To prevent unrelated individuals from being harmed, Chu Qianli instructed Qing Ming to burn the Yuqing wood in Feng Yexuan's chambers.
Although Consort Jin and others were unwilling to believe it, with Prince Xuan present, no one dared to speak out.
Feng Yexuan directly led Wu Weizi into his chambers.
The others remained in the main hall, waiting.
After an unknown amount of time, Qing Ming walked ahead, Feng Yexuan followed behind, and they returned.
"Xuan'er..." Consort Jin was about to go and greet him.
Unexpectedly, as Feng Yexuan stepped into the main hall, he flicked his sleeves.
With a "snap," the box containing the Yuqing wood was thrown onto the ground.
"Xuan'er!" Consort Jin was startled. What did this mean?
Feng Yexuan's gaze fell upon Yu Linglong. "May I ask, Miss Yu, for an explanation?"
When the burning Yuqing wood's fragrance collided with the scent of Wu Weizi, even someone with profound internal energy like him felt a sudden surge in his blood!
This medicinal effect was not something ordinary people could withstand!
"This..." Consort Jin looked at Feng Yexuan, then at Yu Linglong, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
Could it be that this matter was indeed true...?
Yu Linglong's expression remained calm even now.
She raised her clear, watery eyes, met Feng Yexuan's gaze, and her voice was gentle, with no significant fluctuations.
"Your Highness, this Yuqing wood was bestowed upon me by the Empress Dowager. I myself was reluctant to use it, so I gifted it to Miss Chu."
"I do not understand why Your Highness is so agitated. I have studied medicine for many years and have never heard of any effect when Yuqing wood is combined with Wu Weizi."
"As for the scent of Wu Weizi that Fourteenth Master detected on Xiao Tao the other night, I will need to ask Xiao Tao about it to understand the reason."
"But who could know what effect their scents would have when mixed together? At least, I am not aware. If Miss Chu is aware..."
"Miss Yu, are you trying to shift the suspicion onto me again?"
Chu Qianli interrupted her, a half-smile playing on her lips.
"Miss Yu is unwilling to admit that she knows this, are you implying that your medical skills are inferior to mine?"
Yu Linglong pursed her lips, the gentleness in her eyes no longer able to be displayed.
She was a disciple of Wu Chenzi, and despite her young age, she was his only formal disciple.
As for Wu Chenzi himself, he was an absolute legendary figure.
Many medical practitioners spent their entire lives longing to catch a glimpse of Wu Chenzi's true appearance, yet never succeeded.
Let alone, to be accepted as his student!
In the entire imperial city, who dared to claim their medical skills were superior to Yu Linglong's?
Chu Qianli's words were indeed too arrogant!
Although everyone in the room felt that the Consort's words were somewhat presumptuous.
However, if even the Consort knew that these two items could not be mixed, then if Yu Linglong did not know, wouldn't it truly prove the Consort's words, that her medical skills were inferior to the Consort's?
But if Yu Linglong knew, then... wouldn't her previous words be a lie?
A wave of anxiety washed over the crowd.
Feng Yexuan's expression was extremely displeased.
Yu Linglong had indeed been of service to the Prince's mansion, but if she were to harm someone within it, he would not tolerate it!
"Your Highness, Xiao Tao has arrived!" Qing Ming suddenly led a maidservant into the room.
The important figures in the room startled Xiao Tao, who immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Your... your servant greets..."
Qing Ming, with an impatient look, asked in a deep voice, "Why did you bring Wu Weizi to see Fourteenth Master the night before last? Speak!"
