Chapter 629: This Subordinate Has Something Very Important to Report
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue’s slap landed on Imperial Physician Qin’s face, causing him to fall to the ground. He kept begging for mercy. “I was wrong. I was forced to do so!”
Gu Qingxue was expressionless. She gave Imperial Physician Qin a few more slaps until his face was swollen and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
Even so, Gu Qingxue still could not vent her anger.
“Liu Yi, Ji Yan, arrest him.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she took out a blood-red medicine bottle.
When Imperial Physician Qin saw the blood-red medicine bottle, an extremely bad premonition rose in his heart and he struggled to leave.
Liu Yi restrained Imperial Physician Qin’s hands with one hand while Ji Yan held Imperial physician Qin’s chin, forcing Imperial Physician Qin to open his mouth.
Gu Qingxue looked indifferently at Imperial Physician Qin’s pained struggle. She opened the bottle and poured the medicine into Imperial physician Qin’s mouth.
Imperial Physician Qin’s body writhed on the ground in pain. Rong Zhan took in this scene and asked, “Qingxue, what did you give him to drink?”
“It’s a poison that can make people wish they were dead. Imperial Physician Qin, don’t worry, I won’t kill you. However, I want you to feel the pain every day and night,” Gu Qingxue said coldly.
Imperial Physician Qin’s body felt a sharp pain and he kept twisting his body. He squeezed out a groan from his throat, “Help! It, it hurts!”
Every joint in his body was in excruciating pain as if he had been bitten by a bug. Large beads of sweat seeped out of Imperial Physician Qin’s forehead and even the gaps between his fingers were filled with sharp pain, almost driving him crazy.
No one present pitied Imperial Physician Qin, and Liu Yi quickly dragged the begging Imperial Physician Qin away forcefully.
“When does Your Royal Highness plan to bring Imperial Physician Qin into the palace?” Gu Qingxue retracted her gaze and asked in a soft voice.
“We’ll leave immediately. When the emperor comes to court, you can meet the emperor. Do you want to come with me?” Rong Zhan asked as he looked at Gu Qingxue deeply.
Gu Qingxue nodded, her eyes filled with unconcealable sadness. “This matter is inextricably linked to the Gu family, so I naturally have to personally enter the palace to report to His Majesty. However, Imperial Physician Qin’s words are empty and we don’t know if His Majesty will believe our words.”
Imperial Physician Qin could only be considered a witness at most. His words would indeed make Rong Xiaotian suspect Noble Consort Xian and Prince Heng. However, these two people were not to be trifled with. It was not that easy to completely bring them down.
Rong Zhan was not worried. He said indifferently, “Even without Imperial Physician Oin, there are still people who have served Noble Consort Xian for many years. Prince Heng also has many trusted aides. As long as there’s an excuse that can anger him and capture his trusted subordinates, wouldn’t it be easy to find out the truth?”
Gu Qingxue was relieved. She looked in Rong Zhan’s direction and saw that he was calm and not worried at all. It was not hard to guess that he must have prepared a backup plan.
“I’m relieved to hear Your Royal Highness say this.” Gu Qingxue went up and sobbed to comfort the weak Madam Zou before arranging for Madam Zou to sleep. Then, she saw one of Rong Zhan’s secret guards walk in with a cold expression.
“Your Royal Highness, this subordinate has a very important matter to report.”
The secret guard was halfway through his sentence when he looked in Gu Qingxue’s direction. He seemed to have something to say, but the words were stuck in his throat..
