In Jingwu Courtyard, the Old Imperial Consort was also speaking with Consort Fang.
"After all, she is the Princess Consort's dowry. There's no need to be so ruthless."
Consort Fang, with her neck stiffened, was reluctant, but she had already contradicted the Old Imperial Consort before, so she felt a little embarrassed now.
"Yes, just drive her out so that the slut doesn't stay in the prince's manor."
Yun Zhu interjected, "I heard that the Princess Consort also knows medicine and has some acquaintance with Imperial Physician Lu. Will Imperial Physician Lu, out of respect for the Princess Consort, fake the results?"
The Old Imperial Consort glanced at her, her brow furrowing slightly.
Consort Fang, oblivious, said, "No, Imperial Physician Lu is highly respected and would not do such a thing. You must never say such words again."
"Yes, this servant knows her mistake." Yun Zhu lowered her head respectfully.
The Old Imperial Consort stood up, and Consort Fang escorted her to the door. The Old Imperial Consort glanced at Yun Zhu behind her and said lightly, "The Princess Consort said something right. The servants in your courtyard indeed lack proper etiquette. It's also because you, the mistress, are too kind, allowing some people to be utterly ignorant of their place."
Consort Fang was startled, and only then did she recall that Yun Zhu had interrupted her again just now.
Her face flushed, she mumbled, "Mother, your teachings are correct. Your daughter-in-law will pay attention."
Yun Zhu's face was also red.
The Old Imperial Consort knew that Yun Zhu was Consort Fang's savior, but a savior was a savior, and gratitude was for gratitude. Since she had come to Ding'an Prince's manor to be a servant, she had to abide by the rules of a servant.
After the Old Imperial Consort left, Consort Fang sighed and said, "Yun Zhu, in the future, when others are present, you should not be so casual."
Yun Zhu, with a red face, nodded.
...
Yinzhu applied a cold compress. The next day, although her face was no longer swollen, the marks remained.
Although her matter had not spread widely in the manor, Kangping Yuan and others had heard some rumors.
Wang Qingyao called Imperial Physician Lu to examine Yinzhu again.
It wasn't even three days; after just one night, Yinzhu's pulse had returned to normal.
She had indeed been drugged.
Imperial Physician Lu was extremely surprised.
It wasn't that he was surprised Yinzhu wasn't pregnant, but that Wang Qingyao could so confidently determine Yinzhu wasn't pregnant at a glance and had been drugged.
Once could be luck, but twice or thrice was true skill.
He was utterly impressed with Wang Qingyao, his gaze towards her shining with admiration.
"Your Highness Princess Consort, can you take this old man as your disciple?" Imperial Physician Lu said excitedly.
Xiao Yun: "Imperial Physician Lu, stop causing trouble. Is this the time to say this?"
Imperial Physician Lu: "..."
Since Imperial Physician Lu had diagnosed that Yinzhu's pulse was not that of pregnancy but that she had been framed, he naturally had to go to Jingwu Courtyard to clear Yinzhu's name and restore her innocence.
Thus, calling for Jin Tiao, a group of people majestically set off towards Jingwu Courtyard.
Wang Qingyao then asked Shanhu to invite the Old Imperial Consort.
Upon reaching the entrance of Jingwu Courtyard, they did not enter immediately. They waited for the Old Imperial Consort to arrive before helping her in together.
The Old Imperial Consort, looking at Wang Qingyao's expression, knew that Yinzhu had been wrongly accused and was secretly surprised.
It was actually as the Princess Consort said?
She had originally thought Wang Qingyao was just stalling for time.
It was still in the side hall, and still the same people as yesterday.
Consort Fang, with a stern face, glanced at Yinzhu. "What, you don't need three days? You figured it out in one day? Well, admitting your mistake early is also good for a lighter sentence."
Wang Qingyao smiled. "Mother, why don't you listen to Imperial Physician Lu's diagnosis first?"
As she spoke, she swept a glance at Yun Zhu, her eyes cold and stern.
Yun Zhu involuntarily took a small step back, clenching her fists.
No, it wouldn't happen. The Princess Consort wouldn't know. She hadn't exposed anything in front of the Princess Consort.
Yun Zhu comforted herself.
Imperial Physician Lu bowed and said unhurriedly, "Reporting to the Old Imperial Consort and the Consort, Miss Yinzhu is indeed not pregnant. Yesterday it was a happy pulse, but today it has returned to normal, which shows she was indeed drugged."
He paused and couldn't help but praise Wang Qingyao again. "The Princess Consort is truly amazing. With just a casual glance, she knew Miss Yinzhu was drugged. In my medical career, and in all my years, I have never met such a brilliant doctor..."
Yun Zhu's pupils contracted sharply, her fingers tightening.
Consort Fang stood up in shock. "Truly?"
"Truly."
Consort Fang sank back into her chair, the look of shock on her face lingering. She looked at Wang Qingyao, then at Yinzhu, unsure how to resolve this matter.
Yesterday, she had stated with certainty that Yinzhu was definitely pregnant. After just one night, the situation had changed drastically!
This girl was actually framed and wronged.
Such a thing would happen in their Ding'an Prince's manor?!
Consort Fang was so shocked she couldn't speak.
The Old Imperial Consort asked, "Has it been found out who drugged her?"
Who dared to be so bold? So inhumane?
Wang Qingyao glanced at Yun Zhu. "Jin Tiao, come in."
Jin Tiao walked in and paid his respects to the masters.
Consort Fang then remembered that this Jin Tiao had personally admitted yesterday that the child in Yinzhu's womb was his.
If Yinzhu wasn't pregnant, why would he admit it?
Could it be that these two had an illicit affair, but she hadn't yet conceived, and Jin Tiao, upon hearing of Yinzhu's pregnancy, assumed she was carrying his child?
