and her whole being exuded flawless beauty like a blooming white lotus.
Su Yurou gracefully knelt. “Su Yurou, daughter of the Marquis of Martial South, pays respects to the emperor, empress, and Consort Xiang.”
“Rise.” Chu Mingyuan spoke coldly, “The empress claims that you are a witness. What evidence do you have to prove that this genius doctor has an unknown background?”
“Emperor, I am the witness. The owner of Tongchang Medical Center is my sister, Su Yingxue. My sister has never known any genius doctor, so the identity of this person remains unknown. I beseech emperor to thoroughly investigate,” Su Yurou spoke earnestly, and the shimmering light in her eyes made it hard not to believe her.
Chu Mingyuan’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Su Yingxue. “Who are you exactly? Infiltrating the residence of the Marquis’s daughter with unclear intentions!”
The empress let out a smug laugh. This genius doctor of unknown origin would have an unfavorable outcome!
Su Yingxue pressed her thin lips together, responding casually, “Emperor, I don’t have any hidden motives. I simply want to use my medical skills to treat and benefit the people.”
Chu Yihan observed the woman beside him, his eyes filled with approving light. She was covered from head to toe, but it couldn’t conceal her radiance.
“Emperor, I implore you no matter what mistake this genius doctor has committed, please don’t blame my sister. My sister is still inexperienced and was deceived by her, that’s why she did this. My sister did not intentionally harm Consort Xiang and the empress, causing the emperor’s harem to be restless.” Su Yurou pleaded earnestly. It was hard not to notice that compared to her sister, she considered her sister to be brainless.
Su Yingxue’s reputation for being impulsive and foolish had spread throughout Jiang Du City. Whenever Chu Mingyuan thought of her, he furrowed his brow. He remembered that as a child, she would often cause trouble in the palace, but he never paid much attention to her as a young girl, thanks to Old General Su’s merits.
Now she had brought an unidentified genius doctor, which was infuriating!
“Your sister opens a medical center without even knowing the doctor’s identity. It shows her lack of qualifications!” Chu Mingyuan’s expression was cold. “I may not blame her, but if the identity of this genius doctor isn’t clarified, I will not let her go!”
“Emperor, although the genius doctor’s background is unknown, my sister is innocent. I implore you not to link the two together. My sister truly doesn’t know the reasons,” Su Yurou emphasized once again the connection between the genius doctor and Su Yingxue, causing people to speculate.
The empress sneered, “Even if your sister doesn’t know this person’s identity, she’s still suspected of harboring them.. If this person is guilty, your sister won’t escape the consequences!”
