Chapter 189: Princess Zhaoyang's Scheme

e assassin's shocked gaze, Qingxuan stated, "Our agreement was that if I could cure A Yue's illness, you would tell me who sent you to kill my husband."I don't want you to tell me right now. 。Whether...A flash of coldness crossed Qingxuan's eyes.

This Xu Shirui, to insult her master—she clearly came prepared for this.

Seeing Zhou Gong remain silent, Xu Shirui's eyes gleamed with even greater triumph. 。

Xu Shiru: "Hit me!"

Qingxuan: "Master Zhou, I'm here today to treat Chen Lingyue's serious illness..." 。For a physician, facing such complex critical cases requires composure. 。Only an excellent mental state can help cure Chen Lingyue's illness. 。If my disciple was beaten today for entering the palace, or if it was because of what I said, this master would feel guilty. 。This heart naturally cannot be still. 。When Chen Lingyue's treatment fails, it won't be just my face, Ji Qingxuan, that is lost. It will be the face of the entire royal family. 。When Qingxuan spoke these words, her voice was not loud, but it was neither humble nor arrogant, and rang out clearly. 。

Zhou Dequan originally didn't want to get involved, after all, he was just an eunuch. Princess Chaoyang had the Empress backing her up, and she was fighting someone unimportant.

But as soon as Qingxuan uttered these words, Zhou Dequan immediately took a stand. 。If Qingxuan is truly distracted by her newly accepted apprentice being beaten and unable to treat Chen Lingyue, then this situation would be dire!This would greatly affect the emperor's judgment of Qingxuan's medical skills. 。Now Chen Lingyue is one foot in the grave, and her symptoms are similar to the emperor's. 。If Qingxuan could cure even Chen Lingyue, she would naturally be able to cure the emperor's illness. 。

Therefore, before Qingxuan treated Chen Lingyue, he absolutely couldn't let Xu Shirui disturb Qingxuan's mind.

Zhou Dequan immediately stepped forward and said, "Princess Chaoyang, the Crown Princess and her disciple are visiting the palace for the first time. It is quite normal for them to be unfamiliar with the court etiquette." 。Although the Emperor said there were no rules, it wasn't a harmonious circle. 。But the prerequisite is that the other party is very clear about this rule. 。As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. I hope Princess Chaoyang won't blame a young maiden who's just entered the palace for the first time. 。Xu Shirui's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. 。

In this palace, to survive, those of her status need even more discretion and understanding of human nature.

She not only knew the empress and emperor's dispositions well, but she also had a thorough understanding of even the palace maids and eunuchs. 。Before her father passed away, he told her to be careful and cautious after entering the palace. He said that it's easier to deal with a gentleman than a scoundrel. 。

People like her, who have lost their parents and have no real support, should never offend villains.

Upon hearing Zhou Dequan's words, Xu Shirui was furious and wanted to slap Zhou Dequan twice. However, she was very aware of Zhou Dequan's importance to the Emperor. 。If she offended Zhou Dequan, her life in the palace would probably not be as smooth as before. 。Perhaps in some seemingly insignificant trifle, the other party could manipulate her. 。

Xu Shiru forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Xu Shirui: "What Master Zhou said is" 。Today, Shi Rui acted rashly out of desperation. 。The most important thing now is that the Crown Princess demonstrates her medical skills and heals the patients. 。If the Crown Princess fails to cure the patient and damages the royal reputation, she will ultimately blame it on Shi Rui. 。Shi Rui certainly couldn't bear the weight of such a charge. 。As Xu Shirui said this, her eyes were still full of mockery when looking at Qingxuan. 。

Chen Lingyue's situation, she had already inquired about before she came. Even if a great immortal came, it would be impossible to save Chen Lingyue.

Now she doesn't need to rush to shame Ji Qingxuan. 。By the time Ji Qingxuan's manuscript is finished and she's crushed, there will be plenty of time for Ji Qingxuan to grovel at her feet even more pathetically than a dog. 。

Xu Shirui immediately ordered her people to let go of Zhou Hong.

Xu Shiru: "Sir Zhou, I heard that the Emperor is on his way here." 。Either let the Princess Consort go in first to see Chen Lingyue's condition, so that she can have some peace of mind. 。

Qingxuan, upon hearing this, remained silent.

What is Xu Shirui trying to make her feel secure about 。Xu Shirui clearly wanted to see her panic and despair after seeing Chen Lingyue's state. 。le to dodge this catastrophe""Yes, I am the one who killed those palace maids, and I was also the one who tried to force Lady Li into doing things against her will. These are my crimes, and I admit th...
