Rong Zhan’s eyes moved slightly as he looked towards the door.

Very quickly, Liu Yi pushed the door open and entered. Then, he casually threw Imperial physician Qin, who was on his shoulder, onto the ground like he was throwing away trash.

“Hey!” Imperial physician Qin’s old bones had suffered enough from the fall. He groaned and rubbed his old waist which was in pain from the fall. Then, he reached out to touch his shoulder and instantly felt a hand full of blood, “Help, quick, help me stop the bleeding. I, I can’t take it anymore…”

Gu Qingxue lazily glanced at Imperial Physician Qin’s wound. “Don’t believe him. He’s just pretending. He won’t die.”

Imperial Physician Qin almost vomited blood from anger at Gu Qingxue’s words. “Gu Qingxue, what did you just say?!”

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and gave Imperial Physician Qin a kick without any trace of politeness.

Imperial Physician Qin quickly changed his words. “I, I, I, I was wrong. I don’t dare to do it again.”

“It’s you! You killed Beauty Yin back then, right?” Madam Zou could not care less about the pain as she glared at Imperial Physician Qin and asked.

Imperial Physician Qin looked at Madam Zou in a daze with a face full of disbelief. “Why haven’t you gone crazy? No, why do you know how to speak?!”

Madam Zou looked at Imperial Physician Qin’s shocked expression and an inexplicable pleasure emerged in her heart. She sneered and did not answer.

“Imperial Physician Qin, I will give you a chance to live, and tell me the truth about the matter with Beauty Yin.” Rong Zhan’s cold voice was heard.

Imperial Physician Qin did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Rong Zhan. He obediently lowered his head and told him what happened that year.

In fact, the truth of the matter was similar to what Gu Oingxue and the others had originally guessed. It was precisely Noble Consort Xian who could not stand Beauty Yin’s beauty and the emperor’s favor at that time, so she had secretly framed her and had Imperial Physician Oin use the Withered Bones Poison on her.

Imperial physician Qin wasn’t an idiot.

He was very clear that Beauty Yin’s favor was unending, and there would be a day when she would be pregnant with the emperor’s child. At that time, once the Gu Worm of Withered Bones Poison acted up, both mother and child would be harmed. He was also the person in charge of taking care of Beauty Yin’s body. If he could not get out in time, he would be the one in trouble.

Hence, Imperial Physician Qin decided to find a scapegoat.

“Gu Ye’s medical skills are brilliant and he has always been kind. I deliberately got close to him, and after Beauty Yin got pregnant, I let Gu Ye take care of her…” Imperial physician Qin did not even dare to look up at Gu Qingxue’s face.

Gu Qingxue was on the verge of exploding in anger. At that moment, she even wished she could just burn Imperial Physician Qin’s bones and scatter his ashes.

How could there be such a shameless person? He was clearly the one who poisoned Beauty Yin, but in the end, he made her innocent father take the blame for her.

“So, you took advantage of my father’s kindness. You’ve planned to plot against my father from the beginning, right?” Gu Qingxue stared intently at Imperial Physician Qin and asked.

Imperial Physician Qin lowered his head after being questioned and replied weakly, “I had no choice, what else could I have done?”

Gu Qingxue was so angry that she laughed. She walked over, raised her hand, and gave Imperial Physician Qin a heavy slap.

No one present stopped Gu Qingxue. They all looked on with cold expressions.

Imperial Physician Qin was the main culprit behind all the tragedies in the Gu family. If he had not found Gu Ye to be a scapegoat, Gu Ye would not have died. With his medical skills, he would definitely be able to rise to the top. If that were the case, Old Madam Gu would not have gone crazy, the Gu family would not have fallen into the Eldest Madam’s hands, and Gu Qingxue would not have been tricked by the Eldest Madam into marrying into Dafu Village..
