Medical Princess

Chapter 1290 Find Out the Truth

Chu Liuyue said in a fair and reasonable way, and even a trace of fault could not be found. Meanwhile, he looked natural and graceful, without any panic because Zhang Qilan was caught.

In this way, Chu Liuyue not only distanced himself from this matter but also pushed Zhang Qilan out.

Chu Liuchen slowly raised his eyelids and took a gloomy look at Chu Liuyue, without a word.

“Okay, then I’ll send someone to investigate the people around Zhang Qilan and take all of them away,” the Emperor said.

“It’s all up to you, Father.” Chu Liuyue nodded without any intention of disobeying. Of course, Chu Liuyue knew about the Changxing Grass, and he did have no idea where Zhang Qilan got the Changxing Grass. Was it given by Prime Minister Zhang? That was also impossible.

Anyway, it was impossible for Prime Minister Zhang to have the Changxing Grass. Even if he had it, he couldn’t have given such an important thing to Zhang Qilan and asked her to murder Shao Wanru.

The ball in the hands of the child was stained with the crumbs of Changxing Grass. Before the child was accidentally pushed out to the front of the startled horse, the servant girl by Zhang Qilan’s side had played the ball a few times with the child. Back then, it was also the child who rolled the ball to Zhang Qilan’s feet. Zhang Qilan particularly picked it up to have a look, and then gave it to her servant girl, asking her to amuse the child a few times.

When the carriage of Prince Chen’s Mansion came over, the servant girl had just gone upstairs. Later, the child was accidentally pushed out by someone, and the ball in his hands hit the horse in front of the carriage. The horse was startled and out of control. It ran wildly with the carriage. Shao Wanru was pulled out of the carriage by her servant girls. The carriage hit the wall and broke into pieces…

Everything pointed to Zhang Qilan, and even when the guards from Prince Chen’s Mansion took immediate action to block that section of the street, Zhang Qilan was about to quietly leave from the back door with her servant girl.

Then the crumbs of Changxing Grass on the ball were found out.

The kind of crumbs had no smell and were tiny. If it had been rolled a few more times, it might have been gone. That was to say, if Chu Liuchen had arrived there a little bit later back then, the matter would have been over just like that. The child would not have been found, the ball would have been gone, and Zhang Qilan would not have been on the scene…

The Emperor did not summon Prime Minister Zhang until Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuchen left. By the time Prime Minister Zhang walked out of the door of the Imperial Study, he was in very low spirits.

The Emperor sent guards to Prince Yue’s Mansion to detain all the people around Zhang Qilan. Instead of taking them out, the guards interrogated those people outside the garden. The screams and the sound of sticks hitting on their bodies could be heard clearly in the room.

In the room, Zhang Qilan sat quietly. She lowered her head and clenched the handkerchief in her hand. The people outside were all her trusted subordinates who had followed her to come into Prince Yue’s Mansion from Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion when she got married.

Hearing the screams, she felt like the sticks hit on her body, tearing her heart. Suddenly, tears were full in her eyes and then rolled down her cheeks.

One drop after another, tears kept sliding down!

Just then, the beaded curtain was lifted, and Chu Liuyue strode in with a gloomy face. He glanced at Zhang Qilan and sat on the chair beside her. “Zhang Qilan, you are so bold that you dare to do such a thing!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Zhang Qilan said without looking up.

“Don’t you think for me or your father?” The veins on Chu Liuyue’s forehead throbbed. No matter how far he tried to distance himself from her, he couldn’t cut off all ties with Zhang Qilan. As everyone knew, Zhang Qilan was his wife.

“Have you thought for me, Your Highness?” Zhang Qilan suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Liuyue excitedly.

“If I haven’t, do you think you can still be sitting here safe and sound? The status of Princess Yue has saved you a lot of punishment,” Chu Liuyue said sarcastically.

“Really? If you think for me, you won’t just give me the position of Princess, but keep an ambiguous relationship with another woman, entangling with her!” Zhang Qilan suddenly screamed emotionally and glared at Chu Liuyue. At this point, she didn’t think too much and no longer cared about what Chu Liuyue thought.

Chu Liuyue was startled by Zhang Qilan’s crazy look, and then a strong disgust appeared on his face. “Even if I am entangled with other women, it’s better than a crazy woman like you.”

“It doesn’t matter if this woman is someone else, but she is your third brother’s wife!” Zhang Qilan shouted with tears falling drop by drop. When her voice faded, she murmured, “She is your sister-in-law!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Chu Liuyue stood up angrily and shouted sternly.

“See, I was right. You feel guilty, aren’t you? Who would have thought that Your Highness Prince Yue has always wanted to marry Princess Chen? Others might not have thought of it, and even Prince Chen didn’t either. If he knows that his wife has an ambiguous relationship with you, will he be crazier than me?” Zhang Qilan cried hard. At present, she had no hope, and she didn’t want to hide her thoughts anymore.

“Zhang Qilan, do you want to die?” Chu Liuyue glared at Zhang Qilan fiercely with a gloomy face, and his eyes flashed with killing intent.

But even so, Zhang Qilan could see clearly, thinking, “He wants to kill me? He wants to kill me!” This realization almost made her collapse in an instant.

“So not only does he care about me, but he also wants to kill me.

“Is it just because I say right about his secret?

“As Princess Yue, how pathetic I am! I am just a decoration placed in this position. What is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Emperor? What is an extremely noble status? As a matter of fact, I am just a decoration.”

“She is your sister-in-law! You… Do you have any ethics?” Zhang Qilan sobbed on the table.

“Nonsense.” Seeing that Zhang Qilan was no longer shouting, Chu Liuyue looked a little better. He sat down again, looked at Zhang Qilan coldly, and said, “You went crazy, but don’t implicate me and your father. Prime Minister Zhang was reprimanded by my father, and he just came out of the Palace.”

“Chu Liuyue, do you … do you really like her?” Zhang Qilan continued to ask as if she didn’t hear what Chu Liuyue had said.

“I have an innocent relationship with any woman…”

“Innocent? Then why did you go to plead with Her Highness the Empress to allow you to marry her back then? Later, she got married, and a large number of women, who looked similar to her, entered the mansion. Some of them had similar eyes to hers, some had a similar shape of mouth to hers, and some had a similar back to hers. Your Highness, I am your wife. As Princess Yue, I can’t bear it.”

Zhang Qilan had seen everything with her own eyes and confirmed it again and again. Every new concubine looked a little like Shao Wanru. That was why they were favored by Prince Yue, while she was the one who was out of favor.

Zhang Qilan choked with sobs.

Chu Liuyue looked very cold, and his gloomy eyes fell on Zhang Qilan. After a long while, he said, “So that’s why you wanted to murder her?”

“Except for this, I have no other reasons to deal with her!” Zhang Qilan cried. There seemed to be a scene appearing in her sight. Back then, they were besties and close to each other. Usually, they pulled Luo Xiaowan to hang out. Zhang Qilan didn’t know when she began to look at Shao Wanru with disgust in her eyes.

Was it when she was confirmed to be Princess Yue? It didn’t seem to be. There should still be some time…

Since when were there only those who spoke ill of Shao Wanru around her? Zhang Qilan didn’t know. She only remembered that everyone around her seemed to be talking about Chu Liuyue and Shao Wanru. Each matter found out showed that Chu Liuyue had an ambiguous relationship with Shao Wanru. Zhang Qilan couldn’t bear it, and she really couldn’t bear it anymore.

“You’re crazy. Only with these reasons, you think that she and I…” Chu Liuyue said, “Even if I have any thoughts about her, she and I have nothing to each other. You have a vicious heart, and you murdered people because of jealousy. However, you take such an excuse to make stories. You’re really stupid. You don’t even realize that you’ve fallen into the trap set by Infanta Yuan’an.”

“You… Do you have a crush on her?” Zhang Qilan looked up and asked in a trembling voice. This was the most important sentence she had heard.

“Yes, I have some thoughts about her, but what does it have to do with her? She doesn’t know anything. You did such a thing just because I have a little crush on her. Zhang Qilan, if I hadn’t married a vicious woman like you back then, I wouldn’t have been implicated by you now.”

Chu Liuyue said with his cold gaze falling on her, “If you succeed this time, at least no one will find out about you. But you did it and let others find out about it. You deserve it. The position of Princess Yue can only be left to a virtuous woman. You don’t deserve it! If you wish to survive, you need to make it clear how Infanta Yuan’an deceived you. Don’t get your father and I involved in this matter.”

After saying that, Chu Liuyue turned around and left. He came here to warn Zhang Qilan not to get him involved in this matter. Chu Liuzhou had an accident, and now it was his chance to make a big name for himself. If it was frustrated because of Zhang Qilan, Chu Liuyue would not spare Zhang Qilan even if she died.

The curtain fell heavily, and the bead strings flew in all directions, reflecting bits of crystal light. In the end, the beads slipped down one by one, and then all connected together, which was very beautiful. Looking at the beaded shadows in a daze, Zhang Qilan suddenly laughed.

She laughed so crazily that she bent over and almost be ill-mannered with her hands on her belly.

She laughed so hard that her tears could not stop streaming down.

Why did she firmly believe that Shao Wanru had an affair with Chu Liuyue like crazy? How could Chu Liuyue have an affair? What he cared about most was himself. He could fall in love with a woman secretly. However, once this woman stood in his way, he would not hesitate to kill her to clear the way for himself.

She was wrong. She was totally wrong!

In fact, it was not only because Infanta Yuan’an had misled her, but also because of her own idea. If she hadn’t thought so, she wouldn’t have thought that Infanta Yuan’an’s words were right, and she wouldn’t have been crazily trying to kill Shao Wanru so that Shao Wanru could never compete with her for Chu Liuyue.

But why would Shao Wanru fight over it?

Apparently, Shao Wanru had a better Prince Chen. On that day, Prince Chen knelt in the dust and held Shao Wanru tightly in his arms. This scene appeared in Zhang Qilan’s mind again. Such a noble and elegant man was so panicked like a lost child, and later, his despair was gloomy and terrifying. If Shao Wanru died, Zhang Qilan knew that she would have no chance to survive at that moment.

Back then, Zhang Qilan was already scared and regretful. And now, she saw it clearly, and she was desperate. Her body slid down heavily…
