"You do deserve to die!" Wei Ziyao let out a long sigh of relief. Her heart was finally at ease.
She knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, I grew up with Jianning. When I was in trouble, Jianning was by my side to protect me. When everyone spurned me, Jianning treated me as a friend and helped me through difficult times. As a person, even if my heart and lungs are rotten, I will never do anything to let Jianning down."
After she finished speaking, Qi Jianning immediately added, "Imperial Father, Ziyao is right. I believe her. The fact that I can wake up is the best proof. Don't be deceived by a villain and wrongly blame Ziyao. Cough, cough, cough …"
She was already weak, and when she was agitated, she coughed violently.
Wei Ziyao stepped forward to help her breathe and take her pulse. Then, she let out a sigh of relief.
"How is it?" Noble Consort Ji asked anxiously.
"There's no problem. Her condition is very stable now. It's all thanks to the continuous use of medicine these days."
"Medicine?" The Emperor's sharp gaze pierced over like a knife.
Wei Ziyao didn't dare to hide anything. She quickly knelt and answered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. When I was imprisoned that day, Imperial Physician Zhang sent his disciple …"
She told the Emperor the whole story. "Fortunately, Imperial Physician Liu had a conscience and wasn't led astray by Imperial Physician Zhang. If it wasn't for him risking his life to help, the princess is afraid …"
"How dare you! How dare you!! "The Emperor was instantly enraged when he heard this.
"Guards! Call Imperial Physician Zhang in for me! "
Eunuch Fu hurriedly went out to summon Imperial Physician Zhang. At this moment, he also understood that his life was over.
"Your Majesty!"
After entering, he knelt down with a plop. His face was already covered in tears.
"Your Majesty, it's all this old official's fault. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"
"Spare your life? You still have the face to beg me to spare your life!? Do you know that it was because of you that We almost lost our only daughter? You almost caused us to do something unjust! "
Imperial Physician Zhang kept kowtowing. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old official has saved so many people for so many years. Even if I didn't have any merits, I still worked hard. This old official …"
"I don't want to hear your nonsense. Guards! Take him away and flog him to death immediately! "
"Wait!" Wei Ziyao stopped him. "Imperial Father, this daughter-in-law has something to ask him."
Seeing that Wei Ziyao had something to ask him, the Emperor flung his sleeves in disgust: "You can ask."
Wei Ziyao followed Imperial Doctor Zhang out. "Let me ask you, did you give the princess something she shouldn't eat, which caused her to …"
Before she could finish her words, Doctor Zhang knelt down.
"Princess Consort, this old official doesn't dare! Even if this old official ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, this old official wouldn't dare to do anything to the Eighth Princess. Who doesn't know that she is the Emperor's favorite? This old official admits that when I found that the Princess was unconscious that day, I just wanted to hit you when you were down. Your Highness is definitely not this old official's doing. Please be magnanimous and help this old official to plead for mercy. The Emperor, he … "
"Take him away." Wei Ziyao waved to the palace guards beside her. "When you torture him, you must beat him slowly. If you beat him too quickly, he won't remember and will be a bad person in his next life."
"Yes!" Doctor Zhang was taken away.
From the beginning, Wei Ziyao didn't believe that it was Qi Jianning's gluttony that caused her to fall into a coma again.
She thought that it was the Imperial Doctor who did it, but now it seems that it wasn't.
When she returned to the Eighth Princess's room, the Emperor and Imperial Consort Ji had already left. Only she and the palace maid were in the room. The palace maid was kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Princess, this servant really doesn't dare to do it again. This servant was stupid and listened to the slanderous words of this villain. Please let this servant go."
"What are you singing now?" Wei Ziyao grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit bowl next to her and sat on the bed, watching the palace maid cry.
"Princess Yin is asking you a question, speak!" Although Qi Jianning was sick, she didn't lack the aura of a princess at all.
"Replying to Imperial Consort, someone gave this little one benefits before, saying that the Princess's diet was too light and not conducive to recovery. This little one secretly added honey and meat to the Princess after you checked the food …"
"What?" Wei Ziyao didn't expect that the source was here. She turned to Qi Jianning, "Can't you taste it?"
