Chapter 492: House Fight Turns into Thriller 31
The imperial physician stared at the princess's gradually stabilizing breathing, feeling a little relieved, but then he was surrounded by deep worry. He knew very well that the poisoning incident had made the princess's physique extremely weak, and she could fall into the brink of life and death again at any time.
He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned to the maids and guards beside him, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "Although the princess is temporarily out of danger, her body is extremely weak and she urgently needs meticulous care. You must always pay attention to changes in her condition. If there is any abnormality, you must report it to me immediately."
The palace maids and guards nodded after hearing this, their eyes revealing their deep understanding of the imperial physician's words. They knew that the princess was not only a treasure of the royal family, but also an important part of maintaining the reputation and stability of the royal family. Therefore, they dared not slack off or neglect her in the slightest.
After giving a few more instructions, the doctor turned around and was about to leave the princess's bedroom. However, at this moment, the princess suddenly coughed lightly and then spat out a mouthful of blood. This sudden change shocked the doctor, and he immediately stopped and ran back to the princess's bedside.
Looking at the princess's pale face and the blood on the corner of her mouth, the imperial physician felt an indescribable anger and helplessness. He knew that the murderer was secretly trying to push the princess into the abyss of death. Although he had superb medical skills and a kind heart, he seemed so small and powerless under the shadow of power.
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm his inner turmoil. Then, he took out the silver needles and herbs he carried with him and began to provide more in-depth treatment for the princess.
He carefully inserted the silver needles and carefully adjusted the proportion and dosage of the herbs. His hands danced lightly on the princess' body, as if he was playing a melody of life. However, despite his best efforts, the princess's physical condition did not improve significantly. Her face was still pale and her breath was getting weaker.
The imperial physician stared at the princess's eyes that were gradually losing their spirit, and a deep sense of despair and powerlessness surged in his heart. He knew that he had tried his best, but still could not save the princess' life. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel unprecedented frustration and self-blame.
At this moment, a palace maid hurried into the bedroom, her expression nervous and serious: "My Lord, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager ask you to go to the Imperial Study immediately!"
The imperial physician's heart tightened when he heard this. He knew that the news that the princess had been poisoned again must have alarmed the emperor and the queen mother. They would definitely ask about the cause and effect of this matter. How should he respond and explain?
He sighed helplessly, and then followed the palace maid to the imperial study. He saw the emperor and the empress dowager sitting in the study, looking solemn and serious. Their eyes were like torches, fixed on the imperial physician, as if they wanted to see into his heart.
After the imperial physician came forward and bowed, he reported his investigation and treatment to the emperor and the empress dowager in detail. He told them that he had obtained some important clues and evidence, but still could not determine who the real murderer was. He also admitted that the princess was in extremely weak physical condition and could be in danger again at any time.
The emperor and the queen mother listened to the report of the imperial physician, and their expressions became more and more solemn. They knew that the princess' poisoning incident was serious and they had to find out the truth as soon as possible and punish the murderer severely. Otherwise, the reputation and stability of the royal family would be seriously threatened.
The emperor looked at the imperial physician, his tone firm and unquestionable: "Imperial physician, as the imperial physician of the royal family, you must do your best to treat the princess. I know you have tried your best, but I still hope you can think of another way."
When the imperial physician heard this, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew very well that this was the emperor's trust and encouragement to him. He nodded slightly to show that he understood.
The Queen Mother looked at the imperial physician and said in a soft but firm tone: "Imperial physician, you have worked hard. I know this matter is very difficult for you, but I hope you can hold on a little longer. The princess is the treasure of the royal family. Her safety is related to the reputation and stability of the entire royal family."
The imperial physician was more resolute in his determination after hearing this. He nodded again, indicating that he would do his best to save the princess.
After coming out of the imperial study, the imperial physician was still in a heavy mood. He knew that he had to find the murderer as soon as possible to ensure the princess's safety. So he once again devoted himself to the secret investigation.
He used his medical skills and influence to secretly collect clues and evidence. He visited the maids and guards around the princess one by one, asking in detail about the details and circumstances before and after the princess was poisoned. He also personally checked the princess's diet and daily necessities, trying to find any possible clues and evidence.
After several days of unremitting efforts, he finally found an important clue. He found that the princess had contact with a mysterious maid before she was poisoned, and the maid disappeared mysteriously after the princess was poisoned. What surprised him even more was that the maid had appeared in the queen's bedroom. Could it be that the queen was related to this matter?
He did not dare to think too much, and immediately compiled the clues and evidence he found into a detailed report, and then submitted it to the emperor and the empress dowager. He hoped to get their support and help to jointly uncover the truth and severely punish the murderer.
However, to his disappointment, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not take immediate action. They said they would carefully consider the contents of the report before making a decision. The imperial physician knew that this was them weighing the pros and cons and various relationships. He sighed helplessly and then left the imperial study.
After returning to the palace, the imperial physician felt more and more depressed. He knew that he had tried his best, but still could not reveal the truth. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel unprecedented frustration and helplessness. However, he did not give up hope. He firmly believed that as long as he had enough courage and wisdom, he would be able to find the real murderer.
So he once again started a secret investigation. He used his medical skills and influence to secretly collect more clues and evidence. He visited more people related to the princess one by one, asking in detail about the details and circumstances before and after the princess was poisoned. He also personally checked the princess's diet and daily necessities, trying to find more clues and evidence.
During the investigation, he encountered many difficulties and obstacles. Some people were wary of him and unwilling to reveal the truth; others were afraid of him and dared not speak easily. However, the imperial physician was not discouraged. He knew that only by persisting could he find the truth.
After a period of hard work, he finally found more clues and evidence. He discovered that the mysterious maid had not only appeared in the queen's bedroom, but also had close contact with the queen's personal maid. This made him more convinced that the queen must be related to this matter.
However, it was not easy to present this important discovery to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. He knew that he had to act cautiously so as not to alert the enemy. So he decided to secretly observe the Empress's actions and then find the right time to reveal the truth.
In the following days, the imperial physician continued to treat the princess while secretly observing the queen's movements. He found that the queen was unusually calm and composed after learning that he was investigating the matter. This made him more convinced that the queen must have something fishy going on.
Finally, on a sunny afternoon, the imperial physician found a suitable opportunity. He compiled all the clues and evidence he had collected into a detailed report and presented it to the emperor and the empress dowager. He pleaded with them to take immediate action to reveal the truth and severely punish the murderer.
The emperor and the empress dowager looked more and more solemn as they read the report submitted by the imperial physician. They knew that this incident had touched the bottom line of the royal family. They had to find out the truth as soon as possible to maintain the reputation and stability of the royal family.
After careful consideration, the Emperor and the Queen Mother decided to take immediate action. They sent a team of skilled guards to search the Queen's bedroom and secretly monitor her actions. At the same time, they also summoned important officials to discuss how to deal with this crisis.
The imperial physician watched the emperor and the empress dowager's decisive decision, and he felt relieved and admired. He knew that only when the royal family worked together could they cope with this crisis. He prayed silently, hoping that the princess would recover soon and that the royal family would be able to overcome this difficulty.
After a period of effort and investigation, the truth finally came to light. It turned out that the queen was jealous of the princess's favor and secretly planned the poisoning. She instructed the mysterious maid to mix poison into the princess's food in an attempt to kill her. However, the net of justice is long and nothing can escape it, and her crime was eventually exposed.
After learning the truth, the emperor and the queen mother were furious. They immediately ordered the queen to be banished to the cold palace and deprived of all her power and status. At the same time, they also severely punished the mysterious maid to serve as a warning to others.
The imperial physician watched all this happen and felt extremely relieved. He knew that his persistence and hard work had finally brought the truth to light. He prayed silently, hoping that the princess would be safe in this storm and that the royal family would be able to restore its former tranquility and harmony.
After the careful treatment and care of the imperial physician, the princess gradually recovered. She regained her vitality and became a beautiful sight in the royal family. The imperial physician also won high praise and trust from the emperor and the empress dowager for his outstanding performance in this incident. He knew that this was his duty and mission as an imperial physician. He would continue to work hard and contribute to the health and well-being of the royal family. He finally found more clues and solid evidence. He noticed that the mysterious maid had had close contact with the maid next to the queen. What was even more surprising was that the maid next to the queen also mysteriously disappeared for a while after the princess was poisoned. This discovery made him more certain of his inner guess: the queen must be involved in this matter!
Therefore, he once again carefully compiled the clues and evidence he had collected into a detailed report and submitted it to the emperor and the empress dowager. He eagerly hoped to get their full support to jointly uncover the truth and severely punish the real culprit.
