"Ah?" Yang Ruxin’s eyes widened instantly, "Terminal illness? How is that possible? From what I can see with my medical skills, the princess is in excellent health and eats heartily. In the future, she’ll definitely live to eighty if not ninety."
"You’re talking nonsense!" Wanyan Liang suddenly stood up, "She coughed up blood that day, and she said she would die when she got to Jin Country, framing us Jin Country in the process!"
Yang Ruxin’s eyes widened as he looked at Wanyan Liang like he was a fool, "Crown Prince Wanyan, are you awake?"
"What do you mean by that?" Wanyan Liang frowned.
"It means you’re talking in your sleep," Yang Ruxin looked shocked, "Even if your behavior is dissolute, even if you want to find an excuse for your shamelessness, don’t insult the Princess of Pingning. Isn’t that slapping the face of our Great Xuan Dynasty? If something really happened to the princess, what good would it do for you?" The tone turned pletely cold.
"..." Wanyan Liang was somewhat dumbfounded. In terms of eloquence, he was no match for Yang Ruxin. He felt something was off, but just couldn’t articulate it.
"Emperor." At this moment, Princess Ningzi stepped forward, "Although my brother is indulgent, he is absolutely not depraved. Towards Miss Xu, he has never behaved inappropriately. There is obviously more to this than meets the eye."
"Then what does Princess Ningzi think is behind this?"
"My brother was drinking a lot with the princes at the time, his mind was quite muddled. So why did Miss Xu run to his side in the middle of the night?" After speaking, Princess Ningzi said no more. This question was very intriguing, wouldn’t an investigation reveal the truth?
"Crown Prince, investigate this matter."
The Crown Prince nodded in agreement.
"Emperor!" At this moment, Jiang Fangfei suddenly rushed in, crying profusely as she knelt on the ground, "I beg you to seek justice for Fangfei, Crown Prince Wanyan! If you do not wish to be with Fangfei, you can simply say so, why tarnish Fangfei’s reputation? Fangfei represents the dignity of the Xuan Dynasty, yet Crown Prince Wanyan first spread rumors about Fangfei being terminally ill, and then openly indulged with other women. Isn’t this a disdain of our Xuan Dynasty? Isn’t this forcing Fangfei to her death?" As she spoke, without any warning, she suddenly got up and ran toward the pillar to crash into it.
Everyone was startled.
Fortunately, someone reacted quickly and leaped to block the pillar.
Jiang Fangfei smashed into the person’s stomach.
The person couldn’t help but yelp, clearly Jiang Fangfei’s force was tremendous. If she really hit the pillar, her brains would have surely splattered.
"You..." Jiang Fangfei looked up at Wu Zhaoyan, but before she could speak, she suddenly fainted.
"Imperial Physician!" Emperor Xuanjing banged the table.
Instantly, Hen Yizheng came over with two on-duty imperial physicians. The diagnosis was a fainting spell due to an emotional outburst. With acupuncture and a good sleep followed by a couple of doses of medicine, there was no major issue.
As for Jiang Fangfei being terminally ill, Hen Yizheng and the other imperial physicians all shook their heads. They apologized for their lack of talent and genuinely could not discern anything.
Only then did Wanyan Liang finally realize he had probably been deceived. But why deceive him? He couldn’t figure it out, but now wasn’t the time for him to ponder this, as he knew Emperor Xuanjing was very angry now, so he had to appease him somehow. However, Emperor Xuanjing pletely ignored him and turned to leave, which left him exceedingly frustrated.
