To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C132

Shi Anran nodded and looked sideways as she looked at Third Prince, “The medicinal food for Your Majesty was prepared by my own hands. It has been so long and there were no problems, yet something like this happened that day. Third Prince must have some connections in the palace, would it be possible to investigate it in secret? ”

“It’s not impossible …” Saying that, Li Mu glanced at her thoughtfully.

Shi Anran said seriously: “As long as Third Prince is willing to help me this time, Anran will definitely remember this favor.”

After hearing that, Li Mu’s eyes were filled with satisfaction, he nodded his head and said: “Alright, I’ll help you!”

“I’m worried that something might happen to Liu Yue inside. Is there any way to make her leave this place?” Shi Anran waited for his reply with shining eyes.

Li Mu squinted, then chuckled: “Anran, you are so smart, why have you not thought, that it would be the safest for her to leave the prison? The one who was poisoned was the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, so how could he let her off so easily with his personality? Even if she knew that it wasn’t you who poisoned her, she would still find a chance to shock you. Under such circumstances, are you still thinking of saving her? ”

Shi Anran closed her eyes in frustration. The throbbing pain in her lower abdomen still continued, and with her brows tightly knitted, she sucked in a breath of cold air. After that, she tried to calm down as much as possible, “Third Prince is right.

Liu Yue held her hand and said with determination: “Miss, do not worry about this servant. There are people in the palace who want to use methods against you.

If it wasn’t Li Ruolan, Shi Anran really couldn’t think of who it would be.

She was silent all the way out of the prison. It seemed as if she was in pain. Li Mu asked again: “Your complexion isn’t good. Is your body sick?”

It was truly a rare occasion that Third Prince would still care about someone else. Regardless of whether it was from the bottom of his heart or not, Shi Anran smiled faintly and said, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Third Prince.”

“I will be at the palace for the next few days. If there is anything, you can come find me. Don’t act alone, otherwise, if something happens, even I won’t be able to protect you.” Li Mu said seriously.

He said he couldn’t protect herself? Shi Anran raised her eyes and looked at Third Prince’s eyes. Last time when Li Ruolan hit him on the head, did he open his mouth to say something? With Xiu Er’s death, when did he ever discuss this with him?

Her gaze made Li Mu feel extremely uncomfortable, and after taking a quick glance, he shifted his gaze away: “Alright, you can go back now!”

After separating with the Third Prince, Shi Anran went straight to the Grand Hospital, intending to grab some medicine to relieve her abdominal pain.

Today was exactly the day that Zhou Imperial Physician was on duty, so when Shi Anran saw him, she bowed and said: “The matter that Imperial Physician Zhou hid for Anran previously, Anran will forever be grateful to him!”

Hearing that, Doctor Zhou looked at her seriously. “How do you know?”

“Imperial Physician Zhou’s medical skills are famous in the palace, Anran had long heard of him.” How could such a skilled doctor not know that she was feigning illness? It’s just that, at that time in front of the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, why did he help me hide it, and even purposely say that?

“You don’t have to thank me. I’m just speaking the truth!” At that time, Shi Anran was indeed in a critical condition. Any royal physician would have come to treat him with the same result, but he was still able to see through this. At that time, he only felt that if an ordinary girl could think of these methods to protect him, she wouldn’t be able to expose him.

Shi Anran had always been a person who distinguished between gratitude and grievances. That day, Imperial Physician Zhou had saved his life once, and in the future, he would do his best to help the other person if he could. After asking for some medicine, she continued to ask: “Anran would like to ask Imperial Physician Zhou about something.”

“You want to ask what poison is in Imperial Noble Consort Lan?”

“That’s right, the medicinal food is from Anran, if there really is poison, Anran would be able to smell it.” Shi Anran’s sense of smell had always been sensitive, if there was poison inside, he would have discovered it long ago.

Doctor Zhou found the prescription from that day and said lightly: “In my opinion, it is just an ordinary poison.”

“Didn’t Imperial Physician Zhou leave that day?” Shi Anran asked.

“If he didn’t stay, perhaps he would have already been poured over by the palace maids. If he didn’t, he would have been able to find out what kind of poison it was. Just based on the blood that was poisoned by the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, it would be impossible to find out.” As he spoke, he looked up at the confused man.

Shi Anran nodded her head, and smiled: “No matter what, Anran will still thank Doctor Zhou today. There will not be much point in staying here today.”

“Bye!” Doctor Zhou watched her leave before retracting his gaze. It was as if he had let out a sigh of relief.

On the second day, Shi Anran went to look for Third Prince immediately after arriving at the imperial court. On the way, she met Imperial Noble Consort Lan whose complexion had not changed at all.

When Li Ruolan thought about how her own child was almost gone, she could not conceal the anger in her heart. She walked towards Shi Anran with large strides, and without even asking, she raised his palm to greet Shi Anran’s face. Shi Anran knew that she could not avoid it this time, and was waiting for the pain to strike him.

Half a day later, he opened his eyes, only to see Xiang Rongcheng grabbing onto Imperial Noble Consort Lan’s slender wrist with one hand, and coldly speaking: “Imperial Noble Consort Lan, do you want to beat me up?”

When she thought about how her own sister had been beaten up by Xiang Rongcheng to such a state, Li Ruolan could not help but feel annoyed. She said with a smile that did not reach her eyes, “Isn’t the young general being too nosy?

“Imperial Noble Consort Lan can teach anyone a lesson, but not sher!” Xiang Rongcheng flung away her hand, and after his gaze clearly and coldly swept over the dumbstruck Shi Anran, he said in a low voice: “Huhuhu, what are you doing? Why aren’t you leaving?”

Shi Anran lifted her eyes, and after looking at him gratefully for a moment, she headed towards the Third Prince’s palace. It was as if every time something bad happened to her, he would appear in time. However, Shi Anran didn’t know how he would return the favor in the future …

At this time, the Third Prince was about to come out as well, but just happened to meet Shi Anran. Seeing her in a hurry, he frowned and asked: “Did something happen?”

“Third Prince, let’s go out of the palace!” Shi Anran simply could not leave the place. Now, she could only come to him to seek help.

Very quickly, Li Mu knew what she wanted to do. In a clinic outside the palace, after the doctor had confirmed several times, he said: “This is called poison, this type of poison has already become a forbidden pill, where did you get it from?”

Li Mu said unhappily: “You just need to tell me the origin of this poison.”

The doctor saw that the man beside Shi Anran was having a difficult time speaking, so he continued, “The poison was released from the palace a hundred years ago, and because it was extremely toxic, it became a forbidden pill, and no one used it anymore.”

“It came from the palace …” Shi Anran muttered, as though she had thought of something, and it did not appear on her face.

After leaving the infirmary, Shi Anran went to a few more infirmary to inquire about the matter. The results were all the same.

In the afternoon, the two of them sat in the Bright Moon Restaurant, where they used to eat. Third Prince poured a cup of tea and drank it.

“All the doctors know what poison it is, but the imperial doctors don’t know, don’t the Third Prince feel that there’s something strange about this?”
