Chapter 515 Is it really all thanks to the imperial physician?
Shen Wantang knelt on the cold, hard ground, and said calmly, "I did have a few arguments with the eldest lady. I was quick-witted and said a few things I shouldn't have said. But the eldest lady often scolds me on weekdays, and I thought it was just a give and take, and it wasn't too extreme. I didn't expect it to alarm the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "You are such a flatterer, you are not a good person at first glance! Qingxi is honest and kind-hearted, how can she be a match for a vicious and cruel bitch like you!"
Xiao Qingxi, who was standing beside her, immediately echoed, "Grandmother is so good at judging people. This Shen Wantang is such a mean and vicious person! Grandmother is so observant that she saw through her true colors right away!"
The Queen Mother patted Xiao Qingxi's hand and said, "Since she is such a worthless person, don't ask her to treat your father and mother. Who knows if she will take the opportunity to murder your father and mother?"
Xiao Qingxi was stunned: "Ah? Will she?"
"Why, you don't think she would? Qingxi, you are still too naive. How can you put your father and mother's lives in the hands of others?"
"But...but she cured my mother of her fainting before."
"Nonsense, it was the imperial physician who cured your mother! Child, how can you be so naive? Shen Wantang is just a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. What ability can she have? It's just wishful thinking to say that she cured your mother's fainting! It was clearly the credit of the imperial physician, but now it's all taken away by such a vicious woman. It's really heartbreaking!"
Xiao Qingxi showed hesitation on his face: "Is it really all the credit of the imperial physician? Then why can't the imperial physician heal my father and mother now?"
"Perhaps your father and mother's condition has worsened, or perhaps this vicious woman has done something to your father and mother!"
Xiao Qingxi was at a loss for words. She couldn't help but look at Nanny Quan, but she saw Nanny Quan kneeling there, not saying a word and not even looking at her.
She turned to look at Nanny Kang again, but saw that she was also kneeling on the ground, with no intention of arguing for Shen Wantang's medical skills.
Looking at Shen Wantang herself, all her arrogance had disappeared. She knelt obediently and did not argue or explain herself.
"Then, Grandmother, what should we do now? Are you not going to let Shen Wantang treat my father and mother?"
"Of course you can't ask her to heal you!"
The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Wantang with disdain and said in a cold voice: "Someone, lock this vicious woman up for me first!"
"According to the Queen Mother's order, Shen will be detained immediately!"
The eunuch's shrill voice sounded, and someone immediately came forward and dragged Shen Wantang away.
Xiao Qingxi watched Shen Wantang being dragged into the palace. Seeing the strange calmness on Shen Wantang's face, he didn't know why he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
She vaguely felt that she seemed to have made another big mistake!
She shouldn't have called her mother-in-law.
However, the Queen Mother ignored her uneasiness and urged her, "Qingxi, don't just stand there, take me to see your father! Why did you suddenly faint?"
Xiao Qingxi came back to her senses. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, took the empress dowager into the palace, and walked towards Shaoguang Courtyard.
The Queen Mother entered the inner room and saw the unconscious Prince Ning. She immediately burst into tears: "My son, how did you become like this? Who hurt you?! Someone! Call the imperial physician!"
Xiao Qingxi had no choice but to speak up: "Grandmother, we have already invited all the imperial doctors, but they are all helpless, so I thought of asking Shen Wantang to give it a try."
"Ridiculous! Can Shen Wantang be better than the imperial physician?! Go, call Imperial Physician Qin, Imperial Physician Zhou, and Imperial Physician Cui! I don't believe they can't cure my son!"
Soon, the imperial doctors were called again.
While several imperial physicians were taking the patient's pulse and discussing treatment methods in the inner room, the empress dowager was judging the case outside.
She called all the people who served Prince Ning and questioned them one by one, hoping to find evidence that Shen Wantang had murdered Prince Ning.
After asking around, I found out that Shen Wantang had never been close to Prince Ning's courtyard in recent days, let alone come into contact with Prince Ning himself.
When Prince Ning was ill, she asked someone to call the imperial physician. The food and medicine that Prince Ning took were all provided by his personal guards, and outsiders had no right to interfere.
The real reason why Prince Ning fainted was that he was so heartbroken when he saw Princess Ning unconscious.
He had already fallen seriously ill because of Xiao Qingyuan's death, and before he had recovered, he was stimulated again, which damaged his heart meridian.
The reason why Princess Ning was in a coma had nothing to do with Shen Wantang. She was simply pissed off by Xiao Qingxi!
The Queen Mother's brows furrowed more and more as she listened to Nanny Quan repeating word for word the arguments that Princess Ning had with Xiao Qingxi before she fell into a coma.
She looked at Xiao Qingxi standing in front of her, and suddenly felt that this granddaughter was not as kind as she had imagined.
She never imagined that Xiao Qingxi would be so rebellious and unfilial that he actually blamed the death of Xiao Qingyuan on the head of Princess Ning, saying that it was because she had not taught her son well that her son refused to live.
"Clear Creek."
The Queen Mother's tone was a little cold, which frightened Xiao Qingxi.
"Grandmother, what's wrong?"
"How did your brother die?"
Xiao Qingxi's teeth chattered: "Grandmother, he...he jumped into the river...to commit suicide."
"As I recall, Qingyuan was a very cheerful child. Why did he suddenly commit suicide?"
Xiao Qingxi felt that the Queen Mother's tone seemed to be getting sharper and sharper. She barely suppressed her panic and whispered, "Doesn't the Royal Grandmother know why my brother committed suicide?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Of course I know, I just saw that you seemed not to know! Tell me! Why did your brother commit suicide!"
"Because, because he loved Liu Nanshi, and now that Liu Nanshi is dead, he doesn't want to live anymore."
"Then tell me, how did Liu Nanshi die?!"
Xiao Qingxi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
She knew it, she knew it!! The question went around and around, and finally came back to her!!
She gritted her teeth and spoke in a tough tone, "What does this mean, Grandmother? How Liu Nanshi died has nothing to do with me! I asked you to come here so that you can order Shen Wantang to save my father and mother, not to ask for punishment!"
The Queen Mother's face darkened: "Xiao Qingxi, you are a junior, how can you talk to your elders like this?!"
"You killed Elder Liu's daughter. The emperor personally apologized to Elder Liu for your crime! You actually said that her death had nothing to do with you? Do you still have a conscience?"
"Not only did you kill Liu Nanshi, you also killed your brother. Your father and mother were reluctant to scold you, so do you really think you are innocent?!"
"As your grandmother, can't I ask for your brother's punishment? Qingyuan is my grandson, the direct descendant of the Xiao royal family. He shoulders the responsibility of inheriting the bloodline. Ten of you are no match for one Qingyuan!"
"Now, not only have you killed your brother, you are also trying to kill your father! Get down on your knees!"
