Thinking of this, Nangong Zhen's lips curved up in a brilliant smile.
”With This King's permission, my woman will see who dares to move.” At this critical moment, Nangong Lin still stood up for Yan Xiaoxi.
And his current actions were no longer able to comfort Yan Xiaoxi's wounded heart.
Since he didn't believe her anymore, why did he still try to protect her?
Hmph, she, Yan Xiaoxi, doesn't need other people's sympathy!
”Royal brother, the Nanshui Kingdom has its own laws. The Son of Heaven has violated the law and is also guilty of crimes with the commoners. Killing people must be paid with one's life.” It was not easy to get this rare opportunity, Nangong Zhen naturally did not want to miss it.
”Xue'er is standing right in front of Xi Er. What's so strange about that? If the person standing on Xi Er's seat is my royal brother, then are you the killer?” Was it too hasty a judgment? ” Nangong Lin's words were reasonable.
”Miss Liu didn't point her entire arm towards Princess Lin, but rather her finger. If Miss Liu hadn't wanted to identify the culprit, how could her finger have ended up like that when she fainted?” Nangong Zhen was not stupid and did not hesitate to go back.
”Why don't we wait for Xue'er to wake up before we speak?” When Liu Zhixue had fainted, the imperial physician was already on his way to the main hall.
Nangong Zhen smiled mockingly and continued, ”Is your royal brother's protection too obvious? Everyone knows that Miss Liu likes you. It is not certain that I would lie for you.”
The ministers nodded in agreement.
Women were blind in front of love. No one in the Southern Water Country did not know Liu Zhixue's feelings for Nangong Lin.
He had rejected all the young masters from famous families who came to propose for him, and even up until now, he had never regretted such a sacrifice. What else could he not do?
Under the tense atmosphere, the imperial physician carried the medicine chest into the hall, worn out from all the work.
”Greetings, your majesty. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!” The imperial physician surveyed his surroundings before bowing to Nangong Xiao.
He, who had already been on duty in the palace for many years, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter the moment he walked into the palace.
Today was the birthday of the Crown Prince. He should have been happy and in high spirits, but what was the tension in front of him?
”What are you blanking out for? Show it to Miss Liu.” Nangong Lin scolded angrily, scaring the Imperial Physician out of his wits, causing his entire body to tremble.
”Yes.” Immediately, the imperial physician made his move.
She took out a tool and placed it under Liu Zhixue's arm, then used a thread to check her pulse. After confirming repeatedly, the imperial physician came to a conclusion, ”Miss Liu is a symptom of being poisoned.”
Who here didn't know about this? These words were just superfluous, superfluous words.
”However, this official has yet to determine what kind of poison it is. However, this poison is not difficult to cure. This official can just take the medicine and drink it.” As she spoke, the imperial physician wrote down a formula on a piece of paper and passed it to a palace maid.
The palace maid took the prescription and rushed to the Grand Hospital.
Not long after, the palace maid came back with the Black Turtle soup. She gave the medicine to Liu Zhitian, who carefully fed the antidote to his daughter, spoonful by spoonful.
He saw the bottom of the bowl of medicine, but there was no sign of Liu Zhixue waking up.
During this period of time, Yan Xiaoxi had been observing the palace maid who was brewing medicine, and her body was emitting an unusual herbal scent.
Although this wasn't surprising, Yan Xiaoxi still felt that something was amiss.
”Why hasn't Xue'er woken up yet?” Liu Zhitian asked anxiously.
”General Liu, don't be impatient.” The imperial physician was very confident in his own medical skills. It wasn't some strange poison in the first place, so it was easy to cure.
