To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C135
“Thank you Third Prince!” Shi Anran secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He did not expect Li Mu to suddenly change his mind.
After walking for a long distance, Shi Anran shook her head and muttered: “What exactly am I looking forward to?”
Shi Anran thought about it for a while. She wanted to go and see Liu Yue, but she didn’t know if she was doing well in prison, or if those people had tortured her. Those people were all snobbish. They only accepted tokens and silver, rights and money, she had nothing.
She didn’t know when it started, but Shi Anran felt that after obtaining a strong identity, she wouldn’t become a thorn in the side of others. Only by doing this would she be able to find the motivation to continue walking forward.
Initially, he thought it would be difficult to investigate this matter in the palace, but on the second day, Li Mu sent him news. When Shi Anran saw the contents of the letter, he was immediately overjoyed. Now that all the accusations were pointed at the hospital, did that mean that Liu Yue had gotten rid of his suspicions?
Shi Anran held onto the piece of paper tightly and immediately decided to report it to the emperor. However, before she even stepped out of the room, she calmed down. It could only be said that the Imperial Hospital was related to this matter. They hadn’t found out the specific details yet, but all the Emperor wanted was a result. Who was the innocent one, the Emperor didn’t care at all.
Did Imperial Physician Zhou make it? But he is just a small imperial physician, how can he have the guts to harm the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, and then frame me? However … Even if it wasn’t done by Doctor Zhou, it had to be related to him. Even if he had only been involved a single step, it would have been easy to investigate!
It seemed like she could only take the risk and argue with Doctor Zhou. She had to find out who was the mastermind behind all of this!
“Aunt, Third Prince invites you over.” Yi Yue knocked on the door, and said while standing outside.
Shi Anran stood up with a “whoa”. Could it be that Li Mu had found a new clue?
Shi Anran hurried to the location Li Mu mentioned, but when she entered the hall she was shocked by the scene in front of him, and then felt satisfied.
Looking at the man who was controlled on the chair without saying a word, Shi Anran said slowly: “Doctor Zhou, I said it before, I am grateful that you helped me hide it and saved me. Therefore, this time, I have decided to give you a chance. As long as you tell me who ordered you to blame me, I can keep you alive. ”
“This subject doesn’t understand what aunt is saying!” When the time came for him to leave, Doctor Zhou did not forget to be stubborn.
“Don’t you understand?” Shi Anran raised her eyebrows, then slowly opened her mouth and said: “Then I’ll be clear. I don’t need you to do anything as long as you stand out and point out that Liu Yue is not the culprit, then tell me the truth. At that time, the Emperor will also know that you are not the main culprit. If I plead on your behalf, you might even have a life to live. ”
Shi Anran slowly said. As long as he stood out and accused the Emperor, maybe the emperor would release Liu Yue first, and Liu Yue would also be able to bear a bit less hardship. At that time, it would not be too late to find out who the mastermind was.
However, looking at the resolute look on Doctor Zhou’s face, it was clear that he would not do so.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Li Mu sat in front of the table, his slender fingers holding onto the small teacup, looking at his relaxed appearance, as though the scene in front of his was no longer present. Shi Anran didn’t know how to respond to someone who was able to stealthily drink tea in this kind of situation. After opening her mouth wide, she was still unable to speak properly, but now it was really too difficult to get the Third Prince to help him.
Since he could not ask him, Shi Anran had to think of a way herself. Looking at Doctor Zhou’s silent appearance, Shi Anran pursed her lips and said faintly: “Doctor Zhou had saved me before, and now I can only see if you are willing to or not! If you don’t want to … I also have a hundred ways to make you unhappy! ”
“There’s no need to say anymore. If you want to kill me, kill me!”
Shi Anran laughed, she looked at the man in the seat mockingly, then poured a cup of hot tea and passed it to him. She then said softly: “Does Imperial Physician Zhou know what is the weakness of human nature?” As she said that, seeing that he was still unmoved, Shi Anran immediately laughed: “Now is the critical moment, I will not beat around the bush with Imperial Physician Zhou. If Imperial Physician Zhou does not even have the courage to personally admit it, then I will not hold back, it’s just that…”
“But what?” Doctor Zhou was worried. He frowned slightly. Even his usual calmness was tinged with anxiousness.
After Shi Anran saw the changes in his eyes, her lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
Shi Anran muttered to herself for a while before opening her lips: “However, I am actually very curious to know what benefits Imperial Physician Zhou obtained from Imperial Noble Consort Lan, could it be that Imperial Noble Consort Lan allowed you to poison him and then purposefully ate the poisonous medicinal food, in the end you came to cure her of the poison again, right? Say, if I were to tell the Emperor so, would the Emperor believe me? “Imperial Noble Consort Lan and I had always looked down on each other, and always wanted to harm me. It’s not like the Emperor didn’t know about this …”
In reality, this was just a method for Shi Anran to get him to tell the truth. How could a small imperial physician think of committing a crime against the emperor, to exterminate the nine families, wasn’t Shi Anran afraid? Although Imperial Noble Consort Lan was a person who disgusted others, even she did not dare to use this kind of method to harm him.
“Shut up!” Doctor Zhou shouted coldly. He stood up and was about to rush towards her.
Li Mu’s hands were nimble, he raised his hand and grabbed onto his wrist, a pair of deep eyes contained a hint of coldness, his eyes were squinted slightly, revealing an endless amount of danger, his lips were pursed tightly, but he did not say a single word, giving off a strong sense of oppression, after that he spoke out slowly with a cold and emotionless voice: “You have two choices, the first is to honestly tell me who the mastermind is, and the second is to use a method to force you to say it, to first weigh the light and the light!”
It had to be said that Third Prince truly had a domineering aura to him. It was just that his usual camouflage made him feel extremely depressed, and he was unable to differentiate which one of them was the real him.
Shi Anran’s lips opened slightly, and said lightly: “Doctor Zhou is a wise man, this matter, from top to bottom, is just a death sentence, but it depends on whether Doctor Zhou wants to implicate others.”
“Heh …” With a sneer, Doctor Zhou raised his chin and looked her straight in the eye. There was no fear in his eyes, “Do you want to use this method to force me to submit? “Then you are completely wrong!”
