Just as he was in a dilemma, Su Yingxue suddenly walked forward and knelt.â Emperor, I can prove that my brother was indeed drugged at that time. It happened in my clinic. I checked my brotherâs pulse. He was drugged with an excessive amount of knockout powder and Rosemary, which is why he was delirious.â
âWhat a joke. A dignified young general with deep internal strength would be so easily drugged?â When Chu Chengye saw Su Yingxue, he wanted her to submit to him, so he immediately retorted.
âYour Highness also possesses deep inner strength. Why donât 1 prepare this incense and let Your Highness try it?â Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows.
âNo!â Chu Mingyuan intervened.
âSu Yingxue, donât mess around. Yeâer is a prince. How can he be your test subject? If you know how to make medicine, 1 can see if the Ninth Brother will do such a ridiculous thing!â The empress snorted coldly, wanting to shift the responsibility of testing the medicine to Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue exchanged glances. He didnât mind helping her practice.
However, Su Yingxue didnât agree!
She said lightly, âBrother canât compare to the Ninth Princeâs martial arts. Iâm afraid that Seventh Prince will fall behind by more than a hundred streets. The effects of the medicine are not the same.â
Chu Chengye gritted his teeth and roared, âSu Yingxue! Are you saying that I am inferior to the Ninth Imperial Uncle?â
Su Yingxue turned around, her eyes exceptionally innocent. âDid Your Highness think you were much stronger than Ninth Prince?â
Chu Yihanâs lips curled up imperceptibly.
On the other hand, Chu Chengye was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
This naked exposure was the stark reality!
âAlright, itâs fine if you want to test the medicine, but we need to find out whether Su Hao has defiled Miss Wuâs innocence. However, Su Yingxue, your testimony alone is not sufficient.â Chu Mingyuanâs words were impartial.
After all, who wouldnât protect their brother?
A shadow of dark determination passed through Su Yingxueâs eyes. She glanced at Madam Wu, who knelt nearby.
She was firmly held down by the empressâs servant girl, and Wu Ruofei was also holding her down at her side. Nevertheless, her eyes were still filled with resentment.
âSigh, if my testimony isnât enough, I can only let my elder brother endure and marry Miss Wu. Who asked her to cling to my brother so persistently?â Su Yingxue sighed helplessly.
âWhoâs clinging to him? What if he harms my daughter after marriage? We wonât proceed with this marriage! We wonât!â Madam Wu couldnât contain her anger any longer and struggled to break free.
âMadam Wu, donât speak nonsense! You came to beg me for this marriage!â The empress wished she could knock some sense into Madam Wu.
This fool was wavering between wanting and not wanting the marriage!
What was she thinking?
âMother, I want to marry Brother Su Hao! Iâm already his! I wonât marry anyone else if not him!â Wu Ruofei cried anxiously, her mind buzzing.
The corners of Su Yingxueâs mouth twitched. âMiss Wu, donât speak so affectionately. Iâm afraid youâve already lost your innocence. Aside from my brother, no one else can falsely accuse you, right?â
âYouâre the one whose innocence has been ruined! Iâm still pure!â Wu Ruofei made a bold statement.
However, Su Yingxue chuckled. âThese words contradict each other. Didnât you say earlier that my brother tarnished your innocence?â
âIâ¦â Wu Ruofei couldnât make sense of the situation and covered her mouth in panic.
âNonsense! Wu Ruofei, if you dare to falsely accuse an official of the imperial court, I wonât spare you!â Chu Mingyuan shouted coldly..
