"It's getting late, let's go back. I still want to sleep for a while." After hearing their opinions, Ah Man was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and waved her hand to let them leave.
Naturally, no one dared to disturb Princess Jiaoyang's sweet dreams, and they all hurried to leave. Only Qu Jingze waved his hand to signal the people outside to come in after everyone left.
"Princess, let the doctor take a look at you."
Ah Man looked at Qu Jingze and actually saw some concern in his eyes. He came with a doctor and was genuinely concerned about her health, unlike those who had left before.
"I'm really fine, don't worry, Lord Qu." When running out of the fire, Murong Kai protected her very well, and not even the sparks burned her at all. Besides, Ah Man would not let herself be wronged. If she was really injured, she would have started shouting.
"Let's take a look. Even if you are not injured, let the doctor prescribe some calming medicine for you." Looking at Ah Man's resistant face, Qu Jingze's eyes were filled with a bit more doting.
"I don't want to drink that medicine. Leave quickly, quickly." After hearing Qu Jingze's words, Ah Man stood up like a hair whose tail was stepped on, shouting for the doctor to leave.
Qu Jingze looked at his princess's angry expression and suddenly remembered the previous rumors that Princess Jiaoyang A'man was most afraid of taking medicine.
"Okay, okay, I'll let the doctor leave right away."
Seeing Ah Man full of energy, Qu Jingze finally felt relieved. He raised his hand and signaled the doctor to leave. As soon as the doctor left, he saw Princess Jiaoyang heaving a sigh of relief.
Qu Jingze looked at Ah Man and couldn't hold back any longer, so he laughed out loud.
"Master Qu, you stayed here just to make fun of me?" Ah Man felt a little embarrassed when she was seen getting angry, but she pretended to be angry, not realizing that she was acting more like a child.
Qu Jingze smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "I stayed to ask who is the mastermind behind this."
Seeing that Qu Jingze no longer forced himself to be examined by the doctor, Ah Man felt relieved, but he did not say anything, just stared at Qu Jingze.
Qu Jingze lowered his head and waited for Ah Man's answer, but he didn't hear any sound. Suddenly, a surge of uneasiness arose in his heart. In his mind, the shadow of a person became clearer and clearer, so clear that he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Is it... her?" Qu Jingze asked tentatively, still hoping in his heart that it wouldn't be her.
"Who is the "she" that Lord Qu is talking about?" Ah Man had already expected that Qu Jingze had guessed it, so she did not answer but asked back.
Qu Jingze looked up at Ah Man and saw that her eyes were burning and her face was still flushed.
"No matter who it is, I will seek justice for the princess even at the cost of my life." Qu Jingze spoke righteously. His original panic was replaced by confidence when he spoke.
"Since I came to the Great Zhou, the only person I have offended who can harm my life is her." Ah Man was satisfied with Qu Jingze's answer. She couldn't take Concubine Dong's life all at once, but it was necessary to make her suffer first.
"What does the princess need from me?"
Although Ah Man did not say what to do next, Qu Jingze inexplicably felt that she had already made up her mind and he only needed to follow her orders.
"Bring the evidence to the Emperor of Great Zhou and ask her to give us Bei'an an explanation."
"But I have no evidence." Qu Jingze's face turned bitter when he thought of everything that was burned to ashes.
"I will give you the evidence before you enter the palace. That thing is Concubine Dong's personal belonging."
After hearing this, Qu Jingze finally felt relieved.
"Then how far should I go?" Qu Jingze continued to ask. Concubine Dong was deeply favored by the emperor, and it was unknown to what extent the Emperor of the Great Zhou would protect her. He had to know the result that the princess expected before he could decide what means he would use.
