Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess

Chapter 59 Nurse Xi Apologizes

Queen Chu looked at Poly in surprise. "What did you hear wrong? I asked you to return the Southern

Pearls. How did you report it?"

"Your Grace..." Poly's lips turned pale and she trembled violently. "I thought that Princess Chu sent the

Southern Pearl for Prince Yu. So I said that Princess Chu would like to ask you to speak up for Prince

Yu."

Queen Chu was furious. "How dare you guess randomly? How dare you!"

Queen Chu suddenly calmed down. Poly had followed her for many years who had always been calm.

It was impossible for her to say anything nonsense in front of The Emperor.

She immediately thought of Chu Mingcui.

Chu Mingcui had proposed to find Queen Xian before, but she thought that there was no need to go

against Queen Xian for the time being. Since Queen Xian was the Queen Mother's niece, they would

probably get in trouble if they offended her.

Emperor Mingyuan's face darkened. How could Poly dare? Thinking of it might be the Queen's order,

he glanced at the Queen's face coldly.

Queen Chu had no choice but to stand out and slap Poly and said angrily, "How dare you! How dare

you tell His Majesty about your wild guesses? Do you want to die?"

Poly knelt on the ground and did not dare to cover her face. She just cried, "Your Majesty, please

forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Mingyuan ordered expressionlessly, "Guards, drag Yu Bao down and flog her heavily 30

times."

Although Empress Chu felt sorry for Nurse Xi, she could not speak up for her. She had to say

indignantly, "It's a favor to you. Thank His Majesty immediately."

Poly kowtowed, shaking with fright. She said with a pale face, "Thank you for your punishment, Your

Majesty."

Yu Bao was dragged out. After a while, there were crackling sounds of staff beating and groans

outside.

Empress Chu's expression was calm but her heart was burning with anxiety, scolding Chu Mingcui for

being reckless in her heart.

Queen Xian was now watching the fun. She had thought that her daughter-in-law would fawn over the

Empress and humiliate her. However, she did not expect it was so complicated that she had to take it

seriously.

Emperor Mingyuan looked at Yuan Qingling with complicated emotions in his eyes.

This matter could not be questioned any further. Even if Yuan Qingling had ordered Nurse Xi to send

the Southern Pearls, he could only let it go.

He was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

After all, Nurse Xi was the people who followed the Retired Emperor for a long time. He couldn't make

any mistakes, lest the retired emperor get angry and being sick.

After thinking for a while, he said lightly, "Since everything is clear and the one who makes mistakes

has been punished. You can all go back."

The Empress knew that The Emperor had misunderstood her and thought that she was trying to frame

Yu Wenhao. However, it was useless to defend herself. She should ask Chu Mingcui and make it clear,This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

so she left in a hurry.

Queen Xian glanced at Yuan Qingling and left. She already knew how things stand, but The Emperor

obviously did not want to reveal the true face of the fake peace. The royal family needed to keep its

prestige.

Nurse Xi also wanted to leave, but Yuan Qingling said, "Nurse Xi, I have something to ask you."

Emperor Mingyuan warned, "Princess Chu, let's call it a day."

Yuan Qingling changed her calmness and said seriously, "Father, it is a very important question which

must be clear at all."

Nurse Xi looked at Yuan Qingling and said indifferently, "What do you want to say, My Lady? Didn't you

ask me to send the Southern Pearls to the Kun Palace? But if you don't admit it, I'll take it as my own

decision. I'll accept the punishment."

Yuan Qingling looked at her and said, "We all know if you're the one who made the decision, but what I

want to ask you is why you changed the old emperor's Activation Pill and then framed Paul."

As soon as she said that, Emperor Mingyuan's face suddenly turned cold. "Princess Chu, what are you

talking about?"

Yuan Qingling looked at Emperor Mingyuan and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how bold I am, I dare

not make up a story and frame a retainer of the Retired Emperor."

Emperor Mingyuan was stunned. Since she was too bold, he believed that she must have something

evidence.

Yuan Qingling turned to stare at Nurse Xi. "The Retired Emperor must have treated you well. Why did

you want to kill him?"

"Shut up!" Nurse Xi stared coldly at her. "I have never tried to harm the Retired Emperor."

"Dare you say that you didn't change the medicine?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Nurse Xi fell silent.

Emperor Mingyuan slowly put down his hand who was about to slap the table. Looking at Nurse Xi

quietly, his heart slowly sank.

Nurse Xi could have retorted, but she didn't.

She was admitting it.

Emperor Mingyuan was shocked and angry. How could it be Nurse Xi?

"Princess Chu, do you have any evidence?" Mu Ru was frightened and could not help but ask.

"The evidence is right in the Qinkun Palace where the Retired Emperor lives. Nurse Xi, do you want to

deny it until we go and find the Retired Emperor? You've done him harm once anyway, so I don't think

you care if he'll get sick because anger with you. Let's go to the Qinkun Palace and confront each

other."

Nurse Xi raised her head quickly, and the light in her eyes dimmed. She looked slouch.

"It's no need to go to the Qinkun Palace. I admit it!" She slowly knelt down.

There was dead silence in the hall with no sound except for the angry breathing of Emperor Mingyuan.

After a while, Emperor Mingyuan said slowly in a hollow tone. "Why?"

A bitter smile appeared on Nurse Xi's face. "I have never wanted to harm the Retired Emperor. I

changed the medicine, but I didn't know that it was poison. When I knew, it was too late."

"So you killed Paul and let him take the blame for you!" Yuan Qingling said coldly.

"I didn't kill him." Nurse Xi said.

"Who ordered you to change the medicine?" Her words sent shivers down Emperor Mingyuan's spine.

There were not many people in the palace who could command Nurse Xi.

Nurse Xi kowtowed. "Your Majesty, please execute me. I won't tell you."

"You..." Emperor Mingyuan was extremely disappointed. "You don't even want to tell me the person

behind? The Retired Emperor made a mistake to trust you for so many years."

Nurse Xi's lips trembled and she was filled with regret and sorrow. "Your Majesty, please allow me to

die. For the sake of I have helped you a lot in the past. Don't interrogate me severely. Once I decided to

keep my mouth closed, I will never open it. Please show your mercy to grant me die, lest I suffer before

I die."

Emperor Mingyuan could not be so cruel. He was definitely not a kind person, but he only treated

Nurse Xi and servant Chang different from other servants, because they had helped him a lot when he

was the Crown Prince.

Yuan Qingling knew that she would not tell them.

In Nurse Xi's heart, the Retired Emperor had a very important position.

She was even willing to give her life to him.

But she would do this for someone, someone more important than the Retired Emperor, someone

whom she would rather die than protect.

It was only then that Yuan Qingling asked about the Southern Pearl, "Then, who asked you to send the

Southern Pearl to the Empress?"

Nurse Xi was silent for a moment, and stopped when she was going to say something.

Emperor Mingyuan was shocked and angry. "Can't you even say that?"

With tears in her eyes, Nurse Xi took a deep breath and choked with sobs. "It was Princess Wenqing's

idea to send the Southern Pearl to the Empress. She hated Princess Chu for taking Prince Wenhao

away, so she wanted to take revenge on her."

"Is it Princess Wenqing's idea to change the medicine?" Emperor Mingyuan's eyes were filled with fury.

Nurse Xi shook her head. "It's not her. She doesn't have the ability to command me to harm the Retired

Emperor."

"Does she have the ability to order you to harm Princess Chu?" Emperor Mingyuan said coldly.
