"Stop! What are you doing!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted.
This shout was like lightning striking Imperial Physician Liu's body, causing him to tremble in fear.
Sure enough, at this moment, a group of people rushed into Yongle Palace. The one leading the group was Wei Qi.
"Ah! Help! Imperial Physician Liu, what did you do to bengong?”
Concubine Zhu woke up at this time. After feeling her own abnormality, she immediately cried out in surprise.
However, there was nothing to stop him. In the midst of his panic, he could see the spring light around him.
"Reporting to the Empress, I, I…this official is innocent, this official is innocent!”Imperial Physician Liu's expression changed. He really had a hard time explaining himself and didn't know how to explain.
Seeing this scene, Wei Qi shook his head and steeled his heart. Then, he said proudly,""Someone, tie this thief up for me! Send him to the Scenic Yang Palace for the Empress to punish him!”
" I'm innocent, I'm innocent…"
No matter how much Imperial Physician Liu shouted, it was useless. A few people immediately rushed up and tied Imperial Physician Liu up, directly escorting him to Scenic Yang Palace.
The group of people marched towards Scenic Yang Palace in a grandiose manner, with Wei Qi walking at the forefront. He looked majestic, like a great general.
Soon, even the Empress was alarmed. It had to be said that Consort Zhu and Imperial Physician Liu's intercourse was really damaging to the royal family's reputation.
When the tied up Imperial Physician Liu was thrown in front of the Empress, Wei Qi finally saw the Empress's face for the first time.
Although she looked a little old, she still had her charm, especially between her eyebrows. There was still a hint of charm. It was obvious that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.
However, the Empress seemed to be in a bad mood.
She had already heard the report from her subordinate. Her expression turned cold as she said,"What's going on, Imperial Physician Liu, you actually dare to taint Consort Zhu, you really have guts!”
"Empress, please judge!"
Imperial Physician Liu's face was full of tears as he hurriedly shouted,"The reason is that a palace maid of the Bamboo Light Palace told me that Concubine Zhu was sick and asked me to go to Yongle Palace to see a doctor. When I arrived, Concubine Zhu was already lying there.”
Imperial Physician Liu immediately cried out in grievance. He was also very anxious because he had not tasted the fish and was still covered in a fishy smell.
"Tell me, what exactly happened!”
The Empress's gaze swept towards Wei Qi with an unquestionable majesty.
Seeing that the Empress was looking at him, Wei Qi smiled and replied calmly,""Reporting to the Empress, this servant is not clear about what Imperial Physician Liu said. However, this servant only knows that when Imperial Physician Liu and Concubine Zhu were found to be having an affair, there were many people present.”
"Impossible. Reporting to the Empress, there was indeed a little palace maid from the Bamboo Light Palace who came to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to look for me. She said that Consort Zhu was seriously ill. This matter is absolutely true.”
Imperial Physician Liu cried out in a hurry. Defiling the concubines of the harem was a great crime that would lead to the extermination of the entire family. He could not afford to bear it.
"Since Imperial Physician Liu claimed that the little palace maid of Bamboo Light Palace had called him here, why don't we have the palace maid of Bamboo Light Palace come to Scenic Yang Palace and let Imperial Physician Liu recognize him on the spot…"
Wei Qi smiled faintly, looking as if he was inviting her to do as she pleased.
"Alright, come, go to Bamboo Light Palace and bring all the palace maids here.”
This was a matter of great importance, so the Empress didn't hesitate and directly issued an edict.
"Yes!"
A few young eunuchs received the edict and quickly summoned all the palace maids of the Bamboo Light Palace.
Wei Qi said to Imperial Physician Liu with a cold face,""Imperial Physician Liu, you keep saying that the palace maids of Bamboo Light Hall led you to Hua Le Palace. In front of the Empress, you have to recognize them carefully.”
"This…this…Your Highness the Empress is wise. When that little palace maid came, she did say that her Bamboo Light Palace was waiting for Consort Zhu's maid. If this lowly official dares to lie, I will be struck by lightning!”
After reading it once, Imperial Physician Liu was dumbfounded. Among the rows of palace maids, there was no trace of the little palace maid. Thus, he hurriedly shouted.
"Could it be that Imperial Physician Liu wants to call all the palace maids over to interrogate them one by one?”
Wei Qi stared at Imperial Physician Liu and said indifferently.
Then, Wei Qi looked at the Empress with a flattering expression and said,""Reporting to the Empress, Imperial Physician Liu's lies were clearly exposed and he was driven to desperation.”
"Humph!"
After hearing Wei Qi's words, the Empress was finally enraged.""Imperial Physician Liu, how dare you! He actually dared to cause trouble in the palace. Men, take him away and lock him in the imperial prison! Three days later, he would be executed! As for Concubine Zhu, she was banished to the Cold Palace and would never be able to step out of the Cold Palace again!”
Imperial Physician Liu finally collapsed on the ground, motionless. He was so scared that he peed all over the ground.
After doing all of this, the corners of the Empress's mouth twitched. Wei Qi even seemed to see a trace of admiration in the Empress's eyes…
It seemed that this Empress had long wanted to overthrow Consort Zhu. Indeed, a woman's heart was the most poisonous…
Wei Qi laughed coldly in his heart as he thought about it.
