She held Sheng Ping’s hand and realized that she had been poisoned. She picked up the bowl and smelled it, finding out that the medicine she had given Sheng Ping was poisoned!
“Dr. Su, your mother was a noble from the Great Wei Dynasty, and she looked exactly like you, very beautiful… so beautiful! Unfortunately, she…”
“Sheng Ping, don’t speak yet!”
Su Yingxue inserted a silver needle into her chest to stabilize her heart and prevent the poison from spreading.
But Sheng Ping looked at her as if relieved of a heavy burden. “Miss Su, my life is coming to an end, but 1 don’t want to implicate you. Please leave!”
“Who harmed you? You mentioned that my mother was a noble of the Great Wei Dynasty, and if she was from the Great Wei Dynasty, why did she come to the Great Cheng Dynasty? Hasn’t the Great Wei Dynasty searched for her?” Su Yingxue was worried about Sheng Ping’s life and had many questions about her mother’s background.
“She had a falling out with the nobles, so she left… Puff!”
The continuous vomiting of blood cut off Sheng Ping’s words.
All the words she wanted to say were stuck in her mouth.
There was a trace of regret in her beautiful eyes.
She hadn’t been able to tell Su Yingxue the whole truth before her death.
But… she was grateful to Su Yingxue.
“Princess? Princess! Princess Sheng Ping!”
Su Yingxue held her lifeless body. The poison was too strong, and there was no time for her to save Sheng Ping.
The silver needle she had inserted into Sheng Ping’s chest had turned black. She had inadvertently administered a lethal dose of Red-Crowned Crane Herb, taking Sheng Ping’s life in an instant.
“Princess!” Lian’er screamed when she saw the scene. She accused Su Yingxue and cried while hugging Sheng Ping.
“Princess, you haven’t met Ninth Prince yet. How can you leave?”
Su Yingxue’s heart was in turmoil.
How could there be Red-Crowned Crane Herb in the medicine she had given Sheng Ping?
“How dare you, Su Yingxue! You dare to plot against the princess of Yue Kingdom!”
Chu Xiuwen’s voice was cold. He had a group of palace guards block the door in a domineering manner.
He went forward to check Sheng Ping’s pulse and had a faint smile in secret. “The princess is dead.”
He turned around and stared at Su Yingxue with a dark expression. “Su Yingxue, today, the Emperor was going to meet the princess, and she was to be bestowed in marriage. How dare you poison her! You’re audacious!”
“I didn’t.” Su Yingxue’s face was livid.
She knew she had been set up!
“Dr. Su, our princess trusted you so much that she never checked the medicine you sent. This medicine was personally prepared for you. How could you poison the princess!” Lian’er cried bitterly.
She had been with Sheng Ping for many years, but she hadn’t been able to meet Chu Yihan.
“I have no reason to harm the princess! 1 didn’t put poison in the bowl! As for the Third Prince…” Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes. “You’ve arrived just in time!”
Her words were tinged with sarcasm.
Chu Xiuwen’s eyes darkened. “If I hadn’t arrived in time and you had escaped, wouldn’t the princess have died in vain? Now, with both witnesses and evidence, Su Yingxue, you will have to defend yourself in front of the Emperor!”
Chu Xiuwen waved his hand, and the palace guards escorted Su Yingxue away.
As Su Yingxue was being led out of the Princess’s Manor, she saw Zi Wei holding a knife.
She shook her head at him. He couldn’t impulsively save her, or he would be caught as well.
In the imperial study, Su Yingxue knelt in front of Chu Mingyuan. Chu Mingyuan was furious. “Su Yingxue, what grudge do you have with Princess Sheng Ping? You dared to poison her to vent your anger!”
There was disappointment in his eyes. He had expected her to become a top female genius doctor like her mother.
But unexpectedly…
“Emperor, I didn’t kill Princess Sheng Ping. I have no reason to do this!” Su Yingxue’s face darkened as she quickly analyzed the entire situation in her mind.
She had been preoccupied with Sheng Ping’s wish to meet Chu Yihan and had forgotten to conceal her whereabouts when entering the Princess’s Manor..
