416  The Three Little Ones Captured A Thief (1)

The eunuch in charge, Eunuch Cheng, personally went to the Dali Temple to deliver the Empress Dowager's decree.

The investigation was left to Xiao Zhonghua and the Dali Temple, but Emperor Jingxuan's dragon body still depended on the doctors.

Princess Jingning said in a businesslike manner, "Physician Su, please treat my father."

"Absolutely not!"

Imperial Physician Li stopped him.

Princess Jingning looked at him in disbelief. "Imperial Physician Li, why not?"

Imperial Physician Li said seriously, "His Majesty was poisoned by Physician Su's ointment. Before Physician Su is cleared of suspicion, she should retreat and not approach His Majesty."

The other imperial physicians also agreed with Imperial Physician Li's suggestion.

They could already tell that the Empress Dowager and Princess Jingning were biased towards Su Xiaoxiao. However, this concerned His Majesty's dragon body. If anything really went wrong, the Imperial Hospital could not bear the responsibility.

Not to mention that her treatment had nothing to do with the Imperial Hospital. If she couldn't treat him. In the end, they still had to save him.

They did not want her to be careless and worsen His Majesty's condition. Or if she was really the murderer, she would wait for an opportunity to poison His Majesty again.

Princess Hui An said coquettishly, "That's right! We can't let her treat Father! She will definitely harm Father again! Grandmother! Get someone to arrest her!"

The Empress Dowager said, "She's my physician."

Princess Hui An frowned and said, "But she…"

"Ahem!" Consort Xian tugged at her daughter again, indicating for her to shut up.

The Empress Dowager said with dignity, "The Empress and the imperial physician will stay. Consort Xian, the few of you go back first."

"Yes." Consort Xian led everyone out of the Yongshou Palace.

Princess Hui An complained, "Mother! Why didn't you let me finish!"

Consort Xian tapped her forehead. "Are you stupid? She's your future sister-in-law. If anything happens to her, your third brother will lose his power!"

Princess Hui An muttered, "How can she be my sister-in-law?"

Consort Xian said, "His Majesty has already issued a decree to confer Qin Yanran as your brother's secondary consort and choose a day to enter the Eldest Prince's residence. She's the only daughter of the Qin family left, and her father just won military power a few days ago."

Princess Hui An pursed her lips indignantly. "But she harmed Father…"

Consort Xian said softly, "Eldest Brother is grounded and is not around. Your third brother is the only one in the capital. If anything happens to your father, your third brother will be the emperor!"

Princess Hui An's eyes widened. "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? How can anything happen to Father? He will definitely be safe!"

Consort Xian couldn't be bothered to argue with her daughter and waved her hand perfunctorily. "Yes, yes, yes. He'll be safe! Don't get involved blindly. Don't scold Physician Su whenever you see anyone, and you're not allowed to say that she's the murderer. Whether she's the murderer or not isn't important. If your third brother ascends the throne, his empress must be innocent!"

Princess Hui An muttered, "I don't like her to be my sister-in-law…"

Emperor Jing Xuan was carried back to his bedroom.

The imperial physicians also went.

As the Court commissioner, Hu Jiusheng was naturally among them.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said calmly, "I'll go to the hospital to get some medicine. You guys go over first."

He was not really going to get the medicine, but to get someone to inform Benevolence Hall.

He vaguely felt that things were not simple.

How could it be so coincidental that the emperor consumed the ointment?

Coincidentally, that girl went to the small kitchen to brew medicine for the Empress Dowager.

Could it be that the girl had dug a hole for Benevolence Hall to jump into?

"Master."

The medicine boy poured him a cup of tea.

He quickly wrote a letter. "Deliver it to Second Master personally. You have to be fast!"

"Yes!"

About an hour later, Second Master Hu received Hu Jiusheng's handwritten letter.

After reading it, his expression changed.

Manager Wu hurriedly said, "Boss, what's wrong?"

Second Master Hu said, "Big Brother said… it's a trap!"

Manager Wu was at a loss. "What trap?"

"Look for yourself!"

Second Master Hu handed the letter to Shopkeeper Wu.

Manager Wu glanced at it briefly and said in confusion, "This, this letter doesn't explain it clearly. It only says that there's a trap and wants us to quickly destroy the evidence. The officials will come to investigate later… What does the investigation have to do with our Benevolence Hall? What's going on?"

Second Master Hu said with a serious expression, "Time must be tight and Big Brother wasn't able to write it in time! However, Big Brother must have his reasons for giving such instructions! Hurry up and deal with the evidence!"

The witness was Du Juan, and the physical evidence was powder.

At the critical moment, Second Master Hu's intelligence suddenly went online. "Hide that girl first! Don't let the officials find her! If the officials ask, we'll say that she fled!"
