Rouyao stared at her in a daze, muttering, "Is it so serious? I thought people like her would never die."
Zi'an said, "It's rare that you still care about her. If you want, go and see her. I dare not say that she can survive. In fact, her will to live is not that strong."
"She doesn't have a strong will to live? How could that be?" Rouyao didn't believe it at all. "She did so many bad things, didn't she just want to live a good life and make a name for herself?"
"Perhaps it's because she has been depressed since she left the Sun family, and Prince Nan Huai didn't treat her well."
"She deserves it. She didn't cherish her own family and went to rely on those villains with evil ambitions. Doesn't she deserve it? If mother hadn't known that she was injured and asked me to come in to see her, I wouldn't have come." Rouyao said angrily, but her eyes became even redder.
"Mrs. Sun is such a kind-hearted person. Even though he was blinded by her, he still misses her." Zhuangzhuang sighed.
Rouyao finally couldn't hold back her tears. "Mother said she wasn't like this before, but was taught badly by her master. Mother always remembers her good points and doesn't remember her bad points. I'm not that easy to bully. I won't go to see her. Let her die. Anyway, she's not a member of the Sun family anymore."
Zi'an held her hand and said, "Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Don't force yourself."
Rouyao hummed, sat down and remained silent for a long time. She said, "My mother asked me to see her, so I went to see her. I just want to take a look. I don't care whether she lives or dies."
Zhuangzhuang knew that she had a mixture of love and hate in her heart, and this kind of emotion made people uncomfortable, "Zi'an, take her with you."
"Yeah!" Zi'an replied.
She took Rouyao over there. Xiaosun had just come out with some water when Zian asked, "Are you awake?"
"No, the imperial physician is still inside."
"Will you fetch her some water to wash her face?"
"Yes, I fetched a basin of hot water and wiped her face and warmed her hands."
"Okay, go ahead." Zi'an sent Xiaosun away.
Rouyao said sarcastically, "Even a bad person like her has people who pity her. Zi'an, I don't know whether to say you are stupid or confused."
Zi'an smiled and said, "When I face patients, I am a doctor. I have no other stance. Xiaosun is someone close to me, just like me. When I am not a doctor but an opponent, you will see that I am neither stupid nor confused."
Rouyao said nothing and went in quietly.
Seeing the lifeless face on the bed, her tears began to fall. She wiped them vigorously and explained, "I'm not sad at all. I no longer have feelings for her. We sisters have stopped communicating for a long time. I just don't know why, but I can't hold back my tears when I see her like this."
Zi'an understood. Just like in modern times, she had never seen her father, but knew who he was. When she heard the news of his death, she didn't feel anything in her heart, but she couldn't stop crying.
"Just sit here for a while, I'm going out!"
As Zi'an walked out of the door, he saw the Jin guards beside King Liang coming over.
"Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Liang invites you to the imperial study."
"What's the matter?" Zi'an asked.
The Jin guard said: "The two assassins could not bear the torture and confessed, revealing the mastermind behind the scenes."
Zi'an said almost subconsciously: "Confessed? Did they all say that my princess was the mastermind behind this?"
The Great Jin guard was startled, "No."
Zian breathed a sigh of relief, "No? That's good."
The Great Jin guard looked at her, "The assassin said the princess was the messenger."
Zi'an lowered his eyes, "I am too happy too early."
She had thought in her heart many times that it would not be so easy to catch the assassin, and he must be targeted. But at that time, she guessed that he was targeted at Zhuangzhuang, because Zhuangzhuang was now in charge of the harem. If she was suspected, even if she could not be convicted, she would not be able to interfere in the affairs of the harem.
But she didn't expect that the other party didn't touch Zhuangzhuang, but touched her instead.
She smiled bitterly and said, Xia Zian, ah, Xia Zian, you are so charming.
"Okay, I'll go in and tell Rouyao and then I'll be there." Zi'an said.
"Okay, then I'll leave first." The Jin guard bowed and left.
Zi'an went in, told the imperial physician what to pay attention to, and then left.
When they arrived at the imperial study, King Ye and King Liang were both there, and both of them looked solemn.
Zi'an naturally knew what was going on. This time, the interrogation was accompanied by the Minister of Justice, and the eunuch Bao who was beside the emperor was also there. The emperor attached great importance to this assassination, not because of the noble concubine, but because Lady Chen was present.
Moreover, the appearance of an assassin in the palace was a challenge to the emperor's authority, which no one could tolerate.
The emperor had been ill for a long time and had no idea what the matter was about the same-life Gu. He only looked at the surface, and the surface was that the national treasure of his Great Zhou was almost killed.
"What did the assassin say?" Zi'an asked.
Prince Liang said in a deep voice, "At first they refused to say anything, but later the Minister of Justice said they would be tortured, and finally they confessed. They admitted that it was the princess who paid them a large sum of money to assassinate the noble concubine."
Ye Wang coughed and said, "Eunuch Bao has gone to report to the emperor."
"Hmm!" Zi'an smiled bitterly, "It seems that I underestimated the noble concubine."
King Liang said angrily, "If I had known to catch those two, I would have beaten them to death on the spot."
The Night King said calmly: "There are too many people, you can't kill them all. They have already set a trap for her. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time."
"But, Eunuch Bao has already reported to the emperor that there is an assassin in the palace. Given the emperor's temper, he would rather commit an injustice than let him go."
The Night King said calmly: "Don't worry, your father will not punish the royal sister-in-law now. Doesn't he still want the royal sister-in-law to treat his illness?"
"That being said, we can't just pretend nothing happened." Prince Liang knew the emperor's temper. He had been with the emperor for many years, and they were father and son. How could he not know
The Night King's face was cold and calm. "As long as no lives are lost, anything is fine. Now that all the people have been sent out, I'm afraid there will be news back the day after tomorrow morning."
Zi'an's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and he looked up at Ye Wang, "Ye Wang, you should withdraw your people first. You can't kill Nan Huai Wang yet."
The Night King looked at her in confusion, "Why?"
"I'm not sure if the mother Gu is the noble concubine. If the mother Gu is Prince Nan Huai, then the seventh brother is in danger."
“But hasn’t this been tested before?” Ye Wang said.
“Yes…” Zi’an had no evidence to convince the two, but he felt uneasy and thought things were not that simple.
"Don't worry, the mother Gu should be the noble concubine." King Liang said, "I got the news that King Nan Huai blamed Sun Fang'er for this. This time Sun Fang'er was also injured. It should be because of this. King Nan Huai thinks highly of himself and will not tolerate betrayal."
Zi'an said, "No, Sun Fang'er was not killed by Nan Huai Wang's men, but by the noble concubine."
"They are birds of a feather, mother and son. Doesn't it matter who kills them? Moreover, from previous tests, the mother's poison may have been eliminated. In fact, if the mother's poison is eliminated, the child's poison should not be activated." King Liang said.
Things are not that simple, it can't be that simple. Zi'an became more and more frightened, because both King Ye and King Liang seemed to be following the direction guided by Concubine Dowager.
