Rebirth Of Medical Princess

In the palace's confinement room, a maid was tied to a rack and hung up. The palace's confinement was only related to the word confinement. In fact, everyone in the palace knew that this confinement was a place where one abused one's privacy. This had already become an open secret within the palace.

At this moment, the maid was covered in fresh blood. The gaping wounds on her skin were all the work of the salt-stained whip beside her. The maid's clothes had already been torn into pieces, revealing her underwear that was stained with blood. Her hair was in a mess and her face had been beaten black and blue.

"Are you going to say it or not?! "If you don't say it, you will be flogged. If you say anything, you can draw a stick for me!" The old eunuch carried a whip in his hand. He was the eunuch who was responsible for interrogating people in this confinement room. He would never show mercy when torturing people.

The maidservant had been tortured long ago and didn't even have the strength to speak. She could only let out a few light snorts.

"Are you going to say or not?!" Before she could finish her sentence, a whip viciously lashed out at the servant girl's body. When the eunuch saw that the maid was beaten to the point that she had no reaction, he knew that if he continued to beat her up, the maid would die. Thus, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the servant girl's chin, forcing her to ask, "If you say that you still have a life, then the only thing left for you to do is to die."

The maid, Zhang Qian, opened her bloody mouth and said weakly, "Yes, Crown Prince. The Crown Prince asked me to do it." Hearing what the servant said, the old eunuch smiled. He picked up a long written crime from the table and placed it in front of the servant girl. He said in a strange tone, "After you've drawn the oath, you don't have to suffer such physical pain."

The maid nodded. The old eunuch took the maid's hand and forcefully drew a sign without saying anything. The old eunuch was satisfied with the fact that the maid's fingerprints had been left on the evidence. He then revealed a relaxed smile on his face. If he became the Second Prince, he would definitely benefit greatly. Thinking about this, the old eunuch's face showed a hint of greed.

Inside the Emperor's imperial study, the Eunuch Li carefully whispered into the Emperor's ear, "Reporting to the Emperor, the culprit behind Imperial Consort Li's miscarriage has been found." When Eunuch Li said this, his expression carried a trace of panic, and he didn't know whether or not he should tell the Emperor or not.

"Found it? "So fast?" Every time something happened in the palace, it would be difficult to catch the real culprit. This was because the people here were all good at scheming, and only the scapegoats were caught. There were even some people who would close their eyes because of status and power, and in the end, leave it at that.

However, Eunuch Li was not happy at all. Instead, he said with some difficulty: "Yes, I found it."

The emperor noticed that the expression on the Eunuch Li's face was strange. He was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who did it?" The emperor seemed to already know that this was another name he didn't want to hear. But since he had the family law and the country's laws, how could he, as the emperor, allow someone to protect him?

Eunuch Li's expression was nervous as he said, "Yes, yes …" Hearing Eunuch Li's words, the emperor frowned and ordered, "Why are you hesitating? "Hurry up and tell me, who did this?"

"It's the Crown Prince …" Eunuch Li lowered his head, not daring to look into the emperor's eyes. Hearing this, the emperor went silent for a moment, then slammed the table and stood up, out of breath.

Eunuch Li was so scared that his entire body was trembling. He didn't dare to say another word and could only advise the emperor, "Please calm your anger, your majesty." The emperor slapped the table once more and shouted, "How can I quell my anger? This outrageous crown prince, I've given him the most important position and made him Crown Prince, but he's still committing crimes in this palace!"

"The crown prince was probably muddle-headed for a moment. I hope the emperor does not harm the dragon's body." Eunuch Li still didn't forget to flatter the Emperor in front of him. He kneeled on the ground, not daring to say a single word.

The emperor coldly said, "Men! Take down the crown prince! " As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the guards standing by the door started to chase after the crown prince's sleeping quarters. Soon, the crown prince was brought before the emperor. The Crown Prince didn't seem to have realized what had happened and was looking around in his pajamas.

"father, what did I do wrong? Why did you bring me here in the middle of the night?" The crown prince knelt on the floor and looked at the emperor with a lost expression. The Crown Prince's innocent expression didn't make the king soften at all. Instead, he criticized him even more harshly.

The emperor scolded with a cold face, "How dare you! "You're still pretending to be stupid, don't you know what you've done?" The emperor's eyes carried a trace of bloodthirsty dignity. This kind of expression made the crown prince realize the seriousness of the situation, because he knew that the father would always have this kind of expression before killing someone.

"father, no matter what this son has done, this son admits his wrongs, father will definitely not punish this son." The Crown Prince was so scared that he started sweating. He kowtowed to the Emperor. When the emperor saw the Crown Prince like this, his mood eased a little. But it was still enough to send chills down one's spine.

The emperor sighed and said, "Tell me honestly now, does the Imperial Consort Li's miscarriage have anything to do with you?! If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely not forgive you! " The crown prince was even more perplexed by the emperor's words. The Crown Prince was stunned, he frowned and said, "father, the matter of Imperial Consort Li's miscarriage has nothing to do with me, I didn't do it."

"You didn't do it? Is that servant girl called Xiao Mei from your palace? " The emperor asked coldly, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger towards the crown prince Xuanyuan Linhe.

The crown prince was stunned and his face turned extremely ugly. This was because there was indeed a maid called Xiao Mei in his palace. The emperor saw that the face of the crown prince, Xuanyuan Linhe, was deathly pale, and his expression became even more severe. Who would have thought that the crown prince, whom he had single-handedly promoted, would openly stir up trouble in this palace?

"Is she a servant of your palace?!" The Emperor was unwilling to forgive him, and when he spoke, the killing intent in his eyes was enough to send chills down one's spine. Before his voice had even faded, the face of the crown prince Xuanyuan Linhe had already turned completely pale. Xuanyuan Linhe hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor: "father, my palace does have this kind of palace maid, but I wasn't the one who instructed her to poison, right?" Xuanyuan Linhe's voice had already started to tremble, and both of his legs were trembling.

The emperor smiled bitterly in disappointment. He sat on the chair tiredly and asked, "I didn't even say that it was due to the poison. How did you know?" When the Emperor said this, his eyes were filled with disappointment. Towards the crown prince before him, he could only blame himself for being blind back then.

"But in father, everyone in the palace knows that it was because of the scare that Imperial Consort Li got pregnant. This doesn't mean that I am the culprit." Xuanyuan Linhe was so scared that his voice started to tremble, he obviously knew the severity of the situation, and regretted speaking the wrong words.

The Emperor coldly snorted, then took the crime that was already drawn and handed it over to Eunuch Li who was standing at the side and said, "Let him see it, see what he has done! "Let's see what else he has to say!" Once the emperor had finished speaking, the Eunuch Li took the crime and walked over to the crown prince, Xuanyuan Linhe, and handed it to him.

The Crown Prince hurriedly took the confession letter and looked at it. The more he looked, the worse his complexion got. Crown Prince Xuanyuan Linhe's hands, which were holding the crime, were trembling and his face was filled with panic.

"father, I have truly been wrongly accused. I have never done anything mentioned above, so it is even more impossible for me to plant any medicine from Imperial Consort Li. How could I have such a malicious idea?" Xuanyuan Linhe said this with a face full of grievance, but the emperor would not easily believe Xuanyuan Linhe's words.

The emperor sneered. With a trace of disdain on his face, he said, "You know how to be malicious? You, a dignified crown prince, actually dared to lay a hand on a pregnant concubine. "You have really thrown my face!" The Emperor's face was filled with disappointment and anger as he said this.

Xuanyuan Linhe wanted to explain, but he was fiercely rejected by the emperor, "No need, I think you have already achieved your goal. I will immediately issue an imperial decree saying that I will cripple you, the crown prince!" When the Crown Prince, Xuanyuan Linhe, saw this situation, he anxiously rushed to the Emperor's feet and grabbed onto the emperor's feet as he begged, "father, please give me a chance, father. I will definitely teach my palace servants a good lesson in the future." When Xuanyuan Linhe said this, his tears almost fell, but the emperor was unmoved.

"I already gave you a chance, as long as you honestly admit it from the start, I might not cripple you, but you pretended you didn't know anything. You're making me want to cripple you." When the emperor spoke, his eyes also carried traces of sparkling tears. However, as the emperor, he absolutely could not turn a blind eye.

Xuanyuan Linhe sat on the ground in despair, his eyes glazed over. He seemed to have lost all hope in this world.

"The Crown Prince Xuanyuan Linhe has committed evil deeds and caused chaos in the palace. He is a criminal under the heavens. We hereby declare that he has been abrogated as Crown Prince." The imperial edict had been delivered, and it was to abolish the crown prince's edict. This edict immediately caused a huge uproar. Of course, it had also reached Xuanyuan Zhiling's ears, and he did not know if this was a good or bad thing for Xuanyuan Zhiling. Although it helped Xuanyuan Zhiling get rid of a competitor, it also allowed him to understand that Xuanyuan Mocheng's capabilities were not to be underestimated.

After the crown prince was crippled, the news of the imperial court had spread like wildfire throughout the night. Although the reason was not stated in the imperial edict, everyone knew that it was because of the Imperial Consort Li's miscarriage.
