Seeing Bai Jinzhi’s face change dramatically, the Imperial Physician continued, "Mrs. Qin, rest assured. Let this old minister prescribe medicine for the Princess of Zhen. After taking it, her symptoms will be somewhat alleviated. However, if proper treatment is desired, Director Huang, the Imperial Physician, should be consulted for the Princess of Zhen. Unfortunately, Imperial Physician Huang is currently in Huayang City, and it may be out of reach."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician!" Bai Jinxiu nodded to the Imperial Physician.
The Imperial Physician came out from the inner chamber and sat by a small round table under the lamp to write a prescription for Bai Qingyan.
The voice of Li Mingrui’s servant pleading for mercy echoed from the Qinghui Courtyard.
Bai Jinxiu tucked Bai Qingyan in and sniffed, whispering, "Eldest Young Lady, don’t worry. Rest assured and sleep. Once the Imperial Physician writes the prescription, I will take it to see the Crown Prince!"
Bai Qingyan nodded and then slowly closed her eyes to rest.
The nanny by the Crown Princess Consort’s side saw Bai Qingyan’s face under the candlelight and found it extremely pale and unsightly. The nanny tightened her hands, clasped in front of her lower abdomen. She felt that the Princess of Zhen, who appeared to barely cling to life, would definitely not pose the threat to her Crown Princess Consort as the Crown Princess Consort’s maid had claimed.

The main hall was brightly lit.
Quan Yu tried several times to inform the Crown Prince about Bai Jinxiu’s request for an Imperial Physician, but he couldn’t find an opportunity to speak. He knew it shouldn’t appear too deliberate, so he could only stand by and wait for the right moment.
The Crown Prince ordered someone to move the brazier to his feet. He extended his hand to the fire while listening to Old Fang talk about Wang Qiulu.
Upon hearing that Wang Qiulu was still alive, the Crown Prince was quite shocked. He recalled... that night when Bai Qingyan went to the prison to see Wang Jianghai, the Crown Prince also went. Bai Qingyan said Wang Jianghai had asked the prison guard to take her fourth uncle’s jade pendant to her, causing her to rush to the prison in panic, only to be deceived by Wang Jianghai, which saddened her greatly.
"So... the Princess of Zhen saved that Wang Qiulu. I remember... Wang Qiulu should have been executed!" The Crown Prince frowned deeply.
Quan Yu gritted his teeth. This Old Fang was trying to frame the Princess of Zhen again.
"Indeed!" Old Fang bowed deeply. "The Princess of Zhen is meticulous and cautious, so she didn’t use anyone from the Bai Mansion. Instead, she sent someone to Shuoyang to find someone related to the Court of Judicial Review’s prison guard. She gave them money to rescue Wang Qiulu. Now, I have sent someone to capture that person, and I have brought the prison guard and Wang Qiulu here!"
After finishing, Old Fang signaled to Ren Shijie.
Ren Shijie hurriedly picked up the account books and contracts on the table and respectfully handed them to the Crown Prince. "This is the record of the house that the person from Shuoyang bought after returning from Dadu City. This... is the purchase record of a three-entry courtyard in Dadu City, and the buyer is that prison guard."
The Crown Prince frowned, quickly flipping through the purchase records. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Old Fang thought about it, then deliberately asked, "Did the Princess of Zhen ever tell you, Crown Prince, about rescuing Wang Qiulu?"
The Crown Prince recalled Bai Qingyan in the prison, holding the jade pendant in her hand with tears in her eyes, telling him... Wang Jianghai deceived her into saving his son. The Crown Prince wasn’t sure if this counted as Bai Qingyan telling him.
Seeing the Crown Prince hesitate, Old Fang added, "Your Highness, shall we call the witnesses?"
