Chapter 761: She Was Played by Her Son
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing Qin Yun mention the crown prince to her, she realized that this crown prince, who had always been unknown, was definitely not a good person. He had been holding back for so many years, which showed how deep his thoughts were.
Moreover, the empress had always been very decisive in handling the harem matters for so many years, but she was still able to be played around by her son. This was enough to explain the problem.
“Don’t flatter me with such nice words. You’re so curious about the thirteenth princess, so are you trying to ask me for a favor?” Judge Wu’ s words was filled with disdain, but there was not a single trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Gu Qingxue’s smile was gentle as she said softly, “As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Since this matter involves me, I have to find a way to investigate the truth. As long as the thirteenth princess can personally say that this matter has nothing to do with me, my injustice will naturally be washed away.”
Judge Wu nodded, “Actually, I’m still curious about something. Although the princess had fallen off the horse and injured her head, it shouldn’t have caused her to be unconscious and not wake up for so long. I think that there’s something fishy about this matter, so it’s naturally best if you can go and take a look.”
BoxNovel.com“Then when can you bring me there?” Gu Qingxue did not want to get into trouble, so she looked at Judge Wu urgently and asked.
Judge Wu chuckled, “We can do it now, follow me.”
Gu Qingxue followed Judge Wu. She first changed into a set of eunuch’s clothes before following him out of the imperial hospital. On the way, she carried the medicine box and lowered her head as they headed in the direction of Fengling Palace.
On the way, Judge Wu explained the current situation to Gu Qingxue in detail.
The thirteenth princess had suddenly fallen ill, so the emperor and the empress dowager had been merciful and finally agreed to unground her. They allowed her to stay by the empress’ side and recuperate in Fengling Palace.
The thirteenth princess had been doted on by the empress since she was a child. When the empress took care of the thirteenth princess, she would do everything herself.
“After I enter, I will think of a way to send the empress out. After the empress leaves, you can raise your head.” As Judge Wu spoke, he turned his head and saw Gu Qingxue’s ordinary-looking face. He could not help but exclaim, ‘You actually know how to change your appearance? Why have I never heard you mention it before?”
When Gu Qingxue had gone to change her clothes, she had used some time to change her appearance. After she had changed her appearance and clothes, she looked like a completely different person, and Judge Wu could not recognize her for a while.
“I used to travel around, and it was inevitable that I would encounter some trouble. Besides, my master told me that it’s not a burden to have more skills.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she had already arrived at the Fengling Palace with Judge Wu.
The two of them tacitly shut their mouths and did not say anything more.
They walked all the way to the outside of the Fengling Palace and stood still.
The old maidservant who was guarding Fengling Palace went in to report the news. After receiving permission, Judge Wu led Gu Qingxue through the main gate of Fengling Palace and headed straight to the back hall.
Gu Qingxue followed Judge Wu into the rear hall and immediately saw the empress sitting by the bed, wiping her tears.
Lying on the bed was the unconscious thirteenth princess. Her small face was pale, and her head was wrapped in thick gauze. She looked particularly pale and weak.
Seeing that the empress was still sad, Nanny Rui reminded her, “Your Majesty, Judge Wu has arrived..”
