The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 858 - 856: Mu Fei’s Trick
Chapter 858: Chapter 856: Mu Fei’s Trick
Mu Fei maintained his unhurried composure as he stood up and sighed softly, “The Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty, misrecognizing their own flesh and blood, now even attempting to wrongly slay their own kin. If this were to spread, who knows how the people of the world would ridicule us! Heh—”
His light chuckle echoed throughout the hall, laden with sarcasm.
Su Yingxue’s eyes narrowed slightly as she rose to her feet, “Are you implying that I am an impostor?”
“Indeed, Your Highness the Ninth Princess Consort knows the truth in her heart. Now that you have a prestigious status, why bother coming to Great Wei to stir up trouble? The true bloodline of the Eldest Princess is to be pitied,” Mu Fei said, his eyes full of pity as they rested on Shen Yu.
Shen Yu immediately put on a fragile appearance and began to cry behind her hands.
“Mu Fei, what conspiracy are you hiding?” From the moment Su Yingxue first saw Mu Fei, she felt that he was bizarre beyond belief.
But his bewitching and seductive eyes were impenetrable, their meaning elusive.
“I am but a commoner; what schemes could I possibly harbor? I have only been paid in silver to fulfill a deal from start to finish. Your Highness the Ninth Princess Consort, do you claim your identity as the daughter of the Eldest Princess based solely on your face?” Mu Fei’s lips curved into a mocking smile.
Chu Yihan’s expression grew icy, and his presence became imposing, “You are courting death?”
How dare he question his wife.
“Your Highness need not rage, this matter has not yet involved you! Your own objectives are still unknown,” said Mu Fei, his statement and smile at the corners of his mouth putting Qin Rulie on guard.
Although Chu Yihan was his brother-in-law, and surely a good man,
he was also the Ninth Prince of the Great Cheng Dynasty, a powerful man with influence over the court and country, his ambition unfathomable.
If he harbored any designs on Great Wei…
“Imperial Brother, do not believe the ravings of this lunatic! I will kill him right now!” Qin Muyan drew his flaming blade, ready to strike Mu Fei.
“Wait! Let him continue, I want to see what nonsensical case this man can make! Yingxue looks exactly like my Zheng Er; in this whole wide world, how could such a resemblance exist if not for a mother-daughter relationship?”
The Empress Dowager gripped Su Yingxue’s hand tightly, her heart set on exposing Mu Fei’s lies.
But Mu Fei laughed and took something out of his bosom, “Faces can be coincidental, but the heirloom of the Eldest Princess, surely there cannot be another coincidence like this in the whole world, can there?”
“An heirloom?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, watching as Mu Fei produced the jade pendant.
It was a half-piece, gleaming with a phosphorescent light.
A blue phosphorescent light.
She had never seen it before.
“This jade pendant…”
The Empress Dowager’s heart skipped a beat, “Bring it here, let me have a look at it!”
Without delay, the nurse maid fetched the jade pendant and presented it to the Empress Dowager.
She covered her mouth, tears spilling silently as she said, “This jade pendant… is the one I gave to Zheng Er! It belonged to the former Emperor!”
Overcome by emotion, she fainted.
“Empress Dowager!”
“Grandmother!”
The nurse maid and Su Yingxue supported the Empress Dowager together.
Su Yingxue instructed the nurse maid, “Remove her shoes and socks, and make her comfortable.”
Seeing the assurance in Su Yingxue’s demeanor, the nurse maid expressed surprise, “Do you possess medical knowledge?”
Su Yingxue nodded, and the nurse maid immediately complied.
Su Yingxue applied two needles to the Empress Dowager’s feet, let a bit of blood, and after regulating her breathing, she slowly regained consciousness.
Qin Rulie and Qin Muyan hurried over, “Imperial Grandmother, please don’t be agitated, you must take care of yourself!”
With red-rimmed eyes, the Empress Dowager grasped Qin Rulie’s hand, “Yan’er was but a child then, but you, Rulie, must remember, this jade pendant… it was given to me by the former Emperor, and from me to Zheng Er.”
