Consort Xiang had just regained consciousness, and her body was still weak. Su Yingxue administered acupuncture to help stabilize her condition, waiting for her to gradually regain strength and open her eyes.
Consort Xiang, who had previously lost consciousness, opened her eyes and saw Su Yingxue by her bedside. She anxiously grabbed her hand and said, âGenius Doctor, did you also die? Is it because of me? Iâm sorryâ¦â
âYour Majesty, I am not dead. You have also awakened,â Su Yingxue spoke in a gentle tone.
âWhat? Iâm not dead? But I felt so much pain, unable to breathe, and kept spitting bloodâ¦â Consort Xiang touched the corners of her mouth, where bloodstains were still present. âLook, Iâve vomited so much blood, yet I can still talk to you?â
Realizing something was amiss, Consort Xiang touched herself and then Su Yingxucâs hand. She exclaimed in joy, âCould it be⦠Iâve come back to life?!â
Su Yingxue made a quiet gesture, âYour Majesty, indeed, you were killed, but now you are alive.â
Consort Xiang shook her head in disbelief. How could someone who had died come back to life?
Could the genius doctor in front of her be a deity descended to the mortal realm?
Not only could she detoxify her, but she could also bring her back from the dead?
âYour Majesty, the emperor is still waiting outside, but I have an important question that requires a clear answer from Your Majesty,â Su Yingxueâs tone was earnest. Even though Consort Xiangâs face was not visible, Su Yingxue could sense the seriousness in her eyes.
Consort Xiang tightly clenched her sleeves. âAre you asking why I died? At first, I heard that you were in trouble outside the palace, so I begged the emperor to bring you into the palace, hoping that he would protect you. But when I drank the medicine brought by Xiang Ling, I immediately felt indescribable pain in my organs, then I vomited blood and lost consciousness.â
âI didnât encounter any trouble. Someone had long planned this. They poisoned you and framed me, killing two birds with one stone!â Su Yingxueâs mind quickly turned, and she deduced that the mastermind behind this was the empress!
She had Chu Chengye under her control, so she directly killed Consort Xiang, making the emperor personally execute her!
Consort Xiangâs arm trembled. âI didnât expect that even Xiang Ling would betray me!â
âIt might not be Xiang Ling. The empress had just encountered an accident, and she hastily executed everyone in your palace. Donât you think something is suspicious about it?â Su Yingxue hoped that Chu Yihan would bring back good news.
Consort Xiang took a deep breath as numerous scenes flashed through her mind, fueling deep-seated anger.
The empress! No matter how much she tried to compromise, the empress would never spare her!
She had even risked her own life!
To be able to come back to life, it was all thanks to the genius doctor by her side. She resented it! She would never take another step back!
âXiangâer? Xiangâer, are you awake?â Chu Mingyuanâs excited voice came from outside the curtain.
Consort Xiang steadied her mind and forced herself to suppress the hatred within her heart.
Su Yingxue invited Chu Mingyuan inside. When Chu Mingyuan saw Consort Xiang sitting on the bed, he could hardly believe his eyes.
He immediately rushed forward and embraced Consort Xiang tightly. Tears of joy welled up in Consort Xiangâs eyes as she said, âEmperor, it was so close. Xiangâer can still be by your sideâ¦â
âXiangâer! Youâre truly alive!â Chu Mingyuanâs eyes were slightly red, unable to contain his excitement.
Su Yingxue silently stood by the side and saw the empress enter, her expression initially fierce.
But upon seeing Consort Xiangâs eyes open, she was frightened, her face turning pale.. âAh! Itâs a ghost! A ghost! How are you still alive?!â
