Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Consort Xiang had just regained consciousness, and her body was still weak. Su Yingxue administered acupuncture to help stabilize her condition, waiting for her to gradually regain strength and open her eyes.
Consort Xiang, who had previously lost consciousness, opened her eyes and saw Su Yingxue by her bedside. She anxiously grabbed her hand and said, “Genius Doctor, did you also die? Is it because of me? I’m sorry…”
“Your Majesty, I am not dead. You have also awakened,” Su Yingxue spoke in a gentle tone.
“What? I’m not dead? But I felt so much pain, unable to breathe, and kept spitting blood…” Consort Xiang touched the corners of her mouth, where bloodstains were still present. “Look, I’ve vomited so much blood, yet I can still talk to you?”
Realizing something was amiss, Consort Xiang touched herself and then Su Yingxuc’s hand. She exclaimed in joy, “Could it be… I’ve come back to life?!”
Su Yingxue made a quiet gesture, “Your Majesty, indeed, you were killed, but now you are alive.”
Consort Xiang shook her head in disbelief. How could someone who had died come back to life?
Could the genius doctor in front of her be a deity descended to the mortal realm?
Not only could she detoxify her, but she could also bring her back from the dead?
“Your Majesty, the emperor is still waiting outside, but I have an important question that requires a clear answer from Your Majesty,” Su Yingxue’s tone was earnest. Even though Consort Xiang’s face was not visible, Su Yingxue could sense the seriousness in her eyes.
Consort Xiang tightly clenched her sleeves. “Are you asking why I died? At first, I heard that you were in trouble outside the palace, so I begged the emperor to bring you into the palace, hoping that he would protect you. But when I drank the medicine brought by Xiang Ling, I immediately felt indescribable pain in my organs, then I vomited blood and lost consciousness.”
“I didn’t encounter any trouble. Someone had long planned this. They poisoned you and framed me, killing two birds with one stone!” Su Yingxue’s mind quickly turned, and she deduced that the mastermind behind this was the empress!
She had Chu Chengye under her control, so she directly killed Consort Xiang, making the emperor personally execute her!
Consort Xiang’s arm trembled. “I didn’t expect that even Xiang Ling would betray me!”
“It might not be Xiang Ling. The empress had just encountered an accident, and she hastily executed everyone in your palace. Don’t you think something is suspicious about it?” Su Yingxue hoped that Chu Yihan would bring back good news.
Consort Xiang took a deep breath as numerous scenes flashed through her mind, fueling deep-seated anger.
The empress! No matter how much she tried to compromise, the empress would never spare her!
She had even risked her own life!
To be able to come back to life, it was all thanks to the genius doctor by her side. She resented it! She would never take another step back!
“Xiang’er? Xiang’er, are you awake?” Chu Mingyuan’s excited voice came from outside the curtain.
Consort Xiang steadied her mind and forced herself to suppress the hatred within her heart.
Su Yingxue invited Chu Mingyuan inside. When Chu Mingyuan saw Consort Xiang sitting on the bed, he could hardly believe his eyes.
He immediately rushed forward and embraced Consort Xiang tightly. Tears of joy welled up in Consort Xiang’s eyes as she said, “Emperor, it was so close. Xiang’er can still be by your side…”
“Xiang’er! You’re truly alive!” Chu Mingyuan’s eyes were slightly red, unable to contain his excitement.
Su Yingxue silently stood by the side and saw the empress enter, her expression initially fierce.
But upon seeing Consort Xiang’s eyes open, she was frightened, her face turning pale.. “Ah! It’s a ghost! A ghost! How are you still alive?!”
