After Judge Wu made sure that no one was around, he stared at Gu Qingxue in confusion. “What does this matter have to do with you? Did the empress invite you to treat the thirteenth princess?”

“No, I didn’t see the princess. The empress suspects that I’m the one who harmed the thirteenth princess. ” Gu Qingxue could not help but sneer at the end of her sentence.

Judge Wu r s face sank, and he spat out a word. “Ridiculous.”

“I’m here to ask the judge if the thirteenth princess fell off the carriage because she was really anxious.” Gu Qingxue blinked, observing Judge Wu expression.

“It does look like an accident, but we weren’t there at the time. We can’t make a conclusion without seeing what happened,” Judge Wu said meaningfully.

Gu Qingxue immediately understood what Judge Wu was trying to say, and she leaned in closer. “Hearing your words, it seems that you suspect that there is something else behind this?”

“The thirteenth princess fell from the carriage by accident. Logically speaking, her wrist should be injured to a certain extent. However, her wrist is fine, only her head was injured.” As judge Wu spoke, his fingertips lightly tapped on the table.

Gu Qingxue’s eyes revealed her understanding.

According to common sense, if it was an accidental fall from the carriage, the thirteenth princess would have unconsciously exerted force on her wrist. The weight of her body would cause a certain degree of injury to her wrist. This was also why many people would injure their wrists when falling from a high place.

“If that’s the case, then the thirteenth princess’s sudden fall from the carriage shouldn’t be that simple. The empress actually suspects that she fell off the horse because of her unstable state of mind. It’s truly laughable to think of it this way.” Gu Qingxue recalled the empress’ self-righteous look today and felt that she was even more foolish.

Judge Wu wanted to say something, but he stopped. He cautiously looked around, and after making sure that no one could hear their conversation, he finally said in a soft voice, “If you were the empress, and your princess suddenly fell from the carriage and fell into a coma, and your son came into the palace to tell you that she fell from the horse because her mind was unstable, would you choose to believe your son or believe a doctor who has always been at odds with you?

“It seems like His Highness has a very strong opinion of me.” Gu Qingxue understood that the crown prince must have been behind this. That was why the empress was so insistent that the thirteenth princess’s fall from the carriage had something to do with her and the Regent Kings residence.

Judge Wu said, “The crown prince rarely targets others like this. How did you provoke His Highness?”

Gu Qingxue put on an innocent expression. “If I say I didn’t provoke him, would you believe me?”

“l naturally believe you. However, no matter what dispute you have with the crown prince, it’s best to resolve it as soon as possible. The crown prince may seem gentle and harmless, but which truly harmless prince could become the crown prince from a young age and stand for so many years without falling?” Judge Wu said after shaking his head.

The smile on Gu Qingxue’s lips quickly deepened, and there was even more admiration in her eyes when she looked at Judge Wu. “As expected of you. You’re more cunning than ordinary people. I have the same thoughts. I think the crown prince has his own strengths..”
