Chapter 40 She Was Exposed
Chapter 40 She Was Exposed
Yuan Qingling followed Tang Yang to the hall.
Tang Yang already told her the reason along the way.
Emperor found out that she privately treated Retired Emperor, so he was furious and ordered Mu Ru to
personally bring her to the imperial palace for questioning.
She felt worried. She knew the rules of imperial palace. She was not an imperial physician, not a
doctor. She was not qualified to treat the Retired Emperor.
Mu Ru waited solemnly in the hall. Seeing that Yuan Qing came in, he stood up and said, "Princess
Chu, emperor invites you to the imperial palace."
Yuan Qingling only asked, "How is Retired Emperor?"
"Retired Emperor was poisoned and unconscious." Mu Ru replied.
Yuan Qingling understood.
No wonder emperor wanted to punish her. If nothing happened just because of the treatment, she
would not be punished or gain any rewards. But once something was wrong, she would be responsible
for all the mistakes.
Retired Emperor was poisoned.
When she followed Mu Ru out of the mansion, she saw Gu Si waiting there.
Gu Si said calmly, "Princess Chu, please get on the carriage."
There were no stools.
Yuan Qingling climbed onto the carriage with difficulty. She suddenly remembered that she didn't tell
Tang Yang to pay attention to see if Yu Wenhao had a fever, so she lifted up the curtain and said to Gu
Si, "I have something to say to Tang Yang."
Gu Si said coldly, "Princess Chu, you'd better not do useless things. Just go to the imperial palace."
Yuan Qingling was stunned, "Useless things? What do you mean?"
"Take good care of yourself. Don't make Prince Wenhao in trouble." Gu Si said coldly.
Yuan Qingling sneered, "Well, I know. Please help me tell Tang Yang to pay attention to see if Yu
Wenhao had a fever. If he had a fever, take a pill that I already placed at the bedside. It quickly works."
The curtain fell, covering her cold expression.
Yuan Qingling's heart was extremely cold, and she knew this was a society full of suspicion.
Gu Si rode ahead. Emperor already took care of Yuan Qingling's face, and did not punish her in public.
Instead, he arranged a luxurious carriage to pick her up.
Yuan Qingling was taken to the Royal Workroom.
In Royal Workroom, all windows and doors were closed.
The color in the hall was bright and luxurious. The huge sandalwood folding screen was engraved with
the pattern of flying dragons. The bright yellow curtain was hung down, and its smooth wrinkles were
like the water wave with clear lines.
Emperor Mingyuan sat on the dragon chair, with his hands on the huge carved dragon-riding table
made of pear wood. On the table, a three-legged hollow copper censer was emitting smoke with the
smell of banyan, which made people sober up immediately.
The majesty of the royal family made people want to kneel down.
This was the power of the imperial power.
It already permeated the air.
Yuan Qingling did not dare to look at Emperor Mingyuan. She could only see a shadow before she
knelt down, "Yuan Qingling greet to father!"
"Raise your head!" Emperor Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but it sounded from all directions.
Yuan Qingling slowly raised her head, but looked down and did not dare to look straight at Emperor
Mingyuan.
Emperor Mingyuan looked at her, "Have you treated Retired Emperor in private?"
It didn't sound like an accusation, but a casual question, but with anger.
Yuan Qingling did not dare to deny, as she knew that he must have evidence, and said, "Yes."
"Where do you learn medical skills from?" Emperor Mingyuan asked again.
Before Yuan Qingling entered the imperial palace, she already thought of an excuse, "When I was
young, I met a woman doctor. She used to live in Capital for a period of time. She liked me very much,
so she asked me to learn medical skills from her."
"How long have you learned?"
"One year."
"What's your master's name?" Emperor Mingyuan tried to figure the truth out.
Yuan Qingling said, "I don't know. Master doesn't tell me."
Yuan Qingling's words were completely convincing but flawless, which made Emperor Mingyuan very
angry.
"Does Yu Wenhao ask you to treat Retired Emperor?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "He doesn't know about this."
"He doesn't know?" Emperor Mingyuan pursed his lips tightly and narrowed his eyes. He said coldly,
"The first time you fed Retired Emperor the medicine was that you visited Retired Emperor with Yu
Wenhao. How dare you say that he doesn't know?"
Yuan Qingling did not want to make Yu Wenhao into trouble, so she insisted on saying, "He really don't
know. It just needs an instant for me to feed Retired Emperor medicine. It's a pill, and I just need to put
it into Retired Emperor's mouth and it will melt slowly."
If she said that Yu Wenhao knew the truth, she would not be punished, and Emperor Mingyuan would
definitely think that Yu Wenhao ordered her to do it, so she could save her life.
Emperor Mingyuan would not kill Yu Wenhao.
This was the best way.
However, Yuan Qingling did not want to drag him in. It was unfair to him, although he was a very bad Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
man.
"Is it this bottle of pills?" While Emperor Mingyuan took out a bottle of medicine and put it on the table,
he asked.
Yuan Qingling raised her head and had a look. It was Emergency Pill.
She nodded silently, "Yes!"
"What is this medicine used for? What is it made of? Who gives it to you?"
"This is an Active Core Pill. It's made of bezoar, toad, ginseng, velvet antler, antelope horn, pig gall,
and other medicinal materials. It's an emergency medicine to restore one's heart in a short time. My
master gave me when she came to Capital one year ago. My master asked me to carry it."
When Yuan Qingling said this, she felt very worried, as Emergency Pills were made of nitric acid
glycerol. What she said was the medicinal materials for Core Pills.
Emperor Mingyuan smelt it, and said, "Even though I don't know medicinal properties, I know that this
medicine doesn't have ginseng, bezoar and others as you said."
Yuan Qingling was shocked,"I... I don't know well. Master told me this."
"Mu Ru, take one to Princess Chu, and ask her to take it like the way of Retired Emperor." Emperor
Mingyuan ordered.
Mu Ru stepped forward to take one pill to Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling put the pill under her tongue.
Mu Ru was staring at her movements.
"Send her to Rest Room and ask Gu Si to take care of her!" Emperor Mingyuan said, "Ask Lord Yuan to
come in."
Yuan Qingling did not remember who Lord Yuan was in a short time. After Mu Ru took her to Rest
Room, she remembered Lord Yuan was her father.
Her father was a selfish and utilitarian man.
When Yuan Qing was invited to the Princess' Mansion to set up Yu Wenhao, she was strongly
supported by Lord Yuan.
When Yuan Qingling succeeded in marrying Yu Wenhao, Lord Yuan found she was not favored. He felt
very disappointed as Yu Wenhao did not accompany her when Yuan Qingling returned home three
days after her marriage.
At the beginning, Lord Yuan acted as Yu Wenhao's father-in-law. However, he slowly realized that Yu
Wenhao did not take him seriously at all, so he completely gave up and did not care about Yuan
Qingling.
